it could have a little more depth throughout the facades. i'm interested to hear what the other commissioners say. >> commissioner moore. >> the project does a number of things correctly. i think the investigation into modifying massing with respect to the adjoining building on vanness is an interesting roof. i regret that i did not have any prior plans in the package which really makes it impossible to understand the intent of the project. there's always an issue on unit size, in this project, i would seem that increased density, the individual unit size is a very valid comment and something that i would like to look at. this with the fact that without affordable site, this is definitely geared toward a market which is not really exactly the expression of buildings in that particular area. what i mean by that is i would like to see a better balance of more affordable, prerchably on-site units, and i would like to see a densefication hints on by the other commissioners, but i'm not quite sure how that would play out. i am concerned with the

the project has made minor revisions to the facade to better define is recess around the brick facade. as part of the large project authorization, they're will -- since the last hearing, the planning department has not received additional correspondence in support or opposition of the project and the project sponsor has provided an update to their efforts since the last hearing. in summary, the department supports the project because on balance, it meets the goals and objections of the general plan, missionary plan, and the intent of the urban mixed use district. the project would add 60 new dwelling units to the city's housing stock, including 12 on site affordable units, and the project exhibits overall design that's compatible with the diverse character of the surrounding neighborhood. it meets all applicable code requirements, noting the exceptions requested as part of the large project authorization. this concludes staff report. i'm available for any questions. >> good afternoon, commissioners. names jesse stewart with the project sponsor. thank you for the opportunity to present

also allowing more natural light into the first floor at the rear facade. with the removal of the existing wood deck from the second floor and the access from the existing second unit, the project proposes to cutback the rear most portion of the roof, the existing gable roof to provide a roof deck for access by the existing upper unit and we, as the project team, wanted to make sure that there was direct access of open space from that unit, not having thome go around. we wanted to provide that roof deck at the top. all of this work is not viz frbl the street and it is only approximately nine feet from cutting back from the existing roof facade. despited in this section, you can kind of see the area towards the left is the roof deck being proposed. the roof deck that we propose will be surrounded on the perimeter with planter boxes for screening and allow for the top of the partial height walls on the perimeter to extend up to the bottom portion of the existing roof eaves. i will happily answer any questions that you have and i thank you for allowing us to p

it's -- the facade has been changed. it's not the same as it was, if you look at the buildings across the street. and, honestly, i get where the neighbors are coming from, i truly do. but i would be a hypocrit to say, we have 141,000 available capacity and say no to this. the neighborhood needs to work with the supervisor if there's an issue around the perceived density issues and potential demolitions. so i'm going to force the issue and make a motion to approve the project with conditions as outlined. >> commissioner melger: i said what i needed to say. >> president hillis: do i hear a second? >> second. >> can i ask for further discussion on the outcome of continuance versus approval. what is the outcome if there was a motion to continue? >> president hillis: i think we've seen projects that have happened where there's, again, 100 units of housing, that there's give and take and there's discussion and i can't ask that of the developer because it hasn't been done and the neighbors, in that we're in a difficult situatio

during the post-war reconstruction an attempt was made to restore each facade in the style in which itwas originally built and as far as this could be ascertained needless to say this was a laborious task requiring experts and success has done a great deal to create the reputation that polish restores have today. not only the houses destroyed in the war have been reconstructed the churches have been rebuilt to in this case the aim was not so much to achieve authenticity as credibility. historically speaking the most important church in warsaw is the cathedral many famous poles are buried. a few works of art have survived this century this late crucifix is one of them. like every other medieval town warsaw was surrounded by a city wall with turrets embrasures gates and battlements it took two hundred years to build but even before the wholesale destruction of the war very little of it was still standing it had lost its function long ago. today the historic center of warsaw is paradoxically the youngest old city in europe though it certainly doesn't look at it is a modern medieval city w

why is the facade of our new building modern, you might ask? because the residential guidelines call for a following of today's material. the buildings articulated quite well because it should be because the rdg calls for well articulated facades to tie in with its neighbors. originally we had planned to subdivide the rather property, and that request has been removed, leading to the variance request for the rear yard. i have one more photo here that shows the line of the 40 foot height limit, and it shows that it goes down the hill and it ties back to the -- to the row the houses that go down the hill. i'd like to, with that, turn this over to my client, and i'm available to answer any questions. >> hi. my name is hadsef maogami, and i'm the owner of the project. we're finally getting to a point where we're coming to the solution of the proposal of building a house on this -- it was supposed to be for me eight years ago, but here we are. so we've worked hard during this eight years to meet with the neighbors, work with the planning department,

rendering building facades with texture and dem. you can see three different examples at the bottom. very different stylisitickly with different intentses. they want to get to a thoughtful grain and soft texture on the front of the building. showing a lot of depth. at the ground floor and also above the ground floor and one example shows the top of a building and being or nate at the top. others show how you can use the primary facades material itself. and it is a more contemporary expression and then something that shows the weight of how the ground floor can be done, something that is very much done at the pedestrian scale. and then this is -- the second half of the ground floor, a8, which looks at active building frontages and this is to describe the diagram on the left is looking at a traditional store front. rather than assuming that someone needs to come in to achieve this guideline, has to achieve something that looks historic or looks like this, it is really to describe the pieces and parts and why they're important so someo

of a democracy; it maintains the facade, but undermines the reality. in a place like saudi arabia, where that regional pressure to even maintain the democratic facade isn't there, you have a straight forward dictatorship. you have a monarchy which leaves very little room for any independent civil society; any independent press; and simply rules by fiat because it can. (mob yelling) (gun shot) - [narrator] low oil prices have created volatility in venezuela. - [levine] venezuela, not saudi arabia, has the largest reserves of oil in the world. it doesn't tap those. it doesn't tap because it doesn't know how. and it doesn't have the resources to. it's... instead treated pdvsa like a piggy bank. it's used it to subsidize the price of everything in the country. - [roth] there are horrible shortages in venezuela. the economy has been so mismanaged that you can't even get basic necessities in the grocery store. people have to search to get their day's meals. the old american adage: no taxation without representation, works in reverse as well. if a government

the facade survived the 1906 earthquake. it's a contributing building to the national market area. the applicant has completed substantial work to the property including seismic upgrade and terra cotta repair and window replacement and storefront system replacement and masonry and fire escape repair and roof replacement. and the proposed plan includes replacement of windows and storefronts, to mirror the historic configuration. >> supervisor breed: is there any way, though we have some of the photos in our packet while you're doing your presentation, i think that it would be helpful to share those with the members of the public. thank you. >> the proposed maintenance plan for 973 market includes the inspection of the foundation, terra cota windows, storefront system, masonry, fire escape and roof on a five to 10-year cycle. regarding the enforcement case for 973 market, october 2015, the office of short-term rentals imposed a penalty of $191,664 on raintree as the property owner of 973 market for illegally offering nine short-term rental units at the property. and on november 29, 2

they had done more work to the facade than was on the group plans. so she had submitted a permit to correct the violations in 2014, were not diligently pursuing that. they did obtain another permit, which i believe they are referring to. it stated that the -- scope of work, and was not reviewed by planning to repair front stucco in kind as the scope of work. it's my understanding that there was no stucco there to be repaired in kind, so that is a new condition on the property, so that's misrepresenting the scope of work. but we did pursue enforcement -- they had -- at least on file -- the application to correct the facade, but we pursued enforcement on the group housing because they were not compliant on that. so as i noted, we do the return receipts, so we received one for our notice of enforcement. has a signature here. does not list a name. we have the notice of violation. the signature is here. does not have the name. and our notice of penalty, which is after the notice of violation, it says we've issued notice of violation. you have not responde

i spoke about the facade, it's not difficult to preserve stuff like that. shoring and bracing. we don't see any reason as inspectors why it can't be preserved and then going back to the code perspective, it's better to upgrade the areas of the building not visible right away. i would suggest an element of joint effort. documented and approved by the planning department. penalties. two times penalty is based on the valuation of the work performed in access of what was approved. so if the number is $10,000 just for example and they do an extra $1,000, it's two times based on the 1,000. it's limited and that's what the code allows for. we can't go beyond our code. those are the tools we have. the nine times of course is -- we hardly see this, but when somebody were to go out there and completely tear down a building and have no permit at all. i don't know if i have ever seen that. monetary penalties as we're saying are typically small based on work valuations. what does add to the penalties is the code enforcement fees and orders of abatement, that takes it into thousands of dolla

in review of the conditional use application, the department supports the facade. it's in the review of the mandatory and public dr that staff determined the staff exceeded the thresholds of 317 and required the conditional use application another condition that arose, a newly built retaining wall encroaches to the property on the northwest. the department considers the resolution of this issue to be a private matter. since december 7, publishing of the case report, planning department has received 12 letters and emails in support. i provided copies of 11, that i had early enough to print. in seeking conditional use operation, the project add a second dwelling unit to maximize the density of the sites. the modified project with two units would meet criteria q of the residential demolition, asking whether or not the replacement project would maximize density. the project would need to be designed in the manner that both units would meet building code requirements. with that said, the department finds the project with modifications to be necessary and compatible. the

they have it six years, but it shouldn't be in this bill because this bill is sort of a half-baked facade to make it look as if we are keeping government open. we're keeping government debilitated by not addressing, coming to agreement on the omnibus that we know that we have to do, that addresses the needs of our military as it recognizes the security provisions in the domestic bill that are about security. whether it's the state department department, veterans' affairs, anti-terrorism activity at the justice department. and the fact that the strength of our country is measured in many ways. certainly our military, which we are very proud, and the agencies i mentioned, but also in the health, education and well-being of the american people. so here we are. what does government do? government does transportation. how can you, if you are in the transportation department make commitments when you're on a short fuse of, was it two weeks in december, now four weeks they want to go forward? why don't we just settle it? grow up? take responsibility? get this done for the american people? nobody

in fact, our roof height is 7 feet above the height of our building facade. we have partnered with planning staff and the residential design team throughout the past two years responding to their concerns with modifications to the design through a number of iterations. additionally, we've modified the design as prescribed by the planning commission in response to privacy by eliminating a roof deck, adding a privacy screen at the entry, and providing nonoperable, profited glass windows. the appellants raised the issue of the proposed units looking into their windows, the reality is that the existing building has unobstructed views into their yard and windows, which ours will have none of. many of the modifications centered on lessening the shadow impacts to the neighbors to the north, buildings on lake street, with a viable design that would provide space for three families. the area indicated in yellow represents our proposed fourth floor. this is the living, dining and kitchen spaces 1 one of the units. the level below, part of the same unit, contains the th

it overwhelms the existing facade and doesn't look too good. this is a cross section of that proposed building. if we were to add a unit in the basement, the basement unit would be a studio and mostly underground. the existing three-bedroom unit is pretty inefficient and really a wasted resource for the city. even though it's oversized, two of his bedrooms have windows that don't beat egress or building code. it will fail to cover his land or construction costs due to the need to excavate and create a seismically safe top floor. it would have less square feet it. would make more sense to renovate the existing family house and sell it as a premium. if we retain the existing building, we can only add two new units. the existing facade would be retained, but the new addition would overwhelm it. i will show you that view again. structural requirements would probably post us past the scope and he would be back for a tantamount to demo project. let's look at the changes we've made to the proposed building, taking into account the feedback that we got

its ruined facade looms over the town. past, but of how precarious the future could still be. could kirovsk go the way of kadykchan? it's tempting to see the parallels. if kadykchan relied on coal and the state, then kirovsk is no less dependent on apatite and phosagro. its reserves of apatite are expected to last for another 80 years. that's longer than the soviet union existed. but markets can be fickle and in russia politics has spelled the downfall of many a successful company. so could kirovsk survive without phosagro? on the other side of russia, vladimir has already had to come to terms with the unimaginable. all around him, every day, he's seen the ruins of the old soviet world he and his family worked forfor decades to build. hello there. we have had some very mild there across the british isles over the last couple of days. in fact, you might go so far as to say the weekend felt quite springlike in places, particularly where you got to seize some sunday sunshine. temperatures across eastern england we re temperat

the proposed project does not expand the property's facade. it will not alter or effect the appellant's home in any way on the front facade. this image shows the worst-case shadow impacts of the proposed rear addition. as you can see, it's set back almost 4 feet. doesn't touch the home. it's visible from the home, but views from the home as have been established are not characteristics of the home that convey historical significance. the integrity as explained is not affected by this project. the appellant has not provided any evidence to the contrary. a preservation consultant submitted a letter yesterday advocating for additional review, but that letter, while they discussed the historic character of the home, do not identify any impacts under ceqa to the home. the appellant in the letter discussed the possibility of the properties being included in the historic district, but planning has studied this previously and concluded that the property should not be included in the district. we're also aware of the recent publicity and public concern

the color of this facade of this house is drawing these fans. change this color. there's no gate here so the fans come up on the steps. we're asking for a locking gate. it's one of the most important features here. the this, however, is a change of use without the correct permit, and commissioners moore and melgar recognized that at the planning commission. in fact, the one vote against the conditions that were placed on this permit came from commissioner moore because she wanted to revoke it as a change of use illegally. this permit here completes the transformation of the house into a replica of the film set, into this quote, unquote, shrine for the fans. this plan is causing additional harm to the neighborhood where there has already been so much harm. so far it's just been a few changes to the outside. if it's changed into this, this opens it up for the doors to be cast open and the fans to come inside, as well, and it's going to be that much worse and that much more permanent. and to mr. franklin's concern that an nfr would apply to him rather than to the pro

restore and retain -- i'm trying to think of the right word, preserve the existing northeast and west facades. so in winter 2014, the neighbors began to complain in the early winter of 2015, a neighbor said the front wall of the building which was to be preserved was hanging in space. this call came to d.b.i. so the investigative process we saw moments ago would have had d.b.i. on site and planning notified that this permit is now suspended, notice of violation, stop work. no. no. no. the building -- the contractor told the building department it was rotten and needed to be taken down. the building department took it upon themselves to keep every permit application submitted after that fact to themselves. joe duffy took one of them in. a permit to alter a building that is going to remove all the framing and he didn't catch that -- it went to the building departme department officials joe duffy thought it should go to. it didn't go to planning and then who cleans it up, do the qc on it. if you look at the structural drawings that call for the framing to be new and the preservation of existing

we tried to make it an attractive facade on that side. we heard a lot from your staff, from the neighbors. we had 18 community meetings and we think that that input has really improved the proposal and we're very thankful for that input. this is the preapplication meeting. we invited all the neighbors within 300 feet to come and see the proposal. it was very well-attended. here's a list of neighborhood meetings. doesn't mention eureka valley neighborhood association that they voted last night to endorse the project. every neighborhood group to whom we presented the project when their boards of directors had a chance to consider it, endorsed it unanimously. so eureka valley, the ccbd, the merchants, and the housing coalition. we're very proud of the project, grateful for the input we've got. we're very proud of the support that we've received from your staff and from the neighbors and we'd like your support as well. i'm available to answer questions. will is available. the owners. at your service. >> president hillis: thank you. let's firs
