-- the most ever, for any february. man: this 10-inch water main in willard park is 73 years old. man: at wssc, we're having a year of record -- a ramp up slope of water main breaks that soon is going to reach exponential. man: the damage has been done. and this is the culprit. brunhart: today, 25% of our 5,500 miles of underground water pipes has reached the end of useful life. by the year 2020, 85% will have reached the end of useful life. woman: what to do? wssc is working on that costly problem right now. brunhart: it's not only true here, but it's true throughout our nation. narrator: across the united states, cities and towns are facing the challenge of aging and outdated drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. it's a national problem. but it needs to be approached system by system. allbee: let's frame the systems in terms of the proper context. we have around 16,000 wastewater systems. we don't have a single wastewater system -- we have 16,000 of them. we have about 54,000 drinking water system

>> if you look at the time line, the first notice of violation was issued on february of 2008. no action was taken whatsoever. a second notice was issued in june four of 2008, and it was only after that second noticed that the permit was filed june 12. because they file that permit, we stopped the code enforcement process, to give them a chance to get the permit issued. no further progress took place. then, it was a result of that lack of action that we scheduled a hearing >> it was since then, as we go through this process that finally the permit was issued on january 27. if we did not schedule this case for a hearing, maybe the permit may not have been issued. it may have originally been filed just to stop our process. that is just my speculation. clearly, this shows that through our code enforcement process, no action was taken. you go to the next step. another action is taken. now we are at the point where the permit is issued. hopefully, now that it is issued, the work will get done and we will have a final sign off. sometimes a permit can be issued. it may lie dormant. it

the report has been available since february. we will continue to do that over the next 30 days. with the comments we have heard, from environmentalists, there is an appreciation for the tiered approach because it provides incentive to do it. it also makes the water costly enough to provide incentives to do all the low cost, in energy, water conversation you can still -- you can do. the top tier is such a high dollar amount. >> sounds good. commissioners? any public comment on this item? >> we have no speaker cards. >> hearing none, next item. >> the next item is the presentation and discussion of the treasure island redevelopment project informational presentation. no commission action at this time. this is an informational presentation by the mayor's office of work force and economic development. >> mr. garland. >> good afternoon, commissioners. we are giving you an overview of the treasure island project. the question that arises in my mind is why do you care? you care because he will have to approve numerous documents associated with the development. they include the interage

in february of this year, the new height control plan was added to the maximum height control plan. this first appeared in the revised draft in february, and then again was published a few days ago in april, and it shows up on page 178. i do not believe the public has had the opportunity to read through all of these recently added documents as i chose to do. but i am saying here, this new edition chose a plan that is not on the previously, it is a controlled plan, requiring significantly lower building heights for all of the buildings for the purpose of preventing interference with the marine tracking radar used by the u.s. coast guard vessels called v.t.c. this appears to have been initiated by the u.s. coast guard and its concerns are addressed directly by them in there, the letter -- in their comment letter. the maximum proposed heights allow for significantly taller buildings than those suggested. the text explains these newly added control plans as inconclusive and intentionally vague and it does not explain the true implications. the heights require in consult the station plan

violation on february 2008 and the second notice on june of 2008. i filed for the permit that same month on the 12th. so the notice of abatement costs came after i had filed for the permit. that is why i think it is unfair that that notice was given to me while i already had a permit file. commissioner murphy: when you file for the permit, do you have to have a plan drawn up and submitted to planning? >> certainly. i went through the whole process. since it is an old house, i had to go through the planning department and get a historical review. i had to answer two letters of requirement from planning. then, i was passed to planning. then my neighbors applied for a design review to oppose the planning commission's permission. that was settled finally in september of 2010. it went back to the billing department and was finally issued in january of this year -- it went back to the building department and was finally issued in january of this year, january 27. as soon as the rain stops, i will correct the problems that i have. i have already paid -- th

hearing in february. this is the latest list by at&t even though we are dealing with t-mobile about 55 new antennas they are going to install and this is in "the chronicle "of may 1 to increase network coverage and capacity. what it feels like here is that the cell companies are choosing how many antennas they want to install and it is not up to the city. and they suggest what they want and that is what happens. this is an industrial commercial installation and people use the rooftops for entertainment or viewing the blue angels or fleet week or having barbeques in san francisco. it seems that the antenna companies feel that slapping a sign on the door to the roof that says you might be close to radiational levels is going to prevent people from being affected by these, but i don't believe that's the case. most fires are caused by cigarette butts and this building will have a battery belt around the stairwell building as was pointed out. a lot of the batteries at least on two of them will be ignited from
