the entire lot along fillmore street was one cingular lot. the beautifully historic home sitting at 2300 vallejo built in 1899 was the only home on the lot and the rear portion of the lot represented by the big yellow box there was the yard. in 1955 the city allowed a two unit apartment building to be constructed in the rear yard. effectively dramatically increasing the density on the site and eliminating every square foot of open space. so, in a lot of ways this case is about open space. what we are proposing here and working our way through the system here is to deal with planning code section 317, deal with the affordable issues the mayor talked about in second and restore a significant amount of really usable open space to these three units that have essentially no open space at all. so, now fast forward to 2005 when my client dennis purchased this home. you're going to hear from dennis tonight. he wanted to acquire an historic home. he wanted to do some nice renovations. he did that. he bought the home in 2005. he's going to show you som

fell en oak -- fillmore street, is that something that's in the works? [multiple voices] >> it's on the list as something to talk about. >> we can work with dpw and see where it is on the list. >> thank you, commissioner olague. again, colleagues, this is an opportunity for you to not only let your residents know what projects are in the works, but to the extent there is not something being done that should be a priority, it is an opportunity to raise that issue. i don't know if we have any other questions on any other presentation on districts 5 and 7. why don't we open it up to public comment. and again, thank you to staff for the presentation. >>> i'll use this microphone because it's on. again, my nick hastings is jackie sachs and i want to make comments on the presentations. -- on both districts. regarding district 5, regarding the geary vrt, like i mentioned at the last meeting before you took your recess, that you should flip, go back into the archives through our public records, look into the final report of the geary transit task force that was

i mean, a word about fillmore. within the context, if you believe the compromise was necessary, as i do, and that its long term effects in helping ironically, partly by the passage of the fugitive slave law that radicalized northern whites who couldn't care less about slaves and slavery in the south, but they hated the idea of their own rights being taken away by being requested to collaborate with slave hunters in the north. if you believe the compromise was ultimately balanced and a good and necessary thing, fillmore's support therefore was wise. his record after that is doubtful. in 1864 he supported mcclellan. what happened between 1850 and 1861, quick tour. bleeding kansas, kansas-nebraska bill, steven a. doug los, the political compromise of the bill, and it's brilliant. if you want to know why steven a. douglas was known for his political brilliance, read about him in 1850. that's when he became the great steven a. douglas. now, he was forever in slow and rapid after wards because he in effect by promoting t

there are some parameters that are inescapable when you talk about fillmore and jackson. a city street like jackson can accommodate maybe 15 cars, 16 cars, one after another, in an entire block. if you go beyond that you are affecting the next intersection and the next block and so on. it's a grid. and practically every street in the grid has a bus line of some sort or another. there's limited capacity. there's only so much you can do on surface transit, you know. we are not, this is a town that has a controversial relationship with density but density is indispensable if we want to increase the tax base or build subways or things that are more expensive than just running bus service. here is an opportunity to bring in the private sector in a way that is environmentally responsible and to do exactly the things that commissioner farrell was mentioning before, it allow people who actually want to live here to live here and work wherever they have to work and not be on the road on city streets and on the freeway in their own cars. and so the real struggle is how to reach som

in this vacuum in japan town, there was the fillmore district with african americans and a variety of other people and they moved into the community. and then japanese americans get out of camp and they come back to their neighborhood that has been populated and made into a different life and different world and what happens when those two communities overlap and intersect? whose place is it, whose home is it? who is an american? how do we sort of coexist in this post war period where the people from that community are by and large marginalized, yet you have this whole kind of other thing happening where it's -- the war has been won, this is like new things, television is happening, advertising, this whole advertising thing is happening. so you have these marginalized peoples and what happens, is it possible to develop a kind of at that moment a cross-cultural community? is it possible to have kind of a multi cultural community that emerged from that moment? and so, in particular, that's what i wanted to explore. and part of the back drop is there was this extraordinary jazz scene hap

officers chased of fillmore, kevin i sent and sergeant mary gray responded to the scene as back of units. elderly male victim told responded officers that his son had stabbed him, and that he was somewhere inside of the house at 636 funston avenue. he said his son was suffering from mental issues. officers quickly determined there were other family members inside the house with the suspect. officers knew there could be for their victims of they did not act immediately. officer fillmore and sergeant grey enter the residence and started walking up the stairs while announcing san francisco police department. officers could see the carpeted stairs and walls inside the house were covered in blood. at the top of the stairs was always there ran perpendicular to the stairs. there was still no signs of the suspect or family members. officers made the decision they would have to clear the upstairs room by room. officer i. singh and hernandez went to the right. -- esein. as officer carrasco and heppler went left and saw a body lying prone at the end of the hallway. they saw the body was drenched in

, at other locations and why the system is designed with locations to switch back at fillmore, at presidio, at sixth avenue and that happens when necessary, no more than system, so i'm sorry in this case i think the grand jury didn't get get it. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public wish to comment? seeing none public comment is closed. >> [inaudible] >> i'm sorry. >> exactly what we was referring to we brought that up with the other systems about -- well, there are fewer passengeros the out bound than the in bound and every single one of them said they solved that ahead of time by scheduling so they make short runs in the center area where the city has lots of travelers and then they make other longer runs and they make fewer longer runs and short runs and announce it ahead of time and the promise to the passengers is met. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other members of the public wish to speak on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. supervisor chiu can we table item three? all right. next is item four and asked to respond to the findings and recommen

this includes the fillmore, western addition, cathedral hill, japan town, lower pacific heights, lower and upper hate, nopa and coal valley and the neighbors. i am running to serve a full term on the board of supervisors, representing district five because i have long worked to make local government work better for the needs of the neighborhood residents. all that you have to do is look at how i have spent my entire professional life. i have the most robust record of achievements in shaping local public policy of any candidate running for district five supervisor. my father was born in mexico and worked as a mechanic fixing the farm equipment in the central valley. some of my childhood memory ss watching laborers work for little or no compensation at a young age based on what i witnessed i developed a understanding of economic injustice. growing up in the 60s my life experience has shaped my activism and my desire to promote meaningful change for my community. in 1982 i moved to the bay area and began taking classes at san francisco state university. eventually i finished at the califo

item five case amendments to the planning code to establish the fillmore street neighborhood commerical district and proposed for continuous. and commissioners, the first item on your kltd consent calendar, the first two actually for south venice avenue and propose for continuous and item number seven case for 601 venice proposed for continuous. i will ask you to take action on all of those items but bear with me. there are more items for continuous but these are the regular calendar and i will ask that you delay action on these until the call of the item. with that said the first item 13 for westportal avenue. there is a proposal to continue this item to avenue 29, 2012. it's my understanding that -- the project sponsor made the request but the neighborhood organization that is in support of the project is in support of that and staff is in support. next for 1865 post street and continuous to december 6, 2012. and item number 18 for 1856 pacific avenue proposed for continuous to december 6, 2012. commissioners, with that i am not aware -- we might have a short hearing -- that any other

this was the second year for the event held at the fillmore center plaza.long with free musical performances during the day, kids had a chance to participate in a variety of activities well adults could sample authentic jamaican cuisine and shop. >>> once the clouds cleared, there was a beautiful sky today. that will be changing. we turn this over to mark tamayo. >> get ready for cooler temperatures. and eventually, get the umbrella. right now, we have mostly clear skies and a few cloudy conditions out there. we will show you this on the storm tracker. some of the clouds out there and temperatures in the 50s and 60s. napa is at 60 degrees. as far as temperatures from this afternoon, most areas cooled off a bit. 60 degrees. warmest locations were in the mid to upper-70s toward antioch and fairfield. san jose one of the cooler spots at only 66 degrees. tonight, we will thicken up cloud cover. tomorrow, more clouds. mostly cloudy for sunday. rain returns and temperatures will be cooler. some of the numbers back to the upper-30s. napa is around 39 degrees. sant

bringing back this redevelopment agency with its legacy of driving african americans out of the fillmorend they had slated more than half the bay area for redevelopment before they were shut down. >> anything you'd like to add, peter? >> there's a number of assertions from my opponent that are based in a misunderstanding how affordable housing works in san francisco in this particular measure. unfortunately there's not enough time to tackle all of them, but i want to make clear this is not subsidizing middle income home owners. this is going to go primarily for low and very low householders in san francisco. that has always been the programmatic focus because you can leverage funding. we live in a high income market and that is exactly why we have an affordable sector in this city. when it comes it recreating redevelopment, that's a fallacy. it's about recognizing that redevelopment allowed a certain portion of money to be used for redevelopment. it's not about recreating redevelopment, in fact that's a closed chapter in history. lastly the idea we are reducing the mixed income housing i
