vice president garcia: thank you. president goh: thank you. >> thank you. >> once again, we as developers have to build a building that works. we have to build a floor plate that people, tenants in this marketplace, would want to rent. if we were to go higher, nothing about the core of that building is going to change. so as you go up and the building floor plate gets smaller, there is not enough feet on those forced to be attractive to any tenant at all. that is why the building is designed the way it is and carefully designed. let me address the bulk exceptions for a moment. et there was a planning department sheet that shows exceptions that have been granted and this shows buildings get both exceptions, which really does not say that much about our building. and this goes up, by the way. that number gets to be a higher percentage. virtually every high-rise building in san francisco has gotten a bulk exception. there have been 15 code changes. for very good reasons. thank you. director goldstein: just a couple of po

vice president garcia: to the minimum. and i would say my reasons, how i feel about a reduction, and where we proceed from that would be up to the president. but i watched the streaming video, and i also read the papers. i guess my comment would be that i think it was mr. sanchez had made some comment about the fact that appeared to him, or maybe he had some other evidence beyond the fact that appeared to him, that a business decision was made, and the decision was that the operators of ike's had decided maybe it would be better off paying the fine and continuing to operate. there seemed to be a little lack of some sort of cooperation, and my interpretation of it was that the seriousness of this and working as well as they could with the department. but the other side of that, according to the papers, 20-40 people worked at this operation. there is ongoing concern for them. at one time, the ultimate landlord had agreed the process to go forward, then changed his mind. my feeling was that to shut down at a viable business u

vice president garcia: thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, sir, you have three minutes of rebuttal if you have anything more to say. did you have more to setno? ? ok. dr. ocho, i assume you have nothing more? ok. then, commissioners, the matter is before you. commissioner hwang: my inclination is to uphold the department, especially in light of the fact the school is across the street. it is not relevant to me whether or not the person who sold the cigarettes, a true statement or not, was not an employee at the time. president goh: i would agree with that. >> i know it is lean times and perhaps join the staff and to full capacity, but such close proximity to the school, i would uphold the department as well. president goh: is there a motion? vice president garcia: just for the record, i would have chosen if it were up to me if the gentlemen who operate the store was actually going to close three weeks, that would be 21 days. i would think that would be reasonable, give him the four day

vice president garcia: i understand that. i am just remember a case that came before us, where it was an immigrant, asian i believe, who had an elderly parent with vision problems and the absence of the actual owner and operator of the store sold tobacco to a minor. i think that dph on its own thatmete out the penalties that it normally would. so the assumption would be there must be times when the consider mitigating factors. >> sure, yes. another example would be an individual, the gentleman came in a wheelchair, elderly person who is hard of hearing. he could not stand up from the wheelchair. his wife took a break at the time. the officers were there. we knew for sure, deep in all of our hearts, there's person -- this person did not have the capability of checking the identities of the person purchasing the cigarettes. at that time, the department did reduced the amount. vice president garcia: thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, sir, you have three minutes of rebuttal if you have anything m

vice president garcia: why can't it be brought in more so that it does not require an exception? the simple answer is you would lose rentable space. >> that is the simple answer. it would be un-rentable. vice president garcia: it would render it not feasible to do the building at all. >> tenants require certain bay depths in order to have offices. those are well understood by marketing people. we would not be able to produce a building design floor plan that would work. it is not just a matter of producing numbers. it is a matter of creating a plan for a building that nobody would want to be in. that is the problem. president goh: the air exhaust and input had to do with that mechanical structure having three sides so that the louvers on the sides -- there was coming in on the sides. >> i am glad you asked the question. we would prefer to exhaust air north and south. president goh: it is downstairs. if they hear the word overhead, they put it up. you can point. >> with a little bit of protrusion, we can exhaust air north and south and not into 50 beale street. what they are askin

>> vice president garcia, were you about to say something? commissioner garcia: i wish the department would do an analysis of how this works out in dollar figures for an individual operator, and let's take an assumption that all the figures are exactly correct your year of 30 days was decided -- are exactly correct. 30 days was decided. that might seem reasonable to some people, of the fact that it is the first offense, and we can all assume they did not just kesse and the first time they sold cigarettes, but we should assume that. they said they have never done it iaside from this time, and then you compare the find is someone who sells liquor to a minor region -- compare the fine to someone who sells liquor to a minor. my memory is it is something like $100, so we are saying -- maybe some people feel like this, that tobacco -- the sale of tobacco, which does not require the same kind of licensing that liquor dose, so we have to say that our government is wrong to require all the things we do for a liquor license because when it comes time t

vice president garcia: it is. commissioner hwang: along the lines of president goh's question on staffing, is one of the reasons you are here out of concern that you're diminishing staff would have to -- your diminishing staff would have to be more watchful in monitoring what is going on,? should be a pill be denied,-- the appeal be denied, would you monitor closely? >> we monitor all new businesses that opened. we do not want any blight. it does not matter if it is a barbecue. the same thing. we monitor all businesses. small business, we want to thrive in that area. commissioner hwang: do you have to conserves in this area? -- different concerns in this area? >> it does not matter if it is a liquor store or a day care. there are a lot of service providers on that block. there are the people in the self-help center. commissioner hwang: i think you. -- thank you. >> thank you. >> you can start your rebuttal now, mr. waggoner. you have three minutes. >> just a few points. one is earlier some of the commissioners tou

vice president garcia: grant the appeal and reduced the penalty to 20 days. >> ok, thank you. if we could call that motion, please? >> on that motion from the vice president to grant this appeal and reduced the 25-day suspension to 20 days. on that motion -- [roll-call vote] thank you. the vote is 3-2. four votes are needed to modify any department all action. so the 25-day suspension would be upheld. >> should i call the next item? president goh: yes. >> appeal number 6, appeal number 10-26, richard rabbitt vs. the department of public works. protesting the issuance on october 29, 2010 to the university of san francisco minor sidewalk encroachment permit, a chain fence and retaining wall encroaching 6 feet onto the sidewalk right of way for a distance of 389 feet. it public hearing was held on january 19, 2011, and for further consideration today. on january 9, 2011, the matter was continued to allow for the p.w. to submit additional information pursuant to the board's comments. on march 23, 2011, the matter was continued further to allow time for the permit holder, usf, to p

vice president garcia: new permits? >> no, no, i was referring to the 2009 permit, during the jurisdiction of appeal. they have two permits. they will submit a new, revised floor plan instead of these two. vice president garcia: okay, i think i understand, thank you. >> to be clear, commissioners, the two permits that were cancelled were revision permits to the permit that is subject to the jurisdiction request. that is the 2009 permit, the appeal that was canceled was for 2010 revision permits. what you have before you are the original 2009 permits. >> i believe we just heard her state they're interested in withdrawing those. could we ask the permit holder to confirm that, please? president goh: i think mr. duffy had earlier said it -- well, they can revoke, but if they are withdrawing, we don't have to look at the jurisdiction request. are you withdrawing the permit at issue today? >> yes, 2009 year? what year, please? president goh: 2009. >> not withdrawn. president goh: okay, thank you. >> only revisions. president

vice president garcia: what relief are you seeking? >> i do not think there should be allowed to be issued that is based on fraud, and this is clearly fraud, and he has fraudulently represented -- protesting other permits, and he has done the very same thing. vice president garcia: just stick to what is before us. >> this is a matter, and i mean bringing it to attention. vice president garcia: thank you. president goh: >> before you start the seven minutes, i am sorry. basically, i want to talk to the attorney. if somebody comes in and says you are not best person, what is this? is this defamation or slandered? i am on national tv here apparently. i did not know this was closed captioned. people are out there watching. people accuse me of being somebody else. my name came in. is that public information, the name of this appellant? >> are you talking about the early case. >> we should stick to this case we are talking about. >> r m a pilot. i am not a contractor, engineer, a real-estate broker. we are talking about a 580 sq. ft. studio.

superintendent garcia. superintendent garcia: thank you, good evening. it seems ironic with all the activity and we want to salute and give a shout out to all of our employees who went to sacramento to stand up for children and i think we really want to recognize their endeavors to go there because that's a lot to do and they're fighting a good fight and it seems ironic that while we're making these cuts and talking about these horrible things throughout the state that tomorrow, may 11, we celebrate both california day of the teacher and national school nurse day. i've always said that in education, the most important thing in education are the people actually out there doing the work so we wanted to take a moment to thank everybody and hopefully to have a special day tomorrow in spite of all the things that seem to be coming at us in this crazy state of ours. the budget crisis and the layoffs, as we honor, it's weird that we are honoring the teachers and nurses and yet here we are talking about layoffs. four years ago, stanford university released a stu

good morning, i'm laura garcia-cannon. if you live in palo alto, you probably know the city got its name from redwood trees called palo alto. it's home to big names including hughlet packard, facebook and stanford university is around the corner from where i am now. bob redell paid a visit to stanford's robot lab. what did you find out? >> reporter: technology is advancing and robots are popping up more and more, in some cases, in our homes. what are the legal consequences of that? a lawyer at stanford is pondering that question. one day in the future, when a robot goes crazy, destroys your property, comes after you, we know what you are thinking. >> where can i find a good lawyer? >> reporter: who should be held liable for a run away robot? the user or manufacturer? this lawyer believes the future of the robotics industry is based on that question. >> do you think you are going to make one if they are responsible for everything that goes wrong? >> reporter: he's urging america's legal system on how to protect consumer rig

vice president garcia: would you address the issue brought up by mr. wagoner having to do with the discrepancy in the dollar figures, the $40,000 and the $106,000, and the mysterious $166,000? >> i do not know what happened. the contractor probably put in $40,000 and it means there was a change order. but i do not think that exhibited bad faith. i will address what mr. wagoner says about the bad faith. just because you have a contract on april 16, he assumes that as soon as the contractor signs the contract that he has to start work. he says, "how could he have done nothing until may 24?" it is very usual for people to enter into contracts and then wait six weeks until they get the permit to start work. that is not a discrepancy. there is nothing bad faith about that. it does not mean that as soon as he signed a contract you have to start work. >> nor does it answer the $66,000 question. >> i do not have any idea how the contractor put $40,000.100 dozen dollars on the contract. i do not know the answer. >> maybe dbi will offer up something. commissione

we thought what a great thing it would be to have an ampitheater named after jerry garcia. that is a name that has panache. it brings people from all over the bay area to the ampitheater. the calls that come in, we'd like to do a concert at the jerry garcia ampitheater and we do everything we can to accommodate them and help them because it gets people into the park. people like a lot of color and that's what they call a park. other people don't. you have to try to reconcile all those different points of view. what should a park look like and what should it have? should it be manicured, should it be nice little cobblestones around all of the paths and like that. the biggest objective of course is getting people into the park to appreciate open space. whatever that's going to take to make them happy, to get them there, that's the main goal. if it takes a planter with flowers and stuff like that, fine. you know, so what? people need to get away from that urban rush and noise and this is a perfect place to do it. feedback is always amazement. they don't believe that it's in sa
