vice president garcia: mr.fy, the amount that is derived to assess the penalty, is that formulary? is that what it would cost for the permits for the two windows? >> well, the 1000 other value is the value of the permit. the penalty that was assessed was than nine times probably on the amount of work that the building inspector estimated, $1,000. that is a formula in the building formula. vice president garcia: i understand the nine times as formulary, but did dbi rely on -- to the appellate submit any papers that it showed that cost considerably less, would have cost, from their testimony, about what it would cost in order to replace those windows? their statement is it seems as though dbi was figuring this at a much higher price. >> whenever the permits are applied for, the applicant puts the estimated cost on. if the staff feels that is too low, they can raise it based on construction valuation. but that is usually a discussion between the plan checker and the person getting the permit. if there is a receipt

vice president garcia: mr. flanagan, am i over speaking your position that you say when this went to planning, planning did not give enough weight to the view that, in your opinion, it's obstructed by this pole and therefore they should not have signed off on this? or is there more to your argument that i am missing? it seems the issue you also raised had to do with the color of the box, and that is correctable. they could go out there and repaint that. you backed off the position they did not present simulation pictures and nextg has denied any submission had nothing to do with the approval that you raised. i am not trying to reduce your argument to something over the simplified, but i am asking you to correct my impression. >> no, that is the thrust of my argument, that the pictures they submitted in order for approval by the planning department were misleading. yes, that was a global picture taken of a dumpster a long time ago, -- that was a brutal picture taken of a dumpster a long time ago and would not gi

vice president garcia: please. commissioner hwang: my inclination is more along the lines of commissioner fung, because of all the work the department went through and the two notices of violation. i am inclined to uphold the department. commissioner fung: i move to overrule the department and reduce the penalty to five times. based on that the work partially is fairly minor, but the fact that multiple notice of violations were issued and the administrative effort to do those require some compensation. commissioner peterson: i wonder if i could not add that the appellant testified that he thought the matter was debated in 2007. -- that the matter was abated in 2007. >> so the motion, commissioner fung, is to grant the appeal and reduced to five times the permit fee, based on the fact that the matter was minor and the opponent of the matter was resolved, but the department had significant efforts to resolve it. >> on that motion to reduce to five times, on that basis, as read into the record. [roll-call vote] >the v

vice president garcia: thank you. commissioner hwang: i think some of the issues that you raised will be clarified by the department. >> oh, good. we can hear from the permit holder now. >> my name is bill. i am the architect. originally, my client was going to speak first, but i will. i am going to clarify this. when i start a project as an architect, especially considereh density building, it is an existing building. we were proposing remodeling to let, fairly extensive internal remodeling. the first thing i like to do, because the building codes are not always clear as regards to the intent to remodeled buildings, there really written for the intent -- sorry, for new buildings. the first thing that i did was to write a letter to the city. we came down. we spoke to both the department of building inspection and the san francisco fire department. what you are looking at was my pre application notes. in order to make sure -- for example, we had questions about the extent of the fire sprinklers, we had issues about the

vice president garcia: aye. commissioner hwang: aye. >> the boat is -- vote is 4-0. >> will move on to our last item, item nine, brett poffenbarger versus the zoning administrator, appealing a letter of determination dated march 30, 2011, regarding whether a news their penthouse and roof deck may be constructed and the permit height of a glass wind screen wall and skylights at the subject property. we'll start with the appellant or his agent. you have seven minutes. >> thank you. i would like to submit for the records and documentation from a reputation today. >> i'm sorry? vice president garcia: you have given this to the planning department? >> we continue talking to them. my name is steven stept, the architect for my clients, lesley and brett. this is a six story loft building converted in 1996. this is the building on at 650 2nd street. there is a dedicated space on the roof. the goal was simple for this project -- privacy, security, safety, and the benefit of access which has been permitted to other neighbo

vice president garcia: thank you. commissioner peterson: i was interested in the prior owner and the previous owner. some design. >> my understanding from their argument is that they believe what was changed is the amount of wall that has been demolished. they do not believe that the demolition is within the scope of what is allowed in the planning code, and we have followed -- the architect has followed a very vigorous calculation process, and it has gone back and forth, and the department will come back and say, "no, we think this should also be to undulated," so that accounts for the difference -- "we think this should also be calculated," so that accounts for the difference. even with that final calculation under the planning code, under section 317, it is within the 50%. commissioner peterson: thank you. commissioner hwang: on the demolition question which was raised by the appellant, how do you respond to the argument that the collapsed roof has, in effect, created further, in effect, i mean, the argument as i u

vice president garcia: rope ladder? >> i will hold my tongue, commissioner. >> commissioners, the matter is submitted. vice president garcia: did you want to offer more comment? please do. >> i'd just wanted to mention for one thing the coo in question for the building. for some reason, the building did pull all the permits for the work that has been done on the roof back in '95 and '96. that is on record. the work was done and inspected along the way. but for some reason when they built this building they did not get the final coo. my building is currently in the process of obtaining that, with all the inspections and everything. because of that, a whole bunch of the permits they pulled back in '95 appear as canceled. it is a huge mess for a building that we are slowly working out. the other thing is i can build an elevator but not a staircase, and that is crazy. it does not make sense. personally, i cannot afford to build an elevator. the other point is that you could say that our building is higher than the other bui

vice president garcia: aye. commissioner hwang: aye. >> the boat is -- vote is 4-0. >> there is no additional business this evening. vice president garcia: thank you. >> very good. perfect timing, mayor. [applause] >> actually, mayor, i was just at the part of the program where i was going to introduce. it is now my pleasure to introduce the honorable edwin lee, the honorable mayor of the city and county of san francisco? would you mind saying a few words? >> well, thank you. i guess my timing is still ok. everybody, thank you for being here. housing, and especially affordable housing, is such a challenge these days. with the economy the way it is, with the lack of help we get from the feds and the state, we have to do a lot on our own. that means we have to have the most creative people working in partnerships with the other committed creative people in our community. so it is no wonder you have got the union bank, wells fargo working together with the federal home loan bank. you've got the institute of aging w

vice president garcia: the actual numbers. commissioner peterson: yes, and how you came to 49.4. >> the numbers were in part provided on the application, both leading what was written on the application by the architect and having our staff take a scale and do the math -- both looking at what was written on the application by the architect and having our staff take a scale and do the math. commissioner peterson: if they want to recalculate it, they would go back to the code and recalculate it, but have you gone through the process, where has that been asked of you? >> it has not -- or, has that been asked of you? >> it has not. commissioner peterson: conflict, i thought that is what this was about. >> i do not believe that anyone is alleging that the actual numbers exceed 50%. yet my understanding, and i would defer to the appellant is my understanding is correct, that would be a demolition. commissioner peterson: ok, i see. on rebuttal. commissioner fung: i already asked my, yes. -- ask my, yes. -- asked mine, yes. director g

vice president garcia: would neighbors be noticed? >> i do not know what exactly the notice from ddi -- dbi would be at issuance for this type of permit. vice president garcia: i hate to ask the permit holder. it is like asking tobacco companies its cigarettes are dangerous. do you know if there is any neighborhood opposition? i know your answer will be of course not. >> i do not know. we prepared the neighborhood map. we are prepared to do a 311. >> i think an option available to the board would be to uphold the denial but make findings is only on the basis that section 311 notice has not been done, and make clear the permit holder is authorized. the one-year bar does not apply. he can apply tomorrow for the permit. if we were to issue this permit now, it would not become compliant. commissioner hwang: it is not ok given that the idea is to clear it up and clean it up. let us do it right. >> if i apply for another permit, do i have to pay all the permit fees again? [laughter] >> would planning have discretion to waive the fees in the

vice president garcia: thank you. commissioner fung: the basis for the original agreement with the owner and your client, so your client did not do that -- i believe it was a sight permit. whether it was or not does not matter. has it remained the same through the site permit? because you have not mentioned that in your brief or in your oral presentation that that is an issue. >> that is correct. we are not contesting the design of the building. clearly, how far back it is from my client's building, the highest, that type of thing, some things we do not understand -- the height, that type of stain. that is the only thing we have identified that is different. president goh: -- director goldstein: thank you. miss? >> thank you. i would like to make a correction in my brief. the date should have been submitted on january 4, 2011, not january 20, 2010, and the application number should be -- i need to quit using the copy function on my computer. basically, this case is really very simple. there has been 3 permits that hav

i'm going to -- commissioner garcia: miss li? commissioner fung: i asked the appellant whether they had done any form of approaching community boards where neighbors can discuss things and see if they can find some common basis to have a neighborly relationship. would that be of interest to you? to see if there is an ability to reduce complaints and lived to get there? -- and live together? perhaps your daughter can translate that. >> no. nobody called me. commissioner fung: would you consider that? volunteers service that in the city. >> it's a good idea, but let them come to me and let me do the stairway. commissioner fung: the stairway is the issue before us. the community boards thing is voluntary by the parties themselves. >> i think that for today's case, we would like to let us do the stairway thing and in the future, she would like to go to the -- commissioner fung: community boards. ok. thank you. president goh: i was going to give you another minute if you have any for one -- a need for one. if you'd like. >> i would li

commissioner garcia: thank you. president goh: i just have a follow-up question for something that you stated. it sounds like you have heard from other people that there is a possibility that she had keys to another unit in the same building. let me ask my question. if -- would it have been offered to use another unit in the building pending the reconstruction or fix in the bathroom? >> i don't have access to other units. i am the manager, but since we took over the building, her boyfriend refused to provide us with keys. if it was a solution, we would have taken it immediately. >> mr. duffy. >> grieving, commissioners. it is basically battery model, as you can see. it is usually an over-the- counter permit. >> can you put that on the overhead? the actual permit? >> if you look in the file we provided, it would not be there. how you would have to have brought it yourself. >> this is just a print out of the permit details report. we don't have the actual building permits. i have not got it with me. this gives the inf

commissioner garcia: we thank you for doing that. president goh: i will make the motion. >> to grant the appeal on the condition that all work to be struck except for the remodeling of the bathroom in unit 340 and the work under violation. and the permit holder not be barred to reapply for this work. >> on that motion from the president. commissioner fung: aye. commissioner garcia: aye. president goh: aye. -- commissioner peterson: aye. commissioner hwang: aye. >> is the public the modified soho -- uphelit is upheld with e modified scope. >> we will call item six now. this is a protest of the issuance on may 23, 2011 to cui zhu li, permit to alter a building. and we will start with the appellant. >> i am here for the appellant. we understand that it is not the role of the board to be the arbiters of good neighbor behavior. we're not here to impose this person on you tonight. the building code does exist to establish requirements necessary to protect general welfare of the general public and it is this role that we ask you to consider

commissioner garcia: would you -- forgive me. i don't know that i would be using the word reasonable of five offered one day notice and port-a-potty. what would be a reasonable arrangement or accommodation while the work is being done? >> i don't know. she hasn't paid rent, so she has $3,000 with which to go to a motel. i don't know the answer. i can tell you that allowing the contractor in to remove her shower and then stopping work for months doesn't make any sense to me. i think it is reflective of the attitude i got from her attorney with regard to trying to find an accommodation that would work. i don't have any ideas, but i am open. commissioner garcia: what would you want done if you lived in that unit? what accommodation or arrangement would you ask for if you were the tenth? >> i would ask to be not required to pay rent. i would ask that shower facilities be made available to me, and i would ask that i will be able to use a restaurant. -- the rest room. i am probably not as sensitive to the environment that she might be.

vice president garcia: is a greater than 50%? i am asking you to speculate. >> there are bearing threshold's that depend on the replacement of the structure compared with the upgrades. vice president garcia: speculating, would you state whether this building would normally be allowed to be demolished if it had no landmark status? >> i do not have enough information to speculate on that, unfortunately. vice president garcia: thank you. commissioner hwang: is landmark status in question at all? >> no, it is clearly a landmark. commissioner hwang:. president goh: commissioners, any more questions? i think we are in deliberations now. vice president garcia: i guess i will go. i think my feelings are well known on this. the reason i asked that question, i know it has landmark status, but it seems as though landmark status is purely a function of the landmark status of the building in front. it has an unknown origin. many of the original features out have been destroyed. and were something to happen to the front building, then we would

superintendent garcia is out of town and unable to make the meeting tonight. he has asked me to share the following thoughts with all of you. regarding the 20112012 budget, the board will be taking action tonight on the budget for the 2011-2012 school year recommended budget. we may be close to having a state budget. all school districts must submit a three-year budget to the state by july 1. the one we are recommending is based on the governor's proposed budget. our recommendation is that we schedule a meeting of the full board after the meeting to discuss any differences between the proposed budget and the final state budget and consider any changes on board prior to is. this is our last meeting of the school year. as this is our last meeting of the school year, i would like to think the board, students, parents, and community members, and faculty, staff, and administrators for a productive school year. working together and keeping our focus on students, we have made progress this year. just to name a few of the accomplishments this year, if i could list the
