i have been a resident of non- hill -- nob hill since 1972. i have lived within a block of the vermont for the last 20 years. we can all agree that the knob hill hotels have experienced that loud sucking sound as guests have increasingly elected to say in south of market hotels. the proposed project addresses these economic realities and helps keep the fairmont and other hotels on nob hill bible. other hotels win with less competition as the fairmont reduces the number of rooms. residents benefit and wind up with more good restaurants to go to. let us be honest. the current fairmont power will never win any architectural beauty awards. in my opinion, this is a very desirable project for nob hill and send francisco. i encourage the approval of the project while using this process to mitigate to the degree possible the issues being raised. thank you. president miguel: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is callahan frisco. i am here speaking in support of the fairmont project. i was raised across the street at 1000 mason, which with family own

re tom hill, at one time second street ended at howard. at that point, there was a large hill. the wealthy people of san francisco lived on top of the hill, and churches were built along howard. then the city fathers in the 1920's let us knock down the hill, let us extend second street, and it finishes at the ballpark now. as you move south along second, that whole area, you get into rock. many of these old warehouse buildings, as you approach rincon hill, are sitting on rock. if you go down to king street, which is the street that fronts the ballpark, if you cross the street from the ballpark and the look on the sidewalk, there is actually a little brass plates that depict the location of the bluff that existed, the transition from the beach to the vertical cliffs that existed at second street. at second and king. all of that was taken down, and they have built warehouses. now at his condominium developments. and portions of mission bay. the first building of mission bay, third and townsend -- i am sorry, third and king, it is a rock site. if you go further into mission bay, i

i live nearby on knobb hill. both of the groups that i am a member of have been working really hard to make the sidewalks of san francisco more pedestrian friendly. one of the ways to do that is to put more eyes on the street, more pedestrians. and one of the tips and tricks of doing that is to ensure that identical businesses are at least two blocks apart. if you look at the saturation of liquor stores, nobody has to walk even one block to get their liquor. so for that reason i would like to oppose the addition of another liquor store at that location. the bargain bank was mentioned. when it started out, it was a good addition for-to-the neighborhood, but it gradually added more and more and more liquor and all of a sudden, it was a liquor store. i don't remember there being any notice given to the neighborhood that the bank was going to turn into a liquor store. so we would have opposed the bargain bank, but we didn't know it was going to turn into a liquor store. thank you. president miguel: thank you. >> good

we are watching the red flag fire warning for the oakland hills and north bay hills as well because thingsre getting a bit dry. even if you don't live around this area but drive through this area, you can see that a lot of the hillsides are really dry and brown and that's because of the offshore winds that have been coming from the inland areas and sweeping across, drying things out that have already been dried through the summer. what you can tell from the foliage behind me is a lot of folks heed the warning to plant vegetation that is fire resistant. you can also see there is a bit of a breeze. that's not going to go away until friday, but the red flag warning does expire at daylight today, so we are watching that red flag warning but we know the fire danger will continue. the fear is that something like the fire that happened in san jose last week could happen here where a car stalled, started a fire and the fire ran up the hillside and ended up nearly destroying a radio tower for a local radio station. in 1991 the oakland hills firestorm, there was a $1.5 billion fire that cost 25 peop
