liberty hill historic district. i live at 325 st. carlos then. we wanted to say -- >> you can't hold the microphone. >> just like that and it works. again, technically challenged. this is almost a fully in tact segment of very old pre1906 san francisco, we knew it was fragile and vulnerable because demolitions had started and we wanted to slow this whole thing down, and also when you take on one of these old houses, it's a very serious challenge because of the age of the house, even window blast becomes fr*ifl and shadows, all the piping has to be renewed, the piping, all the electric has to be renewed and it has to be made more seismic in spite of the fact that these buildings survived 1906, we have new codes and it is advisable. so, it's a very serious undertaking, you have to build the house from the inside out, at last we see, and you can see the street gates are two low, usually they were over a basement many of which have been converted to garage spacing, here we are, this is again hill street, change. >> i'm

number 8 hill street right next door to the requesters property has 9 units, number 12 hill street on the other side of her property has 7 units, and in their backyard over there, they have 12 units on 21st street. there's 13 units, that's one unit more than we're putting in on the corner of hill and gorero, so the dr request is full of misstatements and down-right specious allegations and objections and i hope you have a chance to read it. thank you. >> is there any speakers in support of the project sponsor? >> good evening, commissioners, my name is kimberly con l*i , we are few and far between in support of this, just here in person today, but i felt it was important to come because there is quite a bit of support for this development in the neighborhood. as a young professional who originally moved to the mission because it is transit-rich, i feel i was discouraged at the time, at the lack of small apartments and places to live. i think that the representation here today with all due respect to my neighbors is mostly from people who have live ined the neighborhood for a very long

russian hill came from a prior notes, which was rejected. mr. pilpel: ok. >> for district 3, that is the publicly-submitted boundary for the russian hill community association, not for the russian hill neighborhood as a whole. >> so the task force is aware, there is a conservative approach, which would be only listing those neighborhoods where you have a specific public map where it matches the department of elections. there is a less conservative approach, which is if you're confident you have public testimony to tell you that central richmond is the neighborhood, you can list it. i wanted to have that out there. mr. mcdonnell: ok. we will go back to the consultants one more time so we can appreciate what we're looking at. what exactly are we looking at? >> when i compiled this list of neighborhoods, i looked at each district and looked through the list of publicly submitted neighborhood boundaries. i also looked at the planning neighborhood boundaries, and also looked at the department of elections boundaries. in any case where any of these ne

hill, not hill, and parts of fisherman's wharf. for car has the embarcadero and north beach. the central district is a truly a center of business, commerce, and tourism. we are home to 20,000 hotel rooms in our district and have 24 schools and 24 parks and or playgrounds in the district. this is in a very small geographical area. we average 5500 calls per service per month. we cover union square, chinatown, the financial district, north beach, russian hill, telegraph hill, the embarcadero and fisherman's wharf. our main supervisor is supervisor david chiu and supervisor marc farrell has a pocket and supervisor james kim has a pocket along geary street. the population is about 75,000 residents in a 1.8 square mile area. on any given day, the population swells to about 350,000 people because of all the people coming to work in the financial district. the demographics in the central district -- female is about 50%, males 49.8%. it's almost even. age 17 and under is 17.56% which equates to about 5300 people under 17. our senior population is twice that much or approximately 11,50

with and incompatible with the two and three storey residences on hill street. policy 314, even at three storeys tall, this building would be taller than its neighbors on valencia street and of course hill street, as most of the buildings are historically significant, they will not be changing, a building will be permanently out of place, there may be taller buildings two blocks away but that is not relevant, this is a five storey build hating will tower. policy 316, this building fails to respect the hiekt, mass or design of the many exemplary historic buildings around it and finally there is an entire chapter in the missionary plan about historic preservation, this building is -- this project is surrounded by historic building all of which have been built ot the same time and coordinated with each other, it should enhance the community character. thank you. >> thank you. >> may i be the first to wish you a good evening, commissioners, my name is leonard fisher, i've lived on hill street for over 30 yearsfinger i like the neighborhood when i moved in, i like th

street, i think his response to hill street has to be really more reflecting of the general character of that street. that doesn't mean it has to mimic the adjoining height or it needs to make a gesture. i would like to remind this commission on the discussion and the long battle we had when we discussed the change from pottery barn at the corner of poke and pacific and while we acknowledged the inherent height and zoning on the corner, we did require that it meet and make down to the adjoining properties and that didn't mean it had to exactly mimic the hiekt but it had to make a gesture and i think that is one of the biggest challenges that we do as massive an overlay of rezoning in the eastern neighborhoods as we do here where we have large prevailing strong neighborhoods and i'm looking for referencing -- i'm talking about the existing basic structure of the area and we don't have any rules which require an adjustment. i find at this moment the bay window response, one way of creating scale as to whether or not it's fully worked out, i would say no. and i'm referring to this partic
