>it would be obligations of the horizontal developer who and subsequent to individual buildings. starting back in 2005 with the department of the environment and various stakeholders to come up with those tax, we recently made the decision to move away from an island, a specific set of guidelines. and the project's approach has been recognized both nationally and internationally. have a program called the climate positive development program. the governor both recognized the project for its leadership and urban design. this is the analysis on the certification on behalf of ticd showing the different categories of points. you can get there. some will be up to code. briefly, i think the changes in regulations and the technology as well as some of the project planning and due diligence, standards have changed at both the local and state level as was the policy. an action plan to get all commercial buildings and eventually residential buildings to net zero energy. we hope to get their through the life of the project. the ieeir includes variants that would help us to get towards those

the horizontal drilling, the change in the horizontal drilling techniques that we're talking about is the ability to go down very deep into the earth's crust. we're talking at this formation, the marcellus shale is about 6,000 to 8,000 feet below the surface. and what happens is they drill from the surface down to that formation and then what they are able to do is to -- and i've seen this with my own eyes and i'm sure my colleague from pennsylvania has seen it also, they're able to turn that drilling bit, to turn the drill horizontally so they go down vertically and then as they get fought point where the formation is located and where the natural gas has been identified and the marcellus shale formation and the natural gas supply we are talking about and they turn that drill bit and go out horizontally. they go out thousands of feet and they go out and drill and open up that formation, that shale formation to potential development for natural gas recovery. and after they turn that drill bit and they take that horizontal turn they go out and then they engage in the process which is c

then as we to to sutter street on the horizontal dimension, first from the property line we set back the building 10 feet and then responding to the buildings across the street we have a 50-foot width and a 50-foot width of larger buildings. we break our building down into a 43, 10-foot width and then a 30-foot width and with this we step down coming down the block to relate to the topography of the street. with the first setback, we come back 13 foot 10, then on the setback from the rear yard we come back 15 feet nine. then with the, on the materials of the building, basically once again we have a tile water course in the bottom with plaster above and then we have aluminum panels that kind of he chloe the middle part of the building, then we have a protected canopy at the top. then for the community center with the ground floor we have windows at the street level and then windows at the rear yard, trying to pull views through the building and to the street level. and then up above, we have a channel glass system which i've brought here and i can circulate that with you in a minute.

rlt taken from the building across the street here which is stronger horizontal, broken up by vertical windows. as we come down the block the massing decreases just as it does across the street is. with this composition we have the entry in the center is, the mid part of the building and that has a vertical expression that allows us to transition to the community center. and then with this we have a base, a middle, a top that is predominant in the neighborhood. with this base, middle, and top on the ground floor we have tile, pretty much a water course design detail at the base with plaster above. we have aluminum windows, painted aluminum windows, but with this base we actually activate the street with uses of, first the manager's office and the residential commons which you see on the other side of the street, which is pretty much a standard pattern in the neighborhood where you have large swaths of parking garages. then as we to to sutter street on the horizontal dimension, first from the property line we set back the building 10 feet and then responding to the buildings across the

basically makes a vertical and horizontal line. you want to look for these things when you look at a building. and it's not always obvious . if you look at this building, this one was an example of the racking we talked about. see how these studs are starting to fold on each other? if this whole thing fell over, the studs would be connected to each other. this is an example of the racking. obvious example of racking here; right? if you walk into this building, you are going to say this is heavily damaged. easy. large cracks. again, you want to look around the doors and the foundation. here right at the doors because, remember, the soft structure is the bottom structure. that's going to move the most. then right around the doors are structural members of the house. that's where you are going to find a lot of the damage. this one -- but look at all the doorways again. this building, again, here in the marina. somebody wrote something on there. if you look really close it says, search. somebody wrote that there because maybe they thou

what's changed the state of play has been the advent of horizontal drilling. if you fly into dallas-fort worth airplane, you will be met with scenes of active drilling going on there thanks to the directional drilling that is capable from a single platform going out a mile or more into some of these shale formations. i'd glad to have the opportunity to share the perspective of my state on that practice, which i'd proud to say we help department and which is essential to the development of three shale plays in our state, the barnett around fort fort wo. i want to focus on three points, texas has app bountiful supply of natural gas. it has implications for job creation, economy, and national security. it -- states are effectively regulating hydraulic fracturing already. federal regulation bit epa would inevitably lead to cumulative regulation, bureaucratic delays, and reduce the production of the resource. in texas, the oil and gas industry provides more than 1.7 million jobs and accounts for 25% of our state's economy. over 11,000 wells have been completed in t

the project is a vertical and horizontal addition, remove illegal unit and ground floor, and full bath and exercise room at groundball, interior remodel, new roof deck at second floor, at new third floor. public hearing was held on march 9, 2011, and the matter was continued to allow time for the parties to discuss settlement. commissioners, would you like to ask the parties if they have reached a settlement? how would you like to proceed? president goh: i would like to hear from the parties. are they here? ok. >> how about a yes or no response? have you reached a settlement? >> no. my name is james o'neill. >> we held the hearing and closed the hearing. i am going to allow two minutes to tell us about the settlement negotiations. >> that was the request for's agent? >> yes. >> during the settlement negotiations -- >> could you speak into the microphone, sir? >> during the settlement negotiations, the project sponsors offered to build a box on the second floor deck. what it would essentially do is come in 36 inches from the deck side that shares the wall with my client. they have offer

the building permit application proposed to construct a roof deck and a three-story horizontal addition at the rear of a single-family dwelling. it's also in the delores heights special use district. and commissioners, the only reason i read that through is because i really want to emphasize that this item is before you for clarification. the d.r. case it not before you. it cannot be addressed at this time. it was not noticed for a d.r. hearing. the only thing before you is clarification of the motion made at that hearing. >> good afternoon, president olague. michael smith. planning department staff. you have before you 3987 20th street. i'm sorry that we're here today, but if you refer to the overhead, i'll try to clarify the area of dispute. the motion that was written after the february hearing reflects -- is reflected in this plan, which shows a notch right here, a three by eight notch, approximately. the neighbors or the d.r. requesters received that action memo and it was our understanding that it was to encompass this area highlighted in yellow as well. i have since met with the

>> once we got up there, there was metal and lath and once we got up there, we were able to do horizontal work and put the fire out. >> there was so much smoke, i ran back in and i tried to get my cats but the smoke was too thick. >> reporter: too thick which the firefighters brought to her -- >> the firefighters didn't find them. they wouldn't find them. ed red cross found them -- the red cross found them. >> reporter: inside that fourth floor apartment where the american red cross kept on the spotlight where they searched for the animals. 2 residents suffered from smoke inhalation and went to the hospital. 63 residents are displaced. a few of them boarded a bus bound for nearby hotels. 6 other residents were taken to a hospital to handle their special needs. fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire. for now, the franciscan towers are yellow tagged. residents are being allowed inside to grab their things but they are not allowed to stay overnight. >>> police in lakewood, colorado are defending their use of pepper spray on an 8- year-old boy. it happened in f

key people that made the mission bay project with a strong, local experience that understand the horizontal development, putting in those roads, parks, and infrastructure. they really knew how to do that here, they were doing it just up the road, proposing a master development construct that was purchased earlier this year, one late last year, at a substantial price, showing that the value of having the entitlements in place brings value to the land. the third respondent was the waterfront partners. fairly familiar to this commission, looking at the washington progress -- project, as mentioned in the executive director's report, strong historic preservation and port of san francisco experience. they had very exciting design concept. project was a partnership between tmg and the sobato group. by other of these developers have the capacity to take on this project and it is very exciting to see them come forward and to be interested. they have a strong tie to the technology sector. bases silicon valley technology energy moving north -- see silicon valley technology moving north and they think

approvals that are horizontal could go forward. yet to be let out. vertical ones might have more of a problem being done. is that what your saying? >> yes. >> one was to eliminate three development and the property tax as to eliminating redevelopment. what is the slide in redeveloping property tax? >> under the gov.'s plan, he wants to read direct. he thinks that abolishing redevelopment frees up about $1.7 billion. what he wants to do is to redirect that $1.7 billion in this fiscal year to pay for this. trial courts and the metical -- medical are not the kinds of things that you pay for it with property tax dollars. he needs a two-thirds approval to eliminate redevelopment and redirect the money in that way. if you focus on redevelopment and distribute tproperty tax dollars, and then he could just go forward. >> are just wanted to thank fred for being here. commissioners, there have been discussions with fred and other department leaders about the implications and what we know today. because the bill that the governor proposed is silent on the issue

it means that as you walk down to the bottom of the fire escape, there's a ladder sticking out horizontally. it will go down because there's a weight. >> it doesn't go all at once. >> so counter balance ladders are what the code currently require. but as we walk around, you will see many of them don't have counter balance ladders, they have drop ladders and accordians and all that. this is an excellent type of ladder. you can see from the end of counter balance ladder, there's a chain. if you follow the chain up. it goes up to a pulley and down the other side to a weight. can you see that? the big weight is the counter balance weight and the code prescribes how many force it will take to operate that counter balance. >> is there a maximum height? >> yes. there's a maximum and minimum. >> it's in the handout >> ladder xdto the ground. on page 6, 2.7. a permanent, 50 pounds. 150 pounds 1 quarter of the way will start to swing slowly down. and no fire escapes will be less than 14 feet above the sidewalk. when any part falls away, it has to be 14 feet. >> the top ladder too, that's a straight l

it, and so i don't have any concerns about the fact that there could be another builder, another horizontal developmenter that may occur during the process of treasure island being built, not that that is necessarily going to happen and we've seen this in other projects certainly with mission bay and as we move forward with park merced, the same principles would apply. president cheng:commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: several things i have concerns about, first, on ceqa findings, i don't believe, given my position on the previous item that i can find that we can make the findings that are required by this particular motion. i'm particularly concerned with the number of significant unavoidable impacts as well as significant unavoidable cumulative impacts and can't see how the commission can override thoses particular unavoidable impacts as presented in this document. so that's number one. number two, on the treasure island yerba buena area plan, it's really interesting to me that staff was able to put together an area plan within the space of about three weeks, i think. we had a rede

commissioner hwang: i am talking about what appears to be a horizontal -- >> that element here? that is the ceiling. commissioner hwang: i get it now. thank you. it is partially out said of the building. -- outside of the buildling. >> i think it is about 8 feet out. in that particular case, that goes to the property line. commissioner hwang: on the right side? >> you are talking about it elliptical thing? how far does the project out? from the face of the building, that is approximately 8 feet out from the face of the building, which should set it back 7 feet from the property line, six or 7 feet. president goh: can you point out the mechanicals in that same picture? correct this element back here -- vertically, you see this line here. that is the face of the mechanical protection between that line and the glass wall. there are louvers facing south and north that take care and exhaust out as well. commissioner hwang: and that would be set in if the revised plan worked? >> it is a zone that is roughly 30 feet -- 39 feet in the plan. it projects out from the glass. president goh:

mejor sigamos mirando el horizonte. ¿no le parece, mi seÑor?

what they are doing with this horizontal drilling technique, they have six different well sites from the one platform, is that understanding correct? >> that is my understanding and my observations where one site where this drilling activity goes on and takes up to perhaps 90 days to drill and to frack one of these wells, you can put multiple, at least up to six on one site. in terms of not disturbing -- minimizing disturbing the surface area, it's a great technology for the max mall -- maximum protection for a clean energy and water source. mr. reed: you have a real sense of the difference of having the multiple vertical locations that would talk about clearing trees and building roads to get access to those areas, you would take six of those vertical sites and put them in one location where they could tap into this reserve from one location rather than six locations. that's a great point to put that information out to people, because i think a lot of people think this is just a one-hole operation but it's a multi-hole operation. this is not cheap. these are millions of dollars of i

what has changed is the advent of horizontal drilling. if you fly into dallas/fort worth airport, you will be met with scenes of active drilling going on there thanks to the directional drilling that is capable from a single platform going out 1 mile or more into some of these is shale formations. i am glad to have the opportunity to share the perspective of my say on this practice. we helped develop this practice and it is essential to the development of 3 shale plant in our state. i want to focus on three points. texas and united states has a bountiful supply of natural gas. this has implications for job creation and our economy and national security. the states are effectively regulating hydraulic fracturing already. federal regulation by the epa would inevitably lead to duplicative regulation and bureaucratic delays and diminish the production of this important energy resources. in texas, the oil and gas industry provides more than 1.7 million jobs and accounts for nearly 25% of our state's economy. over 11,000 wells have been complet

horizontal contracts and even to permanent employers. there are really three main components to the program. employment and contracting goals, tihdi service contracts which will continue to give tihdi member organizations first offer on certain service contracts and development opportunities. real briefly, the permanent and construction hiring goals target 25% of the jobs to formerly homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals. 50% to local resident. so 50% overall. you're probably familiar with those goals which we will be complying with. the goals are 41% of total contract value and 38% so construction contracting 41%, professional service, 38%. as far as the construction of permitted jobs and implementation of the hiring, tihdi will be the lead job broker. tihdi will ready the 25% economically disadvantaged subset. they will help remove barriers entry for that population and refer them on to oewd's workforce division city build, the first program depending on whether it is construction or permanent, the workforce division lead

a horizontal addition and a vertical addition certainly will result in additional assessment. by the way,? are interesting because the rules change. if you are on the ground and it is a patio, it has different rules. if you lay a flagstone patio, you're not getting a permit for a deck. but if you build -- let us say you build a deck that is less than 30 inches off the ground. no permit is required. it does not go to the assessor reporter's office. between 30 and 36 inches off the ground, you need a permit. you can expand the entire size of your rear yard. if you are more than 36 inches off the ground, you have to meet the planning department open space requirements and encroachment requirements. there is a whole range. another thing would be converting an unfinished basement or adding living area, which is happening very often. people are taking the back of their grosz and turning it into their room, or an attic. that is happening in lot. you have to be assessed for that. i think that is a very green thing to do because you do not have to add building. do you have anything to

the next time you drive over the bridge you might notice the fluting or the beveled parts on the horizontal bars of the towers do have a lot of rust on them but that's not that big a deal because that's just decoration. allen, as we said earlier, the key part, the key part are the towers and cables that holds the bridge up. those are the areas that can't afford rust or damage. >> some of that paint is old, maybe lead based. how do they keep it from falling into the ocean. >> reporter: first of all, all the new paint that goes on there is not lead based at all but they are going to put tenting up under the scaffolding to make sure it doesn't get into the water or on land. >> simon perez, a great day to be at the bridge. >>> they switched their old energy guzzling appliance for more efficient ones. so why are many still waiting for their cash for appliances rebate? consumerwatch looks into the holdup. >> did somebody say cash? it was a million-dollar forecast today. priceless! now the day it it rain this weekend. we'll pinpoint that day as eyewitness news continues. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the no-nons

the left wing of the air france jet, the largest passenger plane in the world, clips the horizontal stabilizer of the commuter plane, spinning the jet nearly 90 degrees. >> comair 553, send a truck, just hit us. >> attention all emergency question respond to taxiway alpha and mike. >> reporter: there were hundreds of passengers on the flight bound for paris monday night but it was a scarier ride for the dozens on the commuter plane just in from boston. >> we were waiting. we were kind of all having a chat and it was annoying and then suddenly bang, from one side of the plane. >> just crushing noises. like what's breaking? sounded like smashing glass or something breaking. >> reporter: audio recordings between air traffic control here at jfk and the pilots show that the smaller plane was trying to exit the runway but may have stopped short because of congestion at the gate. aviation experts also say the superjumbo airbus is known in the industry to have blind spots. >> because of the enormous wingspan of the 380, the pilot's left wing protruded into and down the taxiway mike where the comair je
