commissioner hurtado: i think i am in agreement with commissioner garcia. it would have been nice to have reached a compromise. i would support a motion to move the grill, but that is about it. commissioner fung: is there a motion? president garcia: we are waiting for you to make a motion, and then we will attack you. commissioner fung: we wind up looking at compromises. and i agree. i thought that some of the comments, perhaps -- given the approach, i would make the following motion -- to grant the appeal, but to uphold the permit, with the following conditions. that the grill be relocated to the center of the building at some point adjacent to the penthouse wall and that the north rail and the south real -- excuse me. let me restate that. that the north rail be moved 1.5 feet, and that the south will be moved 1.5 feet. >> just for the length of the rail fronting the light well? commissioner fung: that is correct. >> just to be clear, the grill you are moving -- what would that be? commissioner fung: that would be the east wall of the penthouse. >> in the

commissioner hurtado: i think there would agree with that. i do not see any reason to overturn this permit at all. president garcia: nor do i. but i do wish we had the entire scope of the product in front of us rather than this piece. i do not really think this is a spite wall but part of a future project. i guess it is more about that easement than it is about the wall. at any rate, i moved that we all hold the permit and deny the appeal. based on the fact that this wall is code complianct and no evidence was presented to cause us to overturn the permit. >> we have a motion from the president to deny this appeal, of all the permit on the basis that it is code compliance and no evidence was presented to cause the board to overturn. on that motion -- commissioner fung: aye. commissioner hillis: aye. commissioner hurtado: aye. the vote is 4-0. this permit is upheld on that basis. thank you. >> good morning, everybody. i am the manager -- we will kick it off first with a message from our cities librarian. the director of the san francisco librar
