what is before you is a proposed change of use for 1945 hyde street, the valencia garage. change it from a public parking facility to a residential condominium. in addition to this change in use is a request for a rear yard variants, which is before mr. sanchez today. my understanding is that a change of use must serve the community affected. the residents of russian hill would not be best served by granting this change of use. the density, topography, housing stock, and aging population will suffer with the loss of this parking garage. so mr. sanchez does not feel ignored this afternoon, the project sponsor is also requesting approval of a rearguard variance to reduce the required rear yard of 25 feet by 60% to 810-foot rear yard. since the developer would not be providing sufficient rearguard open space for the new residents, additional demands would be placed on the very little existing public open space in the neighborhood. please do not approve this change of use, and please do not approve this variance. thank you very much. commissioner olague: thank you.

harney owns the property on union street, colored green, which is contiguous to the 1945 hyde street project. i'm going to put up a plan of the areas circled. the apartments on the top floor of the union street building face directly onto the roof top of the present raj, the area colored pink on the plan shows the proposed extent of the new top floor addition. the blue area on the plan shows the proposed roof terrace, and the dashed line shows the proposed overhang. if we look at this photograph taken from the present rooftop, the two windows on the right, as you can see, will be completely obscured by the new wall, which is a scant two feet or so from the face of the window, and then, the -- to make matters worse, the overhang projects an additional 6 feet, putting the rest of the light well, which has other windows on its, in shadow during the day because this is the south bay.

of the reporting from the hyde park in london and as you were reporting we were looking at some live pictures there of just one of the thousands of people of protestors demonstrators in central london want to see how they compare to the student protests over november december two thousand and ten already looks like the numbers are going to war in comparison he said laura and i thank you. of radiation levels in the c.n.a. japan's fukushima nuclear plant have spiked to more than a thousand times the norm it's been over two weeks now since the devastating earthquake and tsunami which caused the accident at the facility the official death toll from the disaster stands at over ten thousand people with many more missing or homeless emergency teams still struggling to control the situation at the stricken fukushima nuclear plant several workers sustained a radiation burns while installing cables as part of efforts to restore the critical cooling systems nuclear energy experts say the damage to the site is having a dangerous effect on the environment and to people's health. i think it's cata

the hyde amendment has been around for a long time and that's true for planned parenthood and hospitals across america who provide a full range of reproductive health care. no federal dollars, except in the most extreme cases pay for abortion services. >> one more follow-up. a $1.1 billion budget. is that correct? >> we are the largest non-profit provider of women's health care in america. we see 3 million patients per year. we do it at an incredibly cost- effective way and we prevent more than 600,000 unintended pregnancies each year in america by providing family-planning. 2.5 million women and men came to us last year alone and we did about 830,000 breast exams and more than a million pap smears. in many parts of the country what we have been hearing from thousands of women since the house made this decision in many parts of the country planned parenthood is the only provider of basic women's health care. 72% of our health care centers are either in rural america or medically underserved communities. we're a vital provider to men and women each year. >> we are in an era in washington

obama might... >> hinojosa: okay, hyde park, south side of chicago where barack obama and his family lived up until they moved to the white house. it's where you lived for seven years. it's where i actually spent, you know, 20 years of my life growing up. >> that's right, that's right. >> hinojosa: strange little place, but hyde park and michelle obama because... >> so michelle obama was working at the university of chicago during my years there. she was a fixture in the neighborhood. barackbamaas my state senator. he was my senator. he was my neighbor just around the corner at a condominium complex. you know, i'd see him running at the... actually, he'd lap me running at the lake, because i run very, very slowly. it's much more like a walk with my arms bent. so in many ways, i think those of us who weren't intimate friends of the obamas but were sort of just in the orbit often saw michelle as at least equally the star if not more the star. she has a kind of graciousness and a bigness of her personality that never... it never overwhelms the people with whom she's in the room, but it'

well i'm here in hyde park. taking place. elsewhere in. the story is very different this is really. just to travel. up to five hundred thousand people participating in this march and a little bit. around full thousand people on oxford street which is london's main shopping streets and the police are trying to employ the controversial tactic of cataloging them say keeping them in a confined space that they can't do any damage at the police they're also dressed in riot gear but nevertheless people have been smashing windows they smashed the windows at the ritz hotel and also in a variety of shops along the streets and we hear that fourteen people have been injured during that protesters are throwing paint bombs they're throwing flares that police and they're also using dustbins as projectiles and we've also heard just to seriously that waitresses have been throwing ammonia at police which could potentially blind and there's also as i say this huge peaceful demonstration behind me this is a demonstration that has been planned in the planning stages for months since december and there a

another hyde park radical in chicago he wrote a book called resurrecting empire. do you know how the acknowledgement section starts? quote, first -- this is how it starts. first chronologically and every other way comes bill ayers. bill ayers was his editor-in-chief in hyde book, the guy who helped him put it together. that's a service he provided. that's not a crazy guy that bill ayers is actually involved with dreams for my father. another thread that i got involved in was the question of post-modernism and post-modernism is sort of like pornography. it's one of the things that's hard to describe but when you see it you know it. basically it means that you reject like judeo-christian view of the world and you impose your own reality on it and you construct the reality and you impose it on the world. that doesn't sound like it makes much sense but it doesn't but it's there. you can recognize it when you see it. ayers' own memoir is laced with equal or constructed reality and so to his dreams here's what obama says but another part of me knew that what i was telli

we are currently opposed to current proposed projects that 1945 hyde street. the largest complaint is because this is a neighborhood commercial district in which only 1000 square feet are being used for commercial space. this project feels more in line with a residential development than a neighborhood commercial development in the fact that less than 10% of the space is being used for commercial space and the rest is being used for essential space. the analogy that came to my mind is that had houses are not considered part of an existing building, and yet, they are allowed to take up 10% of a rough area. here you have a neighborhood commercial development, in which commercial space is less than 10%. the highest and best use for this project we feel would be that the total ground-floor be used for commercial space and other spaces be used accordingly. but in regards to revenue, we look at this project and whether it would be better for the city to generate revenue in its current state or in its proposed state, and we found that the parking tax staying at 25% o

the policy applies to those properties on the south side of jefferson street between powell and hyde streets. we are not talking about very many properties. it is approximately four blocks. the buildings are not on port property, but the sidewalk is. if you recall the infamous blue line, i'm talking about things that hang over onto port property. currently, building owners are required to seek a permit from the city's planning department and the department of building inspection. the policy also requires that building owners come to the port for an encroachment permit, and this has caused confusion and frustration with the building owners. and there is also issues with enforcement. so we have spoken with the planning department, and there is a mechanism in place that the board can still achieve what it needs to achieve -- that the port can still achieve what it needs to without having the building owners go through this business steps that are cumbersome. in an effort to make the process a little bit more business- friendly, it was determined that the airspace encroachment portion of

the other thing that is important is that through the hyde amendment no federal funds whether it is planned parenthood or your local hospital who operates like we do, federal funds to not go to pay for abortion services. the regulations on this are very strict and have been. folks know that and we are reimbursed for services provided. for every pap smear or breast exam or birth control visit and we appreciate that kind of scrutiny. it is important that the taxpayers in this country get what they pay for and get good services. i point that is why we are seeing such an outpouring in this country of support. one in five women in this country has been to planned parenthood at some point in their lifetime. we are hearing from them all across america women who had their first breast exam and found out early they had a lump and were able to get referred and get treatment, women who had their first birth control at planned parenthood and the main not have had health care insurance, may be their job did not pay them enough to get care elsewhere. we are very proud of that. we take the health care of

recovery advocates, you're making greater head roads into the 20 million people in recovery that miss hyde talks about. so instead of reaching less then 3 million and providing services, we make inroads into the 22-and-a-half million that still need that. our message isn't resonating with multiple groups and so as a field, i think we want to look at our message and i think to have that universal language is going to mean that we can't view non-traditional groups as still target populations, if you will, from a deficit perspective. but then we begin to view them as key informants, that they have valuable information that can add to this discussion. and until we begin to do that, it's our, our whole efforts are going to be based around self-serving. we need this particular language to protect our funding stream, we need this particular language to add value to the work that we do versus our primary purpose is to provide the services and the help for people that are struggling with substance abuse or addiction and any of the other issues that they present to us with. well we need the language
