we posted within 300 feet of the location both the original location was posted and the new location was physically posted on telephone poles or other outdoor areas, door hangers were done prior to construction, so there's multiple floppers -- forms of notice that were provided. as to the hearing notice, at&t does not provide the hearing notice, dpw e-mailed the notice to mr. yee, he didn't attend the hear, it's not just that the box showed up, there was a hear, he did not appear, the director supported the staff decision and at&t moved forward. so, multiple notices were given, many people received those notices, we are here to attest that we complied with everything we voluntarily agreed to as well as the dpw order requirements. as to the substantive appropriateness of the position, the department is here, they have detailed siting guidelines to say where cabinets can be placed, the cabinet complies, the foot track if -- for the post office was considered, [inaudible] it's one of the busiest markets in the city, a new location was found that has less traffic, it's not in front to ha

as the map demonstrates, all of these locations are within a jesus -- geographical location and all in the neighborhood which is essentially the same during that half mile or so of the city. no difference in terms of the neighborhood where the businesses whatsoever. as the map demonstrates, the current location is within less than two city blocks from the location which was implicitly approved as an existing business when the legislation was passed in 2008. now, significantly, so, based on that argument and based upon that continuous use in operation over all those years in essentially the same half mile stretch despite the different locations, that business has operated continues ously in that location. therefore the findings that we were a new business subject to in 2008 in the legislation. the legislation is clear and the board of supervisors conduct shows that it's clear that the amendments in 2008 clearly applied to new fringe financial businesses in this district. the word new is in the history of legislation and in the language of the legislation. we clearly were not a new busin

walk trying to find the best location for the community in that area, came up with this location based on that detailed location. >> can these facilities be underground? >> new york city it's essentially like a lap top, you can't bury it and still have it function, it's high-tech electronic stuff, it's not just cables and wires that you with put underground. that was described extensively when this was going through the board of appeal and has asked us to provide information to them whether or not that becomes feasible. >> how many of these facilities do you have throughout the city? >> currently, i would have to ask my client the exact number. would you like me to do so? >> yes. >> you can come up to the microphone. >> thank you. >> hi, my name is mark, i'm regional vice-president for at&t, we have thousands of above ground services across the city that serve as connection boxes for wired telephone networks, the proposal that we have was an upgrade and the permission that we received from the department of planning that was appealed to the board of supervisors and that appeal was deni

>> where is it currently located? >> right here at -- across the intersection, across both 22nd and irving. >> do you have any other illustration for us to see really where 300 feet -- >> i don't, i don't have a radius map. the notice, that list of addresses is as expansive as 300 feet, that's what i could offer in terms of what you have before you. i don't have a map. >> can i ask you to put that back up, the one with the red x. >> it's still up. >> okay. >> the red x is -- indicate it is bus stop for the bus line 71? >> correct. >> so, it's opposite the intersection. >> right sx, the bus pulls this way. >> so, no one's getting on a bus in front of this ?frjts no. >> is there any bus going up and down 22nd? >> sorry, yeah, it's this way. >> so, where is the bus stop? >> on the corner. >> on the other side of the street? >> i didn't draw it accurately when i was sitting -- >> so, where do people get on and off the bus, on the other corner of the intersection, but they don't get on and off in front of the property? >>

and re-evaluate another potential location. the department is limited in what we can do in terms of dictating a specific location. we can tell at&t and other utilities whether this -- their proposed placement satisfied the technical requirements. >> no, i understand that, however, the fact that the lack of a simple diagram showing the 300 radius around their equipment to look at alternate sites indicates to me that it was never done and if your department is ensuring that they conformed to the terms of the mou and the order, there are a number of subjective criteria that's part of that which i don't see how you can review if you have no idea of the range of area upon which they can look at the alternative sites. >> [inaudible]. >> kind of. >> was that not clear? >> i'm trying to understand the statement, sir. >> let it go, let it go. >> i think the concern from commissioner fung is regarding, you knower, who's watching the candy store on the notification, correct? >> i think it's alternative sites, sorry. >> go ahead. >> what i

at each location, each location where the graffiti was found was given a graffiti location identification that included latitude and longitude. each location was mapped using a gps -- garmin gps so we were able to locate those locations for comparison purposes, photo was taken of each graffiti, site was characterized whether it was a hot location in the neighborhood, if it didn't have a street name the intersection of the location the graffiti was also determined. at each location, then, there could have been 10 pieces of graffiti, there could have been 5. each piece of graffiti was given a unique graffiti identification code, the target property, and i'll go through some definitions what these are, but the side, the tagger name, the crew name, the time of the photo, which categories it fit in, which descriptors, all that information was recorded about each piece of graffiti at that location. so, for example, size. how do you categorize size. what we did was come up with predetermined classifications about what we could categorize as size and we looked at the types of graffiti that we wer

the locations are prioritized using the city ada transition plan and this map shows locations throughout district 7 that have curb ramps planned. some of the key corridors include various areas . our street scape projects in district 7 include the slope boulevard flashing beak beacon project and that is fund audio there is a million dollars funded. at the three intersections and those are slope and everglade where we are installing bus balbs and improving the median and we will install these as well as flashing beacons to warn motorists that pedestrians are crossing the street and 23rd and slope we will install the flashing beacons. along 19th avenue we have a greening project. part of it is completed. there is an additional 600,000 in the streets bond for completing the planting between winona and here and this completes my presentation. thank you. >> thank you. the next presentation will be from the mta and it's ricardo alia. i assume you're not related. are you? >> yes we are. good morning supervisors. my name is ricardo alia and the traffic engineer with the mta so we deal with the t

relates to the various locations that was evaluated by at&t, i have to rely upon at&t's comments specifically because my understanding has been they have been working with the community, they have provided statements that they've been working with the community and there has been meetings with the community. >> you have been aware of the concerns raised by the appellant with respect to the location and so what i'm trying to understand is whether the department took into consideration other alternative locations and found those alternate locations not preferable to the one ultimately where the permit was ultimately issued, the site at issue. there is sm what of a burden in my view of the department to make an assessment as to whether alternative -- especially when you have an appellant is voicing as well as community members voicing objections to the site, so what -- you know, it troubles mre to hear that it would be driven by at&t rather than the department. >> that is part of the evaluation but we must recognize 22nd value except for this particular location is primarily residential, these a

applicant premises is located in a high crime area. this premise is located in track listed. applicant premise is currently located in undue concentration area. there is zero recorded letters of protest and zero recorded letters of support. southern stage police station does approve this license with some recommended conditions. the alu unit does recommend approval. the following conditions have been recommended to the california department of alcohol beverage control. number one sales and service and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. midnight each day of the week. no distilled spirits are sold in bottles or containers smaller thran 375-milliliters. no wine sold with alcoholic content greater than 15% by volume. no malt beverage shall be sold with alcohol content greater than 5.7% by volume. no noise audible under the area under control of the licensee. loitering is defined to stand idle about without lawful business is prohibited on sidewalks or property adjacent to the premise under the control of the licensee as depicted

geo- location protection act. i expect there are other pieces of legislation that have been introduced on the house and senate side. the gps act that representative chase introduced last month has a good number of bipartisan co- sponsors. they are also available on the senate side. i can speak a little bit more to the house developments. i know david already spoke to last month's hearing, but i think it gave us reason to have a lot of optimism. the committee chairman expressed interest in convening a series of hearings on ecpa, so there will be a lot of consultation with stakeholders in the course of these hearings. it was positive to have the department of justice testifying to say there is merit to the idea that we need a warrant standard for stored e-mail content. that was really helpful. i think there remains to be seen concerns remain. law enforcement will present some issues that we really need to look at, and by no means is the legislation that my boss has co-sponsored not open for conversation and consulta

and it's a busy location so there isn't anything special that i see in that location to other financial district where people are walking and since there are people being offered permits i don't understand why this is denied. >> because it's located audits the art college and you have students who are in front of the of the business. the building stretched for half a block. we are 10 feet away from the main door in case of a fire hazard. so everything that's stated in the policy we've complied to all of that. the one we started a year ago was on market street and the second one is on market street but on pine and drum >> okay. and th is there any proximity to starbuck's? >> yes between pine and drum is on exact opposite streets and none of those businesses have not objected none of them have objected. so because i don't think they would consider us to be a threat because they're selling something different than what we are. yeah, we have pizza across the second cart and there is pizza within a hundred feet and none of them so far have objected >> okay. thank you. >> good evening nick wi

the good news that head street is a good opportunity at that time where this location maybe a location with a transit priority feature built in. so i would consider the always stop an is the interim treatment until further improvements are contemplated. >> thank you very much. i think it's important to call this out because the transit riders are going to notice an additional stop and it just highlights the challenges we face with keeping pedestrians safe and sometimes we have to sacrifice a little bit more transit efficiency. thank you. that's my only question other than that, i will move the calendar. is there a second? >> all in favor, say aye. >> aye. >> directors, at this point it would be moving on to item 11 discuss and to discussion a closed section. >> item 11, vote to invoke the attorney-client privilege. >> is there a second? >> all in favor, say >> item 12, announcement of closed session. the board voted unanimously to settle the matter and took no actions. directors would you have a motion to discuss or not discuss? >> all in favor, say aye.o directors moving to to item 10

cd's can locate other districts. i will speak, i think the 500 foot ban could lead to a situation where you have 6 blocks but if you did it as a cu, you could have these in one block which i think it makes sense especially given there are landlords that won't lease to mcd. do we have a motion? and a second on the floor? >> i would move to adopt this with modifications where we convert the 500 foot restricts to c u's. >> second. >> maker has to accept it. >> there was a motion. >> there is an initial motion with a second. there has been a second motion with a second. we should take up the first motion and back it up with a second. let me get a chance to get my head around the second one. okay. so there is a motion by commissioner border, seconded by commissioner moore to adopt the resolution recommended approval for the proposed new mcd and controls with the exception to access neighborhood regarding control for medical cannabis dispensaries. or that motion, commissioner antonini, no, moore, no, sugaya, no, wu, no, fo

can you tell me about this particular location, the program? >> this location is very significant. this was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the program began in 1972. how does a person become a street artist? there are two major tenants. you must make the work yourself and you must sell the work yourself. a street artist, the license, then submitting the work to a committee of artists. this committee actually watches them make the work in front of them so that we can verify that it is all their own work. >> what happened during the holiday to make this an exciting location? >> this would be a magic time of year. you would probably see this place is jammed with street artists. as the no, there is a lottery held at 6 in the morning. that is how sought after the spaces are. you might get as many as 150 street artists to show up for 50 spaces. >> what other areas can a licensed street artist go to? >> they can go to the fisherman's wharf area. they can go in and around union square. we have space is now up in the castro, i

the cu is only triggered when they are changing locations which it refers you to. i think the language under e, it does talk about continuations of existing prohibits fringe financial service uses. it's not saying continuations of permitted financial. >> yes. i think that's the point. if they are principally permitted then they are in non-conforming use. >> i get what you are saying. >> all right. at the risk of complicating this a little further. >> don't. >> i just want to draw your attention to section e 2, e 1 and 2 which suggest perhaps that, well, i should let you read it for yourself. >> like all legislation this is not clear. >> let's read it. >> which my interpretation they meet. >> i would actually like to hear from the appellant since we gave mr. sanchez an opportunity to give his interpretations. >> i certainly agree that that legislation is confusing and i agree with commissioner fong's argument that the business was never a non-conforming business, but it appears from again to studying this statute and looking and that subsection e which we are all lo

for the most part once that 19th avenue project was done took a lot of locations. ocean avenue was upgraded and well and there are ones that remain to be done and sunset and ocean should be done next year and in terms of new traffic signals this is a new one and four in design for district 7. and near the zoo and city college and also a site of a fatal collision which is i location that is shared with daly city but the city decided on its own to signalize it with consultation based on totals reported at that junction. pedestrian crossing times are something the city has been looking at since the 90's. there has been a lot of policies issued. one is the two and a half feet per second crossing time and curb to refuge or curb to curb and implemented city wide and still in effect. i guarantee the seniors, children, some of our more vulnerable populations time to cross the street. recently the state and federal guidelines have changed nationwide so instead of providing that clearance time which is the average walking speed of average pedestrian, the average determined b
