we presented other ideas and locations one 100 1100 feet from the location. one of them being a car repair shop with no doors or windows, there is no trees there or no obstruction. at the end of the meeting we left thinking that there was a serious commitment to looking at a lot of alternatives that were presented and since then we received information from the city that the project is moving forward in the original location and no indication why suggestions didn't work or weren't considered and sounded as if the effort of going to the meeting produced no results. they went ahead with the location. thank you. supervisor scott weiner: thank you. i would mentioned other situations where that happened and at the hearing got that result. i would encourage you to talk to at&t and dpw. >> hello supervisors, my name is erica sampson with the college hill association on the southwest corner of vernal heights with supervisor wiener district. i'm here to learn more about the process and enjoyed all of the discussion preceding. and to also determine at&t's true commitme

i want to know what the plan is for this specific location. >> first we took all the boxes located within the historic district out of our bill plan before we even went before planning back three or 4 years ago. so any of the planning districts or any of the historic districts that are recognized by planning in districts we have removed those. there are individual homes that are in the national historic register and those types of things where we wouldn't place that. so in that particular instance, i believe that the cabinet can be cited outside the zone and still be within 300 feet. i don't have them all with me. supervisor malia cohen: i know i'm asking something specific. i would appreciate the specifics around it. mr. chair, that's it for me. supervisor scott weiner: okay, thank you. at this point. was that the end of your presentation? >> yes. supervisor scott weiner: at this time i will open up to public comment. i will call the first batch. if you would please lineup on the side of the room to my left that would be terrific. if anyone because of mobility, limitations, that's fine a

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 appellant is located one property removed at 530-day street. this is a sloping lot so the property is higher than the permit holder property. also as the permit holder noted there was a 2011 building permit application for addition and to add a garage and that went through notification. and there were no discretionary review requestcious , the building permit was issued last may and after the issuance of the building permit, they decided to add the roof deck and access to that roof deck. based upon the plan, that is code compliant and would not require notice. it would be allowed without section 311 notice as well as the railing that is proposed. that said, there are a couple of discrepancies that i did notice in the plans which maybe something that can be addressed as through revision process. when comparing the roof plan and third floor plan, the location of the retractable skylights do not lineup. there is also a proposed stair from the deck at the rear of the building that goes on top of the retaining wall in the rear yard. that's shown, i

by going ahead with recommending both the fullal location, but also thal location, for the out reach subcontractor that is the problem. >> thank you. is there anyone else that would like to speak? >> mr. flanagin? would you like to? >> i would just, i would just like to say that the things that i have seen on the buses and on the streets like the bicycle riders riding on the sidewalk, and when the taxis come up to have somebody that is mobility and to come on to the sidewalk, the wheelchair can't get on the sidewalk because of overcrowding bicycles. and overcrowding shopping carts. and i would like to have it safe for the these kind of people when they get off of the or out of the taxi and, out of a para transit vehicle. as well as coming out of the bus, as well. it disturbs me a little bit when i see the problem and i fry to help the individuals that have half of the problems. most of these people have vision impairments, or most of them have other impairments. but, i would like to, i would like to see some improvement, on the sidewalks and streets, thank you very much. >> thank you

we are talking small locations. we've been there since 93 and have seen numerous businesses close as a result because they couldn't make it. our bartenders depend on their tip income. it's really not going to make a difference. i'm also concerned about the 25 percent frontage. >> your time is up. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini? >> this is an interesting case. i drive by the hideout many times and it really looks like a cool barment i should stop in. many times i'm on the way to my work out. i don't really see the conflict. i do see all the signatures from customers and the patient -- petition and thoughts sorts of things but it would seem there might be a different type of customer that might go to the craft brewery. this is becoming very popular. brings them in the neighborhood and then they might decide to try the hideout the next time they come in. the craft beer thing is popular. there is this place called the golden gate cent
