mapping is incorre incorrect. the flood zones that are created or identified through the mapping are not proper. i just went through one of these in my district where, luckily, the community got together and just worked very, very hard and got it changed, but i don't know how much of that is out there and whether or not if we need to also think about that as we do a delay of getting the program on track. >> if the gentlelady was yield. >> yes, i yield to the chair. >> i think that, actually, congresswoman mccarthy was here and had very much so the same concerns and some maps that she believed were really mistaken, and it sounded like that, so that this is an issue, and i think the first panel relied that there is an appeal process that people should take advantage of. but you're right, we need to make sure that that's correct, and i think that we have in this draft attempted to address that issue, and that mandatory purchase requirement would be suspended for one year with the possibility of two additional one-yea

>> map's are available on-line through subscription by various libraries through the sand born map company. the san francisco library for a period of one year had a trial subscription and the use did not justify the cost so they suspended and the public demand to return that may occur again. >> what is sand born. >> the short answer is, no. sand born was a mapping company that was part of a fire insurance program that went around cities all over the united states and maybe beyond and actually, physically, mapped by hand every building, hold that up for me -- every building and every out building and set of stairs and updated these map's on an annual basis walking around the city and unfortunately someone had the mistakes of canceling the subscription ten or twelve years back but we have these historical map's and their fantastic in many ways. they don't give you a full history of the building but at the snapshot, i think this was in the 40s. you can look that building and actually see, if you look carefully, you can see the number of floors. two floors with an addition in the back and a bu

maps. >> okay. we very much endorse the idea of bringing back the mapping of the advisory committee. actually, when it was enstated in i think it was 1994 or 1995, it was thrir recommendations to -- their recommendations and they brought out the map mod earnization program that led to great progress in improving the accuracy of the maps in those places. yes, we do believe that that's an important body to have as an advisory counsel. through fee ma's risk map program, the next five year initiative, they have taken certain very strong steps to address quality issues with the mapping, and also to have greater engagement with the community so there's more ground proofing to what they're doing earlier on in the process. >> let me stop you there. that was the big dpail euro. -- failure. they did not let the neighborhood know or the counties know. they just asked them for their old maps which is very upsetting. >> fema has addressed a lot of problems in that regard with their risk map process. it's very cl

. >> other types of gis are web based mapping systems. like google earth, yahoo maps. microsoft. those are examples of on line mapping systems that can be used to find businesses or get driving directions or check on traffic conditions. all digital maps. >> gis is used in the city of san francisco to better support what departments do. >> you imagine all the various elements of a city including parcels and the critical infrastructure where the storm drains are. the city access like the traffic lights and fire hydrants. anything you is represent in a geo graphic space with be stored for retrieval and analysis. >> the department of public works they maintain what goes on in the right-of-way, looking to dig up the streets to put in a pipe. with the permit. with mapping you click on the map, click on the street and up will come up the nchgz that will help them make a decision. currently available is sf parcel the assessor's application. you can go to the assessor's website and bring up a map of san francisco you can search by address and get information about any place in san francis

there are excellent maps of the city. in fact, there are a hazard maps. in 1974, there was a landslide map. >> that's right. that is available at that apartment building inspection. these are excellent maps. >> there is a real legacy of geologists working and now cannot always published. san francisco has a great repository of some of these archives. there is a child just -- a geologist to publish letters that is a great source of information. we are on the coast, they have the definitive work for all of the [inaudible] >> and did they pick up the old [inaudible] and wetlands? >> there was a map of those that weren' off the field. you can see where these are with respect to those that have been filled in with a debris from the 06 earthquake. >> that is one of the things i've learned, the very local zones, exactly where you are building at. side-by-side, san francisco is so varied in its tomography and geology, you cannot tell by looking at the site specifically. >> this will be at the end of the drive. you can show which time we will be looking at out the

this is just the general area maps. six antennas would be mounted on one of the penthouses of the building and two would be attached to another penthouse. they would be painted to match the color of the structure to blend in. antennas would be mounted 71 feet above ground level and 11 feet above roof level. equipment will also be located on the roof. this is the site plan at the roof level. uc two pink arrows pointing to the penthouse where the equipment will be located. this is a close-up of the mounting of the antennas. these are some elevations. again, the pink arrows are pointing to the penthouses. i have some photos simulations. you can see the antennas are blending in with the background. they are not adding any extra height to the building. this is just from a different angle, showing the second penthouse. the proposed and existing condition are almost the same. this concludes my presentation. president olague: thank you. is there any public comment on this item? step to the microphone, please. >> good afternoon.

that's when the united states army corps of engineers produced this map. it was intended to show that it was economically feasible and, in fact, desirable to fill another 60 percent of the bay. that was their intention. instead, when this map was published it alarmed the public and it motivated them to take action to prevent the bay from becoming little more than a broad river. they didn't like what the corps had predicted. the science fiction writer ray bradbury says the purpose of science fiction isn't to predict the future, it's to prevent the future that's described. i don't think the corps of engineers intended this report to fall into the category of great science fikds, but that's what happened. the present day bay looks more like this. bcdc was created to stop the uncontrolled filling of the bay and we've done that. in fact, we've reversed the shrinking of the bay. it's now 8,000 acres larger than it was 40 years ago and the conversion of salt ponds in the north and south bay to wetlands will make it another 26,000 acres larger. we are very proud o

with mapping. i'm interested in getting your thoughts on having the mapping process and an entire independent entity in an effort to ensure the most accurate data is used to update the maps. nassau county, long island, we had our maps updated. to give you a side bar, i have a retirement home somewhere out in suffolk county, very close to the water. i did not get an increase. i am now not in a flood zone, and i don't understand that at all, because when it rains heavy, the water from the bay comes up basically on the lawn. so something's wrong here. if i'm i'm living there, then i should be paying more, in my opinion. i shouldn't say that, but right now i'm getting away with it. but the people in nassau county, the center, in my opinion, the maps are wrong. so i would like your opinion on bringing back the technical mapping advisory council so that we have more accurate maps. >> okay. we very much endorse the idea of the concept of bringing back the technical mapping advisory committee. actually whe

a zoning map would cost money, but even if the zoning map amendment were initiated by the board of supervisors, the procedures at the planning department is again to pass the cost of that review, including environmental review, on to any real property owner of interest. even in a rezoning map and then that were initiated by the board, in order for us to process the work, we would still be billing the property owner. as you know, nothing can happen by the board or city without a free its sequel clearance -- without appropriate ceqa clearance. supervisor mar: i appreciate all the testimony from the groups that are strongly supportive of this and other different stakeholders as well. supervisor cohen, do you have questions? supervisor cohen: i did not have any questions. supervisor mar: i guess i appreciate the community effort that has been ongoing since the mid-80 -- the mid-1980's. community groups have been giving input on this, and my hope is that the development and others can work through the process with planning to get their needs met, but i see that since there is so much support from s

mast -- map matched the blacklisting. this was heard by the board and approved on first reading this week. -- match map -- matt matched the block listing. an ordinance sponsored by supervisor farrell would remove block restaurants in the neighboring commercial district. the proposed restaurant would be allowed by conditional use of -- conditional use authorization. you recommended approval but recommended to also modified to allow the large fast-food restaurants. since your recommendations, the supervisors worked with the departments and merchants and labor groups. the supervisor amended the legislation in three ways. per your request, the ordinance includes large fast-food restaurants, second, the old legislation was amended to specify when this commission and cigarettes rents in the future in this area, the commissions should consider whether bludgeon other daytime usages to limit the businesses that have no daytime act -- with these amendments, the board approved the ordinance this week and also on tuesday, there was a

this says, map, border, resistance. truth. spirit, faith. doctrine, domaine. love, free, open, winds, cut. did you here the euphony of the street like birds among the fluttering leaves of their books and newspapers as they addressed if not solved, defined if not created the problems and the promise of tomorrow? did you hear the explosion, the screech, the howl the scream. did you even know? >> the photograph. the photograph was of an iraqi boy on the front page of the new york times. he sat at the edge of the truck. 8 or 9 years old. surrounded by his family. his father, mother and 5 siblings were asleep. his head was buried in his hands. all the clouds of the world were waiting on the threshold of his ice. let all man wipe off the sweat and start the digging the 7th grace. >> for nearly a hundred years there was a station in the middle of san francisco. chinese were detained before being allowed to enter the u.s. in this reading, writer nancy om, takes the audience to angel island. >> palm trees faced us when we landed. they were like garred yens to pass the

and lastly, we have tentative maps. tentative maps refers to a map made for the purpose of showing the design and the existing conditions in and around it. any tenant in a property for which a conversion is proposed or other than respect to a conversion for which a tentative map is not required, or any person who owns property within 30 feet of a proposed subdivision. appeal must be filed within 10 days of release of the decision of the director of public works. a $280 fee for that. and appeals are scheduled before the full board within 30 days of the date of the appeal. and this is a requirement to overturn the decision. included in your packet, i have given you the procedures for filing ceqa appeals, as well as all the specific code sections relating to all the other appeals. and i am available to answer any questions that you have. president o'brien: thank you very much for that informative presentation. i have ones who actually received a negative declaration one time. can you help me understand what i got? it was g

>> thousands ben can somebody hold of that map -- thousands. >> this is a map that he put together. she is known for going after these problems and people have called her. this is a rhetorical question -- don't you think this indicates that people are frustrated? it is unbelievable to me that they would call you, someone in the private sector, rather than call the epa of nih. maybe they are calling them as well but doesn't this indicate a level of frustration? >> they don't feel they are being heard. that is why i started this map. i got over 40,000 e-mails each month. what happened 48 months ago was that i kept saying from communities that they are concerned and they are saying too many cancers. that becomes a flag for me when i have not one or five communities but 20 and 50 and 100 telling me the same thing. i created the map and they are frustrated. they want some answers. not everything when we look into it will be related to an environmental issue. in some instances, it could clearly be we may be overseeing it. these people don't naturally wake up and learn of their friend with

this particular map is for sub- surface rights only. if you are standing on the street, you will really not be affected by these changes and these sections of street. these include -- on the left of this map is second street. i will slide them over so you can see they run all the way to fremont with one section here. those are the only sub-surface rights. above ground in yellow, shown here, two pages of these. these run from second street, which is shown on the left. here, they run to fremont and a small section on beale. this last section, second street is on your left. small section on second and on harrison. the description of the actual rights needed are intentionally slightly larger than what we believe will actually be needed at the end of the date to allow the design process to unfold and very precisely defined the rights that will eventually be conveyed from the city to tjpa. the design is ongoing. we have been working collaborative with the planning department. the general plan referral in this is to support this request. ordin

position on the map. the statistics appear to be alarming. these are mothers reporting to me, six children on the same block with leukemia. these are mothers reporting to me 15 children within blocks of one another who have cancers. in some instances, it is nurses reporting to mothers the large numbers of pediatric cancers they are seeing in certain communities. this work is being done ad hoc by concerned citizens. we must gather data from the field and act. we must develop national strategies for identifying actionable action. we must take a combined approach to the battle against disease of our own making. when i talk about this issue, i think of my son, who is fighting a war in afghanistan. if i were suddenly to find myself in the field of conflict, it would not matter how credentialed i was. environmentalists or u.s. senator, i would take my lead from those who had been on the ground. make no mistake, i feel as if we are in a war here at home. in this battle, we look to you as our commander. on that m

when you map out these declines, this is this plotted - the trend is plotted from negative to the left and positive to the right that bottom there and elevation is traced on the vertical scale here, so lower is down and higher is up and lower is warming and higher is cooler - you can see the larger losses, of course are occurring to lower to middle elevations in our western areas and that makes sense. those are the areas closer to the freezing level. mr.noels, conducted a study of precipitation gauges across the west where first of all, climate wise these have been ones that have received snow and they have a fairly substantial record and also they've recorded snow - snow fall, that is they have a snow board or some other ability to record daily snow accumulation and over about the same period as we looked at in the stream gauge network. he shows the ones that have lost and gained in the precipitation as snow. as you can see, the large majority - again about 75 percent of these weather stations are receiving more rain and less snow over this period. so, we are see inging rivers flowing

with the map with the red that snaked down following the freeway. i wondered if you had any thoughts about how freeway ramps are a danger but also the way they suck the traffic in and spit it out into those high speed streets were people are totally focused on freeway speed and if you have ideas about how we have freeways going through the city and they seem to be nightmares walking around them as well as ramps. special ideas for treating that. you're not on the freeway you're in the city and there's people there. >> i've actually had the opportunity to participate in the western summit community process and they're dealing with a lot of issue about freeway areas and introducing high speed traffic volume and one approach they're recommending is great or gateway treatments and they're writing that in to their community plan. thank you. >> hi.. susan king in walk san francisco. one of things noticed is massive gridlock where cars continue to go through the intersection after the light has changed forcing pedestrians to string their way through the int
