my name is margaret jacobson. i reside at 2761 scott street and agree with all the previous speakers. i would like to point out that this lack of review by the planning department and quick-paced approval of the so-called permits is a blatant insult to the residents that followed proper proceeder. my husband and i and four sons have lived there for 15 years we looked to make minor renovations to a house that was not physically safe or earthquake proof. we were denied because the house was deemed historic. when asked why, we were told it's because herb cane resided in the house for one year when he was between divorces in the 1960s. our front porch collapsed and our garage flooded. now we're engaged in a project done under duress and in emergency. i urge the planning department and the board of supervisors to scrutinize this project the way that our properly permitted project was scrutinized over the past five years that it took to get the permits to make the renovations necessary so it does not collapse. >> presid
