there was an exterior marina on the north side of the pier, a light vessel marina. we found there were non- compliant issues in the existing building. michael contributed to that. is there anything you want to say about existing conditions? >> i want to point out the last permitted application for the ground floor was for restaurant uses. that is not how the spaces were actually utilized. >> there were some construction documents that went to the billing department at the port. permits were issued. the construction that resulted was never completed. they never occupied it as a restaurant. the types of code violations were discovered included fire safety and exiting violations. this is an obstructed egress on the second floor. fire and life safety issues with the doorway with a six-foot opening. it is supposed to be a minimum of 6'8". >> when you modify a building, you cannot have steps in the path of trouble -- travel. there are head clearance issues and others in this one particular area. there were multiple mechanical and blogging code violations. -- plumbing code

pick up your radio, tell the marina residents shelter in place. don't go to your staging area out in the marina green. shelter in place. that may be one of your options. choose a room with no windows, as few as possible. pick a room with toilet, water, phone, have it large enough for family members. precut plastic with duct tape. there should be a law. have your disaster kit in that room, have snacks available for kids. turn off the hvac, heating, ventilation air conditioning units because you don't want to be blowing in or sucking in the vapor cloud outside. fireplace, close the dampers and seal off your shelter in place room by using duct tape and terms of the emergency alert system. listen to the radio. that's it. do not try to call the school, try to pick up your children because do you want to leave the area? no, you want to shelter in place. people own pets. do not risk your safety for pets. in summary, it is likely you are at an incident that may be involved with bnice, your safety is the most important. limit your time, get your distance a

think of the the marina and that's the best case for your neighborhood. >> okay. come on over and have a seat an we'll talk about buildings, you house and what kind of problems you might have and what you can do to help solve your problems at home. i have on our screen some typical san francisco buildings most of the buildings in san francisco are wood frame, over 90 percent. typically they're light weight and relatively strong, generall strong. in most cases, wood buildings are strong because they have lo of interior partitions as well. >> there's a lot of flexibility when i'm pushing you, the building the flexible, he's moving around. >> right. >> so this type of building is great as long as there isn't critical flaws. >> which is the good thing to see what is a g. >> gravity. you weigh 100 percent of gravity. >> that's me. >> if lawrence weighs 100 pounds, one gravity down means he weighs 100 down. an earthquake is creating horizonal acceleration this way at the ep pi center, the ground was shaking the buildings at roughly 50 percent. so that would be pushing l

there are letters from the marina community association. one from a resident. there are letters attached in support of the application. in the letter, there are a variety of conditions that are being suggested. if you take a moment to look through your packets, you have seen the variety of possibilities. staff is recommending conditional grant with conditions that are up to you as the commission. >> cleaning. my name is marsha garland. my firm was retained after two of the conditioners. we specialize in outreach and our task was to meet with the relevant and significant individuals in the community. people with a vested interest and the collected bodies in the community and we have done that. the venue as you know used to be gravity. which has a history we do not want to go into. the current owner has gone to a great deal of trouble and expense to turn a nightmare into a place of beauty. we have had debates about whether there is enough -- this was an old sign. it was found nearby from an old gin and baht could distillery. that is why it is called that. -- gin

we are in the marina district. it looks like this. all of these houses behind it, they are all three or four story structures. on the opposite lot, all three or four story structures. on the road itself, predominantly three or four story structures. every one of these back lots is a parcel with a three or four story structure on it. to do this with numbers, in the two blocs, 87% of the homes are three or four stories. on the street itself, 71%. on the subject blog face -- block face, 72%. the facts speak for themselves. this is a three or four story neighborhood. we would like to join the other three and four stories in the neighborhood with a third story of our own. a way to notice this tile roof on the top because it will be significant in a moment. here is what this is going to look like from across the street. you have approximately 2.5 feet of the third floor that shows above the front roofline. nothing at all like the other picture you saw. this was computer-generated from the plants. it is accurate. i am running at a time. am i

this is webster at filbert street in the marina. around san francisco odd buildings abound and this thing is in somebody's backyard and all over we see the incremental development and they have a porch and rail and walls up and here we have in somebody's backyard a fence that has become a wall and now fully occupied. >> it's a green house. >> and next year living quarters and pretty soon a manufacturing facility. lam bar lombard strd this building has contentious past and the owners want to lift it up and put a story underneath and the reason they want to lift it up throughout the city street elevations have been adjusted and as the streets get improved and the city heights don't get adjusted and many driveways go down into the garage. >> or windows below the street that makes no sense. >> and the streets of elevated and graded and of course the building settles but not that must have and the original flow of the thi-- floor of the build. >> i of in the building. >> me too. >> you are looking at the second floor now. >> the first fl

we had discussed the arrangement of marinas with staff. they understood that that was the improvement the committee would make. under the dda, the port would enter an exclusive negotiating agreement. the authority would be obligated to get all of the permission to build a marina in this location, including permission from bcdc. staff explicitly addressed this point and said that the proposal going forward or to build a marina in that location, there would be a requirement to identify a new open water basin to replace this open water basin. so, i think the policy makers have their eye on this issue and will continue to work with the event authority on it. commissioner campos: one question that i have, going back procedurally to something that supervisor avalos was noting, i do think that the -- there is a danger in simply sending this forward to the board without making some of the amendments that clearly, members of this committee want to see made. i think that the idea of taking our time and may be coming back for this committee to come b

marinas built -- i would note that dredging is not mandatory and the rent credits can be applied to something else besides the are read. the incentive to get any facilities done to support sailing and boating on the bay are almost insignificant. to be blunt, it's like vaporware. against this context, you have to ask what you get out of this deal. i thought your own ceqa findings to the good job in noting that it would generate interest in the sport of sailing. the problem is neither the court nor the city can meet the current interest that we have in san francisco. we are already one of the world's capitals for sailing. that is well known. there are no public boatyard facilities for sailing this side of the bay bridge. there is no public hoist to put your boat into the water. the wait for a berth at the two city parade is is 10 years. there is tons of demand for facilities. -- birth at the two city merinos is 10 years. the facilities for small boating in san francisco are rapidly being eliminated. the ongoing renovation you are familiar with at the san francisco marina will eliminat

a lot of concern were raised about views, the impact of developing in front of those marina piers. this has been a wonderful solution, took a lot of sensitivity on everyone's part to understand those concerns, while at the same time, making sure we've fulfilled the eir. we are working for different sets of hands as we are moving the acr event forward. i want to once again praised mr. barkley's participation. he is learning what it is like to do business with the city. he is learning, has kept a calm approach -- perhaps not at the beginning. there was a high level of anxiety. we have a lot of other decisions that need to be made, so it is my style to make sure that we set a foundation where we can talk with each other and present those challenges so that we can make agreements. each of us gives up something to having said that, this event is moving forward. the cruise ship terminal is moving forward. the races -- you will start to see the smaller boats in august. 8000 jobs. that is not just a promise. that will be a reality here. very soon, you are going to see their activity on pie

supposed to be 24-hour security at the marina. one, when you fire up a boat with that, they make a lot of noise, and somebody should have heard something going on. >> reporter: alameda police found a woman, unidentified and uninjured, on the totalled boat. she was drunk and uncooperative. she claims a second woman had been on the boat with her. at first saying her friend left on a rowboat and then saying she run away on foot. despite her condition and the red flags in her story the coast guard sent a helicopter up twice. several boats patrolled the waters to look for the possible missing woman while alameda police looked on nearby streets. ive harrington who lived at marina for 20 years says whoever was behind the wheel ignored all navigational signs. >> you don't want to be on the wrong side of the boyies because there rocks and it's shalie. you have to say what were they trying to do? >> reporter: back here live, boat we're told by surveyors, is a total loss. you can see it's at a dangerous angle, so they are trying to wait unti

in the marina people said it felt like a minute. if you are covering yourself under the table and it's shaking what will happen in 30 seconds? you look up, where's the table. hold on to the table. if you are inside, stay in don't go from the known to the unknown. if you are downtown in an office building or shopping at macy's, do you run in the middle of the street? no. you stay where you are. how much time do you have? seconds. you have to make a decision within seconds. if you run to the street what will happen? >> get hit by a car. you have windows, glass to fall on you. high rise. if you know where you are, stay there than to go somewhere you don't know what's there. once it's shaking between 30 seconds to a minute and once it's over, things will fall and tip over. give it time to move around. of course, if there is danger coming to you, you want to move. so, picture these buildings. against the wall. will i go behind this wall? lean against it, cover my head? no. the pictures frames. if they come off and hit me on the top of th

this is news is next with marina. hello and welcome to business here and i think al the price of flights to europe is about to get more expensive and efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions the block is imposing a new carbon tax on any carrier that flies inside or to the region and this is being strongly opposed by nearly every other major nation and his diplomats are currently meeting in moscow to discuss their response and business and it seems to fit in with erica is there for us. a trade is brewing in the skies over you like many conflicts before this is over both ideology and money. forty three nations including the largest economies in the world are fighting the lateral move to charger lines for carbon emissions the international air transport association which unites all major passenger and cargo airlines says the system isn't as it should be imposed globally not to region the airline industry already pays enormous taxes in europe we're supposed to be to cover the environment that's the airline perspective but

portnoy she is in new york marina why such a change in the u.n. if indeed this report is true. but how well bill if indeed this these reports coming out are true i it clearly indicates that western countries are yielding to the demands of russia china many other members of the security council that have said the council should not be used as a tool to impose regime change in syria or any other country throughout the world that the street security council should work in facilitating a dialogue and coming up to peaceful solutions and as you mentioned there are several reports coming out that this new draft resolution on syria does drop the call for syrian president bashar al assad to step aside and hand over his powers to his deputy that is something that the arab league with the support of the u.s. and western countries wanted in addition this new draft according to reports also removes the reference of stopping the flow of arms to syria this was also a big concern for russia and other countries because there are there are opposition groups in syri

fortunately going to live from moscow eleven am here on marina joshua into the program how the u.s. is intensifying its campaign against the syrian regime despite the course for reform adopted by the government of a conflict torn country and the latest verbal attack secretary of state hillary clinton said president assad could be labeled a war criminal because of the syrian violence that's just as the syrian leader signed a new draft constitution which promises democratic change parties got it to count as more from washington. secretary of state hillary clinton says syria's president bashar assad fits the definition of a war criminal she was testifying at a senate hearing on tuesday take a listen based on definitions of war criminal and crimes against humanity there would be an argument to be made that he would fit into that category but she stopped short of saying the international community should bring up charges against president assad pointing out that such a step often makes it difficult for a leader to step down it's very much obvious that the goal in washington with regards

joins us live now from new york hi there marina i understand that a vote was just passed what is the latest. that's right there was an overwhelming majority of the general assembly that voted to support this draft resolution and one hundred and thirty seven countries voted in support twelve against and seventeen abstained there were just about three countries that had problems with voting but overall those are the numbers that were immediately given that clearly signals that the majority of u.n. member states do support this resolution that has been adopted now what it does is it supports and fully puts its efforts behind the arab league plan a plan which calls for syrian president bashar al assad to step aside and hand over its power his powers this draft this is now it's a resolution the resolution also condemns syrian authorities for violating human rights fundamental freedoms and using force against civilians and even killing protesters why some countries voted no against this resolution countries including china and russia is because they argue that this resolution is not balanc
