commissioner moore: you spoke as if you are. you made statements which acted as if you are an architect. in the drawings i see, i do not see a structural impediment, but i am interested to see what was there before. there is no picture here. i would like to see what people -- what they were as unapproved a.t.m. was it in the same wall? we never had a picture of that. it is in the same spot? we have a rule that a.t.m.'s should be set back for sidewalk reasons and they are becoming like graphic advertisings and moving out of a small functional box into something that loudly advertises banks. that particular issue has never been taken up by the planning departmentos because i do believe that moved into the poster size advertising realm. the reason why i'm saying it here is you come around the corner, i believe that the corner expression of the restaurant is very much in keeping with what we would like a corner to be, but adding an a.t.m. without setting it back into the solid part of the wall and is very inappropriate to me. and i

commissio ner moore? commissioner moore: here we go, when these types of issues come up, i feel i need to sit between two chairs. i believe there is a certain precedent of animosity between both parties, and i would suggest if there have neutral date in which beet can agree, i am prepared to entertain that. but i do not want to be dragged into a disagreement that she said and it was announced. i don't want to go there. i don't believe we sit here for resolving that issue. but if there are two parties that have an issue that they don't agree on, they should come to consensus before education or back, let them come back with a date that works for both of them. vice president olague: we have to make a decision today. well, go ahead. commissioner borden? commissioner borden: maybe i could ask the project sponsor that this architect that you have that couldn't be here today, would the 12th be possible? i mean, if that is the issue that is the difference for you. >> again, it's carl shannon, he's from new york,

commissio ner moore? commissioner moore: , isn't it enthusiasm that your architect of record, in the processes that go on in this room, why do we need the architects to be here. the architect of record -- it's not as much about the building as it is about approving the eir. >> both. >> that leads and that is the one on which you will most testimony? >> in terms of the technical approvals, i can say absolutely, mr. mannis can speak very eloquently to the technical approvals and what is required, probably more eloquently than tom pfeiffer can. we are encouraged by the planning department to bring great architects to san francisco and to build great projects, to do kpr and 555. this is tom pfeiffer's day in the sun this san francisco. i would think you would want him here. >> he's the design architect, so typically we like to have the person who designed the building here for the approval. we recognize they are the architect of record but he is the actual designer of the building. commissio ner lee? commissi

president miguel: commissioner moore. commissioner moore: mr. sugaya, con congratulations for doing a two-sided set of architectural drawings, we mostly see one-sided. i want to make a comment that this is 11 by 17 double-sided. i would like to use it as a standard for others coming in front of the planning commission. president miguel: i'd like to congratulate san francisco jazz in the way nerve's done their outreach and the way they've put everything together. i appreciated mr. calloway's testimony because i know of his work with youth as to latin jazz and that area, and i'm sure that there will be some synergy there without question. i recently met with people from the new orleans jazz preservation society, who will be attempting to place the first outlet, you might say, or the first permanent address, all to they tour outside of new orleans here in san francisco. and i have given information to san francisco jazz about them and vice versa, because there should be synergy between those two also, even though they will be presumably they're tak

commissioner sugaya: i would like to acknowledge commissioner moore's approach.the way that technology is heading, by the time we got around to figuring out locations, we are going to be on to the next technology. we're already seeing clear wire coming to us over the last several weeks with a different technology in cellphone data transmission. they are not using the standard kinds of things that we are talking about on this issue. it is similar, but it is a different approach, a different kind of technology they are using. it is not voice oriented. but with the proliferation of data, i think the increasing desire for data on cellphone and what will be an increasing number of tablets type devices, they seem to have a plan in mind that will capture some portion of that market. we just approved an antenna today, but that was one kind of -- i don't know how you characterize it, but it is quite different that than me -- than the t-mobiles and at&t's of the world. >> it really ties into the type of technology they will allow you to move into the next generation. we ha

michael moore is with us tonight. the oscar winning documentary filmmaker, founder of the traverse city film festival, annual event which kicks off right now and runs through sunday. michael joins us from traverse city, his open space outdoor cinema. why a film festival in traverse city, michigan? >> why not? i guess it's because where i live, but it -- you know, it's like a lot of small towns across the country and in the midwest here where people are just dying to see a good movie and there are so many good movies that don't get distributed. so each summer during this week in traverse city we're on lake michigan up at the top of the lower peninsula in michigan here. we bring 80 or so films, a lot of films people haven't seen before, and from all over the world and it's turned -- this is the sixth year of it and it's -- we've got about 100,000 tickets sold here for the festival. so it's -- it's quite a -- it's -- it's quite a cool thing. we're actually here on the main street of traverse city and behind me is the sta

vice president olague: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: in your short write-up in the commission calendar for today, you are saying that the committee would supervise the consultants and that the consultants would not develop policy. they should basically give tools to develop policy but not be in the business of policy development. is that just written in gist or what is applied here? >> certainly not written in jest and might not have been written well. the city makes the policy and the consultant will help us project that and once we have the information we can make intelligent policies and the consultant doesn't decide policy and the planning commission will make that decision. >> and for anybody who supports this that is particularly spelled out. and the draft policies. and find a serious conflict and nothing that i could afford. >> if staff can note that and i don't think there's any >> and it was in there. >> commissioner antonini? >> and you are now on and we're going to come back in literally 5 minutes and hear

. >> commissioner moore? commissioner moore: two things, last week i mentioned the designs on the facade of the sutter creek block with the hands of syria used to be, where a number of art galleries all of a sudden closed business. it has a very bad effect. it's the corner of taylor and mason and stockton, those particular two blocks. in contrast, i walked downtown with two are three empty storefronts, which have done an exceptional job to leave it looking very attractive. i wanted to mention that the windows are a moment to stop. the galleria has several done in the interim, local artists, and i would love the department to see what can be done to encourage others who are leaving vacant facaded behind to do something similar. it animates those stretches where there are no stores but there are windows to stop and look. the next thing is ann marie copied all of us on the land use and economic development committee's proposed development to candlestick point and the conditions attached to the board of superviso

we were told about the crash in liver moore.t's happening now. >> they're still blocking lanes on 580 westbound at north liver moore. in fact it is actually 580 at spring town, and it is backed up to north liver moore. it is a little lighter than it normally is. so, we kind of dodged the bullet. westbound 580 looks okay. some live pictures now, 880 northbound, traffic is going to be a little slow from here at the coliseum up to downtown oakland. >>> this morning at the bay bridge, traffic movers well into san francisco tonight there's a baseball game, giants and mets in san francisco, and i want to ask my buddy steve, steve, what is the weather like tonight. >> i am bringing a jacket. >> are you? >> yes. >> okay. cool i will too. >> see you from. >> because if you say you come in from inland it could be in the 90s and you will get toward the city and in the city and it will be 60s. so there's a low cloud deck that's regrouped not solid but it is on the coast and has moved inplan in the north bay and around the bay. so there's al

i like to support commissioner moore's comments on the housing. it is not a public housing, it is p.u.d. p.u.d. means something else. having said that, i think this is an incredible effort by all city agencys. the man is fantastic. i love the idea of transforming really -- a -- pavement to park into a three dimensional manifestation of that idea and finding across the city sites which could do the same thing. obviously we have the most competent architecture do this work, mr. herman indeed shines with his contributions to innovative site planning and housing solutions in this particular category. i couldn't be happier to support this project. i do think this -- we should, though, be aware of the neighborhoods concerns. that's fair and that's request we're sitting here. i do think when we approved the pal boa park plan that we -- with ask for city college do really start coordinating parking efforts and really deal with students not completely conjesting neighborhoods. we had that the other day at san francisco university and i do think that there

president miguel: commissioner moore. commissioner moore: i think it's a really good project. i think it fits well, partially because it takes an inner courtyard and adds to a large building, something which really gives it its own meaning, adjoining open space. i'm pleased that we understand the shadow issue. that is important for the public to hear. it's always good to remind ourselves, because those are things that we don't always have at our fingerprints. we're happy to hear that. residential is highly compatible, has an edge to an open space. i also am glad that the architect was able to respond to my concerns, which i expressed in a separate design review. the large commercial space was of concern to me, and i wanted to see a way that we are able to break the space up as well as the linear facade. and he had a number of ways of how you can do that, and i was quite satisfied that that type of thinking is within the way the project is designed. so i am comfortable with that and obviously will support its approval. president miguel: commissioner ant nene knee. commissioner

vice president olague: commissioner moore. >> i have a brief question. the idea itself is very intriguing. i don't understand every aspect of it, but why did you choose as a pilot project rincon versus any other? is that the most needy one or the most immediate one or is there a reason that you could lay out for us of why that is a pilot project? >> the reason is really simple. we have somebody willing to pay for it. we have no money, no budget to do these things and we actually have in this case a public part and a project sponsor who is willing to underwrite the substantial transactional cost of creating and forming the district and so we wanted to take advantage of that to try out a pilot. vice president olague: commissioner sugaya. commissioner sugaya: under one of the modifications there was a statement i was going to make but it's already in here with respect to studying the long-term effects of the financing program and the effect on the general fund it, because my fear also is with tax increment that it doesn't -- since it's not flowing to the ge

russia's nuclear agency, rosatom on wednesday transported the submarine using floats from its mooring site in an inlet in the russian far east 30 kilometers away. in january the agency decided to dismantle the nuclear submarine, saying there was no danger of radioactive pollution. in 1985, during the cold war, an explosion occurred when the submarine, called "echo ii," was being refueled at a soviet navy base in the sea of japan. ten crew members were killed and 290 are thought to have been exposed to radiation. the soviet government had never revealed details of the accident on grounds that they were top military secrets. the sub had been kept off limits since the accident. dismantling work will continue until november, but the reactor, which is still highly radioactive, will remain sealed and kept at a nearby facility. >>> now for a business update with ines matsuyama. ines? >> thank you very much, catherine. >>> the u.s. central bank says the american economy has continued to grow overall but the pace of growth has slowed in some districts. that's a slight downgrade from the bank's

or, you know, "i didn't"-- you know, michael moore is good at it. michael moore is very good about being very funny and pointing out some very serious things that you should be aware of. you know, you should know that the bin laden family funded george w. bush's first oil endeavor. you should know that, and he somehow makes that funny. i don't know how he does it. i do grapple with that. i don't always make it amusing. but i think it's every person's responsibility when they have a microphone and the ear of so many people to--yes, you're a comic; make them laugh. that's what they paid their money to see. but also edify in some way. don't keep lowering the bar culturally. the bar is low enough in our--you know, it's howard stern low. it's very low. and so i don't want to participate in that, in the de-intellectualization of our citizenry, you know? the book you wrote with ben stiller, feel this book, which is largely kind of a parody of self-help books, also had nuggets like this: is that--it also kind of drives your career, doesn't it? you're not do

comissioner moore: i wanted to reflect on what you said. it concerned me there was an expression of distrust in the department. we are a revolving door. some of us make it to eight years, but some of its has a common vision with the public trust, and while they often do not agree with mr. williams, i think it is well-taken, and i have heard from quite a few people who have reasonable efforts to really get across the message. i think it should instill a certain amount of trust in you. i am a little surprised that the department really changed its basic position on it. i do not believe this particular building is an exceptionally good building. it is rather bulky, and it is quite civilized but clear. i want to express my hope that should we come to a situation like this again there will be a little bit more interaction between the commission or educating the public that opinions have changed and the reasons why. it was basically the department supporting something different from what was approved. >> when the department's respectfully disagre
