mr. duffy? >> commissioners this matter is >> president fung: commissioners >> anybody need discussion? if not i'll make a motion. >> move to deny the appeal on the basis of the permit was properly issued. >> so we have a motion from commissioner lazarus to deny the appeal and pull the permit. president fung. >> aye. >> wilson. >> aye. >> swig. >> aye. >> that motion carries. the appeal is denied. we will now move on to item number 7. i don't see a representative from the department here. let me just read for the record. this is appeal number 18-082 subject property 1650 to 1700 owen street mission bay commercial corporation versus san francisco public works bureau of urban force street. appealing on june 5th, 2018 public works order regarding an application in public works order number 187544 to remove 24th vote trees with replacement adjacent to the subject property. denial of the request to remove 14 of the trees with replacement. approval request to remove 10 additional street trees with rep

obviously, like mr. duffy said, if there are drafting errors, that would jump out as a drafting error, but things like that is what we're recommending. obviously, we talked before and i know you're enforcing these on some other projects in the past. the increased enforcement with regard to the senior inspectors going out to the jobs and having the pre-meetings and so on, we're going to implement those policies and procedures going forward. we can talk to that. i just want to make sure we're sending a very strong message to the planning department, we're doing our job the make sure that the checks and balances are kept, please, and then we can close it out. okay? >> a brief comment. i think what's really important in my mind is that we're doing this already. we're acquiring a demolition page on the drawings that makes it very clear what the actual scope and percentages are with regard to the demolition. we're requiring that now. that's really, really important because it's a clear identifier. the other thing th

. >> i think mr. duffy can answer those questions. thank you. >> thank you. mr. duffy? we'll now hear from the department of building inspection. >> before we start, we did miss you during last week's hearing. >> so i heard. >> yeah. >> joe duffy. d.b.i. i'll be here in august. the soft story retrofit -- >> well, i was just wondering if that next upgrade triggered the soft story. i would imagine if they did the next improvement, it would trigger it, correct? >> correct, but it looks like it's not part of the soft story, i don't think. >> thank you. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? okay. please, both of you, if you can come up against the wall, so we can move it along. please approach the microphone and identify yourselves. >> hello. my name is ishoka. i live about two blocks away from this unit, and i just wanted to voice my support of this project. so i've lived in nob hill. it's a very desirable neighborhood and you can easily walk to stores and offices to work. if you want to live in nob hill, people already living in nob find it extremely expen

mr duffy? do? do you have anything to add? >> what a nice surprise. they introduced mark wallace as being the inspector for this evening. >> mark is here in addition to me as well for at the case on some technical stuff. good evening commissioners. joe duffy. d.b.i. this is a planning appeal but i heard in the reference for the building permits. this is for the building permits. this is a common enough occurrence at d.b.i. when we see a permit application with -- may be nine or ten years ago and then there has been delays. i will state that the permit applicants seem to have taken advantage of the building code in relation to extensions on the permit. they came in and paid their fees and they complied with the building code in relation to not letting the permit to be cancelled, file for whatever reason. is in the building code that you can do that. there's various reasons why people do it. it is not our favourite choice, but it is in their. i was looking through the permit details when i read th

the owner of the property has actually pub submitted and mr. duffy has reviewed the plans and we are okay with that. >> i have seen your names on so many permits so glad to connect a face with a name. welcome. >> thank you. >> there were questions asked last time what would it take to bring the plans up to the level that they could be accepted by the building department. one question related to structural openings. what was the result of that. >> the owner provided a sheet for the structurals and it is a field condition review and it is on the the new scope of work, so it's submitted and approved by inspector duffy. >> was the window pattern changed? >> give me one second. i don't believe it changed. >> no additional structure was required? >> no it going to be a condition where he's going to have to hope up some areas to verify the conditions and that is where we will start writing connection notices. >> my question related to the whether the percentage of opening in the wall based upon fire codes are conformed to? >> i believe so, and there is a re

. >> mr. duffy wanted us to revoke the permit and have them resubmit in a proper form that it would then be acceptable based upon the information that the building department would have liked to see. we added additional layers of questions related to how does it relate to the code beside the fact that if one was to try to build it anew, one wouldn't be allowed to do that unless one got an exception or equivalency from the city. >> suggesting an option would be to revoke the permit. >> i think we put the onus on the building department because they would rather that we revoked it last time and see something afresh. i was pushing him to not do that so we can consolidate this process without having to go through multiple player layers of review, multiple appeals, and at least provide some resolution whether anybody would have been happy with that was another issue, but it appears that we may have to continue it again. we can review the drawings to allow them to both be permit holder and the appellant a

i see mr. duffy down there. if you could come up close . i'm going to have questions for you as well. if it's ok for my fellow commissioners to continue with the presentation. next? >> the project sponsor available? >> i just have a prepared statement to give context to this process and a little bit of an update about how the pronltz team is composed today. my name is zack madre. i'm a principle of architect on record for 665 alvarado. i'm here to speak on behalf of john caplan and marcy glazer. the owners and the design team have been working in excess of 10 years to design, document and receive the red cross wi sit approvals for the renovation and expansion of their family home, which they have lived in since 2002. the product was submitted to a discretionary review to which rations were made and ultimately the planning commission approved the project. the renovation of the home was further developed and documented to meet the requirements of the california building code as adopted by the city of san francisco. at the end of november 2016

nothing further, mr. duffy? >> commissioner, sorry, joe duffy, d.b.i. just on the roots of this tree if they are on the property line and there's a new foundation going in there and i haven't seen the drawings, that could be an issue for them. and you want to be very, very careful and try carefully to not impact the roots as they excavate for a foundation and might end up killing the tree. we do end up at d.b.i. dealing with that and it's a very thorny issue. so i wanted to just make that comment. i'm not sure if it's going to be an impact or not. i am not really sure. but i wanted to point out when construction starts people go in there to work and they just start cutting roots and it can be a problem. we do deal with that at d.b.i. >> i think that the issue is that it's likely that this historic building has shallow foundations and the root system is probably underneath that foundation. >> right. >> especially a ficus as very extensive root systems. >> i just wanted to point out that it could be an issue before the work starts. >> clerk: thank you. >>
