[agenda item read] >> clerk: note on february 28, 2018, the board voted 5-0 to continue the appeal to allow time for the parties to discuss settlement. so we've had a hearing on this matter, and so each party will get three minutes each total, no rebuttal, and we will hear first from the appellant. >> good evening. francisco gutierrez, attorney for the appellant. before cutting into the time, i would have a request. we do have three speakers, but the way we have postponed the hearing and continued it to this date was to meet and try to settle this matter with bureau of urban forestry. we d

mr. sanchez. >> thank you scott sanchez planning department the subject at 826-828 does allow for three dwelling units in 2016 the property owner sought a letter of determination to remove the notice of special restrictions since that time planning code requirements have changed to be less burdensome for dwelling units and one of the reasons was that a third unit added would have to provide accessible parki ng place and while that provision exists does allow that to be satisfied with bicycle parking. when you are adding one new unit you don't trigger the requirem ent, now it's two or more units in the subject's zoning district. we issued the letter of determination and released the special restrictions to remove that restriction from the property and must meet all planning and zoning requirements . in march of 2017, the appellant filed the subject variance application because the proposeed third dwelling unit does not meet feasible open space of the planning code subject for hearing in august of last year. as we review the cases about a month ahead of the hearing date, staff brought the item to

mr. sanchez, and i understand this hearing is just to adopt the findings. the project sponsor mentioned several upgrades. how many stories is the project now? >> they can address that readily. i don't have it off the top of my heads. >> he said -- is it three? it's four now? >> three. >> three. >> so adding the -- it's one unit, that doesn't automatically trigger soft story retrofit or anything like that, does it? i'll get them in the rebuttal then, thank you. >> 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?

mr. sanchez? >> commissioner sanchez: yez, thank you. so this policy has to do with students whose assignments are revoked due to residency fraud, and the committee had taken it up earlier and staff had asked the committee to come back with more information. we had a longer discussion about it last week. director rosina tom came and addressed the committee requesting a period of time for students to stay out of school that they had found to be fraudulently enrolled in right now. so we had kind of a little disagreement in committee about the time. we landed on essentially a month, so after a student has been deemed to be in the school fraudulently, the student will have about a month to depart the school. and the discussion really focused around really -- essentially, it's punishing -- dr. merase, you might want to chime in, too, punishing students for the miss deeds of their parents. so we really struggled with that. but at the end of the day, we came to the conclusion that they'll have a 14-day appeal process and then a 15-daytime to le

mr. sanchez? 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. >>

mr. sanchez. >> thank you. whereas fair month elementary at 65 chenery street is a renowned school with a long tradition of -- and whereas fairmont was established circa 1864 and established the first p.t.a. in the state of california and whereas according to the glen park neighbors, evelyn rose, fairmont has a historic legacy, the tract platted during the civil war is one of the older neighborhoods in san francisco. for more than 150 years, fairmont school has educated children. and whereas the fairmont community is dedicated to ensuring that all of its student, 71% latino, 13% white, five% african american, i think it's about 34% asian, have -- and a deep love of learning, and whereas the community has committed itself to the proposition of renaming the school to delores huerta elementary school because she has dedicated her life to improving the lives of others. and her commitment to creating a space of awareness and justice based on evidence of hard work, sweat, tears and blood in her own unwaivering resolv

mr. sanchez brought up an overhead that we didn't have those windows there many years ago. you know, properly line windows, i think the permit holder, as far as i know, and i've met him on a daily basis sometimes twice for the last week. has never said to me or disputed the fact that these windows were legally permitted or disputed our notice of violation. that was news to me saying that the windows were with a permit. i'd like to see that permit. the d.b.i. inspector who issued the notice certainly said he couldn't find eye permit for this work. i don't know what comes first -- to answer your question, we're now dealing with the permit to legalize the openings on the windows for the windows. so, i guess, if you want to know what comes first, the roof deck came first because it was first to get a permit issued. >> ok. >> there's what ki came first te permit or the windows? they were done by previous owners. this gentleman, i'm pretty certain he didn't do the work. he has taken care of work done without a permit by a previous owner. so we do appreciate that. >> i have multip

mr. sanchez expressed a first commitment to being a good neighbor and working with the cultural district to advance our goals and cultural celebration and visibility, community development and economic and social justice. we are happy to support a filipino business that is community-minded and has committed to working and creating opportunities for local organizations to create entry level job opportunities in the district. and there's an interest to work with our arts and culture committee to create additional art pieces in the space to celebrate filipino culture. we're excited that the executive order bar and lounge has committed to hosting six annual pop-up dinner for aspiring filipino food businesses and to explore the commissary for the kitchen for growing food businesses and the hopes for our pastry chefs to provide baked goods for his daily coffee program. we're hopeful that the executive order lounge will continue to contribute to creating a lively commercial corridor for the cultural district and creating commercial corridors is one of our top challenges for the cultural distric

mr. sanchez? >> diego sanchez, planning department staff. i would like to reiterate the planning commission's recommendation. it was very much in support of this ordinance. voted anonymously to supervisor report this with the modifications that supervisor stefani had mentioned. and they did this because they thought these modifications would help to improve the legalization process and implementation going forward. so that concludes my presentation. as mentioned, i'm here for questions. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. all right. seeing no other comments, questions. we'll open up item 4 to public comment. any members of the public that wish to speak? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed on item 4. supervisor stefani, if you want to make a motion. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, supervisor tang. i would like to move this forward to the full board with positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: john givner. >> this will trigger a continuance in land use. so the committee should continue it and send it out next wee

obviously, mr sanchez would have a better idea himself. that was not something i was able to? from our system. i do know that to -- from our knowledge, it does not happen unless it is within the context of what the letter says. which is a lawsuit or appeals. if there had been discretion, that the zoning administrator would have strongly considered using it in this situation because of all the reasons we have mentioned. nothing has really changed. they basically got it ready to be issued within a year and when they were ready to move forward with it and the issue with the n.s.r., not including the three year requirement which we have not changed. if he felt he had that discussion he would have strongly considered using it. but ultimately it was his determination that he did not have that determination. >> commissioner honda: a comes to mind, we had eight brotherhood way that had not been active on the permits for 15 or 20 years. we voted to allow them to build. that was a planning issue in regards to a variance. >> you may have been. i do not know the specifics of that project.

mr sanchez? >> nothing to say. >> oh, but i have lots to say. >> it was moved to the full board with positive recommendation. >> the recommendation on this item is the board approved board policy. physical education and activity. >> just for the sake of the public, is this the biggest change on the screen. >> the only change on this is to remove the temporary nature of the provision and make permanent alternative means to earn physical education credits, and the purpose of that is to serve students who are in different pathways. >> thank you. the policy received a positive recommendation. >> ok. so did the last one. [laughter] >> ok. i don't have any public comment on this. we are going out -- going to go onto item number 3. high school graduation requirements. >> also, a positive recommendation from the full board. >> any major changes? >> there was no discussion at all. >> no discussion, and no changes. >> we gave this a positive recommendation. it is simply as several groups of students, cultu

mr. trump's insults. boris sanchez was traveling with the president in ohio. >> reporter: president trump making his way to just outside columbus, ohio, on saturday, to the 12th congressional district to campaign for a special election candidate that is in a dead heat with a democrat, troy bolderson running against danny o'connor in a race that should not be this close. frankly we wouldn't be talking about the 12th congressional district were it not for president trump, as it has been ruby red for decades. president trump won it by 11 points, but a recent poll shows that the two candidates are in a virtual tie, a 1 percentage point difference between the two. president trump came here on saturday to try to prevent a blue wave that many have speculated is headed to congress in the november midterm elections. now, president trump spent the majority of his speech touting his agenda, success in the economy, and bashing his enemies including democrats and, of course, the media. the president did mention the russia investiga
