mr. sanchez said, there's a lot of eyes on this project. i doubt it will be missed. you had a question. >> commissioner tanner: public drain age, during public testimony time, some folks are concerned with drain age in the area which would be seem to be the permit holder's issue other than the fact that they might suffer from it, as well. can you speak to how we address drain age from one property to the other or what would be required? >> yes. it's a very good question. basically, everyone's responsible for their own drainage. as mr. sanchez said, you can't drain on somebody's property. unfortunately, it's going to drain downhill. there are occasions -- in this project, for example, if there's drainage, they're going to have to take care of it, the retaining wall, anything like that, they're going to have to take care of it. water can't run from their property on to somebody's property. there may be something just because of the area, and for the lady that got up and said she's got water coming through her garage, she's got a water cable table or something, i would

rajoy for mr sanchez.we had to give him a chance. now sometime after that, we feel frustrated because mr sanchez kept the government prosecutor in the trial, accusing these nine prisoners of crimes which are not acceptable in the modern world and which asked for charges which are strikingly similar — strikingly similar to the final sentences. do you see prime minister sanchez as an enemy now? well, he has certainly deceived us, but he can correct his course, obviously, he can sit down like we're sitting here and start talking about the future and how we can get a democratic solution to this instead of keeping people injail. and as i was saying, of giving direct orders to the government prosecutor which is given orders and instructions by the government and telling him to ask for very severe penalties which finally have been the ones imposed on these people. it is a shame in modern europe. let me shift focus for a moment away from your relationship with madrid to the wider context. i know pedro sanchez myse

mr sanchez is not regarded as a militant nationalist.he is seen as a moderate when it comes to dealing with catalonia. he said this in the wake of the violence. he said "what is needed before dialogue between us and the catalans is dialogue and healing within catalonia itself. catalonia must enter a dialogue with catalonia and what is now at stake is not the territorial integrity of spain, but coexistence within catalonia. 80% of the people in catalonia want to vote. 80% of the people in catalonia think it is unfair to put people injail for their ideas and political actions. we have political prisoners in spain and that has been denounced by the united nations through the working group of arbitrary sanctions. they say release the political prisoners, pay compensation and initiate an independent investigation. civil rights are being seriously violated. seriously, is that moderate? do you think that preventing people from voting for the future, do you think that refusing to sit at a table to talk, do you think that is moderate? let me say

mr. sanchez?thank you. good evening, president swig, members of the board, scott sanchez. i will focus on the comments that the board gave at last hearing and to give you the alternative. i won't try to sway you in the wisdom of the planning commission, but i appreciate the diligent work and quick responsiveness of the appellant and they did address all the concerns and comments we had with regard to the additional a.d.u. the project has been revised to be code complaint. they have addressed the demolition calculations which have been raised at the public comment in the previous hearing. we have issued the memo as necessary for authorizing the a.d.u. and updated the categorical exemption and the environmental review document to reflect the revised scope of work for the project. given that it was denied by the planning commission which action if the board does overturn the denial, this would be the first approval action for the purposes of the environmental review. and i do appreciate this has been

mr. sanchez, anything further mr. duffy? commissioners, this matter is submitted. >> i think we should follow mr. duffy's advice, and file a motion to continue to enable and sort this out. >> we are hopefully not going to see you again. >> maybe we should ensure mr. stegall understands what is happening. >> what we're doing right now is we are continuing this case to a later date but prior to that date coming up, the department is going to work with you. if we cancel your permit, you will be responsible for what you base it of the fees that will -- that you will you lose. they said they could fix the air so there's no penalty involved. and especially since you are willing to work with your tenant , that works for us. >> can you come up here, please? >> the only question i have, when i was at d.b.i., is a regional copy has already been scanned to the archives. it already says unit a. [indiscernible]. >> joe duffy, d.b.i. i would cancel everything. the plan is originally in the record. i cancelled permits of the plans we would

mr. sanchez? okay. mr. duffy? >> this is interesting. >> it is what it is.commissioners, these types of cases here are cause us many, many hours and days and weeks and months of stress. i was the inspector for this area the parking issues and the parking spaces. i believe one of the study tried to -- because of the project and the appearance of -- because of the construction and the parking, they were taking up four spaces. the unfortunate part of it is that the building code is for permits and extending and reviewing a permit. we probably -- i know i have another one of these types of projects in another district. you really just have to keep on people to what is going on. and the store front and probably spoken to the attorney about it. but what do you do? take the permit away and leave it in the middle of the work? and that the cracks weren't caused by her work or whatever. get the project completed. a couple of things from the appellant as well that the identity from the appellant heard that he had an engineer on board. sometimes we have these situations

mr. sanchez but cced a bunch of people projects have extensive remodeling, like alteration and facade from scrutiny of the staff at the untake and so should a simultaneously expansion in the front rear side, horizonally and vertically of any project to attract greater scrutiny. square footage, regardless of the fact maybe within the code attract greater scrutiny which there should be an alert put on the pre-mandatory notice and simple english for all neighbors who may be a novice to the planning process i is to have tt actively encourage questions or call the planner or building department. when a project sponsor makes an application, aren't they affirming that what they're submitting on the plans and in the description of the permit application is true? don't they sign a sheet attesting to that? shouldn't this be more than just a piece of paper someone signs? i went on to say about the crisis of affordability and it seemed like a modest problem and it may be lost as relatively affordable housing but there's existing housing in the portola and bayview and sunset and richmond that needs att

mr. sanchez. i just think it should be an extra entitlement. i think that we need to start treating the climate crisis as a crisis and that there should be an extra step and an extra effort and also extra stuff. if wore going to be going above and beyond and what we have, we should treat it as that because it's harming our world and so i will support this as written. >> i'm sorry. commissioner. >> you will support it as written. what about the other staff? modifications not related to th- >> i will support it as written. all of it. >> without the amendments. >> i can't make a motion. commissioner fung. >> i would support it but with all six amendments. proposed. >> commissioner johnson. >> i make a motion to approve with modification except for modification 2. >> did you want to say something? >> to be clear, the issue that i brought up was recommendation number three to make sure. >> got it. >> thank you for clarifying. with the exception of modification three. >> commissioner richards. >> i grow. >> that a second. >> yes. >> ok. >> >> there's

mr. sanchez. >> thank you. scott sanchez, planning department. it's good to know the board was still tough on variances. >> commissioner honda: it's commissioner fung. come on up, we have an empty seat up here. >> so to correct something that the appellant stated. it's incorrect that each of the floors has the same situation. each of the other floors get their exposure to the front. they're all four flats that face through, so to correct the record there. you know, i will take the information about the, you know, really nice, new, illegal unit and those photos if the appellant can e-mail them to me, and i can discuss that with the zoning administrator and also review the zoning administrator and appreciate that to facilitate that, if the appellant would provide the proposed plans that show the required set of stairs within the required rear yard, and all the improvements that they show, including the habitable space in the back yard. certainly reconstruction of stairs within the required rear yard can pose certain requirement code issues. >> i ha

mr. sanchez, anything? >> we will hear from mr. duffy. >> evening, commissioners. just on the appellant's rehearing request, i didn't hear anything new either. i would sympathize with him on his property line issue, maybe at the rear of the property, but certainly right next to his property where the fence is, it is completely nailed. the fence is attached to the permit holder's property clearly maybe as it goes up the yard, it's towards the rear, there is a possibility goes over the property line, but i don't think so. we are going to see a special conditions permit with the property lines defined on them and i will have a discussion with the permit holder about how those lines were defined. if it was discovered that the fence is over the property line, d.b.i. could follow up with that and -- quite easily by requiring that all work be removed to his side of the property. i think the property line could be something that could be resolved. in the past i have also seen examples where if both property owners could split the cost of the survey, it is only one side of

mr. sanchez. it was mentioned by the appellants the dam upstairs, because it's my understanding, according to the appellants, that this is in an induction. >> i can't speak to that. >> commissioner honda: so is there any potential concerns in regards to that? >> the environmental review didn't find that there are any additional mitigation measures that were needed. it was taken to the board of supervisors on appeal and upheld, so i don't see any issues on environmental review. >> commissioner honda: someone spent some money. okay. thanks. >> thank you. >> clerk: we will hear from the department of building inspection. >> commissioner honda: is this an easier one than the last one, joe? >> i hope so. that was one of the all-time greats. >> commissioner honda: hopefully you get to resolve it before you retire, and you can use that as a stripe on your shirt. >> thank you, yeah. thanks for -- we've got a permit here filed on december 8, 2016 and permit issued in april. this is the site portion of the

mr. mark sanchez. good job. let me tell you what you did this morning. you did a couple things. one, you walked, scooted, road, biked here. you got your heart pumping. second thing you did in walking in riding and scooting and biking. you weren't in cars. that protects our climate. we want you not just doing this today but every day. okay? good job. i said good job. good job. i want to bring up the director of the sfcta. >> good morning, kids, i want you to know the parents and city leaders are working hard for you to have great options to get to school. parents are putting tax dollars to build safer streets. these are the sales tax funds. we are happy to be a partner. thank you, mayor for your leadership and board members on the transportation authority. have a great day.

sanchez: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong support of this resolution to recognize the armenian genocide. this tragedy is one of the most painful moments in our world's history. we owe it to the more than two million victims and their descendants never to forget. it is heart breaking that some choose to deny our past rather hand to -- rather than to learn from this painful moment in history. it's an insult to millions who died and millions who risked their lives to escape violence. dena'il is tulle easy. it's harder to face the truth and facing the truth is the right thing to do. when we rewrite the darkest chapters of our history, we open the door to them happening again. the united states cannot be complicit in that denial. i urge my colleagues to send a resounding message to the world that we stand with the armenian community. we will not forget, we will not obscure. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from texa

mr. sanford: thank you. i want to thank -- ms. sanchez: thank you. i want to thank my colleague from california for yielding me time. mr. speaker, i rise to support h.r. 3144, a bill to designate the united states postal service facility located at 8520 michigan avenue in whittier as the jose ramos post office building. jose ramos was born september 17, 1948, in east los angeles. he enlisted in the army in 1965 while he was a sophomore at garfield high school. mr. ramos served this country in vietnam as an army combat medic, often risking his own life caring for others. mr. ramos was wounded in vietnam and was awarded the purple heart. upon returning home, he was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder, yet his passion and commitment to our country and his fellow service members didn't end. many of our veterans at the time found themselves caught in and confused by the crossfire of the public debate over the war in vietnam. at times, some faced sharp criticism and isolation. mr. ramos saw this and decided that he was going to do something about i
