mr. spitz, seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues? supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: yes. how often does this happen? i saw the plot map. this line cuts through a lot of different homes. it's a very unusual -- rather than making the boundary even, i mean, obviously, at some point it was drawn at an angle. so sometimes the boundary between daily city and san francisco cuts through some of the homes, so half the home is in daily city, half the home in san francisco. how often have you dealt in this area with the infrastructure requests in terms of sewer, in terms of the street, in terms of the maintenance of the right-of-way. and how is that impacting development over there? >> for dedications, it's not very frequent. it is very common for the county line to go through private property. and we're actually in the process of surveying it to bring it in tighter, to know where it is. but as far as cases like this, it's not happening too frequently as far as dedicated. in this situation, the -- i do have an overhead i could show you. >> supervisor safai:

not looking at planning, that was remarkably cooperative and i'm not looking at dbi, no offense, mr. spitz, i'm looking at the department of public works, where i had to send my staff down get an encroachment permit. it's like -- we need somebody who walks these people through the various steps. i understand why all these laws exist. i'm delighted we live in a society where people don't burn to death in their buildings because we require sprinklers and we verify that people aren't cheating. i realize that different neighborhoods have different desir desires, so we prohibit mortuaries and gas stations in certain neighborhoods, but there is always one other thing at the end of the chain. so this board in record time passed legislation to allow this particular business to locate a half block away. and we did it in less time than it took this owner to get to the bureaucracy, mostly because unknown to us, they were hung at the department of public works over an encroachment permit i didn't even think was necessary. i just want to say, if oewd wants to be a help, it's like track these cases, hav
