presentation and i thank you for your consideration of this item. >> supervisor tang: thank you, mr. starr. were there comment outreach or comments that the commission or department received on the potential extended hours of operation? >> there were no comments during the planning commission hearing. >> supervisor tang: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i was curious what other types of uses fall under this category. >> supervisor tang: mostly, it's like your corner store that you see in residential districts. sometimes a restaurant or an architect's office. >> supervisor kim: legally nonconforming but grandfathered in in the '70s? >> right. and the board passed something that allowed them to be re-established if they go out of business. so then conditional use authorize can be obtained to open up in the commercial spaces again. >> supervisor kim: retail, low-impact office and spaces like these that are arts and -- is it general assembly, too? >> i'm not sure what chicken john's is considered. it must be a general entertainment or something like that. >> supervisor kim: thank you very mu

so mr. starr will be sending the file back to this committee and making amendments so tend it back to the planning commission for further conversation. but thank you, mr. fire marshal, for coming today. wanted to have a conversation about we have heard some general -- and i did convey this to you, some general concerns from project sponsors. and if you can speak a little bit about the fire code as it pertains to single-family homes versus multiunit properties and what the difference is. >> so with regards -- first of all, dan decostio, fire marshal. happy to be here. that's a good point to make that designation, where you have -- differentiate between an r. 3 which is a single-family or two dwelling units or a multifamily dwelling unit which is three or more units, which is more like an apartment building. so if it's an r 3, a single-family dwelling unit, and you're adding or proposing an a.d.u. for your home, an in-law unit, let's say, that does not fall in the jurisdiction of the state fire mars

kavanaugh worked for mr. starr. spite his objections, helping to assemble a case that the president had an affair with monica lewinsky, and obstructed justice by trying to cover it up. mr. kavanaugh pressed mr. starar to aggressively question on the details of his sexual relationship with miss lewinsky. mr. kavanaugh's decision to return to mr. starr's -- the brutal ways of washington combat. the -- epithets republicans used to describe the efforts of special counsel robert mueller. if you go to the opinion section post" thishington morning, it is the senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley who writes about a document request from democrats about mr. kavanaugh. kavanaugh's record is enough. saying we have a nominee with an extended judicial record that provides for more insight into his philosophy. the judiciary has requested up to one million pages of documents from his time as a government lawyer. all told the volume of documents to be reviewed could be more than the last five nominees combined. than 17,000to more

starr at an appreciation dinner in 1999. >> maybe i'm an optimist, but one day, i, for myself, hope to be able to call him mr. arr. >> of course, now, it is brett kavanaugh who could end up being justice kavanaugh. much of this strategy that was put together by the white house and team kavanaugh was, in fact, designed and tailors to susan collins, to show that kavanaugh, in their view, is a qualified judge and not a partisan figure. collins said, that's part of it, but i want to make sure somebody has good judicial precedent and understands the importance of it. all eyes on collins today, jeff. >> she said it is important to uphold roh v-- roe verse wade. >> he considered it precedent. that was my judgment, as well. i was glad to hear him say that at that time. obviously, it is an issue that i'm going to raise with him. >> so, that is clearly part of the playbook for her today. >> absolutely. it is part of the playbook for the people opposing his nomination, to put pressure on her and others who feel the same way. >> i think it is also important to remember just how powerful susan collins is. she's consistentl

starr, theead investigator at the clinton scandal. >> maybe o i'm animist but one day i for myself hope to be able toallim mr. justice starr. >> and what else can you tell us about kavanaugh and what we should be watching. >> reporter: a big day and morning for him. he is going to have the mos important meeting of the whole process so far, the one withsa collins of maine. she's a moderate republican,er cons a pivotalwing vote. it feels like everybody on both sides of this are familiar with the stakes here. the official said the entire h pa been designed partly to appeal to collins to show that he is a qualified judge and not we asked collins about that, she said that's part of what she nts to see, but she's looking for someone who respects dicial precedence. >>> much more to get to this morning, including the investigation into a rare and deadly alligator attack in south caroimna. the vi a woman who was walking her dog at the time. here's nbc's kerry sanders. >> reporter: it was a routine walkk that t an unthinkable turn. authorities in hilton head, south carolina say 45-year-old cassandra kline waser walking

starr at an appreciation dinner in 1989. >> maybe i'm an optimist. one day i hope for myself to be able to call him, mr. ice starr. >> hallie, what else can you tell us about kavanaugh and what we should be watching? >> well, big day today for him, savannah, particularly a big morning. he's going to have what may be the most important meeting of this whole confirmation process so far, the one with senator susan collins of maine. she's a pivotal swing vote in this confirmation. it seems like everybody on both sides of this understands the stakes here. an official familiar with this process says that the entire part of it has been designed partly to appeal to collins to try to show kavanaugh is a qualified judge and not a partisan figure. we asked senator collins about that. she said that is certainly part of what she wants to see. she's also looking for somebody who respects judicial precedent. bottom line, a lot of eyes will be watching that face to face later on today. >> a biggie. thank you. >> much more to get to including investigation into a rare and deadly alligator attack in south carolina. the vi

circuit kenneth starr. mr. being undermine every step of the way, every single day in the press, by those whose sole mission is to attack and impugn the court appointed prosecutor and additionally created process. and these attackers are not the journalists or the broadcasters. what troubles me the most these reckless attacks, these ruthless onslaughts are being carried out by the closest advisors to the president of the united states. >>> wow. that's mitch mcconnell. we think talking about the trump investigation, and all those attacking robert mueller, but john meacham, talk about parallels between what mitch mcconnell was complaining about in 1998, and what is actually happening 20 years later for an investigation against bill clinton that went on twice as long and didn't produce one tenth of the results that robert mueller has already produced in a year. >> yeah. you know, clips like that make you understand to some extent why people dislike washington. you know, you don't need to reach very far for an expl

mr. president i'm deeply troubled today because judge starr's pursuit of the truth is being undermined every step of the way every single day in the press by those whose sole mission is to attack and impugn the court appointed independent prosecutor and the congressionally created process. >> ball, is it as simple as this was then, and this is now? >> i think that's it. there is nothing worse unanimous a situation aal ethicist. it has flipped for mitch mcconnell. jack and i were on opposite sides of the clinton disputes beck than n the day. but to turn around now and say what is sauce for the goose is no longer sauce for the gander -- it's pretty transparent, actually. >> jack? >> right. that's absolutely right. >> okay. ? although, judge cavanaugh hasn't had any trouble changing his mind. >> that's for a whole other conversation. thank you both. >>> the president says his white house counsel is not a rat like john dean, which shows that the president looks at the former nixon lawyer as the villain in watergate. let's get into that get our history straight. and as the president launches insu

mr. mueller and your team the, were empowered to do which was to check into russia collusion. has nothing to do with that at all, so you're right. but like ken starr'spun into different things. i'm just wondering if mr. mueller is less interested in why he was empowered in the fist place -- to investigate russia collusion with the trump campaign -- than he is in getting rid of donald trump. >> well, i think there's no question that he's going to have a report here that tries to say, well, maybe he didn't find collusion, but maybe it was close and there was obstruction of justice and all of these facts. and i think that he's going to try the ken starr route. if he does it before this congressional election, i suspect like in '98 it will boomerang, and if he does it after, he'll see which way congress goes to see if he can get impeachment, although it's a fruitless exercise in the absence of any evidence that the public doesn't know. everybody saw the firing of james comey, everybody knows his story in the terms of what he did in these investigations. you know, the whole thing now has become a national waste of time and preoccupation when we should be

mr. mull her haseller has a conflicts also. you know that. >> we begin with our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. that was the president today but i want to ask you about this letter. the letter from 15 former intelligence leaders. two more names just added to this list. how unusual is it for them to come together like this? >> well, you know, this is pretty unusual stuff here, because we're in uncharted territories, dare we say that again, about president trump taking away security clearances on the basis of a political development. no accusation that we have seen that any of these people disclosed classified information. that is the factual reason you take away someone's clearance almost all of the time. so now we have 15 former officials, seven former directors of central intelligence including bob gates who also served as defense secretary. he's a critical voice in all of this. he's the ultimate quiet man. he doesn't go out and talk a lot in public. when he talks, when he signs on to a letter like this, it gets noticed. let go back and take a look at what some of this letter from these 15 peo

mr. manafort's fate. the jury yesterday asking the judge to redefine reasonable doubt. joining me now to share their insights, former number two during the ken starrhitewater investigation. let me start with the president. norms are broken every day in this presidency. for a president of the united states, forget the name, any president of the united states to speak publicly during a trial of somebody -- this trial is mostly nothing to do with the trump campaign, but to speak publicly about a trial while a jury is in the room, huh? >> very troubling. he's got his own justice department prosecutors. it's not just mueller's people. he's got his own doj prosecutors there working on that case. i think what's really going on here, unfortunately, is it only takes one juror to get a hung jury. one of our final trials was in the eastern district of virginia, when i worked for ken starr. the jury deadlocked 11-1 for conviction. we talked to the jurors afterwards. there was one person on that jury who was not going to vote against bill clinton. all you need is one juror. that's one of the things that makes the president's comments so very disturbing. >> so

mr. manafort. rishaad: how has donald trump reacted to it? it seems he reacted the way bill clinton did with the ken starr investigation, i.e.itchhunt. >> there are echoes of that. to basically called as a witch on penn state this had nothing to do with him. he mentioned paul manafort and said it was a sad thing and he was a good man, but he himself had no involvement. he did not mention michael cohen in those charges. again, he was focusing on calling this a witchhunt and politically motivated. ,hat is the case he is making that this investigation by robert mueller sought to undermine him personally rather than looking at the collusion aspect. he continues to indicate there was no collusion. that is the case he is making. he has been playing into the public for some time, but now there are the convictions. haidi: what is next procedure ely and the implications for donald trump? >> in the manafort and gates, it will be a presentencing report. his lawyers have asked for 30 days to come back. he faces seven years to 10 years under these counts. it is likely the robert mueller team will seek to speak to him, and perhaps for a l
