mr. williams, you would think that this is a 45% sloat. he asks that your planning department stop and do more review them they have done so far. provide the expertise to give that structured engineer -- engineering drawings. if you could have the planning department do that sort of thing, when it comes to you in june, you should double their personnel. you have a department that does that, the building department. bank that -- they make mistakes, then it goes to the board of appeals, which has one of the best architects on into. -- on it. >> in my last minute, i would like to point out that there is an additional report that came in today from my client's soil engineer. i will leave that behind me so that you can put that in the record. the last thing i want to say is this. with all due respect to your board, the board of the -- board of appeals is the place to discuss this. the building department has the expertise to review those drawings. those drawings will be forthcoming as soon as we are about to go forward, should the court of appe

mr. williams might be right. but the documentation did not occur until after the planning commission hearing. but that is not a question to go that is a document. documentation can be done up to the time of the permanent. it has not had a fully-issued building permits. what is important is, did the staff of department analyzed before it's too up to present a new building. did they look at resources on this lot in nearby ones? yes. the fact that they did not read- stamp a piece of paper before that meeting is irrelevant. it is also irrelevant legally according to the city attorney. now, there is no dispute here even from the appellant that nothing on this lot is an historic resource. only secondarily was it allows with the nearby buildings were accepted? -- were affected? the main argument is based on a book written by a socialite many years ago called the blue boat here today." -- "here today." what they did not mention was in the survey of the junior league, which is on the overhead, the junior league says, this

mr. williams. >> thank you. i am stephen williams representing the neighbors association which includes the area of 17th and markets. the environmental exemption was given to this project because the department simply failed to conduct the required environmental review for this project, period. the review was not done. two, the department description was wrong. it is a completely different projects. 3, the wrong categorical exemption was applied because the review was done for a different project. the team even had the incorrect address. as a result, this led the department to award the exemption. this is still incorrect. hopefully you received my -- attached thereto is the internal document in question. please review with. exhibit two is the historic evaluation bonds, and three is supplement to that document he the -- to the document. this is the heart of the appeal. it is stamped on the third page of exhibit 3. this was done for a completely different project, a different address, different physical location.

mr. williams, the floor is yours for up to 10 minutes. [inaudible] >> i am wondering if the microphone at the podium is on. >> testing. >> i am representing the appellant and the surrounding neighbors. this proposed project was granted a categorical exemption in error. this is in a known hazards own. by definition, this is a sensitive environmental area and is the site of what we believe is the only fatal landslide in the history of san francisco. it is in this unusual zone. an attempt to stabilize the soil and the proper review from the department was not accomplished. the project exceeds the maximum of side -- size all-out for a class 3 exemption. it is limited to three single- family homes. although three homes will be built, the fourth home is also involved. the cumulative impacts of the known addition, nearly identical projects, the same area, the same neighborhood may create a significant environmental impact. these projects are not speculative. they are almost certain to occur. the district supervisor has removed himself from the p

mr. william should be released from prison. [applause] he is currently still in prison because the state has an appeal, but the judge basically said, it will be remanded to the same judge at said the evidence was bogus. the police department basically botched all the evidence. they executed more people in harris county than in many states. the judge says by next year this time, they fully expect him to be home with his family after being locked up for more than 18 years, more than half his life. so even just a small part of this victory on the horizon, that has been a blessing and an honor to be a part of that. i have a friend who is a skinhead -- was a skinhead. he was a white guy who used to beat up black people and gay people in texas. when he was the same age of the guy that got into trouble with the law as well, they used to hang outside of dallas. they would wait on a park bench, send a guy out, and when somebody came out to flirt with him, they would beat him up. that was their weekend fun. they would go gay bashing. a s
