nancy tucker. >> good evening. i am here representing the 249 sheply street h.o.a. which is within 300 feet of the 347 fifth street property. since i moved into 249 shipley street in december of 2006, i have heard nothing but negative things about the tourist hostel that occupied 347 fifth street previous to november, 2006. the owner and his partner have not done anywhere near the amount nor type of community outreach that the residents south of market expect. i personally never received any notice of any community meeting, via email or u.s. email. when i asked how the contact list was compiled, it was compiled using only names of people that had contacted the owner's representative's office relative to the project. a very reactionary effort in my opinion. i personally researched several addresses of hotels owned and or operated by the owner and his partner. not limited to but including 347 fifth, 589 post, 64 turk, 6093 market, 74 sixth street. these addresses were provided to me by the owner's representative. i primarily use the city of san francisco complaint tra
