we have a newspaper, the "noe valley voice," next door noe valley, there's been no community meetings that i've been aware of -- >> can you hold up? >> excuse me. are we okay over there? all right. go ahead. all right. see if we can control them all. >> go ahead. >> all right. so i'm one of those residents that apparently this handful of people, once i heard about this, i really took a good look at 27th street. there's, like, ten houses there. they all have garages. i don't even understand what the issue is. that's how blind sided i am, but i'm asking you, please, don't change the hours, and if there is this process, i'd like to go through the proper procedure with supervisor mandelman and the community meeting. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, william. >> mr. president, commissioners, good morning or good afternoon. i became aware of this controversy over -- i don't use douglass park. but i became aware via social media. and i was hearing things similar to the testimony that these people have been giving you today, so i came here today to ask you to vote no on thi

many units in noe valley are being absorbed in large single-family homes. students are disheartened and disgusted with the fact that they don't feel it's a democratic process. neighborhood character. the residential design guidelines being ignored by staff and abused by developers and their attorneys, and the economic and social impact. to quote from my e-mail directly, i said i believe that a greater oversight is needed at the building and planning department to make sure that developers are following the rules that would at least regulate and temper these developments, most especially those that are alterations that may be did he fae facto demoli when they are filed. staff needs to use their considerable professional skills and zeal to make sure that the rules are being followed and neighbors are being informed and active in the process when projects arrive at the planning department, and i guess i would add the building department to that, too. this would help all of our citizens. regulation is not a pejorative. i also urge you to please watch the sfgovt

i think this is another in-fill in noe valley. i think they need to be preserved. you have the discretion to do it. it's a condition you can add. if you want to care -- i know you care about this, and you should because that comnates the planning chigs, and they never talked about the facade at all because they were bedazzled with the second unit. and i just wanted to say thank you. >> clerk: thank you. >> thank you. >> clerk: we will now hear from mr. sheard. >> overhead. you can see the height in there is exactly the same. these are what came with the brief, and these are the plans. they're the same, so they may have done sort of outdoing the height earlier, but i agree what was said at the d.r. request, president hillis said quite clearly he wouldn't like kindly on increasing the height. as for the depth of the building, the buildidepth of t building is the most you can build on that lot. it is right on the back of the lot. my lot came out to the lines. and you still have to have 25%. that's why that's like it is. this step back is back of the r.d.g.s -- this st

another home in noe valley where police officers found the about it. >> that's where sergio quintana joins us live and sergio, what >> we know that police put out a brief statement this afternoon saying there was a man who walked into the mission street police station this mning and there that his friend might have killed someone and then just a few minutes later officers arrived at this house right here, this red one. and they found a dead woman inside. now at this point police have not released any information about the victim except to say that officers arrived here after being tipped off about the possible homicide. they called in the medical examiner he is pronouncing the william woman dead. they were called to a address on a president pto. a man tried to atrophy out of the of the house and was met by armed officers who took him in cutchesers t custody as having bloodied hands and clothes. police have not released much information about how or we this happened. i did talk with a neighbor at the other address who basically said that officers arrived at around 10:00. that's about

i live right at the border of glenn park and noe valley, and my dog park is the upper noe rec center. we are a dog run, decompressed granite. i do go to upper douglass occasionally. it is closed i think about four months, maybe longer, and when it is closed, our dog run and the surrounding ones do feel pressure. people are always welcome, and we don't mind it, but it does impact the smaller parks. i think there's been a little bit of a disservice the way the department has represented the resolution to you. it actually, this resolution, has three different or four different now time recommendations. one is from the department staff, one is from a friends group, one with is from a neighbors group, and the other is from your own operations committee, and what's missing here is more of a debate and a real community-driven process. i know the department likes to call it a community-driven process, but there hasn't been an opportunity for a majority of the park users and neighbors to really come and give you some feedback or meet as a group. i think there is a solution. i think you've hear

this property is a historic two-story, single family home in the rh-2 zoning district in noe valley. the project was approved and again this is a real project for a one had -- one-story vertical addition. a two-story rear addition. the building went from about 2100 square feet to just shy of 3,000 square feet. under the current rules, this was not a demolition. this was subject to section 311, neighborhood notification. it went through all of the design review, it complied with the residential design guidelines, as well as the secretary of the interior standards for the treatment of historic properties. and it went through notice without any d.r.s being filed by neighbors. under the proposed ordinance, this project would be considered a demo under the building code, due to the amount of interior demolition exceeding 75% of floors -- floors and walls. even if that interior demolition, let's say was reduced down to 74%, it would trigger the 319 major expansion, as it exceeds the c.e.u. triking for f.a.r. right now the f.a.r. trigger placed at .6f.a.r. so any -- the addition of the size

i live in noe valley and i'm a member of the a.i.a. public policy action committee. stop illegal demolitions and mergers is a worthwhile goal and it sounds great. but the legislation, the way it's written, reaches far beyond that mission. the proposal is written more like a wish list of various interests. it has a grab bag of regulations, which will have a lot of unintended consequences. and will ultimately undermine the city's stated goals of providing more housing and retaining families. a lot of measures run counter to the goal of retoring and retaining existing housing stocks has been said today, for example. classifying the removal of dry rot and temporary removal of structural elements during construction as demolition. it's not productive. these are important issues. and i would hope that they could be resolved with the planning department and the building department, working carefully together. it's not the purview of the board of supervisors, even mr. hepner acknowledged that he did not understand the case studies presented. i urge you to reject this legisla
