president olague: yes. comfortable with that. secretary avery: you wered e you have eliminated -- under e. you have eliminated the same language with 15 minutes. and then you eliminated all of f. and g.. and rechanged the numbers according to the rest of it. president olague: yes. and in the other cases, 2d has the environmental and historic resources be attached to all submittals. so under c, we are going back to 15 minutes instead of 10. we're keeping the language with the minimum of three -- >> go to 10 for the presentation and keep it at 10. president olague: most people don't even take 15 minute, i'll be honest with you. >> i am talking about the project sponsor. >> unfortunately, they always seem to run over time when you give them 15 minutes. i don't think we can cut it shorter. secretary avery: you guys tell me what you want. the project sponsor time or -- president olague: i change it to 15. i go with 15. commissioner borden: i think 15. honestly, granted, sometimes the project presentation is a li

president olague: good for that. and that is in every one of the cases and then the other one is the staff on policy or major project informational presentation at the commission is supposed to get precipitated power points one week in advance. >> we'll bring it with us every week. >> if we don't get it, we will still hear the case? >> and it says december cession and if we want -- it says discretion and so we could say that but make it not so arbitrary. >> there is one interesting thing that happened today at 11:25 a rather potentially important set of comments came in regarding 55 laguna and the person presented here and so when that comes in, the presentation itself does not give enough to understand. and to send it the week before, i would have time to read it and think about it. >> and the public needs to be encouraged to submit public commentary early on. and which you either agree with or not. that is not the point. and somebody wants to make a contribution, but out of respect of time we need to have it in ord

president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: i guess as long as we have some time -- >> now, now, now. commissioner sugaya: it is an ad that shows the clarity of the glass by showing it landscaping, which does wonders for birds. [laughter] i will pass this off to the bird people, whoever they are. i do not remember the website, but this does show the outline of an owl flown into a window. it apparently flew away, because they could not find the al. but the outline is clear because the owl had some kind of powder on its others or something. anyway, i will e-mail this to you guys. president olague: thank you for that. can you keep us posted on when this will be at the board? i think some of us may want to go and give support to the department recommendations. commissioner sugaya: ok. >> commissioners, we can move on to the director's report. the directors announcements. >> thank you, linda. good afternoon, everyone. i want to give you a short updates on staff working with wholefoods on the situation at -- did

president olague: commissioner miguoore? commissioner moore: i would like to be particular attention being given to screens like floating elements. a frames are attachments be invisible to the front elevation of the building, it can be easily done. they are quite capable of doing that. i would agree with the commissioners that he tonality of those letters be very much blend wited with the building. it is an exact contradiction of what we are trying to do. commissioner sugaya: i will support the motion. i just did not want to compromise -- anyway, never mind. >> you have a motion on the floor to approve this recommendation. you have some modifications, a slimmer basis. i'm not sure of this. i think it's muted screen colors. president olague: that's what i'm hearing. >> you wanted the placement and visibility of the science, you watched the staff to continue working. commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. president olague: aye. >> that mo

president olague: thank you. >> i'm not sure how this works. president olague: flip it around. there you go. >>i' i'm here with the save- the-laguna-street campus. this is part of a letter that they sent in december of 2010 indicating an old and the desire to consolidate the buildings from seven to perhaps five or six and at 34 units and 30 parking spaces. i called your attention to it because it appears the this quite a bit of additional design that will need to be done to make it work for the new developer. which means additional environmental reviews. the light to see any new review take a lunch at the modified preservation alternative. which would preserve it by not demolishing in. perhaps we can reconfigure the residential building for open house to accommodate the amex. this is a national register historic district. we're asking you to prohibit the demolition of these structures in the modification by requiring full compliance for the district including the evaluation of the modified preservation alternative in addition to demonstrating commitments for 100% construction f

commissioner olague: thank you. we can now proceed to the directors report and review the past week's events. >> just one announcement today. i wanted to let you know the staff is conducting a second workshop on the chinatown- broadway street design project. that will take place on thursday, august 16, from 4:30 until 7:00 at the elementary school at 950 clay street. it will present several plans for chinatown. double the august 16 at the cordogordon lau elementary scho. >> i am from the planning department staff here to present a summary of the planning and land use activities. this will be the last report until after the break. they are about to go on recess. there was no land use committee meeting this week. the first ordinance was the ordinance that would change the controls for the inner and outer clement as well as for a portion of geary boulevard. you heard this motion on july 14. he recommended approval of modifications. supervisor mar amended the ordinance to include your recommendations but for one. he did

president olague: good, great. and at some point we want to invite a status on the whole program. >> okay. >> i wanted to follow up because i think sometimes when we work in the rec park role and the planning role, we don't always look at how these elements affect and improve the work we do and i wanted to follow up on commissioner borden's comment and the region that mission delores park was included is the last se and the study and the map and that document told us and we were developing the last bond proposal that it was important to focus on the densest areas in the city and the formulas that you established in the and the project of mission delores and the mission playground renovation and a couple of others use lafayette park also and those projects were in the densest parts of the city and these elements really make a big impact on our capital program that are helpful for us to do resighsly what you are talking about -- to do precisely what you are talking about. president olague: thank you and thanks for at

[unintelligible] >president olague: can you give us your name? ok. >> [unintelligible] that is my comment. president olague: is there additional public comment? public comment is closed. commissioner miguel: this gives me an opportunity to let everyone know that all the material says so, people don't always understand that all of these applications go to the department of health for clearance. prior to coming to us. they have to qualify for the federal guidelines. i realize there is a lot of concern in the community, and i appreciate that concern. but the place to voice that concern is that the department of health and the health commission. not here. it starts there, and that is where, in my opinion, have those concerns should be voiced. in particular, you're looking at installation that has been approved by a hospital. a medical office building. even the city, to some extent has done something similar. there is a parking garage directly across the street that services the general hospital and has two largest air towers. these structures are mul

president olague: thank you. [reading names] yes. >> good afternoon, president olague, commissioners, and also planning director. i am is a familiar face to year, as much as i have been a citizen of san francisco. as a citizen, i also wear many hats. my apologies. user it also an architect, developer, a citizen of san francisco. this place is a special place. in has its own heritage and culture by which activities that are undertaken are also at risk by the virtue of what is an emission by the reports with regards to the activities, and also the level of safety that is putting both rowers and swimmers at risk. the water quality is also at risk and the impact of access, not only to the club, not only for the members, but as the club is open to the public, it, too, is also at risk for accessibility. this is an invasion of land, sea, and air by which the impact will be strongly felt. not only by the club, but also by the community, and the environment, the businesses, the recreational components that have been under

president olague: project sponsor? >> the afternoon, members of the commission pinhead i am here today with representatives from the lessons professional engineers and conducted the radio frequency testing the as part of the packet. i'm also here today with our side acquisition manager responsible for this site. we're here today seeking the approval of the antenna located at lombard street. we have the and tell us the r six with the penthouse and screamed, additional equipment will also be located on the roof, shielded from view. they can close a significant service staff in the area and is also explained in more detail. i believe counsel provided some service maps and information to show the coverage and capacity gaps in the area. i will not go into details about the january 25 meeting in the july 12 meeting. we did voluntarilysecond meeting of where there was concern that we were competing with obama and the press coverage, so we held a second committee meeting in tried to address concerns that the community had at t

>> president olague: locating -- ok. negotiating time here. >> this is an after one of our proposals. we're looking at graphics and landscape treatment along the retaining wall. in place of the windows, we're proposing that you have some screens that would have colored panels, maybe glass that would glow and night as well as during the day to add some warmth and texture to the project. you're coming to the main entrance. along masonic. there will be new revolving doors. there is a bus stop at that location. we're proposing to have the target cafe animate that corner. back to that corner of masonic, looking up. the corner had display windows that were closed off. we're trying to reanimate the corner and can see this thing of canopies and fins. we wanted to give the building which is pretty banal, some rhythm and texture. once again, you can see the corner cafe that we're proposing there. and reopening the windows, new displays, the screens that will animate the facades. the fins and we will -- that we are proposing. we ar

president olague: thank you. feel free to submit any written comments that you have. >> will do. president olague: thank you. >> my name is lee hammick. i live in bernal heights. i am a dolphin member and swimmer since 1985. i appreciate the opportunity we all have to speak, but i have this nagging feeling a lot has gone on already on this feeling and hopefully this is more than window dressing. i hope you take what everyone is saying seriously. aquatics park used to be called black. cove -- blackpoint cove. it has been an historic area for the city of san francisco since it was settled and it remains a today. -- remains so today. i looked at the report in detail a few weeks ago and scanned it again today, and my feeling is the eir is incomplete at best. whether these items were skipped, i do not know, but they have to look at aquatic park and the activities. a lot of questions come to mind. how big is the super jumbotron? how big will it be? will the super jumbo yachts be going in and out of the code? will there

president olague: thank you. >> hello, my name is joe quickly and i'm here for my wife. we live at 313 eureka in the top, there is an apartment on the top that is about a floor and a half. i also spoke at the last meeting in may and i had a chance to look at some, the drawings we just saw here today and my and my wife's concern is that we can't really speak to the architectural integrity of the neighborhood, but we can tell you that it will have a massive impact on the amount of light that comes into our apartment. our kitchen window would be completely blocked and that's the main source of light into the kitchen. the new designs from what i have seen just there, it looks like the new designs will also block the main source of light into our bedroom, which is above the kitchen and the designs also show that as they did at the early meeting that all of our light into our living room and our dining room will be blocked. so i haven't seen anything in the new drawings to indicate that they have addressed any of the c

president olague: thank you. i apologize for the free for all nature of the conversation. usually we push buttons and very orderly, but i think it's appropriate for this only. secretary avery: and we are agreed to eliminate my email address in 1b. going back to the rules, we had gotten to 2d. to #c and we have gone back to 15 minutes on 3c and left the project sponsor and 3b at 15 minutes. this is the same as standard cases and eliminated the language and the same for 3e and eliminated 3f and g and numbered the rest of the items and those are the only changes i am aware of and you will change the adoption date. it is not july 20. that is all i am aware of. >> i don't have changes but i would like to have it recognize that we have language in here in three places at least that says revisions submitted at hearings are discouraged. president olague: good for that. and that is in every one of the cases and then the other one is the staff on policy or major project informational presentation at the commission is suppo

president olague: thank you. i'm going to read a few cards here of people who are in support of the d.r. requester. jane segal, uta rikart, joe quigley, tony kim. >> excuse me, there are two d.r. requesters, i think we both get -- president olague: of course. the second d.r. requester gets five minutes. that's my fault. sorry about that. >> could you put the slide back up on the screen? >> just go ahead and start talking. >> thank you for your time today. i'm here to represent myself, my husband, and our three young children. we're the homeowners at 4437 20th street. we have filed a d.r. in response to this project. our family lives directly downslope about a nine-foot drop from 309 eureka. here is a picture of the back of our house. these are the windows that receive all of the sunlight for our house. upstairs is our bedroom and bathroom and down stairs is our kitchen and great room. these are the -- well, these are the rooms where we spend the bulk of our time as a family. let me go to the next slide here. so h

president olague: i will make my comments brief. i like where sugaya was going, but i am not ready to accept the last part of it. i think a lot of the comments that we may hear, -- we made here regarding the fsaesthetics, i like the way that there is a more subdued approach to the size image -- signange. -- signage. i used to live by terra vista, that neighborhood. the issues around the parking lot can be very confusing. another thing that is confusing, it is a 1-way street. i am not sure what can be done to inform people or alert people to the fact that it is a one-way street. that is just a thought. maybe at some point, someone would think of a creative way for making sure it is a more prominent piece of information that people who drive get. there are people that end of the runway or go the wrong direction all the time. it may attract more shoppers, and we see an intensification of traffic. just in terms of safety. i know the neighbors are concerned with people going through the neighborhood. i think it is needed because of this

olague thank you. president olague: thank you. >> commissioners, my name is sue hagan and i guess i have to say i want to endorse what chris was just saying about private recreation facilities. there are a couple of other things. we just hope that the rose program does include as part of the final draft. one is that while recreation is important in terms of things like a cornerstone of where we work with and play and san francisco has a mechanism to protect commercial interest and to add and to protect housing units but there really is no planning code for protection of recreati recreation facilities as well as open space and hopefully that will be addressed. the other issue that it's time to address and not overlook is the matter of equitably distributing recreation, such as what about seniors and low income residents. so there should be some kind of addressing of is there going to be a mechanism put in place to make sure that those areas get taken care of. it's part of this overall, much larger pictu
