commissioner pearlman? >> commissioner pearlman: on the full preservation alternative, it says number of stories, and says four, but the diagram looks like two stories for the full preservation alternative. is that correct? >> on the full preservation alternative we keep the double mass on the first floor. and then there's additional massing at the rear of the building. >> commissioner pearlman: i see that, but the other diagrams, there are four slices that indicate four floors, but on the full preservation alternative, there are two slices. so just as a correction, it appears to be only two floors, not four. >> okay. we can improve that diagram. >> commissioner wolfram: any further questions for staff? so at this time, we'll take public comment on this item. if members of the public wish to come forward, they will have 3 minutes. seeing and hearing no speakers, we'll close public comment. commissioner hyland? >> commissioner hyland: this came before the arc and commissioner pearlman and i heard it. the eve

. >> commissioner pearlman: i did form ms. smith. my question is about not requiring a coa for this particular project. what would be the process to ensure that it is restored appropriately? maybe mr. frye? >> the way the ordinance is written that any type of basic, general maintenance to remediate the problems would not require a c of a. major changes may still require a c of a. we would like your feedback on that and also would be interested in hearing from the community. tim? >> this was our attempt to appease both sides of the coin in that there is concern about the quality of the pavers and water remediation with the parking garage, so this takes it out of the equation to deal with the issues, so hopefully they can be dealt with as efficiently and economically as possible, but as ms. desiree smith said, any new built structures within the plaza or major alterations would not be covered by this exclusion. and so those would still require a certificate of appropriateness. >> commissioner pearlman: so you are saying essentially tha

. >> ok, commissioner pearlman. >> that last point that mr. knapp made about whether it should go in as a community building or not, can you exmine why you think it should'nt? >> because by suggesting that it was a community building type that it was relevant to the organization -- the structure of what the -- or to meet the needs of the ymca. but not a -- or wasn't stated in the nomination that this was a new building type that generated other buildings, copying its style or between a new hospital building, that there is a new problematic anxietier of a building that becomes a commonly used style. that wasn't explained clearly in the nomination. >> so, i'm still not understanding. is the term "community building" implying that you -- that you think or that the nomination would imply that community building is a new building type? >> yes, that's what -- yes. that's it implies. yes. >> and so can i ask mr. knapp a question? would you come up for a second? so, could you respond to that? because you're thinking that it should be in there as a com

whether it was star whether was lou pearlman. lou pearlman was considered one of the most colorful music manages of the nineteen ninety's bands like the backstreet boys n sync or well under his management the ninety's were the golden decade for production companies the new economy was the fertile soil for the entertainment industry who perlman is going to. there's a tough business me a lot of money with transcontinental. he had a pizzeria chain somewhere in america he gave me his business cup once there were eight companies listed on it and he wrote a book that dunn called benz brands. billions a nice modest title. i mean and he said he was primarily a businessman and only than a music fan and was a fan. these days he's in prison because of investment fraud his pyramid scheme didn't work out the new economy bubble burst and even boy and girl bands don't go on forever many break up after a few years they can't stand the pressure or they become adults find other interests or internal conflicts break them. out of the song and. robbi

commissioner pearlman. >> thank you very much. i think it is an honour to have ms. guy -- [feedback] i didn't do that. [laughter] maybe i did do that. [laughter] >> [inaudible]. >> for those of you who saw the television production of "when we rise," there was a whole segment on ms. guy and her involvement and certainly the beginnings of the women building were noted in all of that. i think it's also interesting to -- it is almost like a peril that are on the murals with the women's building to the murals that are in coit tower, that's interesting that these two are back-to-back in this particular hearing today. because of the breadth of artists who participated in making the murals happen. i am enthusiastically endorsing this and i'll make a motion, but i'm sure others have something to say. so, thank you very much. thank you for the research and it's, i think, an excellent contribution to our national scene and national register. >> commissioner hyland? >> thank you to ms. guy for thank you you've done for sour community. >> thank you. >> commissioner johnck? >> a

. >> commissioner pearlman. >> mr. frye. i understand there is a new architect so they will be coming up with a completely new approach. would that be something that would then come back to the a.r.c.? >> that would be our intents, yes. >> i don't know if we want to wait until then to sort of see what they're planning. and i agree. i mean, i don't anticipate there's any new information relative to the report. the case report. i don't know if we want to suggest two meetings out, three meetings out. >> the first one in march, the first hearing in march. >> commissioner highland? >> i think that the designation and the proposed project are two separate processes. and out of courtesy, i wouldn't be opposed to continuing this for a hearing or two. but as we talked about on the peace pagoda, the landmark designation will provide a lot of guidance for the new team and the design. so waiting for that project shouldn't be syncked up, in my opinion, with the designation. >> maybe march then? >> march 7 or the 21st are your options. >>

. >> commissioner pearlman? >> commissioner pearlman: thank you. i think the idea of the tracking is really significant, one, to see if there's growth. the other is just to see how it plays out. i mean, you've got these as place holders now and you are going to find that one area will be much more -- need much more time and then what do you do? and ho do you balance those needs? the other thing i was going to say, i was excited in desiree's presentation, as i'm preparing for a talk i am giving in a couple of weeks, i was looking at the history of landmarks and i was looking by decade and how many. and it started dropping way decade starting in the 1970s to the 2000s. it was 20 some-odd landmarks and i know we talked about this when i was first on the commission about how few we have and we've been trying to build and build, so i was very excited to hear that there were five or six just in this quarter. and then all the context reports. there was so much activity. so it's very exciting that we're really picking up the pace and the broadening of the
