i am a employee of the penthouse. i've heard previous speakers cover various points whether in favor or against the approval of this permit. the over all tone has been clearly one of passion, which is why i've decided to speak now. i was born in san francisco, raised in oakland. i am proud to be a bay area native. according to real estate site red fin, san francisco lost more residents than any other u.s. city in the last four months of 2017. i have seen changes on all fronts here ebb and flow. my everyday is a struggle to make runt, to be a contributing member of society and up hold the values instilled in me since day one over 30 years ago. this permit will make a huge difference in my life. with an increase in wages i can make daily life better for myself but also remain a resident to the only place i've called home. this permit will also allow me to pursue my passion to be a photojournalist, with higher wages as a result of an increase in our hours of operation, i will be able to return to school completing my stu

the stare penthouses, if you do have a roof deck, are terrible. i think roof decks are great on multiunit buildings for people to have open space and i wish they put clotheslines there so people could dry -- dry their laundry and save electricity. thank you. that is it. thank you for doing this. i think it is important. just like my point before and i will take my 30 seconds, not to raise the complaints about those two buildings, but to focus on the size of units. you can get three bedrooms in 1300 square feet. you have done it in multiunit buildings where they also have roof decks. thank you, very much. >> president hillis: thank you very much. >> afternoon. thank you. generally speaking, streamlining the process for consistency is a great idea. the biggest comment -- common complaint is a picture in the slide of big parties. when there are appliances and hot tubs and whatnot. it was not mentioned but it was one of the things in the code. a proposal to get rid of those appliances and hot tubs. that makes sense to me for neighbor privacy and lower

the penthouses should have minimal impact on light access and minimal clutter. only adjacent neighbors are affected, because they're high. coalition for san francisco neighborhoods requests a checklist of the matrix that will be used for review to determine compliance regarding the issues in our letter. i think that was part of the implementation. notifications to occupants having a line of sight to the deck, that could intrude upon the occupants' policy given. 10-day notice is insufficient with over the counter roof decks. it doesn't have the mandatory meeting. i submit the summary for 150 words or less and a copy of the fuller for whoever wants it look at it again. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. teresa flandrick. yes, as georgia said, traditionally, laundry was hung out on the rooftops, at least in north beach. i had to convince my 88-year-old landlord to stop climbing up to the roof to hang out her laundry. that i would do that and then hopefully the generation behind me would do that for me. with roof deck

the building will extend 80 feet in height, with two stair penthouses for a total of 96 feet. the project requires a c.u. for building height greater than 50 feet, street frontal greater than 50 feet and slight bolt exception. the project proposal is inclusionary housing, bye-bying the in lieu fee. staff received feedback from the public regarding issues to the relocation of the victorian building. in order to address that concern, staff is proposing adding a new provision that addresses the relocation. i have a copy of the proposed condition that i would like to give to the commission. basically, this commission would say a qualified preservation professional will be involved in the coordination of the relocation of the victoria building, from 807 franklin to 635 fulton. with regard to 635 fulton street, the proposal includes moving the existing mortuary building, which is three stories. it has two levels of mortuary use and third floor with two dwelling units, moving that building 14 feet to the east, so the victorian building from 807 franklin could be placed to the west of

people like larry flynt and hustler and penthouse and all of these and hefner was horrified by. and he got into very well publicized public staff with the larry flynt's of the world and the editor of penthouse and the like for going too far. as a critic wrote in the 50s, in many ways hefner's view of sex never really got that far beyond a naughty methodist boy which is what he was in fact so the and restraint of liberty is a little perhaps overstated. the other thing i tell you is i interviewed hefner a lot for this book probably 50, 60 hours of taped interviews and a lotmore than that in informal talks . have you not opened the floodgates for sort of sexual craziness to sweep over the land and what do you think about that?do you feel responsible? i found it interesting as i expected him to be defensive about that issue and in fact, what he told me izzy said well, i worked in new york city in the 1980s and i went to times square and he said i was absolutelyhorrified at what i saw . this sort of cd, lack of any kind of control. just the nastiest sort of stuff you could imagine. h

. >>> from the penthouse to the big house, tonight millionaire tech mogul gurbaksh chahal is spending his first night behind bars. for years the former silicon valley ceo dodged jail time for domestic assault. kpix5's melissa caen was in court today when his luck ran out. >> are you sorry for what you it, sir? >> reporter: gurbaksh chahal didn't answer, but he told the judge he was sorry and begged for lineals. he was found guilty of assault -- leniency. he was found guilty of assaulting a woman in 2013 in his san francisco penthouse, a place where he proudly showed it off to video cameras, but he was taped hitting a woman 100 times. >> i'm sure his victims begged for mercy, 113 times slapping, kicking, biting somebody. you don't think they asked him to stop? where was their mercy? >> reporter: chahal only got probation for that first crime because the video of the beating was not allowed as evidence and the victim refused to testify, but five months later he again assaulted a woman in his home kick her nearly a dozen times. that was a violation of his probation and that's why he now

it's clearly advocating for their own personal penthouse views. to give anything to this group that is so obviously motivated by pure self-interest, not even of the building but a few handful of penthouse dwellers who might have some views impacted by new housing would be insane. it is not acceptable to negotiate a way, the pittance of housing in this plan, to condo conners. who do not want other condos within their line of sight. it's just ridiculous. i understand these things need a couple of weeks but there are people with whom we can negotiate with in good faith to try and get whatever community benefits they think are need. we are at risk play ball with people just want to preserve their views. and this is why we need fundamental structural see >> next speaker, please. >> my name is scott feeknee. i'd like to echo a lot of what laura said. as the member of u.n. b. action who coordinated opposition to the central soma plan, we previously opposed the central soma plan for adding what was originally 50,000 jobs and only 7,000 housing units durin

cost of going to has a villa in berlin and a penthouse in cologne with a view of the cathedral but little time off. how much distance should there be between those in the middle and those at the top and how big is the gap in reality . there's a lot of data about poverty in the pool that very little about the rich a state asset registry would help but there isn't one and so a team from the german institute for economic research is trying to find out more with. the man i'm a physician from if you try to represent the wealth distribution in germany in a graphic way you can do it quite simply on an a for sheet of paper and a few. is welcome and you can imagine a coordinate system like at school obviously with an x. axis and a y. axis and with the y. axis here i show the amount of wealth for new ones well you could easily display ninety five percent of the population on the sheet of front of target result and i start here in the minus area because a part of the population is in debt or even insolvent and then there is a relatively broad area where assets are virtually zero for move until it fi

it was a stair penthouse. and in concession to the d.r. requester after the neighborhood meeting, we lowered the height of the penthouse and we reduce the length of the landing. during the planning review of the project, there was a suggestion that we reduce the overall mass and go to a roof hatch, which is what we did. so we now have a project where -- and i also want to talk about the request to have the stairs slide towards the street. the roof hatches directly above the existing stair in the home. there really is no way to move the stairway, which is a communicating stair within the house that goes all -- goes up all three floors. there is no way to have the roof be accessed independently of that stair. so the proposed design we have now has been reduced in mass and is as minimal as it can get. we have a roof hatch and we have a 30-inch pipe parapet wall and then we are exiting out of the roof hatch to the east away from the d.r. requester's property. so there is a 5-foot setback between where our roof deck begins and where the propert

so that then requires the elevator coming up and stair penthouses. the problem is, we're not allowed to put a vestibule to protect the elevator because you have an elevator opening up on seventh, eighth, 10th story of a building, wind whipping in and water and debris gets in the elevator shaft. one of the things that's in section 260 is, a, mechanical equipment pertinent to the building, that can go above the height limit. on a number of projects that i'm doing, the planner says, no, th vestibule -- you can not have the vestibule, because it's not included in the text of 260. what i found and we talked to a number of architects. one told me that they couldn't get a warranty on their elevator, because there wasn't protection. i know a lot of people have concerns about these additional spaces on the roof because maybe they will become a sun room or something on the roof, but i think it could be fairly simple to add into the code that this is not only allowed that it would have to be a minimum, maybe 50 square feet, something like that, so it can meet a

crowed control is never a problem for penthouse club. what happens at closing on the busiest nights is that there's people collected in front waiting for their taxis, waiting for their ubers. the taxis know they'll get good tips. they're waiting at closing time and throughout the evening late at night anyhow. >> what about a six-month trial? >> i would be fully in support of it. i feel like the conversations i've had with management and staff at this club they're really committed to this community and they have put a lot of money where their mouth is on this. if what they're doing is becoming a negative impact on the community, they'll stop it right away. they won't wait for you to shut them down. >> thank you. i mean, i will be interested to hear what other commissioners have to say. thank you. i came predisposed to voting against it and for the staff recommendation but i think that testimony was compelling and it would be interesting to see what folks think about a six-month trial. commissioner richards. >> i came predisposed to vote n

the lawsuit claims that she and a friend went up to ronaldo's penthouse suite, the woman says that while she changed in the bathroom, ronaldo exposed himself and asked her for oral sex, she says she refused, she says then ronaldo pulled her into a bedroom and raped her as she screamed no. the soccer star appears to deny the claim. during an instagram live post on friday he said what they said today, fake, fake news. it's not clear, however, from this post whether ronaldo was plotting talking about this claim. sources say christine blasey ford and brett kavanaugh are not on the initial list given to the fbi suggesting who created by s republicans and turned over to the white house. with us now democrat bakari sellers and republican jack kingston, former georgia congressman. jack, i spoke to a former fbi agent last hour. let's watch. >> some people have said they testified a n front of the senate judiciary committee and that should be enough. and the reason it's not enough, ana, is that as you saw from that hearing, not only did each side have collar directed questions, they were cut off a

not only, you know, at the penthouse level, where we have one set of five rooms that's gutted to could be merged together with exposed wires and plumbing. no permits for that. but even on the rooms, i noticed when we did the site visit where they merged the two rooms together on the inside, they sheet rocked it where the door was. on the outside, the door was still there. so i'm wondering, what if you are a fire fighter and you are coming through and you need to check that room and how does the door work when there's sheet rock behind it. it's questionable some of the action that's have been taken here. aside from the failure to provide 25 affordable units as they said they would, almost 20 years ago. for those reasons, i would respectfully request the board up hold the planning commission's denial of this and i do agree that if they want to work this out with the proper agencies they can go back and seek to have an amendment of the d.d.a. that's a more comprehensive and appropriate and direct approach. i think what we've had for more than a decade is a lack of direct approach on the p

floor of the building and was not surprised that some of the residents in the higher floors and penthouses were opposed to the development that would obstruct their view of the bay bridge. to me, what is more important is what is happening on the streets of california and the streets of san francisco. nightly strewn with broken glass and windows and you can see daily the homeless pushing their carts of possessions past two-story abandoned warehouses. we have to take care of our fellow citizens and upgrade the neighborhood. what disturbs me is that some members of the home owners association board were issuing statements that owners were opposed to redevelopment of the neighborhood. as an owner, i was never consulted. furthermore, we learned that the board planned to possibly use our building fund to litigate against the plan. i have initiated legal action to see that whether this is lawful or not and how much has been spent so far. another situation disturbed me. i've twice requested that the developers, the supervisor, and the city, be given an opportunity to present their case at an h.o.

we plan to continue to develop the penthouse level to be quietly compatible with the storage structurelow, including more deeply set and vertically proportioned windows. the ground floor was carefully designed with input from preservation staff to be deferential to the 1960 social resource. it was a strange design challenge. an interpretive program will be incorporated, commemorating the history of the bryant mortuary and it's association with african-american history in the western addition. historic photos, narratives, videos, videos and family history. back on the 807 franklin street site. will develop a new eight story residential structure capped consisting of of 48 units of housing, almost 70% of which will be family -sized, two and three-bedroom units. a minimally parked basement with 17 vehicle spaces. ample parking for 80 bicycles and storage. at common open space in a complying rear yard at grade, and in the roof deck on top. the architectural expression is of a sculptural form in a concrete. with large massing moves to organize -- organized a principal front and rear faÇade.
