commissioner peterson: ok i could withdraw mine. >> is that a switch in door? commissioner garcia: of course, you have a right to ask questions because we are considering something that affects you. >> even the swinging door is going to allow, and i think that is what you're proposing, completing one door open and. that noise is going to come out of that bar. we talked about a swinging door. commissioner fung: commissioner peterson, are you still leaning towards wanting to resolve this tonight? commissioner peterson: i think my concern would be address by amending condition a. i do not know if anybody would agree with me. commissioner fung: i would like them to go through some sort technical analysis and see what some sort of a longer-term solution would be. commissioner peterson: that is fine. a continuance. commissioner garcia: october 5? >> i am actually out of town that week. commissioner garcia: go forward or better -- back towards? >> i would prefer the next week. commissioner fung: i do not think this -- think this needs to go out that long. commissioner

hwang, and commissioner peterson is absent. the vote is 4-0. director goldstein: which i am would you like to call next? -- which item would you like to call next? commissioner goh: item number six. director goldstein: all right, we will call item no. 6, katherine viranyi and khaled hegazy, on 829 geary street, with the reason of suspension of smoking in enclosed area without an approved exemption from dph. this is on for a hearing today, and we will start with the appellant. please step forward. >> hi, good evening. we are appealing the decision because we are in small business. my name is katherine viranyi. we are appealing this. we are a small business, unlike some that have restaurants or bars. we do not have anything else to sell. we opened this at the end of december 2008. there was an exemption for places that were prior, opened prior to 2009, december, which was the year. we were not informed that if we would have moved to a commercial building, which we would have done, we would be exempt from all of this. we found out

commissioner peterson, commissioners, -- president goh, commissioner, some of these items will not be heard this evening, and those are with respect to the property on mason street, item six. also, items 7, regarding another property, they have jointly asked that the meeting be rescheduled. with a board vote, we can move it to that date, december 17. president goh: do we need a motion? director goldstein: we do. president goh: so moved. director goldstein: any public comment? seeing no public comment, mr. pacheco, please read the world. secretary pacheco: on that motion, commissioner fung, vice president garcia: , commissioner peterson, that is rescheduled to december 14. director goldstein: thank you. moving back to a regular calendar, item number one, public comment. is there any member of the public who would like to speak on something that is not on tonight's calendar? please step forward. >> my name is ross wilkinson. good evening, commissioners. i am a tenant, and i brought an appeal in 2006, regarding with fans that the property owner was putting in the exterior walls of each u

commissioner peterson: i think i stated before that san francisco and its great offering of businesses with outdoor seating, which i parsley and joy, and i like businesses that do that, -- which i personally enjoy, and i like businesses that do that, but i agree the mitigation measures are not sufficient, as well. at the same time, and i think going back to the history of how the deck came into being, it remains problematic and sort of taints the overall process, really, and that is what we have to look out for, is this process. that is what we have to look out for, and that the notwithstanding my own personal enjoyment of outdoor space, and air and whatever in an entertaining space, i think we need to uphold the concerns of the community here, and we heard it loud and clear. i do not think we can rely on that without more. we have not even reviewed the documents. i do not think we can use that for any basis. we are not going to see a good outcome even if we were to try to implement a compromise. at least, me presley, maybe not commissioner fung, but i am concerned that if we try to pr

commissioner peterson: thank you. vice president garcia: ok, the jurisdiction is being applied for on one variance and one building permit? >> it seems so. it is really not two things but one. there is some more detail there, although that detail is rendered irrelevant, because the part of the variance that was in the building permit in the fine of that stair is not a variance anymore. this was in return for a lot more open space. vice president garcia: the variance? >> correct. vice president garcia: exhibit g, these are not dated, right? if you go to your exhibit g -- >> i do not have that in front of me. vice president garcia: one question, it appears with exhibits g, two notices were sent to the hernatis. >> we are not allowed it to customize the addresses. what comes from the assessor's office is what we have to go with, it is my understanding. vice president garcia: and then the june 17 notice has to do with the actual permit? >> g-7 team? vice president garcia: -- june 17? vice president garcia: 2010. >> i beli

commissioner peterson: you are not representing all 12 of them? >> no. >> that is not which true that i have not been communicating with them. all i am trying to do is get this notice of violation taken care of. i have no intent on selling the building for a profit, like he stated, and i do not know where he comes from with these accusations. needs a lot of work. the building was built in the 1800's. there is virtually no way to make this building ada compliant because you have to go underground and come up in the back for the bat exit, which is not adequate, and the front entrance has stairs, so there is issues there, you know. there is only so much i can do with a building that was built in 18 a.d., but right now, all i would like to do is make the repairs. there are holes in the deck, as mr. dufty can tell you. there is a ton of personal property all over the decks. when the decks get wet, they have no way to drive because they are completely covered with items of personal property, and all i want to do is fix it. commissioner goh: i have a que

garcia, commissioner peterson is absent, commissioner hwang. this item is continued. director goldstein: we will call our last item, the subject property at 1633-1649 haight street. august 17, 2011, the board voted to deny the appeal and upheld the denial of the permit with a finding that the billboard does not comply with the planning conception planning code section -- does not comply with planning code section 604-h, the billboard to be replaced exactly in kind, exterior work only, not associated with any commercial space. >> thank you. good evening, commissioners, president goh. i asked for a re-hearing, and i will explain. at the end of the hearing, as we were arguing, presidents -- president goh asked whether or not this item was really about 604-h, and whether it is the owner of the sign, company, or the owner of the property who does the voluntary removal, that is very important, because if the owner of the sign structure voluntary removes it, that does not destroy the property owners' vested right to display advertising on the building

professor peterson, your thoughts on that. >> yeah, we have to parse this a little bit.there's demographic interpretations here. so the older white vote is going to have a little bit of a different feeling about president obama than the younger white vote. and yes, there are going to be those one-time folk who just say just for the cause, just to sort of say that look, we're not racist, america is changing, they'll make that vote. and yes, there are going to be some voters who also hold obama to a different standard. that's just the ways in which race and politics operate. but i really have a lot of faith in young folk across the mainstream, in college campuses. they were inspired by president obama. and i really feel like the ways in which we think about race and the ways in which older generation folk think about race, younger generation folk are really try to move past that and beyond that. we're not post-race but there certainly is an earnest attempt by younger folk to look at folks outside of the sort of rigid racial lines we've drawn for ourselves in the history of

commissioner peterson: i will go next, and i think primarily i agree with commissioner fung. i recognize this was a 4-3 bowed by the planning commissioners. that reflects that it was a difficult decision at that level. i must confess that when i hear about configuration and interior design issues, i think those reside with the property owner. i know we have talked a little bit about public opinion, but i think we see a growing shift in the city to respond to families as well as protect open space and alleviate shuttling and other concerns. this project certainly does that. with respect to the rationale of the decision, looking at what was written by the decision, the setback was needed to respect the existing building scale. i find the setback now, given properties with no set back, or very little -- i found that again the setback was met by no horizontal extension. i am inclined to overturn the department decision as well. commissioner hwang: i want to say thank you to the people who came out here and testified on behalf of the project sponsor. i think my view is that i agre

on that motion to revoke, president goh, vice president garcia, commissioner peterson, commissioner hwang. thank you. the vote is 3-2 to revoke the permit. the city charter requires four votes to overturn any department item, so without motion, this would be upheld as is with no new conditions. vice president garcia: the motion would be what was discussed earlier, with the exception of a first condition, which i do not have in front of me, from the planning department, and requiring, and i would ask even though he is against having this permit go forward, i would ask commissioner fung, who is an architect, to say which door, even though it may not be effective, which door would be the most effective. which type of door. commissioner fung: a solid door. vice president garcia: how would it open and close? commissioner fung: you know, i am sure that the bar and restaurant operation would like a door that operates, a double acting door, one that swings both ways. the problem with the those is that the type of hardware for the self closing on that is very limited, in terms of just being a comb
