this is entirely contrary to the portrero hill plan and one neighborhood that several needs assessment. many residents have complained about poor and in frequent munis service and i have gop -- gone to the website and planning department to ensure the development of complete neighborhood includes open space and open transit and streetscape improvement and affordable housing. before yet another massive development. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> hello, supervisors, tony from the trail boosters association. supervisor, thank you for the hearing today. the problem is worst and there is a layout that hasn't been discussed yet. there is four gaps in funding that you need to talk about. one is that we are deficient in eastern neighborhoods. this was an industrial area. we don't have enough to serve the people who are there now and then there is the lack of funding in the priority projects identified by these departments and the priority projects and the needs assessment they did in 2007 because they reduced that to get to the priority projects and then there is the gap between all of

i was going to bring in music and give you a performance, if you are on portrero hill you are doing latin and on another it's country. for me it's amazing. what i realized about myself, i don't smile. when you have a zumba structure staring you down with a beautiful set of teeth smiling, you tend to do the same. i have taken up smiling and i want to give you this. it's signed by dozens of men and women thanking all of who is fantastic, i understand she works for you and december who comes from san mateo. thank you for this program. i really enjoy myself. it's a really wonderful opportunity to come together. happy holidays!. >> okay, we are now at our 15-minute limit for general public comment. we are going to item 5 which is the consent calendar. 5 h is off calendar. we'll hear that in just a moment. i do have two public comment cards for the consent calendar, robin andance anastasia. >> hello again. you may think this is inevitable. i first became aware of knapp driving by the park. a san francisco alliance a huge amount is being spent without park users. expand the playground and add a

that is a common problem in portrero hill. these two shuttle advance in the left belong to zyngas contractors and there is another limousine. there are a lot of commercial vehicles parked in our area that are large commercial vehicles that should not be parking around our streets especially around our parks. there is one camper in this picture. i think we need to think about the fact that it's not just vehicles, it's a lot of different over sized vehicles, there is a lot of these advance, converted u haul trucks and these are magnets. there is a lot of different things going on. we have to think about the fact that a lot of these are around schools, around parks. they create walls around our parks and schools making it easier for things to go on. it would be nice if we can do the 2004 measures here. but this being san francisco, it's not going to happen. however i volunteer at mark ferrel's district for a nice campground. we suffered in district 9, 10, 4, we are the camp grounds in the city for anyone who wants to park their v

portrero, 10.8 feet lower. portrero,.8 inches higher and 459 potrero 9 feet lowerment we have our licensed is surveyor looking at the site. we are not quite sure that it reflects what the survey shows. with respect to how the example of the previous building, how they cast shadows before, this is actually an elevation of that billion. -- building. it had this project which had bulk above that going taller than this building. i want to be clear that was a significantly sized building at the time and that wasn't going to be significantly larger. the issue of notices has been brought up. i just want to speak to that briefly. there was some confusion about the site posting. it was a unique situation where we had one planning commission hearing and one planning commission 3 weeks later and we worked with the planning commission to provide notice. they have power to determine whether or not notice was adequate. this was done at the planning commission and that note was provided. there are at least five neighborhood m

. >> here is mariposa and portrero. a traditional rear yard would be 25 feet from here all the way across all the way to mariposa street. the modification is that the building wraps all the way around to meet the next building over. so because this is technically not the 25 percent depth for the entire width of the lot rear yard, we needed an exception for the rear yard and also for the dwelling unit exposure because this faces technically not a rear yard. it's through the eastern neighborhoods large project authorization process. so, again, this is deeper than what a traditional rear yard would have, if we had just provided a traditional rear yard of the entire depth of the lot. >> necessary space that exceeds the standard rear yard of the lot, the additional space there, would that be equal to the space that the structure itself is taking up? it's not, right? you know my question, you have that rear yard and you added space that you are not required to have. the space inaccessible that you are required to have if you

in portrero hill neighborhood but no sign of the suspects. >> teams are listening to the message to stay away from hard drugs and designer drugs. but marijuana is a different story. the annual survey released bit national institutes of health shows 60 percent of high schoolers do not think regular use of marijuana is harmful. 36 percent of seniors, more than a thirds admitted using marijuana the past year and 6.5 percent of seniors said they use marijuana every day. on the positive side, the rate of teens who smoke, drove and take pain killers is declining. >> the white house party crabber is running for public office. salahi is running for congress, the former reality star will seek the republican nomination for retiring representative frank wolf's seat in virginia. he shot to fame in 2009 when he and his then wife crashed a white house state dinner. she is now married to a rock legend of journey in san francisco last weekend. >> toronto mayor rob ford may have to wait for an invitation for "dancing with the stars" and could be waiting a long-term showing off his moves year at the city

here is a list of projects that are partially funded that portrero was completed and other projects here are slated to receive funds at the end of this fiscal year. there is revenue for the next 5-year period and we have other projects for in kind agreements and also shows further examples of whenever we are able to leverage funds like the mercado plaza. the 22nd street project we have allocation of $2 million for that project in the impact fee revenue down the line. just to make the point that impact fees are not the only funding source for eastern neighborhoods. we have been going out to getting a number of grants for the eastern neighborhood. many came out of the district streetscape plan and others come from other local and state funding sources. and finally these are projects that are moving forward that we expect program funds that are non-impact fee revenue funds but at the same time meet the goal of implementing the eastern neighborhood projects and they come from a -- variety of funding sources, outside grants and streetscape funding and street bonds. lastly i'm going to talk ab

this is to fund the construction base of the portrero avenue for repaving 5 miles including one 1 mile betweenal alameda and 5th. this is for the improvement project which includes rider sidewalk and landscaping. this is good to see the two different elements compliment each other. and in completion of this project will coincide with the san francisco general hospital rebuild. the next three parts. two prop k. it requires in one prop k request and two propaa request is to design two projects for quarter improvement and broadway chinatown phase. >> that is one bay area grant by mtc and a bag? >> correct. thank you for pointing that out. you have seen this project many times before. this will be a quick reminder for you of the scope. so the corridor improvement project statement -- starts from page 61 of the enclosure. from maclaren park from sunny dale avenue including sidewalks and improving stations. the project development and the phases and this is the design phase. for the dpw chinatown broadway, four allocation request starts from page 81 of the enclosure and this is for the desig
