on ralph your ending up on the ralph ralph is probably where i would prefer the garage but i think there are things that can be done your problem is bigger than this project. >> i'll add a couple of thoughts i can support the continuance but i don't it falls on the developer i see things detailed in the paperwork even the neighbors that don't want the driveway on ralph i don't know it's a collective effort to come up with ways to make ralph a better street at the end i will probably think that ralph is the better location for the driveway it doesn't set a precedence it's widower then the alleys it is 50 feet many others between thirty feet i think that the housing and the frontage that being property for ralph adds a lively hood to ralph that's deserved the pedestrian on ralph the articulation of the residential units on ralph adding adds to the livelyness of the alleyway so i know i started asking you you know the commission to consider the specific apps of everyone the most specific one is the department developer and accident community can meet at least one more time i don't know we c

sorry where the cars into the ralph and the one open the ralph's sidewalk in front of the garage i'll showing you an illusion. >> sir, you need to speak into the microphone. >> the green one is the proposed vehicles moving into the driveway this is had a conflict with the pedestrians and the ultimate has one conflict we want to have a raised sidewalk along the intersection of fulsome like perry street third point is that the project provides a 19 ramp behind the curb cut into the existing garage the same treatment what about applied to the fulsome there's no difference the 4 factor is the transit corridor according to the section we want to protect the transit corridor by reducing the number of curb but the u cuts but the traffic will be indicating added to the walk areas regardless it will interfere with the bikes and trait from fulsome into the driveway it's anothers same to sum up the department has 4 factors two are equal and one is better for the full name entrance. >> thank you as the next speaker comes up i'll call for names (calling names). >> i'm i'm martha i live on ralph st

. >> i'm i'm martha i live on ralph street for 18 years i'm a member of the ralph student neighbors some are following on line asking for a continuance of this matter i especially want to thank april from sdmmz office to support united states we need a continuance to work out where the driveway should be this is not about the developers responsibly we're not opposing is one hundred and 12 units they've worked with us on many, many issues we pleased they're asking for 84 units we look forward to continue to work with the developers we've dealt with george hourser in 1988 and but those guys are we have we wrote to the planning department they issued about driveways and alleys in general began on october 29th why they want criteria's on ralph this was a document from the directors office yesterday morning about garages on alleys that's a short time between then and today they're full of wrong assumptions we could have corrected if we were involved but we were not now we finally had a good meeting we can have a conversation now but we've only started this is a case were serving the principle

and fulsome street we begin to look at the architecture we've thought about ralph street and fulsome we think about them having a different altitude fulsome is a larger scale and larger building components trying to pick views from the portion of embarcadero after retail uses other than the ground floor the brick material is supported with a care medic tile element it sits next to the windows and the ceramic tile moved back and forth and the on the corner we have a large metal aluminum grid frame and large windows and as mentions we're proposing an extension of that frame-up to 9 top floor there's a series of private terrace with the set back of 15 feet known as to commissioner moore's questions and suggestions about potentially we're a one facade this is a study we've done the element on the right hand we're still proposing to be brick but we've looked at a larger scale element where we stitched the windows together into a horizon more graphic expedition we think it gives it a playful facade is something we feel is contemporary but fits within the neighborhood corner element we are

so you got that on your excerpts our home is on ralph street i do not say from the proposed project lgbt held an informal town hall meeting i was in at the scene i ask the lgbt representatives how much are you going to pay us for thank you for the opportunity our lives upside down and when after repeated the response from lgbt was there's no lay that says we have to do that. >> my partner and i are sdanld with hiv and aids we can't work we know people that are suffering from kidney failure and skansz cancer and lgbt has demonstrated a lack of good well and good faith and moral obligation to the neighborhood tenants who lives and health had been permanently effected by this development anticipated noise occasions and excavation and pile driving and toxic air quality resulting from the construction will have a significant impact on us and our health and our daily lives and this construction activity may require us to move out of our home and potentially out of san francisco a devastating blow to our lives with- and aids due to a loss of medical services we have to stay within the city limi

proposed plan parking spaces although i think the project is great i hope you put the driveway on ralph thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon commissioner president wu and commissioners carpenters local 22 remains to be in full support of f this project we hope it will get passed and look forward to doing a lot of upcoming work with those vendors as a sponsor of the job and wish everyone whatever high schools to have a nice christmas and hanukkah whatever and safe new year see you next year. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed >> commissioner antonini and yeah. i have a question for the gentleman i'm going over the various things that are proposed for traffic kooumg on ralph and i think all of them are being implemented i'm not sure about the cobblestone or breaking and entering brick it that something we have to top with another department. >> yes. the standing of the paving another agency sfmta or dpw. >> i'm under the assumption the project sponsor is okay with doing that if we get it approved.

alleys suffer the same thing i'll agree with with some of the commissioners said the major impact on ralph is not the traffic for people that live there or the current parking and reduced the numbers of the entrances of the garage to ralph but in an ability to enforce the rules those streets are to be assessed by the people that live there you find that in large cities around the world's where there's clear enforcement and including in some communities there are barriers at sentiments of the day only the fire department could a indeed move them where the discredit a quiet residential street if we are serious about looking at the identification of the city relative to the alleys when we talk about then those are the ideas those are not the traffic calming with the suburban bumps or the public works didn't do that in the city their expensive and more noisy and consumerism and people driving down the street tests a consistent enforcement of how we are to transform the city to alleys and streets that's a new reflection open the residential influx that's a clear dlaepgs of how the many policies

i called ralph, and she got ralph to the phone when the house was bombed. they were friends.there was no jealously or rivalry or all of that garbage. that is the spin people have tried to put on it. they are projecting with they would have -- what they would have felt had they been in that position. now that is what they are writing. you have to correct those lies. i call them lies because that is what they were. does that answer it? >> [indiscernible] [laughter] >> that is what is happening now. they were best friends. they didn't move without the other. no, god. yeah, they said he was martin's lieutenant. lieutenant? he was less than? that is what they were saying. let me tell you this -- ralph and martin luther king were the only two people in the civil rights movement who were never paid one red cent, ok? not one dime first baptist church paid ralph's salary. the montgomery improvement association never paid them one penny. sclc never paid martin luther king when he was president, and they never paid ralph when he was president. let's get that straight. ebenezer paid mart

the lot which takes a good idea of townhomes coming down rachel h ralph and turning it and occupying two which on fulsome street that's our idea so i champ you to just do a little bit more. >> commissioner johnson. >> i'll support a continuance. >> just to i guess clarify i know that a lot of the language on the architecture is drawing from this mixed industrial for a larger neighborhood so there's i want to make sure we're pulling up a photo on the fuchl street elevation to comment outstanding on your comments o'connor you want to see intent on the larger bloke over here and in terms of breaking down the scale of the block or more articulation of the facade. >> scale of the block and the articulation of the facade one or the other or both i can't basically draw you i'm approving the repeal repeatedness we're transforming the street fulsome street is going to be the mine street i'm expected more of a building and uss that twice i mean by that have to be clear rather grid repetition. >> commissioner hillis i mean, we'll see what we get you like the design it reflects the industrial ch

all this occurs in 2006. >> hinojosa: so are you hopeful, ralph? i mean, you've been at this for, what? you're 75 years old now. you've been basically... todd purdum from the new york times said your public life has been one long, unyielding argument with the world. so... >> look, i'm... >> hinojosa: ...are we making progress here? >> yeah, sure, we're making progress, but... >> hinojosa: or are we three steps forward, two steps back? >> both. you know, cars are safer, for example. we have a great freedom of information act to get information, which is the currency of democracy. but on the other hand, the corporations have become fewer and bigger. the bigger ones are fewer, they merge, they're global, they pit one country against another, they control these trade agreements, and they never stop concentrating power. they have to, to get their way, control government. they have to. there isn't a single government agency and department where the outside influence is overwhelmingly corporate. >> hinojosa: so how do we... how do we... so how do normal c

at the time of our interview, ralph menzes had been on death row 17 years. >> i remember when ralph menzes could talk to him. they're setting up the lights getting the microphone set making sure the lighting is just so and it's important to establish a rapport very quickly and ralph and i start to have a little bit of small talk, and i'll never forget. i asked him, hey, what are you watching on tv these days? and he told me that he was a big fan of "the oc." >> i see "oc all the time. i like that. >> yeah? what's your -- got to be honest, i love the oc, too. what is your favorite character on that? >> my favorite character is kelly rowan. >> yeah? >> she's pretty hot. >> narrator: menzes' interest in women became more disturbing when we learned details of his crime. >> ralph's crime allegedly was a brutal one. kidnapped a female from a convenience store and took her up one of the canyons, tied her to a tree and then cut her throat and then left her there. >> well, i've always maintained my innocence. i've done a lot of things in my life, you know, that i'm not proud of, but this particular

joining us now colonel ralph peters.hael hayden makes it clear, the interrogation techniques which haven't been used for ten years, the cia is a rogue operation, your reaction? >> first of all, senator feinstein knows very well she is being not just disingenuous but dishonest. of course you don't water board khaled sheikh mohammed and say bin laden would be standing on a corner in wins low, arizona tomorrow at 6:53 p.m., it's not like that. that's not how intelligence works. the way it works is you get connections. it's a vast mosaic, you put the complex puzzle together, you need good instincts sometimes intuition and can be a process that as with bin laden takes years. i can promise you from my friends within the system, information we got from those enhanced interrogation techniques absolutely were critical to stopping terrorist attacks and ultimately to getting bin laden, period. lou: i would be -- i'll speak for myself here, i would be terribly disappointed if your friends in the intelligence community, my friends, d

sponsor and the neighbors have come a ironic way and the traffic off of fulsome coming and ooufrgz ralph as a cut through to the part of the street to the immediately e immediate north i think one of the questions i have are those mitigation letters enough for the stuff that is actually happening there they're good i go with what commissioner hillis said are they going to mitigate it you can't is it both was y claim have you considered anything else. >> i can speak on behalf of the department typically this project is subject to better streets and looking at the larger streetscape plan the department found the streetscape improvements met the intents of the code and kind of that aspect of the project so i'll let the developer speak on the options they're considered. >> josh from the sponsor we did consider there was a whole list of things we talked about with the neighborhoods we zoned in on the ones we thought we could get done we couldn't make promises to you know choosing the direction of the street or cobblestoneing the street we came up with a solution we didn't get done and didn't

ralph has led a full and exciting life. during his time in congress, he's not just been the hometown congressman from rock well, texas. he's been the hometown congressman to everyone he's encountered. it doesn't matter who you are, ralph wants to find out how he can be helpful to you from the person he met on the street to the person in the texas delegation to the president of the united states, that is the way he is. knowing ralph he's probably got something up his sleeve that he's not telling us about what he's going to do after he leaves congress next month. in fact, when asked about his plans after leaving congress, ralph mentioned he will probably go to work at wal-mart because he has to have a job. ralph's always go the to have something to do, but it goes to show that no matter what he does next, he won't be slowing down any time soon. ralph hall will be greatly missed in this congress, and i'm privileged to call him a colleague and a friend. i'd like to wish him godspeed and all the best as he continues to recover f
