. >> i would respectfully submit that we are the owner of record and we are the property taxpayer. and we are clearly having developed that project under an opdba with the redevelopment agency and the city is well aware that through the records as well as the mailing records of the city that they are the owner of that facility. >> and this proper mailing address is at box a, at that location. >> where is that in the public record? >> you are not answering the question. >> where would you get it as a member of the public? >> is it on the website? >> it should be as... i would have to double check the assess or records. and i am not sure how the radio service is actually generates the list of the 300-foot radius. but it is clearly the owner of record of the facility. and the property tax that you know the property tax rolls should reflect that west field llc should have been noticed and as i said it has received notices in other instances and i believe this was inadvertent we do not believe that anyone was conspiring against us and we don't believe that kettle corn did anything wrong

. >> good afternoon, mary murphy and the county of the appellant, we are here today to respectfully requestt this commission accept jurisdiction over the appeal of the renewal and by dpw to kettle corn star the respond ant. as set forth in the papers before you, they did not receive notice of the intent to issue the permit and only became aware of the permit after kettle corn commenced operations, the request was rejected who asked to put it to this board. when they filed an appeal it was also rejected. we are now before you requesting that you accept jurisdiction because we believe that this matter meets the standards established by section 10 of your board rules that the board may accept jurisdiction in the cases where the board finds that the city intentionally caused the requestor in being late in filing an appeal. the distribution lists demonstrates that the city failed to provide the requisite notice. and in making this request, we understand that this is a difficult situation, both west field and kettle corn have been diligent and have acted in good faith. for the reasons that we do

we respectfully ask for your support for this important request. since 1978 asian neighborhood design has trained over 2600 at risk lo income individuals from under served communities in green construction training, corpently, and cabinet tree and solar panel installation. we service many residents every year and they gain skills in sustainable building, life skills, ged preparation and wrap around services. we are the de facto job provider for the green train academy. it cost $6,500 a year to train these at risk youth in our program versus hundreds of thousands of dollars to incarcerate one of them. we recently celebrated our 40th year serving communities of risk here in san francisco and without your funding our program is in danger of closing our doors. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon budget and finance. clear the decks. light the city lights. we got nothing to hit but the budget highs. you will be great. you will be swell. everything's coming up roses for the city garden. it was good to see chris daly. good to se

public what people in other processes get to debate in private and yet somehow we have done it respectfully and thoughtfully and everybody on the commission has been really committed to these values each when we disagreed about particular items i have felt a sense of good faith. so 6 years ago, 6 years and 3 months ago i didn't and five months. i don't think that i know how much time it will take, and i did speak about the billing was not quite accurate but i am glad to have served and i wish you all of the best and happy to help any of you or this who process going forward if i can. but, the time has come to let somebody else have this chance, and i just want to thank all of you and jack, i feel the same way that i have learned a great deal from working with you and everybody involved with the commission. so, thank you. >> thank you. >> i think that we created the plaques. >> is that the upgrade? >> look at that. shiny elegant. >> and it is smaller. >> every time that i ored one of these i have had to use a different company. so none of them are the same any more. >> you are very cool. >>

and so, i would respectfully submit that we recognize that a nudge in the right direction is something that could be part of an education where we urge people, feel, comfortable asking for flexible work schedules, all of these employers, we offer the flexible work schedules, but this field a little bit like a solution in search of a problem, and i don't see why we need to rush a charter amendment to address something that i don't know that we have established as a problem in san francisco. >> thank you, the next speaker please. >> scott harpy and i own an insurance agency. and i have been advocating for small business for about 30 years now. and i have not heard very frequently the out rage that this legislation has brought. now in all fairness they don't know the amendments and applause for the amendments and i think that you need to go further but they don't know those and they just saw the initial proposals that were put out there and they thought that it was rushed and they thought that they were doing it and those small businesses are doing it and they also see being put in a posi

. >> yeah, this board and i respectfully, i mean obviously you understand your jurisdiction better than anybody, but i believe that this board has always had the opportunity to have the denova review of the permits that are issued on many capacities from many different agencies. and you really are the board of last resort, when the other boards and there is a mechanism for originally showing this to dpw and their response to us actually did not... it seemed odd to me that it is typically the case that the board of appeals can hear all permits, except for the conditional use authorizations. but i think that it is within the purview of the board to hear the appeals of granting or the denial of the permits by the other city agencies and this will be an example of this short of thing that would be within your jurisdiction, and it is really the renewal of the permit and it does come under a permit number for some odd reason. >> this is within your jurisdiction and we disagree with the original decision that you did not have subject matter jurisdiction, but in light of that our best recourse

. >> that is why i urge and respectfully request that you deny this application. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and next speaker please. >> good evening. i'm kristin kylie and i live at 66 crest line and i have for 30 years just down from the property that we are discussing and as a resident of the long time resident of the area i am here to say that san francisco is known for its quality of life for its free spirit in its character that allows its residents to express our modern and progressive life styles and importance of view and all of this lends itself to living in that area as an ex-tening of the entire city. and the free spaces allow or integral to the entire quality of life of living up there. and not only do they provide us for safety knowing that at any time in the event of fire and any other emergency we can make the quick exits that these areas provide and knowing that we can, the area express our nature and our appreciation of having open space around us. having clear air funneling through our area where we live. all of this is important to the lifestyle that we had chosen

respectfully for the gentleman, very articulate man who came

and for these reasons we respectfully request that the board up hold this permit as is. with no new conditions, and in accordance to the city planning commission, almost unanimous position, thank you very much. >> mr. sanchez. >> could you switch off the projecter? >> thank you. >> thank you, scott sanchez the planning department, the subject property is located within an rm 1 and that is a residential mixed low density unit. and the subject building permits application and it is located in just of the san francisco development that was developed in 1965, and there is a little bit of a development history on this lot, and in 1998. they sought a subdivision and a variance to split off the lot and at the time it had required a variance for the subdivision and that bas heard by the zoning administrator at the time mr. pass moore who is here this evening and i understand at the time he was inclined to deny the variance application and that application was withdrawn and there were no development proposals on the site until 2009 when this building permit application was submit

to the contrary, respectfully, he's tried to avoid the conversation, number one. number two, when he says a politician can't have an impact, so yes, he gives a wonderful spe speech, but he basically kicks it back to community leaders, business leaders, celebrities and athletes, and that's real, but the president can't absolve himself of it. and number three, i don't believe the president doesn't believe that he can have a role in leading us in a moral conversation. this is not a political issue. this is a moral issue. i don't know how he can't lead us in a conversation on this, but he can on gay marriage? he can on a litany of other -- he can on israel and palestine and not rice? >> okay, but what is this in particular? i mean, the president spoke about ringing bias from our lives. these are infinite conversations between plaques and whites that are very difficult to have in a big public setting. but i think when you start boiling it down, it is the question i thought he was asking which is what is the this? there is no federal program that can deal with this. so

campos and wiener foyer the successful cap and a trade revenues and state of good repair needs respectfully with the balance for affordable housing. the details will be worked out in the months ahead working with the mayor's office and the regional advocates and m t c to make sure that the cap and trade revenues are made available. those are especially important statements and calls for the revenues that don't come close to meeting our operation systems mostly in san francisco that take the largest share in the bay area. the mayors task force and the san francisco transportation plan are corporating on the advocacy efforts. and that conclusions my remarks. if there are no comments or questions from the commission we can go onto the public comment >> commissioner wiener. >> thank you chair avalos and thank you for recapping the joint m t c a planning bay plan. i want to reiterate what you mentioned on capital needs. i offered a project that should go to capital replacement and that amendment was adopted. we as we learn through the plan bay area process have an absolutely massive unfunded cap

we disagree. >> okay, john. >> you respectfully disagree, and that's good. >> we respectfully disagreeis, john. the fact that zimmerman has said, well, his instructor said he only had limited skills, even though he was training two or three times a week for a year, but it also comes back to mind that zimmerman said he didn't know anything about stand your ground. and then his teacher comes on and said oh, no, we talked about it extensively, and he got an a in the class. so, again, is this web of lie theory going to come back in the end to try to even discount this? >> i don't think so. and it should. the point of it, not only was he in a class where he was learning about stand your ground, he was also learning about the laws of self-defense, and he was taking self-defense classes. so all of this goes to the effect of making himself physically fit to meet any particular challenge out there. and for him to deny it and to try to make himself sound like a clucks and a person's inability to take care of himself, i don't think the jury will accept that. that doesn't go to a lot of other issu

in closings i respectfully request a 3 month stay of execution on the station underpass while we reach out to it bridge reconstruction experts that will be on time and budget >> thank you. anyone else on the public who would like to speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. ms. lombardy could we discuss it a little bit. i know that supervisor cowen is very supportive of moving this forward and i see in the transportation slides there's one package of the public concerns >> we propose that our citizen advisory committee we've responded to him. >> good morning transportation planner with the authority. i do have a presentation if you're interested but i can go over the key concerns we heard from the community last fall and what we've done since then there are 4 major issues. first of all, a couple of issues with the design of the road. we've redesigned the intersection of the connector road that would provided alternative direction. the connector road would serve all the same connections that quinton street does today. the second is providing u7b8gd landscaping and we're coordinating

in summary i'm respectfully asking you to a discretionary review with a few things in mind the nature impact to the light we receive and the issues brought up to the gentleman and the use of the neighbors homes for improper preferences >> thank you. oh, is this a 3 minute part >> i'm about to ask if there's speakers in favor of the drs proposal. >> good evening. several months ago i was asked to look at the documents for the remodel for 2425. the proposal presented we're going to identify any project adjusts. we look at the guidelines with regards to the light well, it's an understandable revision and you're relating the modifications that in my experienced in san francisco typically smaller lots are for smaller projects and the oppose for larger ones. this structure can lead to over building the site. we came to the following conclusions first, the impact on the clients light well. and second the impact on the other light wells individually may have seemed small but taken as a whole it has a substantial impact on the quality of light and air. there's some things to be discussed and i

. >> i respectfully beg to differ. was another person there in. >> there were a couple other witnesses. >> i mean respectfully the other person there is not among us anymore? >> right. because he's the only one communicates. >> he can't speak because he's dead? >> yeah. >> okay. were you aware that the deceased, the victim in this case, trayvon martin was on the phone with lady? >> yes, sir. >> you didn't review her statement, did you? >> no, sir. >> when you worked with the medical examiner's office you in most cases attempted to find out all the information before you came to an opinion? >> it depends on what the case is about. often the information from the witnesses goes more towards the manner of death rather than the cause of death. in this case there's no question the manner of death. >> are you suggesting that in all the witnesses testimony should be disregarded? >> for my purpose, not for the jury but for my purposes it's not important in my giving my opinion. >> in terms of your limited opinion in terms of th

i respectfully disagree. i know they share the goal of preventing a nuclear capable iran but i believe we should take a different approach. our efforts to impose new sanctions should not be based on the iranian political calendar. the paramount consideration should be the iranian nuclear clock, the amount of time it will take iran to achieve a nuclear weapon's capability. i have no reason to believe that the results of the recent iranian election will fundamentally alter iran's current course. the unelected supreme leader, the ayatollah, remains the one true decision maker. and the president-elect rohani who was deceiving the international community when he served as iran's chief nuclear negotiator made clear during the campaign that he supports iran's nuclear app bigses. i yield myself 30 seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 130ekds. mr. engel: if rohani has the authority to make a bold gesture, like suspending enrichment, he has the small window of opportunity before this bill b

. >> well, respectfully, i disagree. >> respectfully? >> i do. >> that's part of the process.dge has to be sure and she has to voir dire the defendant in every criminal case to make sure he's knowingly and voluntarily giving up his right to testify. mike but the question was the timing. >> that would be -- i think what the law calls harmless error. even if she to have waited another 90 seconds after the state rested, that wouldn't have changed the outcome. >> let me get about a 15 second answer from each of you because that's all the time we he have. your opinion of the judge, deborah ne nelson. lis? >> fair and balanced like we are at fox. i thought maybe she was a little tired, overly angry at the defense. >> i think the world of this judge. i think she's one of the sharpest, most efficient and fairest judges we've seen in a high profile case in a long time. she's really done a good job to move this case forward and keep control in her courtroom. >> and she was no judge ito. >> that is the truth. >> she was not hamming for the cameras. >> i think we have to remember, too, th
