ryan patterson for the appellant. i also want to thank staff for the significant amount of time that you spent in this review. there are other impacts, and in other forums, we've talked about impacts that are appropriate. this is not code compliant, and it requires a variance. today, we're talking about the environmental impacts, and one of those impacts is that the project will be a demolition. planning department has not reviewed demolition calculatio calculations to our knowledge and to our review of the documents, and as the engineers have stated in two new reports which you have before you today, this will be a demolition. a significant portion of the rear wall of this building will be removed for the retaining wall which brings other terms to the impact and flips stablity. this is important for ceqa because a cadx has to have a sufficient description. demolition is not allow index this zone, and it -- is not all allowed in this zone. i commend the supervisors for taking action on one problem, but in the meantime

ryan patterson, attorney for appellant david d' onofrio, neighborhood to the adjacent south. there are a number of significant concerns that the neighbors have raised regarding this project, and of course most of those are for other forums. today we're talking about the environmental impacts under ceqa, and i'd like to begin by reading a short note from my client, who unfortunately due to a work commitment cannot be here. as is the case for many of the neighbors opposed to this project, i am unable to attend this hearing due to work conflicts, currently out of state. myself and virtually all of the adjacent neighbors are looking ahead and are struggling to see how this project as proposed can feasibly be constructed, i would ask the board to consider the significant structural and geotechnical problems in determining whether this project can meet its goals while being built in a structurally, seismically safe sound manner. >> good afternoon, mayor yee and members of the board of supervisors. my name is sarah hoffman. i'm an attorney for the appellant today. so ceqa requires t

ryan patterson for the project sponsors. this is a project for a family in the neighborhood who has been here for decades. they practice dentistry in chinatown for decades. these are not flippers, they are here for their family. the project is completely code compliant and now includes a no waiver a.d.u. that is being added. it is going from three beds to four bedrooms plus a one bed a.d.u. which is a quality a.d.u. , on like some that you see. there have been a few neighbor concerns stated. sunlight, privacy, views and as best as shingles. the neighbor to the north is concerned about shadow on his hypothetical future unbilled solar panels. we don't see any impact on these northern nonexistent solar panels, but to the extent that there could be in the future, my clients have committed to paying up to $5,000 of the cost to elevate the solar panel so they catch more sunlight. on the privacy issue, they are concerned about decks looking -- a deck in the rear looking backwards into the adjacent homes, but if i can have a compute

ryan, $5 million bail set for jake patterson and now we are hearing new horrifying details about these when you think about it. the paren ratireparation showed some thought into it and also wiping down the shotgun after it was used. there were other steps that he took according to the sheriffs department. this is stuff he admitted to, that he was going to work one day, saw this teenaged girl getting on a school bus and decided that is the person he wanted to take. that is the ramifications of this. from there you see all of the planning that went into place. he went to walmart and bought supplies. he even tried to go to this house on two other occasions. it said he made the attempt to do this. he saw people walking around. the next time he decided not to do it. he disabled a dome light to make sure when he came down that driveway that when he opened his door the light would not come on. disabled that to make sure they could not open the back of the trunk. >> scary details. >> yes. >>> still ahead, president trump once said only wlak koes would voe for a guy he approved on twitter. that

what is still unclear why jake patterson chose jayme. ryanyoung reports from barron, wisconsin. >> reporter: as you can imagine, this community is still all smiles when it comes to this story. jayme closs was found. in fact, a lot of people say not only did she survive but she escaped her captor and able to make it out to a road and make it to somebody who was walking a dog and then get to freedom. now we see all of the pictures of her joining her family and getting to enjoy those smiles and her freedom for the first time in over 88 days. there is something else that goes along with this. an investigation to figure out exactly how this man jake patterson discovered this house and decided to take a shotgun, blow open the front doors what the sheriff was telling us and go inside and murder her parents. his first court appearance is monday but a long part of this investigation that is ongoing. listen to the sheriff detailing how they are going through that house the next few hours. >> right now, we are looking for 88 days of evidence, so we are

patterson. and he faces charges of murder and kidnapping. a lot of unanswered questions, ryan.> reporter: not as of right now. we've been trying to figure out the motive, talking to investigators about this. so far they haven't given us any details, but you know, that's what investigators are working on. you have to think about this little girl who was somehow how to break out of a home and be a captor and get to a road to talk to someone, but the dark side to this investigation. the fact that the sheriff told us they believe that jake patterson used a shotgun to blow open the front door. they even gave us a detail he shaved a head so he wouldn't leave any dna behind. listen to the sheriff. >> there's no evidence that we can uncover that the suspect knew the closses, was at their home, worked with them, there doesn't seem to be any connection between mr. patterson and the closs family at all. >> reporter: so you have to focus on that side, of course, but the other side is the story about this entire community and how thousands went work fog that young lady. yesterday we had a c

patterson. he faces two charges of first degree intentional homicide, and a kidnapping charge. cnn's ryan us from jayme's hometown in barron wisconsin. an incredible story. what reaction are you seeing there. ? >> just really unreal. when you think about this, sometimes you have to contain yourself with stories like this one. i was calling all the time to ask the sheriff about this one. the update that we got yesterday about the fact that she was able to escape, and find someone to call 911, is just amazing. and during that news conference, the first one that he had yesterday, when the sheriff was talking, there were people from this community who were showing up who wanted to be in the crowd. they started clapping when he finished talking. you could feel the excitement. because people can't believe she was able to survive like this. and everyone that we talked to about jayme talked about how much of a fighter she is, so you understand this community taking this personally. you're talking about an area that is less than 5,000 people. they are blue ribbons all over this city. and on the bi
