commissioner antonini: my congratulations to scott sanchez. very popular in san francisco. congratulations, scott. on another item today, today's "chronicle," great area -- great article on the area south of the china basin. there were a couple of things i think the public should know about that. the area is large, and there is talk of an arena that would only take up a portion of that. my calculations are only maybe 25% of the available area, so there is room for more development, still consistent with the parking needs which the giants have, which i think would be sufficient for the arena use. the second thing about the rain is is not just focused on the warriors or an nba team, which is very important, but i think that arena, that facility would get used as many as 300 days a year because it is such a good location. i have talked to a number of people in the entertainment area, and they feel it might be a site for major concerts' because people want to be in san francisco and its accessibility is terrific. i think it would be a great economic boom, not to mention other t

>> scott sanchez, planning department staff. i did speak with the permit holder's architect last thursday. during his testimony, he indicated he had submitted materials to me. i have not received any materials from him. we did discuss last week that they would need to submit materials. this was the thursday before the hearing that was the last day to submit those materials. i told him to contact the executive director and the board of appeals to get clarification on what the sport had required. also at the last hearing, due to research from the appellant, we were able to find out that they were going to try to do certain things under the addenda, outputing two 8-foot wide rush doors with a 20-foot curb cuts as opposed to what was approved. there was also a plant their wanted to submit that would braid around the rear of the house -- grade around the rear of the house and definitely would change what we had approved. i said to them at the last hearing that they could not make these changes under the addenda. i am not aware of the

scott sanchez, zoning administrator. the predominant pattern here is the full-lot being developed. these are not detached dwellings. on at least two of the other corners of the properties, the lots are substantially smaller. the are taking advantage of the same planning code. this is a pattern of development on the corners of properties. i would further argued that this will actually preserve the mid- block open space because the lots that are being developed here will be a little bit shorter than some of the adjacent lots. with a yard requirement of 29%, they will not be able to build back much further. there will not be further encroachment. additionally, the pattern of development viewed from los alamos would be consistent. you would see properties of roughly 25 to 28 built to the width of the property lines. this would be consistent with what is on los alamos currently. >> out of curiosity, are there any rules about how far out the building comes to the lot line? >> there is a front set back requirement based on the average of the adjacent properties. the project as proposed he

. >> good evening, scott sanchez, planning department. there was an application to merge two dwelling units. the second unit was added in the early 1980's the certificate of completion was in 1984, approximately. the project sponsor is looking to remove the second unit. they requested a mandatory restriction area review -- discretionary review. to take this review and deny the request. the planning department requested a denial because they found that it did not meet the majority of the opinions and there was not a majority of the italians -- of the opinions. this is a rental unit. this was stated on the project's sponsors application. this is intended for owner occupancy. this met the third findings of prevailing occupancy. there are quite a few single family dwellings. this did not meet the fourth finding which is that it comes closer to conformity with the prescribed zoning paren. the final finding is that this was a dwelling unit that was added fairly recently in the 1980's. the project sponsor has raised issues but really there are f

scott chen says, planning department. -- this got sanchez -- scott sanchez, planning department. >> regarding the view from the public right away, i went out of the location and i walked down and found that there was not much of an impact on the view. it was probably a 5 foot stretch or so. there is a lot of vegetation. a lot had been recently cut. this is not sufficient to have an adverse finding. this is not public open space or a public park. this is not a feud that we would say that needs to be protected at all costs. those are the things that i wanted to update the board on. >> how is it noticed when a project is going to affect any of you from any public place? -- an view from any public place. >> there is a section which applies to the building additions. not just structures. there has been a subsequent interpretation that in certain occasions we would do notification of decks, especially if they are in the your yard -- the rear yard. that is why we would not do notification. >> what about any structure that would affect viewsd from public spaces? >> if this was like a pet house, this

>> scott sanchez. the building department is the first step in the process. they will receive the addendum from the project architect and then will decide if there are changes that need to be reviewed by planning. that is the first step in the process. definitely our department would not want to approve anything, even without the board conditioning it. we believe it should be built as per the site plan. this was the result of a discretionary review application as well. the board making findings and conditions would only strengthen that. commissioner garcia: just to review, the issues have to do with the grading, the width of the garage, the width of the curb cut, and the height. >> i understand it to be the width of the garage door, the width of the curb cut, the grading, and the overall height. president peterson: what about the back door? >> that resulted from the grating. it would not allow them to have the back door, which would be accessed from a plea room on the ground level. -- that resulted from the rading. -- grading. it would not allow them to have

. >> scott sanchez, planning department staff. just to clarify, this is a printout from our property information system. the top permit is the june permit. this means it was given to the department of building inspection. if it was an over-the-counter permit, it does stay with the permit holder and they bought it from station to station. they may have just gone down, had the number registered, and taken the permit with them. i will let the deputy director kornfield elaborate, but that is my understanding of the process. that is what the plans may not be on file with the department. vice president goh: i wonder if i can see that again. that is revision 2. what is revision 1? >> the skylights and windows not visible from the street. vice president goh: to add skylights. that is dated april of this year. >> i think the permit was submitted in february. the action date is the last inspection date on the system. the permit number indicates the application date. it looks like it was a february 24 application. that was revision one for t

scott sanchez, planning department staff. the subject property is in a zoning district which is commercial. a pharmacy is considered a retail use, and it is principally permitted in the zoning district. the subject application does not require any notification or public hearing. it was appropriately approved over the counter at may of this year -- in may of this year. there was a permit issued last fall for eight dwelling units turned into a laundry room, so this is a different project that i think was being undertaken at the same time that this private was in process, as well, so i just wanted to make that available to the board. commissioner garcia: mr. sanchez, how was this permit issued? >> this was an over the counter which came in in may of this year. commissioner garcia: this was mentioned during the jurisdictional hearing. apparently, the police have weighed in on this and are opposed to this. do you feel it is necessary, i guess? issues like this get some more vetting? >> i understand the concern, and after the juris

. >> if i may add something, scott sanchez, planning department's staff.i would like to put on the overhead a parcel map that has the no. aero. the shaded property is the permit holder's property. the appellant is on the adjacent block. that is why they do not show on this. but it is directly to the south. i think it would probably be more the afternoon sun that would be impacted, especially more so in the wintertime when the sun is lower in the sky. commissioner garcia: the time when you would most like to be in your backyard. >> commissioners, the matter is submitted. commissioner fung: a couple of things i would note first, before i for a direction of would like to propose. the deck is a fairly substantial back across the year -- across the rear of the property. the access to that that occurs through sliding doors -- the access to that deck occurs through a sliding doors in the larger dimension of the deck. the area we are talking about is actually the side of the house. i can understand the desire for greater privacy where they have windows there, but

scott sanchez, planning department's staff. this is a complex case. i have brought diego sanchez, a staff planner. i think the permit holder has done an excellent job in outlining the design considerations. i would like to focus on the process. the building permit application -- that building permit was submitted in april 2008. subsequently, this variance application was submitted in may 2008. it went out for a neighborhood notification. it was heard before the planning commission on october 15, 2009. the planning commission did approve it with a six-one vote. commissioner olague was opposed. there was a condition that parking not be at the rear of the building. that was the planning commission action. after that hearing -- at that hearing, the zoning administrator granted the variance that is before you today. after that hearing, they did submit revisions that included a garage at the front of the property. this was the subject of a variance hearing in june. during this time, after the notification went out and before the hearing was held, we took a s

. >> scott sanchez, planning department's staff. the answer to that question is yes. commissioner garcia: thank you. >> mr. morgan, is in response to the commissioner's question? >> i would like to reiterate first of all that there are those stated e-mails that say most of the construction was done by may 25. that cannot be ignored. i cannot think of any other reason for them not to apply for a permit other than it would go up on mthe dbi website. they did not do any of reach until the jurisdiction request was filed. commissioner garcia: they already responded. vice president goh: i thought she was answering commissioner fun. -- fung. commissioner garcia: i think we have had enough discussion. president peterson: thank you. >> the matter is submitted. commissioner garcia: i wish we had captain verity's letter. -- captain garrity's letter. there have been times -- i am not saying this to discredit ms. morgan. there have been times when the police sent representatives to our board to weigh in on issues that affect the community. they have done it with certain massage pa

scott sanchez, planning department. we can certainly appreciate the appellant's concerns and issues regarding financing. however, that is not a suitable criteria for justifying granting them a variance. additionally, this hardship is self imposed given the 1975 decision to allow construction at the front of the property. additionally, had the timing of this worked differently, had there been a stwigstrire to the 2007-2008 fourth floor addition, based on the plans, i believe that the rear upper part of the fourth floor would have required a variance. it was in a buildable area at the time it was proposed. but given the current lot, it would have otherwise required a variance. the appellant essentially argues that every lot split should be approved. i don't see where the end of the logic is. essentially anything that comes before the zoning administrator should be approved for the division of a lot. the other examples are incomparable to the subject location. they have different issues and facts. we find in this case the

pokes fun at sanchez and he continued that last night we he used edited clips of sanchez's show to compare him to michael scottedibly awkward. >> i can't imagine it was a compliment. >> i don't think anybody wants to compare him to that. we will move on from this to "dancing with the stars." the comedian got the lowest score last night. bristol palin didn't do much better with 19 points. one higher than cho. the winner was audrina patridge who received the first nines of the season. >> all the judges said they could tell what our emotions were and we expressed the right emotions. >> jennifer grey and her partner were in second with triple eights. brandy and rick fox and their partners also got the same score. kurt warner and her partner were tied followed by florence henderson and then everyone's favorite right there. >> look at this outfit. >> the mesh shirt is the situation. >> what do you think, caskey? >> that is awesome. that is hilarious. i love it. it is entertaining. >> this is great. the cameraman always looking for the best angles and there will never be better one of this. he stood directly in the p
