as scott sanchez assessed the corner lot with regards to whether it fronts on another street, he believed that development regulations of the planning code should be applied to the property. while my lot is typical 25x100 lot, it is atypical in the way that it was developed. applying development regulations to the corner parcel is based on hypothetical development, as if my lot is the property being developed. it is not. my property has an existing building on it that is in the rear yard. this building is both protected by planning code 134c4b and r.d.g. for rear cottages as described by sucre and watte. the lot at 897 carolina street is not a lot under development. it has a building on it with two units and two families. to analyze this property on the basis of planning purposes for development is flawed. so in this case it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the existing building itself and its orientation to the street. since there are two streets, it is necessary to look at the frontage initially and fronts on next. the building has two frontages. carolina and 22nd. and the

kris sanchez joins us live from our newsroom with the president's response this morning. kris? >> hey there, laura and scott people were arrested after successfully crossing that border and president trump this morning urging mexican authorities to deport anyone who was left behind, back to their native countries. just this morning two hours ago, president trump tweeted they are not coming into the usa. we will close the border permanently if need be. congress, fund the wall!" in the same tweet, he wrote of the migrants, "many of whom are stone cold criminals." but that is counter to this image captured by a reuters news photographer of a mother running with little girls, one of them who isn't even wearing shoes. they were among the 500 central americans trying to rush the san ycedero point of entry after they were denied to seek asylum in the u.s., which is not illegal to seek asylum in the united states. the crossing was shut down by mexican federal police and u.s. customs and border patrol agents who used tear gas after agents claimed some migrants threw rocks at them. the american civil liberties union

sanchez, n bay area news. >> president trump will not pete with vladimir putin at the g-20 summit after all. >> scott mcgrew, that's not the biggest news out of washington in morning. >> reporter: no, it isn't, not by a long shot. the big story michael cohen pleading guilty that he led lied to the senate about trump's business dealings with the russians. cohen says he did not tell the truth when he said trump had stepped away from a hotel deal in moscow when he started running for president. in fact, the special counsel and michael cohen agree trump kept working towards that deal even after the iowa caucuses in 2016. now the president is named in the court documents as individual one, but it's clear it's the president. but be clear, he's not in legal trouble for trying to make had a hotel deal, something he pointed out repeatedly while talking to reporters on the south lawn this morning. >> there would be nothing wrong if i did do it. i was running my business while i was campaigning. there was a good chance that i wouldn't have won in which case i would have gotten back into the business, and why should i l

scott, the current governor, term limited. on the other hand you're looking at governor's race where currently the mayor off tallahassee is going up against a conservative sanchezgill umhas gained momentum in the race and what gillumis able to bring to the table is voter turnout and on both sides is too close to call. some are showing bill nelson underperforming in terms of how much support they're able to draw. so there's a slim possibility off a gillum/scott win. unlikely but it is possible. >> i can say this for a whole host of states. the enormous margin president trump won by 2016. he would be comfortably ahead. but in the marcia blackburn race, that's not the case. why not? why that disconnection with between the president showing just two years ago and where blackburn finds herself today. >> obviously one of the most popular democrats this state has ever produced. marcia blackburn, his opponent is a fiery partisan who has really tried to rile up the base. she has really tide herself to president trump who is planning to come here one more time before the election. which kind of shows you that the election is really close. we've had several polls that say
