shannon gallagher. subject prieta 2101 washington street. a permit to alter a building. new plumbing fixtures, park improvements, lights, new retaining walls, and it. witt will start with the appellant. you have seven minutes. >> thank you. at one of three open committee meetings, it was suggested that the san francisco mind troupme e be honored. to commemorate them, the amphitheater was designed. it turns out the friends of lafayette park and had it wrong. in 1962, they performed once at washington square park. the following year, the recreation and parks commission denied them the permit for for their performances fighting their act was obscene. ironically, this non-history is being commemorated at our park while one of the most important historical aspects, the holiday house, is not even getting a plaque. instead it is getting paid men and picnic tables. which brings me to one important piece of new information for the commission to consider. the apparent remnants of the holiday mansion were brought to my attention by local historian rand richards, author of three boo

the first thing i want to state it as i have been working with shannon and ms. gallagher in terms of reviewing the project and what has been going on. she did not live in her condo at the time where they had meetings, she had renters and the notices went to renters and not to her well -- when she lived in chicago. that is where she was not involved. my concerns grew when i was watching the demolition going on. i made a call to the building inspection and i asked there was a permit on july 2. i filed a complaint when i filed -- found out it was not a permit and went down on july 6 to discuss this with donald duffy who was the inspector for this project. ms. gallagher and i sat down and show them the pictures and they were concerned and said they would go straight out to the park to see what was going on. at that point, they indicated they had seen the architect with the plants running around the building inspection place to file them so they could get that permit issued. i find it ironic that i am hearing it was an oversight they did not have the job card which is supposed

during this time, i have never seen shannon gallagher at the park. we could just miss each other. i am -- i care very much about my part -- park and have worked tirelessly towards this plan that has been talked about tonight. which was approved in 2008 through the bond. it is very disturbing to think that one person can file an appeal and we can get a project lead to the extent that we have. i feel very certain that if ms. gallagher really had interests, she could have presented this before we started construction. when we in fact sat at my house for a week, night after night filling out envelopes to the owners of the people in the neighborhood, she could have received this in chicago as well as in san francisco. i feel certain you will understand how important this is to all of us. we have had tremendous relationship building from the landscape architect and many other people involved. our goal is to do the right thing, but we want our part gone in a timely manner, and we are working toward a common and are trying to address all issues before it started. please understand how imp

however, in referring to the documents that shannon gallagher referred to that we got on august 20, we looked through those and find that there are still some things that are slipping through the cracks that i want to bring to your attention. the items that i'm going to talk about are on the 820 disc and they include daily reports that we first received on 8/20 and hadn't seen before along with an inspection log. we hadn't seen any inspection log prior to august 26 when we i picked up the cd. i want to show you the inspection log and there are a couple of items i highlighted in yellow. first is this northern bench where you can see has a failure score for its foundation, for the soil that was tested. how did they respond to that. on the august 13 daily report, they ripped it out. they identified that there was a problem with the foundation. they ripped it out. after that, on the next day, the august 14th report, they fixed it. they started recompacting the soil because the soil had failed and looks like they're going to do a good job on this item. however that's not the case with one o
