sider? >> thank you for the opportunity to respond. first, just to reply to mr. gladstone's good-natured remarks about what the planning code does and does not say, i would quickly mention that planning codes section 311, subsection c, subsection one does require compliance with residential design guidelines, which mandates the 15-foot setback. there it is. secondly, with respect to square footage, possibly and misstated something. i am not sure. the point of which to communicate is that the square footage of the home as established by criteria lengths would be unaffected by the reconfiguration to address at the commission's concerns. let me back a second, if i could. one of the things that struck me during public comment was the tone of the commons. -- comments. it is refreshing to hear from a group of people that are enlightened about the character of their neighborhood and change to their neighborhood, the maturation of their neighborhood. i cannot begin to articulate how unusual that is. it is to be cherished. with that in mind, i need to address some of the

sider? this appeal concerns a permit that was an over-the-counter approval by the planning department and the building department as well. it is not subject, a deck of this type, nor the interior improvements -- they are not subject to neighborhood notice. the view issues, property value concerns, and loss of privacy -- only the loss of privacy is contemplated by department policies, and then only in an adjunct capacity. the proposal is not extraordinary or unusual. the loss of privacy is something typical in a dense urban environment like san francisco. the discussions just now by the project sponsor with respect to privacy screens i think are intriguing. beyond that, i would reiterate there is nothing about this proposal that strikes us as extraordinary or unusual. the permit is right. in absence of compromise by the parties involved in measures that could be taken for mutual benefit, such as a privacy screen, we would urge you to uphold the approval of this permit application. commissione

sider, would we expect to see drawings in a situation like this with a second story deck? >> i think there are two issues here. the first is the plants that were reviewed and approved when the permit itself was approved. there certainly were plans included. our staff would not have issued an approval without plans. the second issue and the more critical one tonight is the presence of those plans at this hearing. based on my understanding of your procedures and policies, it is pretty unusual for an appellant to not provide those or not look to provide those. i cannot offer any more insight. commissioner fung: i think it is more the permit holder would provide it to us. >> i stand corrected. president goh: thank you. >> no further questions? the matter is submitted. commissioner fung: we want to start? -- do you want to start? president goh: no, please. commissioner fung: part of the issue here is that people got used to their rear yard and privacy for all the years they have lived there. the problem is blending in those concerns with what is basically a" compliant solution

but the summer i thought remain at the foot of the table following the one one draw with a car home siders were on course to move out of the drop zone going up to ten minutes. the pair letting rip but with nine minutes. meaning ilya kind of popped up with an equalizer from car heartbreak for the hard working men who stay rooted to the bottom the if one just two out of eighteen games so far this season. a quick look at the foot of the table confirms that it's clearly and are sitting on a dozen points missing the chance to move. because of last night's results chorus the eleventh but that's only seven points clear of the relegation zone. the other end it see a scout who are still the team to catch after the weekend's action though the muscovites only managed to draw at f.c. crossness on sunday meaning champions and eight have closed the gap to five points at the summit their third closely followed by angie and ruby. meanwhile a goal against league leaders c.s.k. on has been voted as the best of the past season in europe by a portuguese magazine the strike choosing where sergei del adolphus e

the fact that after helping to create a housing bubble the banks then just hired a bunch of robo siders who are millions of americans lives but it was also ray of hope that at least there was somebody out there like that who had the guts to stand up to the obama administration he was standing his ground and he realized that this would let the banks get away without justice being due. that's what we thought yesterday and then came this piece of news has been kicked off of the executive committee it was made up of thirteen attorneys general who were involved in the direct negotiations with the banks but you guys hear that the one man who was opposed to this bogus deal has now just been booted from the committee that's what you get for having a mind of your own these days for daring to stand up to corruption the powers that be just kick you off and remove you from the entire process that is a big deal i have got something of the mainstream media is content to miss. now as the search for moammar gadhafi continues as well as the fighting between rebel and broke off the forces in tripoli we g

sarah sider in rolled into the capital and watched as they seized control of the main square and watched as the people came alive. >> there were expectations of a blood bath, there wasn't one, at least not on this day. we begin our coverage with sarah who is still in tripoli. she's not live. let's -- let's take a look back at what she got and we'll talk to her live. >> fin, finish. >> tripoli very happy. gadhafi finish. now leave. >> what you're seeing behind me are the rebels are now saying there's going to be a massive battle here. they do not have full control of the city. >> at the moment we're not fully in control of tripoli because you can see, you can see that. >> what is this making -- how do you feel about this day? you are from tripoli. why is this day important? a historic day? >> historic day because we had to leave from here and now we had it to fight. i'm not a fighter. i'm a student. it's my first time with a gun. >> civilians are now gone from here and we also have to leave. >> what's happening as everyone starts gathering, [ inaudible ] we are here in the middle of tripo

straight to sarah rah sider in who has been covering the story, she drove into the city, she is out ofy. sara sidner excellent job. set the scene for me. i understand you are in zawiyah, the town west of the capital. what have you seen tonight? >> reporter: that's right. we've seen and heard fighting in the city center, more so actually than yesterday and so things are always changing with these conflicts especially in an urban setting because there are of course going to be some rebels coming from all over the country literally coming in to tripoli, some of them know the city very well, some of them do not and have been training to try to learn the city, to know where to go, but we do understand that there have been some teams of journalists who have turned corners and found themselves face to face with what could be gadhafi forces and had to turn tail and run. a difficult situation especially when it gets dark. hard for the rebels to figure out just what they're dealing with. the one thing to note here is that for days, months really, the gadhafi regime, gadhafi himself said there wi

. >> sarah sider in have been in there twice and said you better goet out because it's dangerous.rian todd reporting. good report. >>> as we watched the collapse of gadhafi's regime we can also see an impact on the world's oil supply and the price of gas. the final battle in libya could affect all of us. stay with us. you're in "the situation room." pain relief that works at the site of pain... up to 12 hours. salonpas. >>> president obama says moammar gadhafi's regime is clearly coming to an end, that's a direct quote, a little perspective on how long gadhafi has ruled libya. the united states has had eight presidents over the course of his reign when he took power in september 1969, richard nix quon was in the white house. president obama was only 8 years old. that same year americans landed on the moon for the first time, "sesame street" debuted, gasoline cost 35 cents a gallon. 42 years later, gadhafi is almost gone. meanwhile a rebel victory in libya could have positive ripple effects for all of us at the gas pump. mary snow is working this part of the story for us. the impac
