keach: workers enter a tunnel behind the staircase. twelve centuries earlier, other workers had built the hieroglyphic stairs on top of an existing building. the space between was filled with rubble, which was usually densely packed. this fill is very loose. why such shoddy construction ? was it evidence that the king who commissioned the stairway had little support among his workers ? what had gone wrong ? once again, a maya king had been killed by a rival kingdom. at copan, that king was 18 rabbit. the hieroglyphic staircase was built by his successors in a symbolic attempt to assert the status of copan's ruling dynasty. so in fact, we believe the stairway is a beautiful example of political propaganda. they were trying to make up for the fact that they lost the thirteenth king in war by projecting an image of all of the copan kings as glorious and powerful warriors. keach: and so the elaborate inscriptions of the ancient maya were created largely to bolster the power of their rulers. 3,000 years before the maya, and thousands of mil

but if the project sponsor doesn't want to create this circular staircase, which might take a little less space, maybe a trade-off with them using part of the space that exists and part of that space out there, a lesser amount than proposed, might be a solution. so, those are my main feelings on the project. >> zoning administrator sanchez. >> thank you. i want to speak briefly to the variance. as has been noted there is a variance from the rear yard requirement that's being sought by the project and there is no side yard requirement, also has been noted under the planning code, but being raised under the d-r as a pattern and they would like the commission to consider that. i first heard this variance on april 24th of this year. at that time the section 311 notice had just gone out a few days prior and the adjacent neighbor spoke in opposition to the project. at that hearing i took a matter under advisement but i did not take a decision on the variance. i did express concerns related to the variance very much along the lines that commissioner antonini expressed. i did state that ther

it was made clear that the lower internal staircase in the house did not meet code and was difficult to navigate and would need to be reconfigured. thankfully the marina, flat neighborhood offers an active chapter of the village which is seniors aging in place. given the input received 3700 broderick was a clear choice for them. this is through my clients are and have been for the four years that i have known them. they are straightforward people who speak plainly and abide by the rules. this campaign against their plans for this house is a disappointment to them and a blemish on an otherwise neighborly marina district. the suggestion that a trend exists for side yards, landscaped or not, is pure fiction. the overwhelming majority of marina properties consume the full width of their lot and i have literally never heard a discussion about side yards being a factor in anyone's choice of marina property. there's more. may i go on? >> you have 15 seconds. >>> okay. one last item, the owners of 1990 jefferson were distraught that their neighbor david lacy, former owner of 3700 broderick t

my favorite of all is in the staircase. it's almost a miracle masterpiece how he could manage to not only fit everyone, of course, a lot of them i recognized from my childhood -- it's how he juxtaposed and managed to kind of climb up that stairway on either side very much like you are walking down a street. it was incredible to do that and to me, that is what depicted the life of the times in san francisco. i even like the ones that show the industrial areas, the once with the workers showing them in the cannery and i can remember going in there and seeing these women with the caps, with the nets shuffling these cans through. my parents had a ranch in santa rosa and we went there all summer. i could see these people leaning over and checking. it looked exactly like the beautiful things about the ranch. i think he was pretty much in the never look back philosophy about the coit. i don't think he ever went to visit again after we moved from telegraph hill, which was only five or six years later. i don't think he ever had to s

so it's fitting that visitors will descend to the main exhibits of the museum beside an enormous staircase, that served as an escape route. >> greenwald: on 9/11, hundreds of people ran to safety down this stair. >> stahl: the so-called "survivor staircase" is one of several artifacts so big, the museum had to be built around them-- like this fire engine lowered in through a hatch in the roof that will honor first responders, 441 of whom lost their lives; and the famous last column, the final, massive remnant of the towers to be removed from the site. but we found that some of the most powerful things on display here... okay, so that's flight 11. >> greenwald: takes off from boston. >> stahl: ...won't be physical artifacts at all. oh, look, the second plane. a large projection on the wall will show the morning of 9/11 as it played out in the air... >> greenwald: flight 11 is hijacked. meanwhile, flight 77 leaves. >> stahl: ...with the simultaneous flight paths of the four planes. >> greenwald: and now, flight 93 takes off. impact has already happened in new york. >> stahl: oh, look at this

have you seen the computer generated animation bubble wall, grand staircase video that kill roy has onheir website? it is gorgeous. anyone would want to be a neighbor of that building. i do find it peculiar, though, that all of the renderings on that site, including the animation, depict mission as though it has already been approved for the increase and over a hundred feet for a grand total of 455. i think i saw a picture that stated that the top of the buildings was 375 feet, and i'm not sure all the documentation i have from you states 350 feet on the approved project. forgive me if i'm distorting that in some way. and i understand that the planning department's plan for our neighborhood contemplates mixed residential, commercial, and office use which is terrific, anchored by that wonderful transbay terminal when it is finished. i look forward to that day. the additional floors requested in this proposal will significantly increase the shadows over mission street. let's just go ahead and put that on the table, shall we, because it's going to throw a shadow. it's going to

it used to sit on his staircase, halfway up, on the windowsill, with the sun shining through it.from when you were-- yes. okay. well... this is a typical piece of scandinavian glass. they started doing this really heavy crystal glass and then deep cutting it in the late 19th century. but, more characteristically, in the '30s. what we've got on here is two sort of-- i don't know, maidens of the sky-- the wind, maybe-- drifting through these highly stylized birds. it's utterly charming. i mean, i'm with you entirely. this, to me, is just fantastic. i love the '50s anyway, and this is great. what we have got on this is a wealth of information. we've got "1903-1953". now, clearly, this is 50 years of something. i think this is a company ordering special glass for its half-centenary. did you know that just down here there's a signature? yes, i just recently found that. okay. actually, what this says here is "orrefors". that's a very famous glass manufacturer in scandinavia. a lot needs doing on this. it deserves further attention, because my feeling is that your £150 has turned itself
