commissioner moore: spiraled stairs, why they are not considered exiting stairs. the fire department does not allow them anymore. your concerns are about intrusion in the rear yard including that the weather be primary and it's not be necessary to have an external stair. the buildings are very large for what they are. it doesn't become excessively space consuming. i think that the stairs should be inside. this building reminds me of a discussion we had on california and 20th street. it was a slightly different situation. this is different than the comments we made at theaat time. it doesn't take a stand in being a more modern facade on its own. it could do a little bit more. if you feel comfortable taking that on, this exterior needs more help. >> we could add that to the motion. >> he has worked with us so often. i am sure that it will be fine. >> that is part of the motion. absolutely. >> the concern about these stairs in the rear yard is actually two fold. the issue is a variance as well for the rear yard and the lot size. the concern is the connection to the u

[applause] >> well, good morning. welcome to sunny san francisco. thank you again, general, for your work as chair of our fleet regas association but you haven't really done a tremendous job. i wanted to add to your personal story. you know, i was sent over by former mayor gavin newsom to new orleans a few years ago, and we study what had happened there, and we realized that one of the things that had occurred in new orleans was a breakdown between city government and the neighborhoods, and such that when the hurricane hit and the flooding happened, so many people left the city, and then they did not come back. because there was no relationship between local government and many of the neighborhoods and many of the residence. that lesson burned in my mind for a very long time. so it is that much more important, general, that when you put this fleet we together, that you made a disaster preparedness a thing -- the inme vis

how can they not stair. arms and legs, pieces of torso scattered, the smell of new death and feared hair. they must be asking the same question. a person who blows themselves up must believe in something. must believe in something or else not. hopelessness degreesed in apnigzs, righteousness disguised in a tuxedo of death much the children don't understand. i being of the dead dying man the bleeding bystanders who left to buy cheese or tobacco. in car bombs suicide bombs and we keep talking as though this will end like the final judgment of that black man who looks white and sleeps with boys but doesn't touch them. after the bleeding the children's shoes will be forever stained in the crimson color of death. who will set the doves free then. >> the next is sdaefrt on the horizon. i'm sure many of you have seen or heard regularly in the news. my father came from iran so every time i see those headlines and get an article in my e mail i have this moment of panic thinking about my family members in iran who mig

and the filbert street stairs, because of the rockfall that occurred, new stairs were built, and they were built in a manner that when rockfalls occur, that actually lift out the stairs and put them on the ground and allow the crane to get back there to access the rockfall. >> beyond that, the building that we see at the bottom of the rockfall was actually designed to allow barack to fall off and be compounded by the building -- actually designed to allow barack to fall off and be impounded by the building. >> that is the corner of sansome and green. every couple years, there is a rock fall that occurs behind that building. >> now we are on russian hill. this is the most beautiful location of exposed bedrock. across the street from the art institute on chestnut. >> that and tires sitting -- that entire setting, that is a beautiful setting, the deck and the panorama of the city. >> cannot be it. now we are on at leavenworth street, around the corner of chestnut or francisco. >> these walls are common throughout the city, and they were built as part of the stimulus package following the

murphy then continued up the stairs and russian government official number 3 continued down the stairsorld thanks to the fbi, we have the real thing, real video of the real spies. there's russian government official number 3 in the baseball cap going down the stairs and the spy richard mir 9 dpil gan hat coming up, not very subtle like our version. and we re-enacted a scene where the spies buried marc it with a beer bottle and buried it and dug it up and two years later, one of the spies dug that up. here's our version of the story. today, the fbi released pictures of that hiding spot as well video of the real spy digging up the package. that's really it happening. i kind of like our version better. our over the top on purpose russian spy acting was not all that far off in

done for those that like to climb the stairs. >> reporter: and seven refurbished escalators had been delayed but started in january. the first of the three escalators were unveiled in july. the cost was just over $8 million. >> it's better for the traffic flow. that makes the most difference. you don't have to stand inline, and then come out and wait five minutes in the rain trying to get into the cold train, so it's worth it. >> reporter: new escalators have been installed at an existing station, but a spokesman says the new escalators here are not that different from those that have been refurbished. all of them have new parts, but the entire substructure under the escalators here at the foggy stop was replaced. >> it's part of the $150 million program, and it will take a few years but we are making progress. >> reporter: many hoped today's opening was part of a new era. one of the escalators buckled causing one woman to fall. four people were taken to the hospital after an escalator there failed to function. >> it's a very busy station and it has been needed for a long time, so i

. >> how is the width of the stairs, the fire escape? >> okay. we've got a question. how do we determine the width with of the fire escape stairs >> i think it's 18 inches >> ladders shall not be let's than 18 inches >> if someone was applying for a permit. we would like at the occupant load and how many people are going to have to use this, and the building code has a table for calculating. i think we would look at home people would using it. >> every fire escape balcony 18 inches. >> i wanted to talk to the about the stand pipe. >> tell us what we got here. >> this is a dry stamp pipe. typically, the fire engine would stop here and hook up here. so on any floor, whichever floor, we can have water. like i say, this is even better than going to the building. our guy does a good job and makes sure the balcony is stable. it's so much nicer to be outside. you yell at the guy. we need more water and pressure. in my eyes, it's a better system. this one here is dry. some of them are wet. >> what's the difference between wet and dry? >> wet would be connected to the water sy

i would be more concerned about this deck being used for people walking up and down the stairs. i heard something about a sliding door and a four-foot drop. that worries me as well. >> any more questions? president goh: is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, we will give you three minutes of rebuttal, mr. buscovich. >> i am property owner for the -- i am council for the property owner. my involvement in this case is relatively new, given the history of the dispute. this permit was told in the days shortly thereafter from reform retention. we did not have an opportunity to confer before this was told. we were not notified. there is a bigger principle that this order should be concerned about. the idea that someone can go into the department of building inspection and, over the counter, pay for a permit for someone else's property. it is contrary to code, policy, and there is a civil dispute that underlies this appeal. when not asking you to resolve it, to get involved in the settlement discussions. quite frankly, it is inappropriate for that to be in the other sid

always take it is stairs. when you go down the stairs hang on to the hand rails you will have people bump into you. pay attention to the floors, you have fourth floor, third floor, in case the lights go out you know you have 3 more floors. people think, i will go to the bottom until it stops. let's say you have 2 floors of parking you are under ground. sometimes it's a fire escape, never go up unless there is smoke down there and you can't go down. majority of the time don't go up. it's not like in tower interno where you go to the roof and the helicopters come pick you up u. notice fire department, work in pairs with 2 extinguishers. one extinguisher and the other person is a backup to get you out. that's an nert volunteer. never fight a fire if it's a large fire. large is over your head. if you are scared and it's too big, it's too large for you. if it's spread beyond where it started and blocking our escape route and you are unsure how to use an extinguisher. there are 4 types of fire it's on the label. on

according to officials a 14-year-old student stabbed another in the stomach in the stair well. >> they are kids. that's ridiculous! one, why do they have a knife in school? how did he make it through the school and how long did this kid have a knife in school? and how many other kids have nies and guns? it's -- and knives? it's sad. >> no word this morning on what led up to that attack. >> the boy's varsity soccer team is no longer in the playoffs because of a particular dance. delaney parents contacted perry hall's principal about the dance calling it vullger and lewd. these are similar dances imitating the main character from "weekend at bernies" that was dead. >> one, two, three, hey! >> that's what we got in trouble for. >> while according to coach pete eve they are in, the entire team was suspended for the last game against blake high school, parents and students are frustrated, because they say the punishment doesn't fit the crime. that brings us to our water cooler question of the day, do you think school officials overreacted by suspending the soccer team because of an on-field

brighty newman, you see where the wooden stairs is, her unit is at the back of that unit, the garden unit. this is the morning shot. you can see the reflections of the sunlight on the roofs on the other side of the block. the only sunlight that -- that comes in -- in the summer and spring of the year comes in the afternoon and midday and afternoon. and i don't believe that we're going to create any new obstruction at that point. there is a large building on 5th directly behind us which is known as the sweepstakes building. some of you may know of it was sweepstakes home in san francisco that is quite large. i'm going to go drop the overhead and go back to the camera, please. so i would suggest that we have a good plan as proposed with section 311. we are complying with the residential design guidelines. what we propose to do with this side setback at this point, i think, honors the interest of these properties as much as possible. it's clear that mr. hesler's property is going to be affected by anything that happens here. our existing building is projecting to this point. so this add
