submittals is fine. >> ok. -- whitson submittals is fine. -- written submittals is fine. >> ok. vice president goh: whether or not they were replaced, whether or not that is in the record. commissioner fung: it was in the contractor is a declaration. vice president goh: thanks. vice president goh: i have a question about the 19th. we have other items to be heard, as well. how many? 6, 7, 8? >> yes, there will be election of officers. commissioner garcia: that usually takes five minutes. >> oh this is to continue it until january 19 with some briefing and some exhibits allowed. i think we should specify how many pages you are interested in seeing and exactly what topics you want to see it on, and my recommendation is that both parties to submit the thursday prior, as opposed to having rebuttal. commissioner fung: commissioners, since i personally feel that all information has already been submitted, i would like the briefing to be 3 pages. vice president goh: i was going to suggest one page with unlimited exhibi

>> yeah. >> in your submittal your architect will do a calculation. space layout, we need to see all the disabled access features. this is the most difficult and expensive part o expensives parts of your plan. we do that by seeing it on the plan and confirming it's built right. we don't need to see plumbing or electric or some mechanical the general plan where the hoods and ducts go and penetrations through fire walls. we need to see detailed energy code plans. the energy code makes building in california more expensive. this is a restrictive code. tells you what kind of windows and lights you put in how you ventilate it. and the cost gets tighter every year. it's part of the green building movement. and this is a good time to mention and may be others want to mention, green building and the allied slow food. the green building movement has a big impact. we see a lot of restaurants where we are recycling everything food waste and other stuff and that should be built into the planning process and not an add-on. it's required for residential constructio

they can actually do the permit submittals there.i think they send them to stevenson street and have an inspector and measure the sidewalk width and do a report. >> you don't have to have a phone number. >> it's 554-5810. 875 stevenson street on the fourth floor. >> yes. they have a person there who will assist you. either one stevenson is where they actually do the processing of the thing. yeah. i put a little list here yesterday of things that are complicating factors in opening restaurants or remodeling restaurants. i thought i'd mention. we got more questions in the back. yeah, sure, go ahead. >> [inaudible]. >> people from public works are saying you should go to stevenson street to get table and chair permits. you have the forms, do you not, at 1616 mission the application forms. >> no, we don't. >> you don't. okay i'm corrected. >> thank you. >> okay. things that complicate. i just through this in for our own amusement everything is expensive twice as expensive as you think it will be that's true for restaurant remodels. it's

. >> thank you. bédj >> the matter is submitte. >> it appears that neither party is against the constructiont might be the location and maybe the trees. from a technical point of view, there is greater safety in aligning the foundation and the wall that will be constructed with the major structure of the building. in these kind of instances, there is always the potential for settlement. >> if we were to uphold this in every way, we add to that placement and that would be put in at the discretion of the department of urban forestry. >> i tend to -- i would like to save the tree but i take comfort that this does not have any impact on wildlife habitat or is a native species at issue. there is also an impact about the removal of the trees. it seems that this neighborhood has survived these issues before and i know that these are near delores park so i would be inclined to uphold the department. >> i would like to see an alternative expiration to save the tree. is there a motion? >> the action that commissioner garcia was proposing, does require modifying the order and you would be allowing and

that's the sort of stuff your architect will prepare when you do a submittal. you will do 2 copies and the question you were about to ask is how long it takes us to review the plans? the building department as instituted over the counter plan review for something as simple as a cafe we can probably do it over the counter now. for a larger restaurant it would be a week until we assign it to a plan checker and get it done within a couple of weeks. what happens when we start to review a plan is we develop a list of comments and questions and give them back to you and the monkey is on your back. it takes as long as it takes until you get it back to us. we will look at this and at this point you call to make an appointment we sit down and do it we don't just put it in a pile. we are working hard to cycle through permits especially small business permits where time is of the essence and sensitivity to time is extreme. if you are thinking about getting a permit come to the building department at 1616 mission and ask general questions. walk around and talk to people, g

i will then return -- four submittal at that time. i will then return in june. chairperson chu: the mind if we take a two minute break? it has been a long meeting. >> not at all. chairperson chu: thank you. chairperson chu: we are back to the regular meeting of the budget and finance committee. we are good to pick up on item five. our clark is making a presentation. >> thank you. i will just continue. in preparation of the budget, the budget and finance committee will hold 2 you "public hearings to review the draft guidelines of the -- will hold two public hearings to review the draft guidelines of the budget. i will ask for your approval to submit the proposed budget to the controller and mayor on february 22. i will return in june to review any changes that need to be made, with the benefit of the budget analysts review and report. -- budget analyst's review and report. i am sure the mayor's budget director, greg wagner, will make a thorough presentation in the near future. to the next slide, to our current purpose. this hearing is to divide -- is to define gu

we have two years from the effective date to design a simple -- submittal. it will include the proposed realignment that you have all seen. remember that slider earlier, the west side alignment? in the aero across to link and eliminate the second crossing the so-called fly-over? we submit that proposal as well to underwrite costs of that so little. on the very front end, we look at the terms of development and to the developer must participate. finally, in the event that the project was proceeding in the original realignment is moving forward, we also found projections. we asked the developer to first construction elements that would benefit tier five and the proposal. we deferred construction of those tale ends. and the yellow crossover of you have seen that comes across nineteenth. we have the ability to request the developer to defer building notes, and bank the money in the event that we find the money through the state and federal regional government to build a more extensive tier 5 alignment. we do the best to preserve as many options as we can to leve

. -- the submittal. i don't appreciate the name calling of our planner. it was inappropriate and wrong. there are some things that are outrageous accusations. it is never the right approach to go. you may not like what the staff is saying, but is never appropriate to make acquisitions -- accusations the are quitedamnig. -- quite damning. in deference to their agreement that was made, they will make the modification. my motion is to accept the modification that the project sponsor agreed to. in to approve the project otherwise. >> second. commissioner antonini: it has been a long process and it was interesting to see the earlier purgation. i would have been fine with a few units workings. the project sponsor has been encouraged to build a higher building and build more density and smaller units. that is what the project is. we can't go back to where we were before. i would like to see a couple of design things. if we can somehow cover up that stairwell. i know you have to have it, but the building would look nicer if you didn't look into an open stairwell

president garcia: i guess the appellant is raising the issue that, why would they have to make a special submittal for that when on the plans -- why cannot he extend those figures? >> that is something the planner deemed necessary in order to have a complete application, and we do want as thorough and complete plans as possible. vice president garcia: i understand that you want the square footage, but why cannot the department multiplied -- multiply the length by the width of >> because we want to document that they know it. -- multiplied -- multiply the links by the wetproof it was filed about one year -- the length by the wit -- with -- width? >> because we wanted to document that they know it. i cannot speak to all the conversations had between the parties, but we had communicated what the requirements were. president goh: plus, in looks like there were emails. -- it looks but there were emails between the department and the project proponent, indicating that there was more time and more time and more time given for the production of the plans, in whatever way the planning department asked for

do you want to allow any reply brief by the parties, or do you want just the said middle from -- submittal from dpw? commissioner hwang: brief reply briefs. >> your brief would be due two thursdays prior. would that still give you enough time? commissioner hwang: we can move to march 23 if that -- how about march 23? >> we can move it to march 23. your brief would be due to thursday's prior. -- two thursdays prior. do you want to say three pages per brief with unlimited exhibits? ok. call the roll, please. >> the motion is from commissioner hwang to continue this matter to march 23. the hearing is held and closed. this allows dpw to submit additional information. additional briefing is allowed at three pages per party. dpw is due two thursday's prior. commissioner fung: aye. president goh: aye. vice president garcia: aye. commissioner peterson: aye. >> the vote is 5-0. >> item 8 has been withdrawn. we can move on to item nine. >> item 9, appeal and 10-123, mario and teresa martinez, appealing the imposition of penalty on october 26, 2010, for construction work done without a permit. >> my

the remaining 10% has to be part of next year's budget submittal. additionally they want another 7% contingency identification, which is for the entered in the budget but -- but they're developing a list of contingency cuts. so what that means to the manning department is that -- a 10% reduction of our current year general fund is $143,000. the ongoing is 100,000 and the 2.5% required is did $5 thourges. -- $35,000. that's a quick and dirty overview of the current year budget. and next year again, the schedule that we're proposing for the mapping commission through you of the 11-12 budget. questions about the planned schedule or budget? >> director? >> i wanted to first thank tom and nadia who is in the audience and is our finance officer who has been with the department only a few months and unfortunately, nadia is also preparing to leave us as of tomorrow. so, i'm both intoufing her to you and bidding her farewell at the same time. just a note on the budget. i think -- i think a couple of notes of interest for you i think. one, just the citywide b
