this only created one substandard lot. it was quite substandard at 1,756 square feet. the building at the front and rear were built in approximately 1906. there is a very distinct pattern of the small lots at the rear of these. the board has seen another case on wilmont that was similar to this. the property at 690 yark, only one substandard lot was created. that was more than 2,000 feet from the property. it was an odd-shaped lot, exceptional wide at 50 feet and had an add angular shape to it. for those ronings and for the five findings that were not met, we respectfully request the board upheld the administrator's denial of the requested variance. thank you. >> commissioner peterson: could you put that vote back up? could you point out again the buildings on the lot? >> this is the building which fronts on pennsylvania, and this is further down 19th at 1120 19th. this is the building that was constructed post 1975 variance. commissioner peterson: and recently, a couple of years ago, the fourth floor was added? >> that's right. in 2007-2008, there was a request for a

this would establish a substandard lot condition. currently they can maintain this as it is. they would also be granted a right that others don't have been in the area of. finally, the appellant has made a request to some of the arguments about previous or other decisions. the first is not a precedent- setting. each is unique and each has a set of circumstances. in the cases that were represented by the project sponsor, this is about 9-10 blocks away. this was about 37.6 feet by 100 feet. this was not the standard size. the property on webster -- >> on that one that you just

in san francisco overwÑ >> in particular, the problems that this board is seeing, where such a substandardsize is being created, not necessarily that it can't be addressed, the potential for problems is too great. if i went to the more technical review of the five criteria, i find that it would only conform to two of them, so i won't support overturning it at this point. i would move to uphold the zoning administrative decisions. >> on that motion. >> aye. [roll call vote] >> the motion carries, 3-2. shall we call the next item? calling item number nine, regarding the property at -- the department approval. ma'am? >> excuse me. >> how dare you? all of you? >> item #9, protesting the issuance on july 9, 2010. permit to alter a building. commissioners, we will start with the appellant. >> can we wait until commissioner fung returns? >> ok. we're ready for you. go ahead. >> good evening, commissioners. i am here on behalf of my clients who is sitting to my right along with their daughter. at this time, i like to have him speak first. he is in a second language, so his daughter should be able

the court is looking into substandard living conditions in an apartment building he owns in that state and he spoke to the council on foreign relations this week, introduced as a man dedicated to building bridges between the muslim and non-muslim world. considering this ground zero controversy and the slumlord tab that's been applied to him, how is this all of this reported in the media? well, it was finally reported with the skepticism it deserves. yes, he is a man that spent most of us life reaching out to people of other faiths and his own record, what he said, what he's done, his appearance at danny pearl's memorial the wall street journal reporter. all of that admirable. come on, this is building bridges, a bridge too far and finally reported the head of the community board, number one, who approved the mosque, voted for it, said look, let's compromise here, can't we have an interfaith center? the ground swell against this has forced even advocates of the plan to step back and say, is this really what we need at that spot. >> jon: the media research center, jim, released a center,

when i drive on those and other areas in the city, i feel that the maintenance has been kind of substandard. i do notice that in some of those areas, there have been very nice new trees planted, but three, four, five, six months later, there has been an obvious growth of weeds, especially on portola drive, which is interesting because it is it in a fairly affluent neighborhood. anyway, i think it is noteworthy that san francisco conservation corps do this kind of work because it is not only giving them a chance to show what they can do but also would help park and rec eliminate trees before the city as more possible payouts for maps of injury, since according to what i have seen in those areas, those trees are fairly big, and it would not take very much of a tree to fall in order to hurt someone. supervisor chu: thank you. are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i do appreciate the member of the public who did speak on the issue of public safety and about safety in many of our facilities. with past issues, the city was

patients there were found to be living in shoddy housing and receiving substandard care.ince then, the army has done a thorough redesign of its health care system. soldiers in the fort hood unit, for example, are assigned a team of nurse case managers, primary care providers and commanding officers dedicated to providing coordinated care to those who need at least six months of medical help. not every soldier in this unit was wounded in battle. they all have access to specialists and occupational therapy, here wearing the heavy body armor while working out to rebuild strength. sergeant first class karl pasco, has two purple hearts, awarded for combat wounds received during two tours of duty in iraq. he spent time recuperating at walter reed, and says the new ansitiononrigades s e a major improvement. >> the first time i was wounded, i didn't have a nurse case manager. so in some ways, it was stressful because i not only had to manage my treatment, my appointments and all that. >> suarez: and its better now? >> oh, it's a lot better now. >> suarez: soldiers are assigned to

regardless of those standards or substandards when it comes to workers or environmental safety. yet not allow our own resource development to domestic supplies here in america. they think that america's future should be dictated from the top down, not the bottom up. they think that there just is nothing exceptional about the american people. they have faith in big government. we have faith in the people. we believe what ronald reagan believed, that government is not the solution. too often government is the problem. we believe -- we believe, as ronald reagan believed, that government must work with us, not over us. it must stand by our side, not right on our back. and we believe the world is a safer place when we stand up to our enemies and our allies. these days, the president's approach to foreign policy seems to be, as one european official put it, enemy-centric. the president writes friendly letters to rone's leaders, and yet picks a fight over housing policy with israel, our strongest ally over there? he reset violations with russia, but cancelled missile defense plans with

from the text their perspective, the cannot afford substandard care or no care. certainly our seniors and disadvantaged deserve better. we have more reasons to work together. we have our core mission and then know that for many of you, that is not necessarily your mission. you presumably have other responsibilities and duties as well. it is important that you have come out and shared this day and we have been able to continue to figure out how we can get what we need done as best we can so that the great majority of health care suppliers can actually do the important work on behalf of the nation's pinfish year is that they do every day. i really cannot add too much in terms of the substance at least for today's session. what i do want to try to capture as a final note is how we try to capture what this is all about. we do this through an acronym that we name epcor. this is an easy acronym for me and i love it. let me give you a brief explanation of what this means. none of this should come as a surprise. e stands for enrollment standards. it is too relaxed. we ne
