previously it was 405 spaces at that site plus the ones in the sutter street building which is part of that here. they need to reduce that more. david chiu the other night said it would allow to be reduced. in the c s f n, we used to say if you were building garages it was a good thing to build garages. if you build them, it will come. all of the traffic will increase, actually the garages in the van ness area are under parked. this is the same kind of thing that knob hill neighbors did years ago that we didn't need a lot of additional parking. if you put it there more people would be encouraged to drive there. there is a concern that i have, david chiu said they were planning to fund c bd for lower polk area. that means you are funding bar owners as far as i can see. it was also checked by robert garcia when a cbd was proposed and rejected that it's a pass through for rental tents whatever fee they charge themselves. there are actual no resident members although they are bar oranges. it has no residents at all. they are the ones who have wrecked the area. at the hearings on the polk i

>> on the sutter what are they missing? the outside getting rid of people? >> yeah, they have the area in front. to the left there is scaffolding and creating challenges. i talked to the city regarding that and if they have a valid permit. they also have a parking lot across the street and we're doing with that and a hot dog vendor and illegal hot dog vendor and nice to sober up but it creates a nuisance and the drunks come out and linger with the hot dog and that exposure with drunks and being loud can either create problems or fights in the area, so we're trying to hit it take cake of a lot of problems as well as the security. we talked about them not blocking the sidewalk. with a small sidewalk we have the issues of the patrons lining up to go into the club but we have the smokers and so we have to keep in mind both situations so talked about different ways and smokers up the street without going so far -- four to five deep so people that want to get through don't have to go into the street to get by. >> so the hot dog vendzors -- i mean we all have them.

that includes the 1375 sutter building. was that always part of the deal here? >> okay. commissioner moore. >> questions which you might not be able to answer today but might have ready for the next presentation. in the previous discussions that it included garcia's conclusion, have we acknowledged the emergency response. >> i would have to remind you that we still have at saint luke's the same size emergency room that we did before. the actual provision and i don't believe, i will double check with cpm c, i don't know if the one at cathedral hill is getting smaller or not. but the emergency access. >> in case of earthquake, the emergency response. >> i will get back to you on that. >> i was going to move to initiate. >> second. >> commissioner sugaya? >> yes. i should have said it when i had the mic before. i think i'm also in support of some kind of citizen participation and collateral agreement and c a c whatever the manifestation is around the whole development agreement and it's provision. so. >> that was a motion to initiate both sites. on that motion, commissioner

hospital approval and stanford and what they gave to san mateo county and it was a lot less than sutter to san francisco on this project. those are things that have to be worked out politically. i do have some specific questions for mr. rich first of all. the 75 percent utilization rate for saint luke's before cal pacific can increase their van ness hospital by 30 more beds. isn't that arbitrary? it depends on how many people are ill. >> let me give you that background. one that was not on the current agreement, a 20-year guarantee to keep saint luke's open. that was replaced to the better satisfaction of everyone. not only did saint luke's get bigger but cathedral hill got smaller. it is the fact that now saint luke's is 25 percent of the total beds in the system that gives everyone the confidence that it's not something that cpm c would be able to close. it's too big a part of the system. that is a very difficult situation to negotiate around and we had negotiated those respective sizes, 274 beds which results to staying to the same number of beds. cpm c came back and said we want to

they had the little baby in the one hospital, sutter.hey didn't like the way the nurse treated him. she gave him the wrong drugs. they didn't like the fact that the doctor who was treating him wanted to rush him to surgery and wanted a second opinion. so against medical advice they take him out, and where did they take him? to another hospital. how did that turn into anything that resembled alleged child neglect? >> it's no not like they went he and sat around. it's the ultimate question. they winter to another hospital because they weren't happy with the first doctor. they did what every parent should. before anybody operates on my son or daughter and does heart surgery, i'm going to get an opinion from someone else, especially someone i don't have an antagonistic relationship with. >> is it true the court ruled on monday these parents must follow all medical advice from now on? >> all reasonable medical advice. they certainly have input, and we have the opportunity to discuss it and evaluate it and make our own informed opinions. >> me

there's a difficult situation over there on sutter street >> moniker to address that? >> i'd like to a take into account the credit cards charging 5 percent. also the california trains thing is right i've been down there are i don't know what kind of authority you'd have but the members can take a look at 0 those things. okay. the director is not going to be giving a report >> last item on the agenda seeing none. >> very quickly. i'm going to a higher authority. >> director reiskin i would appreciate a report on the muni delays. i know that some of them were caused by the wind and interesting circumstances but it certainly seems to me that the delays before the van system where the trains are coming in there's been significant details p delays. i don't know if it's something to be with the switch or something else. i asked a year and a half agree as far as i, tell the sander hose is for more a problem but i'd like to know and i know that supervisor weaning would like to know >> anyone else on new or unfinished business? >> we're going to talk about the california train

myers worked at sutter street in 1951 1 the house was built. he fulfilled many positions including san francisco planning commissioner in the 1940s. they were experienced builders and also developed homes in the 20s. milton was known for developing the sea cliff neighborhood. the myers also gave warn steven his house during the war. milton myers and company still owned the international hotel in san francisco manila town when it took over this place. this was a perfect design for this left over site for it's panoramic view because it was the last to be developed. the site rises from the street. there is nothing in fronted of it other than the pacific ocean and the view. it was also a great design it's discretion to the response to all the neighbors and sitting to an already established neighborhood. it was a daring and # moderate design. the living level is so much higher than the street. this house is above the street at a circular bend and looks at it's neighbors down the row. beyond the end of the continent and back into an interior court. t

house man i'd like to talk about the no left turn on powell it used to be you could turn left at as sutter now it's no left turn whatsoever as i as a cab driver if i pickup at ellis and powell i either have to take my passengers 12 blocks to sacramento which is the first legal left or i have to go right right right and right and therefore please consider having that instead of no left turn period please consider putting no left turn except taxis and buses. you are costing tourists a lot of money and need less air pollution thank you. >> that was raised last time. >> then you have responded? so okay. next speaker please. >> k u.n. takas and john lazar good afternoon. good afternoon sir and thank you -- for letting us express ourselves i just want to add the same thing i'm supporting my colleague here i'm a cab driver with yellow and actually a left turn for taxis should be allowed since it is you know we don't need to make people run away from taxis anymore. >> thank you, sir. next speaker please. >> mr. kantakas followed by john lazar and -- >> hi ladies and gentlemen. nice to be here. i h

i'll say something real quick i got a response about the intersection of powell and sutter they need to keep the no left turn because of the cable cars coming down the hill but after they stop running we ought to be able to make a left turn there it's ridiculous it's not fair to the passenger it's not fair to the cab drivers and back to the other issue everybody is talking about you are allowing these illegal rogue gypsy cabs to operate just because they have an app and that's not right and you should be putting a stop to the use of this app i know you can stop the application from operating if you had the will and considering that you are asking hundreds of thousands of dollars of people to buy medallions and you are making us follow all these rules everything you know fees you tell us what we can charge on the meter why should we follow all these rules when we can get a pink mustache or black town car and ignore all these rules? speaking of town cars they are not operating on a prearranged basis. uber's website says they don't take advantage advance notice anymore. these guys are b

now sutter gold mining company is at it again.hey believe they're still plenty of gold left in the ground in the sierra foothills and that is setting off a whole new group of 49ers. >> we simply jumped into the creeks with pans and buckets and we were scooping it up by the handful. >> the company believe there's more than 600,000 ounces of gold in the hills and at today's prices, that's about $900 million. it plans to start work at the lincoln mine in just a few months, and i'm out of here. i'm going. >> you're going. get your pan. get in the creek and get going. >> yes. absolutely. >>> giants are on the road. a's home. they played last night and today. let's see. headed out to the ballpark, rosemary, how are we looking for the a's fans? >> a great day for a ball game. or maybe you have a little leaguer on his way out the door. a little cool this morning. by the afternoon you'll need sunblock and extra water, because it's going to be warmer than on friday. temperatures will be above average once again under dry conditions. giving

>> i'm not going to dispute the sutter health but being in the health care field and through the advent of dental insurance, but being covered in a significant part of it is over a part of the utilization fact. i think the percentage of utilization in dentistry is the same as it was in the beginning of dental insurance in the 70s. a lot of people don't a veil themselves for the benefits other than the cost. i hope people will take advantage of preventative care and reach other health care professionals early in their treatment so they can be treated for outpatient so we won't need the number of beds. so i'm not argue ing with that. we have seen large population and particularly job growth in the bay area with particular evidence on san francisco bay. i think we are going to see more people in the bay area and in future years and even if areas where people think they are being set to san francisco presumably for the care they may need if they have a special condition. i'm not saying you won't in the future need more beds, but i want to make sure we have not precluded the ability to expan

the last thing of note is i met with the seller at 685 sutter street during the week and went over the safety and security concerns and talked about what they specifically needed to improve so it's kind of a thing in progress, so right now we have dialogue with them, and i think

. >> so, at the end of the day when a rate payer comes up to you on the corner of goth and sutter and says, ms. labonte, why are we spending all this money on this project, what does it do for us? >> well, the additional funding here will allow us -- >> i know what the additional funding -- the calaveras dam, why do we need to worry about that? >> there's a reason for each project. in the case of calaveras dam, it is a key component of our overall water supply stratejai. without it, you lose incredible flexibility into the overall operation of the system. and you would become especially vulnerable during drought conditions. >> good answer. question. >> what happened with hetch hetchy -- >> it's a buffer, it definitely provides -- yes. so, there's -- and the dam currently -- >> that's even a better answer. >> the dam has been found to be seismically vulnerable so we cannot operate it at full capacity right now. >> okay. i just think it's important people may be or may not be watching on television, to make sure we help them understand why this expenditure is so necessary. >> and bear w
