i represented the tennants of this building a long time ago. they were concerned that they were going to be pushed out by the "live work units" that were built there as well as the upper income housing next door to them. i also represented the tennis club users, not the owners when they fought against their building being demolished. times have come to pass and my -- silk screen shop has gone. you had the railroad present to you last week with the grand plan for the rail yard site which is a half block from here. you have also had presentations on the central corridor study. there was staff when loma prieta happened and there were deaths down at bluxome a block away. people, this is not solid ground. it's marsh. i want to talk about the jobs and the housing and the affordable housing program. you have on page three of your report with the transit impact development fee and all of which is instrumental in getting passed in this big struggle in the early 80s. they are getting credit for demolishing tdr. there is no way about this. look at this. o

use tennant avenue to get around it. an overturned big rig causing major problems this morning in tracy. these are huge delays right now on 205. the accident is approaching grant line. they were able to re-open another lane so now two lanes are open but the backups extend all the way to i-5. go around it at southbound i-5 westbound 132 to connect with westbound 580. bay bridge toll plaza meet met were just turned on within the last 5 minutes. we have high wind advisories in effect for the bay bridge, san mateo bridge, antioch bridge and the dumbarton bridge. once again, some slowdowns through the livermore valley to the dublin interchange. the roads are still very slick. gets get the latest on the forecast. here's lawrence. >>> we're not done with the rain just yet, elizabeth. of course the heaviest amounts of rainfall have moved on by. some of the mountains over 2." boulder creek about 3.5" of rain. out the door we are seeing pockets of scattered showers as storm number one heads east. hi-def doppler radar picking up on

still have the closures southbound 101 at tennant. let's go to steve. >>> sal, cuddling is a big stress reliever. >> it is. >> as long as wine is not involved, we're okay. we have some breaks in the clouds. pacifica, it's pouring. also a lot -- no. sun is out now. okay. for those of you who have been doing your rain dance, outstanding job. you may want to stop dancing. tomorrow's system looks impressive to me. we're still getting some rain. it looks like pouring up in the oakland hills. 580 off keller avenue. some of the rain totals coming in. terra linda 2.30. sausalito, 1.50. mountain view, .85 san jose and clayton picked up .70. some of the heavier totals where you would expect those to be, forestville, that's about three hours old. i'm sure they've had more than that. lexing on reservoir, over 2. san rafael probably 2. pretty decent system. the big news for san francisco, this was a couple of hours ago they are probably up to .95 or .96. but .92 that's the official station. for the month, february. 4.66. that's 104% of normal. the

it's approaching tennant avenue about 4,000 gallons of fuel spilled in the road.sly on its side so that's what's taking so long to clean up. you can get around this by using the detour in place. they are letting cars off the freeway and northbound 101 is moving okay at this hour. right now all lanes are open into san jose in the commute direction. big delays in tracy. westbound 205 approaching grant line. traffic is stacked up now beyond i-5. so to get around this, use southbound i-5 over to westbound 132 to westbound 580. looks like they just reopened another lane so that's some good news for this commute. it looks like at least they are trying to get it clear. once you get into the altamont pass in the livermore valley, though, things actually look still pretty good maybe a little sluggish approaching vasco but for the most part that drive time is still holding steady because all the backups are just east of there. mass transit a great idea, bart, muni, caltrain and ace on time. that is your latest "kcbs traffic." here's lawrence. >>> that was a good storm syste

i think i would be good for this position i do have experience inwith the sro tennants.lso i was on the campaigns for the grab bars to be installed in all the hotels and in the campaigndisabled everal times. i believe i would be the right person for this position. thank you. >>super thank you. any questions? thank you very much. nati next applicant is charles pitts. >> thank you, feel free to ask me any questions. i have been on this for five or six and goal was to be able to understand e and be speak out regarding issues of homelessness and that led into sro's. for me i believe i'm connected with several people/agencies. i know people in the department and with people mental health association and i'm with the homeless board and the committee. i think that's part of a start. i have an undthings. i have the sro task force meetings off and on for the past 2-3 years. so, i know them, they know me. i have been very vocal about ideas and philosophy about how we can make sro's better. i do want to show you some of the pictures that when i was standing with sro's. i feel we ha

they had a very at all tree that was angled at 45 degrees right from my tennants bedroom window. i contacted the owners. it ended up having to assign a building inspector to come out. they have had an eviction. peter isis was vibtd -- evicted from this property. i ended up having to call police and get squatters removed from inside the area. they were living inside the building. i'm against this because they have not been cooperative. >> thank you for your comments. >vice-president cindy wu: is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner antonini? >>commissioner michael j. antonini: i think this is a very good project. a couple reasons why i like it. the specific reference to minimal glazing is really refreshing after every building we approve is all windows. it helps it to blend in with the neighborhood if it's more historic even though it has a more contemporary design with more glazing when the building an appears to fit in with the building because of that fact. also the fact that it's providing 4, three bedroom units. decent am

that happened early in the morning on the southbound tide of tennant avenue. that's where we find christie smith. >> reporter: we, officials have been out here all morning because of some of the gasoline spilled. we finally have two of the three lanes open. what they're delling us is the third lane will stay closed for quite some time because they're dealing with all of that gas that leaked out. you can still smell it out here this morning. they have to do remediation and remove it after a tanger carrying 8500 gallons of gasoline turned over. for a time it shut down all southbound lane. first we heard that 4000 galloned filled and now we're hearing it's closer to 1700. a 23-year-old man was traveling too fast and lost control. it ran into a gas tanker that lost control and rolled off of the shoulder. 1700 galloned spilled. some of it went into the dirt and some went to the a storm drain. >> we're looking for sheen, impacts to wildlife. if there is any endangers wildli -- endangered wi endangered wildlife we want to take care of it. >> have you seen any? >> no.

if you were to get behind that and behind the chief so that the tennants can form building safety committees without fear of retaliation from unscrupulous landlords, it would be extremely helpful. people want to be safe including those who are in the criminal element. i have said before, when the criminal element start to feel unsafe, the rest of us don't stand a chance. they need to know the crime, because they have crimes perpetrated against them. what they can do to get that crime reported. because a lot of these people don't live in the best shelters, they don't live in door ways. they live in so-called supportive housing, public housing. they need to know, we need to know what can be done. so if there is someway that the commission can come up with something to help us out that would be really really wonderful if you can agendaized, i don't like the word hearing. but agendaized and open sort of thing so people from the public can come and share with you what sorts of things we like to see happen. that would be very very helpful and would help make san francisco even more responsive and

no tennants will be displaced as a result of this project. finally this project is in scale but surrounding neighborhood and meets our guidelines and it will be a passive house in san francisco with a net zero energy residential building. this concludes my presentation and i'm available for questions if needed. >vice-president cindy wu: thank you. project sponsor. >> good evening president wu and commissioners. i'm david silver man and working on this project. before you due to the mandatory dr's as pointed out for proposed demolition of residential unit. how far no neighbor has requested a dr. the existing building was an appraised the value of $1.5 million which is in excess of the valuation of $1.3 million as the upper limit of the affordable house. the residential demolition is based p on the affordability factor. residents in this price range therefore are not considered affordable housing. in addition the project satisfies a super majority and it will provide attractive new family housing with four bedrooms in a poorly designed structur

i still take care of my tennants. thank you for your time. >> my name is elisa. i live on hill street across from 1050 valencia. our single most important goal over the past 5 years is to get this development to respect the community. this very small project situated primarily on hill street has attracted a great deal of attention quite out of proportion to its size. there have been many voices to added opinions and applied pressure to this board. both the historic preservation commission and planning commission voiced the need to scale down this building. the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods, a citywide eight neighborhood organizations joins us tonight to urge the commissioners to keep this building at four floors. this historic part of the mission is special and we want to preserve it. this building diminishes neighborhood character. it is incompatible with the historic architecture and now will add more unaffordable condos to a community that is already reeling from this type of development. over 800 condos are being built within 3 blocks of this site.

. >> secretary tennant, in your opening statement you raise these frustrations, a number of frustrations in the aftermath of this bill about lack of clear guidance, lack of consistent trustworthy information. on january 24th papa group of 24 western genius scientists sent a letter to epa and cdc voicing very similar concerns and saying among other things, quote, if the government had been more forthcoming about what is not known about the leak chemicals, citizens and local officials would have been able to make better choices about the actions needed to protect their families and communities. do you share those concerns? how would you like to rectify that uncertainty and lack of trust? >> i share those concerns and that is why i have taken action on many different levels, taken action in directly writing to the cdc and asking and saying tell us what you know so west virginians will know, at what level you think that is safe for the water and how did you get to that level? be open and forthright with the citizens. as i said i have sent a letter and now have petitioned with western virgini

tennant? >> i would echo that and what i think is so important. for the citizens of not just west virginia but across the country that these guidelines be made public whether it's what the chemical is, with the emergency plan that has put in place for the storage tanks and these companies that hold the storage tanks to be made on the transparent database that is easily accessible to the public. i would also mention in particular for west virginia as we tackle this crisis how do we make sure that it doesn't happen again? for us i want to emphasize once again the proposal to have long-term study that we might able to put in place that we need to start today, the long-term study for the health care and the health of the people of west virginia self-confidence starts today and we have an understanding of what might happen over that 10 year. that. >> thank you for that. mr. mcnulty? >> i think secretary huffman's comments i think senator manchin has crafted a good common sense of roach to solve these problems. >> mr. chairman i want to reinforce a coup
