i'm greatly impacted by the design for 309 eureka street. i do want to note that i'm appreciated of their approach. i am requesting that you reduce its height and overall size. at the may 19, 2011, planning commission meeting, the commission continued the 309 eureka hearing and recommended that the project sponsor work with the d.r. requesters to revise the project. the commission suggested that they examine ways to minimize impact on the ford's property and to make the building more consistent and appropriate for the surrounding neighborhood by considering the roofline and the treatment of the bay window. we ask that the building be brought down 4 1/2 feet to grade. i am in support of these goals and i am especially concerned about lowering the height and reducing the impact on the fords property and my property, both of which will be shadowed by this new building. i have seen the sponsor's july 14, 2011 design and it does not address the commission's may 19 comments. the height has only been reduced a foot. the rare -- rear massing has been

commissioner miguel: yes, i have met with people regarding the eureka street project and also the veterans affairs medical center in out on clement street. i would like to commend the department again, the better streets plan, which continues to gain recognition. it was just awarded the california apa 2011 best practices awards, and it will be presented during the california awards ceremony in santa barbara this september. with that, perhaps we will go national with it. as commissioner antonini mentioned, the information on the downtown plans, 25 years of work, was excellent. john keane did a very good article on it. i did appreciate the information on the van ness plan, although different commissioners will interpret things differently. president olague: and i guess, usually as a little small gesture, will sometimes close the meeting in memory of someone who greatly contributed to the city. we're going to be closing the meeting today in memory of the executive director of the eviction defense network, miguel. it is quite a loss. he was a giant as far as advocating on behalf of low- income
