this is an image of the mission street faÇades. e are going to be stripping off the existing nonhistoric building elements and bringing back the look. and obviously the building on the right is the brick building and the six-story building is a concrete building. this is an image of what it will look like when it is done, there is extensive rehabilitation to this -- that meets the standards a lot of new paint, new windows, and new storefront. seismic retrofits that were done to both of these buildings is set back off the street so it is not impacting the exterior. the existing floor plans of the basement are converging the tenant storage to office and -- the proposed basement plan for office where we are digging out the basement to increase the vertical height. off to the right is a bicycle storage that is being added and showers. this is existing street-level plan which is a mix of office and retail, and the lobbies are being consolidated. >> thank you, very much. we may have questions, thank you >> sorry. >> okay. do we have any p

the creation of a new window opening at the fair oaks street facade. on december 19, 2018, the committee reviewed the project. a.r.c. concurred with determination that the proposely project appears to be compatible with the continuity and material texture and details and within the district. staff finds that the proposed work will be in conform enemy wit-- --although the existing an proposed to be removed, it's more than a century old. the design does not have notable architectural features as a whole. the proposed addition is compatible with other rear additions seen from quane alley. the new addition flat roof and windows painted wood siding and reference historic materials and details found at the subject property and throughout the district. the existing garage dates outside the period of significance and the garage is not prior to historical 6 significance. staff finds the proposed new new opening at the fair oaks street facade will be small amount wood siding but that siding has been altered to the previous installation of utility pipe and meters.

the facade doesn't change except for the new stucco and the new windows. some of the neighbors thought it had been deconstructed and removed, but it hadn't been. the garage doors are actually still intact in the building. >> commissioner tanner: and what was your observations with regards to safety. i know part of our concern was with the excavation work that had been done, especially during the rainy season. it seems like nothing's been done so far, what would be your opinion of the progress or lamb t there of at the site? >> it's been vacant for a couple of years. i wouldn't say it was top quality, but it met the requirements of the board. i explained that yesterday at the site meeting that if this permit is upheld, before any work takes place, d.b.i. are going to go out there and make sure, what did we see, what did we not see? in answer to your question, the building at the minute looks safe. and i -- mr. kleinman's not getting any visible damage to his property, which is telling. if he sees any cracking, movement, i believe we're going to have monitor

of the cathedral. —— the last judgement —— the lastjudgement right on the facade of the cathedral.ation have maintained the cathedral's main features, some of which date back to the 12th century, maintaining the building is an ongoing challenge. pollution, acid rain and age are now eating up not only its fine details but also this building's actual structure, and it's particularly striking when you go behind the scenes here. up high at the back of the cathedral, a place that tourists don't usually get to see. notre dame looks so imposing from the street, towering down, this huge structure, but when you get up close, it's amazing to see how much the old girl kind of needs a helping hand. help is what michel is trying to provide. his charity, friends of notre dame, has launched an appeal that helps private donors to help pay for some of the most urgently needed repairs. you can see here we have parts that were at risk of falling, so we removed them and have stored them here. if we don't want the cathedral to collapse, we need to rapair, all these and all these pinnacles need to be re

commissioner hillis. >> commissioner hillis: can you show us the front faÇade. didn't get to finish. i am not necessarily asking you to go through the whole presentation. >> show you what the building looked like? >> you didn't get to that. that is the crux of the issue here. can you just talk a little bit about what concessions you or what you might have done to prefer the concerns to the neighbor to the east? speak into the microphone. >> you can't hear me? >> the house that i started to describe, the existing house had a 13-foot garage level and 9-foot living level. this is an illustration i was going to show of the existing house. it is a little bit what we did was we lowered the bottom floor down to 8' 5". we lowered the bedrooms to 9' 7". we put that space on top. they wanted a big living room. this is the trade-off. the result is that the new house at 35066 is 7 -- 3506 is 10 inches higher than the peak of the existing house. it looks like it is designed to look uplifting. it is only 7-foot 10s" taller than the existing gable. i can talk about the shadow

understanding of that means the portion of market street and third street directly in front of the facade should the zoning administrator interpreting that differently, we'll be requesting different amendment. but i think we're all on the same page. thank you. >> president hyland: any questions commissioners? any member of the public wish to speak on this item? we have one. >> good afternoon. i read the online packet. i was fascinated to learn about the lunchroom, you learn that way inside the packet that there's a lunchroom. i think everything proposed to be preserve is great except getting rid of the julian morgan little house on the top. cannivecan you have the overhea? it slows the flag pole. lot is made about keeping the flag pole. i hope that's kept. i found this online. i guess this is where the julian morgan house is. i think it's important that report says it's a significant factor. it's ricked with -- it's linked with all the things that are preserved. when you was up there, i put a tile. i was really impressed. my sister-in-law lived in hollister there was a man who had tile he

the facade that is what is special about this station is that its architecture is entertainment the architect are commuters could educate themselves while waiting for the train they could have something to look at and maybe even learn something i think they are the kind of women was the architect who designed most of west berlin subway stations forty eight of them between one thousand nine hundred sixty six and one nine hundred ninety six putting his stamp on the city one magnificent example is that house and out with an architecture somewhere between art deco and a cathedral. during the years of division some west berlin subway lines crossed through east berlin the trains travelled slowly and without stopping through the really empty stations. to the park station on the u. five line the sober and straightforward it's the only underground station that east germany ever built due to the high costs involved. west berlin had more money which is obvious in stations like polished and so on the use seven lavish tiling a field of flowers under the moon and stars a world of wonder below berlin. off i

here's the western facade looking along marilyn street further down. here's a close up view showing the retail showing how the storefron storefron storefronts ungul at a -- you see a lot of building ungulatetion and you see the upper levels and the catwalk system connecting the east side to the west side of the building with the courtyard area. and the 22nd street looking west along the south facade of the building where it meets. >> thank you, david. staff and i ask the port commission asked to close the meeting in the late public defender jeff hagachi and was a fierce defender of the most marginalized people in san francisco. we miss him terribly. our hearts go out to his family and friends and the staff who will have to carry on. that concludes my report. >> i wanted to thank you for the kind words but it only works if i can accepted on behalf of the organization. particularly people who came to all the public discussions and my team. you could have broadened the engagement. i think there's 5,000 flowers of inputs and perspectives that have been wove

still remain from before the revolution and have been reconstructed since, like the lastjudgment on the facadethe cathedral. although successive waves of restoration have maintained the cathedral's main features, some of which date back to the 12th century, maintaining the building is an ongoing challenge. pollution, acid rain and age are now eating up not only its fine details but also this building's actual structure, and it's particularly striking when you go behind the scenes here. i'm at the back of the cathedral, a place that tourists don't usually get to see. notre dame looks so imposing from the street, towering down, this huge structure, but when you get up close, it's amazing to see how much the old girl kind of needs a helping hand. help is what michel is trying to provide. his charity, friends of notre dame, has launched an appeal that asks private donors to help pay for some of the most urgently needed repairs. you can see here we have parts that were at risk of falling, so we removed them and have stored them here. if we don't want the cathedral to collapse, we need to rapair, to

with my work and bringing trim and so you don't see where the addition is done. this faÇades a design and a trend that will not necessarily stand the test of time. it is comparable to the infamous victorian of the eighties, if you know that design, a cheap developer's dream dumped after the sale of the homeowners. it is comparable to the character of the boxy fifties and sixties stucco cubes that stare blankly at us for decades afterwards. it is brutal. a jumble of linear cubes that doesn't fit the architectural integrity of the surrounding buildings. why not use a faÇade that fits the hood. whatever happened to trying to fit in to the neighborhood? secondary, this project has nothing to do with addressing affordable housing crisis, but is instead a ploy that will increase the value of the subject property purely for economic gain. the owner has stated unequivocally that he will not live in the proposed front building, and that his son maybe living in the back building, but we suspect down the road the properties will be condominium and sold and we will be living there looki

and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time as the facade also depicts the crueler side in the middle ages. the church vilified jews. this culture shows them suckling from a pig a deliberate insult and humiliation as pigs are considered unclean in judaism. even so the building as a whole is an impressive monument next to the one in cologne regensburg cathedral is considered to be germany's most extraordinary gothic cathedral. reagan's burg was not only important because it became a bishop seed fairly early on the danube was a significant trade and traffic route and here on its banks in the old town hall the perpetual diet or rice stock was held for over one hundred forty years. to find out more about what that was and what it meant for the city i'm meeting the director of the reagans birth museums scare still. leaving. us out of what exactly was the perpetual diet. from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century reagan spoke was actually the capital of europe a bit like brussels today. the natural diet was convened in sixteen sixty three just a few years after the thirty years ru

the facade is still there. however authorities came in and shut that building down. tch from this angle. you can see the man's reaction to what's happening. >> oh, my gosh. oh, my goodness. >> he stepped out of there. >> i think he was only hit by dust. nobody was injured. a car did have to swerve out of the way. they had some severe weather in the uk. they say this is the result of gale force winds at 65 miles per hour. >> look how he came back to look. he was like -- >> gale force winds? >> only 65. i thought i could do 75. i was having a low day. >>> megan and irving have been together 11 years. the end of march marks 12 yes.
