one is to put the stairs in first and run a regularlet around the stairs that the stucco comes down to. a reglet is an l-shaped piece of metal that you're waterproofing for the stucco that goes behind distribute stucco goes on top of. it's a piece of flashing and that follows -- they'll make it -- it follows the curves and the whole edge of the stairs. and so you can put that on there, the stucco paper comes down there and you would stucco on top thath

the siding, the windows, the doors, the stairs, the sidewalk, the landscape. so let's just look at a couple different kinds of buildings and the typical problems they might have. so, for example, here's a building with final siding. what kind of maintenance do we need with the vinyl siding? we have to wash the thing, that's for darn sure. what do you think? >> it's got to be washed, caulked, checked to make sure water is not getting behind the siding. >> caulking is not a replacement for good flashing. caulk something sort of a -- an interim waterproofing material that has to be maintained. if somebody says, we have a leak, let's caulk it, what that means is we've got a temporary solution that's going to leak some more unless you maintain that caulking constantly. the way that leaks are prevented and by the way leaks and water intrusion are pretty much the number one problem in buildings. that's my experience. is that what you see as well? the way to really prevent that is through proper flashing, typically metal, and then counterflashing over the top. complex

one is to put the stairs in first and run a regularlet around the stairs that the stucco comes down to. a reglet is an l-shaped piece of metal that you're waterproofing for the stucco that goes behind distribute stucco goes on top of. it's a piece of flashing and that follows -- they'll make it -- it follows the curves and the whole edge of the stairs. and so you can put that on there, the stucco paper comes down there and you would stucco on top that have after and then you have a little caulk joint that is just something you have to maintain. it's not critical, that goes between the reglet and president stair. that will keep the stucco from cracking. >> here's an example of why we need to maintain a distance clearance between the dwround and the siding. you see this wood siding goes right down to the concrete sidewalk and it's rotting at the bottom. that rot is just going to run up through the wood and into the framing behind and once again -- now this is interesting. those are wood stairs in a wood structure. much better solution. they're also protected because they're inside. so th

this year in the inspector said that the stairs did not pass. i explained. he cited me for the latter, which i also explained. this commission had decided that the ladder utility was a problem. so, i explained that i have also read all of the end -- information they had, that they sent this information out to help us understand that the permit plans for the deck did not list the ladder and that was posted as a garage extension. i said that was because when we went to building, i had to go back to taking pictures and they told me i could not take down the garges because they had allowed a loft lying window next door. since they improve that, i told them that had nothing to do with that. i kept bringing them pictures showing them what i would do. consequently i paid $350 for a permit. i wrote in and buys citation notice, the information that was apparently approved by this commission of regarding the supervisors' request to have them taken off because they could be dangerous because a child had hurt themselves. they had been there three times to talk to the com

one of the things that we did was removed the stairs from the house. we had a great deal into their yard or their house. a much better view than we have had from the deck. since we removed the stairs, we no longer have access to our fire escape except from the bedroom deck. thank you. there's something on the screen.

on the topmost, we had to do without the stair penthouse. we carved out a portion of the third floor so it could be a stair that would not require arrested go through the various process. we worked through the process. everything was noticed correctly. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. president peterson: mr. sanchez? >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. it just a few points. at first, in regards to notification. out of the planning code referred to, the 311 requirements. the replies to bridge it applies to buildings. a strict reading would mean that you did not even need that foredecks. however, there is interpretation of section 311 that requires notification for certain tax. a deck that has a fire wall higher than 10 feet, the debt itself higher than 10 feet, there are certain times when a neighborhood notice is required for a deck under this interpretation. that is first, the notification. at second, the variance issue regarding the installation of the deck on the noncompliant portion, this interpretation from 1986 has be

in the buildings they have spiral slides so in an emergency you didn't run down the stairs and told the guy to hop in the slide and out the building and that was their emergency e aggress. >> and they're designed if there an explosion it doesn't blow the walls out. and one of my favorite is the old pump station and now used as the headquarters of the fire department and one thing that makes this -- dare i say odd building and has live tidal sea water from the cove. >> the bu bay used to be right about there. >> the bay was about a couple hundred yards away -- maybe 800-yards away and so there is now an under ground i have duct that -- via duct that brings this here and can take water from the bay and into the high pressure system for most earthquake or fire protection. >> if they ran out of regular domestic water. >> or if the pipes broke and that happened in 1906 and might happen. a couple of other things that make this building intest

if you look up at the ceilings and panels and feel the lights in the building and walked up the stairwalk up the stairs, i am sure i'm not going to be alone and calling this the crown jewel, the biggest branch library in our system. so thank you so much for being here with us today. this is an incredible library. thank you. >> thank you so much, supervisor. like any project, there are helpful groups along the way, and there were a couple here for the richmond project. we had a funding gap, but during that time i can always remember talking to the supervisor and having him say, do not give up, we will make it happen. he did, and it is my pleasure to introduce the former supervisor. thank you. [applause] >> good afternoon. we printed a lot of money, and late at night we would blow on it. we got through it. it is a miracle the year after year san francisco found a way to finance. as a wonderful, wonderful free library system, in addition to everything else. when i got this job, the year before i was elected, almost nine years ago, there was an event here to kick off the campaign. nine ye

the garage, and then to the left of the garage is the laundry area and the stairs, but the 04 08 showsom to the left of that. i think the question was that would require excavation depending upon where that fellow. commissioner fung: it goes to more than that. when i said there were no documents provided for us to review, we had no idea what this reflects. it is incomplete. there is no way to get a fix on exactly what is being done. vice president goh: so then i do have a question for the homeowners' representative. cars does not have the stamp. -- ours does not have the stamp. so it shows the garage, but to the left of that, it shows a game room. is that new? or was that part of -- >> it has not really changed from one place to another. what changed was the grade. it was so you could get windows on the ground floor. the floor plate has not changed. vice president goh: the fact that there is habitable space on the first floor is not new. >> there was for their before, but it was without windows. vice president goh: oh, i see. >> but by digging that out, all of a sudden, you have livabl

and the filbert street stairs, because of the rockfall that occurred, new stairs were built, and they were built in a manner that when rockfalls occur, that actually lift out the stairs and put them on the ground and allow the crane to get back there to access the rockfall. >> beyond that, the building that we see at the bottom of the rockfall was actually designed to allow barack to fall off and be compounded by the building -- actually designed to allow barack to fall off and be impounded by the building. >> that is the corner of sansome and green. every couple years, there is a rock fall that occurs behind that building. >> now we are on russian hill. this is the most beautiful location of exposed bedrock. across the street from the art institute on chestnut. >> that and tires sitting -- that entire setting, that is a beautiful setting, the deck and the panorama of the city. >> cannot be it. now we are on at leavenworth street, around the corner of chestnut or francisco. >> these walls are common throughout the city, and they were built as part of the stimulus package following the

it's not critical, that goes between the reglet and president stair. that will keep the stucco from cracking. >> here's an example of why we need to maintain a distance clearance between the dwround and the siding. you see this wood siding goes right down to the concrete sidewalk and it's rotting at the bottom. that rot is just going to run up through the wood and into the framing behind and once again -- now this is interesting. those are wood stairs in a wood structure. much better solution. they're also protected because they're inside. so they're not going to have as much of a problem. they still have a joint there which is a leak problem that has to be caulked. this is sort of an interesting exercise. as you walk down the street i want to you look at the buildings carefully and see if you can see the space between the buildings in san francisco. and here we have a space that's about 3 fourth of an inch or an inch or something like that -- 3/4 of an -- 3 fourth of an inch or an -- 3/ of an inch or an inch, or something like that. you do a roof and y

the captain just came on and told us that the police will be bringing some air stairs up to the door and coming on board. then they'll escort passengers off two at a time. it's very calm on here. it's not tense at all. >> we understand the plane was headed for new york's jfk airport this morning when police got this threat. i'm curious, are they giving you any more information about this? >> no. that was the first of it. they had not told us anything about hijacking or anything at all. we were on the runway. we did not get off the runway. >> how much advance time did you get notice of this? was everything a go once you got on board the plane or it was pretty immediate after everyone boarded the plane? >> once we got on the plane there was some delays in getting the aircraft pushed back from the gay. when we scott on the runway, we were on the runway and position in hold waiting to take off. we were there, then they taxied off and said we've been told to return to the gate by the tower. we weren't give an reason why. then since then we've just taxied to a remote part of the airport an

for one week, i greeted the police department up and down the stairs, whatever they were looking for. i have the footage of the visits and i am perplexed when they say we don't have the enforcement and we don't have the resources to do these things. i cannot tell you how many visits there were. i thank them for having the decency. they are just following orders. we are here because we're asking for a permit. is this necessary or desirable? the majority of speakers say that this is not only economically vital but this is also cultural enrichment. don't stop the music. if he stopped the music, we still know the steps to justice. home life 15, peac>> is there fc comment? if not come up public comment is closed. mr. crawford, i noticed on the motion, the project's sponsors, this is to allow other entertainment being capitalized. in particular, a karaoke machine. i would like two definitions from you. i don't know the definition of other entertainment, technically. i don't know whether you feel or the department feels this is limiting what the other definition it is to a karaoke machine. >

he leads me to the stair well, but no sooner do i begin descending when i feel myself hurtled down my a kick to my back falling and landing up a level on my feet as the door closes with a snicker and the bus pulls away. from my amazement what they do, the latina asks in startled urgency on the sidewalk. and home wards make me realize, i am 72. for the first time in my life. 2. one could i suppose chaplin it a way. how for no reason suddenly one is popped or clobbered with the cane. kicked in the ass for a slap stick for silence. but it just happens, humiliation sounds very depth. just happens, a wound knows no depth of time and not so random is the karma of lungs breezing arkayicly. i didn't know the volatility of the hatred, i could only think dike. but if you prophecy be true that it will be reasoned. and reasoned must find it's violence in order to be for violence is the memory a horror carried by the soul of the blood to sect. she, a violent of resistance is also a violence for, if she said or of me. why not take all of me and shove it up your ass because you can just about sit wi
