will correspond to the national percentage of votes cast that's not the case of course with the majority variance system in the majority and majority or in system where candidates elect where electors vote or where voters elect a specific candidate the outcome in terms of the percentage of seats does not correspond to the national total and many people who live in majority countries think that's unfair my own view is that the majority and system is better i am supporter of the majority and system it's the system that we have in britain and in france and that exists as well as in the united states but you know that's the system russia has chosen and like all electoral systems and indeed like all aspects of democracy it has pros and cons they took you talk about supporting the majority in system but i this is the second and the last time that parties have to break a seven percent threshold to be eligible to win seats in the parliament how does that barrier affect the domestic russian political system. or well i don't know i'm not aware of it having any particular effect at all i mean obviously it e

the proposed legislation also reduces variances and increases code compliance. it also increases as a right parking in the c-3. the idea is, if that is what we are granting them, we might as well just made that the code requirement, but we can also give a takeaway if someone were to succeed that one to to, rather than just a simple 39 procedure on the conditional use, and that threshold is a little bit higher -- rather than just a simple 309 procedure. in addition, the legislation has certain exemptions to allow automotive service stations along primary transit streets or citywide pedestrian networks to be exempt from the conversion process, so right now, you have to show that the gas station is not viable, or it needs a conditional use to be removed. this would allow the za greater authority for these gas stations to close without additional process, and again, it gives the za more under section 161. it also does incentivizes parking -- it also dis- incentivizes parking in the c- 3. parking lots would have to cease operation within five years of this legislation

commissioners, as you consider the request for compliance, the zoning administrator will hear the request for variance. b>> good afternoon, with department staff. this is a determination request to convert a four-story industrial building to mixed use, with 60 residential units, five off street parking spaces, and a spot ground-floor commercial space at 529 stevenson street. there were concerns raised at the september and october hearings and the changes to the project include to reduce the number of dwellings and the product from 62 to 60, expand the interior courtyard, and originally this project was asking for exposure variants of 40 units. they decreased the number of studio units from 43 to 27 and increased the number of one- bedrooms from 19 to 33. they dedicate one space for car share parking, with a separate parking from the other spaces, and rearranged our separate the rearranged the bicycle parking. finally, the main thing, they have significantly expanded the interior courtyard. where previously it was a little more than 25 feet the last time you saw it, now it is close to 40 feet and it re

the first one highlights the keep budgetary variances. water use and sales from july through september are lower than assumed in the budget. retell water deliveries averaged 5.2% year-to-date, below the prior year. there's also lower water demand in the municipal departments, and the wholesale trends continue to decline with wholesale water delivery 9.6% year to date below prior year. water and waste water sources have a similar story. basically lower than budget due to lower water demand and treatment. waters cost savings of about $9 million partially offset the revenue shortfall that is projected due to lower water consumption and lower interest yields. all the waste water sources are projected to be below budget, cost savings from the get positions in general reserve contingency are projected to fully offset the lower revenues. hetch hetchy power sources are projected to be on budget after taking into consideration the elimination of the federal clean renewable energy bonds and the increase of power sales. cost savings of about $10 mill

the rear yard setback. they didn't ask for a variance. >> i don't know the specifics of the original plan that came in, but from what was explained by the project's sponsor, it sounds like you came in with a project that was taking advantage of what the code be twice as deep f the neighboring homes. typically, we are just not going to recommend someone come in with that. we're recommending to see modifications. >> and there isn't the third story addition anywhere. there isn't one in the entire block across the street from both streets that i can see. it seems like, i don't know. this building was also, as pointed out by one of the people testifying, it is right at the end, and you will see the entire second and third story elevations from one angle. and there isn't a building next to it that hides the upper floor. that is a concern to me. if given sentiment in the neighborhood that they would rather see a de, horizontal addition, i don't know. maybe that is the direction to go. >> that would put us at odds with what is stated specifically in the residential contract. commissioner sugaya: i understand that.

the electricity to pass through it when it's shaded and the inverter is also getting some smart technology in them to be able to handle variances in the mod use due to shading. >> so it sounds like we need to take a look at this inverter, is that possible? >> sure, it's on the other side of the building on the roof. let's take a walk over there. >> let's do it. >> after you. >> so this is it. this is where the magic happens? >> yep, this is the inverter here for the british motors installation. a residential inverter might weigh 50 pounds and be about 12 inches by 20 inches. they'll usually hang on your wall. they can be outside your house. they are weather tight. they can be inside your house in the garage or someplace else that's accessible. >> what would the next step in the process be if i were interested in solar panels? >> well, i think a great first step would be to find a reputable solar consultant, a solar installation company and talk to them about your needs and your desires. they should be able to look at your historical energy usage over time. they'll look at your past electricity bills. they'll come out and look a

. >> i think the question from south, they are saying that you need a variance. >> i was getting communication with the project planner. he is saying, it does not encroach. the original plan did not approach -- encroach into the rear yard. president olague: how about the side? straight out, ok. commissioner antonini: thank you. i do note that under our pending d.r. reform legislation, this project would not have even been referred to the commission, which is interesting. it would not be referred on the staff report. staff felt it did not rise to level that it even should be considered. i would tend to agree, to some extent here. i do realize that you have a situation where the homes see thshis addition that wasn't there before, but there is a separation, a 40-foot separation between the backs of their houses and the wall. there is still plenty of light coming in, and those homes sit in a north-south direction and whereas the house sits on the east-west. their primary light sources are east-west, so it would be more from the windows on the sides of the house that would be the case from the nort

there will be around somewhere i think 12 and 13 million cars sold in the united states this year and we're talking about a varianceween 10,000 and 6,000 or 4,000 or whatever it was, that you said, neil. charlie, gm had the strategy in place well before the economic crisis and the government-- >> and this is a concept and hit the numbers for proof of concept. >> if not the biggest-- >> you think it's a good concept? >> and it's a failure, no argument for now, it's a failure. >> neil: whoa, whoa, whoa. >> that's-- >> that's big news, adam thinks it's a failure. and the fact is though, right now, gasperino, this is what we're looking at that this was a federally sponsored car. heavily incentivized. and i don't have anything against these cars and don't use my tax dollars. >> so be it. >> i'm sure it was in the drawing board for gm before it was taken over by the government. wouldn't have gone to the extent it's going now unless you have a government-- >> ever company has a lost leader. >> and the lost leader makes mathematic sense always. >> down the road. >> and you absolutely have to be able to, in your first 90 da

job of a journalist to keep the journal of the day and write about what happens in about those who have power over us. >> is what she said earlier in variance or about the police and how they might have behaved towards "news of the world," was that a matter of speculation was that something you have to acknowledge of? >> well, i have had to acknowledge in the sense that they made the er to give evidence under caution, which means i would've been arrested first before given evidence. and i refused three times, saying they must commit to give evidence. in return i'm in dover. drive job and arrest me. instead of doing that. no new evidence. case closed. i can't jumping up and down about that. and that's why it was pretty open and that's why we are here today because both the policemen and gates and the other guy fell on their swords because clearly there had been a cover at because we know the assembly journalists and become between the politicians, journalists are too cozy. i'm a lot more comfortable with that side of things. and i prefer to combat that question the insane i wouldn't rarely cozy up to a police officer. >> i ask you now about

raising heights on the waterfront, i do not care what anybody says, there is not a developer, him or her in this town, who would not wait for a 146-foot variance and wonder when they will get their foot into developing properties along the northeast corridor. thank you very much. supervisor mar: president chiu, i dissent to mention that some were referred to negatively, and some helped to produce this community vision with quite a bit of time, but you mentioned to the chinatown focus group, and i am wondering if you could talk a little bit about how this helped to inform the plan, as well. >> opening up the neighborhood to the waterfront, and this plan does develop that, and we felt we needed as much information and input from our neighboring greece. i might also add that my group has sponsored a scholarship program for the low-income housing so that they could come to the club and be a part of the kids camp, which is the only kind of club in the city. every year. 700 kids belong to that and come to that club. president chiu: part of supervisor mar's question, how many kids? >> over 2800. they come from all over, from oakland, marin county, fr
