. >> commissioners tim frye department staff before ms. wong chimes in i want to make one point of clarification that's a unique project and technically only the exterior is designated but under the planning commission original approval the basis for their approval was relied b upon them restoring the interior it's protected but as a condition of approval as part of the project. it certainly didn't diminish our approval for the project but just as a matter of clarification the looked is for the exterior walls. >> to answer the question regarding how we can security guard the reinstallation of the fabric that's removed and salvaged and protected i don't have an answer i want the project sponsor to come up and maybe answer to give us some clarity regarding they're proposed program. >> good afternoon, commissioners that's an interesting question to be sure i think one of the answers we can give you this is a fully funded project that is ready to come out of the ground within the next couple of months it's a sister project to a building on 500

i think we can keep the other conditions that upper there. >> commissioners sorry to interrupts tim frye with department staff only for the staff to eliminate any references to the utility box. >> yes. >> and to be sporadic overview specific on the holes a range of innovation so we are clear. >> and probably as closed to the patent area has possible. >> did that seem like. >> oh, second and one further amendment and i know it's going there but this is commissioner johns point about the emmanuel and repair that mta comments on the repair after the fact and any shifting will happen in the drilling we want to understand the emmanuel to be maintained. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner wolfram you made the motion and commissioner pearlman you seconded it. i'm going to read back but i know i missed one portion of it. so there is a motion and a second to approve the certificate of appropriateness with conditions amending the draft motion and striking any references to the pole being attached to the box and that the box not be mounted to the pole and only one 3 quarter of an inch

. >> tim frye department staff that's our preliminary question does it apply the prioritization or a way to craft the language as a matter of saying we're going to identify those properties the goal is not to show we're prioritizing them but should they're important. >> that's the word. >> yeah. >> so that's the discussion. >> right. >> well, you know, everybody likes to prioritize things but frequently when people say that they have no idea of what they're talking about they have the vague it idea they're only saying this is important. if you're going to prioritize something that means 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that means we will decide it something is more important and have the priority over something else i don't know that's something we particularly want to do. because some different people on the commission and different members of the public can have vastly different ideas about that and you might say that well, who's to say really which is more important than someone else so if everything has priority nothing has any priority. i think we really have to be careful of those terms and if we

. >> good afternoon tim frye to share a few things the architecture review committee provided the light rail art installation i might be familiar with the aluminated art installation extend from the machining line and attached to the light rail system the ar c was approving of it very have a few issues the project manager will resolve and they're up on the light fixed and they're overall location. the h pc about tomato take up the certificate of the appropriateness in the june hearing. the full commission composed and provided a comment on 57 spine street that item will be before you at the later date questions or comments i'll forward those to you and finally a certificate of appropriateness of the alamo square appropriation advertise for improvement of the landscaping along the entry and 88 updates and a new structure adjacent to the playground. overall the commission was supportive of the project and the improvements there were members of the public that came out in support of the project and some members raising concerns about the landscape treatment and the necessity for an additio

. >> commissioners tim frye department staff we definitely hear you to the words the designation is something to protect the building we want to convey that but go back to the drawing board to reword that that will definitely bring to you at a further date and let's move to. any public comment on that item on objective 2. >> jim and victorian alliance many of your comments are gratifying to here i was regulated to hear commissioner pearlman bring up when we get to the heart of the issue the secretary of interior standards and having clarification so we know what we're dealing with i wholeheartedly encourage that commissioner johns your reworded was excellent that makes sense. and in terms of the specific sections 2.5 i think commissioner wolfram is correct we have very few significant interiors that are protected and there's a great benefit to continuing to protect those that are either public or publicly assessable. so i support that very strongly. in terms of commissioner johns concern about how we're phrasing the judge support which sounds vague and again, i do building, you know, there ar

. >> tim frye department staff in terms of the conversation how to move forward has was mentioned we've been working with with supervisor cowen's office with amendments to maintain the balance of the preservation use especially to mitigate some of the loss we're seeing because frankly i don't think anybody anticipated the incentive to be used this widely as currently proposed. i think what will happen is when that alleviation is introduced it has to come before this body and another commission we will have a robust discussion what we want to see for the preservation for looked uses. and currently we'll think out of the box for specific pdr incentives in the historic property >> that's an economic question. >> is this active legislation. >> were working with supervisor cowen's office actively right now and knee me anticipate something happening now. >> we do by i don't want to speak on behalf of the supervisors. >> commissioner hyde you mentioned about pulling some numbers we'll do that and report back to you at the future building. >> and agenda did i see what the language is currently.
