subject -- february 2017 pack he built an entire unpermitted third floor.otices of enforcement followed. in april and may of this year, they approached us to put together another agreement. this document somehow, they forgot after it was made until two days before we had to file for d.r. the issue here is not whether the current architectural plan submitted are adequate. the issue is he has never adhered to the prior plans he has submitted or to the permits he received. those very plans have not been worth anything. his current request for permit plans seem adequate and they must be seen in the light of the exceptional circumstances i have described. aggregated and violated every permit code and every plan in the history of this project. has repeated actions have endangered our property, our house, our health and safety. 's actions have interfered with of interfered with the work life and my right not to live and feel endangered. quite frankly, i am worn out by this. because of these exceptional circumstances we are asking that this permit application go to

it looks like the permitted and unpermitted change is already in this ordinance, so i'm a little confused. you know, while -- can we continue this and go to item number six? my apologies. >> supervisor tang: we'll continue this item until later in the meeting, and we'll go to item number six, then. we have a new clerk. >> clerk: agenda item six is an ordinance amending the public use code on the water use. >> committee members, if i could have the slides, please. yes. i'm here to talk about the recycled water ordinance and how things have evolved relative to recycled water in san francisco and elsewhere. the recycled water ordinance has been in effect since is 991, it's amicable to new and remodelled -- applicable to knew and remodelled buildings and has designated recycled use areas where required installation of dual plumbing areas exist. those are the areas in purple noted there on the screen. this is driven in part by geographical differences. the west side has large parks and golf courses, and the east side has newer and more dense urban developments and more opportunity for indoor,

the second question is how long has the existing unpermitted structure been there? >> i was not -- >> okay, you don't know. >> i don't know when it was built, i was called in after the notice of violation was received. >> then my question to staff would be, what state did you find the unpermitted structure? was it under construction? was it finished? >> he took pictures. in my estimation probably 3-4 months before he was there. first violation issued may 7th. >> it's under construction then, the department would say. >> let me just mention that both the owners, their english is very limited. so a lot of the correspondence may be -- they may not be aware of what these letters are. after i was retained, i tried to explain to them all the paperwork that's involved and have attended the director's hearing and explained to them that this is a process and this is how we have to get it legalized and have to go through this neighborhood notice process. and we did all that. and now we are ready to get the full permit to finalize the legalization. >> just through the chair, w

for the unpermitted demolition. in the b.i.c. meeting, d.b.i. employees and the project architect and contractor engaged in a detailed justification of why the building was demolished. however, all the parties sidestepped why building code section 103(a) was not enforced. discussing justifications for building code violations without discussing polish happens much too often in b.i.c. meeting. no b.i.c. member asked the contractor or the architect why they did not file for demolition permits before removing the house or asked d.b.i. employees why they did not issue an m.o.v. for demolition without a demolition permit. i find this incredibly disappointing. in the meeting i passed out copies of two whistle blower complaints i filed with the city's auditor. the home at 5999 hopkins avenue. i am unable to reconcile the city controller's action with the b.i.c.'s inaction regarding 49 hopkins avenue. thank you. >> clerk: any additional public comment? seeing none, item four, commissioner's questions and matters, 4(a), inquiries to staff. at this time,

while the property owner originally proposed to legalize all the unpermitted alterations, the planning department worked with the property owner to remove certain features that were not necessary. preservation staff reviewed the front facade and gave ceqa clearance for the stucco conversion while planning staff reviewed the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the house. in the end, the final number was ensuring that each bedroom was livable and the dwelling had sufficient living space to accommodate all of those bedrooms. the final tally was ten bedrooms and six full bathrooms. it should be noted that the planning code does not limit the number of bedrooms in a single-family dwelling which gave us some issues in figuring out how to analyze this. there were numerous complaints in opposition to the process during the initial enforcement in this by neighbors. since notification of the hearing, the department has received eight statements of opposition from neighbors and one phone call with the previously mentioned issues as reasoning. while the size of the dwelling is somewhat large at 28

to avoid complications with the unpermitted parking lots, it should be whether it was established with the benefit of a permit. so, with the incorporation of staff recommended modification, the proposed ordinance strikes a balance between preserving light industrial and arts uses and meeting the need for new affordable housing. protects vulnerable use, allowing only 100% affordable housing projects on undeveloped sites and surface parking lots. hundreds of affordable housing units on land that is not utilized. >> president hillis: open up for public comment. one speaker card. miss hayward. >> miss hayward has given me bumping rights because i do want to acknowledge that sophie hayward was very instrumental in the concept and designing of this legislation, so i want to make sure she gets the last word. how about that? but commissioners, good afternoon, peter cone with the housing organizations and we are here to support this fully. i think bobby lopez from supervisor kim's office summarized nicely, very simple piece of legislation. at a time when we need to find more affordable housing
