a speaker went to speak about a project, about van ness and the one on greenwich and van ness is built and there are a lot of consequence that come up. i never see anything but certainly if we had another project that is similar to the one on van ness and greenwich which is extremely well-built, i think and attractive and it's provided a lot of very good housing, i think that's the kind of thing we are looking at. so i am in favor of it and i don't -- also i'm concerned about the fact that sometimes we don't want to instigate a situation where we have to go through whole appeal process again and have a second bite at the apple for those that might not ago agree with a particular project. i think we need to consider what mr. moore talked about. architectural concerns are something the commission ought to take a look at. we should know what changes have occurred because i have seen some projects we approved and when they were finally build, the detailing wasn't there, the relief on windows and things like that. that's important to know about, but i'm not sure that you have to have anothe

this part right -- that's 1000 van ness. it's clear from the map that it doesn't include my client's property. however when you look at the wording of the proposed resolution in the ordinance. it actually brings in the narrative sense it brings the boundaries down to o'farrell. that is just below the hatch box that i drew. we are asking that the narrative language in the resolution and ordinance, be modified to clarify that the stops placed in myrtle street is north of our property. it's clear and forecloses any amb ambut -- ambiguity in the future. that's my questions. >> any additional public comment? okay, seeing none. public comment is closed. i would like to ask and maybe staff could address this 1000 van ness. is it correct in the description it's included? >> the actually the description excludes that lot. the description says that the proposed sud would go as far south as accepting the lots that front o'farrell. and all the lots south of ob taupele place and it's excluded and i understand the confusion. that's very m

the real estate department had nothing to do with locating 1200 van ness and that was done by the law library. we brought in our real estate person and we are negotiating with the owner who had 22,000 gross feet, square feet on one floor and 8,000 gross square feet on another floor and had some additional square footage and wanted the law library in there. the county real estate department took over the negotiation and shut the law library's real estate people out. they took it over themselves and the next thing you knew, they came up with just 20,000 net, square feet. and then they went out and found somebody and took them down and say that the appropriate amount of pace was 20,000. >> so this was the kind of information that has been furnished to you and i think that it was suspect the way that it was done and i urge you to reject this resolution and send it back to the executive branch and call for a real study to be done about what this really needed and what is available. thank you very much. >> good morning, supervisors my name is trevon machan and i am an attorney and i practic

career, i have witnessed the closing of the (inaudible) law library and its consolidation at the van ness library, and what i am concerned about at this point is that the law library itself is telling you, that they need 30,000 square feet and you are trying to force them into 15,000 to 20,000 square feet. and i am here to say that i think that shoving them into that smaller space is going to substantially reduce the amount of law that the public will have access to. if you were to wipe out a half to a third of the main library in san francisco, you would lose, offers from a through g or a through f, would have to be thrown out, or you would lose all non-fiction books. you would lose some fiction books, the point is that you are going to substantially disrupt the public access to law. we don't know what areas of law will be wiped out, we don't know how
