variance? >> i'm not aware of any that have been granted. again, i don't have -- i'm not necessarily in a position to be knowledgeable of all of those if they had been issued. >> president fung: thank you. >> i have a question. regarding the neighbour, was it anonymous or an immediate neighbour? >> i do not know off the top of my head if it was an immediate neighbour. the e-mail we received was not anonymous. >> regarding the n.s.r., understanding that the planning department and building department are two separate entities, and n.s.r. is a deed restriction. student that come up since we are computerized? if there is a hard date expiration, shouldn't that be noted when the authorization is given so future departments don't, i mean, it seems unfair to the permit holder that they have gone through this additional process only to find out that potentially this is null and void. >> sure. we have not had that digital capability in the past. those are the kind of things we want to be able to get out

three years after the variance decision which rendered the variance decision void and cancelled. the planning department is requesting that the permit be suspended to allow the property owner time to submit a new variance application for the project. we will hear from the appellant. you have seven minutes. >> i need to make a disclosure. good evening. i wish to disclose that i am a partner in a project that was hired as an attorney. the appearance this evening will not have any effect on my decision. although i wish to disclose that although the disclosure is only one year, i was a builder, developer and seller five other property which is directly across the street. i have the knowledge and i have met with all the neighbours prior to that time. >> thank you. >> good evening commissioners. my name is mike. i am the architect and a previous owner thought about this property. i will give you a little history about the project and the nature of the variance. my wife and i brought the property in 2002. the idea was for me, and architect to design a house that we would build and move

variance? or has he? >> i am not aware of that happening. obviously, mr sanchez would have a better idea himself. that was not something i was able to? from our system. i do know that to -- from our knowledge, it does not happen unless it is within the context of what the letter says. which is a lawsuit or appeals. if there had been discretion, that the zoning administrator would have strongly considered using it in this situation because of all the reasons we have mentioned. nothing has really changed. they basically got it ready to be issued within a year and when they were ready to move forward with it and the issue with the n.s.r., not including the three year requirement which we have not changed. if he felt he had that discussion he would have strongly considered using it. but ultimately it was his determination that he did not have that determination. >> commissioner honda: a comes to mind, we had eight brotherhood way that had not been active on the permits for 15 or 20 years. we voted

no variances. second, the project will have privacy impacts on the appellant the large floor to ceiling willing -- windows look into their house bedrooms and living areas. if the viewpoints shown in these diagrams were self-selected and self-serving. there we go. anyone standing in the windows or edge of the deck will have a direct view into their house windows. the historic evaluation of the project impacts on the mansion was completely inadequate. the planning department did not require or undertake a formal evaluation of the impacts of the project on the house. the zoning administrator stated there was no impact. there is no basis for this finding. the proposed project obscures a large section of the wall of the house from the public way. the existing wall of the building on the corner of the block competes less with historic resource because it is in obtrusive and further away. the diagram is not adequate and accurately showing the extent to which the view of the house will be restricted as dep

variance i then voted against the project. that didn't make much sense. however, the suggestion had been made to b me that we're acting n a variance but that the commissioners might want to voice concerns should this go through and into a site permit appeal. >> commissioners this matter is submitted. >> president fong: i have business for mr. sanchez. there's in municipalities that use imaginary property lines to look at certain configurations. we don't have that, do we? >> it sounds fantastic. [laughter]. >> president fong: no, like in an l-shape, if these were lega legally sized potential lots it could have been subdivided. it could have been, obviously, a property line would have been created to create two linear lots. and there's a couple minor sections of the code. planning does not use that at all. >> not that i can recall. i mean, it's just a question, you know, usually the only time we look at property lines is someone wants to come in and alter the property lines and sub-divide the lot. and then we're looking at how t

so the variances are -- there are two. one is that section 134 requires that rear yards shall be provided at grade level for this nc-1 district. this is unique because the other nc districts have -- rear yard can be at the first level of residential use. so that's a little bit unique. again, the existing building is one story and covers the entire site. so the literal enforcement of this code section would require us to -- it would essentially require us to tear down 27 1/2 feet of the existing building. so this would allow for including -- there's an existing two-car parking garage that's there. so we're expanding that to add one additional car and the three bicycle parking spaces. from the neighbors' point of view, there is no different as to where that yard is located, as well as the fact that there's no impact to mid-block open space because the area is not connected to the midblock open space. so the variance is in harmony with the intent of the code. it allows for three additional residential units. it allows for the

the expansion district met variance between the budget requirement. for benchmark two, comparing the variance of budget to actual spent, the t.i. d. about meet this benchmark and did carry forward and their management plan and financial review. thus meeting this requirement as did the moscone expansion district. in our findings recommendations is the t.i.d. and m. e.d. were successful. they do have organizations issues. we alerted them to the issues. broken links specifically. the website is out-of-date. and oewd reviews this website to ensure the corrections are being made. additionally, there may be some brown act violations by this organization during the course of website review. we discovered the last posted meeting agenda is dated october 30th, 2017. failure to post an agenda on their website is also a violation of the brown act. we recommended t.i.d. post all previously agenda and meeting notes to their website and that they post them in advance of meet this is accordance with the brown act and oewd held a training last week for all executive d

new there was a variance problem with these products, and then we knew there mightbe have pesticidesnd mold out there in the system. the good news is most of the prlems have been related to labeling, and they haven't been issues around pesticides or mold. and for the first time we're actually stopping and interdicting those products from hitting the shelves, which we we weren't doing under the medical system. >> should consumers be worried? >> i think they can be less worried than what they're going to buy on the black rk. a good chunk of consumers say i want to save money by still going to my guy, and think health conscious consumers want to start with not putting cannabis pesticides in their body. >> one of the questions i have around this, is the 10% variance 200 sma too small we have products that range from one milligram to ten milligrams. being able to test really creates asot of challenthat testing labs have not quite figured out how to find solutions to. >> can they chaenge the test results? >> not really. as far as i know you can go back and label your utackage. if it tests

other hand have had a catastrophic start of the campaign now they need to deliver against the mighty variance. coach to manacor to desk go has a lot to discuss with his squad a poor start to the season has resulted in last year's runners up sitting second from bottom in the table in their debut champions league march the royal blues could only manage a draw but a disco remains upbeat named easy to it so we're dealing with the situation and the guys are very prepared very focused and we realise we're in a tricky situation with the team knows they can't give just ninety eight percent it's not enough against any opponent they need to give one hundred percent. shoulders performances have been less than impressive their attack lacked ideas their defense was shaky but to just go believes tactically they're silent on the squad it just needs to make some small adjustments i lost fear and pressure shouldn't weigh us down we're looking forward to the game against biron in front of the home crowd it was time for. munich travel to go on the back of a champions league victory if childhood loses yet again

so we have filed applications with planning department for conditional use permit and a variance because it's in the rear yard. that's been, i will say, difficult dealing with the planning process. it's taken longer than we wanted it to. we're diligently pursuing it and i think we're approaching the end of the process now. we just received notices back from the planner who's reviewing the applications. i think the last thing he's asked for is a couple of edits to the site plan, and then i think we're going to have a hearing date shortly. so, you know, i appreciate everyone's patience on this. we are doing everything we can. the goal from the owner is to save what is a naturally affordable housing unit. it's a small dwelling unit that's been here forever and ever. we're going through, i think, more hassle in the permitting process than we would if they had just wanted to get rid of it. they're trying to save it. so we appreciate your interest in this. we would be grateful for more time to finish the process. what is there now will require substantial change to respect the neighbors wishes

this project also requires a rear yard variance for a small rear addition to accommodate bedrooms to the new unit. no parking is required at this site. 32 class 1 bicycle spaces will be provided. the conditional use for this project is for a building height greater than 40 feet with a 50 feet of street frontage. this concludes my summary of the project. i'm happy to have any questions. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you, ms. woods. project sponsor? i know we have two items here. how much time do you anticipate? >> we'll keep it to 10. >> president hillis: perfect. thank you. would we'll get you -- it should come up. sfgov tv, if we can have the computer. you can use the other mike, too. >> good afternoon. toby morris, representing the project sponsor. mary woods did a great job summarizing the project, the code issues, and environmental review. >> had lost itsri

so the target remains the same, no variances in the baseline for that. as a closeout for the digesters, including deactivation. >> when we quote the completion date, are we doing construction or -- >> president kwon: once you complete, right, then you may take time to close the contract out, right? >> i understand that. what is confusing to me is what we talk about. on page 260 of the binder that we have, there's the project performance and it shows a may, 2025, date. >> that is the project schedule for completion of the whole project, which includes substantial completion, final completion and closeout and activation of all the new digesters. the biological process takes some time. >> that can be confusing. the thing that you said that i like the most is the idea that even though we've had a delay in the start-up time that we will try to figure out how to meet the original completion date. and i think we received some inquiry about that and we need to be clear about what we mean when we say end of project and how the projects are affected by the slip st

we had just come out of the drought at that time, so that's why you're seeing a large variance here in terms of revenues above budget. when we start to report to you for fiscal '19, you'll see much smaller variances or changes against budget. we'll be much, much closer because we just set the budget for fiscal '19. so we are here, we're talking about revenues, about 48 million or just about 10% higher than our budget. as you can see, much of that is from additional water sails for wholesale and re -- water sales for wholesale and retail customers, and we did have an out pay of $9 million, and that was due to a legal settlement. it is fairly typical for each enterprise to have some unspent money at the end of the year, so a little over 5 million for water. for waste water, similar story. we have revenues above about 10%, and then, on the uses side, we have about $46 million in savings. the vast majority of that has to do with debt service savings and our unspent general reserve. and just a note on the debt service savings, that was mainly due to a change of timing. we changed the timing

>> we declined to request a variance for engine five b. >> clerk: that will place you under commission matters for item six. >> president hillis: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: it has been a very busy week. so much happened this week. more than happened in a break. i will break. i will be very brief. we have been hearing about the river and the p.u.c. fighting and state water resources to curtail shipments of water to the bay area. there was a counterpoint on tuesday in the chronicle. the city demand on the yes side. when i was reading the 870 franklin, led negative deck, on page 120, they talked about water resources and it talked about will adding additional residents to this project create any issues issues with water? and the answer and that was no because we were supposed to have enough water in the future for these residents. if you look at what is being said here under the no side, huge portions of the bay area would face water rationing on the order of 20-30% beyond the conservation rates achieved during the recent drought. since the river users are already am

training records and today, we're a big player on programs like the kc-135 and the c-130 and the variances of the c-130. and the remotely piloted aircraft and the m-2 and now the m-29 and there are other programs we participate in, but in some cases it's we're not there and nor can we replace the uniformed members who have a role to train and also evaluate the younger members of the service because we know there's a lot more going on in that military school or in that training than the rudder skills. this is where members are being assimilated into the service and it will be the first contract with the military culture and ethos. we are very careful to make sure that we are a very solid contributor and overstepping the boundaries of what makes sense in the context of a military flight training enterprise. when i look to the future we find more and more opportunities and we're finding this is the business reality today. >> five years ago, cai on the defense side would have light training and now it is approaching 25% and our company today has grown for the last 50% in the last five or six y
