the courtyard spans the column widths. that is the reason why it is the width is. to ask us to widen that is going to require another structural component that would add a tremendous amount of expense to the project. commissioner sugaya: i do not think we said you needed to expand the courtyard. >> great. that is all i need to know. we can move units around. we can combine columns bases to make different units. we can add a larger commercial space. there is quite a bit we can do. we can add a little bit to the passat, give you a better rendering. president olague: i think if the quality of life is not taken into consideration, my concern is that people would not use these as primary units. they might be reluctant to do so. if we want to encourage people to live and work here -- >> this is 25 feet wide. president olague: i am just talking light and air. >> that wall is open totally to the sky, one floor. there is quite a bit of open area. we can do some unit reconfiguration. i think we have some good direction now. >> thank you. i just wanted to respond on the quest

about 24 feet, 9 inches in width. a conforming city street is about 40 feet in width, so it is a little bit narrower, and emergency vehicles when likely not use this narrow street, because if there was another large vehicle coming in the opposite direction, you would not be able to get past one another. that is part of the conversation we will have with the community. president vietor: ok, great, so that will help to inform the situation going forward. if that happens, that will be great. any other questions or comments? thank you. yes, please. et can you come up? -- can you come up? yes, there was a letter that was a public record letter that was submitted from one of the neighbors, saying that they do not want it closed. it feels like a part of the neighborhood, so, hence, the community meeting to get more input from some of the leaders. >> next up, lake merced, and we went to report the status on that. as you know, we wanted to have an mou, and it is on the agenda today, and there is a report. >> the general manage

because of the narrow width of it. something of a bottle neck. not a huge people-mover. there was a gentleman who spoke earlier regarding the aquatic park restrooms which he knew at the old local high school. when i was swimming on the team at the old high school is when i did a lot of swimming in the aquatic park. the restrooms were a disaster then. that and those of you who took notes that i mentioned the nepa process, because that is a federal facility, a national maritime museum, that is where you should address your remarks. >> i don't want people to take my comment wrong. i think the commission is truly interested in the progress of the america's cup and will try to insert itself wherever we can and however we can. i think that if there are concerns among you and you may not be getting responses that you would like i think that you can certainly contact any one of us or the director. we are genuinely interested in working with the others. >> yeah. that is correct. >> thank you. one advantage we have here is the lead time to be able to prepare to do as much as we ca

it measures 19 feet 6 inches in width to its end point, where it measures 8 feet 3 inches tall to the retaining wall. this drops as the yard steps down. this shows the front of my home and the orange building notice in the window. this shows 655 is already set back. these show my home is located at the top of a hill between two slopes. we do not agree with adding a property line window as seen on this plan. we would like the penthouse level to be pushed forward toward the front of the building, since it is already set back, so it does not add more visible bulk to the 30 foot wall and maintains privacy and light, as seen on planned 8.5 -- as seen here. i am very concerned about the negative impact that would result from such a massive project. the book tower over my building. it will also impact my neighbors. i would have thought that a project this massive would have required the architect to meet with the adjacent neighbors to properly notify all of the neighbors that would have been impacted prior to the building department issuing the permit, but this is not the case. >> i hope tha

were looking at the distance between the octagonal dead and over here, we are a little behalf of the width of the building, and the building is 91.7 feet, so there really is not an opportunity to be as wrong as was suggested. was that a helpful description? there is a scale here, as well. the scale shows that it is on the order of 56 feet, and that was confirmed by an actual tape measure from the deck. >> i just wanted to give a legal answer to what happens if the levels are exceeded. they are shut down. it is a really big deal. thank you. president chiu: supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i do not know the technology of the antennas. are they moveable after they are installed, or are they never changed from that direction? >> the are fixed in that one direction at the time they are installed. somebody could loosen them and rearrange them and do something, but that is partly why at&t crank's them down so tight. the are fixed in one direction, the antenna, the intended direction, and that would apply to all of the antennas. supervisor mar: it was mentioned that there are two other antennas on

we have lived it, and when we get the width of it in our nostrils in america today that's a very worrying time. we have an advantage. where the canaries in the coal mine. we know what that smell means. let me quote another foreigner who spends part of the year in massachusetts. last year while ferguson, oxford and harvard, joined such eminent thinkers at the aspen ideas festival as barbra streisand and james brolin to, and professor ferguson told barbra streisand, quote, having grown up in a declining empire i do not recommend it. it's just not a lot of fun actually, unquote. and he's right. it's not. it really is a. you don't want to go there. and we are well on the way there. one hell of a fall. we are not like read or portugal or iceland. this deal is entirely different. no one uses the keyword, trillion in lisbon or dublin. that word is unique to washington. when a multi-trillion dollar catastrophe slides off the cliff it lands with a much bigger threat than iceland or portugal did. one of the saddest aspects of the presence debate is the assumption that american decline will be as co

we know the band width is available. the question is only how you go about distributing it. do you distribute it directly to first responders or distribute it to a telecommunications company and require them to make it available. this is crazy. there's no excuse for us not to have solved this problem ten years earlier because as governor caine points out in an emergency people will die. we just had the earthquake in washington and i can tell you my cell phone didn't work. i can't imagine what the first responders were going through. >> who is responsible, those in the communications business, the government? who is in charge of making sure that actually happens? >> there is a bill in congress right now, the obama administration said they support that bill which gives the band width directly to emergency responders. congress has the ability to solve this issue. they also have the ability to solve another one of these, the reorganization of congress to streamline their oversight and they haven't done that either. >> fwla what is the biggest thro us, fran, going into the annive

firemen, emergency rescue workers during an emergency cannot talk to one another because the broadband width been approved. it is ten years after. i was told by governor kaine, former the governor kaine that people died in katrina because we haven't the broad bandwidth they could talk to each other on, that the policemen saw the twin towers waivering, they thought it was unstable but they couldn't tell the firemen to get out because they are not on the same wave. i think most people would find it inexcusable. >> those are realities that you have just described. the truth is, the ability of first responders to talk to each other is better than ten years ago. we have spent millions making that possible. and we want to give them the so-called d-block spectrum, so they can have the same ability to transmit, video, maps, etc. that most teenagers have on their cell phones. and until we do, we will not have learned a lesson. but i do want to say, hats off on tom kaine who headed the 9/11 commission. congress adapted most of what they recommended. creation of the department of homeland security. we'

we've got the money in politics problem, and we've tightened the width of the pipe so that i only have a smaller dimension to cut off to -- with the green curtain, to steal my own phrase. look at 41 million in the can here, jonathan. >> well, hearing what you say, it seems as though the super committee is caught in a vice. on the one side you have the moneyed interests who see that they have this small crew of people who they can influence and work their will. on the other side though, and i know you're concerned about the secrecy involved with the super committee, we've seen time and time again when these groups like this, when things leak out. >> not even the secrecy, i see the risk of that. what concerns me is i lack confidence that there are ideas in that room that are outside of the talking points of republican/democrat 1990s. >> sure, sure. >> and we need new ideas here. >> what i'm saying is the super committee could be caught in this vice where they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. >> got to get the money out. >> i would look at it slightly different. there's two

that's the width of israel. our first concern must be our security.essions we make will relate directly to the life of every israeli. the palestinianses not making concessions. the palestinians are giving us peace. they are not just giving it to us, they are giving it to themselves. it will be good for them, for us. for us to agree we must know that we can live in peace and security in a very small country in a very volatile region, which is undergoing great earthquakes and aftershocks. especially in view in what we are seeing in what is called the arab spring, turned into a hot winter and could turn out to be the winter of our discontent. israel must be careful. but it is willing to take the risk for real peace. we need a partner who is which willing to do the same. >> jamie: ambassador gillerman great to get your thoughts. perhaps peace will come now finally. >> inshallah, thank you very much. >> jamie: thank you. >> later this hour, the palestinian point of view. we'll speak to the chief representative of the general delegation of the. >> lake okee
