yee, we have met with mr. yee, he proposed a few alternate locations, one was at a bus stop, one was near a gas main and one was on top of a hydro main, none were acceptable under the dpw guideline, if the commissioners have any question, i'd be happy to answer any. >> the alternative locations you just mentioned were presented by the appellant, is that not correct? >> correct. >> and did your client, at&t also present alternative locations? >> yes, absolutely. so, when we originally cutting the -- so, this cabinet has to be within 300 feet of the location, and -- >> 300 feet of what? >> of an existing equipment that at&t already has in the right-of-way, so we went out and survey and had looked for alternate location, we're required to seek a private property location, we reached out to private property owners to see if we could do that, we looked at the existing right of way, we proposed the location, we did a site walk trying to find the best location for the community in that area, came up with this locatio

yee is a s owr and one of the owners of the affected properties. he is a well known community leader, a member of the sunset outer merchant's association and has served on the san francisco redevelopment agency in the city and county for 13 years. there are two issue that is are raised in the appeal, one is one of notice and one is one of -- as to the merits of the matter on the placement of this surface mounted facility or smf and one is tempted to think of the notice issue as simply procedural, but we would urge that it is more than procedural, it is substantive because the appellant as we will find out throughout today, that many others in the affected community did not receive the notice that is required by both the surface mounted facilities order and at&t's memorandum of understanding for which it is bound. this notification requirement is in fact substantive because at&t was granted the ability to expand its telecommunications network on these assurances that it would comply with certain notice requirements, and having made those assurances,

my name is dennis yee. (speaking through interpreter). >> so, you know, usually i have coffee at the corner of irving and the 22nd a lot and i have difficulties in walking and my legs hurt and every time i try to open the door, even to the coffee shop, it's very difficult. if there's anything that, you know, like at&t wish to put a big box in, they could move to other places, not on this corner. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please.

thank you very much. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you. first of all, i want to thank supervisor wiener and farrell for even making an attempt to address this issue. today i'm going to be introducing amendments to basically mold our visions of the t it ic condo conversion further. when i first started looking into this issue of tic condo conversion, it was clear to me that any compromise needed to focus on two basic aspects. one, i wanted to address -- i wanted to address the issues that current tic owners face today. number two, i wanted to address the risk of speculation that might ensue with a large number of tic being allowed to convert to condo and what effect that could have on our affordable housing stock. i believe these amendments strike the right balance. they allow current tic owners, whether they had applied to the lottery or not, to convert through an expedited process that will allow those who are in a difficult situation to convert the tic and hopefully be able to refinance. at the same time, i believe that this proposal pro

yee, mr. benny yee for over 20 years. he is a very responsible landlord. once when i received a notice from -- about the smf and last year on april 19th, i gave the notice to mr. yee and then he did not receive anything before that, so he -- he's hoping to go to the hearing against having the smf there, but obviously he did not get any notice about the hearing. i was very surprised too when in february when i received that humongous -- saw that humongous thing pop up on the street and i was outraged and went to his office and everybody is talking about how those things are blocking people's ways to get in and out of cars. i have a picture, you have a better view of this. >> turn it over so that it's facing you. could you turn it so that you're looking at it. perfect. >> so, do you see that thing? the smf? it's blocking people, how people cannot get in and out of their car, and then do you see that big truck parking there, the post office truck is always in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, it's parking there to unload their stuff and this is -

supervisor yee we commend you for the first order of business and address traffic safety issues in the district and we ask you to complete the project and as a result we were told that they are considering the different proposals. we appreciate your leadership. it's important to the community thank you for your time today. >> thank you. >> hello i am marcos wong and i live one block away from an uncontrolled intersection at o shan see and malty drive. malta drive and a major route to 280 and many people have to cross there to reach a bus stop for the 44 line. it's dangerous for three main reasons. one, it's a poorly marked intersection. most drivers are navigating the turns and don't notice the pedestrian warning signs either heading up or down the hill. many drivers also do not see signs because that intersection is poorly lit and sometimes they can't see the pedestrian warning signs. the main problem with that street is that traffic on that street travels at excessive speed from portola to glen park. there is a 1 mile stretch and no stop sign and windy road downhill. cars don't yield

and thank you, president chiu, for your comments, for your amendments as well as supervisor yee. we have had discussions over a while about these and president chiu, i appreciate your comments. i think at this point in time i would feel comfortable amending them into my legislation. and i think in the spirit of good faith moving forward, again, i do think we're within striking distance of achieving common ground and which is what we sought to do from the get go. and meeting objectives of both tic owners and tenants advocates, again, some find it hard to believe we are going to get there, but i think we are very, very close so i would be open to having an amendment to the legislation and carry the item going forward. >> supervisor kim. >> i will reserve my thoughts for after public comment, just recognizing that some folks have been waiting here a long time. but i will also be introducing one amendment as well and i will pass out copies in advance. but it's really out of concern for the precedent of [speaker not understood] hawkins act in terms of how it will impact this legislati

and again, thanks for all your work, supervisors chiu, kim and yee who is no longer here. thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi. i'd like to first of all just say that tenants are in need at this time. and i just really feel like tic owners knew what they were getting into when they purchased properties. and if they felt like they needed to have real estate financing down the line, that maybe they should have bought more modest investments. and that's just the way i feel. i'm sorry if i'm unsympathetic. i'm also worried about how this ordinance could be subject to abuse by developers. and i think that the amendments that i heard today from supervisors chiu and kim were really encouraging, the part that capped the maximum of four-unit buildings to be eligible. and i'm also afraid because i know that, you know, there can be straw man tactics and i was shocked to hear from some of the other commentators about different types of tactics that are used, you know, with the declarations and all that. just very shocking. yeah, i'm also concerned just about the general depletio

supervisor yee. >> can we just vote on the amendment first? >> okay. let's use this as an amendment to supervisor wiener's amendment to strike condition nine on the electronic surveillance. is that your motion? >> yeah condition to strike nine. >> district city attorney again. condition nine is listed in one of the whereas clauses and listing the police department recommendations so i believe we amend this resolution just as we did with the last item to change the resolved clause to provide that that the board supports all of the police department conditions except condition number nine. >> so that the motion to amend then. can i mr. chairman just ask -- [inaudible] i have a question for you. regarding video surveillance. if it were not required for the license but if the police station and sprofer supervisor cohen asked you to do that can you do that. >> you put something into the microphone. it's not nice to have take liberties of people sometimes going in and out. i will have the best security you can ever imagine. never, never, ever the police was

i would like to acknowledge supervisor norman yee. >> supervisor yee: generally i don't want to butt into people's resolutions but laura is a special i had to say something. the dictates of contributions that she has made to our community is second to none. i know that most of the leaders in our chinese-american community consider her a giant. i want to say that and thank you very much for recognizing her. apl (applause)>> president chiu: and i had to do some of the interns here today, laura's children. she has hundreds of them, back there. thank you very much. apl (applause) >> thank you. good to see all of you here and thank you for those who remember that when we drink water, remember the source. without the presentations for the afternoon are completed. i understand that we have to go back to item 15, already called. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i like to take a motion to rescind the vote so we can rehear the item. my apologies to not keep up my apologies to not keep up with the 130285 [public works code - waiver of temporary street agenda. >> this allows is the establishme

supervisor yee. >> so i have a question here. if you do have this 25 feet buffer zone. >> would the protestors take a different strategy and stand 25 feet away from a just outside of the buffer zone on the sidewalk in which someone has to walk through to get to that buffer zone. and so the way that the buffer zone would work is that it would be marked and there would be an actual line that would be painted on the side by dcw and they would know that they have to stay outside of that buffer zone. >> right. >> so, i am being a little cautious with this. if you put a line there and there is only a sidewalk where you have to go through, to get to that line. what prevents the protester from standing outside of the line and actually causing a the same issues. why you are on the bath way from your car to the sidewalk to that line. okay if i am understanding your question that you are asking, once if we were to put this line in place and now the protestors are standing on their designated side of the line would this be presenting an opti

now i want to give supervisor yee an opportunity to make a few remarks. >> sure. >> supervisor? >> thank you. >> supervisor campos. i want to thank the public for coming here today and expressing their opinion in a civil way. and you know what? i am really proud to be one of the nine supervisors that is going to be co-sponsoring this legislation. and i am also very proud supervisor campos for your leadership on this issue. and this, i have had the privilege years ago, years ago, to actually be working at the north beach family planning clinic for several years. so and i know first hand the importance of for people to receive reproductive health services. about harassment and it was hard enough for many of the young people coming to our or my particular clinic. and feeling comfortable. and so, for me, this is a real good balance of the issues that we are addressing today. which is, the right of women to have access, and the right of people to express their opinions. so, i am glad, i am able to co-sponsor today and strongly support this. and again, thank you for your leadership. >

colleagues, do we have any questions and supervisor yee? >> i just wanted to thank mr. ferdon for being here and i do appreciate wanting... and i also am very happy that you reached out to the community and have reached the neighborhood support for this investment for this committee to know that, and i understand that the supervisor in your district has already met with you. yeah. so that is a good thing, i would like to see this move forward. >> thank you, supervisor yee and i do want to echo those comments, and one of the things that we make it clear any time that someone wants to apply for a liquor license is to make sure that when they come to this committee that they have done the out reach to the community, that there is community support and that they

thank you supervisor yee. i really appreciate you spear heading this. >> john winston from the friends of monterey boulevard. thank you for convening this boulevard. it has four lanes and it's 30 miles per hour and bus lanes and residential filled with the elderly and disabled and primarily renters opposed to homeowners and don't know each other and they need a voice. they live in multi-unit buildings. there are three schools in the area as well as several preschools. sunny side play ground as you heard is two blocks away and monterey is home to the little known conservatory so it's a neighborhood you go to and not through and it's a way to the shopping district and bart. we live here and it's the title of the study that we did on traffic intersections with pedestrians and we identified several dangers. there were 13 reported injury collisions. in our study residents and parents of school age kids complain of the usual thins. stop sign running. little enforcement by police and failure to yield to pedestrians a
