commissioner fong? commissioner fong: i would like to not move this item and hear it. it is another landmark location of high-visibility. i think the project has lingered after the flood. i am curious to hear what everyone else has to say. commissioner antonini: i just had a question on the noticing. it seems a we are getting this late. the project sponsor told you that he may not -- the dr requester -- >> he indicated to me prior to the release that he may not be able to be present at this hearing. >> and you probably told him you needed an answer soon. >> i asked him about the probability of it. he was very much up in the air. he did not know if he would be back on monday or friday. this was when he was traveling in europe. he left town yesterday, out of state. commissioner antonini: we will see what the other commissioners have to say. commissioner olague: commissioner morore. commissioner moore: just as a matter of fair play, to continue, could you object if you tell us that communications, if applicant communication has been erratic or date? is there any animosity

fong, inspector fong regarding a couple matters over here but he's not here. do i have to reset a date or i don't know what -- how to do this. i want to go ahead and face my accuser in something so horrendous as this, to me it is. we do nothing but support the neighborhoods. we always donate to the schools, we take care of the kids, we do our best to run a clean operation, as you would know, i don't know if you're aware of silver and san bruno, it's not an easy area and we do the best and have had great luck there and we try to uphold the law. i have a lot of friends in the police force and there's no way i'm going to embarrass myself or my business in doing this type of action in this place of business. so if there's anything lower or a fine but taking away that license for that long is really unwarranted in this case. so if you can reconsider anything that would be great. and i would like to speak to inspector fong. i don't know how you want to -- thank you. >> i have a question. is there a school near you? >> absolutely. quite a few. there's thurgood marsha

president olague: commissioner fong. commissioner fong: thank you. i am not in favor of continuing the item. i don't feel we're put in a position to deny a business and give someone a fair shot. unless i misunderstood or didn't hear. i didn't hear that there was any problems or danger with the existing similar like businesses in the area to warrant not adding another one. as far as street traffic and pedestrian flow, this type of business along with the nail is a loan is not an impulse, -- is not a salon is not an impulse, it's really a destination you have in mind that today i'm going to do this or whatever. so i think that the pedestrian traffic has no relevance to the type of business. other businesses, yes, it requires a pedestrian traffic. so again, i'm not in favor -- i would have been supportive of approving the project as is. president olague: commissioner miguel. vice president miguel: i'm not in favor of a continuance, either. when in business myself prior to my retirement, there were throughout california at least a dozen businesses in the

commissioner fong. commissioner fong: of want to thank everybody for coming out. this is an informational item. there is no vote today. my family has been a longtime supporter and follower of the hospital on this project. one thing that was not mentioned, the hospital for the community represents security and safety. from an informational point of view, chinese hospital really is that for chinatown. i want to emphasize the security of the hospital. god forbid something happened in chinatown. they are going to go towards the hospital. i had the ability to take a tour of the hospital not so long ago. it is amazing how much activity happens in such a confined area. one last thing a wanted to point out and i am sure it runs thick throughout many communities, but the longevity and commitment of doctors in the medical buildings is huge. people come back to work and serve and protect their community in chinatown. it is not just patients, it is not just the staff, they are giving to the staff and the lyal oyal doctors. i am supportive of this. i hope that by other commiss

commissioner fong was there. that went really well. i had a conversation with assemblymember kathleen from merced. she wrote the legislation on high-speed rail. the director's name came up several times as the head of the cooperative work the city has been pursuing for some time, the problems of 16th street, getting through, underground, not underground. to me, it somewhat resembles the problem san francisco has had from time to time with caltrans, whose objective is to move as much traffic as fast as possible, sometimes regardless of the impact of the municipalities they go through. san francisco has, in recent years, a good record with caltrans. they have worked with the city to lessen the impact. hopefully, high-speed rail, they will be able to do so also. the friends of city planning, there was also last night. if i am not mistaken, the website, the ability to search the web site came from some of their grants. >> commissioner antonini? >> i read i was not able to attend the housing collection action forum. i understand it was very

president olague: commissioner fong. commissioner fong: thank you. within our discussions they are as complex as the project itself. curious of the 10 complaints filed were they from 10 different filers or the same filer or a majority from one and are they related to the d.r. requester? >> i'm not aware of who actually filed the complaints. commissioner fong: thank you. so, i kind of agree with mrs. hester's point about outlaws. we don't want to encourage them and don't want to reward them for their activity. but we also don't want to encourage penalizing people and stopping projects at the expense of the neighborhood and people who happen to see this special si site. i was initially in support of not taking d.r. and moving forward. it seems like i don't know if there is enough interest in t t that. the motion on the floor to continue seems to be somewhat of a middle ground. but i think the message sent to the project sponsor is that these mistakes are costly in time and money. here we are spending more time and money. i would be willing to support t

fong can testify to this. when we had the city attorney come through with the task force, the fire department was there. it was the vermin -- what do they call it -- the woman with the -- you know, for the cockroaches and the rats -- what's that -- the city attorney was there, the fire department was there, alex fong was there, i was there. there was eight or 10 of us going through. the fire department did nothing. there are fire extinguishers in there. commissioner hechanova: isn't there a requirement to have on an annual basis to get the fire extinguishers checked? >> according to my information, the only compliance on -- and i'm not sure on commercial -- but on residential on three units and up the city is supposed to come through every three to five years and check that. unfortunately with cuts they don't do that anymore. in commercial i have no knowledge that they have to come through and make you comply with fire extinguishers, no. that's my understanding. >> this is not in our two occupancy. commissione

commissioner fong: thank you. and i might have been a little bit slow in seconding commissioner miguel's motion but sometimes we want to hear what we're all thinking and get to some sort of compromise before jumping to a motion. but a couple of thoughts. i want to see this family build their dream. this is clearly a family house and with so many people leaving san francisco and families leaving san francisco i think it's important that we have places to gather for thanksgiving and christmas or whatever holiday you might celebrate. to the neighbor at 313, i think probably there was always the potential of the northern side windows being blocked. there was also a potential when you assume the property that someone might have built up a location there that might have blocked some of that window. they're phenomenal views, i did see the article in the paper and was impressed by the architecture and design. lowering the home as suggested by the neighbor i think is difficult because of the tree. i think it makes your hom

and commissioner fong attended a brown bag lunch that was very well attended, and it is interesting, the results. in the conversation, the idea of manufacturing came up, according to the census at least -- a high percentage of those jobs from here in the city. at the same time, i think there is an effort to retain those jobs and that type of business here in the city. so, this is a non-profit called sf made, and at the end of the month, they are going to be touring some of these local factories and that sort of thing, breweries, people who make garments and this kind of thing. that is the name of the group of people are interested. i think the june to july, we will be having a talk on local manufacturing. it is not something we should rule out on the talk about job creation and some of the other types of industry coming in. it seems to me there is still a lot of vibrancy and potential in manufacturing. commissioner borden? commissioner borden: your comments reminded me that in the paper it said the district that would experience the most growth would be too, forced, 6, 7, and 11. the

commissioner fong: just a couple of observations. i think it is important that 7 it is has seismic cost battles. i want to thank or knowledge of the architect presentation that i thought was very nice. i know that we should not be lured by pretty pictures, but whether that is the location, i also want to and dollars the community concern. i understand all of them from jobs and traffic concerns to the doctor that mentioned psychiatric funding. we feel that every day. folks on the street and i am sure need more medical attention than they are able to get. but what kind of draw questions in my mind about the traffic flow, how many rooms and maybe some conflicting information. how many beds, what the ratio of service folks and hotel workers are two guests and how that relates to patients. when trying to draw a conclusion, when it was running at full capacity, it was somewhat comparable to what this might be. i think the architects have done a very good job of getting the vehicles off the streets. and really trying to get that loading and
