And their concerns and i encourage the public to be more substantive in their comments and ceqa is the third rail and people dont want to talk about reforming and there are issues with ceqa and they talked about specific things and i encourage us to have that debate as soon as possible so i would like to hear it on the 29th. Commissioner borden. Yeah. I think the issue here is the fact if the supervisor can move forth without the input and we want input by that time we need to stick with the 29 ...

Uncertainty about use of word, vagueness in order for that to disappear prior to this Group Hearing it on the 29th because i do not think this document is clear because of those things im observing.

In 2010 the public process has not been very good. Many of the people have been very concerned and pioneers of ceqa were not even noticed of these changes. The state legislature as you may have known was in august of this year there was a proposal at the last two weeks of the state legislative session to also frankly ram through ceqa legislation that was not vetted well. The state legislature decided to not take up the measure, but will be looking at ceqa as a much more holistic way in the comin...

I do have a couple. I heard one. I dont know if it was one of the appellants or counsel or representative. Someone represented a height of 4 feet instead of six. My client had a property rezoned in 2009. Their intent was to fulfill the intent of the plan. Which is the height of 58 feet and 6 stories. In response to the concern about the height, there were those set backs as on the top. So, in recognition of the surroundings, we have a nice model there. Is there anything even close to 6 stories a...

Percent, but i would say that, it seems to be and most of the work and you would imagine that the work is going to take place foundation, and sheer walls, and you know, the labor insensitive but i dont think that they are totally touching 100 percent of the building to do the work just the certain areas. But it is all wood framed. And the amount of work that is anticipated there is quite extensive and it is probably more Cost Effective for them to do this and to ignore the existing electrical an...

And we dont have anything further to add. I have a question. My understanding is that your issues are really more about the tenantcies than they are about the work that is being done, in that the how is the work going to impact their current tenant and their future and their right to return . In essence, yes, but there is a concern about the scope of the work because it seems to be a changing target, they have now added in the plumbing and electrical, yesterday, for the first time. Today, for th...

Time, but absent that date its quite possible that we might not have any input from planning before it goes to the board of supervisors for consideration, and i think having a hearing is more important than having none, so i would move that we continue items one, item number six to the dates slated for those. Actually number six is to the sixth and item number 11 to the 29th. I will second that motion but we will have more discussion. Okay. Commissioner moore. I am glad that we are considering c...

Of my neighborhood that is on the opposite side of this development, the hard fact is that we are going to be dwarfed by a giant shadow of this building at six stories and it is going to effect not only my personal heating, and energy costs, and supporting my family and my young son, but also, just casting an entire shadow on my backyard during a good part of the day. So, this project largely just puts my whole building in the dark. And for a considerable portion of the day, and i think that it ...
