Pattern with a lot of people who purchase homes in the city, violate the law, pay the penalties and still able to move forward with their projects, which sometimes, unfortunately, changes the character of a community. So im trying to understand how that continues to happen in these particular cases. Supervisor breed, the Planning Department shares those concerns. And thats why weve asked for legislation that will strengthen and enhance the administrative penalties, provisions of the planning cod...

Ceqa appeal had to be filed, which was filed on november 22. You would think when a ceqa appeal is filed, anything permitted would stop, but it wasnt the case here. Work continued on this site. And to me, its a pattern of bad behavior here. It wasnt until december 21. Yall recall what was going on over the holidays and certainly mr. The holidays after nearly two weeks of my office issuing a stop work order was issued. I find this shocking. The sponsor demolished chimneys without a permit, which ...

Up in previous appeals that have come before this board. Where projects have violated the law. Theyve been allowed to move forward and there are penalties associated with those violations and i think im trying to understand how its possible theres been numerous violations with this project and then issued a requirement to pay certain penalties, and maybe not by the Planning Department, but based on other challenges, and then were still moving this project forward and there are you know, this see...

I urge the board to be stronger, if you like, about what they do if people are in violation. This developer proceeds as if its a carpool violation and you afford it, pay it off, move on. That cannot be the case. We have to stop this from going on in our city. Thats all i want to say. I want to mention that our uphill neighbor couldnt be here as well. They sent their son, who is on an Aircraft Carrier in the sea of japan, but here in his offtime and he has a very big button, so i appreciate your ...

Waive it, but then theres no charity as to what it would do on contaminated soil. I dont need you to answer that at this time.

At this time, i will ask the project sponsor or representative to come forward. You have up to 10 minutes for presentation. Thank you, president breed. Members of the board. Im tom toney on behalf of the project s...

Ceqa determination. Unless this body finds that the Planning Department improperly i issued that exemption, it could would not be allowed to go on. Were hope to work with this body to develop legislation to remedy concerns. President breed and i think that im still not satisfied with the arguments of the waiver around the issues of contamination in the soil. Im not comfortable with the fact that you can and cant waive it, but then theres no charity as to what it would do on contaminated soil. I ...

President breed please speak directly at the microphone. I have lived in the neighborhood for 30 years. I will read an excerpt from a letter. I will read a section of the letter that they did send to the Planning Board. When we as a Neighborhood Group gathered to meet the architect and developer, we spoke in one voice and raised our specific request. Stay within the footprint of the original home. We went on to tell our own stories about how we did improvements to our own homes. As a group of ne...
