But one of the means of egress if its a private deck can be the retractable hatch, and thats how the design was arrived at. The design was the entire ground unit has the rear yard, and the top unit has the exclusive use of the top deck. If we did make it accessible to all units, i did talk to the fire department, youd need both penthouses, and not a penthouse and a retractable hatch. I thought that was a combination of that. The middle unit, which is the smallest of the units, the way it was designed, has a nice size deck the way it was just talked about, and the bottom floor really has the exclusive use of the open level, and that theyre all realistic open spaces for everybody. The comment i would make is the space is generally, i like the design. I think its a good idea. I would like to have seen more communal use of the back yard and not have such a massive roof deck on top. Just to form, i think the transition from the smallscale residential that is still in this transitional area of geary boulevard makes it a very large building. Im concerned that. I would prefer a sixstory building or a building that does not add a roof deck of this size because youre tre trending towards luxury units. Vice president koppel commissioner richards . Commissioner richards im not a big fan of roof decks. Ive had friends that lived in top three full units from front to back, and they never used the roof deck. If you im open to reducing the overhaall height of the building as commissioner moor samoore said, but im just not open to the apartment sharing the yard. Vice president koppel commissioner fung . Commissioner fung im supportive of the unit as constituted. I think this area can support larger structures, the three units. The only suggestion is i probably am not going to suggest anything that deals with the separation between the adjacent neighbor and this building on a on windows that are parallel to the property line. However, a small suggestion would be that a sixfoothigh solid screen on that side of the deck so there is no visibility between the deck and his kitchen and bathroom. Commissioner hillis second. Vice president koppel commissioner richards . Commissioner richards can you make the screen translucent . Yeah. Ive been doing a ton of these, and we get the same comments. We call that opaque screen. You tell me, 6 or 7 feet high. Commissioner fung accept it as amended. I didnt know i made the motion. Vice president koppel well accept that. Clerk all right, commissioners, there is somewhat of a motion thats been amended to include a 6foot opaque screen for a privacy screen. Commissioner hillis that translucent or opaque . Commissioner richards opaque is fine. Rich, rich, rich. [roll call] clerk so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously, 50. Vice president koppel meeting adjourned.

Anchor brewing as a company survived tragedy with the owners, the 1906 earthquake and fire, prohibition, and changing tastes regarding beer in the 1950s and 60s. In 1965, fritz maytag took over the business and anchor began producing new, distinctive beers. Though the terms micro brewing and craft brewing had yet to be coined, they were leading a brewing revolution in San Francisco that would eventually spread across the country. After 45 years, he sold the business to keith and tony and in 2017, anchor Brewing Company was purchased by spaporo. On march 13 of this year, workers voted to unionize. With all legacy business applications, any news woreshy items from the path, present, and foreseeable feature are addressed in the application. We included an article from the San Francisco chronicle about the unionizing effort and a statement from anchor Brewing Company which reads as follows. Our employees vote and march 13 to unionize, marking a major milestone for our brewery. Our priority was to ensure that all our employees were given the opportunity to vote in a secret ballot election. We fully respect the results of the vote and are committed to negotiating in good faith with the newly formed union. We look forward to strengthening our collective future with all of our employees.
