SFGTV Government Access Programming July 14, 2024

I want to have the staff review this, particularly with the trust to see if this is a facility they could have approved. We have a staff member who used to work there. They reviewed it and said this would be something they would see as provable for what it is worth. It is an additional step that i wanted to at least get the answer to. They have their own guidelines, wireless telecommunication facilities or guidelines. That is what they use. I have a copy of that. One other question before we hammer on dpw. The corridor. This case reminds me when i first signed up a few years ago. I think there was a pole out in the sun set and there was a view corder requested. We denied it. It was looking rat golden gate park. Far less grand than this spectacular view which i have grown up with as a native of the city. I believe we also sited a view corridor. If this isnt in the view corder what is it . It is a good street. The issue and what it did have warrant additional review because of th of the historic resource. It was found to be in compliance. Looking at the application and plan. In your recollection of that action out in the sun set. If you remember it was even more screwy because they were careless enough to put Italian American flags and borrowed the signs they used in north beach to use in the sun set which was embarrassing to dpw. That is another conversation. Leavenworth, i believe, also. Those were view corridors as identified in the plan as being streets with view ratings. This street has no view rating. It is average street views. It doesnt have the higher rating of good or excellent which has additional street names. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item. We had a question for dpw prior to that. Sure. Again thank you. The question was understanding that is an address and if you are using that lot as the address, shouldnt dpw circle everybody because if you are using that whole thing as your address. The planning representative said it has to be the address adjacent to the pole. That is the address adjacent to the pole. In regards to notification. I do have overhead please. I got your fingerprints now. This is the mailing affidavit that is applicant submitted. It was mailed per public works code article 25. I get that. I am not trying to give you you a hard time. It is deceptive if you look at the whole address is the presidio or the whole park. We cant use an address across the street. That is not a correct address. I want across the street from this parcel. That is not correct. We cannot use that. Six months ago we had another pole and it was the same, two blocks up, because it was at the bottom of the hill. That is where the people was. It was the closest address which was hundreds of yards away. The people across the street were impacted by the installation, their rights were abused. They werent properly consulted. What really bothers me. Does anybody from dpw ever make a site visit for these installations . Did anybody make a site visit to this or did you just simply do the easy way, the passive practice of going to your laptop and siting it and relying on electronics . Do you not make a site visit to a neighborhood . It is was there a site visit . We take the address they give us. Thank you. I would disagree. If they are not required to go out and following a procedure you need to discuss with the department changing the procedure. Up to that point they have done when they are supposed to do. I see their point. I wont get into an argument on it. Anyone here for Public Comment. Since you are part of the party, you can come up at rebuttal time. Any Public Comment . We are moving to rebuttal. You have three minutes. I think we can agree everyone uses google maps and it is accurate. This shows the disvans. It is over two miles. Quite frankly as we emphasized the ordinance requires affirmative determination that each wireless location does not interfere with the local aesthetics. If verizon had made the site visit they would have seen that. You are rubber stamping this and making it routine. We are asking for individual consideration of the impact just as the ordinance has the clerk has affirmed local power to you to protect the aesthetics. The City Ordinance imposes a duty to protect the neighborhood. We just simply ask that you do. Thank you. I just want to continue to say that they have argued under i believe it is Government Code Section 65010b this doesnt matter because no one is injured due to error or deception. I des agree. If this is approved the very thing that makes San Francisco such a world class city of sweeping views and historical significance will be entered. That is one thing. I want to entasias the view corridor is from the iconic lion street steps looking down towards the bay. We walk the steps every day up and down as do thousands of tourists and tons of School Children and artists and photographers. You know this. The view will be impacted from many levels of the steps that people come to visit every single day and night to photograph and to see it. Thank you. You still have 50 seconds. In terms of the approval, the notice we received. We have the same notices from 25, 2735 green, all approvals are exactly the same no differ be language. You get my point. We will hear from mr. Al bright. Thank you. You all know we are amateurs. You have seen the map where we went 50 feet, 150 feet around the pole that is required under public orders dpw18504 says 150 feet from around the pole. That is exactly what we did. The notice itself says the amateuthe amamatury loop and thw exactly where its and lions street north and south. I look at the pictures. We have posted on the street three posts with big huge posters on them showing on either side of the site showing exactly where it is. One of our problems in the city. Poles dont have addresses. Poles have numbers. Many times somebody said they put that in front of my neighbors property. There is a decision what address is provided. We were instructed to use these for the parcel on the side of the street where the poll is located. It doesnt have a lions street address. We followed the code, the order. We did all of the notices required. We dont think there was any prejudice and we dont think there was any injury and we dont think it changed the result. This poll is not on the lions street. It is one to two blocks away from the steps. Where this is located you dont have that beautiful view that you saw in the photographs. The pole rises from 30. 6 feet to 32 feet with a little skinny 11inch diameter antenna. That is not impairing the view. I recognize the issue you are addressing. I think this little address issue is a little out of proportion. We do not do anything to try to obscure our applications. You can imagine the result we would get the we did that. We try to cross every t and dot every i. These projects go on for years. We hope you uphold approval. One question. You have children . Two. If you were to send them a text to say meet neat 428 and four texas later you sent the picture where it is at. Would your kids figure that out . If my daughter got a ticket in amatury loop and she was on the other side of the wall, i would rather it be in federal rather than local jurisdiction. I understand your point. My daughter knows where i am right now. It is not by some address. She takes an uber and it takes her to the wrong address. My only point is we follow the rules and the addresses that were provided to us. If we have to with hundreds of applications secondguess these. We go out of our way to make sure we provide the notices and affidavits are provided and posted and we appear at all of the hearings and respond. Thank you. Anything further . No. Okay. Mr. Sanchez. Just to reiterate and i think the board knows this. We review every project individually against the standards. There may be standards adopted throughout the years. It is for consistency these are all applied to the same standards. We do review these on an individual basis. There is no correlating address in our records for directly across the street from this. The closest is 2901 lion. It is a few blocks down. There is nothing here that would lead you to directly this location. Is the lions street steps an excellent view location . I dont have that information available. The blue angels are flying. Commissioners this is submi submitted. I am not supportive. I am not supportive on the grounds that, it is hard to determine fault. It is not the pla planning or attorney. If it is on page one or page 5, i believe it should be self explanatory where this poll is going to be. If the pole does not have a number maybe the city needs to figure that out, but to me, to be honest, turk went through. This is similar. I am not supportive of it. If there is a move to continue, how many votes do we need with with three commissioners to continue it. We can continue it now. There are three. We can vote and it doesnt pass. It is clear it is not going to pass. At this point you have had your discussion, we would need to vote to continue the matter. I recommend you do that when all commissioners are present. That would be september 18th. Would you like to move that . Someone needs a motion. I will make that motion. I have made like six tonight. It is my night. We have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. Is every one available at that time . I am. Okay. Please come up to the podium. I cant hear. We have five other parties and a schedule as well. You have seen how much time this takes up. We could potentially do september 11th commissioner tanner will be missing so we have four. For the 18th. That works. Thank you. You are the named appellant. If it works for you. Dpw, you will show up . We have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. On that motion. roll call . So that motion carries 30. We will see you september 18th. We will putt you meeting adjourned. My name is Angela Wilson and im an owner of the market i worked at a butcher for about 10 years and became a butcher you i was a restaurant cook started in sxos and went to uc; isnt that so and opened a cafe we have produce from small farms without small butcher shops hard for small farms to survive we have a been a butcher shop since 1901 in the heights floor and the case are about from 1955 and it is only been a butcher shot not a lot of businesses if San Francisco that have only been one thing.

Good morning, everybody. Is this working . What a Beautiful Day in San Francisco. You know, if you go to city hall, it is so packed. Everybody is celebrating 88. Were here and going to be celebrating this new project. I am the director of public works here at the city of San Francisco. I want to thank you all for coming out our chief and mayor for coming to celebrate this milestone. This facility will be a facility that will serve our First Responders and we are very excited about it. Just last week around the corner we celebrated the new deployment facility and that is a project that will be completed in 2021. That project also is going really well. Then today we are celebrating another Capital Infrastructure project here in the bayview. This job is not only about serving our First Responders, but will also give a lot of people from the community jobs. It will be able to give a lot of our contractors an opportunity to participate in bringing supplies. Of course make our city more resilient. Its also been one of several projects that the southeast sector of our city has been benefitting from. Just in the last two years or so we finished the medical examiners building, the two shops for large and small vehicles are right around the corner. Coming up soon is the new Southeast Community center. So a lot of good opportunities here, and its great that the partnership that we have with all the contractors and all the city departments, that were all working together to really improve San Francisco. As you all know, today is very, very special because its the Traffic Company and Forensic Services division that will be in this site. The building itself is going to be over 100,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet is huge. Its two storeys as you can see. More than three quarters of this lot will be a building with a twostorey building. Were invited about that. Inside the building will be many labs that would be used to help solve crimes. Also our Motorcycle Police department, they will have their vehicles here but well also have offices for them so that they can do their administrative duties, which is highly essential because now theyre spread all over the place. This building will change that. This building will also be a hightech building. Our crews have been working very hard. As you see this pile of dirt behind us, right after this ground breaking, next week well be levelling it out. All that dirt actually is going to be on site here. This area is a little bit of a low land, so were going to be increasing it by 2 or 3 feet high. So were keeping the dirt. Were recycling. As you know, our city leads the nation in recycling. Were following a lot of the building technologies. With that said, the team that has been working on this, i would like to say a huge thanks to clark construction, our architects, h. O. K. And m. I. I. Have been on this contract. Some of our subcontractors, i just want to say thank you because this new facility will make San Francisco much safer and put us into the 21st century building. Isnt that a great opportunity . [ applause ]. I can theres a lot i can say because im excited about this building because i personally have worked in this area for over 30 years. The Public Works Department yard is just up the street. So every day we see these changes. Were very excited. In the capital plan the mayor is putting money for us to look at more opportunities to do more projects here. With that said, i would like to call her to say a few words and thank her for our leadership. Our city is changing in the right direction. Lets call mayor breed and give her a big hand. Mayor breed. [ applause ]. Mayor breed thank you. Mohamed is really excited about this project, isnt he . Hes always excited about projects that move the city forward in the right direction. San francisco is in earthquake territory. And its not a matter of if but when the next big one will be prepared. So we have to be prepared. More importantly, we have to make sure that our Public Safety officials are in seismically safe facilities so that when theyre trying to help the citizens of San Francisco, they dont necessarily need help themselves. We know that the Traffic Division and the Forensic Services division are located in buildings that are not seismically safe. Especially with the Traffic Division and motorcycles and their need to get to people and help protect people throughout San Francisco, thats going to be critical. If we have a next earthquake and something happens, how are they going to get their motorcycles out . We have to start thinking about the future and ways to protect all of our citizens, especially making sure that our Public Safety officials from the police and the Fire Department and other departments can get out there on the streets and protect and save lives. This project, along with so many other amazing projects that weve done in this city, were headed in the right direction. The new Public Safety building that just opened in mission bay is absolutely incredible. The medical examiner building that just open not too
