Twostory rear horizonal addition to a twostory one im sorry. Groundhog day was my favourite movie. [ laughter ] bear with me. This is to secret a onestory vertical audition and horizonal addition to an existing 1372 square foot, two story, twofamily home at 2758 23r 2758 23rd strategy. 2758 23rd street. The dr requester, jennifer fe feeber, that the project will result in permanent displacement of both tenants of the off nut d the right most o removal of affe housing and this almost doubles the size and therefore diminishing the Affordable Housing stock. To date, the department has received no letters of support, nor letters of opposition and our planning staff review, however, the extent of the addition will nearly double the size of the units which will presumably enable increasing the amount of rent that can be charged to returning tenants or new occupants. , unless its reasonable to assume a decrease. Issues to existing tenants by the San Francisco rent board and not under the planning departments purview it is incumbent on the project sponsor to provide a plan for the tenants displacement and the extent will cause displacement is not known as no plan to house were otherwise accommodating has been provided to staff to data. Subsequent to the dr request, the project was recommended some cosmetic changes to the front of the building with the existing entry stoop and two doors be maintained and the brick base be lowered to a height that is quo lenequivalent to the sort of tht this was constructed as a part of. In addition, if you look at the stoop condition, it doesnt, to my mind, meet code in front door. So that it is a condition that would have to be reconciled before an approval because it would not tout b doubt be changa building not compliant with a building code, as far as i could see. This concludes my presentation. Staff recommends to approve with the modifications approved. Im happy to answer questions. Thank you and we will now hear from the dr requester. I think everything i need to say was in the original dr. Thank you, mr. Winslow, for taking it seriously and putting it into your recommendations. I have spoken to the new owner right after i filed and he seemed like a nice guy but clueless that tenants have rights in San Francisco. There was no plan for where they were supposed to go during construction and i asked what about when its done and can they move back in and hes, like, theyre not coming back. Thats not illegal. Thats an eviction and since then been he has tragically filed evictions on the tenants. So they are here. One of the tenants has been in the mission for 50 years and i would just want to let them speak for themselves and get out of the way. Thanks. Come on up. Im here for cal fox of the tertenderloin housing clinic. Im here for the tenants upstairs. Spoon they have been tenants f9 years and unlike the characterizizatiocharacterizatit seems like a nice guy, we had the opposite impression. They hathe showers were water w. This work being proposed would reconfigure the units, not just expand, so there is no effort to keep the tenants in. Whether or not theres been an implication of a notice of termination is not the point here. Were in the present. This is their longterm home. The work thats being done is purely elective and cosmetic and intended probably to quadruple the value of the property, not only by creating more size but by getting rid of the longterm tenants. This would eliminate the backyard which is part of the very, very limited open space. They have a dog that uses the backyard. There is very limited space in San Francisco and throughout the Mission District. Its so concrete and steel. This is one of the few places where they can go out and enjoy the sun and light and let me just ask. speaking Foreign Language . Im the daughter of a deceased person who meant so much to me. That is my father. Who is supposed to be the head of the household, right . And we hit rock bottom because were just getting hit left and right with these new oppositions about new improvements to the house. Yes, they are needed, but theyre asking us to be displaced permanently and where will we go . We havent discussed where to move. How were going to continue on while im still in school and employed. Im looking for someone to work. Its very hard. But it was just a matter of time when they say its time to go. So in a nutshell, they work will result in the displacement of people that are already in a crisis because of the premature deaths of the father, husband, and then its like that Carlos Santana letter, where it says come home and whats their letter saying, get out of here. So we ask you to please deny this permit application and not issue a permit thats going to unnecessarily get rid of longterm tenants. Thank you. So we will take a Public Comment in support of the dr requester. My name is steven booth with the tenderloin housing clinic. This is maria and shes lived in this property for 38 years and raised a family there and she continues to be a part of the very fabric of this neighborhood. Her doctor is three blocks away that she can walk to wherever she needs to. She shops on 24th street and knows the neighbors there and is virtually a part of the fabric of this community. This project makes no provision for her. Her story is quintessentially an american story. She umgreated from el salvador and in the Mission District for 50 years, got married in San Francisco, worked at the st. Francis hotel for about 40 areas. Shes supported this community and part of it for a long time. What youre asked to do is to authorize a permit which essentially allow for a dream of profit in the future by a real estate speculator and do we support that dream or do we support the American Dream which this is an example of the American Dream. She came here, worked hard, is has been here all her life and will be excluded from the mission. Also with her today is pedro rote, her son, who his formative years were spent in that home. The home is still the center of the she has three sons, an extended family, grandchildren and they come to visit her on holidays and this is really her pricplace and her community. I also want to say that the landlords attitude to her has not been friendly or kind. In the very beginning, they tried to trick her by saying, well pay you a paltry amount if you leave and then told her she had to leave in six months. Three times they shut off the water and she wasnt able to bathe, clean dishes and they will build a taj mahal. Any other public support in request oresponse to the dr req . Im greg smith, the architect for this project. The owner would like to add vertically up and down to each unit, creating from what is a tworoom, plus a culture, a twobedroom and the same footprint and not expanding up and down. So what the owner is trying to do is make family use fit units preferable over oneperform units and thats what were trying to do. Youll turn it over to the own owner. Im neil aton, im the owner and so my wife and i live a few blocks from the property with our young family. Were not looking to profit from this development but live in this development. Ed takeweve ended up with this confrontation with the tenant tenantsand the communication ive had has been clear that theres no real room for negotiation. What i heard back was the only way that they would not file a dr request is if the tenant were never disturbed. Bringing this up to standards is not possible. To respond to the character characterizations is evil landlords, turning off water, trying to trick elderly ladies into leaving their home is completely false and inaccurate. Water was turned off during repairs and there were issues getting it on. This happened over the weekend and we had to call the first available plumber to come on sunday morning. The other issues that miss miranda ref dens referenced aboe water being shut off, thats new to me. In terms of the issues mentioned by the downstairs tenants, any nobody communicates with me any issues. After we filed eviction notice, there was retaliation in terms of complaints of the Building Department which had been depth with or had been dealt with and as soon as we heard from them and so, unfortunately, weve ended up in this scenario and this is the only property that i own in anyplace. Weve lived in the mixe missionr five years and hopefully well live here for a long time to come and ill leave it at that. Thank you for your time. Do we have any Public Comment in support of the project sponsor . With that, you have a two minute rebuttal . You get two more minutes. Commissioner johnson. Where do i begin . This is not the first time weve heard a case like this, in which there are tenants who are in danger of being rent evicted out of a property. To all of the folks who cal camt and who had to go through the struggle of coming here and sharing your story, i say thank you. And you shouldnt have go through this. I think we as a commission have again and again and again stated that if a project comes to us, we are not comfortable with rent rent evictions and certainly a plan in place of how people will be moved and put back into the units is the bare minimum and then we have serious concerns and want to go through it with a fine tooth comb. So im a little disappointed that this is here. There is no way i could support this project at all. So i would take dr and not approve and would love to hear what other commissioners have to say. I second that motion. Commissioner moore . Mr. Winslow read into the description of this case and suddenly suggested indeed the applicant had not provided any kind of mediating suggestions of what to do with the tenants. The owner stands in front of us without acknowledging the problem is difficult and makes me feel very uncomfortable to hear this project. So the rules surrounding these particular cases in the city are very well published and wellknown and i am actually quite speechless. Speechless to hear an applicant coming forward with as many tenants in the building and kind of, really, at least im sorry to say that seeming oblivious to the problem hes creating. I have to say that because we are very fair and patient, week in, week out, year in and year out, to see these cases piling up and to sit here with no acknowledgement of the problem is, frankly, shocking to me. And just as commissioner johnson very skillfully summarized her feelings, i would second your thoughts. Commissioner richards. Miss fever, please, what estrucevictions have been filed . Im not sure. You should ask the attorney. Miss fox, do you know. Will you please speak into the microphone. They have filed notices of templtermination and we intend o challenge that when the notices expire. Ok, thank you. I mean, i echo my fellow commissioners. You already live in the mission and thats great. Youre a part of the community. You bought a building that had People Living in it who are also a part of the community. For you to continue to live in the mission, these other members of the community are going to be thrown out into the street. Thats heartless. If i could put a notice of special restriction that you could never expand your building on your building because of what youre doing, i would, but i cant. But ill remember this address and i hope that it gets dred again. I cant support a project like this. Theres a motion seconded to take dr and disapprove and i would recommend that you articulate findings for mr. Winslow to add to the dr action memo. And i hope that it gets dred for discretionary reviews, you dont. We sat through a presentation that took two years of staff work to come up with strategies on community stabilization, on preservation of housing, on all of the resources that the city is spending to make this happen and that surely can be a finding. So i am i think that prevention of homelessness, community stabilization, some stuff about map 2020, the preservation of housing, the tenants are folks who are older. Theyre also protected tenants under the rentcontrol law and there are things we could state as findings. Commissioner richards . Hardship due to loss of family members, extra stress of Young Persons still going to school and in the middle of loss of a father, you think that there are millions of arguments, particularly after we spend listeningy time, as you mentioned on the community stablization act today. If i could property you to also include one of the issues brought forth was the expansion doubling the size, automatically increases the affordability, inaffordability of this. Commissioners richards . So at my first confirmation hearing before the rules committee, i mentioned Hershey Chocolate company because they bought Joseph Schmidt with the intent of not wanting him to compete with them, so they bought the business and shut it down. You bought a business, which is is Housing Provider business, using the ellis fact and youre shutting it down for your own gain. When we started this hearing, i mentioned to some people, we have to go to the state and senator weiner and assemblyman chu and get them to do ellis act reform, there has to be a spectator tax on profit. This is what were looking at right now and thats my last two cents. Im flummoxed. Thank you for those findings to disapprove, role call . So moved, commissioners and that motion passed 50. Were now adjourned.

Members of the public may address the board for up to three months and 30 seconds remaining and prior to make your comments, state your name and the organization you are representing if any further record. Treasure island museum. Welcome director shiffrin. First of all, id like to invite you, particularly to the saturdays fleet weekend lecture in the big idea series. Its about panam and the clippers and their role in helping win world war ii and the pacific. I am really here peter can what im here for is to get you half as excited as i am about this project that ive been working on. You are probably familiar with the math head which was the naval station Treasure Island weekly newspaper from 1941 until the station closed in 1997. It recorded the life of the island in ways big and small from chances an dances and spors to redevelop the entire island and put housing. This is from 1966, from the mast head and that year also the death of admiral nimith. Week by week, they documented half a century of the life of naval station Treasure Island. So id like to introduce you to second class Carolyn Brown she worked on the staff of the mast head in 1944 and 1945 and when she stepped down, her colleagues gave her a couple of bound volumes of the the 17 month mast head she worked on. And the museum has they were given to the museum two years ago by her daughter. The museum has digitized those issues of the masthead and lets see if this works. And you can go online, members of the public can go online to our website and page through issues the masthead and follow the life of Treasure Island. Im working on putting a search function in this but its just an amazing record of the history of the island and you can go online and browse it at your leisure. The old museum had an almost complete file of mastheads and they are now in the National Archives down in san bruno and its a dream of mine to get the resources to have someone go down there with a scanner and scan the whole half century plus of mastheads and put it up on our website. Ive been through some of those issues and its an amazing, amazing resource. The things you find in there. At least we made a start on it . Thank you for that report. Please come up. Members of the board, my name is travis lund im the executive director of the
