I wasnt sure of the answer, but did commissioner folley get recused for all of the mills act . Clerk they were taking up oh, ill have to look into that. Okay. Okay.

Clerk actually, the correction for calling the meeting to order would be Vice President matsuda because it was a joint hearing. Oh, okay. Any other comments . Yes. This pertains only to the minutes of the joint meeting. It did seem to me that the minutes as worded are more like an announcement, what is going to happen, rather than a recitation of what did happen.

Clerk that motion passes unanimously 70, placing us under your regular calendar for item 13 case 20190041140 coa at 2066 pine street. This is a certificate of aappropriateness. Good afternoon, commissioners. Shannon Ferguson Department staff. The item before you is a request for certificate of appropriateness for the property at 2066 pine street, located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property was individually designated as landmark 211 under article 10 of the planning code in 1999. The house served as the walker home, a boarding house for women from 1921 to 1972. It was named to honor madamec. J. Walker, one of americas first black women millionaire. This residence was built between 1876 and 1878 by a local carpenter. According to the land designation report, the property was clad in stucco in the 1940s and later the stucco was remo d removed. The proposed project involves a onestorey horizontal addition on the east elevation with a roof deck above the addition. An existing fence will be removed on the east side of the property to make way for the addition. An existing of the existing wall will be removed at the first storey. At the second floor, the existing doubleheight wood sash window and a portion of the wall under the window will be removed for a new wood and glass door, surmounted by an arts transient window. The deck will have a wood railing and a fire wall at the east elevation clad and horizontal wood siding. The new addition will be clad in horizontal wood siding that is half as big as the existing wood siding. At the rear of the addition new windows will be infilled and hung with wood sashed windows. Due to the projecting bay of the east elevation, the addition will be minerally visible from the street and clad and compatible, yet differentiated wood siding. New windows will not be visible from the street and will be compatible with the materials and profile with the existing fenestration. The proposed result will have a modest removal of fabric, but maintains the historic character of the building. The proposed work is outlined in your case report and is in compliance with article 10 and secretary of the interior standards. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval. This concludes my presentation. Im happy to answer any question and the architect is also here if you have any questions. Shannon, i do have one question. So the motion the recommendation is approval, and that is what it says in the motion. So i dont think we need to make any changes. But in the actual text of the staff report, it says approval with conditions. I will modify that. Thank you. Anything else . Okay. Any member of the public wish to comment on this agenda item . Seeing none, well close Public Comment. Questions . Comments . Motion. [ indiscernible ] second. Clerk thank you, commissioners. That motion to approve this matter. [roll call vote]. Clerk so moved, commissioners. That motion passes unanimously 70. Placing us on items 14a. Through e. For 2019020087 lbr, 2019020093 lbr, 2019020094 lbr, 2019020095 lbr and 2019020098 lbr. Hello, im from the preservation staff. So we have five legacy Business Applications to review today. Im going to give very brief descriptions of each with the characteristics that we are recommending for safeguarding. If any of the Business Owners are here, i invite them to speak during Public Comment. The first is the academy of ballet. The academy of ballet was established in 1953 by edward sasoon and has operated continuously at the same location. The academy is a Ballet School offering training for students and adults and others who are studying ballet for its many benefits. The subject property is local landmark number 277. The features that we are recommending for safeguarding are the ballet training for all ages and skill levels, the professional program, the high ceilings, many windows, and exposed trusses that define the interior, and the original paintings made for the academy located in the lobby. The next applicant is li po lounge. It was established as the first bar in chinatown. The original owners of the war were willbert wong and jack chow. Wilbert wong initiated the idea for a celebration of Chinese New Year and organized the First Chinese festival and parade. Staff is recommending the following features for safeguarding, the neon lantern slide, the cavernous stone entrance, the buddha statue and the chinese mai thai. The next one is the lyra corporation. This legacy business supporting the bookmaking tradition. There are two companies under there facility. The corporation is owned by and works in conjunction with the nonprofit grab horn institute, which supports the only paid Apprenticeship Program in typecasting and book binding in the country and houses one of the worlds most extensive collections of metal type faces and ornamental cuts. Staff is recommending the following feature the better press functions, the paid Apprenticeship Program and the collection of metal type faces and ornamental cuts. The next is rebuilding together San Francisco. The business is a local nonprofit dedicated to promoting safe and healthy housing and Community Spaces for all. The Organization Provides home repair and renovation programs were homeowners and others. The business is located in a historic resource, pier 28. We are recommending the following features for safeguarding.

And the last applicant is zazie restaurant. The restaurant opened in april 1992. It specializes in americanstyle brunches. The restaurant quickly became prarp becoming locals favourite for brunch and dinner serving meals seven days a week. Jennifer pinnet joined the restaurant in 2000 and purchased the restaurant in 2005 when she took over ownership. She took over with a unique mindset determined to make staff part of the family of the restaurant and the community. With that she established 401k and 4 employer match and fully funded health and dental benefits for all employees and paid parental sick leave. Staff is recommending the following features to be safeguarded, the original brick wall, the 1940 tss skylights, the interior mural. That concludes my presentation unless you have questions. Any questions okay. Why dont we open up for Public Comment. I dont know if we have any speaker cards. Just feel free to come up one at a time. Youll have three minutes. Youll hear a buzzen about 30 seconds before the end of the three minutes. Im the director of the academy of ballet in San Francisco. I feel very honored to be in this room. I came to the United States from israel in 1983 as a ballet student, and i took classes at the academy of ballet. I still remember the awe of going into that building. Little did i know that all those years later it will be my school. Yesterday i had tea with janet sasoon who was the daughter of edward sasoon who started the academy. She danced in the first nutcrack nutcrack nutcracker. I promised her that i would be here and not try to underestimate the legacy of what her father and she did. We went through the history of San Francisco, including mentions in tales of the city, and best tales of the new york times. I would love this place to stay as a San Francisco institution. Its very hard to see a legacy business in this neighborhood. We saw every business around close. Next year was the bible church. Now its going to become another condo building. Theyre blocking our exit. Im going to have to find funds just in order for us to build an exit for us to exist. We offer San Francisco lectures to show kids what ballet is about. We Fund Scholarships for students who cannot afford training and we boast 180 adult students in a very unique curriculumbased program that doesnt exist anywhere else. I humbly would request that you would consider the academy of ballet to become a legacy business. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Good afternoon, my name is karen memsick. I am the executive director of rebuilding together San Francisco. Asking the committee to consider us as a legacy business. Rebuilding together San Francisco originally in april has been repairing homes and Community Spaces in San Francisco for 30 years, and weve been tenants of pier 28 since 1991. So i think safe to say the longeststanding tenant in pier 28. Our work is focused on helping our longtime neighborhoods, older adults, People Living with disabilities and families live safely in their own homes. We know that theres a housing crisis and has been for many years. Right now were seeing rapid gentrification. Were seeing longtime families losing the family home. Thats what were focused on is helping our neighbors stay in their home for as long as they can and providing deferred maintenance so they can pass that on to their children and grandchildren, ensuring Affordable Housing for generations to come. Now our christmas in april and we are committed to preserving our committees and being a Good Neighbor in San Francisco. So thank you very much. Thank you. Next. Hello. My name is kelsie and i work at rebuilding together San Francisco. I was doing a little bit of research on the neighbors that we have the opportunity to work with. The overj neighbor we work with is 74. 5 years old, has lived in their home for 30 years and has an annual Household Income of 13,330. 72. These are neighbors who cannot cover or trying to cover the cost of living and cannot afford to look at the different maintenance in their home, the safety modifications that are needed, the critical repairs that are required. I was thinking about what it means to be a legacy business or organization in San Francisco. I came across a letter from one of our neighbors who mentioned the word legacy. This neighbor, her name is charlene, we worked on her home in the last year. She lives in bayview. Shes lived there for 58 years. She lives there with her sister, her father built that home. When he passed away, she was given the home and she has this incredible economic asset that cant afford to keep it in the home. Property taxes are low. Thats where we come in, to keep people in their neighborhood, a family thats been in that neighborhood. Shes been there for 58 years. So she shared with us what a joy you have brought to our home and family. I could never thank you enough for all of your expertise and selfless hours you have so willingly given that our strong legacy continues to live and thrive here in the house that my dad, louis armstrong, put his sweat and life to. I hope the universe returns to you 300 times what you have given out. So when i think of legacy, i think of preserving the legacy of families, the legacy of people being able to be in their neighborhoods and being brought to be in their neighborhoods. I believe thats exactly what we do. Thank you. Thank you. Next. Good afternoon, commissioners. Thanks. My name is paul gray. Ive been a volunteer at rebuilding together for more than ten years. I was a carpenter for more than 20 in my life. A lot of the skills and volunteers that work with rebuilding together in the trades, theyre local citizens here. I wanted to just give a quick perspective from my side. Ive done more than 20 Major Projects with them, probably dozens and dozens smaller projects. Ive never left a home we didnt improve the safety, comfort level, and health of the occupant. Its great the turnaround we can do in a single day or multiple day on larger projects. This is a Community Organization that is an anchor in the city. I want to urge you to do everything in your power. There are many internets helping with the housing issues. It is truly the Affordable Housing keeping seniors in their homes. I want to emphasize what a great consideration it is and please do everything in your power to keep them here. The economic pressures are getting too great. Bes
