Text. Thank you commissioner Vice President cleaveland. laughter . So this is another social media question the preservation and education component, however, you are traveling by foot or car be respect and aware of each other so again what social media was employed in getting out that message im sure youre going on facebook and out on the website putting this message out there ill have to ask the pio did the pio do a presentation or introduced themselves. You mean jonathan yes introduced himself. Maybe it is a good idea to have him delineate on what he is doing hes on the move this is only in february. Lounge do you think that will forefront a social media policy that maybe the best time to come before us. You dont want i dont want to but them on a timeline so it wasnt an easy thing to put together other departments have a hard time drafting them across the country. Perhaps he can come sooner than later and the social media policy will be part of the strategic plan. Im assuming so in what regards. There will be a category that outreachethe essential media policy. Thats a good point. I think that essential expirations that it is included the strategy plan. Good idea. I think i have one more question regarding the times excuse me experiencing better take place on Treasure Island and the yuld you said ventilation leave and slopes. I said some of the buildings on slopes or the building well be doing some of drills you enter at a certain level behind the building goes down the slopes we have had 3 fatalities and serious injuries we want to get it right. This is a wonderful resource yuld and Treasure Island as buildings are being you know either torn down we get a chance to go in and do a lot of good training i wonder have the k9 units on Treasure Island. On Treasure Island there are proposals but as far as where the construction is going on ill have to deter to any colleague. Chief director of training yes, commissioners, in fact, ive been in contact with chief Francisco Many of the three or four concrete buildings on Treasure Island at this point have problems on west side facing the city will be demolished met with the occasion company last friday looks like a good clan to get the dogs in after the demolitions before we roach the pile. That would be wonderful to do that it is i guess a couple of years since i joined the k9 united south of the city and saw the training and the operation and the volunteers that are hidden throughout large buildings and the dog sniff them out it is very, very impressive training one of the things they have so few large spaces in which to practice and to give the dogs practice anytime they come on an opportunity that is an opportunity with a large building or complex building i think we always need to keep in mind the k9 units. I agree and the new area a challenge for the dog. And the dogs are like people in a lot of ways they like new challenges all right. Thank you any last questions oh. Sorry. Commissioner nakajo.

Not at that time go ahead and start youre a i indicated my name is donald i represented the tenants on 22 street two brought the appeal im the neighbor and also 0 a long time homeowners that lives 4 doors down i took the case an pro bono im disgusted of the new owner and the project manager that disregard the rights of tenants and the two united their seeking to tramp on the laws and the insistence that you are less able to defend themselves in cashing out on the real estate boom in San Francisco as we noted in our belief this appeal epitomize the one that is socially and a home against city only the white can reside thats not what made San Francisco what it is today as the letters from over a dozens of nightclubs enough is enough the citys policies and laws must be enforced thats why were before you today first ill to introduce you to the original tenants of the apartment william a 69yearold postman who is on a pension as well as a while serving in vietnam to his right is bill a 65yearold nature that was laid off and partially sdarpd among the misrepresentation their claim it no think it protected in this unit in fact, they claim the 2008 lease is the original lease for this part time that is 23409 not true as the declarations will attest this lease hold comments in 1y69d 2000 and their protected by the virtue of their age and the time the unit the real obviously may seem like a Building Permit but the offering of the owners since the managers since day with an to cash in on the real estate boom by get rid of the tenants and selling the tics to the highest bidder the facts were disputed by the appellant in their brief and another reason weve submitted this declaration awe testing to the statements by the Property Owners and the pshlg about to do piling what i described their acts speak louder than word necessary bought out the twin peaks in the lower units and a protective tenant that lives the unit for 40 years and have the imputing of those two apartments one the containments with the Building Permits applications provide a scant description of the work that doesnt allow the pravpt to do their job they were ripped to the studs and some were removed new plumbing nothing original that remains in either of the units and now precisely what the permit holder seek to do they tried to boot out the parapets and the permit holders id like to an action and in their brief to insult the intelligence by claiming that eviction was not an eviction but the project sponsors to find out the identity of the people the tenants the Property Owners who boulth the building in 2014 knew of the attendants identity because the tenants provided an eis tool a copy of which is provided the dilations weve offered today and if this what was not enough 10 months before the permit holders set a 614 a rent control ordinance with the two recipient they identified every single one of the occupants and the eviction what was brought to muscles them to get them out we were in fact, getting lawyers and the case was promoting terminated by the Property Owners they have no case they know who 9 residents are and no case for violating and p in the primary news we have the Affordable Housing as soon as that section was dismissed within a week they submitted their Building Permit to do what at the did the intent of the renovation to do precisely as described and take advantage and basically abuse a provision on rent control law that allows the Property Owners to evict their tenants up to 10 months for Capital Improvements it is not the type of Capital Improvement by that law it is simply to encourage landlord to keep their units up that requires the evictions so be that that law also allows the landlords to get an extension on the 3 months and as seen from the records weve presented in the opening brief the project manager knows that law well and take advantage of it to keep the tenants out up to a year we precisely expect that why . Because the renovations in the lower units have been underway for a year and still not k34e9d their hope in a year it whether no longer be able to move into their unit theyll philosophical their goal of selling to the highest bidders thats not their intention were here aspect latino to sell as tics this is exactly what they said and absolutely what their actions will be their intention to follow on but the priority guidelines by the citizens and which require projects to maintain go Affordable Housing and economic diversities in the neighborhoods i have of their rentcontrolled unit as apartments they have spent a future rentcontrolled unit well above the 25 holidays not van the economic diversities if we requested this permit urban design denied and enforce the priority guidelines if i may wrap up this will request a few moichgsz first we request more than wrapping up youll have time on rebuttal. Okay well hear from the permit holder now. Good afternoon. My name is a agreeing alex an, an attorney i apologize from my accents i came from rather than i feel im still russia because this was a political speech on mortal grounds ive not heard a word about the actual permits but let me first address the issues were here were here in view the permit the subject property a 3 unit 3 floor building this subject on appeal is one of the steps of the renovations we have the appeal the more calm approach there were consistence with the enforcement we didnt weigh that opportunity today to discuss and then see how the board decides to change it we want to apply for an amended plan in pursuant to the planning code and exhibit a attached to our brief shows the amended plans and exhibit b is the set of plans subject to this so those technical grounds in youll fairness weve addressed the political grounds also has a site that is grounds for them to have the unit at a lower price and on the grounds we disagree weve not singled outburst this unit it was a planning innovation from top to bottom no as a say 75 more than 75 percent replacement of the frame therefore neither the original plan more the amended plan requires a permit for approval there is no issue it is not brought up to our issues of the subject of the approval there are a r officially two bedrooms and one bathroom, under 9 plans i understand the place is used as four bedrooms but the plans are official legal authorized 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms the permit is in line with the citys plans general plan and agenda of housing there is absolutely no change so no change the character of the community or the city and there is for the tenants to move back as the gentleman did on the bus he had a unit renovated and the tenants moved in after the renovation were done we dont know the declarations that were to brought to the copy o to do board i cant comment on this the bulk of the time of my appointment was a political speech to reach i dont know how to respond on the technical ground of the subject i will show instead liv e this looks like only awe applicable point to brought to your attention and the response to the 75 percent category of the innovated floor plan i attempted to highlight the existing this will be the overhead and remembered framing the red shows the removed framing and sorry for any graphical skills to bring this back it shows it in place and. Could you speak into the microphone. The rates between what is moved up and in place is i manufactured it and this is my notes if you can see it is not 50 50 but definitely not 75 to 25 if we accept the lengths of this plan then one and 85 units will be remaining and two hundred 46 at best will be removed and when i say 200 and 46 i tent the contested one a area the building that chars the closet and we send in a picture in our brief i dont hear any rebuttal from the colleagues so with that, i will not take any more time of the board but like to im going to turn it over to the gen
