And i am happy to answer any questions you may have. I believe many of the representatives are here today. Thank you, ms. Smith. Lets go ahead and open this to public comment. We have a couple of cards. Kathy and laura. Come on up. How about kathy first. Go ahead please. Whatever works. Doesnt matter. Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much. It is an honor to be here. I just completed the walking tour today and reminded every day why do i what i do. I had a woman, a black woman from georgia who was on my tour and shared with my group what happened to her. She worked for the department of treasury in washington, d. C. And it somehow got out in the early 90s she was a lesbian. She came home one night to find a bullet hole over her fouryearold daughters head, above her bed. Her neighbor reminded her that lesbians are not welcome there. And she went deep south to a small town in georgia for the past 25 years. Today i had the absolute pleasure of cruisen the castro with her, her first day in San Francisco. And i can assure you cassandra feels amazing right now. This is why i do what i do every day. And its changing lives. And education is knowledge and power and, gosh, i am so humbled by that. Thank you for the opportunity. I bought the business from trevor haley in 2005, so i walk the tours almost every day. And it is an absolute honor, so thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Just a quick note. So i just wanted to say you have already heard a good amount about our history and the 123 years in San Francisco. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to listen and for your consideration of Anchor Brewing Company as a legacy business. I feel incredibly fwart to bard toll the story every day. We would not exist without San Francisco and throw brewing has advanced since we started fermenting the beers on the rooftop, we are to staying here in our beloved city. Thank you for your time and consideration. Linda trudell. Good afternoon. Thank you. I am here representing erin for the hockey haven. And i am part of the family that started the original hockey haven ownership. My father is rene trudeau, and he was the hockey player. A little his history is he was in the business for about 10 years and then he was paralyzed. My mother took care of him, and she had to learn the business. And she went to Bartending School to learn how to make drinks. She had to get on the license because at that time a woman couldnt be behind the bar to serve drinks. It was against the law. A long time ago. And so she did that. And she ran the bar. And then my father passed away in 1984, and in 1989, she decided to retire. She sold the bar to josephine and marguerite, and down the road they told it to aaron massey. And aaron and i have reconnected and im just thrilled to death of what she has done with the bar. Shes cleaned it up. It looks beautiful. Im glad she kept can you kept the uniqueness and i am honored hob here to help her represent it. My mother is 89, and she knows what is going on here, and she is thrilled to death that it stayed a womenowned business, and so am i. Any questions . Great. Thank you. Force robert sheets. Good afternoon. Thank you for taking the time to listen to us. Im robert sheets, city gardener, and used to be the gardener at city hall. And a longtime resident out in the outer sunset. Patron of the hockey bar and grill which is a gift and treasure that has helped defind our neighborhood for decades. To us its not just a bar, but a place to meet after work and check in with friends. See how everybodys day went, a place to share your triumphs and get a shoulder when times are rough. The owners of the hockey, new and old, have posted the neighborhood locals and visitors through countless world series wins, basketball wins, hollywood barbecues and personal events and wakes and wedding celebrations. Theres corned beef on st. Patricks day, countless potlucks and if you dont have a place to go to on thanksgiving, eat and fell at home at the hockey. Regardless of how far away you move from the neighborhood or how long its been since youve walked into the hockey, we know you will be greeted by friends on both sides of the bar. The dictionary defines legacy as the gift of one person handed down from one to the other. We have lost many landmarks in our neighborhood. Recently the Little Christmas tree lot is now an apartment building, but the hockey remains much as it has since the first day i walked in 30 years ago. Erin and caramel, when they started the business did not change it much. Cleaned it up but kept a lot of it the same. Much the same way shawn and joseph didnt change it in their care. The sign reads hockey haven bar and grill as it has for decades even when the grill is not being used and hockey games took a backseat to warriors games. The original owner was a hockey player and the picture graces the bar walls as does pictures of many locals, new and old. With targets, c. V. S. , and starbucks popping up more and more, it is important to protect the connection to the past in San Francisco. And for us out in our neighborhood, the hockey is that connection. Thank you very much. Any questions . Thank you. My name is dennis honda and will add that hockey haven is a diverse bare and ethnic race and Sexual Orientation and many people from different walk of life. And a diverse age group. And 24 to 94. Everybody gets along and watches sports and eats and drinks and talks. And everybody is friendly. The owners keep the bar in good shape. It is well maintained. That is pretty much it. Thank you. Force great. Thank you. I have lived in district five for 35 years and moved to district five five months after comic experience opened in 1989. It is a very Important Institution in our community. And back then we called it the western edition. Awe now we call it the corridor and brian hibs and his family at comic experience, it is not only a store, but a place where the community gathers. It is a place where he builds community and is taking the community from the store and out into the city wide community. And comics experience for a lot of folks is that i have mentors. From there they have gone on the to be the readers of navls and historians like me. And brian sees how important literacy is and the partnership and throughout the district and the city and teaching kids the love of comics and is not just archie and jug head and comics can be really great and graphic novels. If you go into a store on wednesday evening, there might be a whole family and a 25yearold goth kid looking for the latest dark comic from germany. And a real part of the community. I hope you all support this and support how important comics experience is to the divisadero corridor and the lower alamo square and what we collectively call the western edition. Thank you. Force i am in support of hockey haven application as a legacy business registry and i want to share a little bit of my story. And hearing the other stories makes me feel emotional. I live far away now in South Carolina and sitting in San Francisco when i first moved here, i knew one person, and that one person took me to the hockey haven. That is where my life started here. I met so many good people. That is where we when we didnt have family. These are all my friends. They are my life here, and i just thank the business for what they gave me. When i was looking for a job, i found it through someone i met there. I wanted to start a Softball Team. And it was all with friends that i met there. And we went there after every game. And they all told me it was the best day of the week as we all got together and everyone showed up every week, so it was hard to make a lineup when everyone shows up every week. But i am very thankful for it and being there. And i hope its there for 70 more years because its built its a big piece of the neighborhood. And its been a big part of my life. And that one person who took me here to San Francisco, i married him. And i love erin and everyone i met there. And i cant be more happy for her. For having this business. Thank you. Thank you. Samantha. Hi. Good afternoon. My name is samantha and i am a supporter of the hockey haven. I have lived across the street for over 10 years from the hockey haven, and it really is the essence of the Outer Richmond. I have made life long friends there. We have been in each others wedding like jamie said, we formed a Softball Team today, balboa constrictors. Its really not just a bar. Its a family environment and welcomes everybody and its just always a great time. Really positive, safe, happy place to be. Thank you. Thank you. Ryan burke. Hello. Ryan burke. I would just like to say i was part of the Softball Team. I hit a few homeruns. And i just want to say hockey haven is the place to gather, place to meet new friends and place to say goodbye to old friends. And its just the heart of the Outer Richmond neighborhood to me. And playing sports and watching sports is a big part of my life and nowhere else i would rather be to watch our bay area teams and i love erin and caramel, and thank you very much. Anyone else from the public wish to speak to the legacy businesses . Okay. Hi. My name is melissa lewis. And i am here on behalf of jug good Performance Group. I am the communications and Program Manager at the company. And a different level of relationships with the company and the space it currently resides and i want to say that were very honor and excited to be considered, and we want to thank sf heritage for sharing this opportunity with us. We had a recent partnership with them, and i will mention it a little bit later. Founded 33 years ago by joe goode as a multidisciplinary performance and Dance Theater group. And joe goode has pioneered visibility and voice for the Lgbtq Community in addition to a broad range of Community Engaged programs. The company also created many immersive performances in Historic Buildings and most notably in the Old Mint Building and remounted in 2010 and the hospital house in 2018. And our Community Engaged programming further embeds joe goode Performance Group in the city and arts landscape. And the Youth Education program with several bay area high schools, our resilience project collaborating with veterans to Practice Mindful Movement and story telling and our accessible, affordable home theater space that serves as a vital hub to hundreds of working artists in our immediate community. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Any other members of the public . Good afternoon, commissioners. On behalf of San Francisco heritage, wonderful to see another batch of legacy businesses before you today. I wanted to speak to the joe goode Performance Group which i am personally familiar with. To elaborate, joe goode Performance Group presented a Site Specific installation at the house over the entire month of july. It was a soldout run exposed the house to over 1500 entirely new visitors and in the course of their preparing for the performance, i got to know joe goode and the staff well. And they are an incredibly Creative Organization full of artist, dancer, musician, and underscores the importance of the legacy Business Registry Program and sustaining arts organizations in San Francisco today. The performance they presented called Still Standing celebrated San Francisco as a place of reinvention only presented by an organization based in San Francisco familiar with the history. So i am just happy to be here to support their nomination. Thank you. Commissioner, andrew genius. What a fun day. And i saw the west portal and i thought it was going to be the easy and eat an lot of tacos there and what a fantastic, fun, family place that has served the neighborhood well. Congratulations to them. Thanks. Thank you. Any other members . Close public comment. Bring it back to the commission. A commissioner johns. As someone alluded to, it is nice to see another group. There is particularly special not just because of the Great Variety of people applying for the status, but because of the great passion with which was shown by the people who have come to support them. It is truly remarkable and this has become my favorite part of what well do. So i move that we move these people on to next step. Commissioner pearlman. Thank you, all, for coming out today. We get the benefit of hearing the hundreds who have come before you, and each time the woman who spoke and started tearing up, i had started tearing up when the woman who spoke about the history of the ownership and that is when it got me because of the threads of history that flow through all of your businesses. All of the people you touch and all the community that builds around you. And we all know San Francisco is changing very quickly and visibly as we lose a lot of businesses in our communities, and we lose buildings and New Buildings pop up, and we dont even recognize some of the areas anymore. So you are the ones who create the base and for the woman who moved to South Carolina, you clearly left your heart here. Thank you very much. I appreciate all you do for San Francisco. Thank you. Anyone else . I think we have a motion already. We do. I do have i do have some comments. I wanted to give others. So i am particularly impressed on the fact that we have businesses from other districts we typically havent had before us, so that is good. Good work. And i would like to have more. And i had a bar on polk street that became family. Unfortunately, we lost that bar, but we are still friends 20 years later. So its great. Congratulations. I was particularly moved about cruisin the castro walking tours and for communities, particularly communities of color, to participate in an unusual tour of a city really, really means something, so i am really happy that you are able to share that experience with her, and i grew up right down the block from hockey haven, but moved out of my parents house before i was 21. So i used to pass by that place every day, but now with my mother being of an advanced age, i am there often, and now i know where to go to after a long day with her. Especially on monday night for the special. You will see me there. All right. Thank you, commissioners. If there is nothing further, there is a motion seconded to approve, excuse me, to adopt recommendations for approval for the legacy business registry applications. Commissioner black . Yes. A commissioner johns . Yes. A commissioner pearlman . Yes. Commissioner wolfram . Yes. Commissioner matsuda. Yes. Commissioner president hyland. Congratulations. That passes unanimously 60. That will place us on item 8, 2018009197coa with a certificate of appropriateness. Good afternoon, commissioners. Shannon ferguson, department staff. The item before you today is a request for certificate of appropriateness for the property at 14701474 mcalester street. The property was constructed in 2016 and is located in the alamo square historic district. The proposed project seats to legalize work that exceeded and or differed from plans by the Historic Preservation commission in 2012 and also proposes several additional scopes of work. The arc reviewed and commented on this project on march 6, 2019. A summary of work that exceeded or differed from the h. P. C. Approval in 2012 includes the front facade bay windows. As approved by the h. P. C. , the square projecting base were to have windows that wrapped around the buildings corner. As built, they have large windows at the front and side. The a. R. C. Found the bays are in keeping with the traditional base and character of Historic Building form in the district in victorian and edwardian. And angled balconies were approved by h. P. C. In 2012 and as built t rear elevation is composed of rectangular balconies with glazing and glass railings. The rear balconies are only slightly vizable from the street due to the parking lot are compatible. The last item is the roof penthouse. Although it is not as tall as originally proposed, it is larger in Square Footage, and in the different configuration than originally approved. The arc found that the penthouse is substantially set back, subordinate to the main volume and does not attract to the primary facade in a matter that is compatible with the district despite the light visibility from the adjacent parking lot. Work is proposed to comply with the 2012 h. P. C. Approval, and that includes constructing a horizontal stepped wood roof corner and constructing a horizontal raised wood trim above and below the bay windows. And at the front entry, constructing two square wood columns with a horizontal wood cornice to support the bay above. Plans included in the packet indicate that concrete steps would be on the front entry. However, the project sponsors have communicated to staff that existing blue stone tile is preferred. The project sponsors are also pr posing additional new work to the building, including adding a simple flat painted wood chair rail and crown moulding to match the existing baseboard and the utility meters with setback metal screening and the roof district and installing a 6foot high metal gate between the property and the adjacent property to the west. The proposed project complies with arc comments, except for the front steps. As mentioned, the project sponsors wish to remain the blue stone tile on the steps. And blue stone tile is not compatible with the concrete, wood, or terrazo steps within the alamo square district. Concrete steps would be more appropriate and make the main entry more reflective in terms of ornamentation and materials found in the district. The arc did confer with staff assessment of the steps. Staff is determined hah the proposed work and additional new work within the recommended or with the recommended conditions as outlined in the case report are in conformance with the requirements outlined in the appendix e of article 10 and the secretary standards and will be compatible with the character defining features of the alamo square historic district. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval with review and approval of on site mock up of roof corner, window trim, and recessed entry to meet the intent of the h. P. C. Approval and provide the adequate depth, detailing and elevation to the front of the building aened a final site visit after work is completed to confirm the enforcement action has been evaded. This concludes the presentation. I am happy answer any questions. Thank you. Is there a presentation. I just have a question. Sure. About the concrete steps, so if we approve it as it is here, would the conditions you mention the project will restore concrete steps . Is that as its drawn right now . As drawn. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Junius, can i ask you a question . I was a confused at the arc. Who is the client . Who are you representing . Sure. My client is the company that now owns one of the units and are an owner and the company that built the building. They purchased the entire project which is frankly, part of the confusion where we got off on the wrong foot at one point. My client is. I think that is the distinction. They are not the same people that entitled it. Correct. That is where i was confused. Correct. Anyway, i will take just a few minutes here. I dont think there is a whole lot to talk about. We certainly are in agreement with virtually every recommendation from the arc and the conditions that were just described by shannon. I want to thank shannon on the help for this one and a lot of detail and lot of history and appreciate your patience. Just pretty obvious that the existing owners like the building the way it is, and some letters submitted at the last second saying we are fine with the architecture. My clients and i know that is not the issue, but the owners are fine with the way it is now. Certainly not opposing the proposed additions and the roof deck and some of the changes outside are relatively ornamental and i think when we talk about enforcement action, this is really something where we didnt really exceed the scope. Frankly, we didnt get finished with the scope. Things are mainly with with the exception of the steps are things to add to the building and not that exceeded the scope of the work. That is an interesting observation. And on the stair issue t steps, with all due respect, i am not a Historic Preservation person, but you do walk around the neighborhood and you do see overhead up. You do see lots of buildings that have tile steps. So this, i think, frankly, i am not sure what the Decision Making process happened and why the contractor or the owner eventually decided to put the tiles on it, but they did. They like it. And the owners like it. There is lots of examples that i will enter into the record this exhibit. And i am not sure this made it into the packet, but plenty of examples of this. With all due respect, we would like to leave the respects the way they are. If you decide to change them back to cement, we will agree to that. But i think that is the only issue i am here to ask your indulgence on. Happy to answer any questions. Open this up to public comment. Any member of the public wish to speak to this item . Hi. Alan shem, actually, i live next door in 1486 mcalester and i am here to represent our collective interest in that building a z the next door neighbors that share a driveway with the unit. As the letter states, we are satisfied with the appearance of the 1470 building and supportive of leafing it as is, as well as the proposed roof deck. We are totally fine with that. I am here to talk about the third item which hasnt had a lot of discussion but is around the topic of the addition of a driveway gate. So in front of our building there is evidence that at one point there was a gate or some kind of fence that faced the street, but unfortunately, google street view doesnt go back that far. I cant find photographic evidence of that, but this driveway is of importance to us. Its been a safety concern. In our building alone, there is three children, three little girls that are all age 10 or below. And in our time in the building, we have had regular occurrences of strangers trespassing in the side yard, backyard, going up the stairs which is a big safety concern for us. And at best, sometimes people will come and look around and leave and sometimes they eat and leave trash. But unfortunately, there have been more nefarious things that have taken place since it is a secluded area. We have had multiple times people use its as a toilet. And kind of at its worst so far, its been people doing hard drugs. On multiple occasions we have had to clean up needles and Drug Paraphernalia like right where the kids play in the lawn. So it definitely is a concern for us and the building next door. And not a fan of the gates, walls, and barriers to block the feeling of the warm and welcoming community, but to mitigate the scenarios with the gate and increased safety and we still want to preserve and be respectful of the historic language in the neighborhood and that incentivized us to lay down roots in the first place. I have pictures of incidents if you want. You dont need to see it . Okay. Thank you so much. Any other member of the public wish to comment . Closing public comment. Bring it back to the commission. Commissioner wolfram. I had a little trouble finding exactly where the gate is going in plan. Is it an elevation. But i couldnt right at the street. Oh, very at the building and wraps around. Like a fence that would go around. Okay. Thank you. My comment is about the steps, i guess. The one concern i had about bringing them back to concrete is right now whether they are compatible, they are clean and finished. I am a little concerned in the process of making them concrete steps, they might look worse because they have to remove the stone and kind of beat up. And i dont know what the quality is of the concrete theyre going to do, so i am a little bit concerned about that part and i dont find the steps to be particularly problematic. I do disagree with this being a minor, not quite finishing the work because there is a lot of things that are really different about i was here when we saw this project eight years ago. And seven years ago. And it is quite different than what was what was built is quite different than what was approved and that is highly frustrating for us. And annoying for us. So i think, on the other hand, i dont think that just because of that prort, i am not sure we should be punishing them by taking out the tile if its going to result in a not very attractive concrete step. Those are my points about the steps. Thank you. Commissioner pearlman. I wasnt here, and if i were, i would have had very differing opinions of both what was proposed and what actually got built. Because i think its highly inappropriate, the design, and i am sure the neighbors or owners are perfectly happy because that is why they bought there and are living there. And i have a couple of questions. And one is really more general planning question about the size of the roof deck and the glass railing. My understanding through my own project is that typically we are limited to 500 square feet for a roof deck and glass railings typically are not approved. And in this case it is probably a good thing because you dont want to draw any attention up there. But i was curious why this is so much bigger, 50 larger, than what the department kip cally will a typically will allow. It is really a staff question. I dont know if its ms. Ferguson or elizabeth jonkier. Yes, i think in this particular instance, we have through staff review, we saw it was more compatible to have the glass railing in this location. And i think that we are working on roof deck policies for the size of roof decks. In this case i can double check and its held back 5 feet from the exterior. It isnt all the way around, so that was another question. In this instance we deemed it compatible that it met Square Footage limitations for this building. But i do understand your concern that we have otherwise been limiting. I also dont know if there is any Building Code issue where one from the roof for distance to get down and out of the building. That is not our purview, but something to check. The second question is, on the original design and the approved design, the cornice wrapped all the way down the sides of the building. In the original design, it wrapped to the back. I dont really care if it wraps to the back. I am wondering why in this design it comes around and stops . Because obviously that side is completely visible, but in between the two buildings there is lots of ways to see it from the public way. I would just want propose that it stops and sunt continue down, but the original resigns and continuing all the way around to cap the building which would be a more typical way to see it. You wouldnt see it stop and just have a blank wall if it were exposed. If it were because it just doesnt look finished. So i dont know if other commissioners would agree with that. But i would advocate to take the cornice all the way down to visible sides. And 3. 3 and 3. 2. The only one that doesnt have it is the proposed design. And on the stair, i agree with the commissioner wolfram. You see them all the time and is not my preference. Given that its built and clean and done, i would agree that i dont see it necessary to remove it to replace it with something else. In my opinion. The building looks like a box. It is a box. So i think this cornice does related to the need to provide a cornice, so i agree with that. I also agree with the stairs. Looks more builder grade to have tile, but i recognize the concern there. And the owners like it, so i am okay with that. I am curious about the fence and looking at a1. 2. And why the fence goes all the way out to the sidewalk as opposed to being to attach to sides of the building and i realize it is complicated with the curve, but it also could be possibly done further past the curve. I was just curious why it sort of comes out at the sidewalk and at the street. I am sure that can be adjusted if it doesnt comprise in access. Its on the Property Line and is where a fence would go. I think that might have been an arbitrary decision. Well, it requires side fences in order to keep people out if the goal is to keep people out t gate needs to connect to something. The way its drawn, i couldnt tell if it was proposing and that is much shorter. Will it keep people out . Is the question . And why is the fence so high . And i agree that it should be back and then die into the side of the curved component of the neighboring building. It is reasonable to want to keep people out of there for the safety of other people. I would push it back. With a down sloping lot, it shouldnt be hard to accommodate we will separate separately work on that. Yeah. Okay. I would like to make a motion to approve with the additional condition that the cornice be wrapped around the long sides of the building all the way down to the end of the building. I would like to add an amendment that the steps remain as is, and the second is that the sponsor will work with staff to push it further back from the Property Line. Agreed. Yeah. Do we have a motion . Second. Thank you, commissioners. If there is nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions as have been amended for the project sponsor to continue working with staff on the cornice, having a wraparound to the end of the building for the steps to remain as is and to continue working on the fence, pushing it further back from the Property Line. On that motion. [roll call] so moved. That motion passes unanimously. Commissioners, that will place us on item nine. 1815 waller street. This is a landmark designation application. [laughter] look who is back. [laughter] good afternoon, commissioners francis mcmillan, Planning Department staff. That item before you is a Community Generated landmark designation application for 1315 waller street. The application was scheduled was submitted concurrently with the millis act application. In addition to the material in your packet, staff received a memo on the property prepared by an Architecture Firm and copies are provided for the commissioners. The subject property is a woodframe threestory over garage residents constructed in 1896. The property is located on the south side of waller street. The gable roof features include angled bays with windows on windows on the verse and second floors. The property is nominated for its association with the original owner, developer, an occupant of the property. He was a shipbuilder with his own company and was also a shipbuilder with the north transportation and organ steamship properties. It also includes a brief mention of commercial involvement in San Francisco. Staff recommends further research with significance as both a developer as this of the subject property, and for his role in shipbuilding and commerce in San Francisco. They were part of the wave of development in the neighborhood in the late 19th century. Additional research may indicate there is a stronger case for landmark eligibility that can be made for the property, or as a contributor to a small landmark district comprised of the subject property and the other four seasons buildings. Staff also recommends Additional Research on the propertys restoration during the 1970s as indicated by permit history provided in the application to explore and establish a connection with the bride spread restoration and Similar Properties constructed during the same
