And it is in need of some substantial work. Its a beautiful building. Its really in a in a great neighborhood. And were just asking for some assistance through the mills act in order to do the maintenance and repairs that i think would really bring the Building Back to its former beauty and believed that it would help to enhance the neighborhood and.

Hello, commissioners. My name is Mark Shkolnikov and on behalf of the owners for 908 market, i just want to thank you for your consideration of our mills act application and the mills act will have a really Significant Impact in offsetting our our rehabilitation costs. And were also simultaneously we currently in the process of applying for an office to residential conversion in the building. So thank you. Okay. Hi, im michael foley. My wife may is here and we also have two children who are six and eight. We immediately fell in love when we saw this house last year. It was a fixer upper in need of expensive repairs, but we had no idea wed be able to live in such a magnificent house. Mae is a trained architect and an artist, and were both passionate about preserving the beauty of the city. The house has a historic significance. As the first house ever built by the renowned architect henry hinkle in 1878, who went on to build many of the famed Pacific Heights victorians. When we bought it last year, it was an abandoned office and had fallen into disrepair. Our neighbor says that hed never seen anyone enter the building in 30 years. We aim to restore the house to its original purpose as a Single Family. Victorian home and raise our children there. We are committed to the true Historic Preservation of this house inside and out, not just routine maintenance. Were not knocking down walls to make an open floor plan when we fix broken windows, its with restoration glass where the original Crown Molding has broken. We restore it the proper way. We even pulled up the Office Carpet and some old linoleum and restored. Theyre restored. The original douglas fir floors. Were bringing it back to its original glory in a mills act contract is essential to helping us preserve its historic character because we are deeply committed to rehabilitate and maintain it the right way. But its expensive work and were sacrificing a lot to preserve the house the way it deserves. We appreciate that pastors buys pastors buy are always taking photos of our house because its a prime example of the italianate style. Our vision is that due to our stewardship, san franciscans a hundred years from now will continue to walk down our block and be able to admire this architectural gift. The mills. That contract will help us contribute to the beauty of this historic street. Thanks for your consideration. Thank you. Okay. Any other Public Comment on either of these applications . Are any of these applications seeing no members of the public coming forward and no raised hands . Public comment is closed and these applications are now before you commissioners. Thank you. Commissioner foley. Hi. I just i read all the reports and i want to say to staff, thank you very much for the work that you did. I know its a its a lot of work to actually do the mills act for the for the three applicants. I really appreciate what youre doing. Its a real pain to renovate Old Buildings and to care for Old Buildings and for Market Street, big commercial buildings, as you see there, going back to banks all the time. And im really happy that youre going to invest in that building and try to bring back mid market. So thank you very much. Thank you, commissioner vergara, id just like to echo commissioner foleys comments. Thank you for caring so much about those buildings and putting the time and effort and expense into it. Thank you, commissioner. Nuggets warren, i of course, i appreciate all of what everybody is doing for these buildings cause i do want to just have a reminder of a referencing the secretary of the interior standards and the guidelines just to look at the specifics of how the rehabilitation works and what specific things are appropriate for Historic Buildings. And certainly the planners will help you do that. And one thing that i always think about is replacement of the old growth wood windows and how, you know, those are the most stable all in their existing state because of their denseness. And of course, now nowadays were looking at energy, all of that. So any way that you can make those work would be greatly appreciated just to retain the integrity of these buildings and how they were originally be used and displayed to the public, they it all means something. And sometimes when i go by buildings and i see theyve got vinyl windows or Something Like that, it it directly does take a take a take away from the building. So i appreciate that. All of you are considerate of what youre doing and look at the guidelines. Look at the California Historical building code, see what ways that you can use those. To continue to rehab, rehabilitate these buildings in an appropriate way. Thank you. Thank you. And i also want to thank you for undertaking this pretty challenging task. But to be good stewards about very important resources in the city and county of San Francisco. And im sure you dont need to be told again, but the mills act took a lot to become, um, a very Important Program to the state of california. And we are hoping that you will serve as models for other Property Owners in the future who do own Historic Buildings of historic significance so that we can continue to promote Historic Preservation throughout the city. So thanks for your work, commissioner warren. Just one other comment. You know, related to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, you know, as much as you can put into the building and not expose it to the exterior. So that also preserves the character of these buildings. So work with the planners and see what can be done. So appreciate that. Thank you. Motion to approve all three. Second thank you, commissioners, on that motion to adopt recommendations for approval on all three mills. Act applications. Commissioner vergara. Yes. Commissioner foley i. Commissioner warren. Yes.
