To 1716 street historically noeng known as marcus book store and jim boss bob of section of the planning code. This is a historic moment for me. I was working behind the counter of marcus book store. I think the next step needs to be National Landmark designation. Thanks thank you. Two more speaker cards calling names morning, commissioners. I just wanted to ask for a little bit of clarification on the commissioners condominiums regarding flexibility and referring to article 10 as a guideline. As youre aware theres litigation surrounding this property. Were certainly in support of preserving his history and we dont want any of the commissions decisions made on this property to influence the outcome of litigation. That would help both parties in that common understanding. Thank you thank you good afternoon. Im mr. Anderson. I recently helped to save the landmark of marcus book store it was a 9 month battle against city bank and we raised 175,000. I understand how important the marcus book store is to the Africanamerican Community. Its crucial its not just africanamerican history its naturally nationwide history. I would go to the marcus book store with my father. I feel if we preserve the name and the legacy of marcus book store it will serve the generates of San Francisco citizens and people across the world. A lot of times the africanamerican legacy gets separated with the American League and thats wrong. The world legacy of america is intooend with the america society. If we continue to allow marcus book store to function it will serve the community any member of the public wish to speak . Come on up to the microphone. Thank you many of us are here because we want to emphasize. Would you like to give your name . Rick. When the book was jim bosses and on washington and because of the militia order the japanese communicated had a hardship. They had to reestablish their lives and the Japanese Community came back together. During the 50s students came together to help with the education. This established the first Historic Department and they got together to share the space. The marcus book store is supporting the Housing Initiative and people in difficult situations besides did historical locates to help with their houses. And, of course, youve heard about the offices that have been there. The main thing i want to thank the Historic Preservation for sporting the africanamerican heritage. And i want to thank you for the japanese complexity statement. That was after the marcus book store back in september i went back and evolved the session afterward and i wanted to say thank you for supporting the japaneseamerican Community Also for all the years theyve put into it was amazing i thought that was a great part of the process. Its wonderful to see the things that make San Francisco strong. Mainly those are the efforts i thank you and thank you for supporting marcus book store designation. Thanks thank you. Good afternoon. Im karen. Im very pleased to be here today. This is really a special believe and institution for San Francisco and to have it recognized by this commission is very, very important. Its significant not only to the Africanamerican Community but to San Francisco as a whole because were looking not just to preserve buildings but to preserve our community our legacies of the cultural institutions and people who make San Francisco such a unique and important place. Im very much i want to xrets envy admiration for the report it quadriplegics that sense of how this embodies a place that gives us the cultural life and this city is acting to a protect and recognize those sorts of institutions. Thats really an important thing so thank you for doing that. I want you to know this is part of a larger continuing efforts. We are he letting you know, too, we hope youll attend the Human Rights Commission hearings on november 14th at 6 00 p. M. In city hall on the gym both bobs city not only for the particular building but how it relates to other buildings in San Francisco that are losing their economic, their institutional pieces and how we as a city can apply ourselves to keeping that vitality going and certainly the work youve done as a commission that ms. Brown as your staff will be part of that because were pleased with what youve done and thankful youve he will taken this you object up. I have some information about the hearing im give to clerk thank thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners. Im desiree smith. As you recall we are we were here and were here again to reiterate our comments and data were still in support of the nomination of the designation of marcus book store and jim boss bob city. Weve reviewed the second draft of the report and believe the Planning Department did the great job you all brought up and we think overall the additional japanese interim time and between the japaneseamerican and africanamerican communities has made the report stronger so we youre going to you support in thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Im trying to figure out we havent, you know, a Commission Hearing for the landmark building or are we having a hearing a meeting for the marcus book store landmark are they trying to tie up together because thats going to influence the litigation thats going on. We asked you before to give us time to wait until the litigation is over we dont want any litigation to effect that. We arent saying that we should have wait until the litigation is over. We ask you its been in the Planning Department for two years. We dont know what let us hold until the litigation is over we cant falsify one person over another. So, please lets hold on until the litigation is over. So thats what im going to say. Its going to be on your conscious to affect one over another thank you do we have any other member that wishes to speak p seeing none, well bring it back to the commission. Commissioners . Commissioner pearlman. I want to say one thing i wrote the landmark for the designation for the memorial and it was an old Theatre Building originally and the designation did not include the fact by the time we designated the quilt had moved inform atlantic right now its a seafood restaurants. Its relevant to the city of San Francisco that the aids quilt was made there from the activities in the 80s and 90s around the aids crisis. Mary brown mentioned the fact that the tendency, you know, is not related to this be landmark designation its specifically for the building a physical building itself. So i believe that is clear ms. Brown. I mean this is clear that the marcus book store is, you know, its tenancy because of the fluid nature of history says that the marcus book store didnt exist; is that correct thats correct and the intent of the memo for all parties. Again, im not party to the litigates i dont know what the issues are but for your clarity the marcus book store section shouldnt be an influence like that. Commissioner. Move to adapt the resolution. Second. Commissioner. Yeah. Could you have an opinion from the Attorneys Office on this issue. Absolutely and there im here as the deputy attorney. Thats correct i reviewed the memo and article 10 is regarding the physical characterized. The building is significant because of its past events. As marcus book store and as a jazz club but its not protected under article 10 only the physical characteristics any other comedies. Seeing none. On the motion to recommend approval calling names so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and concludes your calendar. Thank you very much well bring this meeting to a hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for well good morning, everyone and welcome. Im mike co hill president of the west bay regular alienate. This event will kickoff the construction of two new state of the arc earthquake save hospitals in San Francisco. One hospital here on this site in the center of San Francisco and a Second Hospital at the Caesar Chavez in the growing neighborhoods of the southeast section of the city.
