Same page. If people feel there is no longer a need to do that i am open to do that but i am surprised to see if things have changed and we dont need that anymore so i am open to what counsel said but i would also say this i would have a problem if we cant do a joint meeting in january. I dont see why we wouldnt be able to do a joint meeting in january. I dont think i think that if the puc is really committed to this and is making it a priority we will have a meeting in january. I guess if we dont it will show the level of the lack of commitment on the part of this agency but i think if the commitment is there a meeting in january shouldnt be a problem. Thank you and i want to express that concern as well. I think there is a lot of urgency that we want to keep invected into all of this discussion and movement on cleanpowersf, so i actually like the idea of staff getting together from lafco staff and puc staff getting together as soon as possible. I am around during the holidays and so
Everybody was getting along fine with the new house. Instruction was well advanced and the project architect went to the Planning Department counter with a set of plans for a revision, is what he called it, a new permit revising the previous permit adding a roof deck and skylight and saw over the counter approval of this. It was brought to mr. Omakaro, but many knowledgeable architectings might go to the planning counter at that time if they were trying to get approval for something that might be questionable or sketchy. In fact, this permit authorized construction of a deck that similar mrip cant be approved. It is above the limit set by the special use district. The height limit of the general planning code for residential design is further limited by the special use district and no exception for anything above the 35 foot height limit is granted under that special use district. Its very unfortunate that the project sponsor sought to permit it in this way and frankly, im kind of baff

Its very unfortunate that the project sponsor sought to permit it in this way and frankly, im kind of baffled by the argument made by the project sponsors council saying that the neighborhood discussions were conducting in good faith and that the fact that they didnt abide by those agreements is a civil matter. Ive done this kind of negotiation with rubins office for 27 years and never heard something quite as cynical as that, that people should stand by what they say theyre going to do and neighbors fulfill

I am around during the holidays and so if theres even a time to get together during the holidays i would like to participate and if my staff is available too as well in meetings and the goal should be how to get ready for the joint meeting so yeah we can actually have a very direct discussion to move the project forward and not get bogged down into the weeds but has events set up for us to move things to the next level of approv
This has been a long and winding road for the other neighbors. Its the longest case ive ever had, more than ten years. I summarize this appeal should be granted on page 2 of our brief and ill start by reviewing those quickly. First is the legality issue. Article 9 of the public works code governs all and any work in the unaccepted right away. The permit was not granted with article 9 and not properly granted. The owners of the property are financially and personally liable for maintenance and use for anything consent is required. D just as specified in article 9 and thats probably the most important point in this appeal tonight. The sebd second is that the general plan, the planning code and numerous other policies and programs mandate preservation of open green space and these unaccepted undeveloped streets and rights of way a specifically defined in the planning code as Public Open Space and must be treated as Public Open Space because thats what they are. This is why the driveway so
