Questions, ill be happy to answer them is there is presentation by the planning commission. Im the architect for the Building Owner and also the Castro Country Club. Its a pleasure to be here. Weve been working on this project for over a year. For us the story starts when my client started looking at the building and my client is successfully in business and restaurant business. When we look at the building we saw the potential the combrv. What we also stated was to keep the Castro Country Club open and it has been there for thirty years. We discovered there was no permit for this project. This also gives the castro club more time to add issues to their project. Mike from the castro club are here to speak for the castro club. Weve been met with respect for the whole project. For a second id like to talk about the actions and reacts. And these are the objections. One was about odor. Were going to run a shaft up on the roof and take the process to get rid of the odor. And another one was
There. I know there is a concern with urination. This is a restaurant and as defined by the planning code it will be serving food for its income and i dont think the restaurant will contribute to that problem. Thank you thank you. Public comment is closed. Commissioners. I have a question for project sponsors. I think weve heard testimony regarding the Castro Country Club. Weve heard testimony on Castro Country Club everything has spoken positively. A few expectations but i guess im asking about the restaurant and why this is part of the same project because were looking for a legalizati the project started with the intensity of the ground floor from a garage to a restaurant space because the restaurant itself it lout the beer and wine itself make it a full serve restaurant. The Castro Country Club came up because it didnt have the proper permit this year the property didnt make financial sense. So far as the objections are concerned i think the primary objection is the noise were read

The great things it was done. Its a shame that the permits werent in place thirty years ago. I understand the need for when you have a need for the building at the current way you have to have revenues that take care of taxes. I know that were also trying to get rid of a trans sit person so were glad to have other consistent resources for people.
