It represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that San Francisco is famous for. The wood you see in the board of supervisors chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. Interesting thing about the oak is there isnt anymore in the entire world. The floors in china was cleard and never replanted. If you look up at the seceiling you would believe thats hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. There are no records about how many people worked on this building. The workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. And what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today.

For an appeal. Could i hear mr. Sanchez what your time estimate is . Generally, these matters can be dealt with fairly promptly and i mean that this is a simple referral from the department of public works i would want to add abundance of caution and take the materials and the history related to the case i would not want to approve it as soon as we got it, would i want to take a second look at the materials because it seems to be the condition of a approval was this the slline a condition of approval and we dont have any evidence at this point to show that the dsl is a condition of approval that was approved by any particular body. To me in my mind that is critical in making a decision on the subdivision, is this a condition of approval. Was this approved in 1962 when they approved the subdivision and we dont have any evidence that shows that that is the case but i would like to take a look at the records to see if we dont have any evidence that supports that. Looking at more informati

All levels of portbility that pushes the demand father out into the neighborhoods, according to the planning director, 80 percent of the citys development is taking place on 20 percent of the land and that raises serious issue abouts the fairness and now the density is distributed in the city, it is imperative that we start to think more creatively about how the land is used and we believe that this is a good project and if the city is serious about addressing this crisis, and that we face in our housing supply, we are going to have to figure out a way to adopt and build, many, many, many more, projects, of this type, and it is thoughtful and there is a full of the type that we need. And we believe that strongly that turning down this project hurts the interest of the city, and we believe that approving projects like this, that take it and take the advantage creatively of the available land is strongly in the interest of San Francisco.

And i believe that was a tactical move on their part because in 99, they applied for subdivision first and then failed with the subdivision for other reasons and building set bac
