I urge the board to be stronger, if you like, about what they do if people are in violation. This developer proceeds as if its a carpool violation and you afford it, pay it off, move on. That cannot be the case. We have to stop this from going on in our city. Thats all i want to say. I want to mention that our uphill neighbor couldnt be here as well. They sent their son, who is on an Aircraft Carrier in the sea of japan, but here in his offtime and he has a very big button, so i appreciate your time. Thank you very much. President breed thank you for your testimony. Next speaker, please . Supervisors, good afternoon. Im jessica mcgregor. I live across the street from the proposed project and from mr. Kauffmans home. As you know, San Francisco is suffering from an epidemic of work beyond the scope of permits, work without permits, serial permits to avoid ceqa. I believe the most recent example was 1841 chestnut and on lombard street. And the Planning Department was looking at 214 states
And other things identified in the best and most responsible result. So this conversation will continue. The other time i have today, colleagues, is an in memoriam for the daughter of reverend arnold townsend, his only doubter, rachel townsend. Rachel was a committed member of the Africanamerican Community here in San Francisco and was a behindthescenes champion in leading a festival every single year. Despite how challenging it was to organize this event, rachel continues to push herself and Push Community members to show up every sippingle ye single year. She was always there for the community and she was also always there to support and help her dad. She was really the light of reverend townsends life. Its sad that we lost her. She was only 38 years old. And rachel was so many things to so many people and an important part of our community, as i said. And because she was so young, there were no arrangements or any Life Insurance that could help to support her and pay for her funeral
Efforts of community members, weve moved forward in a healthy way we have existing providers and funders who are willing to help us implement this sites and what i was hoping from this memo is a deeper analysis of how we can do the right thing within the confines of the law. The city may need to take steps against criminal prosecution and other risks identified in this memorand memorandum. And im asking the City Attorney gauge the risk of prosecution and other things identified in the best and most responsible result. So this conversation will continue.

President breed please speak directly at the microphone. I have lived in the neighborhood for 30 years. I will read an excerpt from a letter. I will read a section of the letter that they did send to the Planning Board. When we as a Neighborhood Group gathered to meet the architect and developer, we spoke in one voice and raised our specific request. Stay within the footprint of the original home. We went on to tell our own stories about how we did improvements to our own homes. As a group of neighbors, we communicate with each other and support each other. Weve made a lot of improvements, but weve always stayed in contact with our neighbors in order to let them know what is going on and how they respond to that. Were not antiremodel. Were against careless, dangerous, unsightly development. We raised our specific concerns that the open space be respected and that the historic cox december head home not be put in jeopardy by excessive excavation. Thank you. President breed thank you for
