I was on the western soma Planning Task force since 2006. And i want to congratulate and commend jim niko for what a great job he did. As ken said a second ago, i know a lot of people came and left and there ways was a group of local residents who were not happy about what was happening and tried to create disruption, but it wasnt possible. It was left up to western soma to say what was said. So particularly when it comes to entertainment, this is where i think it was left out. And i think we need to protect, preserve and promote live entertainment. We cannot allow to have residential in areas like 11th street, as was said by another person, these people move and know what is going on and at the end of the day come back and [kpraeupb ]. I have another run related not entertainment, but someone building a garage and the people bought their place a couple of years back. When the person went to build the garage, you can only go up 14, because we dont have the yard that we are supposed to
Currently proposed the planning, building and code section would be amended to generally prohibit lot mergers. As set form in the proposal such merge would only be permissible if an alley is provided result of the merger. I would like to everyone emphasize this would be an additional public benefit. To be sure existing session 270. 2.

Notably the amendment would allow for pedestrian connection from harriet to townsend on the project site.

President chiu, supervisor wiener and kim, my name is steve cookland and im with carline and the flare diversified properties, 520 townsend street. I want to commend the west soma task force and in genera
Presentation. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to 11th street between folsom and harrison. Can we take another moment . Sure. Well take mr. Lewis. Good afternoon supervisor. I am here to plead to not let the pursuit of the perfect be the enemy to the good. Not to let loud voices screaming for a single issue be the enemy of the plan. No plan will satisfy all constituents and all needs , but looking at the eight year process and the hundreds of meetings of the task force. It was an impressive process and actually an example that any community should use when trying to plan their future. There was a lot to be learned from the western soma task force and hue they went about their business. I know supervisor wiener you have concerns and i am concerned that as you press your concerns you will derail the plan and you will further delay it. While it wont be undone, it really is in a way kind of disrespectful to the hundreds of people who put thousands and thousands of personal hours into this plan
