The basement with better known new the senior building inspector and the project manager is here my engineer found there were very dangers conditions the conditions are worts than the previous hearing two specific problems one is the soil at our Property Line has been carving into their basement undermining my border of the property and the second one is much for serious the excavation was duplicate below the level of base there of the nightclubs foundation so nothing is holding their foundation literally any property is on a higher level and theres a lot of soil are you presently employed any foundation could be pushed out of the way and both houses collapse my engineer said this needs to be shored immediately or work need to be begun on a plan on a new foundation immediately one of those two things has to happy he said the owner submitted a plan 6 days ago the night before any engineer didnt see by friday morning but look at it carefully on monday two days ago and found deficient is and detailed the deficiencies of the plan he sent this to those the engineer that did the drawings for the permit holder and he talked to their engineer on the phone on monday as well he recorded their engineer said the current plan was in the sufficient and the plan was rushed out in order to be before this appeal hearing the plan is not ready id like to have the foundation shored up immediately and id like to continue the work on the plan in coordination with my engineer to refine it it addresses the safety concerns and it is ready to submit to the building inspection as a permit revision once all the parties sign the plan acceptable withdraw the appeal eats the construction work can begun. I asking have a question is that the same engineer who was involved before. No, that engineer from my understanding has no longer on the project the new engineer that did the plan is a soil Engineering Construction thats the name of firm his name is bryan. Thank you. Thank you. Okay hear from the permit holder. Good evening. Im Jonathan Blackwood since the last time we had a meeting immediately following our night here at which point by the conducted a new engineer and they came out there was emergency shoring done after ourier met weve since submitted the new planned to their engineer had a conversation. Im sorry could you speak im sorry he had a conversation i believe it was last night with our engineer piloted out details but well incorporate those and since had 3 meeting with our engineer and his engineer and had one with the city i believe it was last week the city requested i believe it was bernie the city inspector told you to move ahead with the schedule continuing this in this condition could present the hazard weve since done that and make the changes and continue with mr. Berry in addition and continue with the foundation and support system. Mr. Functioning you were correct as mr. Duffy showed you the retaining wall if in the back part of the property i have a copy of the plan unfortunately i received them literary later this week can show you guys a copy of the planned go over the significant changes i have limited time but there are significant changed and were still cropping with mr. Bernard his engineer and the city in regard to achieve the result we ask the appeal be smitsz so we know move forward with achieving the permit and placed on the schedule weve submitted and the plans weve submitted about those changes in which mr. Berry in regards engineer has pointed out i understand those changes and the minor difference how you go about performing the work did you say shoring work was done. It was done that day there was immediate shoring that day we got someone out under the direction of the new engineer. Whats the im sure the Life Expectancy of the shoring how long is that good for. Did concern regarding the shoring that was when we were having the heavy radiance a few weeks back and the floods thats why it happened immediately i dont know how along the shoring will last but regarding the new plans to support the building. Thank you penthouse seeing none commissioners the matter is submitted. Mr. Duffy. Youre a popular guy tonight. You know this involves a couple of different review groups at your office the shoring and potentially the structural how can this effort be expedited. Assuming both party are in concurrence with the plan can we assist you to make sure everything gets done. Based on what im hearing and the conversation that the Senior Inspector im hearing a few Different Things to be acquit honest with you and i know Senior Inspector was there at the end of last week thursday or friday but im a little bit concerned about the comment of the foundation is in danger of falling i heard others gentleman say that so that will need to be Something Else well look at the thing tomorrow it should precede as as quickly as possible i dont want the suspended permit to get in the way that permit was issued definitely all wrong are to be honest the day i went there after the last hearing i passed to over to the inspector following that solicit of visit i was absolutely astounded and engineer of record to be honest i had a few sharp word it was not ready for United States to get in there all the things wrong with the project was wrong at that time, i left the project as the inspector crumb took to over last week i saw emails i was copied on in answer to our question commissioner fung whatever we can do to accommodate the board can do to xooment we dont want to hold up the suspension even though this pirate is wrong sound like we need an emergency permit to fix something pretty face ive concerned the neighbors engineers has issues with the plan i was getting he understood San Francisco construction on zero lot lines thats important when you excavate what needs to be done in relation to protecting other property i havent met the engineers but hopefully those new plans i havent seep so you would that be effective if we could get the two answers together i know we can get the process issued and the work to begin as quickly as possible well probably lucky we had a dry january in this case thats my feelings on it. Thank you so commissioner the concern i have it explicit appear theres a meeting of mind here initially both parties agree but the appellant just saw planned that his engineer didnt one hundred percent agree with here so i mean theres two issues one of safety undermining the foundation and we have an Agreement Regarding the approved engineering. Both parties are on toward especially those kinds of things extremely difficult to predict whether the soil or building motives or whether theres shaking or heavy rains my occur people brought forth in the previous discussion theres a lot of underground water i suggest this is if theres a need for an emergency upgrade of either the shoring or something to stabilize did existing foundation the department can handle that quickly if the two engineers are reasonable structure engineers and eventually theyll come to a meeting of minds perhaps what we can do then to press upon both parties to agree to the emergency strengthening at first and then the full upgrade be brought here and issue it as a condition to the permit. Okay does that makes sense. Yes. It makes sense commissioner fung our another option the new plans in may overtake the work on the permit we may end up not need this permit if this permit supercedes and makes it better we may be able to resolve this if that permit goes away. Well have to depend on our department to make that donation consumption we need to make sure that things are moving as quick as possible. Everything of everything has to be quick. Now that were moving laughter . The work, yes the permit issuance and work, yes. And, of course, the appellant can withdraw his appeal if hes satisfied with the provisions. Can i make a motion commissioner. Lets give both party one minute to see if theres major observes objections. Starting with the appellant. So i think the plan sound good my engineer and the soil owners engineer theyve worked together in the past and my engineer building this as a good engineer and requires more work the urgent matter is the shoring ive been disappointed throughout the last 2, 3, 4 months my property remains from a Poor Condition primary because of lack of enforcement in spite of what the owner tells us theres not good communication. Sir ass. The city inspector was out there and i believe the shoring is indicate what count for right now i believe that mr. Duffy is correct we moved with the foundation and those two engineers are on the same page as far as what we agreed to incorporate it so we feel comfortable. Lets formalize that so we get the patent to said that the Department Said that also, we should be able to do that quickly at this time. Okay. I hope we have to continue this. That would be the next. Overwhelm hoping they can well do it through the 11th but hopefully, theyll resolve those are things among themselves. No work except for the permit. Okay. To move forward with the project if we have this lingering would we want that. In the department has indicated there maybe with with our revised design the ability to be able to put that through an this permit i believe thats what he said if not theres the option of them issuing an emergency permit thats operate and can be expedited in my event if it didnt work until february 11th then this board has the authority to incorporate a new set of plans and design into that permit based on our authority. So the motions to continue to february 12th testifying of 11 to allow time for the parties to continue to find a resolution and permit revision. I think they dont want to come back that day. Yep. On that motion from sdmupg to continue this matter until february 11th. Commissioner president lazarus after commissioner honda. Commissioner wilson thank you. This matter is continued until february 11th and commissioner president lazarus theres no further business. Were adjourned on december 28 1912. San francisco mayor, Sonny Jim Rolph stared into the crowds of those who have gathered. A moment in history. The birth of a publicly own Transit System. San francisco municipal railway. Muni as it would become to be known. Happy birthday muni, here is to the next 100 years. The birth of muni had been a longtime coming. Over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. Horses and steam and electricpowered vehicles. Creating a hodgepodge of transit options. None of them particularly satisfying to city residents. The city Transit System like the city itself would have changes during the San Francisco earthquake. The transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change San Franciscos Transportation System once again. Facilitated by city boss, abe ruth ushering in the Electric City car. The writing was on the wall. The clammer had begun for the experiment including Public Transit people. Owned by the people and for the people. The idea of a consolidated cityowned Transit System had begun traction. And in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the peoples railway. Would become a reality three years later. On december 28 1912 mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new San Francisco railway. That he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. And San Francisco gave further incentive to expand the citys network. A project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. In december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. Just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. And k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. In 1928 the j line opened heading west to the beach. In 1944 San Francisco voters finally approved muni takeover of the Market Street railway. By then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer San Franciscos hills. After the war most of the streetcar lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. In 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. And it appeared that San Franciscos iconic cable cars had seen their final days. Entered mrs. Cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars. Arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. It passed overwhelmly. The california street Cable Railway was purchased by the city in 1952. There were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. The three lines that exist today. In 1964 the cable cars future as part of californias Transit System was sealed when it was proclaimed a National Historic landmark. In february 1980, muni metro were officially inaugurated. In that same year muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. In 1982 when the cable car had a shutdown, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. The festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent fline that would extend all the way to fishermans wharf, by 2000 the fline was in place. And in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. For the first time in 60 years. In the course of last 100 years, munis Diverse Workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. Munis groundbreaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. The citys policy mandates the course for the future as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce reduce the carbon footprint. It continues to improve the systems. During this sen centennial year we reflect on the Transit System. Driven not. Chairman nolan and Cristina Rubke we have is quorum item 3.
