Of wines [inaudible] im involve would the Business Owners selling off sell liquor in the following business. Bristol farms, [inaudible] dean, fine wine and liquor on market street, target and wall greens various location downtop town. We are concerned about security. It is right near the montgomery bart station and transbay center. This is easy for people to take the alcohol and take it to another part of the community. The Business Owners have no track regard in california so dont if they are aware of the laws in california as well as thei dont what their affiliations are bayed on the board packet to the downtown area. I wonder about the Community Outreach and how much was done because i dont see letters of support from community organizations. I hear some might have come in later but they were not in the board packet that was posted to the public. The names on the Liquor License are all from out of state and this is actuallyput down what it is. This is a superstore selling 4 thousand selectionoffs wines and spirits serving the publicthere are 3 outlets within a square block socthis isnt necessary thank you for testifying andjust to cet to the trace you have no recommendation . The think is we would like continuance because i dont know what outreach they did and we want to be neutral. We just dont understand this kind of thank you. Seeing no other Public Comment ill close Public Comment. Let me weigh in i appreciate the presentation from the flat iron wine squz appreciate the thoughtfulness in the proposal. There does seem to be Significant Community concerns raised. Lutenent [inaudible] walked us throthu through the transfer of license to west port al to their yiria of the downtown area that is raised by the concerns. I feel as a Public Policy that when you have especially areas that are with large loincome populations that surround it like soufth market or the tenderloin we shouldnt increase the number of licenses in those areas. As a Public Policy that is a concern of mine. That is one of the main reasons besides the Community Concerns about this that im not supportive of this transfer. I think to move this forward ill motion that we table this item so i move we table this item for those reasons j. Supervisor christensen this is all most in my District Across the street. We did investigation so i have a empty store front which we dont like in a hotel 23u silty. I have spoken to supervisor kim who didnt object to this. We established this isnt a off sale liquor situation and i am sympathetic to mr. Mick noltys concern but we remember the controversy about Bristol Farms and had more problems in the wall green south of market than we are likely to have hat this location. I look as this a business that is appropriate in this area and i take very seriously the concerns about another Liquor License. I understand from supervisor kims office they made attempt to actually help the applicant find a existing lice ins in the district and not able to do so so there is a attempt to do that. I watched people make earnest efforts to do business and been twarted as t at this stage. Because of for visor kims lack of objection my imication is approve thix or send to the board supervisor campos i think i want to go now because it comes down to me and this committee. I think it is not a clear case from my perspective. I understand what lutenent fal zone z saying and i think that in many respects the argument makes sense. The bottom line for me though and i have said this from the very beginning of my role on this committee when i was chair of the committee that that thofend day to me it all comes down to Community Support for a license and i think that for me that means that there has to be a yes from the community to make smns happen. I am concerned in this case you have a neutral supervisor not saying one way or the other and im concerned so many members of the community have come out. I appreciate there may have been letters subsequent to putting together this package there is no one from the xhunty who is coming here and saying we support this in this hearing. I do worry that in the end this will culminate in one additional license in the neighborhood. For me and i guess what it comes down to to support a license there has to be support from the District Supervisor and community. In this case there is no objection, but no support from the dist rth supervisor or the community for that matter so given where it is i will be inclined to agree with supervisor mar. I think that if there is a opportunity to get another license from within the neighborhood that i think it would be a different matter for me but that is where i am. I would be supporting supervisor mars motion there are no other caunlts, let rr have a roll call on the motion to taiblt camp pose aye. Christensen, no. Mar, aye. We have 2 ayes and supervisor christensen dissenting thank you. Is there any other business before us mr. Evans . We have item number 3 mr. Chair.

We realize 60 percent of the buildings target td by the legislation we are seeing the fires within were built before 1940 and that number riseed to 86 percent for buildings greater than 7 units built before 1970. We va745 to 75 year span between the time those buildings were built and the Fire Protection requirements required then and what is required today of new construction of apartment buildings. With respect to reto active provision if fire provision provided by the San Francisco housing code those provision have not amended or updated since the 1960so it is long over due so these prirements and the other recommendations be reviewed and analyzed in the confecs of this legislation.
