Comment probation officer now. Thanks commissioners the article described the details in the system the Planning Department went live in other of last year and dbi has been detailed due to some process issues between them and the vendors weve set up a for lack of a better word a work around to wait for them to become live one of the issues well have to address in the coming months when we go live with the public assess xhoenlt of the system what were considering that at this point. Could you at some point i explain to us in terms of how it might make our own work harder or if it doesnt matter it will be good to stay on track for whatever additional work do you have to do nerd to help with the best results. Ill be happy to do that thank you. Commissioner antonini. I know not within our jurisdiction but would like to get an update on what parking and traffic has planned for mosaic avenue youve heard stories limiting the number of lanes of traffic or eliminate the parking and put in bike lanes thats the only conduit northsouth by car it moves fairly well but still crowded if they minimize that state will make that difficult for people to get from one side of the city unfortunately, no Public Traffic that moves north and south so people get into their cars im interested in hearing about that the other things ive brought up what were doing with land in the Livermore Valley near the city of pollutant it on the city owns this land for years and years public works and the Spring Valley Water Company talking to a friend the city of San Francisco sold month to the city of pleasant ton im wondering we deal with land use within the citys possessions of land outside the city what is it sold sea how much and what was the thinking i understand a portion of that land still owned by the city of San Francisco but not a very large portion but certainly it being welldeveloped we could could have done that ourselves so, now interested findings out. Commissioner richards ill be brief on the online tracking system director rahaim between activities between planning and dbi that could be looked at this is why things take long it is a good overview why buy a permit and into the ground it is a valuable tool can you comment on that. Sure yeah, the system allows us to a very detailed time keeping potential where every step the process is logged in essentially not only between us and dbi but the city and the project sponsor and so every step that is. Revolutionary what understanding what goes on. Commission im sorry. I think before youre arrival to the commission a few of us did by the time to testing we sampled the field and an opportunity for you to understand the benefit youre right on track. A couple of more things why when we were on break i experienced trying to get into the bay bridge one morning to deboss to the actual bridge took 45 minutes were approving the projects the project sponsor has a transportation issue not catching the way the process works with potrero hill we agreed with has a right one by one parking a lesson we cannot add residents and parking make sure the transportation catches up and people start right lane and people use the cars not more regular daily use especially the super bowl coming up another thing i read comedian did an article on the Density Bonus Program what is a comedian doing this was in the capillary on sunday the 29 actually on target articular that covered issues by the community and if you have not had a chance to read it look at it i saw the mayor a encouraging an update on Affordable Housing weve been struggling and further and further in the hole i read an article an exchange for a give back to make the process more efficient im wasting in terms of public review or lack of public review maybe efficiency in the system once a permit tracking system up and then lastly i applaud supervisor wiener for calling a last minute meeting not there for the people in terms of register but Fertile Ground in the stent of the problem and this is a wellthoughtout idea i cant thank you. Commissioner moore. inaudible . The volume lower than usually. One point on the directors long list of issues the commemorating and emergency erroneous during the tour bus minds on union square the entire city 10 blocks literally came to a standstill i was concerned this means in an acute emergency of whatever consequence perhaps raise that question at some point.

subdivision approval is done by dpw the issues raise by the appellant the proposed subdivision will divide it into had the primary concern adding four houses is out of scale and staff relied the subdivision creating 3 lots instead of 4 may result in 3 larger homes the Planning Department contend that believe more homes is better for the neighborhood and on code complying lots is better because of the housing crisis accident issues raised by the appellant are best as part of the review and not part of the subdivision request all 40 homes will be are reviewed by the Planning
