400 PAUL AVENUE

Bayview Hill Neighborhood Association - There is a lack of interest from the community because he believes the community doesn?t understand the technology of cell phone communications. - There are some health problems with using cell phones. Sprint PCS has assured that digital technology is less harmful. - There have been 5 installations approved in the area, some include antennas, switching stations/transition stations, etc.

Project Architect

- The language notification is an issue. - The meetings were held in the Mission District, yet Metricom stated they didn?t know most of the residents spoke other languages. Yet, the district is mostly Hispanic. - Most of the people who attended the meetings were English-speaking residents because they understood the notice. She believes that there would have been more residents who could have attended the meeting if the notices were bilingual.

- She quoted a statement from the Planning Department Guidelines on antennas. - If this application is approved, there will be 22 antennas in one location, making the location an antenna farm. - She would like to request from the Board of Supervisors that they pass legislation that no more antennas would be installed at this location.

- She would like to address the fact that the posters placed on the site of the building were incorrect since 1045 Capp Street is a Senior Citizen center for Latinos. - Although the site is a preference 1 location, it is only because there is a Pacific Bell building. - She would like to request a variance be sought for this building.

Architect for Project - The project is for a 4 unit building. - This project would demolish a smaller building. - These units will be townhouse units. - They met with the neighbors and there was no opposition.

- He inspected the building and concluded that the building was in bad shape. - Everything about the building is unserviceable.

- When was the CU notice taken down? She referred several people in the Mission District and they couldn?t figure out where the site was. - CU signs are supposed to stay up until the hearing.

- She walked by the site and didn?t see the notice either. - The design of the house will be a townhouse style which makes it non-affordable. - Affordable housing is so important in the Mission District as well as throughout the City.

- People knew of the site of this construction. - Who took the notice down? That is the question. - A homeowner owned the current building. The new construction will make the site into 4 units.

Staff did a great job with this project.

- There was a letter which was sent to Ali Goss. - He has taken a stand on exactions. - He has never agreed with evictions, he didn?t know that one of the members of his organization had purchased the building. He finds it disturbing that the rent of the tenants had been increased.

- Notices were provided in English, Spanish and Cantonese - A total of 7 people attended community meetings and their questions and issues were addressed. - Residents within 300 feet were notified.

- He works with the organization and believes they are a very professional organization. - He Would like to have project approved.

Reuben and Alter - This application was filed over a year ago and has gone through many changes. - The project complies with all the IPZ resolutions, residential requirements, no variances are required, etc. - This will be a positive contribution to the neighborhood. - He, as well as the project architect, is available for any questions.

- He owns the warehouse at 1050 Mississippi. - This project will be an improvement all around.

- She lives on Mississippi. - She is also concerned about the height of the building. They look like lofts. - She would like to have a restriction imposed so there is no overnight sleeping in the industrial units. This would protect them from the overuse of size in residential. - The street is very jammed during the day. This project should have its own loading dock.

- The 12-foot door is in compliance and is a requirement by the City. - There is no problem for cars to move in and out of the garage.

Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association - The attorney for the project sponsor sent him the revised parking information. At first he didn't have a problem but now he does. - Parking does not work. It will be difficult to get a car in and cars out. - He recommends taking a bathroom and moving it next to the men's bathroom and moving the wet bar into the office. This would give five more feet.

Reuben and Alter – Representing Project Sponsor - He submitted revised parking information. - He is available for questions.
