B. DEPARTMENT MATTERS
1. Director’s Announcements
Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
I don't believe you have a director's report this week in your packet; happy to forward any questions you have to the director should you have them.2. Review of Past Events at the Planning Commission, Staff Report and Announcements
Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
A few items to share with you, no formal report from the Planning Commission; however, a few comments on some outstanding items at the Board of Supervisors and other hearings. First of all, I want to mention that the department staff joined Shane Watson and Donna Graves in accepting a governor's award for the LGBTQ Historic Context Statement on November 10th, was held at the Clooney Community Center up in Sacramento and I have a copy of the program which also outlines the other recipients, but we were happy to share the experience with the consultants on, as you know, a wonderful document that's very useful for the Department and the City. Also, at the Government Audit and Oversight Committee, three Mills Act contracts were considered recently: 1338 Filbert, the Filbert Street Cottages, 1036 Vallejo Street and 101-105 Steiner. The Vallejo and Steiner applications went forward with a positive recommendation to the full board. However, Susan Brandt Holly and Mike Mueller were in attendance at the hearing and voiced concern during public comment for 1338 Filbert Street. A couple of the items that concerned them or issues that concern them were: one, they felt that because the cottages which are city landmark had to be substantially rebuilt and as part of that project there is a very large addition and a very large both rear addition and underground or below grade addition or expansion to the property. They were concerned about a building of this size being eligible for the program. Secondly, Susan Brandt Holly unclear about who exactly she was representing at that hearing voiced concern about the fact that the four units had been removed from the site as part of the conditional use authorization which as you know happened a number of years ago. The discussion then moved more towards the removal of those units rather than historic preservation issues and the committee voted to table the item. So, right now department staff and the supervisor's office for that district is working with the applicant and the committee to see if there's anything that can be addressed so that the contact can be moved forward through the process to the full board. Also, tomorrow the final Mills Act Contract that you reviewed and approved for 361 Oak St. will be considered but we don't anticipate any issues with that hearing. Certainly keep you posted on that. Finally, I wanted to make you aware that tomorrow, also, BCDC is meeting and they are going to consider the expansion of the water transit facilities located next to the ferry terminal. This is a project that this commission reviewed and provided comments on two separate times and they will take up the item at their hearing tomorrow. We will certainly check back in with them and let you know what the outcome of that hearing is and that concludes my comments unless you have any questions.

Commissioner Johnck:
I attended the California Preservation Foundations workshop on November 7th, it was a day long workshop held at the Port of San Francisco assessing the topic of safety and resiliency in buildings and what was interesting is that they had some excellent experts. The whole morning session was dedicated to discussion of the fact that resiliency is different from safety and the term of art now is local governments around the United States with the assistance of several nonprofit organizations and building councils, etc., are recommending some ratings systems for how fast buildings would recover in the face of a disaster: flooding, seismic and earthquake and that kind of thing. Then the afternoon was discussing, well, what about historic preservation? How are they-how are local governments surrounding the United States looking at how historic preservation factors into resiliency? In fact the building speakers representing the national building organization in oh historic preservation is going backwards. We're worried that there's going to be a lot of rating systems are going to encourage local governments to do better jobs in setting seismic safety standards for building materials and rehab, but in the middle of it we're going to have historic buildings landmarks that become kind of a resiliency island. They showed some pictures of a possibility that, I think this more on the east coast, where there's one little, the whole area around this one little building was demolished, but this one building was actually still standing up which was an interesting reflection on this topic. But, I think what we encourage the attendees and the Historic Preservation Foundation encourages more discussion about looking at how our Secretary of Interior Standards for Design, how we are approaching it. We, meaning the public, and whether historic preservation guidelines are keeping up with a recovery standard with the recovery time kind of factor into design, so, this just something for us to consider in the future. The Port of San Francisco, we took a walk along the seawall and discussed the vulnerability and how that assessment is going on, discussed some of the building issues on the piers, and etc. So it's a big topic and it was edifying so I encourage us to consider it further at some point.**Hearing Cancellation: December 21, 2016
