AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY FORUM/SUBCOMMITFEE REPORTS COMMUNITY FORUM/SUBCOMMITTEE RE- PORTS Mayor Mullin related: one of the adventures and pleasures is in being close to the constituency and the two issues being addressed after many letters from residents are aircraft noise and the Terrabay Phase III; there was an aircraft noise meeting with the Council Subcommittee and Director of the Air- port Martin; the third issue are the comments re- ceived on the coverage of the Council meetings by TCI; he is particularly concerned that at the Council meeting two weeks ago, where we had a full com- plement of cameramen for a meeting that did not go out over the air live; Council did not know that, and that evening at least one of the Council announced there would be a BART meeting on Thursday morn- ing following the Council meeting; the next night the meeting was broadcast, without notification, with the simulation, there was going to be a BART meet- ing the next morning and people showed up for the meeting; it subsequently was shown last week as a delayed broadcast and more people showed up for the BART meeting; he has understanding of techni- cal problems, but why no education on the screen on the fixed events for the next day; he feels that was unconscionable, because we do not know if it is going out live; Council can request that Doug Schacher appear before this Body, for TCI is our franchisee and there is a question of quality and there are rate increases; many people view the Council meetings on TV and this is not a standard of others in the past. Councilman Fernekes stated he received numerous calls, he is embarrassed for he is the one that com- plemented TCI for listening to his concerns and having two cameramen, and tonight there is one cameraman. He stated it was embarrassing, as well as the meeting for the next day, etc. Councilmember Matsumoto related: attended a meeting with Dave Valkenaar, John Martin and John Costa and feels they are coming close to a partner- ship, and hopes to keep the dialogue open; she at- tended the legislative committee meeting, the Com- mittee endorsed Senator Kopp's Bill, but it didn't make it out of the Committee; another Bill of inter- est is SB 1922; Councilman Fernekes was put up and it was given to the Treasurer of the City of San Francisco for BCDC; BCDC deals with land use 5/27/98 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY FORUM/SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS ITEMS FROM COUNCIL 10.

Mr. Rob Kent, Standard Building Company, stated this is basically called a track development, but it is now a semi custom home to meet the requirements. He stated there are three small bedrooms on the upper floor with walls that can be moved out or in so, it is normally as one large room based on the buyer's needs. He stated sometimes they want a home sound system downstairs and they put in a custom cabinet and a sound system. Sometimes they want a pool room, a family or computer room and they do away with the closet. The smaller room is 10X10 and when you combine two bedrooms, you eliminate the closets, etc. Discussion followed: the developer received five calls to remove the trees, which Councilwoman Matsumoto thought unusual; some people want the privacy the trees provide, but now with El Nino people are afraid of trees falling over and taking the house with it; others are concerned about the pine needles clogging their spouts, plus the trees are old and some are diseased and others because of the grading there is root damage; the developer is going to save every tree he can save; residents on Romney requested small units be considered due to the square footage; mitigation measures were taken for the homes on Romney.
