000900 [Minor Sidewalk Encroachment Permit Appeal]
Motion approving the decision of the Director of Public Works’ approval of a minor sidewalk encroachment permit at 160 Yerba Buena Avenue, and denying the appeal. (Clerk of the Board)
Supervisor Katz moved to amend the title, line 5, after "appeal" by adding "; making findings".

Amend line 14, by inserting "Further Moved, That the Board of Supervisors makes the following findings:

1. Based on the testimony of the member of the Department of Public Works and members of the public heard at the Board of Supervisors on June 5, 2000, we find that the subject minor sidewalk encroachment permit is required for the safety, convenience and comfort of the public using the sidewalk.The current light pillar blocks the vision of automobiles that enter and leave the driveway at 160 Yerba Buena Avenue, and the current placement of the light pillar results in damages to vehicles which exit and enter the driveway.The Board finds that the alternative of widening the driveway does not work in that it would cause the removal of an underground TV Cable vault beneath the sidewalk.

2. Based on the testimony of the Department of Public Works and members of the public heard at the Board of Supervisors on June 5, 2000, we find that the subject minor sidewalk encroachment permit is convenient for the abutting property owner Michael Acabado in conjunction with such owner’s use and enjoyment of his abutting property, for the purposes stated above.

3. In considering the issuance of permits under the provisions of Section 723.2 of the Public Works Code, the Board has considered the location, neighborhood pattern, anticipated pedestrian and vehicle traffic access requirement of the Fire Department, and the convenience and necessities of the owners, occupants and tenants of properties in the vicinity."
