. these would be the existing residents. some would not get to that benefit. we are walking through some of the benefits here. this shows that no matter where the existing residential areas are, there are about 80 units that can be occupied. there are about hundred 20 residents. there are 725 units on treasure island, 250 of them are operated by -- and there are partially some 200 residents. we have talked to them. the first benefit, the first

option is to get a new rental unit. that is built and a new building built by -- obviously they can go up from there to the time they have to move. if some people got married or the care givers, there is also an option to take a payment depending on the number of residents in the household. there is an option to have assistance to buy a new unit. we would put a down payment that is equal to the option. those who opt for that would be eligible to jump in front of the

line and put an offer down on the new unit. we have tried to make some assumptions on who or what will remain on the options that they take. this is a $40 million plot. there are those that have been there for a decade. it is important to provide these elements. people were notified that they were moving into a redevelopment area. it was time to build out the island. so, we have rules and regulations that we have drafted and as part of the document, we will have that

approved by -- we have had some good feedback from residents. we have made a lot of changes to that plan over the last couple of months. there has been a pretty good response. that concludes our presentation. thank you. >> open it up for public comment. >> good evening, commissioners. i have served this city a couple

of decades ago as head of the arts commission. when i decided to take it easy, i was recruited to to help save the treasure of the museum and by president of the treasure island museum association. the museum opened in 1975 as a temporary bicentennial and lasted until 1997. at that time, the navy had, as part of the closure, did closed the museum and carefully wrapped everything from that. they are stored safely. the areas in the exhibit was with how the island was built and to the bridges. there is the exposition which celebrated the opening half.

then, the pan-american clippers. anything else, the navy. however, we were close to. we were able to go back there about three years ago and start having some -- and we are fortunate that we have started working closely with the developer. we have had meetings to discuss how the museum fits in with this plan. there shall be a museum on treasure island. i am very happy to say that we are going forward. there is enthusiasm from the developers because we understand that this island is too important to be without some kind of cultural core. we bring 21st technology, not

just relying on the past but to dealing with the ideas of sustainability and green practices in accordance with what is happening on the island as a whole. we are pleased with the support and enthusiasm of the developers and we have been following this plan for 17 years. it is wonderful to have the support of the city and the developers in this. thank you. >> good evening. i have been involved with many projects including one that is out there that you don't know about. my reason for coming is that i want to congratulate double-team for the great work they have done. last thursday night, i attended a meeting in the mission

district, the planning department had staff come out and engage to the community. obviously, it was a tremendous meeting. caltrans was there. we sat around and brainstorm. my reason for coming is a procedural request. i know that you have citizen advisory participation. not many know how to link up with that. i would like to ask that you make that possible. give us a chance to contribute from our experience and some ideas.

the we have the civics center project which was paid for by the epa. that would bring this project money. we need money to make this work. we would like to recycle the bay bridge into treasure island. currently, caltrans will not even discussed for that is going. that still belongs to us. why can't we recycle it? why can't we build a treasure island with this steel? that would save this project quite a bit of money. obviously, caltrans has to give us better access. it is difficult to exit and access. we need caltrans participation to do that. we need muni to help us with adequate bus service for people that will live out there. they have to be able to access the city.

muni is starting a beautiful new facility. maybe they need a similar one on treasure island. this is something that we would like to throw out as an idea. obviously, the port will have to be involved. with this meeting -- this many people needing access to the city, this is very difficult to maneuver with coast guard and other regulations. we need the involvement of the port. there will be a need for a school. that many people in an area with restricted access, we need a hospital than the. all of us are leaders. when we work together, we are much more effective.

i am asking that a simple procedure is allowed to submit ideas. thank you. >> is there additional public comment? >> good evening. i am representing the san francisco green party. you can reference most of what i will say in the sixth page comments that i sent to the environmental impact report. there was some big issues with this that are completely unresolved. this is a 21st century. the greenhouse gas situation is an emergency. the eir prepared for this project.

this allowed for major increases in greenhouse gases and that is not a situation and we need to have an aggressive negation of greenhouse gas releases. currently, and there are people who live on the island to cannot grow food in their soil. for what i've seen, that will continue. there will be soil conditions where the residents will not be able to plant gardens in the soil. once again, this is a 21st century. we need all of the soil to be sufficiently claimed. liquefaction, the only compaction that will happen will

be where the towers are built. if there is a major earthquake, the buildings my stand-up but if the entire remainder falls out from underneath them, that is not a good situation. this brings me to the biggest issue which is currently in the eir, there is an assumption that the highest possible. james hansen things as possible to have 16.5 feet. in the eir documents, the planners say that they will plan for the fifth to 6 inches and if it goes higher, we will use

adopted management. the economics of this project, the height which of 60 feet. kidd will be totally changed. the must account for this in the bill the plan and the phasing plan. this has to be clear be laid out. please include an environmental groups at the beginning of this process so we get more input that we got at the beginning. >> thank you. is there additional public comment? >> thank you. the project is dear to my heart. i did ask the developer who currently has a training facility on site that we used

and i asked what would you plan for that civility. they said, we will definitely use it because we will need it. we are excited about that. i like their plan, what they want to do for the current residents out there that they have in place. this is in the right direction. the affordability, 30%. obviously, this is a step in the right direction. we like to plan. this is good for the city and county of san francisco. thank you. >> is there any additional public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> in some of the new were

renderings, it looks like there might be a lake. i'm not sure of that is planned. this might be compatible with the restraints. that might be useful. if it was 2,000 meters, you could have crew races. this is a good use and it would be a consistent use. another recreational use is the athletic fields which i think can probably be put into the plan as designed. it might involve moving some agricultural areas in a different direction but they put time and money into those fields. if there is a way to keep those in use.

visitors must have a place to park. you need a robust ferry service to get people in and out of their. better access on and off of the bridge. this is beginning to be more and more of a hazard. the job corps should remain but i think you should be able to keep the same number of trainees and provide all of the same services but not have as much square footage because i think it could be done more efficiently. i don't know what of the general position is there but we don't want to decrease the program. maybe it could be done in a more efficient way.

i am very happy with the affordable standards. i assume that there will be a supportive issues as far as job training and education and the other things that go with housing. there was mention of a school there. this one is active. some kind of health care facility and police and fire which should be part of the plan. pau>> the phasing is the key

introductory step to this development. i applaud that effort. >> i think the plan has come a long very very well. i was pleased to hear comments and i will have to talk to you later because a middle distance cousin of mine is one of the -- of the fair. i think that some of the work is still around. the building is perfect for that, obviously. i would be interested later on as we get through this to learn

a little bit more about what is planned. >> do we know what the disposition of the job corps is? >> the job corps intends to remain there and we had conversations with them over the years. there are attempts to remain there and continue to operate. >> maybe this is for a different meeting i know at candlestick, hunters point, there is the opportunity on the part of the master developers to parcel out

different blocks or areas to other developers and the opportunity for the architects working with those developers. is that similar in this case? >> absolutely. they would have the ability to transfer phases. they would remain as the master developers. as far as specific prospects, the intent is that they would sell lots and we would be dealing with a vertical developers. >> there was a slide that was shown with respect to what state lance was going to retain jurisdiction on. then, there is a whole area that they will not retain jurisdiction on. that has just been negotiated

with them. >> and treasure island is part of the state lands overlay. this is much like the shipyard where we have swept -- swap parts of the training ground. we have made that internal swap. >> this project will not be in the developing anymore.

i would very much like to ask that this commission, this was a fourth-leading idea. i would like to see a meeting between the public utilities, the trans authority. just to talk about how they are seeing this. this is not to interfere at all with what they need to do with the redevelopment project which is very clear and all the mechanisms are in place. i am interested to look ahead. if there are many things that we should be involved in the dialogue, this would be the time. this is a learning experience. we don't have many projects as large as this one.

the redevelopment agency is formed around this project. this is a fair question, so i'm looking at the department where anyone else. i am personally quite interested. >> we have scheduled to be before the public you to -- public utilities to discuss the project. they have been with us throughout this whole process and defining the infrastructure requirements. they are the ones that operate

the fees. the city comes in and they are the operator. >> this particular commission sits in dialogue with most commissions and to that we do the best and most forward- looking things. >> thank you. that's it. >> is there no further commission comments? that concludes the hearing. >> we do have another meeting on the project scheduled for march 3rd. thank you. >> you are now at the general public comment. >> is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public

comment is closed and the meeting is adjourned.
