they agreed that the level of environmental review what effect these historic resources, and no significant impact has been identified. the staff published this on june 22 and the public comments closes on august 8. for those of you who wish to comment, written comments should be presented to the environmental review officer by 5:00 p.m., august 8. four members of the public to provide comments, please state your name and address, as the comments and response document may be sent to you. please speak clearly so the court reporter can have an accurate transcript. and the accuracy -- we will

also take any comments from the draft e.i.r. they will all be transcribed and responded to in the comments and responses document. the planning department will provide a copy to those requests to see this. this concludes my presentation and unless you have any questions, i would ask that the public hearing be opened. thank you. >> we open up for public comment? we have no speaker cards. >> sue hester. can i explain an issue ommitted by the staff? ok, i will use it against my time. this site was not posted in compliance with the rules. 801 brannan has one building

site on 7th street. this is the secondary entrance and this was ripped off. six days after the document was released, the only visible sign, if you walk around the block, the building itself was not posted. nobody knows what this is like, going through this process. the concourse is where this is held and nobody knows about this. the building was finally posted on the sixth of july. a couple of weeks later -- they should have had 60 days of commons because of the scope of the project. it was given 45 days and most of them did not have postings on the most critical building the public is interested in, people

go to this but did not know that this is going to be demolished. that is my time. this is an 824 dwelling unit project, with 799 parking spaces. they are planning something i have never seen, they say that they will have extra parking because of the contractual obligation because of the prior sales of the property. this basically has one ownership, and they have contracted the sale. they say they need 166 extra parking spaces. there should be an analysis of the project that does not have the parking spaces because they're not supposed to be given incentives to have parking entitlements. this is a project between a couple of freeway systems, and i

use this page, the page that shows the transit lines. these lines, all of those in yellow, they are not there very often. the 47 is a good line. right around here, this does not really provide adequate transit service and i will do a written comment on this. there is no project application so you cannot get any information on this project. they have been allowed to proceed without filing an application. we do not know the details of this project and i am trying to understand this. thank you. >> the good evening. on behalf of the housing action

coalition, we had a presentation on this yesterday, and this is unusual to us, in that it did not have a detailed design, but it had the map laid out for the site, and david baker was there. we saw an excellent presentation. we are very interested here and we have known about this for years. this got held up, not only by the evolution of the eastern neighborhoods, but the last business cycle. this is a terrific opportunity, and we look forward to following this. this will be significant because this has been recognized as the poster child of land dedication, with a fabulous opportunity for subsidized and affordable housing on this, carving off a large chunk of the site, with the mayor's office

and housing. we would love to see the density blown out and we would love to have a lot of housing in this location. there was a lot of enthusiasm and we want to follow this. >> and is there additional public comment? public comment is closed. >> we have written comments, but as something brief right now, i was shown, and very early, drawings of a project on the site, by bill and mary murphy. this could have been 10 years ago. this has of all to ever since then, to the eastern neighborhoods projects and the process and through the economy. as well as what else has been happening in the immediate

neighborhood, including one of david baker's projects. that is through the area, actually. the public has known about this for a very long time. the neighborhood association has known about this for a very long time. i actually look forward to seeing the more current iterations and details as they come forward. >> commissioner? >> this is much like a project we had earlier, and this was probably 2003 or 2004, and these held up during the eastern neighborhood situation. and so, this is a pleasant surprise that we finally see them coming forward, and i see

some of the rendering sirrah, and from what i see these look very good. this is not what we're here for. we will have comments on the environmental draft and the impact report, and will be able to send in the comments, and we will take responses and see the project after this is completed. commissioner moore: i look at this as a program e.i.r. with the particular time that this stance, and the architects with the original sketches are not even in business anymore. be that as it may, i would very much like to see this with some

of the ideas that came in with the eastern neighborhood. this is tempered by the strong issues that underlie building in this neighborhood. quite a few things have changed. this falls within the policy decisions that we have made an i am concerned, relative to the deal, that this raises my concerns because we have a number of powerful systems, in this area. these need to be challenged, and they work with this commission very well, anyway. i would like to see the quality

of the aspects to be more in line of what can be done, because there is as intense to create projects that challenge what they ask for us to do. >> i think we do have to pay careful attention to the final eastern neighborhoods decisions, because there were details, and may involve this and the allowances as part of the eastern neighborhood. this is not an exception. this is in line, even when the supervisors were there. >> this is part of the dialogue, -- >> that is what they had in the square. commissioner sugaya: as we are

looking into the parking, there is the environmental impact. we will have to take this up at the time it comes through with the project. >> and is there any sign of an extension for the comments? >> my understanding is that this was posted. excuse me. my understanding is that this was posted and some of the signs were removed at some time in the process. sequa allows the choice of three different kinds of posting. this was legally posted and notified, based on everything that we know, -- >> this is correct. the requirement is actually one of the falling, with

publications of an ad in the newspaper, on and around the site, with the occupants and the continuous properties. my understanding is that these were posted, but posting at the acquisition hall was removed, and when we were made aware of this i spoke to sean murphy. this was remedied within three or four days. i have also discussed this with the city attorney. we have complied. i guess that would extend this to the 15th. >> commissioner moore: if this

is what they are describing, i would not see any reason to extend this period we are all leaving on the 11th, and any staff members after us, -- >> i do not understand. >> commissioners, if that is all, we can move to public comment. members of the public -- this is within the subject matter and the jurisdiction of the commission. and i have no speaker cards.

>> i went through the files of next week's hearing, and i was not certain about the rules. i want to read the current rules. this is due to the commission two weeks in advance of the hearing. i keep bringing this up. we have 120 unit projects, and this is not a complicated case because this is what you should have considered on the triangle. if you look at these rules, you are allowed one week. on a d.r. and a c.u. this is not a c.u. this is a major project if you

have one here. like the project today, the others that have been cont roversial. the staff rdisregards this. everything is two weeks in the rules. and i ask the planning director to start enforcing the rules. thank you. >> and is there any additional public comment? general public, and is closed and the meeting is adjourned.
