ways. the bond description does not go into that level of detail. there is an area included in the park with the expansion of the new entry that is now under construction. that is the only one that i know that contemplates the use. i think it is probably possible in the pier 70 areas, although they are not to that level of detail at this point in time. there are none in any of the other open spaces. it has to do with the level of intensity of use. >> the one i am thinking of his warm water cove. >> there may be spaces for that to be accomplished in the future. >> that is an idea we could go forward with with the planning begins. >> thank you. >> public like to thank you and the whole planning staff and park and recreation for allowing

us to be a part of this bond measure. i think the 2008 measure was a huge success, and we have a lot of beautiful open space along the waterfront, so thank you again. i hope this is equally as successful. >> i would agree with what the commissioner just said. i think it is exciting to see the open space development. hopefully we will get this passed. i think it really complete the waterfront the way we would like to see it. thank you very much. >> item 10a, request approval of lease #l-15108 with golden bear restaurant company, a mission rock resort, for a 15- year rest at least for premises located at 817 terry a. fritz is boulevard subject to board of supervisors' approval. >> senior property manager for

president woo ho: all in favor? >> any public comment? motion is carried. >> i do have a question. i want to thank mr. osborn for fighting this out of bankruptcy and working to make as a destination point hopefully. i want to know, is there any word on when you may be closing on the liquor license? or if you do not get a liquor license, then what happens? >> the long answer is this process has been anything but traditional. the short answer is that i have

an elected to close escrow prior to the actual transfer of the license as a gesture of good faith and goodwill to the porch. those documents have been executed by both parties involved. the trustee has received a final payment, and i am itching to get started as quickly as possible. with that said, but that is a conversation to have within port stack. -- staff. everything is in place. there is no more due diligence to be done as far as the allocation of funds to debtors. just a question of when i can get started. >> thank you. president woo ho: commissioner crowley has recused himself. i think we are prepared to vote. the motion has been carried. >> i am looking forward to rest

interested since it is next to pier 80 in an area not in the neighborhood that that would be reconsidered? to make it more of a destination? >> the history was that the prior operator had issues, and the police has asked us specifically not to allow that type of use in that location? we have had issues there. president woo ho: any other questions from other commissioners? >> just to the commissioners point, is there a way of putting it that currently it is prohibited unless it is some point in the future we would agree to authorize those uses might occur? >> absolutely. i would not say it goes to the character of the neighborhood. i think it went to the control of the specific operator and

someone who had more control. we could address that in the least. >> we understand the economics in terms to provide the opportunity whoever came in and son operator to extract a little bit more revenue in terms of the nighttime activity. it is not affecting the neighborhood, but i understand issue of control, and they would have to have adequate control not to make it issue. ready to pass the motion to approve? all in favor? approval has been passed. thank you. >> item 11a informational presentation on ports issuance of a request for qualifications to provide water taxi service at the port of san francisco.

>> peter daly, director of maritime at the port. this is an informational presentation on a topic we've talked about for a number of years regarding water taxis. san francisco is california's leading passenger port between 3 million carry passenn ferry pasd hundreds of thousands of cruise passengers. for a number of years people have talked about the idea of a water taxi service on san francisco. and water taxis have been a very popular means of transportation in a number of the world's port cities. three years ago the port, began exploring the idea of a water taxi operations in a more concrete way. we organized a meeting of interested parties, and we hired

a consultant to analyze market demand, identify possible locations and qualifications of water taxi services. we also recommended minimal bustle and opera ration -- operational requirements. subsequently, the port issued an rfi on the waterfront in 2009. we received a three responses, only one of which operate -- pauperized and operating agreement. -- one of which authorize an operating agreement. it became clear the economic situation would make it clear for the water taxi to obtain financing to fund the

procurement of vessels necessary for sufficient operation, and the agreement ended without operation being put into place. in hindsight, it is now pretty clear that the difficult economic climate of 2009-2010 played an important role in the difficulty that we had in finding an operator in that timeframe. port staff felt it would be prudent to wait to seek another water taxi operator with the specification of a better overall economic climate. timing is everything. we think that time is now. the san francisco's waterfront has seen many new and exciting improvements in the next few years. dan talked-about them in the previous item. we will celebrate the 150th bounding celebration of the port. -- founding.

the significance will help drive significant increase tin traffic to our port. obviously the leading attraction will be the third fourth america's cup races, which will start this summer. the introduction of a sustainable water taxi service has become a meaningful transportation component of the america's cup races. it will become a new maritime attraction to san francisco's waterfront. i want to thank peter albert and lesh curshner for a lot of work towards this request for us to go forward and issue another rfi. having said all of that, the port stepped wishes to request water taxi service. given the positive changes
