expertise to the pier 70 wide effort and they will be assisted by emily wisk who is also with the office of economic and workforce development. so in closing, i wanted to talk previously about some of the areas that will really benefit from coordination with city departments and in the ability that economic and workforce developments have to bring in and make it easier for work with other city departments. we are going to be one of the key issues related to the development of pier 70 obviously is the historic pier preserve vasing. we have been working on the draft of a nomination and an application and it is the pier 70 can eventually become added to the national register of

historic places. and that is going to involve working closely with the planning department, historic preserve ation and the staff and the state historic office and others. but, honestly, oewd will play a key role in bringing in the city departments into those negotiations. >> public trusts, they are, pier 70 is a patch work of trust and non-trust lands that will need to be realigned to make for implementation of a plan that you just saw, there was recent legislation there was state legislation passed that creates a pathway to that. burr it is going to involve, in addition to the ports that the city attorney, the state lands commission staff, of course our development partners, again,

there will be important coordination that will need to go on there. and infrastructure, financing, we will be working since 2006 and the direction and brad with brad benson's support and developing the financing tools for the public infrastructure. and in particular, the financing districts and the ability to capture tax increment. and to actually put those tools in the play is going to involve working closely with a city's budget and finance department. and departments such as the controller office and the staff such as the public utilities commission. and we believe that with the port staff, already assigned, and the new implementation team

that has been described here and also with the direction on the direction of... also the workforce development will be able to address the challenges that we will face in those areas and others. >> the orton group we are working on a term sheet to bring that to you hopefully at your next commission meeting. forest city as i described earlier is doing a lot of due diligence working with the community. and in november, or december, we are really excited about the

fact that they will be bringing that to you for the public presentation and start that review process and lastly as david indicated, we are moving forward with the plans for the first phase of cranko park. we are down to two alternatives and we will be back to you soon with a preferred alternative that moves that development forward. or that or those plans forward as well. so with that, that is the presentation, of course the entire team is available to answer the questions that you might have about pier 70. >> thank you, >> public comment? >> james madison? >> james madson with orton development we are working on the historic portion of the development and i wanted to take the opportunity to thank you again for the opportunity to work on these buildings to affirm that we are absolutely committed to getting these

buildings up and running successfully as soon as possible. and we look forward to presenting more on what we have done to the commission soon. and we wanted to thank the staff for all of their incredible support getting us to this point thus far especially kathleen who has spent a lot of time working on weekends and very, very early. and we look forward to working with the other partners on the project and wwd, and the rest of the port to get these buildings done. >> thank you. >> is there any other public comment? >> commissioners? any questions? >> i did have some, and i think that you have touched on it a bit as did mr. madson. >> but i am curious about the coordination both broadly, but then also the particular with respect to the infrastructure, for example, if we have forest city at one site and they are getting their entitlements and they have their ideas, we want

to make sure that we have all of the rekry sit, you know, pec and other utilities and all of the needs slide in keeping with the plans. are we doing something that will coordinate all of the different parties that you mentioned? >> yes, what we have been doing so far and brad has been leading a lot of these discussions. we have been going around to the various city departments who will play a role in infrastructure development or transportation. and in sharing with them as much as we know now of the plans, and the approach that various developers are taking to the site and also sharing with them, the plan itself, what uses we have in mind the density of development. and we are working with a planning department as well. and in that level of coordination. so we are bringing the information that we have to the various departments. we are meeting with them, and

encouraging them in the case of orton and the developers who we know a bit more about their development, we are actually encouraging that there will be meetings between the developer and city staff, kelley cone is going to be as it relates to the water front site, has already begin to have discussion and meetings with the planning department in preparation for cities plan that we have not seen yet. but, we have enough of the sense of directions that they are going in that we can begin to start that dialogue between the planning department and the port staff, and oewd and the developers and so, yes, that coordination is going on. >> okay, we are clearly pier 70 is a very, very important development for the port and it is obviously a combination of things, open space, historic

buildings and the forecity development and so we will be watching it and hearing the progress rment report and how we will go forward with a lot of interest. >> i want to say that this is a very exciting project and there will be a lot of work that has to go into it, but i want to make sure that we take the dae into consideration and make sure whatever they are doing there they are in line with because our ship repair is very important to us. but this is exciting, it is going to be a whole new community and i am looking forward to working with everyone. >> thank you. >> okay. >> item 9 c, request approval of a fightal mitigated negative declaration and aden um, and the jefferson street, phase one project, authorizing the department of public works to construct a street and sidewalks of a two-block section of jefferson street. between jones and hyde streets. the relocation of one jc decaux advertising kiosk and the agreements with the dpw and new

nis pal transportation agency as necessary to carry out tree removal permitting and changing to the on street parking and traffic regulations on jefferson street and powell and hyde streets. >> good afternoon, share man woo ho and commissioners. >> dan with the port's planning and development division. we are seeking approval for two blocks on jefferson street which is the first phase of a five block project to reconstruct this street. this report focuses on those two blocks, the remaining blocks could be similar, but would be subject to further approvals. the purpose is to improve the quality of the pedestrian experience in the fisherman's warf and enhance the business environment and balance for transportation access. i would like to touch on the background and talk about the major issues and summarize the requested actions for you today. jefferson street project is an effort led by the city planning department who worked with the

community benefit district and the larger community where many issues were addressed and shaped the final project. the project manager from city planning is here and available today. the city's department of public works is the project's sponsor to implement the construction, and john thomas of dpw is also here today. the city is supplying $5 millen to fund the work. in 2008 to 2010. the city planning department completed the fisherman's warf plan which includes the proposed jefferson street plan, jefferson street is the main commercial spine of fisherman's warf. the east end is near pier by powell street. jurisdiction includes all sidewalks and up to the building faces on the south side. the jefferson street plan is bold, for the two blocks before you it takes a 37 foot width

street with two travel lanes and parking on each side and narrowing it to 24 feet. jefferson would also be changed from one way to two way, making it easier to understand and reach destinations. the street would not... the section, it shows it as much. the street would not have parking but could accommodate loading and service loading that would occur during the morning hours, bike access would also improve as they would gain two way access by using the street and mixing with slow-moving vehicles. the existing sidewalk and the north side of the street is now both a cafe and space, would convert to a cafe zone if desired to this commission, subject to other lease negotiations. the street would take on a distinctive appearance with scored concrete paving in the roadway and unique lighting fixtures. the planning department port

and cbc include meetings including the restaurant association and developed a traffic monitoring program to ensure that adequate access would be maintained to area businesses. the program includes limiting vehicle access at the powell street intersection during peak weekend summers hours. >> having officers at two key intersections at those hours and conducting a three-year monitoring program to allow for feedback and changes. regarding revenue impacts it would remove 32 metered parking estimated loss of $319,000 of meter fees. >> the business would have to increase by 2.9 percent. >> the port staff is also seeking authorization to allow dpw to manage the tree removal for this project consistent with the public *f public works code. there are 25 trees on the south side of jefferson, that in an earlier version of the plan the

proposed for removal. during the public review process and an individual repeal, the request to the hearing, the plan has since been revised to maintain 21 of the 25 trees and supported by the community. >> the project would require relocation of a kiosk to across the street of the north sidewalk of that block which is 27 feet wide. pursuant to the code the commission must review and relocate public tie lots and dekiosks up to nine street artists relocation, during construction and there after. street artists real estate staff is working with the street artist program director to identify temporary and post

construction locations on and off port property. regarding the question, the goal is to have construction completed by june 2013. and in time for america's cup events, and also maintaining access to all businesses during this time. construction bids are due on october third and construction could begin in early december. if dbw is able to reach an agreement with area businesses to spend the holiday on construction *, otherwise the construction will begin in early january. the project needs about 160 days of construction, so the schedule is very tight. pgand e will begin replacing a gas line on one of the two blocks in mid october, following the earlier described events that will be taking place in early october to make way for the roadway construction. >> to summarize the requested port commission actions, the resolution before the commission asked to one, approve the final mitigated and

the phase one project authorizing the public works to construct the street and crosswalks for two blocks between jones and hyde street. a substitute monitoring document was provided to you today. number two, approved that relocation of one jc dco kiosk. and for the municipal transportation agency to carry out tree removal and changes to the on street parking and traffic regulations on jefferson and street betweens powell and hyde streets. >> so moved. >> second. >> any public comment? we do have troy campbell.

>> this is important in making sure that the community is aware of what is going on, i want to take a moment to speak to that. >> starting in january of this year, the fisherman's warf coordinated meetings with jefferson from hyde to jones street. we also held community meetings that each held over 100 attendties each. >> discussed in the meetings were the details of the time lines, construction plans and solicited feedback from the community. as many as were incorporated into the final design. >> over all the date at the have coordinated the meetings and three community meetings about this project. in addition the cbd has a website called new jefferson street.com and it is managing the dpw. it gives details about the plans and provide a faq section and an alert mechanism to let the neighbors know about the upcoming meetings and alerts and we will do this through the

construction process. over 70 people have signed up including each tenant on the north side of jefferson street between hyde and jones. holding regular meetings with the port of san francisco starting in october every other week to keep people abreast on the construction process and to give them a forum to contact if they have problems. the cbd is continued to out reach and the stake holders about the project and will work with agencies to mitigate the impact during construction. with that i just wanted to say that the cbd firmly supports this project and requests your action. >> any more public comment. >> hearing none. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> i would like to thank your efforts for saving the street

trees, i am glad to see that it worked. i didn't mention as the sidewalk is widened, will we be able to get any revenue from stands that will be permitted on that widened sidewalk area? >> the sidewalk is being widened on the north side of the street, currently there is a mixed cafe zone and sidewalk and that area could be expanded into a solely a cafe zone. >> i was thinking more like the food trucks or the carts, one of the pictures that you had shown an ice cream cart. do we get revenue if we allowed carts like that too? >> there are locations along these two blocks, little pull outs that do have a little bit of extra space, particularly as you get closer to the west end and we could explore doing carts at that. the pedestrian volume are so high on jefferson street, we would need to be... i would recommend that the port and commission be selective as to

those locations that are done. but there are some areas, for instance, near where we are doing the jcdecaux kiosk and to the east of that outside of the fuel tank area and there is extra space and might accommodate such a use. >> the pictures had it. thank you. >> and the last question, in terms of the lanes, it will be mixed use, vehicle traffic that includes bicycles and do we have any striping for a bike lane or slow enough that the bikes will not have a separate lane? if we are widening the sidewalk? >> the way becomes 24 feet, that is two-way, so it is 12, 12-foot lanes and the speed is dictated by the slowest moving user, so the bikes will not have a separate lane and the narrowness of it will encourage people to move slow and actual

casual drove off. and loading will be restricted to morning hours, however drop off of guests will occur all day long and to area businesses. so we expect the street to operate at a slow speed. it is a street without a thru circulation and the belief is that it will accommodate as well. it is not a separate dedicated bike lane, it is where everyone mixes in a slow street. >> thank you. >> shall we revote again? >> i just want to mention that i think that we obviously appreciate that this has been well vetted in the community and it sounds like this has been planned for a long time and i think that we have been hearing about it and i am glad to see that it is in front of us today. i will ask again for a motion to approve. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> resolution, 1273 has passed. >> and we are going to take item 10 a first before we take item 9 d.

>> item 1 on a, informational presentation on amb pier 1, llc pier 1 energy efficiency and solar array projects. >> good afternoon, jay edwards, senior property manager, i am here today to present an informational presentation on the pier one, energy efficientcy and solar upgrades. it is prologises through the allc it is the port sublandlord as well as a tenant in the project too. >> i am going to give you a project overview and then i would also like to ask for permission to introdchin of the

francisco environment to be

repaid through the special tax assessment against the specific parcel over a 20-year term. the port must opt into the special tax district, however the special taxes are secured by the tenant's leasehold interest. >> port in return would pay its prorated share of the special taxes which is approximately 35 percent, and that was derived by the amount of space that the port occupies as compared to the project over all. which are estimated to be approximately $100,000 annually. >> the sublease agreement, between the port and prologis provides for the reimbursement of the taxes leveed against the tenants especially to reduce the operating expenses. >> the project sponsor through the controls and the project

sponsor is over here aaron blinkly and cordova is the director and johnson is represent as well. they have prepared extensive models on the energy safe ands their estimates through the sustain able improvements will be approximately $100,000 annually. so that equates to the cost of the special tax assessment. and so that is in the first year. the projections, however, take into account energy inflation, if you will, energy cost inflation, which they have run a very modest projection, as you can see in my staff report and the cumulative effect of the energy inflation over the 20-year project would be a savings to the port after our reimbursement of the special

taxes of almost $265,000. >> so, very significant. and you think that these are really achievable and measurable, too. >> so, there is no up front expense to the port to participate in this project and prologis through a letter of agreement, has or will agree to be responsible for any cost over runs to pay any vacantcies and they will pick up that share of the vacantcy and any bond financing, costs, extras will be covered by them. so we think that this is a very... there is a lot of upside for the port and we have limited the down side. and so with that i would like to introduce rich chin to give you information on the green

finance sf. >> thanks, jay and good afternoon, commissioners, rich chin with the department of the environment. just to keep it really quick, green finance sf is a paste program, it stands for property clean energy, there are 28 states that have passed specific state-wide enabling legislation to allow for this type of program to happen. it solved the up front cost barrier to making buildings more energy efficient and we are very excited to be a part of this project, working with very great team, the owner, the contractor, the sfupc of course. it has been a great public, private partnership. a lot of people have been mobilizing around this particular project. it will be the first commercial paced project, that would use

100 percent private capitol to finance the improvements under the structure. it will be a great demonstration project for programs that are launching all over the country and we think that it is a great show case for san francisco leadership and the port around this innovative mechanism and show that it works. i will keep it at that and i am around to answer any questions if you have any. thanks. >> thank you, rich. >> so, in summary, this project is the... as rich mentioned the first pace bond for the city of san francisco the first project to receive qbce interest rates report and the first and unique public, private collaboration between the city, the port, the puc, the lodges the johnson controls and we are very excited to participate in this project. that concludes my report.

thank you. >> is there any public comment? >> very well. commissioners? >> i just... i for one am very excited as a big proponent for solar power and energy efficientcy. thank you both for all of the hard work on this. >> ditto. >> yeah, i think that we all feel the same, so thank you very much. >> okay. item 9 d, request authorization to issue a request to proposals to rehab tait and retenant the pier 38 bulkhead building located on delancey street and embarcadero. >> my name is john doll and i promise to be brief. this is a follow up to an information item that was presented two weeks ago. regarding a staff recommendation for a selection

process for the pier 38 rehabilitation project. at that time, port commissioners provided input with this selection process. as noted in the staff report, commissioners inquired whether there was a way to rehab and retenant the bulkhead building quickly and also develop a way to consider developer qualifications for long-term plan for the rest of pier 38. there was also a certain whether there was a way to improve the physical appearance of the pier 38 shed. and finally there was an inquiry whether or not there was a pose blts to engage the developers one for the bulkhead project and the longer term redevelopment of pier 38. in response to this input, the staff has listened and recommends the following pier 38 project objectivities that would be inserted i
