5:15 am
can't do anything until the environmental review is duplicate but once that happens in neo 15 we'll hit the ground running. strapgs plan another important piece not only for our project but for the community in the whole we're working with the transportation planning will work together with the larger effort to come up with a solution. of course, i mentioned sustainable ability we believe we have an opportunity we've mentioned before to pursue 2k3wr0u7bd breaking. fwhuns a lifetime at any point to create from the ground up substantial measures that aren't seeing none, nationally given
5:16 am
the fact we're starting with a ground slate look at the cooling systems and the feasibility of a centralized trash collection for example. not only look at them but we have a development partner who is earnest at working them at the site. excuse me. the last two items i want to talk about. excuse me. is an early activation at the site 0 activate a portion of the lot you see to bring ugly to the sit that can show it's potential and introduce the site to the neighborhood and put it into a 0 prospective that allows people
5:17 am
to see it is a neighborhood focus. identically today that's it a vacant parking lot. we want to b begin this to be a project coming forward. and finally, public outreach we're reaching anti since 2007 this year for sure with such viruses groups as the may or may not advisors committee and the mission bay and the state lines commission amongst other he'd the city groups. various chamber of commerce from the african-american champs to reach out to as many as possible. we're reaching it out the

neighborhood groups and look forward to those the amendment in the coming year. excuse me. i would like to introduce jack bear from the giant to talk about the prospective from our partners >> good evening, commissioners. we'll be brief in light of the hour and try to hit the highlight. it's been a productive year there's been a blitz of activity. as you, you know, it's been encoder by the board of supervisors and the land use plan was also comboertsz by the board of supervisors so we have a lot of support. the eir is now underway to analyze the never and yet just
5:19 am
yesterday the notice of preparation was issued that he planning department. we're having substantive conversation with the planning department about many, many important issues it concludes the mayor's office staff and other staff we're talking about height and massing and set back and the retail and other strategies to make that moot it's potential. we're on schedule and we've developed a great rapport with the staff. we have a great working group meet every thursday morning and many wednesday averages and that's been a again experience. just a little bit of a refresher as you know this site is 37
5:20 am
acres it's the northern boulevard and channel plaza between pare 48 and 50 pr mixed ice development approximately, 6.3 acres of we want it to be a hang out like 24th street. features as you can see a grand 23r7b9 park and upper square and this channel plaza very significantly in the site so all the believes are aminity by park use. it has an intimacy and specialized to it. commercial office space $3 million i won't tell and residential approximately 2 thousand residents on site and
5:21 am
affordable housing and as phil mentioned we're speaking to the city about mix. retail and restaurants uses with with an emphasis to make smart decisions on a whole. and we're focusing open smaller rail spaces. we're also focused on a excelling streetscape so people like to hang out. there's in pier 48 they're a the largest firm in that area and became a become a brand that will be known world over. so the economics and the metrics the 2 thousand resident and 11 thousand permanent jobs and $25 million of revenue to
5:22 am
support the city and a $2 billion dollars and $1.3 billion of revenue to the city for an estimated of $4 billion for this project. it meets the ports and cities objectives. we also hit the ground running after the term sheet was endorsed we have a project team that's small but growing. and as this project matures there will be ongoing stunt. we've exceeded the goals for local hire and as indicated there will be more and more opportunity we're in the predevelopment stage and there are month universities in this phase. we've also paired large firms
5:23 am
with small businesses to diverse and gain different experience as we're making decides. so for example, burdening son will they're a large firm and karen and kathie you may know they joined that firm and have done great work but we've skimmed to pair with other. we've skmd psyched them to partner. the cob let's firm harry was the council to us when we developed the park but we've asked harry to take some the work we've hired millie and marshall who used to be the personnel on
5:24 am
other teams. we'll have fran did dig a little bit deeper into the information >> thanks jackie think phil and jack have given you a broad oversight and i want to give you some specific example we've been working on with the port over the last few months ago we've been gathering our consultants that work with the lead consultant and the planning dependent on developing the eir are they're in the data collection mode and gathering traffic and street analysis and things like that that are the publication yesterday on the engineering side of things we have two fun items to report.
5:25 am
phil touched on one earlier that that was the district energy so i wanted to maintain a little bit more about what district energy and pooling is. when you have as large a site and the diverse mixed of uses with retail and other commercial uses on this site our energy and demand loads are fluctuating over the die resident are getting ready during the day then go to work so it shift. so we have sufficient energy loads cross the site site. we in the last if you most have been able to do more due diligence on some of the legal issues and the financial faebltd
5:26 am
of a partnership like. we think that makes sense to due audio due diligence. another interesting experience so on the geometrical size we're thinking about the pedestrian size on the site what at this time like. somethings that gangs that it the parking garage. so we had the idea was if we could put the parking underground. that opens up a pan box we've had fun digging into that this fall and winter. open the development controls and design guidelines one area we'll paid at the scene is
5:27 am
developing the waterfront project. we've created this new concept of a working waterfront type of plan we've looked at into the bicyclists and trucks and pier 50 maritime yours instructions all sharing terry freelance way and co- habitating it in a co co- effect manner we look forward to showing you the results norwalk. thvl and jack mentioned some of the cardboards l about activating the site 125e68d leaving e leaving it into a parking lot how can we build small partnerships to have them think about seniors a home. so those are many of the
5:28 am
detailed examples of some of the things it's hard to explain six months of why in a few minutes. so we are really looking forward to 2014 i think we're going to hit our milestones with the draft of the eir our design guidelines and multiple transaction guidelines all completed over the course of next year. so thank you. >> that concludes my presentation. thank you very much. >> okay. is there any public comment? okay. please state your name >> mr. burnett. your plans went public about 1 o'clock i thought it was
5:29 am
interesting about some of the comments that were made aside i guess from side f some people got excited about the height but more people seem to be critical of is where terry freelance what boulevard comes north it doesn't/a nice by the end as you have now as you go over to the street. one last to make a shatter left hand turn. that's a flaw in the design and something that should be looked at. thank you. >> any further public comment. okay. we can ask phil or anyone else to address the design >> thank you madam president i think jack bear would recycle to
5:30 am
discuss that issue. >> interesting comment when we started this when two folks were taking care of this one of the issues was what to do with maximumizing the park space and it was decided through that process by closing the northern stub of fantasia way boulevard and providing other access south to that the park could be larger and more significant there was a design decision made to eliminate the stuff of the fanning was boulevard and use it as park instead. but there's a street that's a little bit south of there that you can use to traverse back but that design decision
