by 75 hundred that's a 8 point millions impact >> 52 percent. >> so as we look at the requirement of the office of the economic they're to look at the sustainability and prosperity plan specifically it called u calls out telecommunications this is not to do with any provisions it's only for the screening so the impact vs. no, i would ask that we just slow down a teeny bit and get it over to the financed to see the impacts of the city. >> the numbers you put up there that has to do with the

requirement of at&t the questioning to plant the greenery around the boxes. >> yeah. on the proposed permits that are outstanding for the light speed produce. >> is there any additional public comment on to me okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim >> thank you. i want to thank i guess the dpw and the city attorney's office for walking through the steps. i still prefer an increased number of days now i understand the process how it fits tithe within the 60 daytime line i'm willing to forego the that amendment >> thank you for all who come out last week and could i i think spice it today where everyone stands this has been a challenging issue for the city.

we know under state law with have constraints we can't band the utilities from placing their utilize boxed on our sidewalks they have right rights but we have the right to regulate the mr. president and make sure the utility boxed are being placed in the niece of our community. when you look at what this requires in terms of doing early front loaded outreach to neighborhoods so instead of doing it in the current manner which is not as tight. when we look at the requirement we bring a broader area of the neighborhood together with at&t for other utilities identifying multiple sites where we only look at one site where the kick

the can down the road this is a significant improvement to get it front loaded and deep community involvement in placing those large units on neighborhood situation i respectfully disagree with at&t the greenery and mural when you're talking about placing very large 4 foot a little bit bigger on the people's on the situations outside of people's homes on the sidewalks it's a minor thick to ask that if we want to put >> mural on the box that the utility should permit. that if the community wants they're to be greenery around the boxes which everyone agrees it attractive and gets graffiti that's in the an unreasonable request so they should maintain

the greenery as opposed to having the adjacent property owner so i'll say this came up last week, i did meet with at&t and at&t did send us a letter expressing the concerns. we invited at&t understanding there's significant disagreements we won't agree on but addressing the concerns they have because there might be some amendments we agree to at&t limited their letter to the philosophical agreement between the murals and unfortunately, it was a fair limited back and forth in her opinion of the issues and it's not a criticism

of at&t they've you disagreement with the elective i respect their rights to have the disagreement but i want to thank my elective aid in getting this done and all the cities departments that are extremely helpful including the city attorney's office. supervisor cowen >> one of the issues i've heard from my constituents is a desire to see the murals along the boxes i think the at&t rep is in the room you guys are prohibiting people the ability to put murals or paint on the utility boxed because of the painted compromising the

integrity of the box? >> ms. rehas. >> good afternoon supervisor cowen i'm with at&t. the new light speed cabinets have a recidivist you'll get a missouri and look like washed out watercolors so that's the first thing on the graffiti vs. the second thing did your office want to be the ash take care of art >> no, we have an art commission that determines what's art so the public art around the city that's what on the public right-of-way; right? >> open a private utility cabinet on a bona fide cabinet.

>> so certainly we don't need the defeat but helpful if there's more flexibility i want you to sustain on this filmmaker you're putting on the new cabinet you described in the anti graffiti. >> so that comes with a warrant on the cabinets to maintain. >> what's itself name of the company. >> al can tell. >> thank you. so that comes with a warrant to maintain the temperature in the cabinets because inside the cabinets are computerized technology they have fans in the cabinets to help maintain the temperature but when you put dark colors the manufacturer says we can't guarantee it so we

taken that question back hundreds of times at this point since 2005 and that's the reality of the warrant >> do all seven hundred and 26 cabinets have this coverage. >> yes. the cabinet idea i want to be real clear we took that back and asked the city why they don't allow it on their structures in the public right-of-way we haven't gotten an answer he want to know why they're not included in the legislation. >> so on the murals mta there are mta traffic control boxed for example, the church. >> on third and oakdale.

>> the city is willing to do that there's interesting there are large box as i recall there were box that were temporarily removed and there was an outcry and since been replaced. >> really popular tons of them in oakland and to i see, i see. >> did this pertain to the city as well. >> the mural requirements pertains to all of the utilize boxed. >> so even those of the city. >> yes. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. so colleagues if there are no additional questions or comments i would entertain a

motion to forward item one positive. >> okay. >> we'll take that without objection.. okay mr. clerk call item 2 >> item 2 is a hearing on the streets with the hunters point shipyard and the candle stick development. >> thank you. i requested this hearing today along with my co-sponsor supervisor breed relating a to a technical and important issue in terms of how your neighborhoods are described and that issue is the width and a street clearance of our roads in san francisco that plays a critical role in safety. the issue really is how to

really balance all of the various needs that our roads serve in san francisco. we know that we have regular discussions in the city in terms of allocation of roads whether to cars or bikes or pedestrians or parking. we also know that in terms of is safety of our community the width of our roads matters. this is really a question of balance. and advancing sometimes needs that seem to be competing whether or not they are. the issue that confronts us is to consider all the public assess and taking them stookt. colleagues i'm sure you're aware of the san francisco fire

department expressed a view in the hunters point shipyard and the candle stick which is the largest development happening in san francisco that the anytime street clearance and the street clearance is the clear space in a restraining order from parked are parked car to parked car instead of it been 210 foot lanes to be expanded to 36 feet a thirty percent increase in terms of width and crossing and so forth. this could lead to having instead of two, 10 foot lanes to widower lanes. i want to really start by making it clear i've said this before i don't think any of us can say i have tremendous respect for your fire department in the last

month alone the fire department has brooibl responded to fires in any district is the women and men of this department continue to amaze me in saving lives. so i think we're all in agreement on that this isn't an issue about the fire department but how we structure our roads and good to have a public dialog about the issue. i'll be honest over the lacier year every two i see the chief smiling we've got discussions about pedestrian safety and roads in san francisco. the fire department has at times expressed concerns about various pedestrian safety improvements like bulb outs and we've had

discussions we've had an epidemic of pedestrians being killed on our streets. we've got way, way too many people killed and although skaegs and enforcement are important no matter how much enforcement and education human beings are imperative and the design of our streets has a significant impact in terms of overall safety. and this board of supervisors and the mayor and the voters we've all said again and again and over again, we want our streets to be safer. the board passed the better safety safer streets and easier pedestrian crossings. the board passed a legislation by the supervisor kim community

investment & infrastructure commission us to voegs. the mayor are recently issued his pedestrian safety strategy. which has very, very important step forward in terms of insuring we're going to make the jerry changes and others changes necessary in order to have safe streets and it repeatedly talked about the role that crossing distances has in terms of making our streets safety and making sure we don't have overly wide streets. i want to make clear even though we're going to be focusing on one project candle stick point

today, this has this issue is very, very pronounced ramifications for the development around the city. we have a lot of large projects in the pipeline in addition to candle stick point and the hunters point shipyard we'll follow we know that we have park merced and treasure island and the transbay district and other projects sclaj locate this will come up again and again i called this hearing because what happens at candle stick point on this issue whether we increase the minimum street clearance on residential student side to 36 percent increase that will become most likely a precedent for other developments throughout the city. and i think that's very important while making the discussions not just the

forestry depended but the public process is important to make those decisions. i also want to stress this is a very important issue around pedestrian safety we know when you have widower streets cars good faster and more accidents happen. there's a longer distance for pedestrians crossing especially for the disabled it's harder to get across the street but not just about safety but this walkability of our neighborhood we have a long time policy in the city over the decades of designing neighborhoods and neighborhood streets in a good urban design way so people are part of their community and people can walk around we have

streets conducive to that vibrant life. we went through an unfortunate history in the 40s and 60s of going in the opposite direction in addition to building freeways we took neighborhood streets and widened them into semi freeways but cutting back situations we did that by demolishing homes and you look at some of the streets we're dealing with now geary boulevard was a wonderful street turned into a semi freeway and san jose avenue and caesar chavez and germany are a street, street after street was widened and we video pedestrian problems today and for decades now we've been spending a lot of time and an enormous amount of money trying to fix what we the

in the 40s and 50s and 60s like caesar chavez so my view is rather than making them safer with a street and spending years fiksz it that lets get it right in the beginning. that's what we're going to be discussing today. i think this is a very important issue even though again, it might seem technical in nature when you look at different neighborhoods and streets in san francisco or in any city around the world so much of what a neighborhood is diagnosed by the state and we see it again and again when i see streets overly wide particularly side streets whether to widen residential side streets beyond the 20 foot clarence agreed to in 2010 and

passed by the board of supervisors then it has significant impact into the liveability and walkability. i wanted to note that 20 feet is the time clearance under the state fire code. 20 feet is also under applicable traffic design standards nationally and the appropriate city clearance. when we look at the streets in san francisco there are many pretty high volume streets that are around 20 foot clear or close to it germany restraining order street and embarcadero in the long stench the medium is a little bit less than 21 feet and mission street is frequently at

20 feet. octavia boulevard is 22 feet, taylor street at the union is 25 so we're going suggesting and saying we should stick with the 20 foot clear 2010 is very, very consistent. i know that the fire department is concerned as they should be about getting their fire trucks but in san francisco we have an enormous number of streets in the city that are narrow many, many streets that are 20 foot clearance and the fire department does a tremendous job fighting fires on those streets. so this is not about either or in terms of the fire or pedestrian safety we should achieve both and that's really i i know all of our goals it's a

matter of how we get that p there. i'll recognize my colleagues supervisor breed >> thank you. i want to thank supervisor wiener for taking the lead on this hearing. the reason i decided to co-sponsor when i previously served on the san francisco redevelopment commission we went through a length process there were people at the table there was an eir and process and joint meeting with the planning department and so the fact this particular issue as it relates concerns me i want to make sure we're moving in the right direction i don't want to create significant changes but b do what we promised with the significant affordable housing. so from my prospective that's my

biggest concern now, you know, we starred this approval process in 2010 it's not 2014 and we're looking changes in the sizes of the streets that's a concern. to put things in prospective commissioner lee mentioned the fillmore area development and i wanted the clerk to put these on the overhead to give you a prospective of the disadvantage we did it implicated how it plays a role in pedestrian safety. so if you can put each of those starting with the first on the top on the overhead. in 1958, this was what geary boulevard looked like a friendly neighborhood street. next. please.

in 19 61 this the mess that the redeveloped agency created as they bulldozed and picked up dirt to the streets. and 1981 this is probable hard to see that's an aerial overview to my far left your far left that's kind of an aerial overview of the geary billboard and just the work that respect into taking out all of the area to create geary boulevard and the final slide is from 19 well, that's basically, what it looks like now this is geary boulevard about one hundred and 20 feet wide that's a dangerous place to

cross a lot of senior housing there's not a day i don't get problems with the pedestrian safety in this area i don't want to make the same mistakes whether or not the hunters point shipyard or the other areas pedestrian safety should be key and, yes the fire department does an incredible job maneuvering around the cities the alleyways and knob hill and in many instances lives saved i want to make sure we're balancing this i think that 26 feet is extreme especially in the 9th hour and want to change things i want to have an open discussion >> supervisor cowen. >> i wanted to thank everyone for in their love for the hunters point shipyard i'll be coming to you when it takes time

to sharing the money so people have - thank you supervisor breed. >> because everybody want is to talk about the hunters point shipyard and the candle stick area but one of the things i want to community not only to the agency representative here but more to the people who are the future people moving into the community and the people on there and on the ground whatever decision this is a hearing no action taken bonding on this item but want them to understand we won't be making any decision not in the best interests of everyone everyone will remain save. so without that mr. chair, i think we can go ahead and get into the hearing i look forward to hearing the thoughts

>> thank you very much supervisor cowen. so we'll now have a few presentations to hear we'll start with the tiffany from the office of the community infrastructure and investments >> if i could get the overhead good afternoon supervisor cowen and supervisor breed and supervisor wiener tiffany from the office of the community infrastructure. i'd like to start by providing you with a brief overview of the candle stick of the entitlements and the agreement >> madam clerk we need one more copy of the presentation for supervisor breed. >> there are additional copies for any members of the public on the podium.

>> one i'd like to start by providing the eva framework of the project agreements and entitlements that is for the hearing request. i'm sure you're aware of for affects it 8 hundred site has stood vacant and delipidated especially for the alice griffith residents. revitalizing and connecting this area to the fabric of the city is an enormous task by one that is major. no infrastructure exists today before this land is demonstrate we need sewers and drinking water and recycle water and stormwater systems must be developed and the demolition of existing buildings and

significant graded to accommodate sea level rise. under the leadership of 4 mayoral administrations including the current administration the city has used the significant entitlement powers to revitalizes this area. my staff will describe in greater detail the entitlement documents sure over the next 15 to 20 years much affordable housing and parks and jobs and transportation improvements, and others community benefits are delivered to the bay area and to the city as a whole in that sustainable manner. as you can see after many years of the planning including a voter initiative that provided the fraction for the development the candle stick point and

shipyard areas will be transferred into a transient neighborhood by urban development and a vast development of parks and 0 open space. it incorporates more than 12 thousand new homes and office and research and development and more than 8 hundred though square feet of retail in addition to the parks. similar to mission bay now succeed entered into an agreement with the master development developer to complete the horizon development including the construction of the streets and utilizes and parks and community facilities in addition to the developer providing a cash subsidy for community benefits. the project is broke down into two phases each by a
