have code compliant projects. for the past two years we've been actively reaching it out the neighborhood and talking to our merchant neighbors and walking the streets to hear people questions or comments. we'll have numerous community meetings resulting in neighborhoods support including over 25 letters of support and 80 signatures. as part of our outreach we've become actively involved in franklin square it's one of the several parks including the gateway project we've helped to organize 3 clean up series for the next two years which will provide over 6 hundred ours 0 hours of volunteer time true market is contributed to the park of $50,000 working with the

rec and park department additional through our homeowners association hoa dues will be contributed to franklin square to assist with park maintenance looking at a 10 year period this is $145,000 towards the park and 50 years 2. $6 million. it's our intent that true marks process will continue and be carried through by our future resident. i'm sure you're aware of the counter site is blighted our proposed plan to have 70 new homes including inclusionary units on site. the project will create over 2 hundred my own construction jobs over a 20 month period of time

and have a apprentice partnership. this is a program in partnership r with the united players to educate folks for the education opportunity within the construction community in closing it's been a true pleasure and honor to with work the neighborhood groups and merchants we've had the opportunity of meeting and we look forward to continuing those relationships and greatly appreciate all the work of the planning staff when we believe has resulted in the building before you. i'm going to turn it over to and introduce glen from the architect to present the plan and design and thank you for your time if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners can i have the overhead please. we're excited to be here today, this project 346 katrero is

excited that not only because of the architect we bring to the table but that the location we're building this project i think to the a new area of development for housing we're gifted to be part of that. the site itself is a mid block site between 167 and 17 street it's a really mixed bag of product around there some residential and industrial and commercial. so you know from a standpoint of how to reacting rack to the state e site it's a mid block not n that much to build we thought it was important to beginning a history of the district. this area of katrero which is now known as admission creek is a center hub back in the day fore shipbuilding and industrial

steel mill plant you might remember the seal stadium was cut i didn't corner it brought a lot of sense of what we wanted to achieve with the design of the product. as you see we have a mcdonalds to the right-hand side and car wash to the left there's a buddhist snit kittie corner and what is important here's where particular reason and ourselves came together this building we don't look at it as a in fill we look at it as a stand alone architecture piece of, you know, product that we wanted to regardless of what was built

adjacent it would stand alone and look great. this will give you an image of what's existing >> what is on the site what's interesting about the project it is a skeleton concrete form structure we'll be designing it's designed with four sides it's not a two sided building facing katrero the facade on the front and back are similar and on the sides. they're an architecture movement throughout the building as a stand alone building it has merit and once the building is constructed adjacent to it it will hold it's integrity. at the because of the building

we worked hard on with planning we basically established an identity with respect to the warehouses in the nearby neighborhoods there are about 2 to 3 stories we wanted to create a robust 22 to 28 bays with retail space and lobby we changed from a concrete structure where we segregate stone structure to give it more of the industrial feeling that the warehouses nearby have and create a more pedestrian realm with respect to the trees and planning department. the section of the building which i barley see has key component we have bike storage and bike repair lockers and 3 incredibly green places we have a green space two in the back

and one on the lower floor and would be overlooking the square. we have retail on both sides central listed the lobby on the building. here's a closer view of the retail space. the other interesting spaces are the two common spaces we divided them up into two to give the residents for variety the lower space is in a quiet tranquil environment and the 8 floor is the residents terrace that overlooks downtown san francisco. we wanted to create those two variances that people had options within they're living

environment. what is also interesting with the skeleton idea we have the windows step back so we created those juliette buildings and this is a plus the light and quality of the outdoor experience that everyone gets a unique in this building inlike other buildings there's a birds i view. briefly wanted to talk about this part of the building the "x" excess skeleton its not just about architecture the engineering and people that work the concrete workers get to express ourselves our the work and it's a quality of workmanship it's not about the

architects it's a concrete building with metal and glass we need those guys to perform and as you see this is unique in san francisco being a concrete town it's great for the workers to be able to express themselves and view looking at from katrero hillish area you see the building flows with the industrial environment i like to conclude by saying i really appreciate working with the planning department we worked hard and together and came up with this great idea that's a great edition to the neighborhood if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them thank you very much. >> thank you. okay let's open this up for public comment any public comment on that item?

to express our support for the true mark developer they've been a great resource to us and have been committed to helping improve the park and we appreciated that. i have a - oh. as the developer mentioned they were very forthcoming in sitting down with us and excusing how we can help the paperwork they've committed to doing park clean up they've done through 3 so far and we've gotten to know them and they've made a commitment to doing several more clean ups over the several years and in addition they've made a contribution financially they've committed $40,000 toward our

capital improvement plan to have a fenced-in dog area and adult equipment at the park we've worked closely with rec and park and the major contribution they've made is this very innovative idea of contributing through are their hoa for having a dedicated park funds that will be tremendous in terms of the upkeep so again we've fully support of the true mark at 346 katrero after the developer has been helpful and in addition to having additional neighbors in this building we'll have people invested in the park if you have

stories all four sides if a 9 story building is going to do make the park worse maybe all the stories will make the park totally unusable. i don't know. pretty nice. people love that park (laughter) this is like one of our most this is easily philadelphia's most successful place. and, you know, well known as a successful park so i don't think the shadows are going to hurt this park or any park. thanks >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners joel electrical workers local 6 i want to strongly voice our support for the project thank you to true
