creation of a plaza known as at ma copy even hub as the city staff says it's been a long process starting with the tireless advocate when the freeway was torn down and rebuilt to dip into the octavia boulevard i want to acknowledge john updyke the city attorney's office and he department of public works and also the mayor's office of economic development former and current kelly and former ken rich and robert who lives in the strict as a community leader who's lolgd long hours working on those projects. the ma copy even hub is a prime example of an small business being preprogrammed although as

envisioned as a community garden with a food pilot and most recently to push the design that has to the cross section of vendor and community members through a series of community meetings the mayor's office of economic development and public works kept the points out in the aesthetics designs and dph has worked hard to incur it's to meet all the state and federal regulations and the street vacation before us will help us to convert it from a street to the plazas it is under construction and the neighborhood is looking forward to have them come back to the space it's an amazing community

event on saturdays. so i first wanted to bring up robin from the office of economic workforce development to present on items 3 through 5. >> good afternoon, supervisors robin with the office of economic workforce development i do have a brief presentation i'm keep it short most of which the supervisors has covered the ma copy even produces are a of a planning process in 2004 in the junior 2000 the city entered into an agreement the state vetted all the property to the

city. in exchange for this land the funding of the octavia boulevard a was funded as well as the ancillary projects to mitigate the neighborhoods touched down on octavia. to orient you to the area the market street runs across the left hand of the map and ma copy even is on the top left this is prioritized as a market street and octavia plan. to define the ax cellar project the transportation authority began a process through the central advisory committee in

2004 at the end of the process they recommended the implementation of the project you see the construction project is the selma west project is wrapping up. oewd and dph kuk9d 9 meetings to find the ma copy even space in the for the ma copy even hub those tdrs interests will be under the plaza program that became effective last week. the city meditates have to 8 months to finish the project is identify ma copy even but the construction will be implemented this july we ask you move forward with the street process and propose to the board of supervisors to add ma copy even

for a longer standard in the meantime, oewd has awarded a small short term activation grant for the space this summer this allows the plazas to take advantage of the good weather in the board approves this zoning change and the board of supervisors approves the vacation it will be ready for an inclusion in the new plaza program please note we anticipate this process with the proceedings program is a circumstance we anticipate will be unique for the ma copy even plaza in the future we ask the plaza program will come to you in one package the longer than anticipated construction of the

street completion leads us to a need to manage the spaces in the interim this will fascinate the management. for our reference several references i think you've seen several of them under the process vacation in the ma copy even will support the planning by machoism the lingering street status for the regulations more in line with the city's small businesses removing one layer of requirements. here is a protective process i'll walk you through if you're committee sets a date today 55 to vacate the clerk has suggested september 2nd and the committee asked the rezoning for the street vacation on this day

>> yaerth preparedness is a way of life in san francisco san francisco we hope the new law requiring the upgrades is soft story building will help keep residents safe and sound. so bill tell me about the soft story building program what is it >> it's a program the mayor signed into law a year and a half ago the whole idea was to help homeowners strengthen buildings so they wouldn't collapse.

>> does the soft story program apply to all buildings. >> it only applies to buildings built in a timeframe of 1978 and earlier it's aimed at wood framed building 3 or more stories and 5 are more units but the openings at the garage level and the street level are not supported in many buildings without the support in a major earthquake the professionals sent them to flatten and many are under rent control so everybody's advantage to do the work and make sure they're protecting their investments and tenants. >> nos have gone out to have thousand owners but fewer one one third have respondent and thousand might miss an important deadline in december let's talk

worse case scenario. >> so first soft story walls the building will collapse and be a total loss. >> can you talk about the sfrelg in the retrofit. >> you want to think of this building like a rubber abandon in the upper 3 floors are a rid i do box and the earthquake the garage tends to really over the first floor is a very tough but flexible e flexible rubber abandon you would not drive the forces to the upper force so it goes into the plywood or steel frame. >> so here we are inside a soft story building can we talk about the kinds of repairs property

owners might expect and it's a simple process we try to keep it that way so what's involved whether you install plywood to make a wall and cover it with the gossiping so many stellar it adds underneath e flexibility so during the earthquake you'll get movement but not collapse it gets strengthened more when we go to the doorway to the steel frame to support the upper floor. >> so potentially the wood and steel that sound like a straightforward process takes our odds of collapse from one in 4 to one in thirty. >> that's exactly right we're hoping people will move quickly and make this happen. >> great let's take a look at. >> so let's talk extremely frame talk about that.

>> we have a extremely frame there are two of those and go up to the lower floor and a beam that goes 0 across that forms this it's a stiffer and stronger so during the quarter the upper floor won't clarion and according the engineers and contractors it could be done in two weeks time easy. >> if you're a property owner with questions about the soft story retrofit program signs up to this on august 11th from 3 to 5 at the main public library and the dbi staff will be there the deadline for applications t is september 15th. for more information food in sa just about expensive eat but

food for everyone and there's organizations in the city that are doing really good work making sure that healthy food it assessable to everyone. more and more as follows are are becoming interested in upper arlthd they want to joy the open green pace sea know where their food it coming from we'll look at 3 programs talking ushering agricultural and garden to new heights. so what exactly it, your honor agricultural >> it the growing food or flowers within city limits traditionally we've been referring to communities gardener that is a raised bed

over and over upper argument has a more a farming way of farming. >> so tell me 0 what's growing in this garden. >> a really at all plant. in the one of the rare places, you know, people have access to green space 24 is one of the places to grow things like the purple floor. it is sort of recognizing that the more diversity in given space the better not to just have one thing by everything supported each another >> it provides the community with an opportunity to get their hands dirty and reach 0 out and congressmen with the community

in ways they might have not otherwise to engage with one other. >> now the dpw urban planning program so see how the garden community. >> so i grew up on a farm in air force base we picked the foods open the trees and share with other families and as i drive around san francisco i see any trees with apples or mrumdz and lemon trees i can see the food going to waste and brought that idea back to the department many of the trees where the fruit would go to waste we origin or crop and pick other fruits and delivery this to food banks or shelters to people who need them. >> i'm here with nang wong

hello nang. >> hello. >> i need to understand house this gleaning work. >> we come and harvest like for example, we'll come over here this is the lemon and plug it like this. >> (laughter). >> made that good, good and ease. >> the trick is how not to hurt the branches. >> like the thing. >> i'm so excited about this. the people are so passionate about where the food goes to the private property owners give us the food they're happy that no of a t is going to waste

aspect of volunteering for the free farm stand. >> well, we could is a generalic satisfaction but something about giving food away it's giving something i brought that in and sort it and gave it to you it's primitive to be able to give something some basically to someone else. >> now serving number to 49 come on down. >> we have the capability of producing this food and in san francisco you can grow food all year round so the idea we're capable of prougdz food in our own backyards we're here to demonstrate an bans of food and i think that giving it away for free we show individuals it in

have to be a comedy. >> we build time together and it's the strength of any ideas of the connections we'll turn that connection and the more connections you make no mistake about it the more you can have a stronger power and not have to rely on money that's the people power. >> in this episode we've seen the urban farms and gardens provide more in fruits and vegetation people can have the special produce available it can be a place to give back by donating food to others and

teach our children the connection to the earth and environment it's truly >> good afternoon, everybody, i would like to call this meeting of the san francisco public utility's commission, to order at 1:38, would you call the roll. >> president courtney n >> here. >> vietor. >> here. >> and moran. >> here. >> torres. >> here. >> and commissioner caen is excused. >> we would like to approve. >> moved. >> any public comment?
