a total of 132 housing units at blocks 56 and 57, the punctuate hunters pointers point shipyard phase 1. >> back to 2013 you approved a multiple block for these two blocks 2 blocks on the hill top of hunters point shipyard. they are coming back for a major phase amendment to increase density construction cost as you know is rising and we certainly encourage the developers to maximize entitlement. with that, i would like to ask the shipyard manager to present this item. >> thank you, director, bow he,

president more morales. you will be considering an amendment previously approved on block 56 and 57. this will increase the density on this block, density bonus. to face ilitate the coordination we'll give you project detail and project next steps. precisely your action is amending the blocks 56 and 57 to increase the amount of units to increase to 132 units. 15 of those will be inclusionary units bmr, below market units. you will receive

updated package which includes horizontal performance and data table combined with schematic designs and development agreement. the commission will also be making environmental findings with ceqa. ship yards context and history. the development will be done in two phases with the hunters land shipyard itself totaling nearly 800 acres. the first phase of the shipyard was approved in the development agreement fl 2003 and the second one approved in 2010. the mixed use development program for 12,000 housing units. the location block 56 and 57 on the hill top portion of the phase area

on the upper portion of this slide here. as i mentioned the commission approved these designs initially to make it more feasible the background on the previous approval on july 2013. for 98 housing units 12 of which are bmr units in the entire package units for designs and vertical dda. under the phase 1 dda the developer has 12 months to execute an article dda or seek an extension. they can grant that six 6-month extension and they did and this extends to january 2015. this is allowing the time to

complete the project design. so the key changes that are being proposed through this amendment, first to increase the height of the building to four floors and it allows four floors but initially went up to three floors, to address the fourth floor, the materials and facade was updated as well. the third revision to apply for density bonus to increase the number of units from 98 to 132 for increase of 22 percent. 12 of them will count to overall 10 1/2 percent bmr's requirement and the other three will be additional bmr units density bonus units in addition. also at this stage of major approval will be 519th unit with 89 of those being

inclusionary units. as a result the six hundred 600-unit to meet the bmr requirements. so what's a density bonus? >> it's a way to increase affordable housing in locality by allowing a developer in exchange for additional bmr units. the state law or government code authorizes this kind of approval and it caps it at an increase of 35 percent and provides formulas for calculating the required number of additional bmr units that are required. housing redevelopment plan also allow for density bonuses but caps maximum at 25 percent. ahead of these rules provides a framework of density bonus. so moving to the design portion of the item.

here is a high level site map of the hill top in phase one as you see block in 56 and 57 depicted on the bottom right. they are around the square park. before i go any further i want to introduce the lots 56 and 57. please stand when i call your name. mr. ian batchel and adams, and aaron spyingey, rosh core. >> the name again? >> rosh core. i practiced that one earlier. so here you see a summary of the development housing data with a proposal today before you. the unit counts have increased in the

1-2 bedroom categories. here you can see the blocks have a mix of 1, 2, 3 bedroom units. they have an average square footage of 1025 square feet to over 1200 square feet. before i call mr. batchel, i want to highlight a feature adjacent to these blocks. you can see the parks at the center of the drive there. there is a closer view of it. the parks feature play equipment designed with a maritime theme. it also features a public art funding by the economic development administration. the play equipment is consistent with the land station requirement that parks and jurisdiction have a maritime

educational component. you will see that in the parks coming in phase the as -- 2 as well. this is an angle of a ship's captains net and the shipyard. with that i want to invite mr. spige to say a few words. >> good afternoon, thank for having me, my name is anye spooige the manager for the block 56 project. there is a number of slides that are forthcoming to sort of give you a comparison of where we were and where we are now. i will try to be as brief as possible. as mentioned as

we approach construction start which was initially scheduled for late summer this year, we found that after the bids came back in construction cost really soared. and we were victims to escalating prices that projects are facing nowadays. we went back and had to make sure this project was economically feasible. the first of three things first being the simplification of some of the construction details and second the way we are using some of the materials and lastly we noticed that we had an opportunity to increase the height of the building which ultimately led to adding a fourth floor to one building. the rational behind that being that adding those incremental

floors, the incremental cost is much less than the overall average cost because you don't to have build another foundation and you don't have to build another garage and so on. at that point the final decision we made was to take another look at the design team and we made some changes and burl and associates are the outcomes of that process. they came on board in august of this year and are working to take what was the prior design to where we are now. despite the fact that there has been some value in engineering, i hope that you will agree the project is vastly improved from where we were before. with that, i will bring up speaker ian bear chel to

walk you through the design. >> my name isian beshel. i will see if i can get my left-hand koortd -- coordinated here. this is the rendering of the design as we took it over. this is more emphasis on the horizontal what i call mid-century look to the design windows where very heavily where i consider to be a little bit less glamorous than it should be. these are the site of the four buildings. this is the rendering of the site showing the previous design that you praud that is a rendering. i apologize for the color. that is the rendering of the

current design. so it has much of the same materials, simpler. we've lightened some of them up to make it less oppressive but we have maintained some of the design while adding a floor to each of the buildings. it should be noted that adding a floor gives some advantages to the way the buildings get configured. we can put in an elevator and we are now able to put adaptable units for accessibility for any unit. where the accessible units have to be accessible and ground floor. now we are able to place adaptable units in any floor

and where we have generous units family scale units. we have a courtyard at the back of the building which features outdoor kitchen fire pit and some private outdoor space. the configuration of the building which is difficult to see here again shows various units configured around the corridor. we have added an elevator. that's the view of the building as we have developed it. this is a schematic and conceptual design where we have more work to do on the design. buildings 2 and 3, excuse me, that's the previous design emphasis on the

horizontal enter the additional proportion for residents of san francisco which has a vertical emphasis. we have more light into ground floor units into courtyard and other view. this is the view of building 3 looking back towards the park as it was and this is how the now part of the engineering to take out this very expensive feature on the corner with open balcony and another view of the rear of the building. this is building four. this

is building four with the feature on the corner. we have added the fourth floor, opened up the porches and created a design. that's the entirety of the site. the building elevations i can go through quickly. the main difference here is we have taken the windows and opened them up. these are all very beautiful units with great views looking out over the bay. we wanted people to be able to sit down in the rooms and not have the view of the bay marred. we have them with more contemporary windows. the materiality of the buildings, the exterior of the materials are very

similar to those that you previously approved and what we have done is blend the colors to get them a little bit lighter so we don't have the dark heavy red brick. we are trying to lighten it up a little. adding the fourth floor to buildings 3 and 4 introducing the new material which is a metal rib siding like a material that helps the building reduce it's scale next to the park and so you see a 3 story facade with a roof material above that. okay. thank you

very much. i will be happy to answer any questions. i apologize for the color. it doesn't look lie that. and i will now turn the presentation over to mr. cost lovesky. >> what happened to the biking . >> they are on the side of the garbage. in the parking garage we have put self park stackers for the cars and the required parking spaces for the bicycles spaces as well. that's something else we've added a trash shoot for each of the buildings so people don't have to store

their trash in their units. >> you can load the bike. >> that's a code compliance. >> commissioners normally can't entertain questions. i apologize for that. >> i won't be much longer. before you today this major phase, staff has review ed it and it's complete and the horizontal schedule performance and the plan. all the elements of the major phase applications were reviewed with the advisory committee and in the meeting in november they recommended we go forward to you here today. they did provide a letter of sup

-- support which is in your packet. >> that is very normal. i will try to move through these quickly. there is a variety of items that we'll be working with to try to resolve. some are minor design issues. i will go through them one by one. we want them to study how to use the park behind the building to use the transition from the public realm of the building's exterior space incorporating a pathway with building 1-2 connect to surround the building and adding to the front streetscape and providing more access to the front units from the sidewalk. providing a private path to better connect the interior court yards to the exterior

to provide a better connection and study the feasibility of having bay windows on upper floors to provide a patio and give a residential feel, doesn't feel commercial. we want them to look at integrating this new fourth floor, this vertical motion dulation. we want them to integrate the architectural style the porches that cover the windows. we want them to study the color and tone of the bricks and make them more compatible with the materials being used on the project and as always we don't have the design of the doors and we want to make sure that they are compatible with the other materials and they screen the parking from pedestrian view which is required by the d for d. lastly if they do a condominium map, we need to

see the condominium map and the restrictions and any homeowners association documents. in terms of economic development and employment and contracting with small businesses, you guys all know that ocii equal opportunity employment program and policies seek to promote economic development in the shipyard through this development by hiring contractors. for the shipyard we have the bayview and program and they have 50 percent goals in particular the sb has a 50 percent goal with contract with sb e for first consideration for bayview sbe's to achieve 71 percent of participation and in this block 56 and 57 that participation has been 94 percent which the extraordinary. of

that 4 2 percent of that is business and 62 percent consist of minority owned businesses. with regard to hiring, the bayview hiring and contracting policies has a goal for construction for san francisco residents for bay area and hiring san francisco residented for blocks 50, 51, 53 and 54. of that 28 percent of folks are from bayview and 5-6 percent of minorities. in terms of schedule, next steps we want to finalize the appraisal for the property. we need to rea praise the property and exercise a vertical unit for

the project. they need to do that before they break ground and hopefully start in february 2015 and have this opened up with occupancy november 2017. that concludes the presentation. of course everyone who presented here is available too answer any questions you may have. >> do we have any speaker cards? >> yes. we have dr. jackson and mr. decosta. >> dr. jackson. i gave you these names a phone number. 947-4187. i would like to say when not one city

department and we got 17 of them here at this city hall, but not one unthem have a set of find compliance officer. i would like to say, there was an investigation done by nbc and i'm going to give you this young lady's name. you need to get the material from her about what's going on at the hunters points shipyard. her name is liz wagner. she's an investigative

journalist. her number, 408-432-4735. vickie nugent reporter. 408-432-4584. you are going to be in for a big surprise. these people have been in my home talking to me, and i would like to say that was only phase one that, the area that i spoke about. the judge ruled that that area was not clean because there was a lawsuit and if you call me i would give you the number of the judge where you can get the report. my number is

415-467-0535. and i will give you that information, but they have, everybody has the information. i'm going to put this on the -- since francisco decosta mentioned to you the fact that i spinola jackson represent the tribe. this is my id. can you see it? so you will know it is a fact. it's not just a suggestion. i have had many people come to me and ask me can they become a member of my tribe. thank you very much.

>> thank you. >> you know, i was listening to this meeting some time ago and a gentleman from the bayview who used to work for the redevelopment agency was here calling the rock when you crush it, it releases asbestos. we were -- you weren't listening to it. i don't know what you were all thinking. it is something called serpentine rock which happens to be the rock in california. crush it and it releases as bestos structures. every week we get a report. i'm on the list and you all should get the reports. if i

ask you now, you are not supposed to reply to me as you brought to the attention of your commissioner. you all should get the reports like when it rains today, the structures will be increased. there are these developers and they have no clue about that too. we have workers working exposed to asbestos. 20 years from now they will be suffering from mess they'll doctor -- mesothey'll ma. who do you think is responsible for that? we are putting people in harms way. we have attorneys, the mayor, we have the ranch, they fired him, we

have amy, and we have these i call them jack asses. they don't understand. rubber stamp. the developer here, they talk about parking and this and that, but not a word about contamination. the staff person here that gets the same reports. boron son gets the same reports. i stated every time. no good ever will take place at hunters point. i know financial ability. i know why they brought this shopping mall people. it's a bluffing game. they can bluff all they want to. but if you put people in harms way with

asbestos structures, that blood is on those who make the decisions and i'm here to reveal to you that you need to pay attention to these reports that come every second, not only me, but a few of us get it and i sent it to the mayor when the ratings were very high. this is a very boring meeting for me. i have got very important stuff to do, it's boring. i guess i have to make this sacrifice on behalf of our children, our youth, our young adults and most importantly our seniors. commissioner singh knows me pretty well, some others know me pretty well. i just pray to god he has mercy on
