2:00 am
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
2:01 am
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,
2:02 am
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
2:03 am
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.
2:04 am
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
2:05 am
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
2:06 am
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
2:07 am
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.
2:08 am
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
2:09 am
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
2:10 am
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
2:11 am
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.
2:12 am
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
2:13 am
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
2:14 am
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.
2:15 am
>> 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
2:16 am
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
2:17 am
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
2:18 am
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
2:19 am
pretty well, some others know me pretty well. i just pray to god he has mercy on your souls and you do the right thing. >> thank you. any other speaker cards? >> i have no other speaker cards. >> okay, commissioners have questions? >> yes, one thing i would like to know what is the previous and was it proposed what was it, the gentleman? >> if i may, the previous development was proposed to be 98 units. 15 of those units were 80 percent and 50 percent median in the come -- income. now 50
2:20 am
percent being bmr. >> what was the reason? >> i think mr. spooifey in his comments essentially they were building a building that was smaller than they were allowed to build. they wanted to make sure there weren't any units they can build off the table and go to the maximum level. we need more affordable housing in san francisco and more housing and the shipyard is expensive to develop as we put in the infrastructure from scratch. it made sense for them to come back and try to maximize the building. it's not an overwhelming building. it's what was allowed previously. >> when is the dwround breaking? -- ground breaking? >> it will break ground in february, next year 2015 and they
2:21 am
anticipate about two years. so november 2017 they will be finished. >> okay. they will complete it? >> yes. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner mondejar? >> i had a question. on page 7 of the executive directors report to the commission, i see the increment between 2013-2014 in various units, one bedroom go up but when i look at three bedrooms, the chair rules committee supervisors yee spoke with interest when i spoke with him about family house angd normally when he
2:22 am
made a great point and when the issue of family housing is raised and what is the city doing about that the response that normally comes back that there is a three bedroom unit here and what are our policies in keeping families here in san francisco. that's what i'm getting at. my question is here if we are increasing over all, is there a reason why the three bedroom units which are more suitable for families not being increased very much. >> sure. i will let mr. -- discuss why? >> we have increased the number in the original design there were just handful of three bedroom
2:23 am
units and we have added a significant number of three bedroom units in the design. in the upper floor, >> maybe we are looking at different things on page 7 of the staff report, you see that. i have a major summary with three bedrooms. no difference. >> yeah. this is incorrect. >> okay. well, please correct us. >> we have a total number of three
2:24 am
bedroom units. this appears to be a typographical error. >> okay. >> a total of 11 three bedroom units. >> 11 from the original three? >> in the original design -- on six. so the number of units doubled from the original design from six to 11. some i believe i know at least two of those larger three bedroom units are also bmr units that will be affordable. so certainly the notion of providing more family housing isn't lost. we have to balance that out with a need to provide a certain number of homes per building to make
2:25 am
things economically feasible. >> okay. it's 11 and not three. >> actually i have got better news. my brain is not working well today, sorry. there were no three bedrooms in the original design according to my sketch here. >> the original design had about 4, but we are at 11. it went fwr -- >> why don't we go lieu -- through the design. we'll get back to you on that, but it's safe so say there was a net increase. >> the design had zero 3 bedroom units because of layout issues we
2:26 am
were shoe horning into two bedroom units. in the new design by going to an extra floor we incorporated the 11 three bedroom units which are greater than 1400 square feet. >> that's good. >> to the chair, it sounds like there may have been a discrepancy. what the commission approved the schematic design but nonetheless we'll gather the material and make sure that we have the accurate information from what was approved before and perhaps there may have been some changes to the design process as typical as to where we are today. >> excellent. yeah, that's great. any other questions?
2:27 am
>> that's the model there. if it's light enough to -- >> if i can make mention about the model as part of your decision today you are waving two requirements, one is to have this model redone. this is the model that was done previously. the only difference here is i don't know what the scale is but a quarter inch. this is a three 3 story model and also since they are at the construction document stage which is more in design development, these four stages of design, we are going to wave that they have to come back with a design development to staff since it's a less detailed document construction. i just wanted to mention the model that there are no changes. >> okay. thank you, the only
2:28 am
comment that i would like to make for the record that when we heard the report on sbe participation and nb e participation that bernard came up with the last report, when we got the annual report, kudos to leonardcious sounds like things are moving. it's in the right direction, i think it was 92 percent? thank you. it goes to show you where there is a will, there is a way. anymore questions? >> move it. >> motion it by commissioner singh. >> i second. >> second issed by commissioner mondejar. commissioner bustos had to take a call at 3 :00 p.m.. that's why he's not here. please call the roll.
2:29 am
city clerk: commissioner mondejar, commissioner singh, madam chair, rosales. three votes and one absent. >> the next item 5f authorizing the director to enter a memorandum of understanding for department of public works force use of $5,000 for soma alleyway improvements for schedule item 384 subject to oversight board upon approving resolution no. 99, 2014. madam director? >> thank you, madam secretary. commissioners, with respect to this item you have in essence come in full circle, these are tax exempt unexpended bond proceeds they
2:30 am
were not part of the refund that you just approved in the recent action. we were unable to complete the program in the south of market which entailed not only making physical improvements along 5th street and alley ways, we were the lead in that respect, the former agency was in this former commission, but due to dissolution we were unable to complete a number of those improvements and unfortunately a number of years ago the city stepped in to pick up the work south of market and now we have completed a number of hurdles and steps and we can again come full circle and contribute these grant dollars for the program that were started by the former agency in the south of market area. we have very limited availability to enter into these contracts, it's very limited and very
