thousand that we were able to scrape up with that kind of money and with the knowledge that the blinlz who supported it is tough to get the truth out despite those issues almost one hundred thousand people voted yes to support golden gate park this campaign raised awareness of the value of golden gate park and empower is close to the heart of san franciscans and i am still talking to people that are shocked and upset by the results doesn't understand the campaign and the opposition that are people out there unhappy about this this is important because that is not the first attack on golden gate park nor the last we know this from the

action of the rec and park department which at 5 in the morning the day after the election started cutting down trees on the site this was 9 housed after the polls closed and 70 thousand votes had not think counted the election was in the finally, this shows a lack of confidence on their part and lack of respect for the heritage of golden gate park one of our supporters kathleen was so upset she brought the construction truck and was tleelgd by the construction workers she was arrested and went to jail this is the kind of commitment that is extraordinary she went to jail because of the election not being final and nbc reports shown this is entirely possible kids will be getting

site is currently developed with 6 hundred and 20 housing units proposed project clusz includes the demolition of the one hundred plus housing unit and includes up to seven hundred residential housing to replace market you housing some of the historic evaluations were evaluated the potrero hill terrace development and the potrero hill landscaping in the context of other public housing projects that were in designed in the presequa block style the annex have not eligible for listing on the historical landmarked but it is not win the district the dir includes the limitation of the proposed project will not result in the

accommodate active environmental review for the historical projects the copies of the draft for the review period which began on december 7th until january 2015 your provided electronic copies and the historic response for the historic evaluation documents i'm going to reiterate with the commission secretary said and remind everyone there will be a public hearing to her public hearing own this draft on the planning commission only december 11th today's hearing is intended to formulate and assist the commission 2, 3, 4 it's preparation on the dir and members of the public may comment on this hearing they'll not be respondent to they'll need to be articulated and differed by a hearing officer on

december 11th the planning department will publish my comments that contain the comments on the dir e i s we intended for the eir e i s a few weeks later probably the summer of 2015 this that concludes my presentation. and we're available for your comments and answer my clarifying questions you might have thank you. >> i have no speaker cards commissioners. >> thank you commissioner johnck. >> yeah. i'm not sure which or kelly? rachel thank you can you a couple of things i was very interested in the work we did this summer with the preservation element of the general plan i'm trying to

remember i know we didn't complete and we completed a public hearing had a lot of public comments and i'm interested to maybe have you refresher us and me on the status of that and the relationship of that of how we're looking at - while that is pending i guess final vote or final completion when when we look at the projects like this how - is there someway to tap into the work we did already this us kind of sitting over there on the shelf i'm not sure >> i think correct me if i am wrong so you want to see if there's a lens for the commission to comment on those types of projects. >> right yes anything. >> the card general plan has

preservation objectives and policies which might help guide any kind of comments towards types of projects in the city so there are historic preservation kind of goals and urban controlgles they might use in referencing some of the types of projects did that help. >> i mean right now that is up to us. >> correct. >> we're not doing this - >> correct. >> will you be doing that? >> not to my knowledge but i'm not the most appropriate person - >> to wouldn't be part of the sequa documentation but future approvals. >> yeah. i guess i'mism my way through the progress that people are not before us i was

interested in having a presentation for that it looks like there's a lot of historic implementations so at this time so i'm kind of feeling my way through where we can have leverage yeah. - >> typically the portion or the stage of the project where we are at to examine the accuracy they're looking at the historic components of the draft eir and make a come traffic. >> commissioner johnck also in the chart itself under the duties for the historic preservation commission it states the proposed projects that have an impact on the preempt the commission will have the opportunity to comment under sequa this could be that

opportunity. >> right. right >> commissioner hyland. >> so the historic resources that have existed on this property have been determined not to be historic because of the lack of integrity and there's no mitigation measures as far as articulating this project forward so that whatever historic cultural memories that may or may not existed in this project because it's been determined lacking in integrity we can't ask for mitigation of an interpreted there a unfortunately, this project is one project that doesn't have a positive lens on our society and

so quite often there's a challenge between forgetting those types of things and celebrating the importance of why it was envisioned to be such a great idea to begin with and so we don't - i'd like to offer or ask for some documentation of what this site represents at least the original site not the annex but being the first housing development site in san francisco now with a full demolition how is - what that tried to represent carrying forward that's one of the challenges on the cultural

assets. >> the last time it was commissioner matsuda brought it up beyond a display but keeping it as part of the clubhouse to see what it was before we remember the past so not making the mistakes again. >> that's right. >> so, yeah agreed on that. >> mr. frye and commissioners i want to echo our comments and remember you why it is in mitigation an impact has not been found you've requested interpretati interpretative displays so we're happy to include that in the letter. >> i think keep the small section of the clubhouse in the commissioners agree with with

that it so you would we have consensus on that. >> commissioners questions. >> commissioner johnck. >> yes. i want to respond to the tenure of our remarks here i think what you said commissioner hyland about the idea that wow. i mean this is the wholesale demolition there's a reason it was under and certainly a cultural significance to this is is important not only to wipeout or wash off the face of san francisco so i think that your comments that would be reflected in the or there's a recorded those would be good comments to provide in the letter that will go to the planning commission. >> the resources that exist are not recognized because the

threshold of the integrity has not been met that's unfortunate because you know, i worked for 10 years in july and that project almost got wiped out it was luckily abandoned for so long and saved because of the butchy of the walls and it is a horrible site for many, many immigrants but it is a memory that many immigrants don't want to have informational how does that fit into the - i'm not the e i'm sure there are important people that grew up there. >> in the annex. >> right so. >> and under the sort of guiding breath of the overall

project it is a great thing to replace so i want to mention that in the letter we're happy to see. >> we're going to look for ways to keep the memories of history. >> yeah. right. >> so commissioner just to recap some thought so the commission is impressing support for the project overall but encourage the project sponsor to explore interpretive positions like the clubbing clubhouse. >> no on a incorporating a section of the building into the clubhouse so we get a concrete bunker it has no personality and now it's a whole different environment so you know this is where people grew up in so let's take some.

any public comment on this item? we have no speaker cards seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners any at comments before we close this item seeing none, thank you we'll draft a letter and get it out thank you very much >> commissioners item 7 case at - >> i'm going to have to request a recuseal. >> for item 7592515 the new mission theater a certificate of appropriateness i believe commissioner hyland needs to be recused. >> to make a motion to recuse commissioner hyland. >> on that motion to recuse commissioner hyland commissioner hyland commissioner johnck commissioner johns commissioner matsuda
