existing commission surrender here at the site of the project that was intact at the design the last image was a 1917 edition 34re89 immediately after the original structure but not received the 1916 design that the original received it brings us to the proposed design the features are the same as the design including the staircase and exit the wall that previously ran along the wall was minute missed that's a trash enclosure and the original allow structure and far bottom right is exposed behind a wall the substantial change is a

stack place on the flat facade the height relates to the request of the immediately adjacent neighbor they have had reached an agreement with the project sponsor the vent lation will be beyond the roof of the building primarily looking at those unadorned facade to prevent creating a distraction on the 1916 part of the building finally with the roof as you can see in the plan you'll see a lot of additional equipment going it on the revolver this is on scale with 9 current equipment not visible from the public right-of-way and where the par fit is raised a few feet

up in the left hand corner and the stairs in the plan and the additional mechanic equipment i'm happy to answer any questions. >> commissioner wolfram. >> it was hard to tell from the roof plan how far the ducts off the wall the west wall from the roof plan that looks like they're coming away from the wall and turn at the roof level to the left and the conducts don't show on the lower level plan. >> that's correct so the dimensions are accurate on the roof plan and to be attached to the structure as closely as possible i've been told by the mechanic engineer federal and state this is the minimal size serving a kitchen but indeed the roof plan is in scale they'll be attached to the flat and so their coming

out flat and turn and go up is this it. >> correct. >> that's the square where it the angling up. >> and where's the architecture stroud. >> this is the commissioner approved it is i assume that is directly around the ventilation stacks i'll be open to comments one wide shroud you mean the shaft. >> this is the only one visible from the right-of-way. >> right. >> bow nothing it on the flat roof right it's just mechanical. >> the par fit existing at the roof you could see the shroud

hiding the vent shut up stack is my understanding commissioners any other questions we can do public comment and bring that back if you like any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner wolfram. >> my only comment about the mechanical ducts i think a shroud is a good idea or the whole thing built out of stucco the benefit it is in back it seem like you could have a bump out a stucco bump out and conceal it you'll see a bump in the building i definitely agree it seems like they should be

concealed it's not very nice to the neighborhood with the kitchen captive ducts you running outside of the building. >> this is some folks front entry. >> to be honest we'll not allow this in my street so honestly, i agree with commissioner wolfram i'll take it to the point of the metal screening it is the same thing i'd rather see that become a part of the building so a shaft going up. >> that is the way of a columns. >> maybe metal concrete but the concrete you know screwed on any kind of screening doesn't do it. >> i think it should be

integral with the building. >> yeah. that's a lot of duct. >> and those ducts have some kind of under age pieces not pretty. >> and back for the sponsors sack this is some people's front entry we wouldn't allow a duct facade to be covered it is a good solution. >> commissioners. >> yeah. i was interested in studying the edition this is on page 3 of the motion as part of the site permit the project sponsor shall provide and reveal on the east wall to denote the location of the historic doors what does that look like? was that in the site plan can you thrumming tell me. >> within the interior that are a couple exterior doors that are

no longer in operation. >> okay. >> so commemorate where that door was in the interior or have the project sponsor show they're a door. >> this is an architecture term i'm not familiar with is it a recessed part. >> it is an actual recess within the wall it basically shows where the frame is for the door. >> okay. >> quick question commissioners did you have a preference on whether it's a one shroud or two shrouds over the ducts since they're separated from one another and i think i'll be inclined to do one. >> the building is putting dublths closer it together get on the roof and spread them.

>> i think this would be simpler. >> right. >> i mean it is recessed back you'll have the - >> otherwise you're going to have on this one - >> one is weirder than the other one and two dimensions and the space left. >> it is uneven and won't look right of. >> right. >> okay. >> will you craft that one. >> i think that i would make a motion to approve with the condition that the commission would prefer one architecture rather than calling it a shroud but an architecture enclosure and it can be similar to the building elevation as possible. >> i second it.

>> commissioners then on that motion to approve with conditions to have an architecture shroud commissioner hyland or excuse me. commissioner johnck arrest commissioner johns commissioner matsuda commissioner wolfram president hasz so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 57 to zero and places you on item 8 the civic center landscaper to approve the finding of the inventory. >> good afternoon tim frye department staff at this point, we're going to ask you to continue this item the good news is the civil serves firmer has

forwarded to be completely as asked by the commission i have to connect with the consultant and fourth their timeline to get the revisions to us so i think at this point it will be appropriate to continue it to either your second hearing in february or your first hearing in march happy to come back with an update if you so wish before that time. >> so it makes it february 18th or march fourth 2014. >> did i provide us with a scope of the work that the consultants were going to do we advised but what so if the civic service commission approved that contract. >> the scope of work outline was to incorporate and to basically remedy the outlying

areas for the civic center and we've been working with president hasz and he's been working with us to update that work. >> no, this mr. haas. >> commissioner johns. >> i suggest we move this to the hearing in march and the reason is that this is a complex thing the consultant is not yet that deal has not been finalized but will be i'd like to be certain we've given enough time so we don't have to continue it again. >> i agree. >> commissioners we have consensus >> yeah. >> any public comment on this item? nope closed public comment and if i could have a motion. >> i move to continue.

>> to march the third. >> march fourth. >> march fourth, 2014. >> okay. >> thank you on that motion to continue this matter until march 4 commissioner hyland commissioner johnck commissioner johns commissioner matsuda commissioner wolfram and president hasz so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 6 to zero and with that, we'll adjourn

>> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of

integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric.

the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass.

>> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the

exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck

sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of

innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and interviews with the artist through an audio to work. it features archival audio as well as interviews with living artists.

he can be accessed on site by dialing the telephone numbers located near the artwork or by visiting the commission's web site. the public art speaks volumes of san francisco as a world-class city with world-class art and culture. for more information, visit >> good afternoon and welcome to a special meeting of thursday, december 4th, of the board of supervisors. neighborhood services and safety committee, my name is david campos and i am the chair and we are joined by committee vice chair, supervisor eric mar and we want to thank the clerk of the committee, derek evans as well as
