could extend 10 to 20 kilometers down wind think of the map you just saw and think about the fact that it totally did not account for a 10 to 20-kilometer down wind blowing on these materials it's absolutely ridiculous to think that we could do an implosion in an urban area and think it's a safe and good idea. so this quote goes on to say that could extend 10 or 20 kilometers down wind suggests that implosions that implosions should be prohibited in metropolitan areas. we should not do these kinds of implosions in metropolitan areas period. >> >> you can read the full pdf

[applause]. >> mckenzie. >> thank you. commissioners i'm dennis mckenzie diamond consulting and education it's

-- i've been writing for 25 years and i also teach high school for the last 13 years and my comment today was about the eir being presented between your department and the planning department so my comment today on this issue is that my proposal -- i've could i've asked last week to use the opportunity as they begin the process of eir to study my proposal for high school classroom inside the arena and the issues here today already -- my proposal is to deal with the positive affects of education and what this proposal can mean for our city and entire environment and again, we're talking about these last items have been about the natural resources our

human interaction and relationship with the earth and environment is important so i mean for the benefit -- let me briefly read this comment my proposal on my website basically i'm asking for this study to take into consideration the classroom. i'm asking the eir to study the long-term positive social economic implications of a high school classroom that can provide san francisco and the entire bay area and diverse cross can crosscultural community as a whole and i ask government agencies involved and responsible for creating this successful partnership with the warrior's the workforce development commission and mayor's office

to consider the opportunities available to initiating these possibilitieses that my classroom can provide. i believe a strategic a strategically located classroom will create a wide variety of jobs and businesses and benefits for our diverse crosscultural community including oakland and entire san francisco bay area for generations to come and the copy i gave to you of this letter i wrote on on september 29th i provided this to you a couple of months ago on e-mail and i wrote this letter as a summary because of the new agency of the new agencies involved i needed to summarize everything. my understanding no decisions by political leaders or government officials were ever made without taking into

consideration the next 7 generations and that's for a deeply knowledgeable reason. everybody talking here before as i sat and listened creating jobs we don't have yet. we don't have any sister city relationships yet. my proposal is to create a a model bring a model. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we will read your correspond ance thank you for that. >> do we have any other speaker cards. >> no other speaker cards. >> exactly. so in public comment we can only receivement comment comment. we can't respond. the commissioners might have questions for those members of the public who have

given public comment. >> item 7 report of the chair. >> i have no report other than i encourage commissioners including myself to read carefully and closely the information we've received regarding the warriors project that was not on this calendar it's on our next calendar. >> next item. >> the next order of business is item 8 the report of the executive director on the major phase for the golden state warriors discussion madam director. >> thank you madam secretary really following on the chair's remarks and members of the public continuing to join us thank you. there's an inform al there's an major phase

document available for the public. there there will be an in-depth presentation on january 6th at the first meeting of the year for those of you who also like to hear more about it there are ongoing mission bay citizen's advisory meetings and planning department on december 18th will hear a presentation about the proposed golden state warriors arena and event center. the second item there was an informational memorandum distributed to commissioners today regarding the demolition of the of the candlestick stadium and you heard public comment there were a number of letters. there are public meetings because that item is not calendared and no decision before you today. but nonetheless there is a public meeting in the community

tomorrow and if i may announce that public meeting -- yes. it's through the request of a number of the members of the public here present. there is a meeting scheduled and facilitated through the supervisor's office and the residents of the area that's december 17th at 630 that's an opportunity for people to hear more about the proposed plans and over all plans for candlestick again scheduled for tomorrow and in addition the regular meeting and the this again is in your packets and january 12th at 6:00 p.m. the full meeting the matter

we don't exist and that's in that's in the western addition and also there's no mention that all the black businesses are closing on fillmore and no mentioning? it's ridiculous. it's appalling it's appalling. i respect you all to come addition. >> all i can say is the rules prevent me from giving immediate feedback. i'll be happy to talk to you about it offline. >> the next order of business is item 9. madam chair. >> do the commissioners have any questions or matters.

>> the only question i would have if there's an opportunity for us to talk about the implosion at candlestick and we can agendize it or have a conversion a conversation with lenare about that. >> i need to understand with more clarity even if it's in it's in a bullet memo what is it exactly that lenare submitted to the planning department how is that with any understanding we had about their plans is it consistent or inconsistent with the environmental impact reports or records or documentation. this is just off the top of my head what liaison role does the planning department have with us before they take action and

is it staff or planning commission approval so the sooner we receive that information -- this is more of a comment rather than a question i think we can decide what we we do next. >> and if i said that too fast i think the record will pick it up okay? >> next item please? >> the next order of business is item 10 adjournment. >> we're adjourned. >> on that note happy holidays everyone thank you for for your comments. >> >>
