t 1,000,000 ft.2 of mixed commercial uses. including the retail center will will be in the footprint of the existing stadium. 50,000 ft.2 of community facilities. 9.4 acres of parks and a $6 million contribution to candlestick point state recreation area. in order to move ahead with this development program we will undertake the demolition of the stadium. on friday issued a statement they will be pursuing the mechanical demolition. and they will be withdrawing the implosion permit which they had submitted to the department building inspection. to be clear, they have issued to permits for demolition. one would have undertaken the demolition of the stadium through mechanical means in this permit was issued on january 13. a second permit was also submitted to the department

, that one sought to implode the upper deck of the stadium and use mechanical demolition for the lower levels of the stadium. this is the permit that will be withdrawn. the office of community investment in infrastructure is the lead agency in terms of permit issuance so whenever a permit such as these is applied for, oci i takes the lead role in review and ensuring compliance with the litigation monitoring and recording program. we do all of this in partnership with the planning department through an interagency cooperation agreement and we are also responsible for final approval of development on the site and ensuring consistency with any permits applied for.

>> to review the permit review process, the san francisco building inspection department is the lead agency and subject matter expert. they are responsible for coordinating among several city departments the office of community investment in infrastructure being central implements that are part of our project areas. first, to walk you through the permit for the implosion has been withdrawn, i will walk you through the permit process for the mechanical demolition. first, the urban department receives an application for mechanical demolition. once that is received, they route the permit to the planning

department who reviews it for consistency for the environmental review and in this instance, the 2010 final impact report cover demolition of the stadium through mechanical means and planning also a review of the [indiscernible]. once that is complete, the permit goes through the fire department who ensures consistency with the fire code. the department of public works inters at the city sidewalks and streets are safe and accessible during the work performed. the public utilities commission reviews for compliance with the storm water pollution protection program. the department of environment overseas consistency with the demolition debris recovery program and the department of public health reviews and approves a control plan.

finally the office of community investment in infrastructure reviews for consistency with environmental review generally for compliance with the above stated plans. >> it brief note on environmental review, had implosion going forward which is where that permit is held so the department that was regarding implosion was routed initially to the planning department who held it pending environmental reviews. i'm going to do a couple minutes on the role of environmental review and the permit process. >> any project must comply with the california environmental quality act. in 2010 the redevelopment commission certified the final environmental impact report which analyzed mechanical and

conventional demolition of the stadium. earlier this year, [indiscernible] requested the city analyze implosion for candlestick stadium as a potential alternative method. on behalf of ocii, began analyzing the effects of implosion through an end-to-end him to the 2010 report. to provide more information on an addendum, once the project has a final eir, no subsequent or supplemental eir is required except in limited circumstances which include changes to a project that results in new significant impacts or substantial increase to the severity of previously identified impact. if these circumstances do not occur, an addendum can be prepared. an addendum contains a brief explanation of white and it

environmental review is not required. since [indiscernible] is not pursuing implosion, we are not moving forward with an addendum for this project. >> a brief note on the community outreach today, while implosion was been considered, we did conduct a series of meetings with the community. dating back through december which are listed more specifically here. >> in terms of the next step for the demolition currently we are undertaking the hazardous materials abatement of the hazardous materials within the stadium. the stadium demolition with a high reach excavators will begin in late january and continue until june . in july, site grading will begin and in the fall the retail center will start construction. that project is set to open in 2017. indo for

the public who are interested in continuing city monitoring of the project, for general information, my contact information is provided. for folks interested in what is going in dust control or general public health matters, they can reach the department of public health assessment and mitigation team. if they are concerns regarding construction noise or safety during the demolition process, feel free to contact the building inspection department inspection services. complaints can be filed online. in addition there is a hotline available 24 hours a day which is [indiscernible]. >> that concludes my

presentation. we are available for questions. >> i have no further comments. on this particular matter. >> do we have any speaker cards? >> yes. >> [indiscernible] >> how much time do we have? three minutes. >> good afternoon. the last time we were here on the 16th

of december, we were told we would have some agenda time to speak regarding this issue. about the demolition of candlestick stadium but unfortunately for us this issue has been resolved so mechanical demolition has been decided on. i want to thank [indiscernible] for coming to the community against implosion. what i am concerned about now is we still have a lot of work to be done and that the community has not been consistently left out of the process. we were denied by ocii of being placed on the agenda to have a conversation with this commission and we were told that the community issues

are not heard before this commission and i need to remind the city department that you are a department that operates under the city charter so therefore, the city does have access to the commission and should be allowed to speak on issues of public comment. we have been denied that process and listening to [indiscernible] report and they have also submitted a dust plan and now that the implosion is no longer an issue, we need to be a part of the dust plan and making decisions regarding the community and dust. this is what the issue was always about, about dust. so we need to work with the community input on the dust control plan. there are other entities in the area that is working on

dust issues, we need to have that done. dust control must beyond [indiscernible] must be mitigated for [indiscernible] and not just to address visible dust but also the particulates we are concerned about. monitoring respiratory issues and verify compliance and mechanisms to improve sufficient dust controls so we are asking again to please include the community because the issue of dust is very important to the community and oversight must be done. this must be a dialogue, not a monologue. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i want to thank you for the

opportunity to speak this afternoon. i also have the same concerns as other representatives of the community in that we seek participation democratic in the process. the other speakers about ella hill hutch did not feel like a part of the decision-making. on december 13, the dust plan was submitted and approved by the city and county. we have nothing to say about this. no participation. it was all in institutional process that we know what's best for you people. and exclusion of the people. when

it should be by the people in conjunction and joint relationship. after they agreed to this process it is not being carried out. the first three, i'm sorry? the first three, first for have not been carried out. there are others on the other section i have highlighted as well, questions as well in terms of whether they have or have not. a picture is worth 1000 words. i have pictures. residents and mrs. moore took pictures. trucks are not covered leaving the lot, you see dirt uncovered. i made calls saying, there is a 24-hour delay possibility on the automatic system. air is fluid commodity.

just like water. 24 hours is too late in the game and the problem is not resolved. if the committee was engaged in this, we would [indiscernible] as mrs. moore mention, we are a [indiscernible] zone. what are the other remedies and processes that should be included in this if we are one of the most effective communities in the bay area, not in the document addresses this. hospitalization rates and cardiovascular diseases the highest in san francisco and it's in direct correlation to the air district that particulates there is a cause-and-effect relationship. we would suggest and ask that the commission that's why we wanted to be on the agenda, put a cease and desist until the dust mediation plan is put in

place and have safeguards for the health of the community and not just regulations based on the condition and health outcomes. we are the sickest, we are dying therefore additional measure should be put in place. golden gate university has offered to be a facilitator and hosted a meeting with the regulators with the health department, with the air district and we'd love to have them at the table as well to resolve input a system that is adhere to because they agreed upon this on the 13th and it is not been complied with as we stand here today. it would be a masquerade being put forth last-minute effort prior to today there was no plastic on the dirt. if you look at the pictures you will see there is nobody [indiscernible] as you see the workers lifting the dirt and moving it and excavating it and

therefore particles are being dispersed in the community. right across the street is a healthcare center, a childcare center. my niece and nephew are behind the church. i have family here. this is not a dispassionate, i'm asking as a humanitarian. let's stop it and take action upon it and have a meal meaningful and protective document that protects the health and also to the health commissioners, previously when [indiscernible] was working on the shipyard before the health commission and presented a document that they would pay the health department $150

[indiscernible] is this also applied to candlestick? because it may be a conflict of interest and we may need a third-party to do an evaluation of adequate dust mediation plan. because if they are getting paid, you're asking [indiscernible] to guard the chicken coop and you don't expect chickens to come up missing? i'm sorry but as you see here, we have problems with that. we look for long-term relationship but it has to be a mutual, not a parasitical relationship. we don't need to die for progress. we need to be part of it as a team member as a marriage would be. it partnership. not a parasitical relationship or that a parent would have with a child. we need to sit down and discuss these issues that are real in our life. thank you. >> i hope you will see within your wisdom to take action and try to put a better framework in this and a better structure so we can resolve the problems and go forward together. thank you. and allowing me to go over

the time as well. >> eric brooks? marie harrison? julia barber? >> good afternoon. i have laryngitis, [indiscernible] talking to my mother on the phone and she was in the midwest. this thing moves fast or i got it over the phone. i am eric brooks, i am the sustainability chair for the same for cisco marine party and courtney local [indiscernible] our city worked on these issues for the last decade and i have to say for the first time in 13 years that i've been working

on issues in city hall, i'm pleased to be able to actually,. and acknowledge this corporation for working with the community and doing something the community asked them to do. on health issues. that is pretty impressive and they should be thanked for that. however, there are things we still need to get and stay on top of to make sure what happens is proper. first of all, it is pretty much an outrage that the staff and planning department said there was no need for supplemental environmental impact report on this and if you as an agency can hire a private contractor or a different agency in the future for this kind of work i would recommend not doing this through the planning department because they blew it. on the issue itself, i went to back up what previous speaker said which is there is still going to be dust and that means we

need very careful monitoring. the big thing we need is for you to provide a little bit of funding for actual people that live in the community that were opposed to the implosion and we need to get community representatives able to monitor on a regular basis the activities happening in this development area. i want to remind folks that back in 2008, lennar was fined $500 for violating dust control measures in regards to monitoring. decides that fine, there were many other dust mitigation violations like not using enough water to keep the dust down so you must stay on top of this and get the community directly involved. the last thing that is important that you get on top of his making

sure the workers have proper dust protection and training. we need to make sure that is done and finally, make sure you are getting on top of local contracting and local hiring. this state requires you at least in good faith to hire 50% local. we know that if you don't do local contractors, local hiring does not happen. a while back at the board of supervisors in the [indiscernible] one of those amendments does require this project and others within phase 2 to fire the local hiring mandate law of the city which at this point is 30% and will go up higher. we need you to make sure you are aware that that is a law they have to follow but since the state says

to you they want you to do 50%, what i would say is instead of making it in good faith, just say we are going to 50% on this project because that's where the san francisco law heads us anyway in a few years. please confirm we get 50% local hiring on this project. protect the workers and protect the community and involve the community members themselves in the monitoring of the dust mitigation. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the green action for health and environmental justice. i happen to live there. first and foremost, i would be remiss not to say i appreciate the fact that lennar pulled their implosion plan. gave the community a great deal of justice in that one instance and i appreciate that. it only shows me that it doesn't always

have to be about, we should not have to go as far as we went however this is a perfect opportunity for you to step in and make sure to ensure a community that has been designated by not only the air district but the epa and you name it as a care community. we have been overbearing amount of particulate matter, toxic matter in our community and our community suffers greatly. i have one of those children that is one of the sufferers. our community needs to have input on this dust mitigation plan. it should never be a dust mitigation plan put through by agencies that do not talk with, advise or at least hear the concerns of the community upon which this work will be done. only in san francisco have i ever seen that done, excluding

the central valley. however, you have a perfect opportunity to stand toe to toe with the community and say this time, let's put our two cents then and get this done right. that's what i am asking you to do. it is no longer acceptable to comply to a regulation. most of the regulations in my view are outdated and don't deal with the real severity of the illnesses within the community. that you will be allowing them to do this work in. we need lennar to come to the table with us and sit down and allow us to help them put together a mitigation plan. some of us are well qualified to do that. myself in working with it for years. i may not be the best apple on the tree but i know what harms my community and how

to mitigate it. we worked very well with [indiscernible] doing their cleanup process to get something done and worked well. it worked and eliminated a lot of dust and particulate matter that was harming our community and our members that live directly across or on the opposite side of that area. i'm asking that lennar come to us and work with us to help us come up with a mitigation plan and please don't accept something from an agency from folks who do not talk to us. you cannot represent me if you do not talk to me. you can't tell the world what i need a what i want because you have not asked me. so i'm asking you to ask me first. on behalf of my community. we are well qualified and know exactly what we need and want. we are willing to work alongside you guys as well as lennar to get it done. inc. you very much. i hope you do the right thing.

>> my name is julia barber, i am a resident of candlestick park and the first thing i want to say is thank you to the agencies and lennar for withdrawing that permit. we are delighted to see that happen. also excited to see candlestick park come down. this is something we are all behind. also really excited to see so many residents come forward in this process and make their voices heard. cac has never seen so many people at their meetings. whole neighborhood association has never seen so many people at our meetings and people came out and made their

voices heard in the two primary things they talked about was local hiring and dust control. as you all know and have heard, the bayview is an air carrier zone. you can go to an elementary school and find more than 85% of the kids there have asthma. people are sick. there are a lot of illness going around in the last thing we need is more particular matter in the air. we need to be very careful with the air in my neighborhood. people are ill. we need the community to remain involved, it's essential that the community is a part of this process and a someone was talking earlier about what happened at hunters point shipyard with no proper control on the dust, the whistleblower in that case was a man in his 30s who is in a hospital with cancer. we do not need things to go that way. it does not need to get to that point. we need the community involved upfront and we need to be able to make sure the regulations are being followed. there needs

to be real substantial teeth behind what people can do and they find out the regulations are not being followed. i want to let you know that we are here, we are easy to find, [indiscernible] is a great place to start and eight established part of the community. we need to be part of this process. we need to make sure that when residents have confirmed [indiscernible] there are answers and actions taken on the concerns. thank you very much. >> [indiscernible] >> good afternoon. i am spokesperson for visitation alliance and long-time resident in district 10. on the evening of january 3, i came across a

facebook posting that alerted me about this project. i was astounded because the majority of people were not aware of the decision for the implosion. i contacted the media and thanked them for coming on january 5 at the meeting. when shirley asked over 100 residents what they thought about the preference, all of the hands shot up for the mechanical demolition rather than implosion. rightfully so because of the huge when the factor and the fact that we have a high respiratory problem in our district so my question is why has the supervisor city departments and developers not provided a timely language appropriate and direct outreach to diverse residents? had it not been for the persistence

and vigilance of [indiscernible] i would not have known about this project or the decision to do that. for the $6 billion project to move forward, we want to make sure there should be transparency, responsibility, accountability to all the residents so our residents can provide ongoing input into the project. please do not continue to post everything online and consider that as an outreach because as you know, in district 10, the highest population asian-pacific islanders, many of them are limited english-speaking so this is not an acceptable means.
