landowner in august with respect not unfortunately notified we admit if we have been marry sophisticated we could have searched our documents earlier we're culpable we want to state for the record what is your extremely bids last fall getting our school opened last year as an organization which also has to gain approval for permits we understand and sympathy with the challenges that emerald faces and with designed modifications late in the game we appreciated their willingness to provide what litigations are possible without mitigations to the 3450igsz that go beyond what is required by the law code and mitigation that demonstrates their intent to keep our city

safe without putting the viability of the project at risk we're withdrawing our opposition and request for continuation in consideration of the miethsz spend out with the emerald we submit for the record and just to reiterate those oh, i only have 3 minutes? well, the mitigations are all stated in the materials that were handed to you we understand that this is not an idea ideal outcome some folks may want to ask for a continuance it's >> tough situation we find ourselves in and reasonable people what disagree with the right approach it is not in our best interest to hold up this project and or the viability to put it at risk now that the

emerald has shown the mitigation we feel are within the constraint of the plans san francisco needs nor housing for families like more high quality childcare for the children that live nearby our school is an urban school a walkable transit rich neighborhood we understand that the development will continue to happen all around us we've learned our los lesson to get involved earlier with the conformation we look forward to working with the emerald fund and other developers to find ways to insure our preschooler community is bristol and a welcoming place that attracts families to the city

to the - the developer has submitted a prototype not only to keep the noise to an acceptable level for children to this kind of i applaud them for this the developer and schools have said they have come to an agreement on the noise and it says it is they will try to use the mitigation plan but only hold them to the current noise ordinance i ask you to make this necessary for 41 decimals as outlined in the i'm sorry, i should have given that you that before. >> as the president has stated if those members of the public wishing to speak with children can come forward first please.

>> hello, i'm erica him 3-year-old ben and six months nephew gus and may be one day my other child will attend school full-time and so, yes. we're concerned about a big project just feet away from them and surprised to learn that the proposed project would be so large and close and we were even more surprised to find out we had just one week to evaluate the proposal and register opposition only on the 21st that the parental community essentially lender the details of one 50 van ness you've heard from many apartment and will hear from more seeing the signatures collected they're

concerned about noise level and air quality and sunlight i share particularly the air quality and noise because the study didn't take taking into account the presence of so many sensitive folks on a daily based some parents have spent hours in attending the meetings and i too applaud did vendors so for responding quickly we simply need for time to fulfill evaluate the project and propose measures for our concerns are sub i can't stand and engagement with conversation with the developers and others perhaps our administration should have picked up on this and the developer more proactive in

being a good neighbor none of that matters it matters there are dozens of san francisco parents 3 came here and many more that didn't come here feel bulldozed and ask you to take a breath and do the research and come as informed citizens my son loves construction and loves the opportunity to see if before his eyes in our neighborhood at potrero hill i'm not trying to stand in the way of the project as a whole or my son and his beloved workers i want to make sure that everything is being done correctly so he and the other kids watching the workers everyday are safe and everybody is safe according i represent

request that e this commission continue to a later date. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon my name is alice i'm a parent of the la port school and a 20-year resident of san francisco to be clear peppering i'm not against the building of the housing but i take issue with how little consideration is being given by those involved at one 50 van ness to not only a historic building more important importantly to our citizens i'd like to present over the past week apartment have come together to learn more been the

project and voice our concerned could the parent please stand or raise your hand? many concerned parents couldn't be here because of work and it is also spring break and travel comments made it so they couldn't be here as well as month parents work full-timers a petition was launched on sunday march 29 in 3 and a half days gathering 3 hundred plus signatures the vast majority from san franciscans we're urgent care the developers to future consider the light and air and study the effects of the development only young children i present to you the signatures as well as comments thank you

>> thank you. is there address parents with children that want to speak please come forward. >> good afternoon. i'm david and this is mabel. >> has better to be safe than sorry been said we're parent we don't oppose the building in any way but definitely prefer that whatever agreements er78d has put into the contract be a little bit more enforcing my understanding they're saying we would like to do this and frankly their throwing a lot of money but i'd like to see that more binding and i was actually looking at this i feel like it is very nice to see things a little bit easier this is about the length or the width of how much spates there is going to be

between that wall and the kids that's about it right there and there's going to be 0 a lot of concrete and as with any building situation people sometimes things happen and things get a little bit 4r0urd and harder to manage to give our parents some legal protection so the developers are going to do, in fact, the things they say they're to do i appreciate that i do. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi good afternoon i'm a san francisco parent and concerned about my parents preschool the van ness construction plans will directly effect my child's mental health and i i ask for more time in

keeping the children in consideration i have any concerns wind turbulence and they're not take into consideration the dust contamination since this is a new construction project and they didn't take into consideration the time to reflect this this is a school that hours 3 to up to 6 years old and they're in school year-round the well-being of the children is important i hope you consider my request thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> sorry i couldn't get my - thank you thank you for your time i'll try to be brief i am a la port parent my child's

classroom has an amazing teaching team she's happy as a san francisco family i'm under attack by the economic pressures and the validate of the barriers to raising a child i support having more how's and the demolition of the questionable and the retail space i'm not against the emerald has a whole or has any interest in costing the developer more because of the interest rate my husband an architect and designer and i agree this know are buildings as destined didn't take into account any of the in the course historical nature of the building current design away from the preschool blocks the windows

with the 13 story building will impact my child's environmentalist her classroom will going from a beautifully lit classroom to a darker room children like applicants need light to thrive they receive a deprivation permit to take down the building silicon valley and they would be approved ref their loans at the trick or treat and simultaneously looking for a long term design that hours the historical design of the school and the educational quality of school and be neighbors with our best interests at heart i've not spoken with a single preacher that is opposed i'm glad for the emerald team that has come to

terms with the agreement they have but as a they've said it was an hour and a half ago it was a rushed agreement and i believe we do not need significantly more time but some time to come to a conclusion that is amenable to both party we want a bit more time and flexibility awhile working in good faith without athlete to withdraw the elements all right. in process. >> thank you. >> as the next speaker comes up i'll call more names (calling names). >> good afternoon commissioners my name is march i'm a proud father of a 7-month-old boy at la port i'm here to express my concerns about explosive noise during the construction on van ness that created a natural will

the light that was and the detrimental focuses this has on our children's development on christmasing day after seven years in san francisco me microwave and my wife kim thousandth find out she was pregnant we immediately started to look at mammogram nanny shares and other programs we're not to familiar with the curriculum that fosters early childhood we found la port we were existed that was planning to open in san francisco we immediately jumped on the waiting list and cross our fingers that was six months before he was born i'm telling you this i want you to know how much apartment care for their

children we want a well-rounded education i care about my son i urge you to remedy the funds the parent were aware of that project last week and have not read through the proposals in detail and had a will meaningful conversation to protect our children's my family supports the addition of new housing but work with the community so should good faith to have is diversely community i propose emerald they agree to a binding plan to keep noise and demolition within a accepted limits for young children not to distract their education not to exceed 45 decimals and agree to a binding plan to contest keep

the dust pollution in limits and the ed reiskin regulatory systems are more fragile than adult and particular matters causes problems with asthma and it should be available store monitoring and agree to a binding plan during - i remembered should provide a back up for the faculties to continue to work with our children and on the natural light that had been taken from our children a dedicated 4 story building and a 3 story high private indoor baseball gym. >> thank you, sir our time is up. >> thank you. next speaker. >> so i'm an architect and do

you only people and local parent first of all, i request a continuance for the information provided by the project sponsor i'm strongly in favor of high-density housing, however i believe that all development should be scaled to meet with the neighbors if it overwhelms the purchase there are serve errors and omissions it is listed on what this page a 20th century 4 story or 3 story building is it is a 4 story building this package didn't identify the building was renovated and - i believe this information needs to be corrected before the project is approved this is an

excellent example to encourage the use of a historic building one 50 van ness didn't respect the character of the older building and one 50 van ness is property to be 5 feet from the rear wall and 15 stories i don't see how a wall behind a historical building is acceptable and one pro steps back - the 13 story wall will block the classrooms view children are critical members of our society during 2 years of construction my sons classrooms will be covered to protect them and wall of bedrooms windows 5 and a half feet away only after the parents complained did they concern
