$1.6 million as part of the process we're before the eastern neighborhoods on june 15th of this year they unanimously supported the increase in the in kind agreement and i want to read a couple of changes to the in kind agreement what we realized in the last week the fees is actually the total fees and not for the eastern neighborhood fees that is the only thing to get a waiver so in article 3.1 the fees owed from $4.4 million plus to $4.02 m.d. 88 and for the record the remainder amount owed to the city goes from $2 million to $1 million plus
4:01 am
that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> thank you. >> opening it up for public comment not seeing any public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> thank you so for staying on top of that one of the biggest dangers to take the fees out of the quality of the project we're 0 doing the opts this is very wise including the city attorney's office is asking the increase in wages it is a win-win for everybody we've spent quite a bit time on the project when the issue of the dagget triangle was a street and back and forth with the benefits so having lived through it and commented many, many times i'm very, very proud of the way you're doing it i'm in full support. >> commissioner antonini. >> any impacts on the project the elevation changes in the

short the staff believes the request is warden and is established in the code the property on turk requires a conditional use authorizations to allow for a building over 50 square feet in height again, i'm available to discuss but staff believed this is warned and it is not out of scale with the surrounding buildings that are mixed in character and heights it complies with the existing zones at the june 4th, 2015, planning commission there were a number of comments including opposition san francisco due to the blocking of property line windows and the lack of community engagement and the cigarettes to the project the project sponsor has met with the neighbors and agreement reached are the tenderloin cooperation

4:08 am
were private agreements it has been appointed by kate some of the features of those agreements are continued community outreach, and regular meetings during before and during construction those are ongoing and onconow and will continue to go on other features since then is further cigarettes some that are discussions prior to the june fourth hearing some work that had been done but at this point we hadn't finalize these plans and the impacts on the curry center we've made further reductions in cigarettes for the 341 turk street building that was all those impacts have
4:09 am
reduces the total number when we were here in june now down to 2 hundred and 34 we've lost square feet of community space but building the community space in those buildings is of high quality and stubble u suitable for the group housing pursue finally those set backs in those agreements is that relates to the below market rate unit as mentioned because of the supervisor avalos legislation and because of the conditional approval if if legislation goes through we'll be required to furniture the units we've gone
4:10 am
farther even though that legislation didn't go through we'll produce the bmr units for that so we couldn't put that into the motion but we have condominium that private agreement with the tenderloin coalition so i don't have anything to add there are other general terms in regard to how to minimize the disruptive activity and a number of things over and over those were separate agreements if you have questions we're here to answer any questions. >> opening it up for public comment sam and donald. >> whoever is ready.
4:11 am
>> good afternoon, commissioners i'm donald i live in san francisco and i just want to voice my support for both the 3 61 turk and the 145 project with the current construction as proposed as well as meeting with the neighborhood the bilateral is open and forthcoming with the neighbors and the tenants in the neighborhood work with them to make that project work which is a group housing and what is interesting back in the day with that one building on the corner that those windows were built on the lot side of the zero lot line so i know those window were part of the subject matter in the past,
4:12 am
however with the proper sents we're able to work around with that project thank you. >> hello commissioners rob with the action coalition thank you for the opportunity to speak today you know we're in support of project we were in support at the last hearing the project manager presented it a year ago we're happy to workout the changes onset backs we're replacing two parking lots with building and they maximize the envelope with not being group housing on the affordability we're happy they're putting dnr on site and building in
4:13 am
affordable by design and those will naturally be anymore affordable in san francisco the shared pace space and the car free this is a concept we should be more receptive to moving forward with projects and it is the inherently sustainable building we're happy to is this with future projects and thanks for your time. >> (calling names) if you're ready ma'am. >> i want to be imperfect clear this agreement before the commission is not one in the best interests of the residents i'm a resident of the tenderloin
4:14 am
they basically have in my opinion made a planning commission code they're using semi ice cream this is not a group housing unit they've reduced the number of unit with the lot size with the f ar no longer meets the codes i think that i can't i don't know where to start i need time to go through the details i can't understand why you're not taking this more seriously this is set in the press it is not going to be be good for our city i love san francisco and don't want to see it become another
4:15 am

4:17 am
12 percent most developer adhere to say contentiousus and even with you know what we're looking at the development like this it means the construction at the end of the community that exist today the public in latino has been talking about the development and grammatical and such down there are their aiming to extract oil the leadership of those countries are like they need to feed their impoverished nation but the activity is destroying economical zones and whole language or cultures are vanishing forever in san francisco we forgot our natural
4:18 am
resources are the community and we decided instead to real estate for real estate for building for the 49ers in the gold rush we're going to lose one the most unique community in the america tenderloin is a dumping ground for people but it is like you know one of the shops you said the most fascinating things we're going to sacrifice that for prefabricated housing in a population that remains substantially white it is a high price to pay for development thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon members of the board and members of the commission i'm thankful to be here
4:19 am
but the point i'm the president of the policy institute and the as a matter of fact i rise in support of both of those projects based on the law of logic are the same everywhere in the universe and the point of that we have the short of that likewise you have to improve the infrastructure or it will crumble we've seen over the news and also on many collapsing infrastructures from earthquakes because they have not been upgraded this is not about displacing people but about
4:20 am
upgrading and infrastructure and continuing to improve the community and for children i don't think in the streets is a contra economic by something we should try to get rid of it is fidgety and dirty streets it is not that spectacular we need to embrace the development that is fair and reasonable that is what not only brings jobs to the community but goes to the children for that positive imaginary everyday thank you.
4:21 am
