seeing none celebrate our an

ver ver -- anniversary, and the public realm project on jefferson street, adding so many important parks and promenades to our portfolio. we had also the bayview gateway park open and commissioner katz was a huge proponent of the blue greenway. we also benefited from the bay lights on the bay bridge and also the opening of the exploratorium at piers 15 and 17. we've had more people come to the port during her tenure than

the last ten years combined. we now manage orrin 600 commercial tenancies. she was a huge advocate on adopting the port cars strategic plan which guides -- the port's strategic plan. we want to thank her for her service to our organization and staff is going to miss her very much. so thank you, commissioner katz. i think we want to open it to other port staff would like to say a couple words on her behalf. >> port staff or public. >> or public, of course, sorry. >> good afternoon, commissioners. brad benson. commissioner katz, i -- i've known you for almost 20 years, and first at the board of supervisors, when i worked for supervisor ammiano, and i think

you have a real passion and commitment to public policy. i know on the civil rights front, but you're also a policy wonk after my own heart. as supervisor, commissioner katz required all utilities to carrie warning when in the public right-of-way. i think it's that attention to detail that has made you such a great public servant both here at the board of supervisors and at the port commission. i know you really love the development work that we were doing. you're a passionate proponent of the pier 70 project. i think the final thing that i want to say is almost all of your remarks, you really went out of your way to say what great work staff were doing and acknowledging all the work that went into these presentations. it was all so good to hear that positive feedback, so can't

thank you enough for your service. thank you. >> thank you. is there anybody else that would like to speak? >> commissioner katz, it's nice to be able to follow on brad's remarks because i think your expertise and passion around public policy extends to the community engagement and the public's involvement in the work that we do in the city, and what you've brought to the port and to the waterfront in this period of time to help with this transition as the port really opened itself up to the public at large, not just san franciscans is something that we will always appreciate. and i think the work that you extended to us in launching the waterfront plan, in getting that working group together to truly be inclusive of all

corn corners of the city and the region really says a lot about you, as well. we thank you for your service and we wish you all the best. >> any other public comment? >> also just wanted to echo what brad and diane said, thank you for commissioner katz for her work on the blue greenway and her continued commitment to helping us get that system completed, so thank you very much. >> thank you. is there any other comment? >> commissioners, steven real, project leadership. i really wanted to thank you for your commitment on sea level rise and climate change. you really challenged port

staff to fully consider sea level rise and climate change in our projects when leadership was lacking, and i think san francisco and the port have really benefited because think

known you a little bit more from his involvement being in the -- in government, but i certainly didn't have a chance until we were on this commission, and i think that i also have gotten to know you personally, and i'm glad to have made another friend, as well, through that. but again, i think there were many areas that you were passionate, and we are a diverse commission.

our backgrounds are all different, and you certainly added in that diversity in all the areas that the staff has mentioned, so thank you very much for your contribution. >> thank you. commissioner adams? >> well, leslie, you and i were kind of like partners in crime on this commission. i think that what i'll always remember is remember the first time when jack started the four city meeting when you and jack were walking around in those old buildings down in forest city and rats were running around us. it was a rainy, gloomy day, and jack was taking us around. you always wanted to have your feet on the ground, but you was always a stellar force with the lgbtq community. you had the port of oakland and the director and officers, director forbes, and over at the port of oakland, the oakland director always had lunch together and got together to talk about the port of

oakland and the port of san francisco. and you got -- you got -- you took the lead on that. when we went through the issue -- when director monique moria left, you and doreen supported us. we had to go through a new national search for a port director. you were among the glue to ensure that we got the best port director we could get, and we ended up with director forbes. and i thank you for that. and your commitment to social issues, you always felt the port's not making money, but when we start dealing with issues like homelessness and other issues, you said that the port also had a social responsibility. you' you've always taken a lot of pride that your dad was one of the attorneys for dr. martin

luther king, and just going back to when you were on the board of supervisors, your heart and soul was with san francisco. even when you went to work for the law firm, there were certain clients you wouldn't take because you wanted to be on this commission. you wanted the best for this commission, and you gave your heart and soul. i just want to personally say thank you for all your hard work and your dedication. >> thank you. i know commissioner makras and gilman, you haven't served with commissioner katz, but let me know if you want to say something. >> you're a great public servant. thanks for all you have done. >> leslie knows this. when she was on the board, she was the first supervisor i ever spoke to. just to let you know, i had blue nail polish, and i had to call my cousin to get the advice to take it off before i spoke to you. thank you for your service. >> thank you.

leslie, my friend, i just want to let you know that you have brought so much to the commission, and we are going to miss your valued insight and input on so many different areas. i mean, you always have something to say, which is absolutely wonderful, but it's always been something that we can learn from or something that you're passionate about, and so we're really going to miss that -- miss that, but what i'm really going to miss is after the pledge, hearing you say someday. every time i say the pledge, i'm just waiting for that. so i'm going to miss that. you have been such a great friend and fruly a pleasure to work with. we truly appreciate your seven years of service, but i know that will not be the end of your service. i know you will continue, but thank you so much for giving so much to this port and to all of us. and we have a plaque for you.

[applause] >> i kind of broke the plaque. okay. it says, "in appreciation of leslie katz, port commissioner for her exemplary stewardship and legendary contributions to the port of san francisco, march 2011 to may 2018." [applause] >> okay. everybody, let's take a picture with leslie.

[inaudible] >> after your comments that i have things to say, i'm actually at a little bit of a loss for words at the moment.

i just can't begin to thank all of you enough for your wonderful kind comments and support. kind of funny being on the other side of the microphone here, or the other side of the dais. but it really was a walk down memory lane as we're recounting all the projects that happened. it actually seems like it was a relatively short period of time that all of that has transpired. i started -- i actually did try to put together a little bit of a list of people i really wanted to acknowledge and thank. and i know sometimes burman,

kathrin purcha kathrin purcell. when the public comes down to the waterfront, i don't think they know what's been involved in keeping the port pristine. we have the unique feature of being up against the vibrant city, and yet we manage to have a working port, but the environmental stewardship that goes into that kind of management is really quite something. stephen, you mentioned sea level rise. thank you for that. i know i've got a few growns i think the first time when i introduced and -- groeans i think the first time when i introduced and said i wanted sea level rise to be considered

in every project. but i think everyone has risen to the challenge and we've demonstrated the importance in leadership to sea level rise not just to san francis not -- to the entire bay, not just the city of san francisco. there's some of you that fall into literally everything. lindy low. even when i was on the board of supervisors, i had designs of dog parks down on the waterfront here. diane, thank you for indulging me in making sure we did have dog parks included in our projects. one highlight for me that i see every time i head home now is the bayview rise project. when i was asked to serve as the port's representative on the selection committee for that project, and what that did in terms of bringing together the community, and i think we really were lucky and the

artists we chose recognized how important the community was and how this project could tell a story, and we got something that was beautiful both day and night, so working that up. and dan hode, driving home a lot of our port projects. i want to say thank you for making sure we're creating beautiful opportunities along the water. beauty and special events, kristin, i haven't had a chance to work with you as much as renee denmartin. we were actually friends along before i got to the board of supervisors. so when i was first on the commission, she was one of the first people who reached out and guided me through serving on the commission. real estate, we've got mike martin, rebecca benecini who's been a wonderful addition to the staff. mike, you felt like you were part of the staff for so many

years, even when you were over in city hall. finance, i remember when commissioner woo ho had one of these "aaudacious goals of reaching $100 million in revenue. that was under the guidance of our executive director elaine forbes. megan wallace who's just been stellar. tom carter, i don't know if you're here, but with maintenance, we don't always recognize what goes into ensuring all the upkeep is so solid here, and tom carter has done such an amazing job of overseeing all of that. and then we have manny pacheco who's not here today, but he makes this port really run.

we say it, and he just makes it happen. always had a smile on his face, too, every time we saw him. then, we have the executive staff, and actually, i think i go back further with byron rhett than anybody here. the very first governmental role i had was serving with byron on the citizens advisory committee with hunters point shipyard, back before it was a gleam in anybody's eye. byron, the work you've done on the port has just been unsurpassed in excellence. peter daly, as you said earlier, we'll always have shanghai. you better explain that. when we had the -- >> what happens in shanghai stays in shagnhai. >> no as part of the delegation

on part of the port of san francisco, peter and i along with that executive director moyer represented the city at the sister city conference in shanghai. i mentioned, you know, a few of the others, but i also want to thank eileen malley. i worked with eileen before she was appointed as the deputy city attorney of the port. at the time, someone said, have you heard of her? i said do not let her change her mind. make sure she comes over here. she was an extraordinary person. as an attorney, i recognize, really stellar work when i see it, and you have just done such amazing legal work on behalf of the commission, so i want to thank you. amy, i don't even know where to

start. amy quesada, the executive secretary for the port and the port commission. she knows everybody, everything. she makes it look seamless, but i can't even begin to imagine what each one of your days must look like, and you do it with a smile. you make it look effortless, but we notice when you're gone, so -- so we know what an incredible job you do. brad benson, you forgot when i first ran for the board of supervisors, you met me when i was on supervisor ammiano's staff, but you helped serve on my kitchen cabinet when i ran for supervisor. and i've always appreciated your friendship and the work you've done on so many guiding projects here. it's just extraordinary. when i came over to the port and saw you were here, i was so excited. elaine, also, my friend from

way back. i can't begin to thank you enough for stepping into the role of executive director and doing it so beautifully with such vision, grace, and kindness to the staff and all the commissioners, really. thank you for making it look seamless, but it's so hard to do a transition into a new role like that, and you've just risen to the challenge and put your own stamp on the role, and you've just done a remarkable job, so i want to thank you for that. and then, of course, you know, our staff is extraordinary, but also, the public participation is something that has been really unique, i think, in terms of the level of support that we get from the public. it was mentioned earlier, i was honored to be able to help and put together the committee for the waterfront plan update working group, and it was quite

a feat to make sure -- and the staff was so involved as we sat and figured out how do we make sure that the entire city is represented on this working group, and i think the work that we're now seeing that's come out of that body reflects how thoughtful and dynamic the people were that participate in that, so great deal of thanks goes to all of those participants. but i can't begin to thank one person in particular enough, and that's corrine woods who kept all of us honest as commissions. she brought issues before us, she was out in the community. she would relay what's happening, so my -- yeah, i just thank you for all that you do, all of your insights, the work that you do that often goes unsung, we're singing it loudly today, and to the two new commissioners, you are so lucky to have somebody out in the public like corrine, so when she speaks -- what was it,

e.f. hutton? better listen. i want to thank all of the people that were involved both from the port staff and commission side but also the public and the developers as pier 70 which had its ground breaking. i remember going up to mayor lee when i first got on the commission, and i said i know you're exciting about the america's cup, but i think pier 70 is going to be something for the future of this city. and he embraced that project, and here we are, seeing what's happening with orton development. that was the very first vote i took as a commissioner, to select them to head the project. i know the giants are working hard to figure out how they can provide opportunities for the entire communities from jobs to places to live and work to 40%

affordable. it's really an extraordinary project. the blue greenway is always going to be near and dear to my heart, and i can't wait to walk along it. even though i already walk down portions of it. i can't wait to look at it all connected. i was looking at it through a friend's window, and i was thinking i can't wait until it's all kekdconnected just pa crane cove park and heron's head. the terminal, it's one of the most environmentally friendly cruise terminals, and i was talking about what's happening and what happened at the -- along san francisco waterfront and providing shore power to the ships that come in. that was something that was huge discussion point at our

sister point's conferences, as well, and now other ports have adopted it, and we can all see what an amazing difference it makes in our environment. pier 3032, that was one sore spot that i'd like to see something there someday. i'll say it again, a floating pier might be an option now that it's more economically feasible. there's so many things that happened along the waterfront, but none of it could have happened without the incredible stewardship of the people that i served with on the commission. when i came on board, kimberly was the seasoned commissioner, and i got to see her in action and the legacy she leaves at the port. when kimberly asked a question, it is always worth listening to what she's saying. it's always insightful, pointed

and adds such value. i learned so much from all three of my former colleagues. kimberly your insight and guidance and representation of the communities was -- was stellar. doreen, i, too, am also proud to call you my friend. as you say, you kni knew james husband before and it was great to see your financial insight and great hand guiding the port to its current very strong position. but make no mistake, your leadership was behind all of that, so i want to thank you for that. brother adams, my partner in i am -- crime, we joined just about the same time. and you've become a very dear friend, and your passion, your commitment, your kind words to everyone, your recognition of the broader implication of

everything that the poured does to the communities we serve is so important. so -- that the port does to the communities we serve is so important. it's just been an honor to serve with three of you. and victor, who's an old friend of mine, and gail, you're very lucky to be able to serve with these three, and i hope you'll be able to enjoy serving with them as much as i did. again, i want to thank you for all of the comments, guidance, kind words and incredible hard work that you've done over the years, but most of all i want to thank everyone for their friendship during this time, and you will be missed, but certainly, don't be strangers, so thank you. >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you, leslie. >> thank you so much. emotional.

i have two announce two items that are bringing beautiful art to our waterfront. one is the ground breaking for the bayview gateway community art piece. this'll be may 25 at 11:30 at yslais creek. and this new installation, it will have the ribbon cutting on the installation. it's called "yslais why the," l be the official entrance to the corridor. the event will take at 11:30 on the 25th. i want to thampang the partnero made this happened, the commissioners, of course, the southern waterfront committee, it was paid for by the parks geobond. we're very excited to see this art ribbon cutting on may 31 at

11:00 a.m., we will be having a dedication to dedicate a piece of art that sin they siz-- syn 15 sizes. we're really, really thrilled that we're going to have this piece of art that commemorates our relationship with them. many thanks to the port staff, dan hodak, and the leasing team, as well, who has helped

to make this a reality. and finally, we had our a rating confirmed by s and p with a stable outlook. the report is in your packet, and a very interesting term to read with how the agency is viewing our credit. congratulations to our finance team and to the port commission for your sound financial management strategies. and that concludes my report. thank you. >> thank you. is there any public comment on the executive director's report? commissioners, any comments? >> first of all, i'd like to thank my fellow commissioners, president brandon, commissioner gilman, and commissioner makras and commissioner woo ho, thanks the port staff for being here today at our swearing in, and looking forward to being here for another four years, especially in a city where everything's kind of up in the air. i look forward to the next kind

of four years and trying to figure out the direction the city will go in. also, i want to thank jack from pier 70. everybody was there except for commissioner woo ho down at pier 70 for the floor city. it was a great event. mayor farrell, supervisor cohen, a lot of people spoke that was a part of this dream, and to see the family come out from back east and just lay -- everything was laid out, and i think we're on the right path. and i think it was a great day from san francisco and director forbes said something when she was up there speaking that made me think. she said she had a couple of epiphanies. i think she felt mayor lee's spirit that day, and jennifer matz' and others, and it was a great day at the pier, so thank you very much. >> so we are going right into the port commissioner's report. does anyone have any comments?

i do want to welcome commissioner woo ho and commissioner adams back to the commission. they were reappointed for another four years, and they were sworn in prior to this commission meeting, so we are very, very happy to have them back. [applause] the pier 70 ground breaking was a phenomenal event. it actually happened. it was great. a lot of great speakers, like commissioner adams said, everyone was able to make it except for commissioner woo io, who was traveling. it was a phenomenal event, and we can't wait to see shovels going in the ground, although we have pictures of shoveling, but it was a great event, and i want to thank jack for putting together such a great event, and i can't wait to see the results of that project. does anyone want to say

anything else? is there any public comment on the commissioner's reports? okay. [agenda item read] >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm with planning and environment. i'm joined here today by the forest city team including jack sylvan and kathrin riley, examine their consultants, james kennedy, jeremy regenbogen, and charles chase. as amy stated, we're seeking approval of the pier 70, 28-acre site, phase one, park schematic designs as required in the disposition and development agreement. the pier 70, 28-acre site development approvals occurred in the fall of 2017.

the special use district included a design for development, also referred to as a d for d package, which are design controls for the development project, including all the open spaces. the disposition and development agreement requires that the project parks go through a public design review process by a newly established design advisory committee which was appointed by the port's executive director with input from the san francisco planning department's executive director which has been established. the slide before you shows the overall pier 70 site plan to provide some context. on the north is the crane cove park project, which includes a temporary parking lot, the 19th street and georgia street extensions. to the east of that is the b.a.e. ship repair. which have a historic core which is the purple buildings south which are buildings 102,

103, and 104, and then, we have the 35 acre special use district, of which 28 acres is the forest city site. the forest city portions of the 28-acre, the high-level land use program is approximately 2,000 residential units, 1.4 million square feet of commercial development, 400,000 square feet of retail, arts, and production distribution and repair uses along with eight acres of parks. with that i'd like to introduce richard kennedy who's going to provide an overview of all of the parks and a few more details on the schematic design of phase one. and then once richard concludes, i'll have a few closing items and we'll be ready for comments. richard? >> hello, commissioners. on behalf of the development

and design team, we are very excited to be here to share with you the schematic designs for the pier 70 parks and open space. we've been involved as landscape architects with the forest city team development team since 2013, and we've never lost site of how extraordinary this project is, this place is in the city, and this opportunity to reimagine a new access to this important part of san francisco's waterfront. the image in front of you is an aerial view of the pier 70 site. our project site is bound by the white outline there. just fore simple orientation on the right-hand side, you have the ship repair site and the dry docks, crane cove in the background right. background image of dogpatch neighborhood as well as potrero hill, the former potrero power plant on the left-hand side. and note the finger piers in the foreground of the image, which are an extraordinary existing aspect of the site that we're leveraging toward

design. but other thing, the pier 70 does stick out at part of the peninsula, and so it is something to notice that this new waterfront has an extraordinary position on the waterfront. it sticks out into the bay and enjoys a fantastic panorama. we have been involved in the d for d plan since 2014 in curating a mixture of spaces and a mixture of experience that leverage the important industrial and historic qualities of this place. as we've developed the schematic designs of forest city with the team, we've worked in building in the diversity of environments, diversity of experiences that neighborhood residents and new residents can experience here. the project is arranged from a number of historic buildings. you can see on the top left of the -- of this plan, the orton site, so buildings 113 to 18 and buildings 14 around their

new piazza project. at the very center of our project are three historic buildings: building two, building 12, and building 21. and they become the core of our project. and everything grows outward from that center point. our work over the past many months and in working with port staff has been developing the schematic designs for these open space limits. beginning with the core, the core area around the historic buildings, and then growing outward to the waterfront. the common ways is the city park of the new district, the new neighborhood and then of course we have a continuous waterfront park experience running from north to south for the length of the site. so we've been developing the designs for all of these spaces. that said, these spaces here are the first phase parks projects. and what's great about the first phase is it both captures

the center and the historic core, but it links that to the waterfront. and i'll now walk you through the key experiences and key places, starting with the center and just to quickly orient you again, what we call the central space of building 12 and market square areas is defined principlely by building 12, the big historic shed that will be reimagined as a maker's market hall with shops and restaurants, locally inspired to have artisans makers and shops here as a retail destination. building two will be a retail building flanks that as a neighbor. what's going to distinguish this area is this historic building 12 as an industrial heritage building, but also building 15. what you see in this image here

is the frame, the metal truss structure of the building 15, the neighbor of building 12. we take the cladding off and leave the trellis and invites people in. it will be a great memorable and much talked about moment in the city that really evokes the industrial history. once underneath that frame you have access to building 12, this great new marketplace for the neighborhood, all of dogpatch in san francisco, all inspired by its industrial armature. on the north side of building 12 is market square, and the idea here is it's an open, flexible market space where the programs inside building 12 can spill out, whether it's vendors or a market program, clean market, food market, it can occupy the space, but it's also just a casual and every day

space for residents and neighbors. then from the center outwards, we have the slip ways commons or the central park of the new -- the new district. and what distinguishes this park is that we are insubscribing in the center of this park is the historic promenade. this is one of those sites where the crane would move into the peers. that's now being described as the centerline of the park, the main pathway from the center of the project out to the waterfront. and that's flanked by a series of spaces, some seating casual spaces, lounge spaces, garden spaces, dining terraces that face the frontages of buildings, and then a series of elements that are attractions that bring people together. this is an image looking down the park to the bay front, and you can see the location of gardens and elements that create a kind of calm and respite within the district,

furnishing and seating that's overscaled to bring a lot of people to sit together in the park. you can see building 21, historic building now positioned on a parkland there in the center left. and there's a series of elements and attractions that create an episodic series of sequences from those projects out to the waterfront. one of those first elements to encounter is what we call the hull. and it's inspired by ship building, skb so this is a historic image of ships made on the central site. you see the ships made create that crescent shaped hollow. we' we're turning that into a big hole owe that evokes the history of the site but evokes something new, it can serve as a seating element, so the benches here face the sun, face the south. it can be an

impromptu performance space. it frames the view, but it also is a place to tell this interpretive historic layer about how ships were made here that buttress the country's world war ii effort and beyond. now in the background here, you start to see the main element that book ends the park, and it's one of three pavilions, and we call these the viewing pavilions within the waterfront, and they're inspired by the ship building heritage and the fact that very large, important ships to our country's war time history were assembled here, and they are massive large scale elements, so we want to evoke some of that history and scale and power that comes from that story but also make something that is a loveable element of the new waterfront. so the first of those pavilions

is called the crane way pavilion. it frames the view of the horizon. you can see the salesforce tower in the background left, the yerba buena gardens and the waterfront of oakland all captured here. it's big and impressive and tough, but it also has a playful side in that we're hanging swings from the left and right-hand side. so these porch swings will hang from the structure. so it's a way of making a two-fold thing, something that evokes history and the powerfulness of the port as a place and on the working waterfront of the city but also something that's new, new for residents and new for experiences on the waterfront. you can see on this image here, to, the terracing that helps us to address sea level rise, building up the waterfront to a higher elevation, but also gives more prospect over the whole bay. and then, a view, again, looking back on the other side now, the pavilion, looking back at those terraces that also

provide that viewing position with skyline views to the city and the broader bay panorama, and the swings that sit and provide that social element for people throughout the day and year. the next level design will take into account more poetic qualities into the craft ofs these elements so they can actually have a refined and poetic quality to them. framing the slip ways commons and the waterfront pavilion are the north and south pavilions. the north is defined by the bay trail that runs north to south and links it to crane cove. it's also distinguished by the second pavilion, called building six pavilion, and then, a long, linear picnic line, to a green open terrace, unobstructed views out to the stay and historic pier 70 out

in the water. you can have a good afternoon event out on the eastern waterfront which often receives more sun and blue skies. adjacent to that green picnic area, picnic terraces with fixed picnic tables, so folks can grab a table and enjoy lunch out on the view. whereas the northern waterfront is the more green and more passive of spaces, the southern waterfront is more about extending the cafe and retail life of the ground floor residential programs out into the waterfront. and so the bay trail extends through this portion of the waterfront, flanked by cafe and dining terraces adjacent to the ground floors of the buildings, but also these lounging and picnic areas now enjoying great unobstructed views of the waters. so a mixture of chaise lounges and bar tops that have a view

of the bay and these finger piers that are assembled for access and view of the water next is 22nd street. you can imagine just passing through the building 15 frame and walking more towards out the waterfront. the end of the 22nd street corridor is framed by the third and final pavilion, that's the full width of the right-of-way, and it frames the view and draws people out to the edge. this is a little different in its design. this is designed so that people can sit within it, so there's terraces and seating spaces that are steps down within the pavilion, so you can have this calm, quiet moment looking out at the eastern bay front and enjoy this special moment on san francisco's edge. you can also see in this image this is taken from one of the finger piers, and you can see how a short line pathway is at the level that connects all finger piers together.

so not only do you have the upper bay trail experience that runs throughout the whole project but you have a more intimate, quiet, and smaller scaled series of pathways that link to the historic peers. and then the southern edge of the site, a softer, greener edge of the project with a small ramp that links from the bay trail down to that shoreline pathway and the finger piers. and then, the last point, the last layer that we've talked a lot about the social qualities and the kind of historic heritage elements that will build in richness. but one of the details -- one aspect of the details that we're developing is a historic development and master plan, and we're going to be building in stories of how pier 70 was positioned in the city in the development detail of the project. this is an overall map

describing a narrative framework across all of pier 70 with the idea of the green circles being that there might be multiple hubs of information, so center points where many stories are told. so there's stories of people that worked here, the stories of the ship building site, of industrial and architectural development, development of the port as a landscape. the red and blue dots are a variety of elements, so talking about historic buildings, and other historic and smaller moments that can all be arranged throughout the sites. maybe etching in the ground planes to signs that could have interpreter panels and more details narrative base stories to map and 3 d where you've got an extrusion of say at its peak

world war ii era. number five, they could have text panels inscribed, a number of techniques that could just add to the richness. not only do you get here and have the great presence of historic buildings now reimagined with new uses, the parks and open spaces, but it's the kind of detail that will warrant more visits. each time you come back you will see and discover something new. we're excited by the close out date. we're working very hard to get it right and make sure that we make this waterfront something that is special for the future but that it evokes its unique past, so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you, richard. as previously mentioned, the port's executive director established a design advisory committee to review the park's design for both the commission rock and pier 70 projects for

consistency with their design controls. so in this case, for consistency with the design for development, d for d. the d.a.c. met twice, once in february , once in may, one of which included a meeting with the bay conservation's design and review board. each wz -- was publicly noticed. the d.a.c. approved the preliminary schematic designs of all of the parks within the suda area, and 9 bbucdrb approved the shoreline parks within their jurisdiction as well the d.a.c. approved the schematic designs for phase one. the d.d.a. also required that forest city conduct community outreach, in addition to the design review meetings, the port hosted a c-w.a.g. meeting

where the early plans were proposed in early april. they held a separate meeting in the dogpatch neighborhood which was attended by over 100 people. they met the requirements of the d.d.a., and overall, the design advisory committee and the public seemed to be very happy and excited about the project and want to see it move forward quickly. next steps, should you approve phase one, would be to come back to the commission in the near future to get approval of the preliminary schematic design of the entire 28-acre site and then subsequently as they move forward with phases two and three, they'd come back to the commission for approval. with that, we're available for any questions. thank you. >> thank you. can i have a motion? >> so moved. >> i'll second. >> is there any public comment on this item?

>> my name is penny wells, and i'm a sea kayaker. i believe to the bay area sea kayakers, which is a local kayaking club with about 600 members. i also am on the advisory committee for the san francisco bay water trail. the prospect of having a beach with a boat house, a place where nonmotorized boats can launch and land has us pretty excited. when this project is completed, it'll probably be one of the premier sites on the san francisco bay water trail, and what i can tell you is that from -- you probably already know this. when you see san francisco from

the water, it's a completely different perspective. it's a perspective that is quite wonderful, and when this site is finished, and people are able to get out on the water in kayaks and standup paddle boards and whatever they've invented to get around in by that time, it's going to be quite magnificent, and it's something that san francisco resident and visitors will be able to experience to get the perspective.
