1:49 pm
if it's activated. i think it's great if we could continue to bring these temporary entertainment type of uses onto the island. i think it would really help with just liechbing up the island even during the construction. it seems like the circus, for example, was a perfect type of temporary use, and as i understand, i think the city now has pretty flexible temporary use permits. maybe we can think about bringing on other temporary vendors. it's more, you know, easily to breakdown, not like a permanent structure. the other thing that i wanted to say is supervisor matt haney is going to be having a town haul on the city's $180 million budget windfall tomorrow at 8:30. everyone is invited. i would encourage every constituent in d-6 or outside
1:50 pm
of d-6 to attend and share your thoughts tomorrow on how the money should be spent. thank you. >> president tsen: thank you. and i hope that circuses will become a permanent fixture during the holidays. what a great tradition to have on treasure island. any other items? hearing none, next item, please. >> clerk: item number 6, consent agenda. 6-a, approving the minutes of the december 6, 2018 meeting. 6-c, resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a first amendment to lease number 1133, with we are home restaurant, l.l.c., d.b.a.merce restaurant for approximately 10,000 square feet of space, to develop and operate a container restaurant facility. >> so moved.

[voting] >> president tsen: all those opposed? the ayes have it. >> clerk: item number seven, yerba buena island open spaces and trails. >> my name is jamie phillips. i'm a landscape architect with c.m.g. architecture. i actually worked on the plan about seven or eight years ago. i was one of the authors, and today we've started some new design work on yerba buena island, and we want to share some work around the couple of parks on yerba buena island and some of the open space and some of the habitat and restoration work that's going to be happening this year. so yerba buena island is going
1:52 pm
to be a really great regional destination in terms of the region. it's just a crazy island in the middle of bay where they're going to have panoramic views around the entire island. earlier phase worked on the shaded blue color. those are stormwater treatment gardens and the streets, and today, we're talking specifically about trails and open space in the area that's outlined in blue, and then, two of the parks are being developed, new stairs down at the beach park at clipper cove, and a dog park that's up near the top in the middle of the island. all of yerba buena island is going to be more connected in the future. one of the more important ones is the orange dash line and the bay trail will be coming over
1:53 pm
the eastern span of the bay bridge. it'll be part of the connectivity that'll be part of yerba buena island. there's a whole series of urban pedestrian and bike paths, and now we're working on these yellow trails, which are specifically woodland trails like out in nature and out in the habitat restation areas. and -- restoration areas. and these green areas show you the parts that we are restoring now that is part of some of the work out on the island today. the trails moving through the nature are going to connect a whole series of mini destinations around the island, like the historic california buckeyes on the west side. there'll be a meadow over near quarter 62, connects over to the great whites, so there's
1:54 pm
multiple ways to move around the island in the future, walking and hiking. so one of the things i have here, a series of trail loops that we have on the island. there'll be one called the island loop. that's about a two-mile loop around the island. it's changing in elevation about 340 feet, so it's a pretty difficult trail vertically, but you can easily achieve it as a looping around the island. one of the other loops is called the stairs loop. that's a series that takes you up and down the vertical parcels. there'll also be another spur trail that is taking you kind of from the great whites out to torpedo points. and one of the things to think out at y.b.i. is we're the vertical island, and the flat
1:55 pm
island is next door at treasure island, but as part of this trail system, we started thinking about accessibility with the trails. we worked with san francisco's d.p.w. access coordinators. d.p.w. access coordinator ahn, the best access for use. the system is all complying with the way the federal standards for trail accessiblity. so let's take a quick little walk around the island. we're going to go around the circumstance here on this receipt trail loop. we're going to start on the west side of the island and near the strolling garden are the california buckeye, kind of where this is. so here's the historic california buckeye there were there before we started development on the island as part of a cemetery. that's there now, during
1:56 pm
construction. you can continue on that side of the island. the trail will continue around the east and south side -- west and south side of the tanks, through the new housing, and you can get to another lookout and viewpoint that will be above the eastern span of the bay bridge and views back to the city from that side and then, this takes you around the side of the coast guard area, and you can see the new eastern span of the bay bridge from the top of that. and views over the great whites and underneath the bridge, and then, work your way back around the north side of the island, around quarter 62, where you start to have some really
1:57 pm
lovely views of clipper cove, and back to treasure island. and then, as you're coming around, there's this historic stair there that has been on the island a while. that'll be a part of the trail system, and nearby, this part would be where you can stop off. it has a bacci court, and you can spend the day. and then, you continue down onto the beach park at clipper cove. and the beach park at clipper cove has been developed at some previous phases, but at the moment, we were restudying what the stair -- the existing stair is going to look like as you go from the beach park down to clipper cove, with the views down back to the bay bridge. the existing stair is over to the right. it was the dash lines, and we're looking at a stair that
1:58 pm
has a more gradual -- transitions more gradually down to the beach. with code now, we need to add in a couple of landings, which makes the stair longer, so we've looked at a stair that winds its way down the side of the hill, has a few landings oriented toward the bridge and treasure island, and has a landing near the bottom so to give you pause and a couple of benches there. that trail that's going off to the north of this view is going back up to treasure iceland. that's an accessible path from treasure island to get down to clipper cove beach. one of the other kind of nas destinations on yerba buena island is this little road. it's -- we're calling it yerba buena point. it's over some rocky outcrops,
1:59 pm
and you kind of have this -- a series of views from here of angel island, the golden gait brid -- golden gate bridge. so we're going to organize the trail and places to pause around views like this. and then, there's a dog park on yerba buena island that we've continued to develop. it's going to be kind of embedded in the i'd of the hill. -- side of the hill. it's going to use the native sand stone from y.b.i. it'll have a series of social spaces for the people that live there to hangout, and then kind of a longer dog run for dogs to run and play. and then through all of these parks, i'll see through a
2:00 pm
series of habitats and plants. there is a diagram from several years ago, and this is showing some of the i have been foo, like really robust, tract native plant communities that were on the island, and those are all still there? that purple one, those are the california buckeyes that i showed a picture of earlier. most of these -- all of these are kind of outside of the development areas except for a few areas of coast boxwood. and then, the other part of the island was covered in nonnative eucalyptus woodland, and as part of the construction, we've been removing those. most of those are also gone, with the intention of removing eucalyptus with the intent of removing live coast woodland. so those areas that we're going to be
