throughout the construction. >> and that's during the seismic and phase 1? >> yes, that would enable us to do it. you may not have nodtioned. we will not be putting office in the second floor of the shed. ~ noticed in phase 1 because that's going to be [speaker not understood]. we think it doesn't make sense to put the offices in the second floor of the shed and then take them back out a year later. >> i think the biggest difference i saw other than some of the new things that simon did to take our ideas -- [laughter] >> -- was that our project tried to address your request which was if you ever get phase 1, can you do it? and then if you get phase ii, how would you do it. so, i think the difference, if i heard it correctly -- i don't know, i'm not asking simon a question. but to do the seismic upgrade for just the bulkhead i can't imagine it's economically feasible which i think his are more tied together. so, we're prepared to do a phase 1 if that's what you say you're prepared to transact. ~ as we proposed it. and that's why we have the uses that we have.

next to slides, shows enough time line of addressing sea level rise and seismic issues. to prevent the water front from flooding and associated with sea level rise of 15 inches or so, and ex-expected to occur by 2050 we will need to start installing flood protection barriers along the wharfs and piers by 2030, and we are going to start exploring solutions expected to occur by 2100. and the next i will talk and i will talk about the time line for addressing the seismic issues. >> we are working on the plan to investigate the seismic risks along the port water front and this will be followed by complete evaluation for next for the four to five years and ultimately. and we are working with the other cities and including the city capitol planning and to increase the sea wall issues and to include the sea wall in the city's capitol plan. and i will like to end my presentation with some interesting ideas for climate adaptation. the first one shows the barrier along the pier 27 structure and the second one, which is not shown here, and we need to disconnect our piers from the s

so again, it probably is part of the seismic retrofit. you don't want them starting the garage until main permit is obtained. if that permit is attempted to get started, you want to ask questions about that. that's a concern. >> mr. duffy do you have anyantly -- knowledge of this building of the penthouse and the dbi? >> i can look it up. >> mr. sanchez? up to you. >> scott sanchez, planning department. the subject before you for the request is the shoring permit and foundation permit whiches not reviewed by the planning department. it's been alluded to the larger department. i denied a rear yard variance that they saw the for the vertical addition. the project was subsequently revised and that project is under review. the foundation replacement if that's what's being done, we would have no issue with that in the planning department reviews and guidelines. >> i have a question, mr. sanchez, if the permits are not connected and they are doing an up grade up existing foundation. there is one slot for a garage. >> by the jurisdiction request

when the mandatory seismic retrofit program first came to the board, i think many of us were very excited and very supportive. bunn one of the concerns i brought up at land use committee and several colleagues on the board was the 100% pass through to our tenants. there are cases of course where tenants can afford to pay for this pass through, but we have a lot of concerns for our tenants who can't particularly in the housing market that both supervisor mar and president chiu spoke of. and just wanted to speak again about the process itself. through this process i heard from tenants and advocates who have gone through the process of applying for the hardship application and just hearing about how invasive the process is and how long it can take. the intake process alone, when you first go into an office into the tenant's union can be up to 7 hours to gather all of the information, put the application together, and go to court where you can be cross-examined by your landlord and a lot of questions about your personal information is often told in public. so, really glad to see that we have,

you mentioned that japan and taiwan are both in the opposite seismic region. that is why they were the only two which have emergency systems. during the fukushima accident, this works because the reactor was scrapped when the earthquake happened. that means it was brought to the competition. the fukushima accident and the other both caused very severe damage. the consequences are totally different. they do not have any radioactive materials. i can explain later. what i am saying is the real ause for the fukushima accident is not an earthquake. i explain how we enhanced the synonymy -- the tsunami resistant capability. let me take another example. this figure shows that there were three power stations in japan there from the earthquake. there is another sign about 10 kilometers south. it is getting closer to the epicenter of the earthquake. consequences do not have an accident. the reason is they have a synonymy wall about 40.8 meters high. it is higher than these are not me -- dan d tsunami. the point i'm trying to emphasize is that this wall was dilts accordi

first, the 1976 soft story wood building is not up to current building codes for seismic sate. the technical engineer who has 50 years experience was to view the site. the drs. comment was no at&t was to be permitted on the roof without a complete seismic upgrade of the this. so in the absence of a service upgrade is a skeptic issue that was referred to in the previous hearing. the second problem although this application has been in the pipeline for 3 years until residents brought it to their attention both at&t and the city planning department overlooked that was identified as prone to flooding or was prone to flooding. so it appears prior to the june meeting at&t also waved it's magic one day over the department of public works. one day before the planning commission hearing stated this block is no longer prone to flooding. now should we ask the grand jury to look to d b w. why is potential flooding at this location an issue. contrary to at&t would have you believe while it's important to say this has batteries it is highly unusual to place thosees. this is because the equip

this historic agreement ensures that two brand-new seismically safe hospitals for our city are going to be built, while guaranteeing important health care and other benefits that san franciscans will enjoy for years to come. i want to thank everybody in this room, in particular all those that are standing behind me for getting us to this day that we can sign this agreement. and, yes, it's been long, it's been arduous, but i believe that we all agree it was definitely worth the effort. together and through our consensus building approach, we made it possible to build two seismically safe hospitals, advance the state of medical care in our city, and put thousands of san franciscans to work. i also want to take this moment and mention my personal thanks on behalf of the city, if i will, and i know the board will join me. i want to thank cpmc for their deliberate participation with some 10 other bay area hospitals to respond in the highest professional fashion to the critical emergency needs that we had this past weekend. you were one of many hospitals that took care of very seriously in

seismic, or earthquake is what is governing this design. th. the lateral system is the bearing wall, fairly stiff. i cannot recall the actual displacements, but they are not much more than a couple of inches. >> how do we finished these? give us a clue how you finish this thing. >> most of the exterior sa are what is called glass fiber reinforced concrete. it looks somewhat similar to the precast concrete panels. both are exterior skin panels fabricated of sight and brought to the site and assemble at the side of the building. it is three-quarters of an inch thick. mostly to steal, and it has to be engineered as a separate item functioning together, installed on to the face of the building. windows, doors, etc. go into openings, they get slashed and sealed with a joint sealant. typically we try and maintain 3 1/4 inch gaps between any kind of door or window, and a penetration to the outside. >> one issue with all buildings is water perpetration. probably the no. 1 problem is water leakage. how do we prevent that here? we have calking, flashing.

one scotts valley company seismic warning system says it

the company's engineers are working on new technologies, including seismic processing, letting them see deeper below the earth's surface. innovation that just ten years ago seemed unthinkable. >> years ago we could not see the reservoirs below salt. now for jack saint melo we're able to understand what's below the salt, determine the size of the reservoirs and help us in developing projects like this. >> but investment in technology isn't just being made for production purposes. it's also being made for safety. >> when we start designing a facility designing a well we're already thinking about how can we execute this work safely, how can we produce, use the facility, produce the wells, not only on day one but on the 30th year of production. >> despite the challenges bp

this is an area obviously with a lot of seismic activities. it's not unusual for those types of locations to energy those features. this slide shows the grout work take place on the opposite side of the valley on the right side. wu you can also see further in the slide down below the placement of the dam we're starting to move material into the new dam and also, this is a credible path item. we need to bring that rock fill up so we can button recess a better position on the slide this is a area that was identified from the beginning. so we need to bring that rack up as quickly as possible. and this is the last slide. nice overview of the entire slide again grout activity on the left and you can see the rock fill of the outer shell coming up there. annoy moving toering ton you've been briefed on the extremely challenging positions the skwooeg ground. the reason we decided to build this tunnel with the usual method the good news they're in better control we're not seeing as much ground water intrusion we're moving about 1 hundred and 50 feet a w

the major conclusion that was reached is 4216 california requires major seismic ubld and the at&t equipment currently on the roof as well as the proposed rooftop antennas present additional weight that will be subject to largely loads generated by kwaerths without an you are not talking about. in short the building with the at&ts equipment presents a life issue to the tenants and others of the public. the believes should be instructing them to remove the equipment of at&t to the building. please vote to deny the permit to this location >> next speaker >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is deborah. i'm one of the property owners located next door to the site. appellants report number 2 is a report certified by professionals. this gentleman was a u.s. environmental protection agency expert. this documents in detail the various health and safety paroles for at at to install their equipment including the acid batteries located on a building that's could be flooded. this has lead components and materials that could cause cancer and materials that react violently to heat. mr. hag man says thi

a living nightmare because they were operating a full-time class a restaurant while we were doing seismic upgrades. and that's just something you don't want to repeat. so, we drew it up in a way that we could do the phase 1 first, have the tenants with the food truck concept be flexible, and then come back if you decided in three years to award the second part. obviously as simon said, we both would rather do it all at once. by we tried to address it in a way that you could choose one versus the other. hopefully that's not an inaccurate statement. >> any other questions? >> i just want to thank you both for a really great presentation. you both sounded very experienced participants and i think it's a great project. that's all i need to say at this time. >> i want to piggyback off my fellow commissioners. too eagerly, this is just great. both different visions, both creative thinking, both out of the box. i just am impressed with both. this is a great project. wrong the port could be in a better position to have two excellent candidates. i really don't know what to say. [speaker not unders

including for seismic sate. the department it did not identify any unusual circumstances. on the second question our commission based their finding based on some decisions this board felt was important. in the past this board of supervisors has been concerned that the city departments have no way to determine where there's a true need for the wireless services but for the wireless provider. upon the direction of this board we've got a third party wireless study. in the past that requirement has shown that some were not need but that was not the case here there's a deficit in this area. the report also found that this commission determined that the facility would be capable with the city through further refinements to design. and it's this final dine we're working with at&t for the final design. i'll turn this over to my colleague. >> first, let's discuss the project. in the planning code to install the facility this project includes 9 panel antennas and nc one commercial district. the roof installation would be located within the ground floor area in the medical building.

not a total seismic bridge. which would have made it more expensive if it could have been done at all. tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> a new bay bridge is becoming quite a tourist destination. >> i loved it. it's beautiful. they did a great job. it profiles the city beautifully. i mean as the backdrop. >> i really like the architecture of the bridge. it's really beautiful. next time i'm not driving i'm going to take a picture. >> reporter: and many did. we saw one woman holding a cell phone through the sunroof. traffic seemed heavier than usual this morning but they say once they were on that bridge things flowed smoothly. >> oh, yeah. i think this is the happiest moment in my life. for tonight. i think people did not appreciate it. but as a toll taker they were saying, thank you, you got to open early. i said thank you. >> the toll taker said he had never seen so many people happy to take their money. some people took his picture and several people asked for his photograph. >>> and you can get the latest on

property at 676 howard, we identified it was a place not seismic ready for our members. it's as fire safety it's of paramount importance. when they talked to us about the ideas, they came together and decided to change properties. it's a total win win situation. we are combraet -- grateful for the efforts of the museum of modern art. we want to say thank you very much and would like to acknowledge mr. charles swab, thank you, sir. board president, mr. bob fisher, dennis wong and michael are here with us today. and a man that worked hard long hours with us and that is neale, the director of the museum of modern art. thank you so much. so we talked about this unique partnership. it became a real thing in 2010. lots of meetings and discussion, last year march 2012, we had ground broken on this station and # 12 months later we are here to celebrate the official opening. i'm going to mention other people, but without further a do i'm going to mention the first person i'm proud to work for is an innovative thinker who said yes, let's try this and that for better efficiency and

why wit took 25 years and five governors to finish the seismic fix? >>> and, how b.a.r.t workers say the transit agency is trying to force another strike. now at 6:30: the speeches are over... the digitaries >> we shouldn't just have a ridge. we should have a symbol of -- bridge. we should have a symbol of resile wrens, of accomplishments of -- resilience, of honor. >> the speeches are over. the diction well they have crossed the bridge. up nec, the bay bridge is going -- next, the bay bridge is going to open to the people who paid for it, the public. from our position atop the new bay bridge and the old span of the bay bridge, we have seen the chp come across lights and siren. we saw the dignitaries come across, the street sweepers for cal tran have made their way. but prior to that, there was the chain cutting in oakland. >> so together, 10, 9. >> 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 >>gavin newsom, former mayor willie browns also former speaker on hand. the officially, notably al absent, though, was our governor, jerry brown who we are told was out of town at a

that maybe you can talk a little bit more, lawrence about the caps program, the community action for seismicctivity, the building department is undergoing where the city identified the unreinforced masonry buildings and an effort to seismically upgrade those and the caps program is identifying the next levels of risk of buildings with these soft story buildings that almost our entire rental and rent controlled stock in the city. >> caps study seems to show the housing impacts are, in fact, some of the most -- >> right. then some of the older cement board buildings that don't have proper rebar in the cement itself really the things we can do at a policy level with the commission encouraging the board to make changes to, like, for instance, we had $100 million available to loan to building owners to upgrade their unreinforced masonry buildings. that wasn't used because people could get money on the commercial market cheaper. that money could be switched over to these new risk identified buildings and soft story buildings and the concrete board to encourage and incentivize these building owners

. >> as this building has changed in use it's also undergone a seismic upgrade. as we look around, you can see big steel braces down along that wall and up in the back, right beside the window you see these big diagonal braces. they did a seismic upgrade and came back and did it again. >> we were fortunate to get the use of that. there was the original pressed tin ceiling that they had ripped out so i guess it's plywood under here. the original floor is under here. they had told us it's just dirt but actually it's an old redwood floor under here. but it would cost about $100,000 because the way it was retrofited they would have had to pick it up and raise it. >> a lot of times when buildings become restaurants, they trigger all sorts of code requirements for upgrades. if you change from office space it a restaurant, you trigger all sorts of additional requirements because there's an increased hazard in the building code for restaurants. you have special exiting requirements, you have problems with preserving life safety for high numbers of people. a restaurant li

first is we're looking to not trigger a seismic upgrade. it's a very significant undertaking if we breach the occupancy thresholds here. so, it was one of the things that drove us in terms of selecting uses that we could put into the structure, particularly public assembly uses like restaurants trigger higher occupancy. so, we were driving towards a threshold -- there's 6 34 occupants potentially allowed in here based on the prior use ~. we are at 6 30, so, i think we're about as close as we're comfortable getting without triggering. we wanted to have active public uses. we looked at financial feasibility as a big tenant of what we were doing, knowing that we were trying to not invest huge amounts of money to do something very quickly. and you'll see we're looking for the fastest activation. we saw that as one of the primary requests in the rfp. initially it was structured to be fairly short term and quick. so, that's how we approached this. in terms of trust related uses, we got retail, dining, and i think as you saw, food trucks that we'r

so, that was an important cadence of this project as well as a lot of great seismic features we are piloting here at the park and piloting a response to sea level rise. so, we're very, very proud of everything you can see and a lot of what you can't see. and we'd also like to thank our partners at our other city departments starting with our dedicate and had hard working board of supervisors. the department of city planning. especially chelsea ford ham. department of public works [speaker not understood]. rec and park, and don, calem and nathan who helped us get this far. and i want to thank in particular president of the board, david chiu for always being there for the port when the waterfront has needs. and we look forward to a long future with him in that role. please join me in welcoming president chiu. (applause) >> thank you, monique, and good morning. so, when i was invited to come and participate at this event, i suggested that the elected officials, mayor lee and supervisor kim, that the three of us do a rendition of sitting on the dock by the bay. [laughter] >> and i just want to s

we finally have a seismic cliche' bridge. that quake was 6.1 magnitude and collapsed two 50-foot sections of the eastern span in 1989. they decided to build a new span instead of retrofit the old one. this animation, take a look, it shows how the bridge is suppose today ride out the next big one. the length beam on the suspension is one that absorbs energy from the future earthquakes. the road banks are connected and allows them to sway during next big earthquake. none of us want to feel it but the bridge is ready. >>> you know it's coming at some point and we hope it's ready to handle such a big earthquake. we have patchy fog and drizzle out along the coast line. looks like the sub tropical moisture is headed out of town. it will be less muggy and more sunshine on the way. temperatures start to get hot as we head toward the weekend. if you're stepping outside today, low pressure off the coast line kicking the moisture east ward. more sunshine today, near seasonal temperatures, mild to warm around the bay area. 18 degrees in
