it's the same group that's worked on pier 70. we'll have clear guide posts and references to the history of the property. this is our preferred project. it's a series of buildings, ranging from 85 to 300 feet. there's a single 300 foot tall tower that is a counter point to the stack, so the stack is 300 foot tall. it's intended to reflect the height of the stack. we've also studied sticks preservation alternatives in our e.i.r. we came before this body at the a.r.c. several months. we did modify our list of alternatives on the basis of feedback from this body. we added another full preservation alternatives, so we have two full preservation alternatives and four partial alternatives, about as much as you could possibly study in terms of alternate version of the site. the full preservation alternate that we've included as a result of the a.r.c.'s comments maintains both the same program as the project we're proposing as well as the proposal of the three individual significant resource resources,. what you'll see is because the met

we know there's pier 38. it's six years, i can't believe it, six years, it hasn't been rented out. we thought it would be done in 12 months. i know it's a problem child. it has its own particular issues, but besides that, there's got to be some other things that aren't waiting six years to be rented out. i think we've got to put it front and center. because it relates to what we're trying to achieve here at the port, which is to generate capital and sustain ourselves in all the things that we need. >> any other new business? okay. can i have a motion -- >> and if there's no other thing else, i'd like to adjourn in the memory of kevin manning. >> is there a second? >> second. >> all in favor?

we had those type of presentations, particularly with pier 70. we spent a lot of time on that. we spent a lot of time on india basin with repeat presentations, particularly as they lead up to the e.i.r., so that we really do the plan justice in a manner that reflects a broad array of comments that we heard today. many of them are in support. some of them raise interesting issues, but to be fair, to a broader understanding of all pros and cons, i personally would like to ask that we have a more detailed, slightly larger time slot of a thorough presentation of this plan. >> may i? >> commissioner moore: sure. >> so there will be the first of presumably several. you will see a draft e.i.r. soon, and there will be several months before the final e.i.r. comes, so we will have time between the draft and the final e.i.r. to give you comments on the plan. >> commissioner moore: what i would like to ask the kind of framework presentation is presented earlier. the e.i.r. is there to raise critical questions that we look at. i'd like to understand the plan just for the nature of the plan,

at the same time, we recognize that there are already major projects underway, including pier 70 and potrero park plan projects along the waterfront, so we coordinated with david on top of the planning process to ensure that connections to the waterfront and throughout the neighborhood connect -- are all addressed. we also had aimed for six key outcomes, and the first one is to setup holistic visions for future investmented that would select community priorities. also we want to make sure the planning provides for public coordination because the public realm has a lot of overlapping city jurisdictions. it was important to have important coordination between agencies so we can carry out the vision we came up with together. we also want to make sure that parks and streets are integrated with the community characteristics because the community has a lot of cultural and historic heritage, and we want to make sure that those are recognized. also for the city story industrial area, we want to make sure we have infrastructure for pedestrians. and lastly, but most importantly, as robin said,
