. >> yes, madam president, board of supervisors, i'm the general manager for archimedes banya. i am here today on behalf of mikhail brodsky because he had to travel for work. we've been in this since 2015. we believe we are the descendants of suit raback. i'm really worried about the construction that's about to happen in our back yard. there are a few reasons why, you know? first of all, the dust that's going to come up, it's going to be sucked in that building. it's just right where the construction starts. there's a few things that's really concerning me. what happens when you dig in or they dig in, and they find something in there? what if it's released in the air, and what if it's sucked inside my building? what happens to us? what happens when the trucks with -- big trucks with big engines and fumes and big generators are just going on and on and on right to where our business? it's going to kill us. the other thing, you know, talking about radio active materials, you know? couple of weeks ago, they said how, if you find something, there's a contingency plan, but no one p

i'm here to support archimedes banya. i've been working there now for going on four years, and i must say, it's definitely a wellness center, and this proposed plan to build all these units and these high-rises is going to decimate our clientele, our businesses, just absolutely going to suffer. not to mention the noise from all the building, but all the particulate that's going to be coming into the air that we're going to be breathing inside of our saunas. it's just absolute chaos. when you think about it, people come on a daily basis, people trying to get well, trying to cure themselves of cancer, different types of disorders, from depression, what have you, and they come to the banya as a place to get away from everything, to work out their problems, to get better, to heal, and now i'm hearing something about building these high-rises, all the particulate from the air, not to mention, you know, radiated rocks found on the beach. it's going to absolutely destroy our business. you're not taking us into account, and it's

the first appeal was filed by archimedes banya sf and 748 innes avenue hoa and the second by greenaction. as stated in the department's september 17th appeal response and september 21st supplemental appeal response, the india basin eir is adequate, accurate, and complete, and it complies with ceqa, the ceqa guidelines, and chapter 31 of the san francisco administrative code. the department has addressed all of the issues raised in the appeal in our appeal response and supplemental appeal response. i'll briefly highlight some of the issues mentioned by the appellants today and the department's responses to the appellants' claims. regarding air quality impacts, the eir disclosed that implementation of the project would result in significant air quality impacts and identified six mitigation measures to address those impacts. planning department staff have evaluated the existing mitigation measures and determined that mitigation measures maq-1a and maq-1c could be amended to require use of renewable diesel, which would further reduce the air quality impacts. >> president cohen: just so we ca

. >> okay, so my name's jason flores, also a representative from archimedes banya, but i wanted to show the notice of public hearing, when this first started occurring, notice of public hearing was only given in english. that does not represent those in the community and it's flawed that it was only represented with that. we should provide it in spanish, other things that the eir reports and comments was given in. i could go into many things about the cir, about how the air pollution is going to be contaminated, even with mitigation. it's going to be a very negative impact to the community. that the winds will be increased to hazardous winds, if you change the zoning in that area, as well, and that you, i believe, the most significant thing is that you are allowing materials to go into the air. read from what i wrote down. the biggest flaw and issue on why this project would not be in accordance of the safety of our environment and the committee is that the contract for continuing this project will be high. the impact of proposed project, particulate matter or equal to 2.5 meters in dia

you use a big inflatable bag you put air into and use archimedes principle of displacement to bring it to the surface. i have 10,000 pounds worth of lifting capability so i can get out of the water if i need to. but you attach this back to it and you inflate it with a separate air supply because you do not have enough air in your back so we had to carry down extra tanks just to lift decibel up which weighs over 100 pounds. now it is on the surface, we are on a 20 four -- 24 foot trailer boat, what do you do? the plan was we dragged it over to the diamond shoal, 2 miles off and set it down in the sand next to a record called the northeastern in only 35 feet of water in hard sand. we knew it was not going to go anywhere anyone else -- and no one else knew where this was it so we went back and got it after we got a commercial fishing boat that was big enough. we went back and picked it up and that fishing bowl -- boat rolled over and looked like it was going to be a shipwreck, it was on the deck and we brought it home. it's and conservation in a friends of mine house for three or four yea

what we are seeing today and archimedes is unacceptable. when our kindergartners are going to school for the first time and within the first week or so of getting there, they are learned to keep themselves safe shooting,from a mass that is no way for our children to have to live. i'm a mom of two boys in our public school system and been many days over the last couple of years where i wonder if my boys will make it home alive. unfortunately, that's what we see across this nation. i absolutely believe we need to fix this. we need universal background checks. we need to ensure we keep the people withhands of criminal or violet background for those with mental health issues. we need to close those loopholes and make sure there are background checks at gun shows, person-to-person sales, online sales and absolutely i would ban bump stocks. rep. young: manning bump stocks, absolutely. making sure the holes are filled in the background check system. internet,s and on the those are federally licensed firearms dealers. you have to have a background
