aquatics park used to be called black. cove -- blackpoint cove. it has been an historic area for the city of san francisco since it was settled and it remains a today. -- remains so today. i looked at the report in detail a few weeks ago and scanned it again today, and my feeling is the eir is incomplete at best. whether these items were skipped, i do not know, but they have to look at aquatic park and the activities. a lot of questions come to mind. how big is the super jumbotron? how big will it be? will the super jumbo yachts be going in and out of the code? will there be america's cup staff imposing restrictions on swimming or rowing or other uses of the cove? i would like to see those details addressed. i think we all would. thank you. >> my name is diane watson. i lived at 1410 taylor in san francisco. i have the privilege of serving as the boat captain at the dolphin club. the disparity between some of the sections that have been referred to and the lives that we lead on the bay are striking. i would say that you look at the respect that ha

stewards of aquatic park. and instead of completely ignoring us and therefore probably limiting our use of the cove and alienating us, they could actually benefit from us being ambassadors to san francisco. in addition to that, the images that will be broadcast all over the world about san francisco, i think they would be enhanced by seeing the kinds of things that go on at the club every day, rowing and boating, not something that happens every place. so it is a unique cultural asset that the people that are putting this event on should exploit and not try to squash. thank you for listening. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners. my name is mike savage. i am a stroo teenagic planning and the lead for the national park soferse america's cup. i am speaking to you today on behalf of the two national park units that have been identified, golden gate and san francisco national historic -- san francisco national maritime historic park. more than simply spectator venues they provide over 16 million visitors

there is nothing that is equivalent to aquatic park. there is nothing that can beat the relative calmness of the water, the beach you can walk into with no riptides. there is no place in san francisco that offers this water variation and the joy of the beautiful scene for its citizens, and also the elderly trying -- i am a senior citizen. just being able to get to that senior center. we will be cut off. i was sorry to see this rich man's project impede upon just plain folks in the bay area, not just san francisco. thank you. >> yes, hi. good afternoon. my name is terri shore. we are at an ocean conservation group based in marin. i am here today because i love the bay. i admit i am getting a little bit cold feet because the environmental prenuptial agreement, if you will, that has been written does not go far enough to protect the bay area's air and water and marine life from the effects of the crowds and the marine vessels and the waterfront developer that is proposed as part of the project. -- the waterfront development that is propose

aquatic park, i enjoy the water of the bay, enjoy surfing. i realize being in the water here is a very personal experience on a changing basis. the water tastes different one day and different another day. you feel that it is your bay. while i am excited about the america's cup, i grew up in the bay fishing and swimming and boating. for every time i am on the water i realize that boy, nobody really experiences this. i don't know the figure but probably 2% of the people in san francisco make it on the water. so many times i said other people should experience it. america's cup will allow people to get to the water's edge and in and out of and on top of our bay and experience that. i am excited about that. relate to the long-term development plans, i wanted to point out that those developments will meet the port regulations and state land restrictions. so there is some level of asurance there on that part. i think that is it. thank you though. >> commissioner moore. >> i just wanted to make a comment that this commission does not decide what th
