the beach, there's no perceptible light. as i understand, the light poles are slated to have caps on them that may make it so that -- i'm no bird expert, but from what i understand, birds fly toward a point of light and that the cap over the light alleviates that point. it's not to say that's not an issue to be concerned about but i think that helps lessen that problem. i appreciate that the project has changed, that the lights have come off of the edge of the fields and that they've come to the middle and that they've been lowered and that there's -- i think there's two settings, 50 and 30, with candles is the measurement. with regards to the field or the astro turf, like commissioner borden said, it's sort of to be learned at a later date, but i recognize that there was substantial effort put into the task force by department departf environment and department of public health to study it and to really challenge the turf industry to use more recycled materials and recycle the materials after they are taken out of the groun

i had my first soccer game at beach chalet. i had my first high school game at beach chalet. a couple of things i wanted to say about artificial turf. better for soccer, less injuries, and i think the arg is that there are toxins in the artificial turf. you can use biodegradable, they use coconut treading right now. more importantly, when i listen to the nature, and i am a fan of all nature, my favorite sound is to your kids laughing and playing. that is what i want to say. >> i think there should be turf on the fields because people trip, fall, sprained ankles, and get hurt often because the grass has pot holes. there should be turf. >> is this the last group of kids? i think we are going to -- we kind of understand. [laughter] thank them for coming down here today. >> i want turf because you did not have to water it very often. if you have real grass, you have to come down and water it, like, the whole field. >> my name is henry. i like turf fields because if you slip on a pothole or fall in a pothole, you can get seriously injured. there are no pot holes on the turf fields

kohanamoko beach in honolulu came in second, maine beach in hampton, new york came in third.on the list coastguard beach in cape cod was sikh and cape hatteras north carolina came -- was sixth and cape hatteras new york came in next. >> i have to agree with coronado. >> it's beautiful, but the pacific is cold. give me a beach so i don't have a heart attack when i go in the water. that's all i'm saying. rye, ladies? right, ladies -- right, ladies? right, ladies? >> yes. >> if you're talking about the holiday weekend, it's going to be more like july 4th. this is our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son. temperatures downtown in the mid-80s, in fact, temperatures everyone running in the mid-and some cases upper 80s, lots of sunshine now, winds out of south at 11, pressure steady 30.10 inches of mercury and dew point 70. when the dew points get to 70, it's the a good thing. satellite and radar picture combined, these things are hanging on moving off toward the north east headed towards the bay. right now everything is on the other side of the bay. we'll keep the cha

the beach chalet soccer fields, the purpose why we're here today. again this photo shows the existing conditions and the proposed solution on the right. the present condition is grass field. the the soccer fields are currently fenced with an eight-foot link -- chainlink fence around the facility and it's currently closed about half the time during the year and is only used through formal permit and reservation process. next slide. so a little bit more. the soccer field at the west end of the park hads been in existence more than 75 yards -- years and it's one of our three primary athletic facilities. during the fall more than 1,500 kids and 600 adults play at beach chalet every week. the soccer field in scale, golder gate's total is, this is less n -- than 1% of the fat -- facility. current condition, the fields are closed for rents about 50% of the time as a mentioned. it's only open by reservation and closed before 3:00 p.m. most week days, closed every monday throughout the year and closed due to winter season conditionsnd staff maintenance needs

we're talking about myrtle beach, the myrtle beach area. and this is the official -- i have the official myrtle beach visitors guide. right inside it says number one best beach in the united states by trip vitzor 2 -- trip advisor 2010 and 2011. i didn't know that. >> myrtle beach is very underrated. it's 60 miles which is why it's called the grand strand. 60 miles of beach that for the most part it public. you know when you go to most beaches if you're not staying the at hotel, you're not getting the best areas of the beach. so untrue with myrtle. you can literally ride down the main strip, pull up on the side anywhere where there's beach access and have the best experience. >> what about the hotels? do they run the gamut from medium to high to inexpensive? >> they do. myrtle beach is historically known as very budget conscious. you can mom and pop hotels, condos going up. recently i experienced the more luxurious side of myrtle beach. i stayed at the marriott grand dunes resort and spa which is the number one north american marriott resor

i lived in san francisco, my -- played in beach chalet. i broke my leg in beach chalet playing. i've had four cart idgeage operations all from playing on grass fields. you go to sunset, it's artificial grass. it's not about the children that. out on a sunday morning, 70-year-old men playing. they're not in -- not in a hospital, they're out there getting energy. this is about the whole community. it's not just about children. it's about adults, about everybody. everybody gets benefit out of these fields. the fields right now you can't play in them. three months of the year you can't play in them. it's a nine-foot fence. no children can get in to play. that's why the children are leaving san francisco i believe because of this. so the thing is, we are only talking about a small piece of golden gate park. not talking 25, 30 acres. you're talking about seven acres in a park. i'm an adufment i would not send my children out there. you can't even go out there, it's so dangerous. with the boards and the lights and everything. go out there, there's nobody out there because people are af

chalet and all these kids are affected by beach chalet. the question about grass fields is will they suffice? and the grass fields unfortunately are locked. the better the field, the more it has to be locked. i know the concern here is will families be leaving and are families leave and is this one more thing? so our next speaker is a child who is moving to hills borrow in july over this kind of issue. ty swensson. >> yes, i am leaving to hills borough. it's because -- belinelli -- chime chime --ing [belinelli] >> it's because i really want beach chalet to become turf and there aren't that many turf fields so my family is moving so i can play socker for more time. of the year. >> my name is luke bronson and i support the turf. the reason is i live in the richmond neighborhood and i -- when i want to play on the school night when i have no homework and nothing to do, when i go out to beach chalet it's always locked to let the grass grow or something like that. if it's turf they don't have to let the grass grow, and kids will be able to play

i don't think the heat at beach chalet will be a problem too often. although there are areas where it is warmer, that is one of the sites. i can testify, i think the kids are right about playing on the artificial turf on some of the older fields of san francisco. i played softball on many fields before the was artificial turf, and we had a lot of problems with the fields in those days. it was hard to play softball, and i think soccer would be more difficult. i am going to move to certify the eir, if there are no other comments. >> second. >> commissioners, the action before the planning commission, the motion before the planning commission is to certify the final eir. on that motion -- [roll-call vote] thank you commissioners, that motion passes for-one, with commissioner moore voting no against.
