we have analyzed excavation requirements. we need to excavate about 2/3 of the site in order to provide adequate head room for the buses to stage and store, and weave also completed the -- and we've also completed the layout of the facility. we continue our coordination with caltrans. we have been working on a seismic analysis for the west approach. as you know, caltrans put a lot of effort into upgrading the west approach over the last couple of years, and so we're going through a fairly lengthy effort to demonstrate our excavation in that area will not inhibit their structure that they recently upgraded. as part of that project effort, we have also submitted a p.s.r., project study report at the end of december, and now we're continuing to work with caltrans to supplement that with foundation reports, turnover analysis, and other supporting documents that will then allow caltrans to ultimately approve this project study report. slide here is a schematic layout showing what was shown in the original feir. the key things i wa

so that is a rock site, rock expedite -- rock excavation. this is part of the temporary shoring system that retains the walls of the excavation and prevents the building, other buildings from falling into the hole. >> where were we? >> we were driving around in the marina. we were looking over the perfectly flat marina green, at the whole marine area, which is also perfectly flat because it was artificial filled from the 1915 exposition. >> that is correct. it was hydraulics and pumped in from the bay. same principle, they built a dike on the outside it, and then pumped in the sand. and as we all know, in 1989, a lot of damage. lawrence can speak to the concept of soft story problems with the buildings, and the look of viable soil. in perfect concert with each other, you get major damage, sometimes collapsed. that is the subject of -- i guess we did a video of that about a year ago? >> would try to pick up all the hazards. >> this is recreation of the natural landscape? >> yes, but the four points set on a rock. there is a natural rock outcr

code for excavation. that knowledge is on page 8, first of all, that the appellant, my client, was told the foundation would be no deeper than my client's foundation, and specifies the so the civil code has been violated. we urge you to force the building to be demolished and no permits issued for five years. vice president garcia: your time is up, but i am going to ask you a question because i think this is a complicated issue. >> id is. we believe notice has not properly been given. there are safety concerns here, and you should find that the building should be demolished, in fact has been demolished, and that no building permit should be issued for five years in accordance with the building code. short of that, the building now qualifies as a demolition, given that more than 50% of the vertical elements will be removed, and it should start over with mandatory discretionary review. if you are inclined to hold it as it exists, a number of conditions we request should be added that we feel are imperative

stating the death and when the excavating will begin. the fact that my client may have known that there was a swinging gate is a far cry from knowing that excavation is about to start with in the area. those are two very different things. on demolition, the difference between the plans which were approved, which were different from the plans we signed off on last year, different in terms of the amount of demolition, the difference in those plans and what would qualify as demolition is 29 square feet of wall. now, when the roof collapsed, 29 square feet of wall was impacted, making this as a demolition which should be treated as such. if this building is unsound and should be demolished, then the whole thing should be demolished. as to the agreement that was alluded to, actually in your record, yes, we did make an agreement prior property owner. that did not run with of land. it did not go to this property owner. it was to cover a portion of my client's attorney fees and having to devote more attention to this matter. so, again, we would

this particular case, they're making an excavation in the rock.re are some parts of san francisco where the rock is shallow. they go down and grab the rocked, and they put them at foundation on the rock and they can build 60-story tower. perfect example, as you approach the bay bridge, on the left there is the building called 1 rincon hill. that is 63 stories tall with a basement, and it sits on a foundation in

this is the excavation for the stair in question that she just addressed. when we go down into that garage, you can see that these two by 12's, which were delivered for shoring -- this is a vertical face and these are horizontal shoring. there's no permit for this estivation -- estivation. suspend, canceled. page two, expired, complete. we have not had a completed permits since 1989. prior to that, in illegal addition was made to the back of the house. notice that the violation had been served. abatement hearings never quite happened. i'm thinking that the complaints are going into a round file. i made one last year and have never been called to a hearing. here we have a contractor who is working with impunity without permits. if cal-osha cannot stop him and dbi cannot stop him, why do we even need permits? i think it is easier to require him to get one than to figure out a way to make the city safe if no one has to get one. can we spend a little time so we do not have to come back in a month and tell the same story? i have been working with nancy for more

there was one excavation along the way i remember out in the desert nears winslow, arizona. the desert out there is just a still life with a few landmarks on the horizon and this empty hole, the little colorado river desert, the painted desert, and we were working on a 500-room pueblo dating back to about 1400 ad. i just remember the wind just hailing down on us for days and you would be working down with trowels inside of a trench and if you stop for too long, the sand would start to fill up your hole again because it was blowing so much and everybody was turned away from the wind. so it looked like some kind of religious thing was going on here, all these people bowed to the ground for days and days tinkering with some unimaginable smallness in front of them while the wind just pushed harder and harder, sand blasting across you, filling up all the rooms that you just emptied out as if the desert is rolling back over itself. because even where trails are left, trails disappear out there. nothing stays for too long, even the footprints that last for 7 years eventually disapp

in the upcoming fiscal year and continued work on the largest package, the buttress shoring and excavation package. also within that category are $15 million for design spirit that will include completion of construction documents for the transit center. as you just saw, on schedule for bus storage, will be nearly complete for the bus storage facilities as well. moving on to the revenue side, as mentioned in the staff report, we received $850 million in allocations. because the fiscal year budget is just a slice of the overall program budget, this budget includes just the revenues that we anticipate needing for staff -- for the upcoming fiscal year. on the operating side, $4.2 million proposed in the budget. this would cover the operations, expenditures associated with the temper terminal. most of which are funded by an operating grant and also lease revenue from greyhound. if we award an advertising contract, then there would presumably be small revenue to supplement that as well. i am happy to answer any specific questions. >> i have one. are we not expected to sell any land next year? i

i am calling for a hearing related to the epw order issuing the excavation permits on public rights of way. i think we have all gone through the last number of months with ceqa and the at&t boxes. even though we have a better street plan, even though we have an order dealing with this, we put utility boxes and other items on our sidewalk. we do not really have a really great coordination among our city departments. protector late, ordinations that dovetail with these items with our better streets plan. i am requesting that the department of public works, the mta and the planning department come talk about what kind of system we have in place. this is in terms of making sure we are maintaining our streetscaping and public rights of way and whether legislation is appropriate to achieve that goal. >> thank you. supervisor farrell: thank you, madam clark. just one in memoriam today. she passed away on the age of 94. she was born on april 8, 2004. she was married to james flood in 1938 at the mansion. she and mr. flodod owned a ranch where she was an accomplished equestrian. she volunteered

exhibitions which straddled the past couple of years had 900,000 visitors, and researching and excavating we know that 93% of those visitors came from outside the immediate city of san francisco area. and thereby we know making a major economic impact on the city of san francisco. for this fiscal year, 2010/2011 about to wind up we anticipate the visitation will be about 2,200,000 visitors. 1.7 million of whom will have entered our buildings for free, which is a tremendous amount. i do want to say during the past fiscal year the education programs have served 350,000 individuals, including 75,000 school children from grades k- 12, most of which came to the museum for free due to the underwriting of all school tours. in addition, we have established an access committee over the past four years, and thanks to their recommendations, we have set aside a day each month for the physical and mentally disabled to visit the special exhibition, such as the picasso exhibition currently on view so there can be no interference from the public. we find the lack of crowds is a wonderful tool for the phy
