back on the excavation site, an army of volu nteers on the excavation site, an army of volunteers fromigging, sweeping and carrying mountains of soil. i nursing objects from our distant pastis nursing objects from our distant past is hugely rewarding, also i am told. so let's give it a go and miriam is on hand to show me the ropes. so this is the spot to sift. yes. i will hand you these gloves and then you will be on this side, we will be on this side and this is oui’ we will be on this side and this is our pile. grabbed the scooper and dig infora our pile. grabbed the scooper and dig in for a pile of dirt. it is a lucky dip. exactly. hopefully we will find some treasure. that is pretty good. put it down, pick it up and then we will go back and forth in this kind of a motion and i think we're ready. let's set it down and then use your hands to spread everything around and look for ceramic pieces. so something like this... exactly! exactly! perfect. and you can see a bit of the declaration. yes. may be a glaze. we would have to to see in more detail. wow. i found an artefact! this site

this is an older excavation all all of this is old. with us and one of those from around $1730.00. in the $1730.00 s. discoveries were made that would change what we knew and thought about the world forever. as a few of us i know the us this is where one of the 1st specimens of proto resource or 1st lizard was found. with that discovering it was made here in $733.00 was particularly valuable and this is to suggest this was named after that he's been told it's now in the natural history museum who was there a movie and this is and this and shaft out from the front. since you are a saurus was the 1st fossilized primitive reptiles that was ever described with these let's have that time most people knew nothing about fossils so it was not yet generally understood or accepted that these were the remains of former living creatures the for and the back then people still thought that these shapes have grown inside the rocks by chance stevie's a few good ones at cern to fairly soon try to give oxen. ezekiel's into this stuff so here we see a recently opened rock which shows us the history o

this would get excavated. you are seeing a lot of excavation going down. not a lot would have loans, yet. but you are seeing the crank handle. one thing that is completely clean the they realize is yet -- yes, you can sit on the bench but if you are getting these crank handles going, you have to be standing the whole time. you have to stand up. the first he may think is these will be litter -- little guys. what else would they be? taking us out, you are seeing a crank handle. right here. you're seeing another one right here. all of these yellow tags are indicating bones. all of the artifacts will get mapped in. all of the bones, i never had the privilege of working with the crew that do this, they take the system and they would take landmarks on that bone and i would tell them bone by bone by bone, how that bone is oriented to what it is addressed -- resting on, lateral service, tell that -- tell them how that is directed and the layout inside because you are interested in what the behavior of these men is. are they all rushing for the exits? all -- are th

the project is only excavating four feet below the ground surface. though the project may encounter ground water during construction for soil improvements it's unlikely the finished grade will extend into ground water the appellant claims geotechnical analysis does not provide ground water debt and the report considered the ground water level data in estimated historic ground water high elevation. the methodology considered variable rainfall conditions to recommend the appropriate ground water design level foundation system and measures to address any identified hazards. the cpe initial study con it and you the review of historic flooding issues in the area. the project is not located within but located near the sfpucs map 100 year flood zone. other than this information, there's no other information to indicate that flooding or sewer capacity is a concern here. the department has coordinated with the sfpuc that confirmed the stew we are system -- sewer system meets the sewer system level of service. we know the project is subject to the storm water

the shallow excavation claim is also unfounded at this time. i ask we all be prudent and conduct further investigation before we proceed and cause unintended damage to historic buildings and to the lives of neighbors as well. thank you. >> in my undergrad i studied with a focus on sustainability develop and have a master's degree in community organizing and development and worked for a variety of community-based organization. with my education and experience after reviewing the effects of the new luxury development of 344 14th street and the impact on the neighborhood and community and ecologically. there's bain total of 44 recorded evicts within 300 feet of the project. 16 housing units on woodward street, seven on stevenson street with 22 tenants, one housing unit on mission with a multi-unit building with an owner move-in, lmi eviction. lmi building is one door from the mission street project and up for sale with the now vacant omi unit. we're in an affordable housing and poverty rate crisis and this project should include more affordable un

. >> commissioner honda: so joe, is there no excavation here? >> i don't know, to be honest. i didn't see the drawings, and -- >> commissioner honda: and i'm satisfied that because they've gone through the process here that the building department will follow through because we realize how important it is, especially when you're doing retaining walls, excavation, how important it is to make sure -- >> yeah. it's a vertical addition, so there's definitely structural work to be done, whether they're being made to do a new foundation, i don't know that just yet. i can review the plans and get you a rebuttal on that. >> commissioner honda: you get a second swing on that, and you have 9:42. >> clerk: thank you. is there any public comment on this item? >> commissioner honda: come on up. good evening and welcome. >> thank you. i'm glad you're all able to retain your sense of human. my name is amy kyle. i filed a card. i live in between mr. greeman in between the two houses he constructed, so i know a lot -- about impacts, not construction. and i'm going to speak to the flood issue

as a conservative number, we're saying we're excavating four feet but really the mat slab is only two feet six. four feet is adding an additional feet for conservative ceqa purposes. we will not touch the water tables. the drought showed it's built 12 to 21 feet bowl grade and based on the input, the highest level is expected to reach now is eight feet below grade service. we are studying it at four feet and we only have a two-foot slab foundatiofoundation. no deep water is conducted on this site. our geo tech y'all consultant engineer is here in case you have questions this morning. thank you. this afternoon. with respect to the neighboring historic buildings on woodward street, the c.p.e. did conclude the project did not have the ability to negatively impact these buildings, however, the project sponsor is taking on industry standard construction monitoring of the existing buildings and this is to protect both those buildings and the project sponsor, right. we want to understand does the project in fact have any impact on those buildings and both parties want to know that so that's
