all of you and director reiskin and manager funge, you're all subject to that. i don't know why it seems to have been ignored in the interest of the central subway. i draw your attention to the e-i-r which was whipped out in a very short period of time. it says the construction will take 15 months for this project if it goes forward, the pagoda palace. there has been no consideration whatever of the historic buildings surrounding it and it's only going to put two restaurants out of business instead of probably a whole lot more in the previous plan. north beach residents and businesses got excited about the new plan because they realized that the pagoda palace, which is considered an eyesore, i'm kind of used to it by now, is going to be demolished. and i think the owner of that property and his lawyers and his expediter are over the moon about getting all this monday and i getting the building demolished. i will just ask you why you haven't considered this destructive e-i-r. also, if you sign this lease, the property owner is getting a lot of his work done by th

chester fung planning with the authority. this is the study that was referenced in the previous item you just heard. the geneva visibility study. the boundaries are to balboa park station. for the eastern water front and southern part of the city. while the far eastern around western end had been previously studied there are some middle portions that had not been studied and settled so there is a neat effort to look at the remaining gaps and making sure the segments are compatible with each other and create a comprehensive design for the full corridor. the advising committee to help shape the project, additional outreach committees for that and development interim and permanent solution where we are mentioning previously as well as transit system benefits finally a plan related to the work for the bicounty study. the cost is $550,000. the partners in san mateo county are expected to contribute $250,000. that's -- is there any -- that's the end of our presentation. >> thank you. colleagues, if there are no questions let's open

fung, i'd like to briefly state that i'm an attorney. i've been practicing c-e-q-a, public interest side c-e-q-a excuses for over 30 years. i work in many jurisdictions around the state. i've appeared before this board as well as many times before the planning commission and board of supervisors. and though i'm not acquainted with you, i certainly am acquainted with staff and other planning staff here as well. we are asking that this matter be postponed, a hearing until after the board of supervisors hears the pending appeal of the c-e-q-a categorical exemption. and i really regret that there's been a misunderstanding about the process here. in the past, times when i've appeared before this board and i've discussed this in the past with the city attorney's office, elaine warren, there's always been a stay of board of appeals proceedings if there is a pending c-e-q-a appeal. the c-e-q-a appeal in this case has been stated to be timely. we have a hearing date of april 6. although i've heard from the counsel for the applicant that they woul

. >> and i would appreciate commissioner fung pointing out the issue and the fact that the foundation work is only on part of the building dbi is going to be paying attention to that and the impact on the rest of the building. based on what you stated earlier, i was under the impression it was going to actually support the second floor. >> you know i could have alan actually come up and speak. i don't have a background. he does, he can speak towards exactly what they are doing. >> i mean earlier your comments and argument was to make sure that everyone felt safe. >> i think that anything other than and please mind i am not and i don't have engineering background, from my understanding with speaking with alan and the contractors that anything is better than a brick foundation, obviously the ideal situation is to do the foundation so it is connected in this case it is not feasible. you kind of look's options that are available and the options are that we have a vacant space whoever is going to be in that space, idealy we want to do something. >> there are three other retail spaces that

fung speaks we are going to hear from mr. david campos. thank you mr. fung. >> good morning, this is the transportation study final report. there is also an enclosure in your packet which is a final report and that final report has brief executive summary, feel free to use that to follow along as i go through my presentation. today i'm going to talk about the background on the study and i will touch on the project. these study projects are in the report but in the interest of time, i will talk about the interested step. this is reference to the southeast corner and border area of san mateo county where it meets san francisco. in this area there are multiple large development projects being proposed which collectively add of to an amount of new growth and a collection of formal industrial sites to a very vibrant new neighborhood. because the area is a lot vacate and formally industrial area the transportation system is lacking. the two questions that the county study has focused on are one, what are those major transportation investments that are needed

. >> i concur with the commissioner fung. and as your neighbor, i live in the district and i actually drove by this building twice today. and as a small business owner from that district for over 20 years, i also was understanding as a landlord you are a small business owner yourself. but, there is some very specific things that have been outlined here that unfortunately need to be followed and i believe that some clarity would be great, so a continuance would be a great service. on a side note, you have a great location. and i believe that this becomes a problem, i am sure that another business would love to be on the corner of 26th and terevelle. >> i know that is sounds to me more, or most everyone perhaps, other than myself, is interested in a continuance and i am quite skeptical given the... i think that what is my concern is a continued moving target on what the name of this entity is and at the same time, i do think that there is some sufficient lack of clarity issues being raised in this manner or make me uncomfortabl
