>> commissioner fung: all right. the two things that wasn't brought forth in your presentation, one was the utility infrastructure. you know, with this increase in density there, you know, what's happening with the utility infrastructure? there's an increase in demand. >> so each project to look at that as impact to their project, and it would be looked at in the area as part of the e.i.r. >> vice president koppel: yeah. it's looked at in terms of the whole plan area. >> commissioner fung: right. but a project only looks to connect at their property line. if you find, then, that this greater density is going to generate much greater utilities and entire streets being ripped up takes a long time. affects traffic and everything else, is there a conversation on that? >> commissioner, we work closely with the sfpu kr as it relates to water and sewer. as you know, vanness is being torn up. >> commissioner fung: it's taking forever. >> it is. and those are being informed by long-range projections out through 2040 and beyon

commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: couple of comments, since i went there at the original hearings. i reviewed what was discussed, and if you abstract out the issues, especially those that are still brought up today that are remaining, it really reflects on what they want is a change in the zoning there. the question of whether it's designed for the height these days, with the density bonus, these tall buildings are going to be the norm. with new york exceeding the existing height building based on that bonus, you're going to get tall buildings. it reminds me of when i lived in new york, and you know, it was six-story walk-ups everywhere, especially in the poorer areas. but the questions that are still coming up today as an example, some technical questions whether it's the underwater streams -- and this is not the only area that had that. i mean, geary has that, also, so it's a question for building, and in terms of the structural designs to accommodate that in the water treatment design. but the

we'll have more of that interview from spencer fung. he says he cease it underway regardless of whether a trade deal is reached. >> the world has experienced a lot of changes, sometimes on a weekly basis. as a result that disrupts the trade flow. global supply chains, especially for the u.s.-based customers. now u.s.-china trading corridor is disrupted by whether there is a deal or tariffs or not. as a result, a lot of customers, u.s.-based customers are trying to diversify outside of china, not leaving china but diverse fight outside of china to put less eggs in one basket and to spread out that risk. this actually has become a big opportunities for us. because when you have to diversify oufert china, you go, let's say into different countries and we have the biggest network in world, actually in more than 50 countries where we have deep knowledge and history with local ventors and governments where we can help our commerce move very quickly. it is actually a big opportunity for us now that world is changing more and more. >> why is th

. >> vice president koppel: commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: i'm supportive of the unit as constituted. i think this area can support larger structures, the three units. the only suggestion is i probably am not going to suggest anything that deals with the separation between the adjacent neighbor and this building on a on windows that are parallel to the property line. however, a small suggestion would be that a six-foot-high solid screen on that side of the deck so there is no visibility between the deck and his kitchen and bathroom. >> commissioner hillis: second. >> vice president koppel: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: can you make the screen translucent? >> yeah. i've been doing a ton of these, and we get the same comments. we call that opaque screen. you tell me, 6 or 7 feet high. >> commissioner fung: accept it as amended. i didn't know i made the motion. >> vice president koppel: we'll accept that. >> clerk: all right, commissioners, there is somewhat of a motion that's been amended to include a 6-

. >> commissioner fung?> i am looking at the proposed legislation with respect to the intent of the a.d.u. process. if you are looking at the per numbers, the amount of applications is notable. the amount of applications implemented is marginal. this proposed legislation to be used is contrary to the intent, and therefore i am supportive of the department's position to not support certain elements of the legislation as noted in the report. >> yes? >> i also just want to elaborate a little further on the required 30 day notice for no waiver a.d.u.s. this was actually included as part of the previous ordinance and it will be effective july 28 th, and this has been reviewed by your staff and city attorney's office, and we have confirmed that this notice can be conducted ministerially, so under the state law, the no waiver a.d.u.s need to be reviewed ministerially, so that is why there is no opportunity for the discretionary review, but rather, the notice itself of the project. >> thank you. commissioner moore?

fung we worked in close coordination with the port of san francisco and the agencies. one of the goals of the port would be to raise the bar on sustainability issues. this site surpasses what is done on most sites in the city. with the sea level rise we are raising the site for five feet around the site. we are also treating blackwater, we are doing district energy. we are pushing the envelope on all of the sustainability measures for the project and we are working in good coordination with the city. >> when you use the term all, other sustainability, what do you mean by that? >> the transportation mitigation program and aspects to sustainability. this is classic transit development it is near caltrain with muni right at the development site, access to ferry service down the line. it is a place where you could work and live in the same location or live and work with easy transit ride downtown or back to the peninsula. it is the site where housing and mixed use development should be located. we are also dealing with other energy systems with district incomenergy on site

tech reporter brian fung joins me now. brian, up to $700 million.ere does that payout go, and will victims of the data breach see any of it? >> well, equifax isn't paying the $700 million up front. the first thing it's going to do is pay $300 million into a fund that will go towards refunding consumers for things like credit freezes or credit monitoring or identity theft monitoring. services that consumers paid out of pocket for. equifax could add another $125 million to that fund if it runs low. but, you know, right now it's just paying that $300 million up front. it's also paying a total of $275 million to law enforcement at the state level and local level. it's also paying that fine -- part of that money to the consumer financial protection bureau. in addition, it's also agreed to step up its review of security practices and will be subject to audits and assessments by outside, you know, regulators and evaluators. and then finally, equifax said, you know, it will agree to give all americans, whether or not they've been affected by the data breach
