harrison street was repaved using prop k money from last summer. as soon as i found out about it, great, what improvements will be made? none were made. dtw says, they did not say to make any plans. it was a 600-foot building. let's do what we can. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker, please. >> but afternoon. i would like to thank supervisor camp for calling this hearing. my name is katie in buying the president of the south beach rubicon bay neighborhood association. i am a former board member and a p formersac -- a form3er psac member. i found my neighbor lying dead in my intersection of main and harrison. since that time seven years ago, many of us have been trying to get improvements it is used as an on ramp to the bay bridge. people speak up. if they are not beating, they are stuck in a traffic jam in the crosswalks, making it even worse for pedestrians to cross. that is an intersection i personally want to point out to you. in addition, there are two whether intersections -- two other intersections. first and folsom and

harrison street -- a lot of residents live along harrison street. there are about 300 children that live between fulsome and the bay bridge. with the use of second street. and in increasing population of elderly folks. people moved into my building in 1991 and are retiring. any help that you can give for pedestrian safety. if there are any funds you are saving from bids that are lower than what was budgeted, if you could help us with painting in the stripes on the crosswalk, that will be great. harrison street is a little bit out of your purview, but the drivers -- once they get through some of the delays in construction traffic, they are shoving the gas pedal down, on their way up to the bay bridge. anything we can do to make the streets in my neighborhood, residential neighborhood, look a little less like freeways and more like residential streets would be appreciated. again, great job on the demolition, and thank you. >> that includes members of the public that wanted to address you on that item. director ford: ok. let's close public, and moving

those would include street improvements, harrison street. and we can bring the total improvements between our funds that are the fee funds plus the bond funds. i think north of almost $8 million in public infrastructure, improvements that would happen at once with the construction of the building. and our support is not lost. it is very much a function of our willingness to explore these new dynamics and vehicles for creating public infrastructure in connection with the building. we have a developer who is doing more by -- and trying to bring to the market that will actually be sold to san francisco homeowners, providing the jobs we all want to see getting back into the market, you thoroughly reviewed this design in the past. it is consistent with your unanimous prior actions. we are giving you opportunities to do neighborhood improvements. i think more than anything else it is an important signal by this development moving ahead at this time. it is a very high end big building that is going to come out of the ground and provide confidence a

harrison. commander, if you can talk to mr. harrison again about that situation. thank you. next public speaker. >> my two issues i want to bring your attention to -- >> number one the patrol specials. they are not only a violation of the 14th amendment but there is no equal protection when someone can hire them as hire cops but have special privileges within the police department. they are assigned to stations. they are not legal. i want to know when you will put them out of business. i know out in the castro they ignored your request to follow the law. that organization exist and they victimize people like me. the businesses do not want the law enforced. that brings me to my second related point. the community policing done over in the castro, the gay relations and the other corrupt people in the mission stations, i am told the community policing is being discontinued in this city. if it is not so discontinue it because it creates a corrupt environment where people think they are beyond the law and can do anything they want. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good e

the building actually has two faces, the harrison side is the more urban side. that is where all of the vehicles come in and the loading comes in. when you get to lansing it is a finer detailed scale. like many of the better designed buildings, it is a building that has a lot of different aspects to it or prospects to it as you look at it from different positions. one of the elements that i want to draw your attention to is the first exception, which is the exposure exception. i don't know if you are familiar with the -- there is a little union gas station on the corner adjaceant to the project and they hike on that site to 65 feet. the exposure requirement actually deals with distance -- deals with exposure from the lot line. and the reason that this exception has been approved every time previously is that with a 65-foot height limit you won't even reach the lower podium of the building. all of the units above will have exposure even though it is situated where it is. this building has gone through two different designs. it was extended again in 2009 and 2010.
