. >> and next up, sue hester. >> sue hester, there have been a lot of meetings of people in the neighborhood about this project, and this is a neighborhood. and what we didn't see a shred of today is any discussion of the other block, if there is to be any change at all, people should be told that. secondarily, because the scale and the fastness of the presentation, i really could not understand what is happening along the entranceway along the embarcadero on the east. and is there only one vehicular entrance in the middle of this site? and so, that tour buses taxis and buses from patrons doing a block of tickets because it is an arena as well as the warrior's. and so the people have been really discussing how traffic circulates around this idea and i could not understand, we never have the exhibit and we just have flash flash flash and do you understand how the driveway works on the pier side of the embarcadero? i don't, and i was really paying attention. and so, if there is one driveway, to get in and out, in the same driveway, and it is going to be a mess there. and secondarily, there is

of the additional office story from 6 to 3 floors but there was one appeal that remained from sue hester that was specifically for the office allocation and the only issue that was raised in the appeal the demonstration impact fees that were deferred through dbi for the whole project the project sponsor agreed to the 3 floors to go ahead and pay all the impact fees up front but not willing to take the other impact fee and pull them out of the deferral the appellant felt they should but in the end of the board of appeals voted 4 to nothing to uphold the permit >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> i just had a question on that last item in regards to permit of appeals. well, i guess even though we had thirty 9 approvals the appellant felt on the appeals to permit the appeals i guess that's the routing of this >> correct there were two separate appeals one was the thirty 9. and the other appeal that was withdrawn. the appeal from sighing hester was the office appeal and both were to the office of appeals >> the other thing that seems it was heard and, of course, the appeal was not accepted but

. >> sue hester. i think you've done more projects on the south pardon me as an attorney not as a builder. over the past thirty years than most people the alley pattern south of market is difficult. in the late 90s when you were approving all the work buildings there were 6 story buildings that came through. and i went to law school at golden gate. we don't have a really good circulation or empower we have wider streets and use of the sky from the people that are in them on mission and howard and folsom and clara. so at certain level oh, the

. >> susan hester. i saw this presentation on tuesday at the puc and i pay attention trying to see if anything on the slides you're showing and certainly not on the website tells us how the entrance and exits of the cars are going to work. it's about been moved we have floor plates and but you should pay attention to the planning issues. the port isn't going to. b cdc may or may not. but there's was no illustration of how the strarns and exit is not just private autos taxis and others tour buses big buses, big trucks, deliveries how do they access this site? they moved it down to the middle and their rendering on line there's r vs so where is the transit entrance. the design has approved i grant you a lot but there are a couple of missing things. one of the major maritime use is the pier doc site at the end of the pier. not to be a big doc site for tour boats but today trips as they come in and how are they going to use that end of the arena. how are trucks and cars and buses going to access the arena o

. >> sue hester and i wish to address the proposal wha, eir are we talking about throughout this and there is an overlapping between the mta and the cta and ininvolvement in the warrior's eir that the water front transit assessment, and that is not clear here. and what eir are you talking about? >> we know that the eir for the warriors is post up and well we don't know when, because they keep designing the project new and the date keeps receding. and but, what we have along the water front, is no outlet, there is embarcadero and there is the bay on one side and there are hills and bay bridge on the other side it is not like you have a lot of choices unless you are a shurpa and you want to go over the bridge. but we don't have transit worth crap in this area. and no one seems to care about it except for the district six supervisor. but if we don't resolve this problem, in conjunction with this study, we are not addressing the problem. >> we have arena that is not basketball, it is a 252 day arena and on the other side there is a hotel and up scale housing, right converging at the same

i have a few questions, but, i think that i do agree with sue hester in that we need to be more transparent and i think that we do need to have some type of hand out or something because it is hard for me to refer to the presentation right now without being able to and if i had had in the event it i would be better prepared for the questions and so i am just going off the cuff with a few questions but i really enjoyed td presentation, it was thorough. it you tell me what the local hire support will be? and if there are any ld goals? >> >> the local advocacy community, and in our defense but also including the myriad of non-profit stake holers and it has us complying with volunteering to comply with the city's local hiring ordinance and commit to 25 percent of the arena construction jobs, and for the san francisco residents to provide the on-ramp and getting trained in the force and be able to build this arena. and quite exciting and we also entered into agreements with the current unions that operate over in oricle and to allow for the right of transfer for those workers currently in the lo

she can't have the hester stink on her. i think obamacare is an unfair name for this thing.t's this thing has to be barack obamacare. this was his genius notion and i hope that he travels through time with it. >> all right. real quick on the nfl. miller and i have a disagreement there. i think that the national football league's culture should conform to civility. >> should they not go to strip clubs? >> no go to strip clubs. >> put cameras in the locker room? >> miller, you know as well as i do. they hire thugs. they know the thugs are bad. pacman on cincinnati. how many times got to be arrested. all right? they hire thugs because the thugs can play. i don't know this. >> how many times does the guy got to be arrested? how many times? >> you are going to the wrong tempo there, baby. that's the national football league. that's a business. if gold medal cared about any of -- go del cared go del -- imagine richie incognito if he eventually gets concussion and has to go into obamacare that's when you have got problems. when you have a c lister who has a medical degree from the
