and the buildings between oak and hickory. this is an overview of the site plan, and i am sure that you're used to this -- you can see the pattern of the three courtyards. the landscape architect has organized these as gardens with a terrace, with these gardens that captures storm water. and then, those kind of connect, and then -- the central core, which allows for that view and they lack access, and this is an accessible -- this is connecting from oak to hickory street. that is an important part of the project. this is treated as an extension of the overall project. the alleyways in the neighborhood are some of the most charming places, pleasant and active with the smaller- scale buildings. we have designed this as a living valley, with special paving and places to sit, a place for people to be, cyclists, with less emphasis on vehicles. the pattern for vehicles is 1- way travel, and to further reduce the traffic -- the access into the garage is on the lower end. and the exit is that the lower end. they all circulate in -- an

how we measure height and how we look at hickory alley, whatever. fees are being used for infrastructure improvements, the extension and the completion is in the spirit of using the money. it would -- it is perfectly justified. it is not just a self-serving thing. together with the idea of potentially having an agreement for hickory, at an innovative way which reinforces our market octavia it is developing. i think market octavia is one of the most exciting neighborhoods that is happening and i am really happy that we are -- we continue to support innovative design, good design, and neighborhood associations will support the project. i really do not have anything negative to say. the only thing i would have liked staff to do, look for a -- the reason i'm asking, we want to encourage the architectural design and its detaining express is an attitude towards windows. if you use a very thin board, which might be used on this project, you might get a flatness around the window and the kind of detail and that does not wear very well. we should be encourag

i love what it is doing with hickory street. it seems that someone has determined that it is their car storage. i wonder why they never did ticketed. they have been there for a long time. hickory, where it dead and there, it is not a usable space. -- dead end there, it is not be usable space. this is an area that is very easy to park in. i do not own a car, but my fiancee it does. when they were doing work on our street, there were plenty of other places to park. i do not understand what the concerns are. it is not a difficult place, even with all of the people that come to the neighborhood. a number of people really do take public transit and walk and bicycle and those communities. it seems to work in that neighborhood. i also think that it is important that we look at this project in the way that it is contemplated. as a good model of how we can develop a pretty large site. that is something we often struggle with at the commission. i am very disappointed with the developer that they did not do the necessary outreach with the

hickory, where none currently exists. we recognize that the parking is an important consideration, in this neighborhood. we support how the project sponsors have capped the parking ratio. and, also, there is the strong commitment to bicycling and car sharing. and with regard to the housing affordability, among many other benefits, this project makes the payment of $9.60 million to the mayor's office of housing, to help an agency in desperate need of funding, with the subsidies and the affordability of the federal and state and local level. which are collapsing. this is an excellent project and a great addition to the neighborhood, and we request that you approve this without delay. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i have lived in the area -- such as commissioner miguel for over 35 years. i appreciate the concept of growth in the city, and change will happen. there are -- differences that -- through the meetings with the planning commission, and the neighborhood, the hayes valley neighbo
