supervisor mar: thank you. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. chairman mar. i was born in san francisco, and we had three generations and my family. i want to talk about some of the transportation issues that have come up surrounding this. as may or may not be aware, if you have read the corridor study that i believe was done by the board back in 2007 or was started in 2007, it talks about background traffic congestion that has been building in respect of of any of the products going on out there, and it says that left to its own devices, absent any development, there is going to be a snippet increase in congestion. right now, there is the fourth deadliest intersection in san francisco. 19th and holoway. supervisor mar: that was 19th and holloway? >> yes. i have gone to many of the meetings, working with peter, looking at the solutions, where we are going to go with this, and there seems to be a great improvement. i have a personal interest in this. years ago, an issue that will be addressed if this plan goes forward, i had a little brother who was killed by

supervisor mar: mr. brooks? >> i am representing the green party and the grass-roots organization "our city." the developers, in this kind of hard to tell the difference especially will have lobbyists having staff on the back at the beginning of meetings in a whispering in their ear. it is kind of appalling to see that kind of exchange. getting back to the realities, and none of the units have a been condemned. they are not and immobile. the idea of just like in the film world, we are seeing this sales pitch. we need to demolish this and make it better. that gets us to the greenhouse gases. you sought in the graph that we showed you themselves. it will increase in the 25 or 30 years of the project. we have icecaps melting. we can no longer intervene do projects like that. the easiest way to lower the greenhouse gases is to get rid of the demolition and planned this thing out. and actually have a lot more planned where we know we're going to have bus rapid transit. it gets me to what is being claimed about transi

supervisor mar: thank you.at would like to speak? public comment is closed. i was wondering if jason wanted to talk about capital planning, or even more of a mandate. just the thinking in the mayor's office. >> directly to supervisor wiener's questions, thank you for digging in to these issues. the question is how to pay for any of these mandates. there are very phenomenal recommendations here. some of these are on the easier side. last year, we thought we had some success in developing a program to pay for some of these. supervisor mar probably knows better than anyone in the city. it ended at our ability to pay for these buildings. he who worked extensively to try to understand new ways to provide a subsidy to pay for some of the more expensive work that needs to be done. we were not successful in coming up with an alternative. you know to advocate of the federal level, ultimately, we will be successful on that. in the interim, it will fall upon the mayor and the board to create a new policy in a new instrume

chairperson mar: i appreciate the transparency. you have been really informative. >> specifically, we were not able to get into the urban design of the open spaces. we want a briefing on some of the sustainability features. we want to really focus on transportation. i think the focus will be on the transportation. supervisor elsbernd: i hope this will be similar to the presentations on the planning department website, which has all the documents so that if anyone from the public wants to see these they are on the web. >> that is correct. thank you for the reminder, supervisor. we will make sure this presentation will be posted as well. i would like to remind all the members of the board that every document, every draft, and all ceqa documents -- there is one website portal on the planning website where you can access all the information. originally, our plan was the project sponsor would be here to talk about conditions at the site, a little bit about the history of the site, which i think it's valuable to understand the context of

chairperson mar: thank you. i will also call eddie ahn and walter paulson. >> my name is francisco dacosta. i have been involved in treasure island since 1991, when my former boss became part of the cdo event from treasure island. i have empirical data regarding all the buildings and the land over there. i know there is some fanatical support here about people saying this and the other. but the bottom line is we saw this in new orleans. we saw this in japan. we see this wherever there are similar issues about compression. we also saw this in the marina. what we need to do, first of all, is not to rush into this like we did during the holidays. we had a meeting that concluded at about 11:20 in the night. the other thing i have requested is to provide nonprofits -- and i have participated in this deliberation for the longest time -- so that our university students can evaluate every element of this project. the navy should do the cleanup. i would suggest we build the necessary fortifications to save the lives of t

supervisor mar: thank you. if there is no comments from supervisor cohen, i will say i am in support, and the beautiful new joe the machu part, as ms. christenson said, -- joe dimaggio park. i appreciate all of the different community-based groups in sherman elementary, and all of their efforts to plan very carefully in this beautiful park and library. i also know that the lighting, i appreciate the architectural perspective when how this has been designed, and a note as this has been width to demolish an old building, as supervisor wiener said, there was significant discussion, so i disagree with that point of view. this hearing is not about that. we heard about that last year. but the design, lighting, the specific space for the teenage room, this is even a much better space for the young. but i will say for the young and old that are here today, so i am really pleased with the community efforts and by the leadership of david chu on this, as well. supervisor chu? supervisor chiu: i really want to thank those

clerk somera: supervisor mar? supervisor mar: commercial space, as well? >> at the side right now, roughly 300,000 square feet of office that have actually been built. i think one point, it was a title to up to 1.7 million square feet. the two other projects, i think in its entirety, and that we get this.-- i may be slightly wrong, entitled to about 700 units, of which 300 are constructed.
