they are commonly referred to at the corner of octavia and hayes street. the currently occupied by the proxy project. there is the museum of craft and design and the soon-to-be opened beer garden there. the project has brought activity to these two blocks which were left vacant due to the demolition of the central bit -- freeway and construction of octavia boulevard. this would extend both leases to a term of five years, and the extension is necessary in the approvals and fabrication of the processes for the proxy project took longer than originally anticipated. the director of real-estate and a representative from proxy development will give you more information on these resolutions. thank you. >> good morning. john updike, acting director of real-estate. very briefly, we are retaining the existing rate structure for the lease, so there's no change to that. this is just a term extension to the parcel k, and i have k and l on the map, the larger parcel is technically a sublease with the redevelopment agency and then passed through to proxy. we have done th

when it first opened, the noise came all the way down octavia into our home. we could not believe the law would permit this to occur. here is a family with a new baby. it is an incredibly loud sports bar. there is no difference between outside a cafe tables. a woman across the street, i am a child and family psychotherapist. i specialized in working with families buying those with autism. many are sensitive to loud noises. this would have a direct affect on the health of my patients. we are asking for your help here. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> my name is sherry. i am of property owner and president directly across the street. regardless of what the technical data analysis shows, i am concerned there will be a continuing problem with open patio doors. recalling on an earlier occasion, after i had given complements of the interior design and was introduced to the original floor manager, when there was an event going on, i asked danny to come across the street with me and listen to what the sound was, and danny said, it is impossible to control the sou

. >> the octavia boulevard is the first urban boulevard to be built in the united states in 50 years,nd is an exceptional piece of work. now that the boulevard is in we find we still have traffic issues, but things are certainly better than they were when the freeway was in place. and the hayes valley area remains more vibrant. people walking along the boulevard. it's absolutely wonderful to go to the hayes green because any day where the weather is halfway decent there are not only people sitting around and doing what have you, but there are children there. >> san francisco always seems to be sfaised with a challenge of providing more housing. as with any other neighborhood, district five has to provide housing as well, while preserving historic buildings, diversity and the neighborhood character. >> what i think about gentrification? i think that it's all connected to opportunities. and i think that the shame it's not really about gentrification. the problem is that many minority people were never allowed to build the wealth and build and have the opportunities to be able to access

this was for octavia court. what we anticipate doing, we were going to provide a display case in the department on the first floor and start putting our rewards that we are getting in the cabinet, displaying them for public view. commissioner hechanova: could you hold it so that it can be well seen on the screen? and similarly the other one? >> the other one is class. -- glas. commissioner hechanova: terrific. -- glass. >> and to remind the commissioners, i will be out on sick leave for approximately two months. pam will be taking care of the financial matters for the department and the appointed a 44 the department. >> is there any public comment on the director's report? 6a through 6g? >> talking about the boiler permits, it is great that they can do this online. however, i had a client who had a problem six years ago. he had to pay penalties, so when the contractor went to get a permit for the boiler permit online, it was flagged because of a complaint. the amount of money that was paid was applied against th

amendment of a lease between the city and proxy development for the property on the northeast corner of octavia boulevard and fell street. item 20, approving the amendment of the sublease of a property with san francisco and proxy development, extending the term from three years to five years. president chiu: these are adopted. >> item 21, the amending the administrative code by adding 3.17 to require separate over time items in the budget for the airport, emergency management, fire, police, public health, public utilities, public works, recreation and park, and the sheriff's office. supervisor campos: i want to thank supervisor farrell, who is the co-author of this piece of legislation. this is common sense and good government legislation that simply says that if the department is to go above the overtime amount that it is budgeted for a fiscal year that it simply need to come back to this board of supervisors and seek approval of that. it mainly means that there will be more transparency in terms of how overtime is spent in the city and county of san francisco. we recognize overtime is approp

supervisor weiner: i know that in market octavia there have not been many impact fees so far, becauserket meltdown and the lack of development. how confident are you the eastern neighborhood impact fees will actually materialize on the schedule they need to materialize? >> i have gotten recent projections from the planning department that showed it would be paid the first two years. i think we have a five-year window before the open space fund would have to be used. even if there is a significant delay in what we expect, we would still be able to meet that schedule. i can ask the planning department to speak on that. supervisor weiner: in terms of the exposure to the open -- the open space fund -- first of all, i am extremely supportive of this project. i think it is terrific and important to the neighborhood. i am not in any way opposed. but there is a very important project in my district, the noe valle town square -- valley town square. there are going to be a lot of demands on the fund. i wonder if there is a way to guarantee that future revenue stream. >> we do not think so. it i

you probably remember the market and octavia plan. one of our main ideas was to increase the legibility of transit. you catch the bus, it lets you off on the street and if it's a one-way street, where do you go to catch the bus and the other direction? it helps the bus make more sense. there have been a number of 1- way to 2-way conversions recently. mcallister, just behind the old federal building. there is a proposal for a two- way haight street. leavenworth and jones -- they also recommended the mcalester project. we are seeing more and more of these one-way to 2-way conversions. they are being implemented one by one. if you have ideas, let the mta or transportation authority know. >> i have a list of streets. >> i would like to thank everyone for their work on this. it has been years. hopefully the fee -- hopefully that will be early next year. i agree with a lot of the thoughts that are shared. i also really appreciate the comprehensive approach to this and involving an groups like the department of public health who worked so ha

. >> i am from 2827 octavia, and i wish to point out union street is not one long commercial strip mall. we have lived in the location for over 30 years and survived. it is a great thrill to live by union street. there are college football games, and it is a great guy to hang at a bar, but when people get tired of the noise, they get to go home, but where can we go? this hasn' 100 yards of busines, and sherman elementary school is a block away. the crab shack and bricks and are across the street from the shuddered metro theater. good no one lives there. ambient noise issue is not the same. the reason people complain about process and government regulations is the government levels the playing field. neighbors are no match for the developer. we have been opposing this since the front of the building was ripped off without a permit over a year ago. recently we were invited to see the brickyard. it is clear to me if the three doors were open and there are 30 or 40 enthusiastic people at the bar, there will be plenty of noise. they say we can call and they will address this issue. i doubt t

project is in its planning phase right now, and it will be implemented from the ferry building two octaviaoulevard in 2015. and the street is -- when the street is repaid. public safety enhancements along market street. in 2012, the midmarket bus station will be open

we have plans that we have completed for the four neighborhoods, the eastern neighborhoods, market octavia, balboa park, visitation valley, and other areas representing almost 7000 units, and we have no plans under way for other areas that will complete that cycle. -- we have new plans under way. sentences could pose a growth will happen on about 15% of the land area of the city. that 15% is actually where we have concentrated our planning efforts over the past decade. i can sit here and promise you all that, having these plans approved means that the land use wars and fights in the planning commission will go away, and we all know that that will happen, of course, in the coming year. this will not and land-use lawyers. this will not in fights. it will not and appeals. but it does give us a level of certainty about where we're headed but at the community level and at the city level, and i think we should be proud of that. i would like to spend a little bit of time talking about the transit center plan, partly because i think it is an incredibly exciting project and partly because we are ab

to moscow with or with a large group of so can valley venture capitalists and part of the skolkovo octavia is really to to invite outsiders to invest in start of activities either here or in fact as we said to translate those ideas into other economies so we would be looking for venture capital from anywhere really to help commercialize the business here the venture capital business in russia there has been some of it but it is not nearly as robust not as strong as it needs to be so we'll have to have outside folks come in bring their expertise bring their and their venture funds into the russian market to help and rest. for tea companies as far as i read in the paper is never really been registered as put this insist on this how the school project is the process of registration continuing of course i mean is that the hope is by the end of the year somewhere between one hundred fifty and two hundred companies registered is probably disadvantaged by the end of the year by as participate. and then a subset of that number will be in fact receiving financial grants from the pound asian to purs

i ask and recently on octavia park and there was a new grill put in and historic sign and i like the restaurant now with the light and the windows but the sign was gone afterwards? >> i am unaware anything in the building code says that you have to stop. maybe the planning code. >> maybe a landmark sign or along those lines but i don't think it's addressed in the planning code to preserve the signs to that extent. >> so the city had a bunch of doggy heads and now have one left. >> it's a landmark. >> it's a landmark dog. >> it's a landmark now. >> on the waterfront we have interesting signs and you can only see from the water really. this is one and pacific far east and the golden bears there and a whole realm. are they being preserved in anyway? >> no, i think we should discuss that with the port authority and maybe fall under their jurisdiction. >> welcome home. i think this is from operation -- what is the one before operation desert storm. >> (inaudible). >> shield. and another ris toric sign and pier 23 and good jazz and out door eating and this wonderful sign. an old sign repre

project is in its planning phase right now, and it will be implemented from the ferry building two octaviaoulevard in 2015. and the street is -- when the street is repaid. public safety enhancements along market street. in 2012, the midmarket bus station will be open on sixth street. we're also going to partner with the community benefit district to expand coverage of the safety ambassadors, in addition to policing the area. in fact, the safety ambassadors, we plan to hire people from the community to be an additional eyes and ears. because as you know, when you talk to these young technology entrepreneurs and their employees, they're not looking at the st. half the time. they're on their side -- they're not looking at the street have the time. they're on their ipad or phones. but they also want to be safe. cultivation of art and culture in the area through recruitment and galleries and theaters, as well as restaurants and nightclubs. they draw visitors to the area. you are seeing that happen already. that is an exciting part of our midmarket. we have seen a positive effect on the successe

in case you're a little hazy on golden gate valley, the golden gate valley library is octavia and green. this project is one block west of our westernboundries. we have supported it from day one. we think it is a good fit for our neighborhood. we think that the fears that have been expressed many times by our neighbors are overwrought, perhaps. and the only thing i would ask is that we establish a citizen's advisory committee to go along with this so we can monitor the project for the first few years of existence. and kind of hand-hold people until everyone accepts taz an addition to our neighborhood. thank you very much. supervisor mar: thank you. thank you, everyone, for coming out. if there's no other speakers, public comment is closed. i understand that the mayor's office of housing, we have the new executive director lee with us in addition to lydia, ellie, who's here as well. is there any comment or responses from the mayor's office of housing, please come forward. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. lydia ely. i'm a project manager at the mayor's office of housing. i wa
