i don't know if you know that our park, the cemetery most of the cemetery in san francisco became our park. laurel hill was an inspiration for golden gate park and we're going to destroy that. it took that long to enjoy. it's unbelievable. keep our trees on both sides. keep laurel hill. no commercial retail. no towers except neighborhood height limits. building period for four years no flex retail it will harm our businesses that are struggling. thank you. >> next speaker. hi, i agree with everything that my previous speaker just said. i just wanted to add a little bit about the government leaders and pioneers and i do think that that would be almost like desecrating their graves to move the trees as well as having their burial sites. i also understand that the building itself is in the california historic at register and is eligibility for national register and it would be because the current owners of the property opposed it because they wanted to do this development and it's not going to get in there. this is a sad thing and historians should really look at this before they tear it

cemetery, for san francisco pioneers u.s. senators and civil war heroes, it's a tree-filled park for san francisco residents. since i noticed the historic cemetery plaque missing from the red brick wall a few years ago, i wondered why would anyone want to erase this history. it made me sad. well, as a result, it seems that the job of marking and memorializing this important san francisco landmark has been left to its survivors, the trees. some of these large, old growth trees are monument to this lost history. in addition to the history, many studies have reported that the loss of large, old trees leads to an over all loss of urban biodiversity. they are critical ecological structures because relative to their size, they are disproportionate providers of resources crucial to wildlife. it's times of necessary development and help preserve the landmarks that define your cities' rich history. concern neighborhoods are not anti development. but surely these developers have the ability to build with respect to san francisco's history. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is bill cutler. my wife and i have lived i
