purchased by the city in march 2007 following a joint approval by the planning and recreation and park commissions. and subsequently by the board of supervisors in 2007. as i mentioned before, this is a growing, densifying area with a lot of new housing and few parks. the park is currently under construction and is expected to be opening in later in 2019. as such, there is not -- we're not able to analyze activity there is and how people use it because it is a construction site. the park design includes a level site with three outdoor rooms that contain bench seating areas and is framed by a variety of plants and trees that have been selected to be adaptive to this much more shaded location. we are piloting a dog relief facility as well on the sidewalk in front of the park. this picture shows a bird's eye view just looking over the park from another vantage point giving you a better sense of how it would be. new shadow from the hawthorne project would occur in the late afternoon hours, entering the park between 3:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m., depending on the day. the shadow would fall roughly on the cen

queen's house is the oldest building in greenwich park commissioned by queen anne of denmark the wife of james the 1st that was designed by inigo joe. jones is architecture brought the ring nacelles to. the villas of andrea's served as a model when indigo jones created this building to the delight of his quick. mathematics in structural picture of defying harmony. in 6889 queen mary the 2nd commissions a christopher wren to grow up fans for royal naval hospital. the architects 1st draft met with disapproval because the thames would no longer be visible from queens and so men had to go back to the drawing board the result was a building comprised of 2 weeks with the space center providing a clear view of the little queen's house. the motto of the royal naval hospital could have been aura at loughborough pray and one. loyal chapel was billed as a place where the veterans of the crown's navy might find salvation. the interior of the carriage was designed by james athenæum stuart and william newton. following 851779 they renovated the originally baroque church in classical stuff. made by

park. at the november 2017 commission hearing, you approved the mclaren park vision, however, due to public up -- application to the trail plan component, you asked the natural resources division and the capital team with them to reengage with the public, amend the trail plan, and return to the commission for approval of the trail system design. on behalf of the capital team, melinda agreed they would have more community input and come back to the conductors come back to the commission for concept design approval. at last week's collaborative meeting, lisa announced her intention to bring volunteer people into the park to begin implementing portions of the vision trail plan. she insisted that the plans have been, and i quote, adopted, and later on in the conversation, approved, so it was perfectly legitimate to move the plan forward. needless to say, the people who oppose the trail plan in 2017 are very displeased with this turn of events. lisa wayne seems to ignore the november 2017 commitment and move forward with her trail plan without your approval. will you allow this? the mclaren park

when this issue was raised again in 2019, the park's own process, the -- sorry, the park's commission process was disregarded. you look at the memo you received from mr. bishop, and it goes point by point what the process is to bring these to you and -- sorry, supervisor mandelman does not feel like he was consulted. two, community meeting, no. why? because they were -- they, home owners, felt, quote, uncomfortable and unsafe. well, have a policeman in the room and have an impartial moderator and that takes care of that. but what's even worse is what the rpd agreed to do instead of that meeting, and the answer is it agreed to an online survey conducted by the home owners. that's right in mr. bishop's statement. now, i have a whole list of other things that proceeded from that, including why that survey's a piece of junk, and i could go on. notice, however way you look at it, feels like there's a thumb on the scale and the optics are already are uncomfortable. >> next speaker, please. next speaker, please. overhead, please. go ahead. >> hi. my name's dave olson. i've lived in san franc

trans bay authority board, and executive director of the joint powers authority to serve as the parks commission in the general manager as a relates to the trans the rooftop part. the other model that is out there was that the court has adopted its own ports code which addresses parks that are important property. it draws heavily from the same subject areas as parks code. it is somewhat more limited and scope and pacific to the properties of the port of sentences. after reviewing those two models over the last month and discussion with the city attorney's office. we are leaning towards the development of treasure island code as the port has done, which is tailored to the pacific open space program and issues of treasure island. we plan to bring further up the to the september citizens advisory board and title board meetings with an outline of the proposed code section as well as identifying matters that may fall underneath the authority of another agent the or other codes you'd also know, regulation that might need to be adopted by the title board to implement the code. we will bring that discus

the movers and shakers of the entire country as they carried out the imperatives set out by the park commission. hat thering the period t garden was underway, several important things were happening in washington as well. the lincoln memorial by henry bacon was begun in 1912, although it was a decade before it was dedicated. and then the freer gallery of art, by charles platt, was 1916 thein 1913, and fine arts commission approved it but platt was not sitting on the commission at the same time. verys approved, but a close coterie of professionals. now, i want to bring up flat again because -- platt again because he was also the architect of woodrow wilson's summer white house in new hampshire. he was also another one of these people involved in a number of other important planning commissions at the time. he was involved with roland park, which is a garden suburb in baltimore laid out by homestead junior. a kind of marginal -- model for garden suburb design at the time. i am showing you two views of the gardens he designed in 1903 in baltimore. i'd mention this because just around the block fro

no one has ever said the rec and park commission makes it harder for our city to open new parks. and i don't think anyone has said because we have an airport commission, that planes won't take off. commissions are a critical, integral part of our city's government, because they are there to ensure that the job gets done, not that it gets delayed. they're made up of people who we have appointed for that very purpose. in this case, people who have direct experience with homelessness or are providers. currently if a decision, policy or response is delayed or buried in the department, there is no public venue to hold the department to timelines and ask tough questions. with all due respect, i don't know anyone who believes by leaving decision-making solely to bureaucrats, that things are going to move faster. that's not the experience that most of us have with government. the reason why we have commissions is so that we can share our plans with the public and allow them to give input and hold us accountable for those plans, including results and timelines. when we don't get it right,

on november 13, 2016, the commission approved an agreement between the department and the parks alliance to accept up to $15 million for let's play s.f. and recommended that the board of supervisors approved the grant, and the board of supervisors gave that approval on february 1. also, on december 15, the commission approved an m.o.u. that defined the general working relationship between the department and the parks alliance, and that agreement called for the alliance to partner on each park that would receive funding under the agreement. both projects are tier two projects, which means that they will be largely privately funded. the agreements are nearly identical and map out roles and responsibilities between the partners and identify city terms for design services commissioned on public land. completely coincidentally, the estimated budgets for both sites is $3,050,000. and i did also want to note that the landscape architects were selected by the parks alliance with support from the department after a thorough r.f.p. process, and the two landscape architects are m.i.g., who designed

department commissions have been part of the fabric of san francisco city government. fire, recreation and park library, police, airport, d.b.i. , i could go on and on. it has only served to expand the department's ability to enact and speed up thoughtful, effective policies and streamlined streamline and centralize public dialogue. the standard role of the commission is defined in the charter. they do more than advice. they have the formal authority to approve or disapprove policies and budgets, hold public meetings and hearings, reviewing and approving policies for the department, guiding overall strategies and making recommendations to the mayor or the board of supervisors. they are a function of good government and protect the public's interest in open government, transparency, and good policy. the department of homelessness in supportive housing lacks formal -- a formal streamlined approach to oversight and governance. the department had six different advisory committees, five currently in operation, that have advisory functions relating to particular narrow pieces of the overall system. t

parking. when i think about what we, as a commission, and what some of the cities objectives are. we are looking at every parcel looking to densify, and making sure that everybody, at every income level, every family shape and size has places to live. this commission has chosen, with the ones who started the motion to remove parking requirements recognizing that times are changing. not everybody has a car. they actually have friends who have kids, in the richmond, who do not have cars. so, i would just say that i recognize parking is potentially going to be an issue with the addition of some new neighbors, but the addition of some new neighbors, and to our neighborhood, and places for families to live can be -- to me far outweighs that issue. i am in support of the project. >> ditto from commissioner johnson's comments. every thursday we are up here trying to put more units on the ground, and we are trying to decrease parking. i mean, you have transit vehicles, buses, scooters, skateboards, electric skateboards, you have every mode of transportation available jamming around the st
