is on the bulk and height of the building, primarily on the issue in the e-i-r on the shadows on rincon park. as a memorandum we are of district 6, we have a very lack of green space in that neighborhood, particularly in district 6. i utilize that park, as do thousands of people and the green space on a sunny day and as evident in a e-i-r dramatic shadows will take away a lot of that sunny space that not only myself and other residents enjoy, but visitors alike. so, i urge you to consider voting no as proposed for 75 howard. thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >>> hello, my name is david sincotta of jefferson [speaker not understood] and mitchell and i'm here on behalf of the property owners in the neighborhood. i do want to say that we'll be submitting additional written materials, but i wanted to address a couple of significant issues today where we believe this document is considered grossly inadequate and inaccurate in some areas. the first area that i would like to talk about is in regard to the land use impacts. the e-i-r, draft e-i-r, very adequately describes that t

is considered, more active use of that triangular lot if it does become open space when we have rincon park across the street and other waterfront open spaces that tend to be pretty passive. >> commissioner sugaya. >> thank you, yes. perhaps it's only my ignorance or something, but when we've had -- when i've raised issues about potential impacts related to land use, zoning and city policy resulting from increased heights that are being proposed for projects, there's always been in my recollection rebuffed because the city has always argued that those kinds of things can be changed, that heights can be raised, bulk and other standards can be raised, that the general plan can be amended, et cetera. so, i'm quite surprised in this case to find that there is a significant and unavoidable impact in the analysis in those sections. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further, we can move on to your next item. >> actually, commissioner moore. >> i would like to restate my question to extend the written comment period to october 23rd and ask for commission support for that. >> second. >> can we vo

words, that our arrangement with the wonderful parks alliance, allows us to make a donation so that the people of san francisco, particularly those in rincon hill, will be able to enjoy emerald park 7 days a week forever with absolutely no cost to the city or to the people of san francisco. speaking for me as well as peter who couldn't make it today, this gift gives us an enormous amount of pleasure. i am also speaking as i rarely do for my wonderful wife, dr. rio, who is an equal donor with me. over the last 38 years, san francisco has been incredible to us and it is truly marvelous to pay back a little bit of our debt. we love the city and are so honored to be able to help in this small way. thank you.

parks, recreation, and green open spaces. today i think that you'll find that the and rincon hill is no exception to that. you might know that back in the gold rush era, rincon hill where we're standing right now was one of the poshest addresses in san francisco. this was the place to be ~ . and then pacific heights took over and rincon hill fell into decline. then came the bay bridge and rincon hill really for decades was something of a back water. well, look at it now. we're surrounded by high-rise development, the presidential towers, built, getting built, and more of them planned. so, once again, rincon hill is one of the most sought after popular places to live in san francisco. but where are the parks? where are the public open spaces? where are the places where all of these thousands of residents can gather and reflect on the meaning of life and make connections and form community? there's no public open space within nearly half a mile of where we stand today. that is about to change. so, it's now my honor to welcome to the podium alleyster mctag bert, the president of the emerald fund. the emerald
