thrusts as your report indicated in july we have to get this perfect the sea level lag time because it is in the ocean. and the last draft to show you that the projects for sea level rise in the scientific reports are low this the preservation for sea level rise for 1990 what can happen by now i've cut it off at the year 2014 and we redid the projects from the i pcc from the paper on sea level rice rise in 2012 they did the projects again >> he is green lines are narrower and higher as they keep doing it we can look at how inadequate accurate where they those are the best scientific data the redlining is a smooth out trend like that you can see at the top or even above some of the projects so just in the last decade or two the best sequence of science has if anything been low in terms of what can happen that sea level that's the proof the scientists are not intaekt many people say they are their cache but to plan to earthquake or fire safety we go overboard to say what could happen here we're going to do the opposite we're not counting the worse case because we don't know. to close

that concludes the sea level recommendation >> okay. thank you supervisor tang. colleagues is that there a motion to table the hearing on this item >> i'll make the motion and again, thank you to the civil grand jury and take a moment to thank the budget analyst and as well as the agencies that are moving forward on this i serve as the board of supervisors representative to bcdc this has been an enormous concern for all commissioners on bcdc it's gifted e gifrl to get a progress report but obviously we've got more work to do thank you for putting this open the forefront i'm happy to table this hearing and move into onto the recommendations. >> there's been a motion we'll take that without objection. the hearing is now tabled. and also is there a motion to accept the recommendations proposed by supervisor tang to amend the current resolution >> so moved. >> okay. >> i want to make a classification to forward the recommendation responses recommendation 2a where it was recommended that required further analysis we want to clarify a report back in front of the grand

plan for sea level adoption must be a plan fined and implemented by the entire city not just by the port i've spent my life striving to find the best configuration and the best regional plan based on scientific research careful analysis and this approach has worked well in a world of uncertainty but climate change will make your future considerably uncertain ♪ the face of this uncertainty it might be a good idea to do as little as possible and deal integrally with the sea level rise ahead by kick the can down the road is not a solution but a cop-out think big if creating our broad vision for the san francisco's future waterfront and allow the details of that vision to dynamically view if you decide that a higher sea level wall envision a big levy that's being proposed in rotterdam if you feel it will be better to hold back a high waffling like in china or hamburger german or germany to allow you to chief that given a to lay the ground work to allow it to be nipple bell for future where the is certain beyond the sea level rise. this is the legacy of the decisions that were made by our pro

some people for aboutly put a playground there not thinking about all the sea level rise. was at this very room they have meetings about 8 washington i pleaded with you all along with many other people 99 perris of thoughts community criticized it as being the worst architecture disaster and they were right i don't care if it was the leading architect in favor of it was the wrong thing maine it had no set backs. thankfully the boston properties and embarcadero buildings was set back this was how i was able to make open space that was the greatest thing ever. gotten gateway is set back a block from the waterfront thankfully leave it alone we voted for that it was the most foolish thing and sea level is better but that's how the planning commission voted for it i don't know where they got their facts from they could go to 10 different colleges they're not thinking with a full deck my father was an architect he was brilliant ways he had good common practical sense i think i inherit his genes so sea level rise is a real threat you've pointed out but you're not following throug

we have a special presentation, at a time certain 4:00, and from an expert in sea level rise. and john englander and your predecessor will travis and they will be speaking on that issue, and widely but it is also specifically, as it pertains to the port and that is just one that we are on the same page once again on that as well. >> for which we appreciate. >> feel free to invite your board members also. >> we will. >> and this is an opportunity for everyone that is affected by the sea level rise to see what is really being presented. i just want to thank you for being here and listening to the presentation on the water front land use review and we look forward to getting your comments and saw the insights on that as well. and thank you very much for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you. >> next? >> item 8 c, informational presentation and water taxi landing opportunities in san francisco. >>

i was in hydrahave an last year and they have an incredible seawall above sea level that is pretty and that was built and looked like it grew there. i have the great hope we can do this my hats off to the board for taking a lead and you guys it up u picking up on that that >> i also want to thank you for coming i really appreciate our appearing and particularly our commenting and working with our staff it's sixth that we don't try and figure out some of those identity in silos but working together it's interrelated a few things you've said my colleagues touched on bigger issues i was concerned about funding we have to be careful attesting how to go after fund particularly with respect to sea level rise and addressing those challenges but one of the things you've mentioned i appreciate is taking this as an opportunity to figuring out how to use the reassistants posters to be that much better commissioner adams touched on it we're at a turning point we have to make sure we make the wise decisions for properties. one of the things i think and you touched on it, too we need to do it the ri

and so in terms of dealing with the king ties and the sea wall, and the sea level rise and climate change conditions that adds a further challenge to the agriculture building that will require us to seek more public funding resources. south beach china basin, that is our largest subarea, and it spans a large area, largely because the mission bay planning that was in place at the time, bridges both sides, north and south of china basin channel and yet, i think that the improvements where mission bay has really come into its own, are starting to create their own subidentities where open space and the balpark, and those have been the things that have really changed the face and the public's relationship with this part of the water front, and at&t really awakened people that you can walk along and have a good time and not worry about driving and look at alternative transportation and i think that has really been helpful in our discussions and collaboration with sfmta, on the transportation improvements. and i mentioned before, that the improvements for the brandon street, wharf that met the f

, have been designed with the projected sea level rise and so the different means of addressing the sea level rise is basically elevating the sites where we can or elevate in the case of the mission bay shore line project, and we elevated around 15 inches, and the same was taken for the bay view gateway and herran's head park was also built up to protect it from the sea level rise and so this illustration shows what the projections are. and we are having the flooding in the spring and it is projected to in 2050 and where we are at at 2050, and the little arrows show how the water gets to the location and as we move forward with the planning and design for each of the projects, we are taking into consideration the sea level rise. >> so the next steps is to work with the partner agencies including receipt gonal and local agencies on completing the glue green way as well as pursuing the grant opportunities where we can. and the blue green way, and then begin to advance the projects that are funded from the 2012 bonds and with that i am available for any questions, thank you. >> thank you.

we all know that sea level rise is an enormous challenge that we already have issues arising are sea level rise so to speak there's locations where we have winter high tides he an will you explain seawall we're getting into it from a planning standpoint but from a technical infrastructure point not only the port but muni and dpw and so on it's an incredibly important issue. sea level rise this map let's see if i have the right maps those maps show you the impact i'm sure you've seen those this map shows the impact of the 3 feet of sea level rise rise or in the city like mission creek and embarcadero are effected with 3 feet of sea level rise this is on the southern waterfront namely candle stick point and the shipyard in the mid you see the yosemite where the waters go in at 3 feet 3 feet is the number that the city is working with in terms of the potential for sea level rise by the end of the century so observing an important consideration for us you'll see it varies but 3 feet is what months experts agree on is a relating significant number for the end of the century. of course, wi

levels the san franciscan need to hear about this planning mitigation for the intrusion of rising sea level waters we asked for increasing transparency for the money our portfolio was underlined by confidentiality we take a note we've not identify who talked to us we met every monday night and held numerous committee meeting we asked about the items of interest we scoured and into the archives of the city and put hundreds of hours into each report. i want to note we approached our trappings with open minds and didn't have preconceived ideas of the outcomes and broadened on the other hand, our investigations and started with a grand scheme and end up with a focused report. the other thing we've realized we put out the report july 1st and realized the local government is not state inning so some of the issues woirp dealing with were in fluctuates and continued to evolve new information is coming in new numbers for the rising sea levels has come from the national research council and the united nations i pcc. in terms of the draft city has draft guidelines for incorporating sea levels in

wall and to address the sea level rise in places like mission creek. and importantly, we are thinking that our recommendation today, is that leasing historic piers for more than 35 years, without a sea level rise strategy is no longer advisable. >> so, this is the last of our recommendations, and it really goes to what we suggest for planning going forward. we think that in order to balance state and local interests, in the water front, where there is planning going forward, we need to invite bcdc and the state lands to participate in the process. much in the way that we are seeing with the bcdc port working group. given our recommendation that we do the subarea planning and the discreet areas of the water front, rather than the whole water front as was the case with the adoption of the water front land use, and there is a lot of efforts in the projects that are under way and those projects need to continue while the planning discussions occur and looking at the discreet water front subareas, we have planning under way in both the fixer man's wharf are

the sea has broken into these. sea water contaminated the fresh water pond, killing food crops, contaminating the lands from which they draw drinking water. >> it's not just an issue of the islands getting swamped, but the fresh water is poisoned and the land can't grow food. >> people tend to think in terms of the island being submerged and we have a problem. the point is this. as the sea level rises, marginally we begin to face the problems. we - our source of water is from the water lenz. any marginal rise means that what was agricultural land. will no longer be a source of fresh water. it affects the livelihood of people before it and renders it ipp habitable. >> you -- inhabitable. >> you and others talk about all you need is a wave, one big wave could swamp many of the islands. i was struck by ban ki-moon visited at one point and one of his assistants was worried enough he made sure he had a life jacket in his room, which illustrates the dangers faced regularly. i know you took action and land in fiji. how do

thus explaining the open polar sea we all believed in. on the pacific side there was another current called the curo sea world in japanese that means the black current, known to exist, and it swept north towards towards the berg strait. no one knew where it went but the theory was that it tunneled under the ice cap and these two great currents after the world met at the north pole, in this wonderful symmetrical, grandiose, elaborate, thermoregulation system that the planet supposedly had. only some romantic, half crazy german intellectual would come up with this theory and convince a lot of people that it was true. so, here's another rendering of it. key word here is, supposed. so, somebody who is really captivated by the ideas of dr. august peterman was this guy, also excellent facial hair. this is jamesgoers bennett, -- james gordon bennett, jr., the third richest man in manhattan. inherit his newspaper from his dad and was there is sort of spoiled brat, half mad playboy. a yachtsman, won the first transatlantic yacht race. also was a d
