these are piers and the seawll. -- seawall. they have the potential to reimburse this for the infrastructure improvements. in 2003, it went through a full environmental review, almost 300,000 square feet of general office, parking spaces, a two- level terminal, an excursion deck, and legislation that was consistent with the public trust. and there was a potential for additional units on housing. we have already tried to foster conversations. planning, integration, understanding the future of the park there, and they are excited about their success. the powerpoint is behind us. op-ed -- we need infrastructure improvements to be made for these public facilities. there is the dredging, in working with the maritime director, and we believe that a fair amount of the dredging, especially with the catamarans, might be included in what the port has. the removal of pier 36, construction of the brandon street wharf project, all of that is independently funded that is happening with or without the project, regardless. that is happening. b

there is not a concept of those, including on the seawall lot. we are marion that asset with 332, where we would never be able to make -- we are marion and those assets, where we would never be able to make that work -- we are marion -- marrying those assets. pier 50 is in a growing community. it is a sizable pier. while it would be great, it would be more difficult. if we can work with the access for pier 50, which does not have public access, that would be great. supervisor mirkarimi: with a value, the downturn, how has it been effected? >> as i said earlier, it is pretty much in negative valley. they had to put twice in in order to get to that. we do not have an appraisal on seawall lot 330, but we would need to do that moving forward. pier 50, it is harder to know what the value of that is. our capital plan calls for approximately about $60 million in needed investment just to continue its current use. that would be shoring up the @. supervisor mirkarimi: what about rehabilitating the piers so that they would not compromise the question or a

what is the best use to san ¢jz of seawall lot 51?we are not aware of any other proposed)x alternativs for this land. windy rfp xbwent out a couple of went out a couple of years ago, there were two respondents,f- and one promptly withdrew. we think that it would be good to put this land usefç question into perspective. when the golden gateway was built in÷r the early 1960's, ths land was already in intensive use, denselÍ occupied, and we should be clear that residents and businesses were displaced order to accommodate the construction of the golden gateway, which conversation in san francisco about the best use of this land. does anyoneu9z think that this d was sand dunes before the golden gate was built? v washington project displaces no one. what it offers instead%b is opening of jackson street, much more public open space,íd and unfortunately, something that has not been mentioned is construction of subsidizedbv bw market rate housing for families that would not otherwise be able to stay in saù francisco, so what we are left w

request approval of term sheet for seawall lot 351 with san francisco waterfront partners as part of the washington project. >> hello, commissioners. i am with the port planning and development staff. my name is jonathan. i am here to ask for your endorsement of a term sheet for see what 351 project as part of the 8 washington over all development. i put up on the projector a slide showing the site. it is about two-thirds of an acre. as a way of background, the commission authorize support staff to issue a request for proposals for development sub medal in 2008 for this parcel. we received a proposal in december 2008 from san francisco waterfront partners. we evaluated the proposal and came to the port commission for recommendation of a development which was awarded in 2009, subsequently, imports have entered into a negotiating agreement in august 2009 with the developer. i am here today to present the term sheet that came out of those exclusive negotiations and asked for your recommendation to move on the endorsement and to endorse the term sheet. i should also note, in february, th

if you go out to 2100 where you are constructing seawalls and adding more pumps or doing whatever it is that needs to be done without some sort of major break through in new technology in the next hundred years, i don't know what those costs would be.

we might have to build seawalls around the city, we might have to firm up large areas, we're just going to have to pump a lot more. and i guess sort of a discussion point i have about more pumping is conceptually that's simple to do, but for the longest time we've been talking about this in our master planning efforts is the notion of sustainability and lowering green house gas emissions and in essence not using more electricity, use gravity and other things to do what we have to do. unfortunately now that we have this climate change problem and rising tides and so on, it kind of turns us around where one sort of solution that you just think of is more pumps, but how is that becoming more sustainable? i don't really know what the answer is yet and i think that's why we, you know, convene summits like this. i think all of us are going to be facing very similar kinds of situations and it's the kind of thing we all need to think through together and figure out how to resolve. so to recap, the specific problem from a utility management point of view that we face in the near future is the no

if you go out to 2100 where you are constructing seawalls and adding more pumps or doing whatever it is that needs to be done without some sort of major break through in new technology in the next hundred years, i don't know what those costs would be. i think they would be very, very large. so, with that, i hope that triggers some discussion, get ever t

'my name is andrew corning. i am am0 resident of san francisco and condo owner. i have lived here for four years. iód support this development and want to congratulate the developer and architect on the work they have done. a÷there havf benefits that you have heard about today, including thebm wy this development will activate the area along the bay shore, improve the urban design of the p@÷area, and also increase the density of the city, which will mprove the overall stability of the area.e overall stability of we have also heard,m think is very important, that this development is in line with zl÷the northeast embarcadero st, which is also very important, but what i wanted to do today perspective. when i was a in sydney,

the swap of seawall lot 330, we do not know. the financing may be included in the $32 million. i do not know. reimbursements to event authorities, helipad -- maybe that is included in the $325 million. maybe it is included in the $35 million. i do not know, i do not know, i do not know. it seems to me that colleagues and staff do not know the answers to these questions. so we are being asked on a committee meeting at monday and a board of supervisors' meeting the following tuesday to approve a term sheet. i have negotiated a couple of term sheets. a negotiated a term sheet on treasure island late into the night. the conditions have changed. but typically, term sheets that come in front of the sport have these types of questions answered. there are hard numbers associated with the terms. and i realize that mr. ellison is on a truncated timeline, but i think that in terms of our last, best vote on this item, and there are more legally binding votes, but let us be clear -- it is going to be very hard to cast a vote against this once this vote is cast and once san francisco is sele

in the free willy movies kako's character is befriended to help an orange can a leap a seawall to realitye faces a greater obstacle, his own ignorance of how to survive in the wild. so in a small icelandic bay at the foot of towering volcanic cliffs the free willy foundation built a $$1 million net pen the size of a football field, a halfway house to freedom. today they eased kako into the pen for the first swim in the chilly atlantic since he was captured near here 19 years ago. [ applause ] >> reporter: kako has spent the last two years here at the oregon coast aquarium in a larger cold water pool especially built for him. no more public shows but trainers have put him through his old routines and new training to teach him how to catch live fish. >> he is down at the bottom looking at it. starting to make a move towards it. >> it's not easy. he likely has never learned hunting skills before he was captured as a baby. >> it is in his mouth and let it out. >> trainers say the schoolg will have to continue in iceland. >> he is really a master full hunter. he has been a good student all alo

so we will build levies around the airports, we will build a seawall around the san francisco waterfront. flood control is already being incorporated into the planning for the salt pond to wetland conversion project in the south bay and we'll change the way we store and move fresh water around california. economically, we don't have any other choice. but the cost will be enormous. and where we'll get the money and what other important investments and expenditures we'll have to forego to afford this are the bigger questions. but we do have other choices. there may be some areas along the bay shore line where it's more cost effective to remove existing development and replace it with flood-absorbing wet lands than it is to protect the low value structures. there may be areas, particularly in the delta, where it's better to halt planned development than it is to allow the development to be built and then face the cost of trying to protect it from inevitable flooding. clearly, what we have to do is figure out how much it will cost to protect everything that's vulnerable to flooding, figure o
