the two men were shot on mission street coming from embarcadero. nd there are historic if funeral procession may have begun on mission but this was not just on one 1 block of stuart. page two attorneys letter states the property, not the facade, the property is a historic resource because of it's direct relationship with historic events that occurred during the strike. the sponsor cites flimsy sources that there is some imaginary wall dividing the second floor yethey provide no documentation to this. on the contrary the entire second floor was accessed from one stairway. obviously the entire second floor had to be connected. there is no reason to separate the different sides of the building. by the way, there is fundamental rule to argument. it was considered as a whole. there used to be good and bad sides but that's donna way with for a long time. you need to consider it as a whole. the ground floor had emerging to the stuart side. i'm surprised the projector project sponsor team isn't just using the whole floor. the facade would be destroyed if yo

iconic sights dot the embarcadero. the works of art along the embarcadero aren't all for sale.e of them are missing. you might run past or walk right on top of some of them without so much as a glance. >> so much going on. i could miss it. >> reporter: like the plaques along the water front or the metal alonglong beaches. now you see them. now you don't. >> so maybe this is metal thieves. >> reporter: just an empty space and cut bolts where a sea creature once lived. >> how do they pry them up from the ground? >> public property goes missing. that is stealing. >> reporter: he says they are aware there are missing pieces along the embarcadero project. some damaged. some stolen. >> some have a recycling value to some. >> reporter: a stolen plaque is worth about 12 bucks. the commission is taking inventory and thinking of new ways to keep public art from getting into private hands. >> you got to think like a criminal. >> no, like a public space manager. >> reporter: they are learning from experience here along the embarcadero. the star fish are bolted to the ledge with bolts that

this is the facade of the department do acknowledge that and notice the faus on embarcadero and do contribute to the history. however, we believe it's the stuart street facade that is most closely associated with the historic events relate to why the building's significance in the first place. so there are changes to embarcadero facade that wouldn't be consistent with the interiors but as a whole we did not believe it would cause a significant impact to the resource. therefore an impact to the environment. >> if the common wealth wouldn't move it there, would it be in the article? >> it would still be considered' resource and if someone wanted to pursue landmark of the property, they can. >> my question to the project sponsor, thank you. common wealth club. project sponsor team? and the fact taht is that you landmark that part of the billion are -- building, are you going to landmark it? >> hi, ceo of the club, daughter of the docks in san francisco in the 1930s. so we have not thought of landmarking it. we can certainly look into it. i should say that the common wealth club intention is to b

certainly, you can make arguments for the embarcadero facade to keep the integrity of the building. i don't think it necessarily adds recognizing what happened in 1934. i think it great that the common wealth club with it's mission one has a home and will be able to stay here, but also is it an organization that will take seriously what happened there and honor that as opposed to an office developer. i think it's responded sense actively to the stuart street side. the p.m.d has addressed it's impact. >vice-president cindy wu: commissioner moore? >>commissioner kathrin moore: thank you for your comments because i sat through the first one which didn't do anything and they had to be reminded and then there was a blank stare to acknowledging the importance. facts and details from p.m.d spells out the importance and again the question of how do you preserve memory, how do you honor memory and in what form do you respectfully now bring the archives, the library, etc literally to the doorstep of stuart street? you have to walk in and you are in the middle of it. huh? i do not believe the

has come to us several times this year, to talk about how we can improve the traffic patents on the embarcadero and we had the planning department come and talk to us about how we need to integrate more in terms of their effort and we do talk to them. and i think that not all of that is evidenced in the current version of the water front land use plan and we can reference it but i think that there is more than ad hoc work going on between the port and the rest of the city. and i think that we at the commission are encouraging more integration. and as we talk in particular about the sea level rise that is not going to happen unless there is a fully integrated way of working this across the city and it will not succeed and we have already started that process and not only in the city family but with the cdc and we welcome more input and it is something that has to take and integrated and if i take your comments to say that we have to work in a fashion and i don't think that we will disagree with you and i think that is the correction that the commissioner have given the staff in that regard and s

you can't ever walk along the embarcadero and not be grateful for what the port is doing. so let's talk for just a minute and in the last part and that i will cover and which is what has happened since the reports came out and there is a number of things that have happened and both in terms of a state of each of the reports that we talked about, and different changes have been put in place but let me, let me indicate that we are given a very strict structure on how we write our reports and so we have to come up finings and recommendations, and recommendations have to come from the findings and we have to identify who should respond to those recommendations. and your executive director moyer responded to the commission recommendations in the time frame which was set which is 60 days and, for another commission that we had looked at and they held a public session and sent six hours going through our report and because they had linked into on each of the recommendations and that i think they have 29 recommendations and the commissions submitted their responses including even

thankfully the boston properties and embarcadero buildings was set back this was how i was able to makepen 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 through the development of the port. i'm going to leave i monique with a proclamation of all i did in the city and you should listen to the people we want the best they pointed out how important this sea level rise is it's frightening what if they built washington up to the sidewalk they wanted to think about this you go outside and the water the level of the water is the same as the sidewalk in terms of this big picture. forewarned a
