the kiosk was built in 1938. it serves snacks and light refreshments to visitors to little marina green. the department entered into a lease in 2008 with a three-year lease with an extension -- expiring in april of this year. there was an extension that the current operator chose not to exercise. the department would like to put out to bid the rfp that was solicited. an operator that would offer quality beverage and food at the kiosk. the rfp would require respondents to submit proposed rent, including the greater of the monthly and a guarantee or percentage of gross revenue. it would also require -- stipulate that the proposed payments are not final and that there would be negotiations with rpd, and then they would increase with cpi, and the maximum lease term would be five years in length. in soliciting an operator, we are soliciting an opera with the following minimum qualifications. five years of operating a similar business, including some with a background in food service, a catering, and retail services. sufficient financial capacity to undertake this opportunity. and the ability t

i am alan silverman from the marina community association, and i'd like toly emphasize some of the things that lori just said. the marina community association is not against this project. the marina community association would welcome a project like this in our neighborhood. we are supportive of the people who need this kind of housing. we are supportive of the great work that lark ip treat is doing. and if you are supportive of those things, you will vote against this special use district, because it is a complete waste of money. and the reason that it has to go from the 16 youth to the 24 youth and maybe even more is because the community housing partnership cannot make this work financially for their private investors, who want the 9% tax credit. this project -- when i came into the building this afternoon i noticed that french flag was flying over the building, because today is july 14, and in 1789 the people in france were complaining about some things their government were doing. i can tell you, this project has the same kind of smell about it as came from the bastille on that day.

i don't think any fajitas are going to be stolen if this project goes in cal hollow or the marina. as far as crime goes, i mean, i don't think that's a factor. i think this project helps folks, and this is a way to help the community come together. thank you. >> members of the commission, my name is steven cook. i am a former board member of larkin street, but i'm also a resident of the cal hollow area. larkin street operates over 10 residential sites throughout the city, and i believe that those operations and sites are considered to be good neighbors in each of their neighborhoods. i believe that the edward hotel operation will be a good neighbor to our neighborhood. i urge you to support this project. thank you. president olague: thank you. is there any additional public comment on this item? >> i don't know if she's coming up or -- no. president olague: seeing none, public comment is closed. i would like to at this time acknowledge the mayor's office on housing. usually we acknowledge you with a staff presentation. so if you'd like to come up at this time and address us with som

pick up your radio, tell the marina residents shelter in place. don't go to your staging area out in the marina green. shelter in place. that may be one of your options. choose a room with no windows, as few as possible. pick a room with toilet, water, phone, have it large enough for family members. precut plastic with duct tape. there should be a law. have your disaster kit in that room, have snacks available for kids. turn off the hvac, heating, ventilation air conditioning units because you don't want to be blowing in or sucking in the vapor cloud outside. fireplace, close the dampers and seal off your shelter in place room by using duct tape and terms of the emergency alert system. listen to the radio. that's it. do not try to call the school, try to pick up your children because do you want to leave the area? no, you want to shelter in place. people own pets. do not risk your safety for pets. in summary, it is likely you are at an incident that may be involved with bnice, your safety is the most important. limit your time, get your distance a

>> for the marina degaussing station, that is a complicated project that will need capital and a number of entitlements. i am not the project manager. i would be hesitant to give an exact time line. i think we can expect that work would not immediately begin. >> my point is, the trucks that are there would only be there for about six months. >> and perhaps a little bit longer, yes, but not years and years. definitely an interim years. >> ok, i will entertain a motion. moved and seconded. is there any public comment on this item? hearing none, it is unanimous. >> item 9. general public comment continued. patricia delgado. >> i just wanted to add my voice to the 17th and folsom park. i just want to bring to your attention that this is in the old industrial zone coming from 16th to 23rd. all of that area was originally the industry of san francisco. up the street from me, at the corner of 23rd and harrison was the old winfield paper manufacturing plant. that was resolved and now we have 56 apartments there. the old penske lot, alabama, florida, 14th and 19th. that is all now low-income hou

the marina is in this area here. you can correlate the advancement of the shoreline of san francisco with the potential for liquefaction. >> it is a perfect example. it is all sold and liquefaction. >> treasure island is unique. it was originally developed to be the location of the world fair with the understanding that once it was finished, that would become the location of san francisco international airport. it is 11,000 feet long. in those days, the thought that was more than enough to land any conceivable airplane. they thought it was ideal. they said that we have all kinds of sand out in the bay from the sacramento river. we will take the stand out of the bay and create this island. the sand is loose and below the water. it liquefied in 1957. it liquefied in 1989 during the loma prieta. it was similar to what happened in the marina. >> as they move along and developed treasure island, the developer also has to provide stabilization programs. >> the sand has to be strengthened so that it will not liquefy. the bui

the project site is also within proximity of a number of open spaces, including the presidio, the marina green, and the recreation center. it is the department's recommendation that the commission approved a resolution that recommends that the board of supervisors and into the planning code by creating the lombard and scott street affordable group housing special use district and to amend the zoning map to include the special use district. it is also the department's recommendation that the commission approved the conditional use authorization with conditions to allow exceptions to the density, rear yard, open space, and unit exposure requirements of the planning code for this project. that concludes my presentation, and i am open for questions. president olague: thank you, project sponsor. >> good afternoon. my name is gail, executive director of community housing partnership. i will like to thank the planning staff for all their work today. committee housing partnership, for the last 21 years, as solely been dedicated to developing, operating, and providing services in permanent suppor

the marina doesn't face those kind of problems and it's about time that we really walk the walk here and we talk about spreading the burden evenly across the community. people talk like it's going to be some sort of a tenderloin dropped in the middle of the marina and that's simply not the case. what we have here is a majority of foster youth who, by no fault of their own, have ended up falling out of the foster system. do people know what that means? when you turn 18 you just fall off the edge, unless you're lucky and have parents that can help you out. there is no obligation for foster parents to take care of youth once they turn 18. so you've got a community that's at severe risk of all sorts of crime and all that. i think if we have the kind of supportive system in place where there can be a transition away from the foster system and into a productive life, that is a national tragedy that this case can address right here. i think it's sad to see neighbors in a very privileged district taking such a vehement stand against carrying their weight, because there aren't many opposites

who as some of you know, she is the -- basically the mayor of the marina and she not only has no issueith this, she supports it. president newlin: ok. any other questions? seeing none, can i get a motion? >> i move that we approve the application. with the conditions expressed by the police officers. police department. >> i'd like to second it but offer a friendly amendment that we amend condition number nine and add shal provide a monthly calendar events to northern station as well as to the entertainment commission staff. >> fine with me. >> may i ask a question. does that include private events, for example if a wedding buyout happens? >> the condition exists already, the police say shall provide northern station with a monthly calendar of events. >> no problem. >> ok. and to that i'm just adding and entertainment commission staff. >> no problem. >> it's for you to work that out with the police and staff. >> not a problem. >> just an email. that's all. president newlin: ok. do i have a second? you did a second. ok. call the roll. commissioner roja: aye. commissioner perez: aye. comm

the mainline, stockton and the marina. the one california is a major bust the comes through the district, and a few other lines, of course, on the borders of our district. it is a huge deal for us, and we need to make sure we continue to provide a great service. we are transit first here, and people embrace that, but we need to make sure we have a reliable, robust public transportation system, so it is a big deal. we do have a lot of people in the district that drive cars, a lot of people that have families. i'm one of those as well. i take it was once in awhile, but frankly, the way we have arranged in our family is i spend my morning with my children, and time allowing, i take them to school in the morning, so i drive them with my car. i do not believe the way to achieve our goals is to make parking so inconvenient, so expensive, such a bad experience that people, so to speak, capitulate and take public transportation. that is not the way we are going to make it happen. we need to innovate, in my opinion, our public trans

a woman brought up here recently about 10 minutes ago about a recent murder down in the marina district. i happened to be down at the district when the murder took place. i did not see it. i will say it, i have lived in this city on enough to see that if you look at a murder such as this that took place in the marina and the way in which the crime scene was blocked off, at no time did i see one policemen looking to interview anyone. i have taken nine courses on the administrative justice code, one of them is a police report writing, one of them is investigation, the other one is a criminal investigation. part of solving any murder is taking down notes from as many witnesses as possible. . i have offered my services to two police officers. i ended up talking to one of the investigators later and had to -- and had the pleasure of meeting the man and discuss the city and county been -- city and county of san francisco. i made a statement last year that one of our foremost economists started his career as a police reporter. if you have unbelievable services that san francisco state and city

i have lived in the marina district for 30 years. i have been an indicator for 40 years and have worked with students from middle school to universities. the lowest to the highest academic ability and athletic ability. my question is, how does this benefit the children that they are planning to pile into this unit? how does this benefit them, piling them into an inappropriate building that is going to cost $9 million to renovate? first it was going to be 25 kids. there was going to be overnight guests. now is two in a room. have you looked at this building? i have been then -- i have been there when i was used as a bed and breakfast. the rooms are like closets. there's no public space, no outdoor space. these are at-risk youth. there will not be enough supervision. the dumping them into a neighborhood or they will not be able to afford to shop, to eat, to socialize. this is the most inappropriate situation for these kids. there are other buildings in the area that we have offered that would be way more appropriate for these kids. ther

we are short of dives in the marina. >> i would like to vote for the bowling alley. i am paul owens and i'm the managing member wishes operating a high end of scale lounge in the marina. essentially a couple months back there was a tragedy in this bar. it was called gravity. i am sure you have seen this over and over. i can assure you that we plan on making every precaution. i am not confusing effort with results. i do not want to land back up in front of this commission. all i can tell you is we plan on being on top of everything. we're going with jazz and piano, we are not going to be overly loud. the community means a lot to me. i have 23 investors that have a bigger raft, they would not let this thing get carried away. i would appreciate the full support of this commission. >> thank you. >> president newlin: any questions for the applicant? commissioner joseph? >> commisioner joseph: the format that you are going to run this place in is what? >> the format is a high and cocktail lounge. that is -- no dancing. we are not going to have a dance floor. it is an enter

i grew up in the marina district close to the palace of fine arts. my parents still live in the same set of plants that i live in. i went to grammar school here. i went to st. ignatius here. i am a proud wild cat. i went to college at loyola- marymount university in los angeles. i had a scholarship to play baseball. i remember coming down here to christie field, when my dad was in the military, seeing how the beaches have transformed into but we have today. you cannot beat the views, of course. it just holds summoning memories and i can come here with our kids, our family. i ended up going to ireland to get a master's degree at the university college of dublin. i went back to the states and went to law school at university of pennsylvania. then i came back, and choosing to live in san francisco was natural to me. when you are a child, you do not realize what you had until you leave home. i had the opportunity to live in los angeles, abroad in ireland, and there is no place like home, when you are from san francisco. i have been a corporate attorney a

marina wasn't here. >> reporter: when he bought the boat at the marina he was happy to take the courses offered. >> a maintenance class. and one is to go underneath the bridge they require you to have a coastguard license. >> we will not sell a boat. >> reporter: owning the marina saying the water demo is designed specifically for this area. >> a lot of it is known in the water here there are dangerous parts in the water and you have to really read charts and maps to know where the rocks are and branches sticking up. >> reporter: but on weekends like the 4th of july a greater danger is alcohol. it ised leading contributing factor in recreational boat fatalities. most of the deaths are drownings and most of the victims are not wearing life jackets. >> i have 11 life preservers. there is a fire extinguisher system. >> reporter: items the coastguard will check. >> last week they had police doing sobriety checks stopping each boat coming this way. >> reporter: something he never worries about because he never carries alcohol on board. >> i'm not saying i'm against it personally i don't drink that much so i don't bri

out put the fires out in the marina. you want to stop, look, listen and think. you size up the situation this is what we do in the fire department. you look at it. is it a little fire. a candle burning. do i get the fire extinguisher. is it a big fire can i put it out. >> it would cover the area the size of a table. anything bigger or high are than your head it's too big for you to put out with an extinguisher. wait until everybody is out. it's best to work in pairs. make sure you are the last one out of the room. do not lock it. avoid smoke and gases. cover your mouth and nose with a towel or sheet or dry cloth. if you have a jacket, if there is a flame on the way out put clothes on or wrap yourself in a blanket the layer of clothing will give you protection. have an emergency plan for earthquakes and fires. elevators, a safe place to be? always take it is stairs. when you go down the stairs hang on to the hand rails you will have people bump into you. pay attention to the floors, you have fourth floor, third floor, in c

in the marina people said it felt like a minute. if you are covering yourself under the table and it's shaking what will happen in 30 seconds? you look up, where's the table. hold on to the table. if you are inside, stay in don't go from the known to the unknown. if you are downtown in an office building or shopping at macy's, do you run in the middle of the street? no. you stay where you are. how much time do you have? seconds. you have to make a decision within seconds. if you run to the street what will happen? >> get hit by a car. you have windows, glass to fall on you. high rise. if you know where you are, stay there than to go somewhere you don't know what's there. once it's shaking between 30 seconds to a minute and once it's over, things will fall and tip over. give it time to move around. of course, if there is danger coming to you, you want to move. so, picture these buildings. against the wall. will i go behind this wall? lean against it, cover my head? no. the pictures frames. if they come off and hit me on the top of the
