making sure that the park felt open to all park users. safety came up as a theme as well so we met with the stakeholders and the architects for the you project and they are going to give a brief presentation on the feedback that they heard and how they responded to the feedback. then we had a larger community meeting where we met with any member of the public who wanted to come. we presented the revised design and collected additional feedback. the feedback was largely consistent with that provided by the original stakeholders. so we have been able, i think, to really chief achieve most of what folks have asked to. there are a few issues still on the table, which i think is something for us to consider as well. there is say desire there -- two planters that function more than attractive nuisance, that are on st. mary's part of the square that we own and consistent feedback that people would like to see those removed, if possible. and with the removal of the fence that would separate the expansion area from the rest of the park, there are r

the proponents of the parking plan include the following: the number of parking spaces and rational, the average number of employees anticipated to be on-site each day. the timing and fadesing of the project, and the requirement of an update from the contractor at a midpoint of the project to notify the department of any expected changes. whether it's possibly feasible to use opportunity for carpooling or other off-site parking arangement suches as nearby garbages and that on-street parking is valuable to the general public by 4:00 p.m. if the space has gob unused. and other information effect that is deemed valuable for understanding the impact of the project only the neighborhood or neighborhood parking supply. and since the introduction of this legislation supervisor christensen was also engaged with us on this the issue, given the impact she was seen in district and i will let her explain the key components that she fought for. i believe it's a simp, straight forward piece of legislationings that will have positive impacts throughout all of our neighborhoods and residents. my offi

things that have not changed the design of the park as well in agreement to maintain the park in period of time it's that is a benefit to the city that gridlock out stretches the in kind agreement and the park itself and also the developers is proposing a gift to the city above and beyond more than the in kind park a valued at we're here to ask for an increase 23wr0 $88 million to $2 million $369,000 plus an increase that's about a 40 percent of total increase of the cost of the project the project is 3 housing unit $7 million to over $4 million why has to there's i'll go through that in the in kind all the time and the park construction costs since the original time we scoped this project over $450,000 it is for the developers only the cost of doing business as but the k34r5ik9d business detailed their work and moving a sewer line to a place it can be assessed in the future so the planning department said that portion is not your fault the are developer will that's why take that and it is $900,000 plus biggest change is since the in kind agreement the city attorney's office ruled that
