i see first ideas really dealing with developing san francisco as a waterfront city. i believe that the work is thorough. i believe the work is creative. i'm intrigued by the sizing of buildings. i'm very intrigued a the building height. it's not actually protruding above the cliffs beyond but it nestles in front of it. i think that's a positive sign. i'm sensitive to the questions that community is asking. i appreciate commissioner johnson actually digging deeper and having experts talk to the particular aspects of it. we have actually supported development agreements and certainties that come with supporting them. many of the larger projects in the last eight or ten years are all based on that same model. i assume he will come up and speak to it. i'm very confident that the document that thorough planning effort are all spot on and i feel very comfortable of supporting them including the guidelines package. at this moment, i'm in full support of all aspects of the project and i like to also say that i believe that they presented themselves as extremely responsible d

coordination of this, and pier 70, along with the rest of what's happening along the waterfront is a fantastic opportunity that the city seems to be taking advantage of. for what it's worth, i think the potential conversion of -- i can't remember what it's called, but the structure next to the stack into the hotel. >> building 3. >> building 3. >> commissioner black: building 3 is clever as can be, and i hope that that's possible, yeah. so those are my comments. >> president wolfram: thank you. i have some final comments here. i don't -- does anybody else have any comments before we wrap up? i want to thank you for your presentation. it was really a fascinating project. i would say that in these projects, that there is a lot of new development all happens, and where everything is new, that they are definitely benefited when they're historic resources that are part of it, and that i encourage you to be creative in your thinking and maybe incorporate ways that are not necessarily meeting the secretary standards necessarily, but there are ways to include elements of historic buildings in the development because i think it
