Compatible with the historic structure while being clearly differentiated will not result in the removal of historic fabric and the historic character of the landmark building will be preserved. The new kiosk will have nonhistoric material and will be configured to retain the arches, columns and Spatial Relationships that characterize the north arcade. Installation of the new retail kiosks will allow the full width of the arcade to be more visible than is the case with the existing steel storage...

Think the Historic American Landscape survey would be helpful here. Theres a lot in that part of the city that the geology, the land forms, the landscape, basically that would be helpful to understanding the context of how were looking at the buildings and the infrastructure that is being proposed for change and renovation. So those are my ideas at the moment. Thank you. And i will just repeat commissioner wolframs comment about the alleyways. They have completely taken out the character of the ...

Building could be a pavillion within the open space and elevations would be exposed so i felt the preservation alternatives didnt seem to be very complete. Commissioners, any other comments, questions . Commissioner johnck. Yeah, to continue to echo the comment about the lack of exciting vision and how we can visualize this exciting project in the context of an exciting San Francisco, the eir didnt do that. I kept saying we need to have more emphasis and look on the preservation element. Weve be...

All four of us, including the coyote just stood there in a silence i can only describe as sacred or spiritual. I am an ordained Roman Catholic deacon, and i know a holy moment when i experience it. And then ...

Did not this latest prop sail proposal before the commission, they did esthetic improvements and green roughs. That is the project being presented. But our position is still the department has been that we felt it was more appropriate to keep that as an open space than a potential development site. Im actually, to be very honest, quite surprised about that assessment. I do not find the open space an intentionally designed open space. It looks to me more like left over pie shaped wedges of the hi...
