Mravn Vice President staff. This would be quiet a historic day for the japan community. Were here to get the strategy and the adoption of the japan statement passed. First, well hear from shelly to introduce the item around the historic based statement good morning commissioners shelly from the preservation staff. Im presenting ignore o for the recommendation the japan historic statement. This is the author with the contributions from our Historic Preservation page and Department Staff. Numerous members of the japan Town Community also duo donated their time. This was in plan for four years ago. And specifically its now created a framework with our japan heritage and stability strategy. The boundaries of the study area are designed for the h f project area and this the the California North and the golf street to the east and stooern to the west. This area was and is considered to be japan town in San Francisco. The time periods described that troilt the cultural Historic Development in
For japan town which would recognize the practices of the community and the environmental and educational aspects of their institutions and of the area and relationships to the cult social rather im with the planning staff. You said this ante because you talked i talked about the peace plaza but im not sure im prepared to talk about that laughter but peace plaza. There is it thank you commissioner. I also wanted to discuss the various emails we got within the past twentyfour hours we got on the properties. Also within one of the emails it further elaborated on the historical background and thats important to include and i recommend that be added to some resolution.

We looked at a notion that the commissioners raised that the elements open the facade the terra cotta elements seemed vertical so if theres a way to bring up the horizontal elements between the buildings that would help. So we introduced our terra cotta i guess theyre called in front of the windows as a way to carry the material around the windows and that results in a perception of the overall facades of having a design comparable with the adjacent buildings. Another issue that was brought up was that the terra cotta the way it was detailed looked flat because it met metals at the correspondence so we use is the terra cotta wher
