Nature of the business of bookings for this event, which is substantial and represents significant revenue to the department, the nature of that is such that the sooner outside lands people have guarantees of the terms of their contract the sooner they can book x. That addresses the quality of the production of the show they are going to do. So it seems very pressing to have this matter get as soon as possible through this commission and to the board of supervisors. Its been suggested and im in support of it that we try to put a special meeting together the week after thanksgiving. I would recommend thursday the 29th at 10 a. M. If that works for other commissioners. It shouldnt margaret you will have to know the availability of rooms, et cetera. Yep. I put that on the table with the idea that i would like to i dont want to circumvent the public process but i want to try and get this done as fast as we can. 29th at 10 00. Is there any compelling objection to this . With that, margaret,
Into the water and create an interesting focal point along this portion of the waterfront that is essentially today an open space in between Giants Stadium and the financial district and the bay bridge itself. One of the other views, studies that we did was simply from public spaces. So, this is a view from an area that is essentially where main street reaches down to bryant street. Today thats a lesser known street. But in the future when transbay terminal is built, one will imagine that street will be more pedestrianized than it is today. And also well see more traffic moving, pedestrian traffic moving down this corridor. So, we wanted to make that view and the view between pier 28 and pier 30 a unique view and we wanted to preserve the types of finger pier type spaceses in this particular slot. So, the buildings are of similar height along that edge. Additionally as you move from main street proper looking out as you come down the hill, you know thats a very, very steep hill right t

Related to this ramp itself. The retail functions of the site are placed in a lowrise structures that are very much in the quality and appearance, esthetic of the original structures along the piers. So, theyre about 60 feet high and they have the shedlike appearance that were still developing. Theyll have direct access from the embarcadaro. This is a view showing those retail facilities in relation to nearby pier 28. Youll see theyre about the same height. So, there is no sort of wall or tower kind of structure on the west side of the embarcadaro. Its simply continuing the esthetic and mass of the existing facilities. Mr. Dikers, can we just ask you about those structures . Sure. Are they like Shopping Mall type retail, or what would be the purpose of those sheds . Theres a number of functions that are being considered, certainly a range of functions all the way from traditional coffee shops, restaurants and things that the community might be able to use, all the way to larger venues
