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 alleyway. Thats my comment and i will draft this into a letter. Seeing no other questions or comments into the commission we will move on to the next item. I have one question and its a followup from what commissioner johnck was talking about. What is the process for because, you know, i opened the document and saw the 740 pages and almost fainted. I had to dig to find out where is the information that i need to look at this. And, you know, found one or two pages like that that, you know, talked
Advice than necessarily, you know, permits or approval, but id just like some clarification on that and then theres some other ideas that i have but for now those are my general. Thank you. Commissioners, any other questions, comments . Well open this up to Public Comment. Any member of the public have a comment . Seeing none. I would like to recommend we wrote a letter with our comments. I found this eir to be sort of unsatisfying, i guess, in terms of the preservation alternative. It was 740 pages and there was one drawing of the preservation alternative. Of all the 740 pages i believe theres only 11 drawings of any building at all, so there was a lot of text and as commission johnck said, a lot of it seemed very mechanical. But theres 3 Historic Buildings on the site and they are destroying one of them so thats onethird. It felt to me there were a lot of other alternatives that could have been explored which was a very sweet building. If this concept is all about revitalizing the al
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 been working on that all summer, weve been working on the preservation element and the policies and id like to see some of those addressed in the environmental document. I experienced what was called urban renewal in several towns in the east coast during the 60s and this is of course before the National Environmental policy act was written and many of our state and local environmental laws. And it was unfortunate, new haven, connecticut, is one town, north adams, massachusetts, where really the r
My b. A. In Child Development and im currently at the university of San Francisco pursuing a degree in organization and leadership and education. My vision for this new office which im really anointed about, the 9 seats that will be represented are critical in sort of creating a system or strengthening the system to continue to work on the strengths and successes that weve had over the years, leverage our resources, San Francisco is rich with resources so we have to continue to find out how to leverage those so obacker our families can benefit, increased access, particularly for children with special needs, nrs a focus on continuity of care, a lot of the children that are in my program that have special needs, we figure out by leveraging other resources and funding to continue to provide those services to our children so they can benefit from the continuity of care who we know its important for these people. Breaking the silos among city departments and aligning our vision, we can str
