Board of directors of port side. We are one of the closest residential developments to piers 3032. The devil is in the details. You guys arent here to vote on this. You are here to hear the voaks and i wish i had as much time to explain the pitfalls. What i seen today is the same presentation they have taken around the city and showed the cac and the port. There smoke and mirrors and we know this is a choke point in the embarcadero. We know there is a lot to overcome. We have no facts, no details to work with. The cac was trying to get off the ground and get Public Comment to get the project moving forward so those that live in the neighborhood can coexist with something of this size and magnitude. We are subjected to 40,000 fans 88 days a year with at t park. Now you want to add 19,000 additional fans coming into the city from who knows where and subject our neighborhood to that. One of the pieces of legislation they mentioned earlier today has wishy washy language in it. Things like
Allow different functions during the year. This is a festival and shops along the pier. Different types of vegetation and maritime use provided along the edges and i will finish now and get to the last slide right here. Its uniquely located so it has direct access to the new trans bay terminal, bart stations, muni, and possible ferry connections in the future connecting people to the site and we are providing bike access and different capacities for people to enter and exit the building during different times of the day. On the left is at t park. What is interesting there a lot of people feel that the new arena will have pedestrian over flow on to the street and often use the at t park as an example. Please recognize that at t park is pushed up against the embarcadero and the two primary exits are within 50 feet of the street curb. Our project by placing the arena to the east places it 500 feet from the street itself and provides a plaza for people to gather before they get to the stre
Direction, a north south direction that has value to the pier because the embarcadero and the shoreline is just not about looking out from the bay. Its about looking up and down the shoreline and that is driving our thinking. The other thing we want to talk about is many of you may have seen designs in the paper and this is the first one shown in the San Francisco chronicle and it has affected think going the project and dead center on the pier and Access Points on the edges and suggests there is a large retail area toward the embarcadero and we felt that was cutting off a lot of the access to the visual characteristics of the bay here so we didnt find this useful and we moved the arena away from the embarcadero to reduce the impact and open up more views from the northsouth or eastwest directions and its important to protect those corridors and we will talk more about that. This is the water mark and one of the buildings on the site and you extend that outward and the general corridor
