Concerned that the proposed highrise plan undermines the goal of the walkability and communitycentric charact characteristics of our neighborhoods. It will intensify high wind patterns and creep eight an unwelcome pedestrian experience. Weve already lost an enormous amount of light due to the linkedin building. A neighborhood was designed to enhance proximity to the bay and light reflecting off the water. Increasing all the density will overstress and overcrowd our few green spaces, such as south park, which may not only be cast into shadow, but also damaged and filled with litter by day use by people who have no interest more than eating their lunch and smoking a cigarette. Our neighborhood is already stressed with high traffic. It includes many highways and exit ramps and a huge conference center. I applaud the effort to make the sidewalks more pedestrianfriendly, the Planning Commission must balance these efforts during baseball season and everyday commuter rush hour. Thank you. Im
Bobby wilson and rick swig. Deputy City Attorney will provide the board with any advice this need. Im cynthia goldstein. We have corey teague, assistant Zoning Administrator, who is here representing the Planning Department and commission. We should be joined shortly by senior building inspector joseph duffy.

Be able to develop . You know, from being in the neighborhood, my experiences is that i think people almost universally in the neighborhood would like to see that developed as housing. I mean, we have a housing crisis in this city. And the parking lot itself, you know, in the long run, isnt what the community, i think, is going to want or need. The communitys becoming more tech focused. I think well see a decline in cars. Unless somethings done with the traffic situation there, i mean but tigers will be there forever. Tigers and glen park station, and la corneta, i think, will never go away. You know, this is a dilemma that im probably going to ask the department to explain, but you know, my auntie rosa owned the dry cleaner on the corner for years that had all the Police Uniforms on it. Yeah, thats my dry cleaner. Yeah. Yeah, i really think and to the degree that the five years im here, this is something i would push aggressively to see housing develop, because we do have a crisis, an
Owed money including the i. R. S. , which has priority. So were not higher priority than the i. R. S. , unfortunately. So well monitor that and appear at hearings for the city. Payit plans are up to date. And on pages 5 and 6, you can see our customary charts that list the caseload statistics in graphic form. I will take any questions. Commissioners . Commissioner chiu . Yes. In your write up, the new York City Campaign finance board, the director talked about using data to investigate and uncover wrongdoing. Is that something that we could do here . I think so, yes. We track and require disclosure of a lot of the same information and we dump it into a portal called s. F. Open data, where we can put in criteria and search. To some extent, my investigators are doing that already, but i did get ideas from that speaker of what to look for and the data and she gave a couple of examples to get at darkmoney usage and coordination among campaigns. I was excited about that presentation. Great.
Actually starting to see the fruit of that strategy long before there was this data. President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well . A park is never punished for a feature that the park doesnt contain. Its only what is at the park that is not maintained. You talk about ornamental bed, what is that . Its a piece of landscape that has planting. Its not necessarily a box, but it could be. If you look in a different neighborhood playground, center beds might be considered around port smith for example, the beds that align sort of the kearney and stockton around the perimeter of that park. We have a mix of landscapes. We have lawn, we have so the ornamental bed. Lawn is different, but where were actually planting plants and arranging beds, we consider those ornamental beds. Using port smith as example, that is a problem. That area. Considering that, and then getting to the equity like the commissioner mentioned, i
