I follow Port Development and other projects for many, many years. By now, you have either seen the letter that the state Lands Commission wrote to the city attorney, or you have probably at least seen the chronicle article about that letter. I think what upset me most about this very simplistic water Front Initiative is that it basically trivializes though sapeds of hours of community involvement, in planning. And not to mention the thousands of hours of staff and Commission Ti
Months ago, we accepted it has to be a design worthy of a site in San Francisco and number one to has to be 100 percent privately finance and no general fund money and no new tax dollars that will be allocated to make your project happen. And i guess, you know, number three, you have to embrace, the process, that is San Francisco. What you saw today we are proud of and because the engineers and doing difficult things, the last time that we presented it was the smallest arena in the nba, it took an incredible amount of work to make that smaller to craoe act to the info that we had. And it turned into something, that becomes a place for everyone in the bay area, to enjoy, and now, i understand that we understand the impact, on the neighborhoods. And but it is not the water front is not only for the neighborhoods to enjoy, we have to be responsible, and i think that we are being responsible in terms of pursuing a Transportation Plan with the city, that addresses very legitimate concerns a

An, allocation and that is allocated to the parking garage and it is sticking out from the housing and of course, the cost of getting approval from the state and commission, since that is our area. The proposed mlu, very quickly, determines that we are hoping that we are proposing to be included in the mlu. That the belief, or the term for that mlu will be for a period of three years, the three years, is on the rationale that is going to take roughly about a year for the Housing Office to be able to issue the rfp because of the work load in their pipeline that they are dealing with. And a lot of projects at this point. And usually take between two to three years to get entitlement and good for the upper fro ses and so we thought that three years will be ideal and during that three period year there is going to be a schedule of benchmarks by the selector and developer will need to meet like getting their design done and going through the required review process and those are going to ha
Commissioners is there any comment. I have a comment i am happy that you get your ppa letter from planning and i like how you are lining up your ducks there, and especially with the other two lots, and they are all going to come under the same Environmental Review and that is the real smart way of doing it.
