Apportioned building to a building that was right next to it on Mission Street. I thought that looked very, very well. Ive also been told this is a done deal by a lot of the people ive spoken to already. And id like to think that that is certainly not the case. And im hoping that you will reconsider and keep your approval of course to the original project okay, thank you, maam. Your time is up. And thank you. Thank you. Next speakers, if i called your name in addition, robert her and tom harte. President fong, commissioners, director ram, im here representing 45 fremont associates as they are the building directly to the north on fremont street, 350 mission. And our very acute problem is that we did not receive notice of this proceeding or that there was a contemplation an increase of 100 feet in height, six stories, 25 increase in the building adjacent to our building, and in particular, adjacent to our public plaza area. We respectfully request a postponement of a month so that we ca
Again, nominally slight change in the height of the building. This is the existing elevation of the building. This is the extended elevation. A rendering back to the building down fremont. And a view of the building down mission. In each case it shows the existing condition on the left and the proposed extrusion on the right. The building is unique in the sense that it sits directly across from the Transbay Center and weve looked at creating a really unique and public space at the lobby level, a 52foot lobby, which is focused on pedestrian use. This is a shot inside that shows the ability to move freely through the lobby and also some amphitheater type seating to support the retail. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Okay, opening it up to Public Comment. I have a few speaker cards. Rita alber. Gita vash. Paula [speaker not understood]. And daria venisee. Good afternoon, commissioners. Paula pratt low and gita had to leave. We are not familiar with your unique process, so, its been quite an e
I do find it peculiar, though, that all of the renderings on that site, including the animation, depict mission as though it has already been approved for the increase and over a hundred feet for a grand total of 455. I think i saw a picture that stated that the top of the buildings was 375 feet, and im not sure all the documentation i have from you states 350 feet on the approved project. Forgive me if im distorting that in some way. And i understand that the planning departments plan for our neighborhood contemplates mixed residential, commercial, and office use which is terrific, anchored by that wonderful transbay terminal when it is finished. I look forward to that day. The additional floors requested in this proposal will significantly increase the shadows over Mission Street. Lets just go ahead and put that on the table, shall we, because its going to throw a shadow. Its going to make that creepy tunnel effect thing happen. So, im happy that we can kind of just chat about that.
Of just chat about that. Its 100 feet higher than it is today, what is before you. By increasing the height of this project, it seems kind of inconsistent with the plan that will add office space to the detriment of residential and commercial occupants. Im rather curious what was wrong with the original proposal. I thought it was a very well apportioned building to a building that was right next to it on Mission Street. I thought that looked very, very well. Ive also been told this is a done deal by a lot of the people ive spoken to already. And id like to think that that is certainly not the case. And im hoping that you will reconsider and keep your approval of course to the original project okay, thank you, maam. Your time is up. And thank you. Thank you.

Dont get any notice, i dont understand that. Its one thing for me not to get a notice. When people like that dont get a notice, i think you pay attention. I can just eat dirt. But apart from that what peter said is absolutely correct. You have the ability to not approve the projects. These are discretionary actions that youre being asked to do with discretionary actions comes discretion. I dont consider dbi to be the last word on fee deferral ~. Does this commission have the ability to say, if you want something, you should give us something . Part of it probably is you should give continuance to let the neighbors become aware of the project. But you should also ask Sales Force Sales force, really huge company. Kill roy, really huge. These are billion dollar companies. Why do we have to struggle with getting Affordable Housing money out of these people . Its one thing for the Residential Builders and people like that that are low developers coming before you and saying, really its goin
