Supervisor avalos just so we know beforehand the supervisor for the district is also unintelligible for applicants to come in, and have their decision based in applicants can begin. I have a motion to continue on her request. Have three minutes or two according for this . Supervisor avalos three is fine for me. Thank you to the chairman and the members of the committee for hearing me today. In terms of my applicable experience i have been responsible for developing a pedestrian friendly vision. That is something i feel very strongly about. This opportunity i think is really exciting because it is in affect creating a brandnew neighborhood for the city of San Francisco that has so many complex elements and it. I have been through the comprehensive plan for the island. It is extensive and one of my qualifications is that i understand the vision and where it is headed. I applaud that and i know how much time it takes to put it together and it is been many years in the making. There is a critical junction here when planning is turning into the physical development of the island, beginning in the next couple of months when demolition starts taking place. I have been in that place before, with thousands of acres turning into a thriving community, overseeing the construction of transportation networks, trail and parks facilities, public facilities, sites for homes that were at various levels of affordability. Supervisor avalos where was this . A Community Called dupont landing in washington, one of the hallmarks of community planning, designed by unintelligible in berkley. Looking at the comprehensive plan. Im excited at the opportunities it can be seen as a brandnew community, looking at the use of the wetlands as part of the Water Treatment plant there. For the last five years i have been involved in the company that creates a new stores wetlands across the United States so i value that deeply. This is a grander use i would say of those wetlands; im particularly eager to see how that plays out. The other parallel is that in the course of the unintelligible project there was a huge environmental issue there, covering over 600 acres. It was an old black powder plant, much like hercules was here. When that use and it there was a substantial arsenic and lead contamination that we have to clean up. I dont think that things are quite severe in Treasure Island is that. Radioactive waste. There is that. Im enthused by using my experiences to create unintelligible and restore wetland and bring them to Treasure Island. One of the most satisfying things in the past project has seen a transform unintelligible talking to new residents and employees who come they are to see the enthusiasm on their faces that we achieved what we set out to achieve in a like to do the same thing at Treasure Island. Supervisor avalos thank you. Supervisor tang thank you for your interest in your appearance today. Im curious if you have gone to the advisory Committee Meetings and what you have seen. And what you have perceived as some of the issues that face Treasure Island. I have attended one of the citizens Advisory Board meetings in june. At that meeting there was no discussion about the transition plan but i am aware that they are existing residents on the island. There is a transition plan in order to carry it forward so they are not displaced from the island as it takes these others transformative steps. I know that there has been considered and i was able to speak briefly with one of the residents on the board and asked her specifically how the concision plan appeared to her and what i heard was a positive response, that it did accommodate the residents of the island and plans and expects good things there. That is extent of my experience with that. Supervisor avalos thank you and will open up for comment; i will ask for a motion to continue so that we can review other applications as well but your name will still be in the mix. Very well. Supervisor avalos Public Comment is now open. Hi, im becky unintelligible , for seven or eight years.

Last month i worked on the resolution to have the Planning Department and unintelligible and part of it a Strategic Plan for district 6 and district 10 for how to get more parkland in those areas. Is something that is needed and it is very important and we need to make sure that it is done properly. The if it is the last thing i did im happy to go out on that. I want to make sure that our parks in the district that i have represented in the past and have taking care of and in other districts is something really important to me making sure that other districts that dont have parks like i have had in my life are represented in park land. Supervisor avalos thank you.
