34-36 PLEASANT STREET

- This project will propose a problem to the buses coming and going to the terminal. - The question is  how much office space do we really need? - There are a large number of office buildings, which are not being fully used.

The Supervisor in District 6 has been working on this open space issue. 185 Berry has a lot of open space yet this proposal is for indoor open space. The Park and Rec's priority is to improve parks in the City. This project is not going to provide open space.

Regarding public open space, 101 Second is a magnificent building in this City. It has a grand open space. Yet it's just a lobby. It is not an open space. The proposed construction will have a grand open space. It is an important issue to stop counting lobbies and start counting open spaces. He has worked for several contractors in the City.

Co-Owner of Plant Construction Company They have been in business for 54 years and are a local San Francisco business. He would like to talk about trustworthiness of the developer. His company stared working on the Pacific buildings with just a handshake. He has never had any problems with this developer.

Cupertino Electric He has worked in San Francisco for more than 30 years. He has worked specifically with Pacific Resources in several of their projects. Many of the projects have brought tourist dollars to San Francisco.

Local 22 – Carpenters Union He has been a member of this union for 23 years. Pacific Resources has been a very good company to work with and would like to speak on their behalf.

Local 22 - Carpenters Union He has been a member of the union for 21 years. He urges the Commission to approve this project. Not only is Pacific Resources union friendly but they are also a very good developer to work with since they are very friendly and work with the union.

Chief Engineer of Pacific Place PCX He has been a local 39 Stationary Engineer member since 1986. He was born and raised in San Francisco. This project will be a very needed addition to the area to complete the renovation between Union Square and Yerba Buena. This would be the last piece to complete this project. Pacific Resources were kind enough to send him to energy classes. They have asked for his opinion on energy efficient products and systems.

Art Advisor for Pacific Resources She has worked on several large projects in the City. They have gone to the community and have chosen various types of art to be displayed at this site. Pacific Resources has done a lot to enforce art in the community.

Superintendent of Plant Construction He supports Pacific Resources and this proposal. He is a third generation San Franciscan. They are absolutely committed that their project is the better one. His association with Pacific Resources has been nothing but positive. It is an attractive design and will continue to revitalize the fourth street corridor.

Owner - Pribuss Engineers, Inc. (minority business) This project will provide jobs for the union labor force. He urges the commission to support this project to keep union construction labor active in the City.

Division Manager of City Park – Teamsters Local 665 He recommends that the project be approved. As a parking operator he has seen the improvements of the 4 th and Market streets. Having reviewed the plans of this proposal he is quite impressed with the project. The seismic retrofitting of St. Patrick's church is great.

San Franciscans for a Reasonable Growth and Local 2 The issues with this project are that the people who surround the project are against the development. Cole/Fox hardware will go out of business if this office development is approved. The neighbors of this site will be driven out of business or make it difficult for them to operate. This development will hurt the neighborhood.

South of Market Child Care, Inc. The developer has agreed to fees of relocating the childcare to 8 th and Howard Streets. Read a letter from a parent in support of the development since they will receive assistance for their relocation.

Manager of Pacific Resource PCX The project is in a difficult location. Creating more door entries/doorways would create a more open space look. $1 million of additional moneys for escrow fees. Their housing fees are higher than 185 Berry Street. The 1.5 million will go to the housing fund, to the traditional non-profit development for low-income housing. There will be no pre-leasing requirements.

This is some of the best architecture she's ever seen in San Francisco

traditionally a San Francisco building can be remodeled/reinforced by plywood. We don't necessarily have to tear down everything. I have a big family and I would like to provide them with housing.

We have different uses for the classrooms. As you are aware, originally in our project we labeled the classrooms genetically and we intend to use them for these purposes.

Shared her experience of how the church has helped her, especially during a recent surgery.

I speak in support of the project because space is needed for different purposes and groups at more convenient times. Help us to help the community.

Shared his experience of how the church has helped his family.

We are a community based church who wants to be a blessing to the community. [Shared her experience with neighbors and classes serving the neighborhood]

We value church settings that teach Christian education. We are serving the community and our classes go in groups by age. We need the space.

The church is a place for people to find love and compassion especially for newcomers in the Sunset neighborhood.

Shared her experience of how the church has helped her and her children.

I'm in support of the project and many neighbors and local businesses support it too. [Read a letter in support from a restaurant owner on Noriega Street.]

Traffic and parking is a problem in the City but the church encourages using public transit. Its members shop and eat out, which helps the local businesses.

This project is going to impact negatively the area with its existing traffic congestion and most of the congregation is not from the neighborhood. Ron Dudum There are concerns about traffic patterns and scales with regards to the residential area, and I am sure they can be mitigated.

There should be a study of the impacts that large buildings would have on our neighborhood.

I am here to answer any questions regarding the photo study submitted in connection with this matter.
