Board Member Lynch commented on Ms. Krase's point regarding some of the structures that were not on the list for preservation. Mr. Phil Tagami replied by saying that they might not agree on all the buildings that should be kept for reuse or preservation. However, they need to do what is best for the overall project and instead of considering each individual building, they need to keep the whole project moving forward on schedule so that it stays economically feasible. Mr. Tagami and Mr. Kelliher gave a PowerPoint presentation of their preliminary concept plan for Alameda Point. The presentation addressed several aspects of the development, such as housing, open space, future businesses, potential retail, jobs, transportation and historic preservation.
