Mr. Thomas provided an overview and introduced members of Catellus. Sean Whiskeman provided a briefing. Mr. David Blair, MCG Architecture, provided a presentation. Board member Alvarez-Morroni asked about the landscape by Michael's wall. Mr. Whiskeman stated that wall line is on property line of Mariners Square Athletic club and there is no room.

Mr. Thomas stated there is extensive seating and landscape in former plans along with trash bins and the bike rack designs are in the process. Mr. Whiskeman reported they are working with Bike Alameda for design and locations. Vice President Henneberry asked about modifying the buildings at past meetings. Mr. Thomas stated they are right in the middle of the design process, but for tonight are the three priorities are Building G, designs for Buildings A and F. This was discussed at the subcommittee meetings. Board member Köster asked for understanding on the buildings facing inward as opposed to toward the streets. Mr. Thomas explained the goals of the retail center. Board member Knox White asked if there is a possibility for a door in Starbucks to the plaza. Mr. Whiskeman stated while working with Safeway there is no other way to have another opening onto the plaza unless its top to bottom curved glass, this is an operational issue. Board member Knox White reported being on the subcommittee that provided comments on the Building G concerns, and it would be great to find another plan. There was a good discussion on Building A, and Buildings B and C with a bit more variation. Vice President Henneberry asked about the door at Peets at Nob Hill which is an out only and asked if this option has been discussed with Safeway.
