He asked if the outer brick would stay in place. Ms. Krugmeier stated Littlejohn Park is across the street, and on site is a paseo, but the waterfront will be developed also. She reported the brick will be preserved. Board member Tang asked about a setback in the addition. Ms. Krugmeier stated there is an aesthetic element for balance. Board member Alvarez-Morroni asked about the seismic retrofit, brick down and then back up. Ms. Krugmeier replied the foundation is the big point of the retrofit work, and its an extensive plan to get the foundation work done. The brick wall can be supported in different ways. Board member Zuppan asked about the structure removal, below grade parking, and cutaways. Ms. Krugmeier reviewed the slide and showed what would be opened roof and what would be kept in place, and what would be replaced with new concrete. There will be 50 new openings to the outside. The thinking was there was so much foundation work to be done, so they thought of a way to better leverage the foundation work. Board member Zuppan asked if the only area open to the public would be the paseo. Ms. Krugmeier stated the open space paseo would create an indoor urban open air feel. Closing the building to public is an operations question. Vice President Henneberry he is glad to see the historic element being a priority. He asked about the 10,000 sq ft waterfront retail, and what kind of retail. Mr. Thomas stated the 10,000 sf is the total area.
