We want to update you on the lawsuit filed by FOGG and our twelve coalition partners.

This lawsuit, you will recall was filed against the City and County of San Francisco, SF Planning Commission, SF Port, SF Port Commission, San Francisco Waterfront Partners II, LLC; Pacific Waterfront Properties, and the California State Teachers Retirement System.

We are arguing that the Planning Commission’s endorsement of the Northeast Embarcadero Study and the Port Commission’s approval of the project term sheet together prejudiced the EIR process by essentially pre-approving the project.

A Supplemental Brief, filed by our Coalition attorney on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 is a strong and concise statement of the facts. FOGG urges everyone to read its contents.

You can read the Supplemental Brief at the Page link ‘Supplemental Brief October 2011′ on this website.

FOGG will continue its efforts to preserve the City’s only outdoor swim and tennis recreational center (GGT&SC) regardless of whether Judge Harold Kahn accepts the Brief argument. We are entering a very intensive period of effort as the developer is giving every indication of trying to move ahead with his proposal as quickly as possible.

This means our attorney, Sue Hestor and consultant Brad Paul will be in overdrive with our volunteers to ensure our success. There is much to do, and it is our intention to complete our mission.

It takes, as you are well aware, an ongoing commitment to raise money for this effort.

FOGG doesn’t have the luxury of dipping into the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) coffers, like Mr. Snellgrove, but we know we have thousands of concerned individual citizens on our team, many of whom continue to make tax deductible donations to save this jewel of a recreational center that provides so much to so many families, youngsters and seniors.

You can make a real difference NOW by sending in your tax deductible donation to Friends of Golden Gateway, P.O. Box 2294, San Francisco, CA 94126. Please make your checks out to PDF/FOGG, and on the memo line write “tax deductible donation”.

Or you can donate online by clicking on the ‘Donations to FOGG’ link on this website.

FOGG knows you will participate, and we thank you in advance for your support.

FOGG Alert – September 25, 2011

September 25th, 2011

The Bay Citizen has posted a story on their website about the proposed 8 Washington Street development. It will also appear in the Sunday, September 25, 2011 issue of the New York Times.

The article can be read at this link: Bay Citizen – 8 Washington Development

FOGG feels it short changes the importance of how the proposed development would impact the thousands of families, youngsters and seniors who use the City’s only outdoor swim and tennis recreational facility in San Francisco.

The article places too much emphasis on the politics and power brokers at City Hall without considering our neighbors and friends in the community.

FOGG urges everyone to read the article and will look forward to your comments.

FOGG Alert – September 22, 2011

September 22nd, 2011

This is an update on the lawsuit filed by FOGG and our twelve coalition partners that was heard Wednesday, September 21, 2011 by Superior Court Judge Harold E. Kahn.

We thank all those FOGG supporters who attended this hearing.

Susan Brandt-Hawley, our Coalition attorney, did a brilliant job in presenting the Coalition’s Brief. Judge Kahn, who had made a prior temporary decision before today’s hearing that would have denied our Coalition’s petition listened intently, and asked great questions.

Judge Kahn will now entertain a further Brief by Ms. Brandt-Hawley. This brief will be heard on Wednesday, October 5, 2011.

We will provide further details as they become available, and we remain optimistic as to the outcome.

As always, FOGG will continue the effort to preserve our Community’s outdoor recreational facility. We thank you for your continuing support.

FOGG Alert – September 20, 2011

September 19th, 2011

There has been a change of time for the Wednesday September 21, 2011 lawsuit hearing filed by FOGG and our twelve coalition partners.

The scheduled time had been 10:00am.

The new time is 1:30pm.

For those planning to attend, please note the time change.

The hearing will still be at the California Superior Court, 400 McAllister Street (at Polk), Courtroom 220, 2nd floor on the City Hall side, San Francisco, CA 94102.

We look forward to seeing you there.

FOGG Alert – September 15, 2011

September 14th, 2011

On Wednesday, September 21, 2011, the lawsuit filed by FOGG and our twelve coalition partners, will be heard by Judge Harold E. Kahn at 10:00 am. The hearing will be at the California Superior Court, 400 McAllister Street (at Polk), Courtroom 220, 2nd floor on the City Hall side, San Francisco, CA 94102.

You are welcome to attend and we encourage you to do so.

This lawsuit, you will recall was filed against the City and County of San Francisco, SF Planning Commission, SF Port, SF Port Commission, San Francisco Waterfront Partners II, LLC; Pacific Waterfront Properties, and the California State Teachers Retirement System.

We are arguing that the Planning Commission’s endorsement of the Northeast Embarcadero Study and the Port Commission’s approval of the project term sheet together prejudiced the EIR process by essentially per-approving the project.

You can read the Reply Brief in Support of Petition of Mandamus at the SF Waterfront Final Reply June 2011 link on this website.

This hearing is the first legal step in an effort not just to preserve the City’s only outdoor tennis and swimming recreational facility, but to move forward with the broader plan to greatly improve the Northeast Embarcadero neighborhood.

Led by AND (Asian Neighborhood Design), our Coalition; Friends of Golden Gateway (FOGG), Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association (BCNA), Golden Gateway Tenants Association (GGTA), & Telegraph Hill Dwellers (THD) have developed our own neighborhood Plan: “A Community Vision for San Francisco’s Northeast Waterfront.”

This Plan, prepared and researched for almost a year by AND with neighborhood volunteers is a positive and comprehensive vision of our Waterfront neighborhood, and the Embarcadero.

This vision balances revenue generating uses with open space and active recreation across all seawall lots and is a plan that is both financially and politically achievable. It is offered as an alternative to the NE Embarcadero Study prepared by the SF Planning Department which failed to achieve any consensus of acceptance by the neighborhood.

You can read the AND document at the Asian Neighborhood Design Community Vision link on this website.

Regardless of what the Judge’s initial decision is (and we are hopeful), FOGG will continue its many years of determined work to preserve our community’s open recreational space.

It takes more than the vigorous efforts of our FOGG volunteers, we also need the professional efforts of our attorney, Sue Hestor, and consultant, Brad Paul. Your tax deductible donations are vital.

You can make a real difference NOW by sending in your tax deductible donation to Friends of Golden Gateway, P.O. Box 2294, San Francisco, CA 94126. Please make your checks out to PDF/FOGG, and on the memo line write “tax deductible donation”.

Or you can donate online by clicking on the Donations to FOGG link on this website.

With your financial support we could end our many years of effort to save our recreational space in a positive and final manner for the thousands who care about the health and well-being of our families, youth and seniors.

FOGG Open Letter – August 23, 2011

August 23rd, 2011

FOGG is really pleased at the responses sent by over 50 supporters on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed 8 Washington Street/Seawall 351 project for luxury condominiums and a 420 space underground parking garage to be built on the GGTSC site.

The comments sent were concise, factual and covered all the key issues: Transportation, Height Limits, Shadows, Aesthetics, Parking, Sea Water Levels, America’s Cup Races Impact, Time of Construction, Luxury Condominium Need?, and most important the loss of the City’s Only Outdoor Pool and Tennis Court Recreation Center. The responses, when printed out, stand 2” high!!

We thank all of our FOGG supporters who took the time and effort to research the issues and submit these comments. They clearly show how united we are in preserving our open recreational space.

The Planning Department will need a great deal of time to review all this material and prepare responses before the Planning Commission can hold the next hearing on the comment phase.

We will alert you when we know the exact date of that important Commission meeting.

FOGG also thanks those who heeded our call for critical donations to support our efforts as we move forward to hopefully end this 8 year endeavor. It will take additional tax deductible funding to complete our task and preserve our community’s open recreational center.

FOGG’s attorney Sue Hestor and consultant Brad Paul, together with many volunteers are still hard at work in developing the needed strategies to complete our work.

We ask that you do what you can to help support FOGG and assure that the thousands of families, youngsters and seniors will still have an activity center for healthy recreation, and positive social activities. Any amount that you can contribute will help.

You can make a real difference NOW by sending in your tax deductible donation to Friends of Golden Gateway, P.O. Box 2294, San Francisco, CA 94126. Please make your checks out to PDF/FOGG, and on the memo line write “tax deductible donation”.

Or you can donate online by clicking on the ‘Donations to FOGG’ link on this website.

FOGG knows you will continue to provide the necessary means to assist us in winning this battle.

FOGG Alert – August 7, 2011

August 6th, 2011

FOGG thanks those who have already sent their emails/letters to the Planning Department critiquing the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on the luxury condominium and 420 space underground parking garage proposed to be built on the existing GGTSC site. For those who have not yet written, please see the following information. Read the rest of this entry »

FOGG Alert – August 1, 2011

August 1st, 2011

FOGG really appreciates the turnout of supporters at the July 21, 2011 SF Planning Commission hearing on the 8 Washington Street project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).

Our speakers were terrific. Their testimony was factual and said a great deal as to inaccuracies and holes in the DEIR. We owe a debt of gratitude to our attorney, Sue Hestor and FOGG consultant Brad Paul for researching and putting together much of the compelling testimony.

We feel the Commissioners paid attention to what our people had to say and took seriously our message – “KEEP THE COMMUNITY’S OPEN RECREATIONAL CENTER (GGT&SC) OPEN AND OPERATING WITHOUT TURNING IT INTO A SHADOW OF ITS PRESENT SELF!” Read the rest of this entry »

FOGG Memo – July 10, 2011

July 10th, 2011

We ask you to read this article published in the July 6-12, 2011 San Francisco Bay Guardian.

You can read at this link or read the article below:

Guardian Article

(FOGG Editor’s note: The proposed project would demolish the existing recreation center’s 9 tennis courts and 2 outdoor pools and replace them with 4 tennis courts and 2 pools on top of a building along the Embarcadero, not taking into account the wind factor or noise from traffic. Outdoor recreational space would be reduced by 52%).
