PRESIDIO TRUST
Notice To Extend Comment Period and Notice of Public Meeting
AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.
ACTION: Notice to extend comment period and notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of August 1, 2008 (73 FR 45092),
the Presidio Trust (Trust) extended the Environmental Protection Agency
calculated 45-day time period for public review of the Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to September 19,
2008. The previous deadline for comments was July 31, 2008. By this
notice, the Trust is (i) further extending the public comment period to
October 20, 2008, and (ii) in accordance with Sec. 103(c)(6) of the
Presidio Trust Act, 16 U.S.C. 460bb note, Title I of Public Law 104-
333, 110 Stat. 4097, as amended, and in accordance with the Trust's
bylaws, informing the public of a public meeting of the Trust Board of
Directors.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Trust is requesting public comment on the
Presidio Trust Management Plan (PTMP) Main Post Update Draft SEIS. The
Draft SEIS evaluates alternatives to the planning concept for the 120-
acre Main Post district at the Presidio of San Francisco identified in
the 2002 PTMP, the Trust's comprehensive land use plan and policy
framework. The Draft SEIS considers planning proposals that were not
anticipated in the PTMP, including a contemporary art museum and a
lodge, and identifies Alternative 2 as the proposed action, which is
further described in the Draft Main Post Update of the PTMP. By
extending the comment period, the Trust anticipates more in-depth
comments on the Draft SEIS that will promote a better-informed
decision. The Draft PTMP Main Post Update and Draft SEIS can be
reviewed at local libraries, at the Trust headquarters at 34 Graham
Street, San Francisco, CA 94129, and on the Trust Web site at http://
www.Presidio.gov in the Major Projects section. Although the time for
comments has been extended, the Trust requests that interested parties
provide comments as soon as possible.
The purposes of the public meeting are to provide an Executive
Director's report, to receive public comment at a second public meeting
of the Trust's Board of Directors on the Draft PTMP Main Post Update
and Draft SEIS, and to receive public comment on other matters in
accordance with the Trust's Public Outreach Policy. The meeting will be
held on Tuesday, October 14, 2008, at 6:30 p.m., at the Palace of Fine
Arts Theatre, 3301 Lyon Street, San Francisco, CA 94123.
Individuals requiring special accommodation at the public meeting,
such as needing a sign language interpreter, should contact Mollie
Matull at 415.561.5300 prior to October 7, 2008.
DATES: The public meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October
14, 2008. Written comments must be received by October 20, 2008.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre,
3301 Lyon Street, San Francisco, CA 94123. Written comments should be
