Ayes: 6; Noes: 0; Absent: 1 (Young) 8.D. Resolution No. 2005-045, Resolution Approving Final Subdivision Map, Subdivision Improvement Agreement, Stormwater Treatment Measures Maintenance Agreement, Hold Harmless, Indemnification, and Maintenance Release for Alameda County, and Acceptance of Dedication of Public Utility and Storm Drain Easements for Tract 7452 on a Vacant Parcel Located at 1057 MacArthur Boulevard; Developer: Hennigan Construction, Inc. [provides for development of nine (9) residential lots and one (1) retail lot on an approximate 0.9 acre site on MacArthur Boulevard]. (3005) Public Comments on Item 8.D.: Lou Filipovich, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council regarding stormwater, City Council and School District boundaries and District 4 representation of Heron Bay and Washington Manor. End of Public Comments Councilmember Starosciak asked why there is a need to add the stormwater treatment unit and whether it is unique to this project. Mr. Jermanis responded that over the last five or so years, the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board has become more involved in water run-off and its treatment. The City is operating under a permit granted to Alameda County and works with the County to ensure that run-off water is adequately treated. Recent housing developments have all required a means of filtering run-off water. A treatment system is required to be installed for this project, and the plan is to install a filtering system which will trap particulates from run-off before it reaches San Leandro Creek. Mr. Jermanis noted that while the filtering system is required by law, replacing the filters will place an additional burden on the City's Public Works Department for which there is no funding source. He indicated that any proj ect comprising one acre or more currently requires this type of filtering system, and the requirement may be imposed on parcels of as little as 10,000 square feet in the future. Mr. J ermanis commented that these requirements are creating a significant impact on cities. M/S/C Stephens and Santos. Ayes: 6; Noes: 0; Absent: 1 (Young) 10. ACTION ITEMS Public comments are limited to 3 minutes per speaker per item, subject to adjustment by the Mayor.
