MINUTES Page 4 City of San Leandro City Council, San Leandro Economic Development Agency, and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-September 4, 2007 Mayor Santos commented that the City Council may need to revisit its plan for undergrounding utilities, which was adopted in the 1980s. Councilmember Starosciak commented that there is an existing plan to modify a nearby section of W ashington Avenue, and she suggested that the City could achieve some economies of scale by performing the undergrounding of utilities for this project at the same time. Mr. Jermanis indicated that staff would look into accomplishing the undergrounding of utilities for the Greenhouse Market Place and Beatrice-to-Fargo entryway along with this project. Councilmember Starosciak inquired about the construction schedule. Ms. Barros indicated that the site has not been cleared due to a delay by PG&E in issuing clearance to remove and cap the gas lines. Councilmember Starosciak offered to write a letter to PG&E, explaining the urgency for performing work at the site. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Lou Filipovich, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting that this project does not benefit him or other senior citizens, and that the Council does not have enough detail to make an informed decision. Mr. Filipovich commented on the traffic around the project and asked how much redevelopment funding is being used. There being no further comments from the public, and without objection, the Public Hearing was closed. Vice Mayor Grant commented that the Council has approved tandem parking for several projects and asked whether tandem parking spaces are actually used. Ms. Barros indicated that the Conditions of Approval for this project require that the garages be used and that residents not use the guest spaces. · Resolution No. 2007-110, Resolution Approving Findings for Vesting Tentative Map Tract 7917, PLN2007-00036, 15101 Washington Avenue, Assessor's Parcel Number 80H-1515-008-02 (approves vesting tentative map to subdivide the subject property into a single-lot with 24 condominium units and common space, subject to the recommended conditions of approval).
