Staff responded that <br />amendment can be brought back to the Council at a later date. <br />Council Member Lothrop announced she will be abstaining from discussion <br />and/or action on this item as she resides in the subject area. <br />The Hearing was then opened to the public. <br />Ralph Renholtz, 2035 Eveleth Avenue, addressed the Council, expressing <br />concerns regarding noise from loud speakers from the proposed used car <br />lot; stated he could not understand how an automobile agency would <br />beautify an area; expressed concerns with potential traffic problems; <br />and said vacant lots tend to be used for storage facilities until <br />development occurs. He would like to see the Council commit to having <br />the weeds removed from the two lots between Eveleth Avenue and Pacific <br />Avenue that have been a problem for some time. He concluded by stating <br />street signs are missing from Marina Boulevard and Eveleth Avenue. <br />The City Manager explained the issue of noise in the neighborhood was <br />addressed when the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) was put <br />together on the automobile agency property. They have indicated they do <br />not use a loud-speaker system to contact their employees. <br />Al Rosenga, 534 Parrott Street, addressed the Council, stating the <br />section of Marina Boulevard between San Leandro Boulevard and Washington <br />Avenue should have been excluded from the Overlay area. <br />
