1 Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Page - 3 - November 17, 1997 Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, addressed the Council, stating he is neutral on this project. He questioned why the reclassification was needed. Staff responded that it is a rezoning, and it satisfies all zoning requirements except the front setback.

Ayes: 7; Noes: 0 Mayor Corbett reopened the Public Hearing to allow one, additional person to speak. Roger Ravenstad, 738 Chetland Road, addressed the Council, stating that the Planned Development is a substantial improvement to the site. He expressed concern with the sill that is being proposed, indicating it is foam. He would propose a Condition be added that any sills below 10 feet should be concrete, wood, or anything other than foam, due to the possibility of persons leaning against it and causing it to deteriorate. Council discussion ensued regarding the foam materials proposed, and it was noted there would be a five-foot setback, which would be landscaped. Concern was expressed that five feet would not keep persons from leaning on the building. Council Member Young suggested a Condition be added requiring maintenance of the exterior, should deterioration occur. She also clarified ingress and egress from the project and indicated the left turn out of the project shoul d be reviewed, as i t coul d be a safety issue. Mayor Corbett clarified that the lighting in the parking lot would most likely be flood-type lighting and was assured the lighting issue will be reviewed in detail with the Planning and Engineering Departments. There being no further comments from the public, the Public Hearing was closed. M/S/C Polvorosa and Loeffler. Ayes: 7; Noes: 0
