Shoreline CAC <br />July 29, 2009 <br />Meeting Highlights <br />Page ~6 <br />Scott's and Kincaid's restaurants, and the Port and its 350 employees in its <br />headquarters building at Jack London have been the only mainstays. If the Port <br />cannot get people to come to Jack London Square and its conference center, <br />how will San Leandro do so? In addition, it is difficult to compete with San <br />Francisco and San Jose. If there are no boats and no attractions, there would <br />also be no one wanting to make an investment in the San Leandro shoreline <br />area. It was also pointed out that at the May 2008 Town Hall meetings there was <br />a consensus that the general public did not want to see residential development <br />on the shoreline property. <br />• The shoreline parks are good large size amenities for families and their children. <br />Launch fees will soon be imposed for boaters. The area near the boater's fueling <br />station is in need of partial dredging. <br />• It was recommended that there needs to be more than three future plans or ideas <br />for the shoreline area. There should be an alternative from PG&E that <br />incorporates some alternative means of energy and there should be an <br />alternative from East Bay Regional Park District to dedicate the opportunity area <br />in to parklands for the general public -perhaps like Oyster Bay Regional <br />Shoreline Park. <br />• It was recommended that the shoreline plans incorporate a nice shopping <br />environment for families so the disposable income for young couples and families <br />are spent at the shoreline and not in other communities. <br />Chairperson Myers adjourned the meeting at 9:10 p.m. <br />G:\OBD\Marina\CitizensAdvisoryCommittee\Meeting Notes\7-29-09Highlights_doc <br />
