Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 15, 1996 Page - 3 - PRESENTATIONS (continued) D. Bob Leigh, Washington Manor Homeowners' Association, congratulated the City for supporting the Marina Community Center. He presented a check for $1,200 from the Washington Manor Homeowners' Association for purchase of a new lectern for the center. Mayor Corbett thanked the Association for their support of this and other community projects. 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments are limited to 5 minutes per person. The public is invited to make any comments related to Agenda items (including San Leandro Redevelopment Agency, San Leandro Parking Authority, and San Leandro Industrial Development Authority) or other items of public interest at this time. Comments regarding Public Hearing items will be heard during the Public Hearing portion of the Agenda. A. Audrey Albers, 2037 Marina Court, said her garbage bill does not reflect a decrease. Mayor Corbett said an explanation would be provided later in the meeting. Ms. Albers said San Leandro's rates were compared to other jurisdictions, but she felt San Leandro's rates should be cheaper rates because residents are bothered by noise and dust. She said the Conditional Use Permit states that any proposed substantial expansion of the service area shall be subject to review by the Board of Zoning Adjustments, and the transfer station accepts trash from other counties, which is a substantial expansion of service. She said this increases traffic, dust, and noise. She thinks there are other conditions in the Conditional Use that have not been abided by. • Mayor Corbett said the issue came before the Board of Zoning Adjustments recently. Steve Emslie, Planning Manager, said the BZA held a public hearing and approved modification to the 1978 use permit to allow refuse to be brought from outside the service area based on an environmental review and traffic study by staff, which found the change would not result in any impact. He said accepting garbage from outside the service area does not exceed capacity as originally required in 1978. B. Larry Norry, 2532 Williams Street, President of Mulford Gardens Homeowners' Association, also commented regarding recycling costs and said his bill does not reflect any savings. He said he is concerned regarding extra traffic related to garbage, and he did not receive notice of the BZA meeting. C. Martin Francis invited the City Council to attend the Flag Day Ceremony.
