Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 6, 1995 Page - 4 - 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS -- Lecture Hall A. Matter of Amendment to Master Plan of City Streets to Include Signal and Street Improvements to Davis Street Between I-880 and Doolittle Drive, Including Intersecting Streets. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Steve Emslie, Planning Manager, said the Planning Commission unanimously found the Amendment necessary to implement the Master Plan of City Streets. The Amendment adds the westerly portion of Davis Street into the Master Plan to allow revitalization of Westgate and the surrounding area. Gary Kruger, Transportation Administrator, said staff has been doing a comprehensive update of the Master Plan. Davis Street was named in the Plan as needing substantial improvements due to current and future delays. The consultant who worked up the Costco traffic impacts also prepared a comprehensive analysis of Davis Street, with and without Costco, and determined that improvements are needed, even without Costco. He said these Master Plan improvements do not include the right turn or driveway into Costco but will allow better bids by advertising this project now. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, asked how the work is funded and whether the money comes from the General Fund. Mr. Kruger explained Development Fees for Street Improvement funding and said those funds are completely independent from the General Fund and are collected from developers. Mr. Filipovich said the developers pass their costs on to property owners so the taxpayers eventually pay. He said this information should be clearly spelled out. Mayor Corbett pointed out that the staff report contains information regarding DFSI funding and is available for public review. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Loeffler, seconded by Council Member Myers, and carried by a majority vote (7) , the Public Hearing was closed. The following Resolution was than introduced: - Resolution No. 95-34, Resolution Amending the Master Plan of City Streets to Include Signal and Street Improvements to Davis Street Between 1-880 and Doolittle Drive, Including Intersecting Streets (provides for signal and street improvements on Davis Street) . (1428/1176) Introduced by Council Member Myers, who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Galvan, and carried by a majority vote (7) .
