Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 15, 1995 Page - 5 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) V. Barbara Shockley, 1890 Bockman Road, San Lorenzo, said the marshland dedication was the beginning of a long process to reclaim marshland. She said development of the Roberts Landing site is inappropriate and incompatible with the marshland restoration and is the wrong site for housing due to access and the possibility of bay mud movement due to an earthquake. She said the site should remain as marshland or a stormwater runoff site. W. Jim Spears, 16042 Via Camaro, Board of Directors of San Lorenzo Homeowners Association, presented a letter and said the Association had not been notified of the Roberts Landing agenda item. He said they opposed the project because of the traffic it would generate on Grant Avenue. Staff explained the process for Mr. Spears and the Association to be placed on the City Council agenda mailing list. The City Council explained that the project will not connect with Grant Avenue and will not impact traffic on that street. X. Lisa Cooper, 15111 Washington Avenue, spoke regarding assistance with housing expenses. Ms. Cooper was referred to the Community Relations Representative. Y. Sabrina Vasquez, 13242 Doolittle Drive, spoke in favor of skateboarding and requested that the City Council consider permitting skateboarding at the Wells Fargo parking lot in the evenings and on Sundays. She said the lot is not used at those times. She said skateboarding keeps youth off the streets and out of trouble. Z. City Attorney Steve Meyers discussed the use of speaker cards and Brown Act requirements. He said the City uses the cards for the convenience of the Council and the public and is in compliance with the Brown Act. 6.
