Comments regarding Public Hearing items will be heard during the <br /> Public Hearing portion of the Agenda. <br /> A. Susan Riskind-Poulsen, 182 Sunnyside Drive, presented a letter <br /> requesting that multifamily residential zoning use in the N-2 District <br /> of East 14th Street be changed from a permitted to a conditional use to <br /> stabilize the existing residential communities and provide residents <br /> the opportunity to have input. <br /> B. Betsy Venters, 555 East 14th Street, San Leandro Citizens Against Abuse <br /> of Eminent Domain, said the Council approved eminent domain despite <br /> opposition at two meetings. She said the public was told there were no <br /> plans, but Lloyd Wise said he had been working with the City. She <br /> asked what protection the properties on Linton would have from lights <br /> and announcements; would there be a sound wall . She asked if Lloyd <br /> Wise would be given a variance for the large sign on the freeway, when <br /> other businesses can't get such variances. <br /> C. Sig Ulland, 1600 Grand Avenue, Owner of Businesses on Dutton Avenue, <br /> Member of Citizens Against Eminent Domain, said the City failed to <br /> notify property owners in the Marina Faire area of eminent domain <br /> proceedings. He said the City Council acts as if it's an approved <br /> voice of the community, but that is not true. He said the City Council <br /> replaces small viable businesses with large businesses. He suggested <br /> litigation by both parties and referred to the Hawaiian Housing <br /> Authority vs Metcalf case. <br />
