Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - January 4, 1993 Page - 12 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Council Member Kerr said he is concerned that there may be many more of these types of Applications and asked if this would be detrimental to the neighborhood. Mr. Penaranda said the density would remain the same for any other Applications, so he did not see any detriment to the neighborhood. He said this is a single-lot subdivision. . He said there is a perception that this divides the parcel into three, small lots; however, he said, in fact, this will remain a single, 15,040-square- foot lot, and the three owners of the three units will share ownership of the lot. Council Member Kerr asked who would administer the CC&R's. Mr. Penaranda said a homeowners' association will be created. In response to questions, he said the driveway would be removed and replaced because it is in poor condition and causes drainage problems. The fence will also be modified to match the existing fencing. Council Member Kerr asked if any successor in interests would be required to conform to the Conditions and how he would be notified. He said he was concerned that Condition I .B. says that the Applicant would inform buyers and said the wording was unclear. It was pointed out that the CC&R's would be recorded and that is how the information would be passed on to any successors. In response to questions from Council Member Perry, Mr. Penaranda pointed out where the seven parking spaces would be located on the property. He said the only construction work would be the concrete work, the modifications to the fence and the mailbox, and the insulation to meet the condominium noise requirement. In response to questions from Mayor Karp, Mr. Penaranda said the lot is 15,040 square feet and there are three units. He said the Zoning Code provides that a single-family home in front and a two-family unit in the rear can be built on lots in the 0 zone which exceed 14,000 square feet. Dale Hansen, 2291 West Avenue 133rd, the Applicant, said the duplex unit was built in 1985, and each unit is 1 ,200 square feet. He said all of the work was done with permits. He said the carport was built in 1984, also with permits. He said some people have the misconception that the proposal is for a lot split. He said he thinks owner occupants will take better care of property. He said many people could not afford to buy the house and the duplex, but they may be able to afford a condominium. He said he feels the area is deteriorating because of renters and may get into an absentee-owner situation. Mr. Hansen said he agrees with all of the Conditions imposed by the Planning Commission and said the Fire Department has checked the site for adequate access.
