Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 19, 1993 Page - 11 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) have their meeting and then bring the matter back to the City Council . He asked if the land owner was present and noted the land owner had no objection. Mr. Walker suggested that, since the Civil Engineer and Soils Engineer were at the Council meeting, they be permitted to make their presentation. Mayor Karp said they should have met with the homeowners first. Mr. Walker said they met with most of the homeowners, but it was not a group meeting. Mayor Karp said it should be a group meeting. The City Council concurred. Mayor Karp noted tonight' s meeting was not a Public Hearing and asked how long the developer would need. Mr. Walker said 30 days would be excellent. Council Member Faria said his concern has always been certification of the Negative Declaration. He said he did not know if meeting with the neighbors would clarify his problem with the certification. He said it is difficult for him to vote to certify the Negative Declaration because the documentation is not sufficient enough for him to vote for it. Steve Meyers, City Attorney, suggested those comments be directed to the Engineering staff because they are recommending that the lot split will not have a potential for a significant effect on the environment and a Negative Declaration is appropriate. He said, if Council Member Faria did not feel he had sufficient information to come to that conclusion, staff needed to provide additional information or Council Member Faria would have to vote against the Negative Declaration. Mayor Karp suggested the matter come back under a Public Hearing. Council Member Perry said she had questions regarding items in the engineering report, such as the crib-type wall , unsupported sloping at 50%, grading at 35%, etc. She said she cannot get satisfactory information from the materials provided, and the photographs are not available. She said she would like an opportunity to get more technical information. Council Member Corbett said her main questions concerned the movement of soil itself and said she would like more information on that.
