Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 21, 1993 Page - 20 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Council Member Kerr asked if having a 10:00 p.m. closing would help with the gang problem. Mr. Vitello said it would not. He said the earlier it closed the worse it would be. Council Member Corbett asked if there were any problems with loitering in the parking lot now. Mr. Vitello said there were, and there are cars that park in front of his house and go to Copeland's Sports now. He said there is no problem with people loitering in the evenings. Rick Kislingbury, Representing Halcyon-Foothill Homeowners Association, said he owns a business on Hesperian Boulevard next to the 7-11 . He said there was a meeting at 5:30 this evening, attended by himself, Mr. Vitello, Mr. Boyer, Mrs. and Mrs. Fazio, Mr. Lowell , and Mr. Mundy. He said the biggest concern was with traffic. He said the fact that only right turns are permitted in and out will create U-turns at Grace and Hesperian and at Hesperian and Halcyon. He said trash is also a problem. He said there is currently a lot of trash from the 7-11 . He said he went to the Doolittle-Marina Taco Bell and displayed a bag of trash he had picked up within 200 feet of the facility and submitted a number of pictures he had taken of trash in that area. He said he would like to see a review process because then the City Council could be advised of any problems. He said perhaps nine months would be a better time period. He said the developers said they want to work with the community, but he would like to see a little teeth in it from the City Council . He said he also wants to see the matter of loitering addressed. He said he is concerned there would be crime and security problems with groups of teens. He said there should be a review process, and it should be related to traffic, loitering, and trash. Mayor Faria asked if "No U-Turn" signs would help. Mr. Kislingbury said they would not. He said 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. is a peak time period, and people would make U-turns whether there were signs or not. Council Member Polvorosa asked if a Condition could be added requiring a chain-link fence across the driveways when the center was not in operation. Steve Meyers said this is a modification of a Planned Development for this use only. He said there are other uses at the site, and a chain-link fence might affect other tenants or prevent future tenants from moving in. Council Member Corbett asked if there were any bus stops in the area. Mr. Vitello said there were bus stops, but they were down near the railroad tracks.
