Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 19, 1993 Page - 17 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Council Member Corbett asked if this unit was occupied prior to 1984. Mr. Storer said it was habitable, but no one lived in it. He said it had a kitchen, heating, and sewer. He said the property is connected to the sewer, and the foundation is suitable for a second floor. He said continuous perimeter footing will carry the second floor when the foundation is reinforced in accordance with the Structural Engineer's specifications. Council Member Kerr said adding another non-conforming use does not necessarily help the situation. He said he is concerned about rebuilding the unit to Code standards. He said there is a lot of deterioration that needs to be rebuilt and asked if there are any plans yet. Mr. Storer said they will prepare plans if this is approved, and it will meet the Code. He said there is a sewer connection now. Council Member Perry asked if they would reuse the existing piers. Mr. Storer said they would reuse them and add new ones as well . He said the existing footprint will remain and riprap will be added. Council Member Myers noted they have to build to San Leandro's Building Code. Mayor Faria asked if they had talked to BCDC about any special requirements. Mr. Storer said BCDC will be requiring the riprap. Council Member Polvorosa asked if they plan to eliminate the existing garage. Mr. Storer said they wanted to retain it as an architectural feature. He said it is part of the Conditions that they leave the garage as a drive-thru. Council Member Nahm said he has a problem with just driving through the garage and leaving it as is. Mr. Storer said they will remodel it and make it aesthetically acceptable. He said they have already made arrangements to put the washer, dryer, and water heater into the house. Council Member Corbett asked how fire-fighting apparatus would have access to the back area. Mr. Storer said a fire truck can use the hydrant across the street and come down the driveway. He said the Fire Department says sprinklers are not necessary as long as the Fire Department can get access. Mr. Weisbrod pointed out that Condition IV.E. includes a requirement for planning review of the appearance and treatment of the garage and removal of both doors. Council Member Perry asked what would be the purpose and function of the garages and why not just have an open area. Mr. Storer said it would be for aesthetics and privacy for the rear home.
