• Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - October 4, 1993 Page - 13 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) In response to Council questions, Steve Mattas said the Conditions of Approval , the special review criteria and the GDP require that the applicant submit a PEA and the information be included and incorporated in the PDP. There is a separate Condition of Approval for after DTSC has made their determination, and when the Regional Board completes their review, if they have additional conditions, those will automatically become mitigation measures of the project. He said the City is imposing an additional condition that all remediation required by all agencies is required prior to issuance of building permits. Council Member Corbett asked a number of questions related to groundwater flow and testing. Dr. Dilio said DTSC requested that documentation be provided by the applicant to show that the information was there to document the groundwater flow rather than the intuitive argument. Council Member Corbett asked what specific testing was done to show the groundwater flow. Dr. Dilio said information existed in other documents that had been previously submitted and DISC asked to show them where that information existed. Terry McManus, HLA, said the information was originally presented in the PEA and clarified in the materials submitted to DTSC in response to that question. He said it was based on water level measurements from the monitoring wells, the hydraulic radiant and groundwater flow based on the wells, as well as additional background data. The Council asked if there was documentation of testing to indicate groundwater flow. Mr. McManus said there was for areas 2, 3, and 4 and the information was included in the material submitted to Michelle Rembaugh at DTSC on September 13, 1993. Douglas Perry, Union Publications, urged the Council to approve the project on the basis of planning and economic terms and since the EIR has already been approved. He said the project represents several hundred construction jobs for union people in this County, as well as new housing at an affordable. place. He said the project follows reasonable land use guidelines and provides reasonable park space and open space and the developer has shown due diligence. He said the project would be good for San Leandro, is consistent with the suburban character, is positive on a regional basis, doesn't involve costly extensions of water, sewers and roads, and is a more intensive use of existing public services such as BART and freeways.
