Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - December 20, 1993 Page - 4 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) D. Jeff Houston, 1465 Burkhart Avenue, spoke on behalf of Toni Loveland, representing the Sierra Club, and the Club's letter of August 19th. He said she referred to that letter and added more comments, to which she requested a response. The response she received was that the City did not have a copy of her August 25th letter. She would like a response to that concern. Mr. Houston said his comments were about the potential for contamination in the slough and in the East Marsh. He said he supports this project but said, if contaminants are released, they will be a detriment to wildlife, and he feels there is a potential for contaminants. He said the City should make some tests. He said, if they continue with the project and there are contaminants, they will have exacerbated the problems, and they will become a burden on the taxpayers of San Leandro to clean up. E. Janice Delfino, Castro Valley, said she was concerned about the 50-foot buffer and said it should not contain a trail , fence or swale, but should be strictly a wildlife habitat. She said she assumed Fish and Wildlife did not have any of the documents from Citation or this would have come up. She asked what happens now that a Precise Development Plan has been approved. Mayor Faria referred to the City's response to comments which stated that, in case of development of Roberts' Landing, the developer would have to have Fish and Wildlife approval for the trail . F. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Lavern Drive, asked if the lessee in the Water Circulation and Drainage Plan would be the people of San Leandro and said the people should have the right to public debate on this matter. He asked how much of the land was donated by Citation Homes and asked if the this project could be done without that land. He said this situation is turning political , and the people of San Leandro should be making the decisions. 6. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
