Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 22, 1994 Page - 10 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) cross the traffic lanes and would make the area safer than it is currently. He said the type of ingress/egress gives clear access to the property. He said he tried to acquire the properties to the north, but the property owners do not want to sell and they do not want to be part of a master planning process. He described meetings with Floresta Homeowners' Association regarding traffic impacts and suggested modifications to the entrance made by TJKM Consultants, which included moving the first unit back and widening the driveway. He said Springlake Drive is a thoroughfare street and many people get off the Nimitz at Washington and take Springlake Drive to Hesperian to 237. He said Traffic and Engineering indicated Springlake/Washington would not go to a lower level of service but would stay at Level B. He said, at the request of Planning, he prepared a master plan; but the two adjacent property owners were not in favor of the project and do not want to see his property developed. They would like to see it remain as is. The City Council had further questions about traffic and how traffic would be controlled. Mr. Clevenger said the project would be completed in one phase. Council Member Kerr said he would prefer to see an entrance and exit on Ian Street. Mr. Clevenger said the Floresta Homeowners' Association opposed any access in that area. The City Clerk noted letters and petitions had been received from: 1 . Dennis Chin, 14947 Washington Avenue, dated February 14, 1994. 2. Alice Chin, 14947 Washington Avenue, dated February 14, 1994. 3. Lena Rabello, 14953 Washington Avenue, dated February 14, 1994. 4. Petition delivered to the City Clerk's Office on February 22, 1994, with 29 signatures. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Deana Shelby, 14967 Peninsula Street, said there are a lot of unsold properties in San Leandro. She said semi -trucks now make U-turns on her street and drive over her property and damage her sprinkler system. She said she is opposed to the project because of the increased traffic it will create. She said the mitigation was not adequate to solve the problems. She said the property should stay R-1 . She said Springlake Drive is not intended to be a thoroughfare and is a winding street. She noted that the U-turn/left-turn lane at Greenhouse Market Place is backed up just to enter into the shopping center. She said she is not in favor of PUD's because they cause problems for the neighborhoods because neighbors do not like to share.
