Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 2, 1994 Page - 13 - <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) <br /> Scott Grubbs, 13475 Bancroft Avenue, said the San Leandro Historical <br /> Railroad Depot is graffitied every four months. He said the former <br /> Mayor had stressed that the Zoning Plan is a living document. He <br /> pointed out there is more than 100 feet from the wall to the traffic <br /> lane, so people cannot see fine-line distinctions on the mural . He <br /> said the mural should be approved. <br /> George Vakenburg, 510 Castro Street, said his bedroom overlooks the <br /> mural , and it is a beautiful sight. He said the Planning Commission <br /> violated the laws because Mrs. Campbell contacted the Commission in <br /> September and it took two months for her to receive an answer. He said <br /> the Planning Commission wanted the new zoning law to go into effect so <br /> they could dictate what could and could not be done. <br /> Al Rosenga, 534 Parrott Street, President of Peralta Citizens <br /> Association, said he spent four years working on the Zoning Code, and <br /> there were a number of public review sessions, and none of these people <br /> got involved at that time. He said they have done something in <br /> violation of the rules and regulations of the City and now want a slap <br /> on the hand. He said the U.S. Constitution provides for freedom of <br /> speech, but it also provides for the right of enjoyment of property and <br /> neighborhood. He said he did not feel March was the only time <br /> something could have been painted, and he doesn't think the graffiti <br /> coating will work. He said the main issue is violation of the law. <br /> Lynn Curtis, Orinda, Past-President of the San Francisco Women Artists <br /> and a recent Board Member, said the group serves all of the nine Bay <br /> Area counties. She said this was a creative solution to combat <br /> graffiti and find an expressive way to deal with a constant problem. <br /> Mrs. Campbell asked the SFWA to sponsor the event because this was <br /> their 100th Anniversary; and, when they discussed it in September, Mrs. <br /> Campbell contacted the City but went ahead with the mural , feeling she <br /> had the right to proceed because no one informed her there were any <br /> regulations against it. She said it takes a lot of time to organize a <br /> project of this type, and they did not understand there would be <br /> objections. She said just because one neighbor did not like it, it was <br /> not approved. <br /> Lee Gardner, 935-B Haight Street, San Francisco, former President of <br /> SFWA, said it is hard to get a number of artists together. She said <br /> she was surprised the Planning Commission did not make it clear to Mrs. <br /> Campbell that there was an ordinance in effect that would hamper the <br /> project. She said Mrs. Campbell was not told about this ordinance <br /> until well after she discussed the issue with the Commission. She said <br /> Mrs. Campbell was surprised when the Planning Commission did not <br /> approve the project, but Mrs. Campbell did not intend to violate the <br /> ordinance. She thought it did -not pertain to her project. <br />
