This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Norm Weisbrod, Associate Planner, gave the staff report. He said the application is for six, two-story buildings, each with four, two-bedroom condominium units, for a total of 24 units. The City Council asked if there are other projects in San Leandro with shared garages; Mr. Weisbrod said there are. Mr. Weisbrod noted that, under the new Zoning Code, this Planned Development would be handled as one action for both the General and Precise Development Plan. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Peter Shutts, architect for the Spinardi 's, the developers, discussed the shared garages and said they had been designed as shared facilities to meet ADA standards related to possible purchase by handicapped persons. He said the garages will have individual storage units which can be locked. He discussed exit turns onto San Leandro Boulevard from the project and said they plan on installing a "Right Turn Only" sign. In response to questions regarding the possibility of installing removable walls between the garage units, Mr. Shutts said there would be concerns regarding damage, creation of a physical barrier which would hinder the ability to open car doors, and the cost. He noted windows are not required in the garage as fire exits because there are mandoors which can be opened from the inside without a key. Michelle Berntson, 20 Begier Avenue, said there should be a handicapped parking space in the garage for visitors who are handicapped. Al Rosenga, 534 Parrott Street, representing the Peralta Citizens Association, said the only solution to the garage doors appears to be individual doors for each stall . He said the shared garage becomes an issue between buyers and sellers. He said the garages could be redesigned to provide handicapped access. He questioned the location of the storage bins and said they would impede access.
