Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 3, 1992 Page - 10 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) He noted some minor modifications that would be made related to the bakery use and produce sales areas. He said an emergency generator would be installed, the trash compactor would be relocated, and an area of the parking lot that is now the site of public dumping of trash would be fenced off to eliminate this problem. He said all of the existing landscaping will be refurbished and replaced and Sav Mart will have its own security guards and its own maintenance company. He said during the Planning Commission Hearing Deacon Jow from the San Lorenzo Japanese Christian Church had expressed concern regarding liquor sales, security, and whether the Church would still be able to use parking at the site on Sundays. Mr. Weisbrod said only beer and wine would be sold at the store, Sav Mart would have its own security people on site at night so the area should be safer, and the Church would still be permitted to use 20 parking spaces on Sunday. He said the Planning Commission expressed concerns related to the proposal to paint the masonry-block building white and close off the windows, but the Applicant had agreed not to paint the building and to install a new facade with the company's logo. He said a Condition could be added so the windows would not be blocked by displays of goods. He said outside cart storage would be in a fenced area along the front of the building. Council Member Glaze asked if improvements had been proposed to the traffic circulation for the Greenhouse Market Place area. He said traffic circulation in and around the Market Place has been a problem for a number of years. He said there are conflicting stop signs and vehicles must meander through the Greenhouse Market Place parking lot to approach the subject site. Bill Algire, Engineering and Transportation Department Director, said Traffic Engineering had not reviewed the proposed traffic plan from this aspect, but he would take the matter back to the Traffic Engineering Section to review the circulation plan and to make any recommendations. Council Member Perry said she felt the Conditions of Approval for Greenhouse Market Place had been circumvented and traffic is worse all the time. She also asked if security at Greenhouse Market Place interfaced with the proposed security for the subject site. Mr. Weisbrod said the subject site would provide its own security people, who would not be part of Greenhouse Market Place. In response to a question from Council Member Corbett, Mr. Weisbrod said the Shopping Cart Ordinance had been explained to the Applicant, and he understood it would be his responsibility to gather his carts. Council Member Polvorosa said he wished to see some sort of Condition related to the windows so the windows would not be blocked by displays on the inside.
