Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 16, 1992 Page - 16 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Dwight Anderson, Representing Best Transport, Inc. , said Best is a subsidiary of a larger company which has an operation in Roseville. He said W. R. Grace is a customer of their mother company. He said they produce a non-hazardous, water-base lid liner for food products. He said they came by the Best site and changed some tires on a trailer that was having trouble. He said changing the tires was only a one- time matter on the way to a customer in Hayward from Davis Street and that they stopped in at the Best location because there is no longer a truck stop in San Leandro. Larry Norry, said he has numbers from placards on the tractor-trailer that the Fire Department indicated are hazardous materials and that this has happened three or four days in a row in the last couple of weeks. Ms. Jones, 2660 Williams Street, said she feels this is a time when we should be trying to keep people in work instead of putting them out of work. William Carrish, 13025 Neptune Drive, Representing San Leandrans for Reasonable Growth and the Shoreline Property Owners Association, said these groups are against the Appeal by Mr. Kerry. He said the last vote by the City Council showed it was all cut and dried. He noted recent referendums on Chabot Terrace and the City Financial Plan. He said things are changing in San Leandro, and he referred to a recall in Pacifica and said this could happen in San Leandro. Council Member Faria asked Mr. Carrish if he was in favor of any growth in San Leandro. Mr. Carrish said he was when the growth was reasonable. Mr. Carrish noted that a number of businesses have been hounded out of San Leandro and gave an example of the Cherry Pit. He also said Perk's Car Lot was forced to leave San Leandro. Bill Kerry, said many people in San Leandro appreciate everything the City Council has done and are proud of the City Council . There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Perry, seconded by Council Member Glaze, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. In response to questions by the City Council , Steve Meyers, City Attorney, said the only matter before the City Council was the Appeal of the zoning revocation. He said if the City Council wishes to consider rezoning the property they can direct the Planning Commission to prepare a Resolution of Intention. He said if they wished to do so he recommended they continue this matter until the Planning Commission recommendation is received.
