Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 20, 1992 Page - 20 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) C. Matter of Condemnation of Property Located at 1701 Marina Boulevard, 2550 Merced Street, and 1735 Fairway Drive (Lucky Stores) for Aladdin Avenue/Fairway Drive Overcrossing Project. Continued from the April 6, 1992, City Council Meeting. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Rob Caughell , Engineering and Transportation Department, said this matter had been continued from the April 6, 1992, City Council Meeting. He said the property is part of the Lucky Stores Distribution Center and is needed for the Aladdin Avenue/Fairway Drive Overcrossing Project. He said this is the last, major piece of property to be acquired for the project. He said a number of offers have been made. He said it is necessary to proceed with Eminent Domain Proceedings in order not to delay the project. He said the Resolution gives the City Attorney the authority to proceed with Eminent Domain. He described the size and locations of each strip of property to be included in Eminent Domain Proceedings. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, asked if Lucky's objected to the Eminent Domain Proceedings. He asked if the parcels were being negotiated for individually or as a whole. Mr. Caughell said the reason the City is undertaking Eminent Domain Proceedings is because it takes a long time to get through the corporate offices of Lucky's. Mr. Meyers said he thinks this matter will be resolved with Lucky's before it goes to court. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Polvorosa, seconded by Council Member Faria, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Meyers noted the City Council has now had a number of Hearings and meetings regarding Measure B and asked that the City Council incorporate all prior Hearings and discussions into this matter.
