Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 2, 1990 Page - 8 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Bob Leigh, President of Washington Homeowners Association, said the Association has met with staff and with Homestead and that Homestead has really tried to meet their concerns and make this project work. He said areas of concern to the Association were traffic on Manor and through the residential area, the wall proposed to be adjacent to Mission Bay, the entrance to Mission Bay and the ingress and egress, and concern regarding the loss of the baseball field. He noted discussions that had been held regarding alternative sites for a baseball field and said consideration should be given to a multi-use field to include soccer. Carolyn Green, 47 Santa Monica, a resident of Mission Bay, said everyone has been very cooperative in this project and thanked the City Council for understanding the problems the Mission Bay residents are anticipating. She suggested the units adjacent to Mission Bay should be one story because that area is at a higher elevation than Mission Bay already. Teresa Glaze, 15211 Harden Street, said she feels traffic from this project will have a major impact on the Washington Manor area, and many school children will be crossing Wicks Boulevard. She said she was concerned and felt the school district would be forced to do something in the area because of the increase in school children resulting from the project. Kathleen Renkerts, 15560 Calgary, said she is also concerned about the need for traffic control for children crossing busy streets. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Suchman, seconded by Council Member Santos and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. Council Member Glaze asked Mr. Milliken if Homestead Land Development Company would be willing to add the following to the Conditions of Approval : (1) Contribution of $35,000 in cash or services for an off-site ball field. (2) The donation of open space at the courtyard outside of the proposed community center. (3) Paying a percentage of the costs for a traffic signal for traffic impact at Lewelling/Wicks or at Mission Bay. (4) Either lower-height homes or no windows on the homes adjacent to Mission Bay. (5) Whether Homestead Land Development Company would be willing let alumni of Marina High School go through the high school properties for a final reunion prior to demolition. In general , Mr. Milliken said that Homestead would be willing to study some of these matters and respond after additional consideration. •
