Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - November 19, 1990 Page - 8 - r PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) He said the Conditions of Approval require that the Springlake Drive driveway be reviewed in six months and, if considered a hazard, the applicant would • be required to remove it and install new curbs, gutters, sidewalks and landscaping. Council Member Perry also asked questions related to provisions for on-site loading and unloading and the impact on on-site traffic circulation. Mr. Weisbrod said unloading is done by the tenants themselves in their own vans, with an occasional UPS-van delivery. Council Member Perry expressed her concern about the types of uses that would occupy the building and related parking requirements. Mr. Weisbrod indicated that certain other uses, such as a restaurant or a convenience store, would require conditional - use approval . • Council Member Corbett asked additional questions regarding the location of the Springlake Drive entrance and how vehicles would be prohibited from using r- it as an exit, parking ratios, the types of tenants that would occupy the center, and the amount of pedestrian traffic that would be generated from Lakeside Village.

He also said he was aware of the City Council ' s concerns about the Springlake Drive driveway from the previous application, but the driveway on Springlake Drive is critical to the center. He said he felt a review of the driveway in six months would serve the City Council 's purpose. He also noted that the square footage of this project is less dense than the last proposal for the site. Council Member Perry asked whether the applicant would consider installing spikes in the Springlake Drive driveway to prevent its use as an exit. She also asked what criteria would be used to determine whether the driveway was a hazard. City Attorney Steve Meyers said the Traffic Engineer had already established criteria in two areas: (1) a review of the accident history related to the driveway, and (2) any problems with a continuous backup of traffic on Springlake Drive related to use of the driveway.
