File Number: 16-192 <br />Pacific railroad tracks, and construction of concrete sidewalk along the entire San Leandro <br />Boulevard frontage of the facility. The original project also included the installation of a 350 <br />linear foot soundwall on the east side of San Leandro Boulevard from Hudson Lane north. <br />Unfortunately this wall could not be installed without acquisition of a three (3) foot easement <br />onto adjacent residential properties due to the discovery of a high voltage underground power <br />line at the public right-of-way property lines. The adjacent property owners declined the <br />installation of the soundwall because of the required encroachment and resulting loss of use <br />of a portion of their backyards. The City's Community Development Department has been <br />working with the developer to administratively exclude from the original Conditions of Approval <br />the soundwall installation from the project. <br />The incorporation of a traffic signal system at this intersection increases public safety and <br />improves the ability for delivery trucks to quickly get onto arterial roadways. These roadways <br />are designed and constructed to handle the type of loading associated with such trucks and <br />thus, local streets will experience little or no impact from the operations of the facility. With the <br />addition of fiber optic conduit and cables in this corridor, the City is now able to provide <br />internet access to more businesses and residents in the area in and adjacent to the public <br />improvements. Providers such as Lit San Leandro can utilize these conduits to extend their <br />services to interested businesses in this corridor. <br />Analysis <br />The public improvement work is complete and in compliance with the public improvement <br />agreement between the City and Chill Build. The City's Community Development Department <br />is working with the developer to remove of the installation of the soundwall from the <br />Conditions of Approval for the development.
