m To: McMahon Development Group Re: BAY SIDE BUSINESS CENTER My name is John Manuel and I represent The Marina Action Committee. Even though we did not have much time to prepare for this meeting, I will repeat comments that have been made to both the City of San Leandro Planning Commission and City Council. The anchor tenant at this beginning stage of development is most critical to all of us. We want the quality of future business attracted to the area to compliment the development not distract from it. Decisions for development are not just up to the Chamber of Commerce and other pro business organizations. Input must also come from the community which up to this meeting did not happen over all the months staff prepared their proposal for approval. We want participation in the process. Our problems with Fed Ex have been known by City officials for some time yet ignored - This has not been a cakewalk for any of us. There are some points our committee would like to make concerning Bayside Business Center. Please understand that any items discussed and accepted by the Developer would become ""Conditions of Approval" - would become a matter of public record and would follow the project through the City Planning/ Council process and also through development. There will come a time when the developer will leave the area and any problems created by the development will become our problem. 1) TRAFFIC IMPACT Davis Street is at critical mass now. No doubt about it - Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, Waste Management, etc. All of these contribute to pure hell for people who live in the surrounding area - Davis West, East Shore, Timothy_ , Warden, etc. Traffic light resequencing would help but is not a cure all. One must also ask why this problem with lights has been left unattended.
