Excerpts of Board of Zoning . _ _, _ vents Special Meeting Minutes No. 2002-15 July 18, 2002 Page 4of 5 Member Eliason stated that she was a member of the Board in 1996 and the issues had not changed. Who owned the property was interesting, but had it nothing to do with the issue before the Board. She would support revocation of the Use Permit. Member Sidari stated that he was the other member of the Board in 1996 and asked if the City of San Leandro had the right to act on the use of the property. Planner Pollart stated that the Assessor's Office indicated that Albert Zeitz was the property owner. However, this property was within the city limits of the City of San Leandro. Assistant City Attorney Goldfien clarified that the property was within the City of San Leandro and was subject to compliance to the permit conditions issued by the City. Property ownership was not before the Board, as noted by Member Eliason. Member Sidari stated that, because no one within the City had monitored the site after 1997, the Board had to rely on the documents included in the staff report dated before 1997 and it seemed that nothing had changed. Planner Pollart stated that he was correct. When staff initially met with Ms. Saunders last year, the same issues were brought up, such as the request that the Applicant apply for a grading permit. There had been no response from the Applicant. Member Goldt stated that, when reviewing the documentation, the company's track record had not changed and continued as before. She mentioned environmental concerns that included a lot of dust in the area of the City that she represented. She would support revocation. Member Raposo stated that when he drove by the site the day before this hearing, "it was a mess." There was dust coming from Galbraith Golf Course and trucks were being loaded with very dry dirt. He saw no gate, as the Applicant mentioned, to close the site off. He agreed with the above comments made by his fellow Board Members. Member Grazzini felt torn. He applauded the Applicant's commitment to the community and his environmental concerns. However, nothing was said by the Applicant that addressed the reasons for the Board's review of the Use Permit. Planner Pollart stated that she would not be in attendance at the August 1, 2002, meeting. Member Sidari stated that, since he was one of the two Board Members who originally heard this item in 1996, he would like to be in attendance at the meeting when this item was decided. He would not attend the August 15`h meeting. After some discussion concerning the continuance date, it was decided to continue to August 1, 2002.
