Those <br />steps included reinstalling the tire spikes to prevent two way traffic from the complex <br />onto Harold Avenue; issuing a letter to all complex tenants asking them to refrain <br />from any activity which might disturb the Harold Avenue residents (including that <br />noted in the petition); and issuing a letter to all the petitioners and each resident of <br />Harold Avenue, inviting them to contact Mr. Sullivan or one of the manager's of the <br />complex if there were any further problems. (The mediator's conclusions regarding <br />the negotiations are presented in a memo dated June 30, 1996.) <br />By letter of June 6, 1996, the petitioners indicated that while they appreciated <br />Mr. Sullivan's efforts, they remained unsatisfied with the situation. They therefore <br />asked the City to proceed with their request that the approval be reconsidered. <br />PROCEDURAL HISTORY OF CITY'S MODIFICATION <br />A petition signed by 59 residents of Harold Avenue and dated February 26, <br />1996 seeking reconsideration and/or revocation of the Approval was received by the <br />City of San Leandro. The residents cited problems with traffic, speeding, impacted <br />on -street parking, littering and illicit activity in their petition. Following mediation of <br />the problem between petitioners and Mr. Sullivan, petitioners continued to find the <br />situation unsatisfactory and requested that the Council move forward with its <br />reconsideration of the permit. <br />5 <br />
