Synopsis of this letter was read for aud.iencebenefit- Porice report dated 2/9/7I stated no negative factors weredeveloped during investigation of Mr. Carrasco. I4r. Roy Costa, Redwood City, vice-president of Carrasco Inc. waspresent as Mr. Carrascors representative.

Horn of Carr, Mcle11an,Ingersoll, Thomp.son & Horn, representing Mrs. Weaver on a voluntarybasis. Letter detailed project and listed changes mad.e in plan inresponse to objections. Council also received eight letteri fromCity residents, various dates, regarding the project. Vice Mayor Crosby announced that this would be a pubtic hearing onthis appeal, and requested comment from the City planner. The City Planner reviewed his report to Council, stating thePlanning Commiss ion had voted 6 - I to deny this special permiton the main issue of unsuitability of use in this R-l- area. Otherkey issues were traffic, and parking. City pl_anner noted these aredebatable points. Mr. Albert J. Horn was present as Mrs. Weaverr s representative.Councilman Amstrup questioned him if this was exactly the same projectas considered by the Planning Commission. Mr. Horn affirmed it wainot, and stated it would seem appropriate that this plan be referred B7 back to the Planning Commission for further study and recolunendationto Council. He thought this project would be found total]y consistentwith the use of an R-1 area; and added he was not sure legally that apermit would be required to have this garden. Councilman Amstrup objected to the fact that when appeals are made to Council on Planning Commission denidl plans which are presented to Counci] are often changed from the original in response to objections. He thought this plan and other such plans should be referred. back tothe Planning Commission for review instead of being heard by Cor:nci1. Other members of Council concurred. Vice Mayor Crosby, again noting this is a public hearj-ng, requestedpublic comment on the question of whether or not this should go backto the Planning Commission. There was no comnent and the public hearing was declared closed. Vice Mayor Crosby received confirmation that the next meeting of the Planning Commission would be February 27, 1979. The City Planner noted, however, there woufd not be tj-me to send out notices for that meeting. City Attorney stated he thought this would not have to be noticed. City Planner then stated it would be put before the Planning Commission at the meeting of February 27, 1978. Vice l4ayor Crosby announced to the members of the audience interested in the Weaver qarden that they should be sure to be at the Planning Commission meeting of February 27, 1978. Council discussed establishing a firm nolicy of referring changedprojects back to the Planning Commission and City Attorney conmented that this acti.on tonight would establish a precedent. COMMTIN I CAT IONS 1. BEN C. LAWSON, 11OO ROSEDALE AVENUE, ET AI, CONCERNING SEWER SYSTEM PROBLEM. Council received letter of 2/LL/78 from Ben C. Lawson, 1100 Rosedale Avenue, complaining of problem of sewer overflow in the area of Rosedale and California Drive which occurs durinqr storms and which, Mr.. Lawson stated, has existed since 1965. Letter noted cornmunication from City staff which indicated this problem was part of a 5-year capital improvement program. Mr. Lawson voiced frustration with the fact of no immediate solution. Attached was list with 21 signatures of neighborhood people endorsing Mr. Laritson I s letter. City Manager's memo of 2/16/78 to Council suggested Mr. invited to Council study session which will investigate improvement program and the sewer system, Lawson bethe capital Mr. Lawson addressed Councj-I and again voiced frustration with no solution to neighborhootl problems of toilet backup and lawns flooded with sewer debris. At the request of Vice Mayor Crosby, Director of Public Works explained that the 5-year capital improvement program on the sewer system started with a Council directed study in 1976. Program could be started next year but will be a step by step process for this $1 ,000,000+ project. Fundinq source must be decided by Council from possibte sources of sewer rate revenue bond, a fu1l general obligation bond to come before the voters, use of reserves, or other funds. In response to questions from Councilman Martin on what could be an interim solution on this problem, Director of Public Works stated that check valves installed in the street would he1p. This would not stop the overflow, but would keep it j-n the street. Check valves could be instal1ed at an approxi nate cost of $200.00 each. The Councilman asked that cost be j-nvestigated, and if it was relatively minor, the check valves could be put in at the Cityrs expense. This, e Councilman Martin moved that this revised project be referred backto the Planning Commission. Second by Counci lman Amstrup, carried unanimously. BB \"/hile not a permanent solution, would alleviate part of the problem. Councj-lman Amstrup askeil what the basic problem was with sewers in the City. Director of Public Works explained that many City mains are old, in need of repl-acement or repair. When it rains, ground water infiltrates the mains in the higher areas such as Ray Park. As the mains come down to lower land, the infiltration increases so as to overload the mains, resulting in overflow. There are two solutions:repair or replace sewer mains and lateral-s; increase capacj-ty of mains downstream. In the Rosedale- Cal i fornia area this would cost well over $r00, 000. Councilman Mangini suggested that larger mains be installed down be]ow as a first step, so that lowl-and peopl-e could be helped.Director of Public Works stated that this would mean replacing existing mains with mains without knowing how much infiltration upstream coul-d be eliminated. He suggested upstream infiltration becorrected, then mains could be designed to handle the f1ow. Vice Mayor Crosby noted that the Pub1ic l{orks Department had run smoke and TV tests on City mains, and questi-oned what they were. Healso asked. if there were any other solutions than check valves forthe people in this particular area. Director of Public Worksexplained how these tests $rere run, and again stated that even if a new main were put in this area it would stilI back up untj-l all theinfiltration probl-ems were corrected.. If new mains were instal]edfirst, the City vrould have to reconstruct the whole system from thepumping station on back, and the cost would. be about 9700,000 to $1,000,000. Council-man Martin commented that the sewage plant also has a problemwith infiltration and effluent isn't good. He thought that untilthe infiltration was stopped the problem would not definitely be solved. As budget chairman, Councifman Amstrup addressed the audience. Hepointed out the fact that the total sewer project is over $2,000,000.The City does not have money in reserve for this program and it mustbe funded a f fe ctedthe possi would begoing to he assure by bi1 by havdr The City's budget and capital improvements will be vitally what happens on the Jarvis Gann bill in June. He suggestedity of another \,/ay to finance sewer improvements, whicha sewer users' charge. He emphasized that the City ise problems with money and capital improvements. However,he audience of the Councilrs desire to help them in thej-rproblems and, if possible, to find a temporary solution while workingon the permanent program. City Manager informed Council would be before Council in the that the Capital Improvement program the point where funding will be S-year pro j ect. next few ri/eeks, and the City is at discussed and priorities set for this After further Council d.iscussion, Vice Mayor Crosby invited Mr. Lawson and his neighbors to attend the Council study session on thecapital- improvement program. They r4rere instructed to leave names and addresses with the City Manager so that he could notify them of thedate of this meeting. In response to question from Councifman Amstrup, Director of Public Works verified that work would be startedon the check valves. Vice Mayor Crosby read l-etter of 2/2/78 from the Burlingame SchoolDistrict advising their intention to setl Cootiigte School, andoffering this property for saLe to the City for park and recreational During the course of lengthy Council discussion, the following people al-so stated their problems with sewer oveflow and asked for immediateattentions J. M. Rosenblatt, 1108 Rosedale and Georqina Barnes, 1235 Balboa. Mr. Lawson also objected to waiting 3 - 5 years for asofution. There was some audj-ence remark that peopte should not paytaxes if this situation were not corrected. 2. BURLINGzuIE SCHOOL DISTRICT: A.NNOI]NCEMENT OF INTENTION TO SELL COOLIDGE SCHOOL ?

KEYSTON FOR ANZA SHAREHOTDERS I LIQUIDATING TRUST PROPOSING IMPROVEMENTS AT AVIS SITE AND AD.JACENT PROPERTY Letter of 2/8/78 from Anza Shareholders Liquidating Trust advised Council that because of flooding on Avis property that company is willing to take out their back fence along the Bay and install a berm. This berm would be 10' wide and approximately 3' high behind the Avis property 1ine. Bicycle-pedestrian path would be installed on top of the berm and then the rear fence would be reinstalled. Anza suggested that if this project were combined with a simil-ar berm on the property to the north problems of flooiling woufd be alleviated. It was -uggested that the City make application to BCDC, after which Anza and Avis woulcl share the cost of constructing and installing this facility. Council and staff discussed who should make BCDC application. Mr. David Keyston told Council- that another solution for the flooding would be to build a much smaller berm for which no BCDC application need be mad.e. However, this would not accommodate the City's desired bike path. He suqrgested j-t woul-d be easier for the City to make application since BCDC \"rouId rather deal with other agencies. In res- ponse to Council- questions, he stated he would be willing to go ahead with the Avis berm even if it were not comlci-ned with the other berm, providing he had permission from the property owner to put a berm perpendicular. He would see that the bike path tied into the one on the South. Council indicated approval of this project, but City Attorney pointed out that design and cost fj-gures should be worked out before the application is made. Mr. Keyston stated Anza would aid in the design and it should be completed within 2 - 3 weeks. Vice Mayor Crosby directed Mr. Keyston to work \,/i th staff and come back to Council when desj-gn and cost estimates are completed. STAFF I\,1E}4ORANDA ]..

He noted they are not considering the whole project but the 100' area of their jurisdiction, with their principal interest that of maximum public access. He reviewed the items they considered. were no major objections at the hearing, and he thought their ultimate vote would be favorable. that There 1. AUTHORIZING E)GCI}TION OF AGREEMENT WITH SAN ERANCISCO AIRPORT MOTEL COMPANY This resolution with attached agreement was transmitted to Council- by City Attorney's memo of 2/L6/78 which also attached a form of grant deed which would be conveyed by the Anza Trust to the hotel for the l-00 spaces of parking. In the memo I the City Attorney commented that these parcels are presently being used for parking under a permit expiring in August of 1978. The Planning Commission will have before it at its next meeting a request for permanent parking permit for this and other parcels. Cyrus J. McMittan addressed Council as representative of the San Francisco Airport Motel Company. He stated he had conferred with the City Attorney in preparing this agreement, and to the best of his knowledge all of the conditions imposed by Council had been met. He specified the inclusion of the easement for roadway purposes if the City relocates Airport Boulevardi the 25 year retention period; the payment of $70,000 for signalizationi and an offsite location for 100 parking spaces to be conveyed to the Sheraton by deed. Heidentified the site of the parking as that which is now occupied by the auction car parking. Vice Mayor Crosby commented he up $/ith everything Council had thought the Sheraton people had come asked for. There was Counci 1 comnent that r,rhi Ie the Fi-nance Director hail made an excellent report, the l-atter part of it reflects his personal opinion anil does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the City official-s. The Fj-nance Dj-rector commented that he had attempted to be purely factual, but as he had considered the financial impact he realized that the danger of this bill was the power to control revenues, and he had expressed his personaL concern that spending power should reside as closely as possible with the people. In response to Council question, he explained hj-s impression of the method of apportionment of funds to "districts" which he thought would include the cities. RE SOLUT I ONS 6 Councilman Martin objected that if this parking is authorized by theCity it will mean that they are authorizing a permit to park in C-4 ad infinitum. Just because the land is there, it does not meanparking should be approved in C-4. He thought there should be a title report on this parking area, and he suggested that the Sheraton be asked to find a parking area somewhere e1se. Vice Mayor Crosby asked what his objection was to parking j-n C-4, Councilman Martin replied that the C-4 land had better use than to serve as parking. From a monetary standpoint the City gets nothingout of this valuable land. The City has other land that is not this vaIuable. Councilman Martin replied that if the parking \"/e re put in some otherp1ace, the 200 room addition could still be bui1t. Mr. McMillansaid that the minutes at the time of the hearing on this additionindj-cate that the 100 spaces would be on Anza land. It was the conditionof the Council that there be 100 spaces available and that there bean irrevocabl-e agreement for them. If this area is to serve itspurpose, it should be in reasonable proximity to the hotel. Anythingwithin this territory i-s also C-4. He added that he had a title reportto this parking area in his office. It is not State 1and. Cor:ncilman Amstrup commented. that he did not think this the best use of land either. He suggested that thj-s matter be put overto the next full Council meeting. Councilman Martin added that the City should not di-saoprove the useof such land for a park and fIy operation on one hand, and aporove itfor parking on the other. He thought this was inconsistent. Councilman Mangini commented that this is a permanent parking 1otfor the Sheraton hotel. It is not for park and f1y. He asked Counci lman Martin if that would not make a difference. CouncilmanMartin replied it would not. Mr. McMillan repeated that sheraton is trying to meet theand difficult conditions that the Council had imposed. Hethat they had met them, s t ringentoointed out Councilman Mangini stated he thought that they had livedeverything the Council had specified. He suggested thisput off to a ful1 Council- meetj-ng on March 6, 1978. up to hearing be Since there was no objection from Council or Mr. McMillan, Vice MayorCrosby announced that the hearing would be continued to the meetingof March 6.
