Response: Total compliance with the City guidelines is� difficult to achieve because a disproportionate amount of the site falls within BCDC jurisdiction. (Shoreline .frontage: 350 feet, street frontage: 130 feet). Compliance with BCDC guidelines reduces the area available to satisfy City guidelines. Despite this obstacle, the majority of City guidelines have been met, and where the guidelines have not been met, the deficiencies are slight. Overall, the site landscaping exceeds the City guideline by almost 40% (see Landscape Comparisons, 4/17/97). To mitigate for the slightly lesser area of frontage and parking lot landscaping the plan offers: specimen size trees planted at the street, turf planted from sod (instead of seed), the use of a majority of larger size container plantings and well thought out placement of plant material to maximize impact (see attached "Preliminary Planting Plan" dated 4/17/97). Issue: Was the alternative of a beach considered in lieu of the existing rip rap shoreline? Response: No. No alternatives that woulcl result in any modification to the existing shoreline were considered. The existing shoreline is outside of the property. Modifications would require the approval of their adjacent property owner. Any modifications to the existing shoreline would � trigger an extensive permitting process and result in delays that would � jeopardize the project. To provide a more complete response to this issue a schematic plan illustrating a possible beach was prepared (see attached "Beach Alternative" dated 4/18/97). Other concerns associated with the beach alternative are environmental impacts, the attractiveness of a beach in this location, and difficulties associated with breaching the existing rip rap levee including engineering and liability issues.

Encroachment: Beach encroaches on adjacent parcel. 2. Attract_ ivengg�: Aesthetic appeal of beach at this location is poor due to: • overhead high vbltage transmission lines • noise from freeway • mud flats • no wave action 3. Environmental lmpact: Degrades wetland habitat value by entouraging human use in environmentally sensitive area. ' 4. Permitting Hurdles: Permits would be difficult to obtain from BCDC, Corps of Engineers, Fish & Game, and Water Board because it would represent a substantial altemation to an existing body of water. 5. Engineering Hurdlg�: E3reach of Anza area dike presents substantial engineering challenges including Flood Control and liability issues. 6. Project Del�: Addition of a beach would delay project by a minimum of hvo years due to permitting, engineering, and construction difficulties.
