Councilmember deHaan stated that the Grand Street bridge has no structural impact other than the guardrail; inquired whether the guardrail would be included in the scope of work. The Public Works Director responded in the affirmative; stated work would include preventative maintenance of exposed concrete. Regular Meeting 2 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 Councilmember deHaan stated newspaper articles have addressed the current situation with the Minneapolis bridges; requested information on the condition of Alameda bridges and the Tube. The Public Works Director stated Alameda bridges and the Tube are not unsafe; CalTrans completed the Webster Street and Posey Tube retrofitting in 2003; the retrofitting brought both tubes to a "no collapse" standard, which means that the tubes would not collapse in the event of an 8.0 earthquake on the Hayward Fault; service is not guaranteed; the Park Street, Fruitvale Avenue and High Street bridges are maintained by the County; retrofitting is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2009; efforts are being made to secure funding for a lifeline for the Fruitvale Avenue bridge; the Bay Farm Island bridge was retrofitted by the State in 1998; currently, the Ballena Boulevard bridge is being seismically retrofitted; a federal grant is providing 90% funding; hopefully, a State grant will provide the other 100. Councilmember deHaan stated that he is concerned that the bridges and the Tube might not be the City's lifeline and would not provide a connection to the mainland, Oakland and the rest of the East Bay. Vice Mayor Tam requested clarification on: 1) the process that CalTrans uses to rate a bridge deficient, 2) the ratings of the Park Street, Fruitvale Avenue, and High Street bridges, and 3) the frequency of bridge inspections. The Public Works Director responded the bridges are inspected every two years; stated the rating is based on several different factors; the High Street Bridge is rated 46.4 on a rating of one to a hundred. Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether below 50 is deficient. The Public Works Director responded below 50 is considered structurally deficient but does not mean the bridge is unsafe to travel; stated Alameda bridges score low because detour length is one of the major rating indices; decking, approach, and lane width are considered; structurally, the High Street bridge is in very good condition. Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether the foundation is inspected, to which the Public Works Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson inquired what is the rating for the other bridges. The Public Works Director responded the Park Street bridge is 67.8, Regular Meeting 3 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 the Fruitvale Avenue bridge is 68.6, and the Grand Street bridge is 93.6. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the bridges are structurally similar. The Public Works Director responded that he would research the issue. Mayor Johnson stated that the matter should continually be reviewed; California is making investments in infrastructure; people need to understand the consequences of neglecting infrastructure; inquired whether improvements would include making the Grand Street bridge more attractive over the water. The Public Works Director responded the railing would be replaced; stated one bid would be for replacing the railing in kind, which would require keeping the cyclone fence; another bid would be for a higher railing, which would allow the cyclone fence to be removed. Mayor Johnson stated that some Oakland bridges are much more attractive [than Alameda's]; railings should be safe but also attractive; the public should be able to view the waterways. Councilmember Matarrese stated the 112th Street Dam in Oakland has the same railing height as the Grand Street bridge but does not have a cyclone fence; requested a report on bridge ratings for structural integrity and what needs to be done to ensure Alameda bridges are structurally sound. Mayor Johnson requested that landscaping be reviewed to ensure that lagoon views are not blocked. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Tam seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4.

Introduced. Regular Meeting 4 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 Councilmember deHaan inquired whether additional parking space access is being considered. The Development Services Director responded the parking study would make a lot of different recommendations; stated parking is an issue of quantity and more importantly, location. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether monthly parking would be available, to which the Development Services Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Park Street Business Association (PSBR) would perform the coordination. The Development Services Director responded that PSBR would coordinate and manage the parking lot. Mayor Johnson inquired whether twelve parking spaces would be added, to which the Development Services Director responded in the affirmative.

Councilmember Matarrese stated tandem parking should be considered to increase the number of spaces. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the parking lot surface is adequate. The Public Works Coordinator responded not at this moment. Robb Ratto, PSBR, stated twelve people have been identified to sign a one -year contract with PSBR for a designated parking space at $80 per month; the lot would be surveyed; thirteen spaces would generate $1,040 per month and would cover the monthly cost in addition to paying PSBR $40 for administration; $960 would be generated from twelve spaces; PSBR Board of Directors approved Regular Meeting Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 covering the remaining $40 per month; the issue can reviewed after a year. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the spaces would be available to the public in the evenings and weekends.

Opponents (Not in favor of Appeal) : Deborah Kartiganer, Cassidy, Shimko, Dawson, Kawakami; Mike Corbitt, Alameda Towne Centre. There being no further speakers, Mayor Johnson closed the public portion of the hearing. Mayor Johnson stated the public is concerned with the loss of the Chevron Gas Station at the former South Shore Center; the Planning Board requested that a gas station be located at the Alameda Towne Centre; previously, four different gas stations were located at the former South Shore Center. Councilmember deHaan stated the highest retail leakage has come from the loss of gas and service stations; the proposed gas station is similar to the Nob Hill high- volume, discount gas station; the public is concerned with the Otis Street corridor; Alameda Towne Center is approximately 60% full and would be impacted further as the Town Centre grows; a mitigation requirement addressed installation of a signal at a future date; the location is not the best for the future; the intersection would become very active; the Otis Street corridor serves the shopping center and traffic through the island; he understands the community's continued concern; he is not happy with the location; the number of tankers has not been confirmed; larger tanks should be considered. Councilmember Matarrese stated Safeway provided a range for tanker movement; inquired whether said range changed. Todd Paradise, Safeway Real Estate Manager, Fuel Center Northern California Division, responded strategy is consistent across all markets; stated options include street pricing and a three -cent [per gallon] discount for card holders; one delivery is expected per day; the conditions of approval limit the delivery time. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether tank capacity could be increased. Regular Meeting 7 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 Mr. Paradise responded the proposed site would be a blending site; stated blending would be done at the pump. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether it would be fair to say that the proposed site would be a high- volume discount station, to which Mr. Paradise responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the proposed station would be similar to the Nob Hill station. Mr. Paradise responded that he is not aware of the average volume for Nob Hill stations; stated he thinks of Costco in terms of a high- volume gas station; the current Nob Hill pricing is most likely promotional. Councilmember deHaan inquired how many tankers are delivered to the Dublin Safeway gas station. Mr. Paradise responded said station could have one and a half to two deliveries per day. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the proposed gas station would go over one tanker per day. Mr. Paradise responded marketing research indicates the station would receive one tanker per day. Councilmember deHaan requested verification on the delivery hours. Deborah Kartiganer, Cassidy, Shimko, Dawson, Kawakami, stated the conditions of approval state that Safeway would not have trucks delivered to the site between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the weekdays and between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on weekends. Councilmember deHaan inquired when trucks are moved normally. Mr. Paradise responded trucks are moved twenty -four hours per day; stated a load of fuel only leaves a terminal full for safety reasons; larger tanks provide a greater window [for delivery]. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether one of the mitigating factors was to signal the intersection. The Supervising Planner responded in the affirmative; stated a traffic signal would be installed at the Trader Joe's driveway into the shopping center; the exit would be right turn only from the gas Regular Meeting 8 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 station onto Otis Drive; a mitigation measure requires monitoring of traffic flow for three to five years; the Applicant would need to turn traffic into a one -way flow through the gas station from the shopping center and back out to Otis Drive if there is a problem with cars backing out into Otis Drive and interfering with traffic; Omni Means felt that the driveway would flow fine without vehicles cueing out into Otis Drive. Councilmember deHaan inquired what would be the cost for a signal at the intersection, to which the Supervising Planner responded approximately $300,000 to $350,000. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Safeway would be contributing to the funding. The Supervising Planner responded Safeway's contribution would be based on the pro -rated share of traffic going through the intersection; stated the amount would depend on build out. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether said contribution is in the agreement. The Supervising Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the pro rated contribution is approximately 100 of the total trips at the intersection. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the rest [of the funding] would be contributed by the shopping center. The Supervising Planner responded the shopping center is not required to contribute anything at this point; stated Safeway would contribute to the traffic signal cost if expansion is approved. Vice Mayor Tam left the dais at 9:02 p.m. and returned at 9:04 p.m. Mayor Johnson inquired whether allocations were set. The Supervising Planner responded a new traffic signal was required at the corner of Otis Drive and Park Street in 2003 when the proposed shopping center expansion went through the Planning Board; stated the shopping center contributed whatever their portion was at that time. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether said requirement was in writing; stated the requirement would be triggered when the threshold is met because of the gas station or the shopping center Regular Meeting Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 regardless of the additional square footage. The Supervising Planner responded the traffic study looked at all three scenarios; stated the left turn movement out of the shopping center onto Otis Drive during rush hour would fail the threshold using the City's threshold of significance under cumulative conditions in 2025; the gas station would be contributing to a significant impact at the intersection. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the project [Safeway Gas Station] would require a signal without consideration of future expansion. The Supervising Planner responded the threshold would be triggered within the next twenty years when the project is considered with other projects have been approved but not built, including the 112,000 square foot shopping center expansion approved by the Planning Board a couple of years ago, other projects such as the Chinese Christian School, and population growth of a half a percent per year; stated the threshold would not be met with the project [Safeway Gas Station] alone. Councilmember Matarrese stated that new information has not been provided since the last Call for Review; a bio- diesel blend would be available; different fueling options will need to be considered in the next twenty years; the developer has done a great job in bringing quality stores to Alameda Towne Center; the proposed site is preferable to the previous gas station location. Councilmember Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution denying the Appeal and Upholding the Planning Board's Approval of Planned Development Amendment PDA05 -0001, Major Design Review DR05 -0010, and Use Permits UP06 -0003 and UP06 -0014. Mayor Johnson stated that she is not aware of another gas station that provides bio- diesel in Alameda; many people are enthusiastic about the gas station. Vice Mayor Tam seconded the motion. Under discussion, Vice Mayor Tam stated that she is very comfortable with the Planning Board's and community's thorough vetting of conditions placed on the project; the gas station would be an asset to the neighborhood; the City Council received a petition with 3,000 signatures supporting the replacement of a gas station in 2002 and 2003. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following Regular Meeting 1 Alameda City Council August 7, 2007 voice vote: Ayes: Councilmember Matarrese, Vice Mayor Tam, and Mayor Johnson - 3.

Dan Lachman, ADC Executive Director, stated all necessary agreements have been completed between ADC and Habitat for Humanities; the project has taken longer than expected; Habitat for Humanities would be playing the role of co- developer and general contractor. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether ownership guidelines have been developed, to which Mr. Lachman responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether Habitat for Humanities' guidelines would be used. Mr. Lachman responded Habitat for Humanities has selected four households that would be involved in the self -help portion; ADC would be selecting two moderate and two low- income buyers; a lottery would be conducted.
