Continued from the Council meeting of April 7, 1964, the Matter was called up with regard to the requested reclassification of certain properties on Central Avenue, Grand Street and Santa Clara Avenue - being specifically enumerated on the petition filed by Barron and Hartley, Contractors. It was requested that said property be rezoned from the "R -4 ", Neighborhood Apartment District, to the "R -5 ", General Apartment District. It was recalled that the Planning Board had recommended denial of this petition. The Clerk stated letters had been received from the following registering their opposition to the requested rezoning: Mr. and Mrs. Dan H. Laser, 1616 Central Avenue; Wilbur R. and Vera M. George, 1606 Santa Clara Avenue; Mrs. Miriam V. Flynn, 1434 Paru Street; Mrs. R. L. Thomson, 1425 Paru Street; Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Guptill, 1600 Central Avenue; Mr. and Mrs. Robert C.

It was also noted that several letters of protest against the proposed reclassification had been received at the Council meeting when the question was, originally presented. At this point, Mr. John F. Hanson, Jr., Attorney representing Barron and Hartley, stated this Hearing had been continued because certain other plans were in the process of being studied. He then asked that the Council consider the requested rezoning to be from the "R -4" to an "R -4 -PD" District, and . that the matter be referred back to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation in this respect. After an explanation by City Attorney Cunningham of the legal issue involved in the proposed change of the rezoning, the Hearing continued under the original petition - from "R -4" to "R -5" Districtp. Upon the call for proponents, the following spoke in favor of the Planning Board's recommendation to deny the petition to rezone these properties: Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Franklin, 1611 Santa Clara Avenue; G. N. Pope, 1820 Bay Street; Mrs. Marie Hansen, 1600 Santa Clara Avenue; Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lasar, 1616 Central Avenue; Mrs. Vera M.

Goldsmith, 1619 Santa Clara Avenue; Salvatore Spingola, 1405 Grand Street; George Springstead, 1604 Central Avenue. The principal objections expressed by each of the protestants against the requested rezoning were the increased density of the neighborhood by the proposed high -rise apartments, aggravation of the parking problem and the possibility of other, broader uses in the area. The President then called for the opponents to the question and Mr. John F. Hanson, Jr., spoke on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hartley, owners of the property on which the twenty -four -unit apartment house was proposed to be constructed. The "Hartleys" were present at the meeting. Mr. Hanson dis- played a large artist's drawing of the building, showing the type of structure contemplated and explained the plans for the development of the two large lots in question. There being no further speakers in the matter, the President declared the Hearing closed. However, for further clarification of the situation, Planning Director Johnson was called upon to present the thinking of the Planning Board and the Staff on the question. He pointed out the Staff had recommended approval of the requested rezoning but the Board had voted to recommend denial of the petition. After commenting on the question, Councilman La Croix moved the recommendation of the Planning Board be adopted and the petition for reclassification be denied. The motion was seconded by Councilman Freeman and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None.

The property was located at 1530 Lincoln Avenue. Upon request, Mr. Johnson reviewed the circumstances involved in this matter. He emphasized that this particular case pointed up the question of "gradation of density" in the several zones. It was developed that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to this condition was under considera- tion. Mr. Johnson also stressed the fact that this matter was not being handled by the proper procedure. The President then called for the proponents of the question - and Mr. G. N. Pope addressed the Coun- cil. Upon the call for the opponents, Mr. Jerry Campbell, Sales Manager of Palm Homes, Inc., spoke on behalf of the petitioner, pointing up that the proposed development of this lot would improve the neighborhood. There being no further speakers in the matter, the President declared the Hearing closed. Following some discussion of several aspects of the proposed structure, Councilman Freeman moved the decision of the Planning Board be reversed and the Appeal be granted to allow the variance. The motion was seconded by Councilman La Croix. Speaking on the question, there was some explanation of the thinking of the Councilmen with regard to their vote in this matter. The question was then put and the motion lost on the following vote. Ayes: Councilman Freeman and President Godfrey, (2). Noes: Councilmen La Croix, McCall and Rose, (3). Absent: None.

He explained that former Mayor Franz Collischonn had appointed a Sub- Committee of the City Council on February 5, 1963, comprised of Councilmen McCall and Godfrey to work on this project. The President explained that, because of the complexity of the project, the Committee, the City Staff and the Developers decided to study and present to the Council their recommendations in three steps; as follows: (1) Filling of the Developer's own land - and said Application to Fill was approved by the City Council some time ago; (2) Execution of Fill and Dredge Agreement on City -owned land and a License or Lease Agreement to use said City land for certain basic uses pertaining to what might be termed "water- recreation" and which would be specifically listed in the Agreement; (3) The building and leasing of additional facilities over and above the basic land -use as outlined - each of which would be completely subject to Council approval. The President stated that "Step No. 2" was before the Council at this meeting for its consideration. He remarked that each Councilman had received a copy of said Fill and Dredge Agreement, as well as the License Agreement. It had been recommended by the Sub - Committee, the City Manager, the City Attorney and the City Engineer that these documents be approved. President Godfrey stated that, in order to get the matter on the floor for action, he would move the Council approve the recommenda- tions and instruct the City Attorney to prepare an appropriate ordinance for introduction at the Council meeting of May 19, 1964, and also authorize the Staff to insert such technical and legal terms in the several documents as might be necessary. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCall. Speaking on the question, Councilman Freeman raised several inquiries concerning the dredge and fill operation.

Councilman McCall supplemented President Godfrey's remarks by pointing up the number of meetings which had been held in negotiation on this subject. He complimented all of the City officials and the staff from Bernhard & Associates who had been involved in working out this matter. He emphasized that he thought this would be of great benefit to the City of Alameda and he knew the people in the west end of the City were equally thrilled about this development. The question was then put and the motion carried on the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 24' Councilman Freeman stated she had noticed a plan of the Alameda Redevelopment Agency which showed that the Fire Station on Webb Avenue would no longer be in this location. She inquired if the City had plans to relocate this Fire Station in the event the Urban Renewal program went into effect. Mr. Weller commented that, as a practical matter, the City had been giving consideration to the pos- sibility of relocating this Fire Station to a more easterly and southerly section of the City. 25. Councilman Freeman referred to a Progress Report submitted by the City Manager as of February 8, 1960, in which many City projects were listed. She asked that Mr. Weller review this report and inform the Council what items had been accomplished and what projects still remained to be done.` Mr. Weller stated he thought everything had been completed which could be done without modification of the City Charter. He offered to check into the matter. 26. Councilman McCall inquired of the City Manager what the status was concerning the proposed Southern Crossing. This called forth a very lengthy discussion. City Engineer Hanna stated he had been studying the detailed report on this subject in order to be prepared to meet with Mr. Foley, Chief Engineer of the San Francisco Bay Toll Crossings, when future meetings were set up for informational purposes between the City and the State. Reference was made to the recent meeting of the City officials with certain State officials in Sacramento on this issue. After further discussion of the question whether or not the City of Alameda would be used as a terminus for the proposed San Francisco Bay Bridge crossing, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution for consideration by the Council at its meeting of May 19, in opposition to the.;use of the City of Alameda as a terminal for any proposed crossing of San Francisco Bay. 27. Councilman McCall referred to the Hearing before the City Council on Tuesday, May 12, 1964, in the matter of the Park Centre Project under the Urban Renewal program, and suggested the Councilmen might be interested in inspecting two communities in which redevelopment had taken place - (1) Mountain View, under private enterprise and (2) Sunnyvale, under a Redevelopment Agency. The cities of Santa Rosa and Fresno were also mentioned in this respect. N 28. Councilman McCall also spoke of the hazard prevailing on the Oakland side of the Posey Tube where the traffic pattern had confused motorists and, in some instances, they were driving on the wrong side of the street.
