Subject: Alameda Theater Parking Garage North Elevation to be discussed at tonight's CIC
meeting
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:
have reviewed the banner options for the Alameda Theater Parking Garage
north wall as presented in the staff report for tonight's CIC meeting.
believe that the banners are too small to adequately mitigate the sloped
ramps. Additional options that should be considered include:
1. Provide larger banners or panels that cover at least the north
wall's three center bays (covering all of the bays would be preferable). The
columns might be left exposed to provide compositional interest and
contribute to a sense of verticality. The panels could present some kind of
architectural trompe d'oil treatment that could show a series of building
facades that are architecturally compatible with the garage's west elevation
and with the neighboring Civic Center structures (Carnegie Building, City
Hall, etc.). See attached trompe d'oil facade I recently saw in Sori, Italy
(near Genova) that include imitation as well as real windows. About half the
buildings in Sori have trompe d'oil treatments.
2. Provide grilled panels with solid spandrels to hide the sloped
ramps. The panels could be made of Dryvit (styrofoam covered with a stucco
film) or similar lightweight material and be preassembled before
installation. See attached image.
3. Provide a solid row of dense, closely spaced evergreen trees that
will grow tall quickly, such as coast redwood.
4. Plant evergreen vines, such as creeping fig, at the base of the
north elevation. This will probably be less satisfactory than Option 3,
since the vines will probably take more time to cover the wall than would
redwood trees.
Landscaping options 3 and 4 should be considered in combination with
architectural options 1 and 2. All of these options could be pursued as part
of a separate contract and could be implemented AFTER completion of the

garage. This would allow competitive bidding to help keep costs down and
allow time to find additional funds, if necessary.
As I have previously stated, the best option is to construct another
building against the parking garage's north wall on the Long's parking lot
site that would hide the north wall. This could include an addition to the
parking garage with a suitable architectural treatment on a new north wall.
It is unfortunate that Long's does not appear interested in considering
development options for their parking lot.
Please call me at 523 -0411 if you would like to discuss these comments.
Sincerely,
Christopher Buckley

Notice of Pending Collection Action — Property Lien
Dear Property Owner:
An account with Alameda County Industries (ACI) for integrated waste management (IWM)
services, for property owned by you, is now seriously past due. Since 1996, the City has held
property owners responsible for delinquent accounts that are unpaid by their tenant. This letter is
to request your immediate payment of the past due amount.
The State Public Resources Code and Health and Safety Code require proper disposal of all
refuse and discards. To maintain these required public health standards, the City of Alameda's
Solid Waste and Recycling Ordinance requires all residential and commercial properties to
receive and pay for IWM services, as provided by the City's franchise hauler, ACI.
On April 19, 2007, ACI, in accordance with their Franchise Agreement, assigned all delinquent
IwM accounts to the City for collection after having made at least four (4) attempts to collect the
outstanding balance on this account. ACI's records indicate that you were notified of the unpaid
balance on your account and no attempt to pay any portion of the past due amount has been
made. The City regrets having to take further action.
This letter is to request immediate payment of the past due account. The amount now due is
$575.83, for your property located at 735 Taylor Avenue. If you would like to clear this matter
up now, so that further legal action will not be taken, your payment must be received no later
than 5:00 PM, July 17, 2007. Please bring a certified cashiers check or money order made out to
the "City of Alameda" in the amount indicated in this letter to:
