President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing. The Interim City Manager explained the background of the matter. On the call for proponents, there were none. On the call for opponents, the following spoke: Stephen Britnhall, Harbor Bay Isle Associates, 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway President Corica inquired if Mr. Brimhall believed it was all right to begin work without permits. Mr. Brimhall responded that it is a matter of working with the May 3, 1988 131 City, bringing jobs to the City and increasing the tax base; it delays tenant improvement construction which loses business, and as Alameda is the only city requiring such penalties, it causes a major impact on the ability to do business. Councilmember Camicia requested Mr. Brimhall give him a specific example of where he would begin a project without a permit, to which Mr. Brimhall responded that it would be mostly on tenant improvements; if there is additional delay in tenant improvement construction, they will not be competitive in the market place, and neighboring cities will take business away from Alameda. President Corica inquired if other cities do not have penalties or if it is just the quadruple that is being referred to. Mr. Brimhall replied that none have any penalties except Milpitas which is $150 and in San Francisco a $50 penalty may be paid for what is called an expedited processing. Councilmember Camicia inquired if staff is aware of other cities that charge quadruple fees, to which the Public Works Director responded any City adopting the Uniform Building Code has double permit penalty fees as it is built into the Code; developers must commit to tenants in a short period of time to compete; the problem of proceeding is that sometimes changes must be made, which causes considerable extra workload; has surveyed cities and noted Alameda is competitive in processing permits for tenant improvements; there are alternative methods, and staff is trying to enforce compliance so that work need not be redone. Councilmember Haugner inquired if most of these permits are by developers or by other people. The Public Works Director responded that penalties occur a small percentage of the time with people who do not realize they need permits, but most occurrences are with tenant improvements. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the recommendation [to quadruple the Permit Fees for all work commenced prior to the issuance of the appropriate permits.) Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Councilmember Haugner made a motion to take the related ordinance out of order. Councilmember Camicia seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-307 Ordinance No. N.S. "Amending Title V, Section 5-152, of the Alameda Municipal Code; Section 4 of Ordinance No. 2250; and Section 304(e)2 of the Uniform Building Code providing quadruple penalties for working without permits." Introduced. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to introduce the ordinance. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. May 3, 1988 132 88-308 Consideration of vacating portions of a sanitary sewer easement and an electrical easement located within Tract 5716 in the Alameda Marina Village Development. President Corica explained the procedure of the meeting. The Public Works Director explained the subject of the hearing. On the call for proponents, there were none. On the call for opponents, there were none. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to accept the recommendation [to order vacation of said portions of subject easements.] Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to take the related resolution out of order. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-309 Resolution No. 11463 "Ordering vacation of portions of a Sanitary Sewer Easement and an Electrical Easement located within Tract 5716 in the Alameda Marina Village Development." Adopted. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-310 Consideration of Rezoning R-88-1 and Initial Study, IS-88-1, 627 Pacific Avenue. (Applicant: Shito Sakai) President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing. The Planning Director explained the background of the matter. The public portion of the hearing was opened. On the call for proponents, the following spoke: Charles Henrikson, 621 Pacific Avenue, (for Shito Sakai) On the call for opponents, there were none. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Councilmember Camicia moved the recommendation [that Council approve the Negative Declaration, and approve Rezoning]. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion. Councilmember Thomas made a procedural objection to the Planning Board's hearing of the Initial Study and the Negative Declaration under what is in effect a Consent Calendar of the Planning Board and not discussed, the motion was for the Initial Study and does not believe it should be done in this manner in the future. May 3, 1988 The Planning Director explained that the Planning Board has items on calendar for approval without discussion, a procedure generated several years ago with clearance by the City Attorney; when using this procedure, the audience and Planning Board are polled to see if there is anyone who wishes to speak, and if so, it is heard in its regular course. The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to take the related ordinance out of order. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-311 Ordinance No. , N.S. "Reclassifying and rezoning of certain property within the City of Alameda by amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1277, N.S. Applicant: Shito Sakai, R-88-1; the lot located at 627 Pacific Avenue." Introduced. Councilmember Camicia made a motion to adopt the resolution. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. APPEALS 88-312 Consideration of Appeal of Planning Board decision regarding Conditions 4 and 5 of Planned Development Amendment PDA-87-6. (Harbor Bay Isle Associates) President Corica explained the procedure of the Appeal. The City Attorney explained the form that the attorneys' presentations would follow during the meeting. James Davis, 1134 Ballena Boulevard, attorney for Harbor Bay Isle (HBI) offered material into evidence based upon the fact that there was no opportunity to present the evidence to the Planning Board as the matter it concerns was raised after the Planning Board hearing was closed. The City Attorney summarized the City's position concerning Condition No. 4 regarding Recreational Vehicle (RV) storage. Mr. Davis summarized his client's position regarding the RV storage area. The City Attorney then gave his response. Mr. Davis presented his client's position regarding Condition No. 5 addressing the school site and the 40-acre settlement agreement. The City Attorney responded to the presentation. Councilmember Thomas inquired what kind of Notice was given on Condition 4 to the residents of Tract 3810, May 3, 1988 4 Mr. Davis stated that in the brief is an extensive discussion on the hearings. Councilmember Thomas inquired if he had a copy of the Notice, to which Mr. Davis replied that it is not necessary. Councilmember Thomas commented that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) states there will be 32 acres for schools, 100 foot perimeter around the shoreline park and 33 acres for parks. Mr. Davis stated the EIR was done on a bigger project and as a part of the mitigation of that project, the project was cut way down and therefore the public areas were cut down also; and that an EIR is a study of alternatives. Councilmember Thomas inquired if there is a new EIR, to which Mr. Davis replied that Council just recently voted to adopt the EIR, determining it was adequate. The City Attorney stated the basic element is that Council is required to make a policy decision, and offered procedural alternatives to Council. Councilmember Monsef stated he believes the City has a contractual agreement; there is a Condition prior to permit that was issued; and that the Condition should be enforced. President Corica agreed and stated something should be done before the project is built out. Councilmember Thomas stated she agrees, believes 9 acres is required for Tract 3810, and it is time to enforce the Condition. Councilmember Camicia inquired if the Board rezoned the school site open space. The City Attorney stated the Condition was to require the developer to do it and that is why he suggests rewording; schools cannot be built in "o" zones, and the form of Condition needs to be altered; does not believe a condition is necessarily the way to do it; and offered other procedural suggestions. Councilmember Camicia noted that HBI has offered a 12 acre school site for purchase at 1980 prices and inquired, if Council proceeds with a lawsuit, whether the offer would still remain. Stephen Brimhall, 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway, HBI, replied HBI is committed to, and has worked with the School District toward, getting a second school site; the seven-year option expired in 1987 but was extended by HBI to 1990, at the 1980 value. Councilmember Thomas stated there is no option and there has never been one. Councilmember Camicia stated there is not an ironclad agreement; if Council goes to Court and loses, the option might be lost; he does not want to gamble with taxpayers' money and possibly pay for May 3, 1983 13 a school site at present day prices instead of a 1980 price; would like Council to provide leadership that would keep the City out of Court and avoid the jeopardy that might be involved; and does not want to do HBI any favors if there is a Court suit, and therefore will abstain. Councilmember Haugner stated she will abstain; that the Court is a disinterested party who will listen; believes it is not possible to be clear on this matter; and does not want to do a disservice to the City or the City Attorney. Councilmember Thomas stated the School District does not have money for the school site; Council has the opportunity to get the school site free; it is a public need; Council has the police power, is elected to exercise that power and to vote for the public's best interest. Councilmember Haugner stated she believes if Council can get the land from the developer, fine, but the matter should be put in the hands of the Court; there are three votes and she would like the vote taken. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to take the 8-acre school site that is indicated on the General Plan of the City of Alameda as the last remaining acreage, if it is the last remaining acreage, at this time. The City Attorney inquired if the Planning Board could be instructed to remove that 8 acres from the shoreline in Tract 4500 and put it over at that location that is reserved in Tract 3810, and to start the necessary hearings and whatever else necessary to make those amendments to the two tentative maps. Councilmember Thomas so moved. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion, and it was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 3. Noes: None. Abstentions: Councilmembers Camicia and Haugner - 2. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to enforce the 9-acre RV provision in PD-77-5, and direct the Planning Board to begin holding hearings on where the 9 acres should be; and also direct the Planning Board to consider the interior 4 acre site adjacent to the school as a potential site for RV parking. The City Attorney suggested that be done in two motions. Councilmember Thomas agreed and made a motion to enforce the 9-acre RV provision in PD-77-5. The City Attorney inquired if that could be done in the language he recommended in his memo. Councilmember Thomas requested he read that language. The City Attorney read that "the final development plan required by Condition 1 shall include the location and site plan for the 9-acre recreational vehicle park as required by Condition 16 of [Planning May 3, 1988 136 Board] Resolution 950." Councilmember Thomas so moved. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 3. Noes: None. Abstentions: Councilmembers Camicia and Haugner -2. Councilmember Thomas moved the Planning Board begin holding hearings to determine where the 9 acres of RV parking should be located. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 3. Noes: None. Abstentions: Councilmembers Camicia and Haugner. Mr. Davis requested Council take action on the Stipulation. The City Attorney commented that the matter had been held over from the last meeting. Mr. Davis commented that following the last meeting, HBI had sent a letter holding off its request for the return of the $292,000 from the City and the School District until this meeting is completed and the Stipulation request determined, and therefore, there is absolutely no penalty to the City but it does allow the 42-units to be constructed, which are a lowered density. Councilmember Thomas stated she would like to hear from the School District as to what they want to do, and made a motion to continue the Stipulation until Council hears from the School District; and that the matter of the Stipulation be placed on the next agenda. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmember Camicia, Haugner, Monsef, Thomas and President Corica - 5. Noes: None. Abstentions: None. 88-313 Consideration of recreational vehicle needs on Bay Farm Island. (Condition No. 4, Planned Development Amendment 87-6) (Harbor Bay Isle Associates) The City Attorney explained the purpose of the hearing, that because of the constraints of the Appeal process where the public was not going to be permitted to speak, two hearings were set, one for each Condition, to see whether or not there were reasons for a legislative decision contrary to the previous decisions already made and for technical reasons they were put on after the Appeal. President Corica opened the public portion of the hearing. On the call for proponents [those in favor of acreage in Harbor Bay Isle (HBI) for recreational vehicles] the following spoke: Rosalie McPherson, 1128 Marianas Lane, Alameda Alliance of Homeowners. John Pappas, 342 Channing Way, Steven Bookspan, 141 Stanbridge Lane, Lantern Bay Homeowners Association Charles McNeil, 101 Chinaberry Lane, Baywood Village Homeowners May 3, 1988 Association Allan Justus, 353 Gerhard Degemann, Gerald Bloch, Association Bill Withrow, 133 Channing Way 19 Sandpiper Place 1933 Kaftan Parkway, Woodbridge Homeowners Cumberland Way, Community of Harbor Bay Isle On the call for opponents, the following spoke: Stephen Brimhall, 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway, Harbor Bay Isle [Submitted paper describing proposal regarding RV acreage] The public portion of the meeting was closed. Councilmember Thomas discussed the Gun Club and the proposal of HBI submitted at the Council meeting; and stated she is not sure Council should make a policy decision favoring the Gun Club with a 2 million dollar subsidy to avoid a legal Condition and does not believe she can vote for it. President Corica inquired about releasing the area; to which the City Attorney stated the Gun Club has a lease with the City; the City is the owner and the Gun Club has a 20-year lease for $1/year; someone must first buy out the Gun Club and then deal with the City and does not recall if the Gun Club's lease is assignable. Councilmember Thomas stated the lease was renewed and thinks it has only about twenty years and perhaps Mr. Brimhall would know. Mr. Brimhall stated he believes the Gun Club has 13 years left on the lease; that his proposal was not to give the Gun Club $2 million but instead, HBI would build an indoor pistol range and give it to the Gun Club in lieu of the Gun Club's interest in the property; the Gun Club would have the right to use the property for the next 13 years for $13; if they turn the right over to HBI, HBI would pay them by building that facility; the Gun Club agreed to that; HBI would then come to the City and for the remainder, would pay the City for the land; and they would be glad to sit down and go over the matter, and if the City does not want it, HBI is prepared to come in, do a 4-acre site and do it immediately in the business park. The City Attorney stated that action only need be taken if the Council wished to change the position taken on the Appeal. No action was taken. 88-314 Consideration of various needs for public land dedications on Bay Farm Island. (Condition No. 5, Planned Development Amendment 87-6) (Harbor Bay Isle Associates) President Corica explained the procedure of the hearing. The public portion of the hearing was opened. On the call for proponents, the following spoke: May 3, 1988 138 Elizabeth Rogers, 1261 Weber Street Peg Roberts, 3120 La Campania Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street [Submitted material regarding Conditions] Bruce Young, 328 Capetown Drive, Alameda Alliance of Homeowners Ronald A. Matthews, 106 Carob Lane, Baywood Village Homeowners Association Pamela G. DeSimone, 185 Inverness Way, Sandpiper Cove Homeowners Association On the call for opponents, the following spoke: Debbie Damele, 78 Kilkenny Stephen Brimhall, 1141 Harbor Bay Parkway, Harbor Bay Isle [Submitted paper on proposal regarding school situation] Councilmember Camicia requested Mr. Brimhall to explain again the million dollars for Lincoln School. Mr. Brimhall replied that HBI is willing to pay a cash fee of $950,000 and to specify that it would be used to improve the Lincoln School; that was one of the things agreed to; and believes HBI is the only developer in the City that did not protest the $1.50 per square foot imposed on all new homes built; cannot do both of those and also an 8-acre school site; Amelia Earhart is approximately 50% Harbor Bay children and 50% non-Harbor Bay children; Harbor Bay gave the 8 acres for Amelia Earhart, and went with the District to the State to get funding for the school. Councilmember Camicia inquired that, assuming HBI is successful in this lawsuit, what happens to the $950,000. Mr. Brimhall replied that all HBI is asking is that the City assign the 8-acre option to the School District, HBI would exercise that agreement and pay them the money and it could be done within two weeks. Councilmember Thomas stated that HBI did get remote site status for the School District, however it does not apply for middle school, only K-5; and requested Assistant Fire Chief Bob LeGrone comment on the Fire Station site study. Assistant Fire Chief LeGrone commented that he is not prepared for a Fire Station report but the committee is moving forward quickly, has been restudying all the previous sites, reevaluated sites offered by the developer, all of which they believe are unsatisfactory, and have two sites to which they have given a high priority and are working with Ryland Research Inc., which will also be addressing this issue and hope to move forward very soon. No action was taken. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 88-315 From Interim City Manager regarding Written Communications. Richard Roth, 1417 - 5th Street, commented he wrote letter May 3, 1988 139 suggesting written communications be combined with related agenda items; would like related legislation be placed directly following a hearing. Councilmember Thomas inquired if the legislation could be placed following the hearing. Councilmember Thomas stated that perhaps the Municipal Code could be amended to state that if there is a hearing with a related proposed ordinance, it will follow consecutively. The City Attorney stated that perhaps it could be amended to state that an ordinance can be taken out of order without benefit of a motion; or could state any item related to a hearing can be taken out of order without benefit of a motion. Councilmember Camicia stated that speakers are sometimes heard, the matter then agendized and perhaps reagendized at a third meeting; that two items in the report make sense, one being that letters be checked to see which ones should be agendized and that existing items be addressed when the item comes up for discussion; and he would like writers informed that the matter is coming up and the letter will be addressed under the agendized item; and he believes Written Communications should remain at the beginning of the meeting. Councilmember Haugner inquired how decisions are made as to which items are placed on the agenda, when they are addressed to the Mayor and Councilmembers. The City Clerk stated most letters become Written Communications; if there is any question as to whether or not it is for informational purposes only, or for Council attention, she contacts the individual who wrote the letter, or discusses same with the City Manager's office. President Corica stated Councilmember Camicia's idea of having someone get back to the writer of the letter to ask if they really want it on the the Council Agenda, or letting them know their letter has been distributed to all of the Councilmembers and Council is aware of their letter, might be sufficient for some writers. Councilmember Haugner commented that sometimes people want an action taken that can be done administratively; and rather than any other action, perhaps staff should just take care of the problems. President Corica agreed and commented staff does correct some matters but there are other types of letters and he is concerned about the amount of time involved to call and inquire about agendizing or not, but he would like to try that. Councilmember Camicia stated some some items are heard several times, and noted a letter was written about United Cable and was heard at three meetings; on letters of that sort, he would like staff to determine what needs to be agendized as an item; in the May 3, 1988 140 case of the United Cable item, rather than hearing about it under the Written Communications format, it might have made much more sense to take the letter, develop the staff report and allow Council to vote on it, and Council could have saved a meeting or two. President Corica suggested the procedure be tried that requires staff to contact writers. Councilmember Haugner stated she would also like the letter to be placed with the hearing to which it applies and the writer notified under which agendized item the letter will be considered. President Corica commented he believed the writer would have to be contacted and the placement must be agreed to; suggested the procedures be applied and any other ideas considered. Councilmember Haugner suggested that if a writer is not available by telephone, a note can be written. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to accept the report and recommendation. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88-316 From Historical Advisory Commission on the historic value of the original City Hall garage. President Corica stated he had the item pulled from the Consent Calendar because the recommendation notes the garage is not to be demolished under any circumstances, and he believes there might possibly be a need sometime for that space. Following a brief discussion on possible action to be taken, Councilmember Thomas noted that, as it is a report only, it can be accepted as such, and further action can be taken by Council whenever necessary. Councilmember Haugner moved to accept the report, Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. RESOLUTIONS 88-317 Resolution No. "Clarifying Council's intent that Four Bridges be funded with CDBG/UDAG funds. Councilmember Monsef stated the reason he took this off the Consent Calendar is because at the previous Council meeting, some people understood Four Bridges was funded but it was not as the motion made by Council was on the Statement which did not include the funding for Four Bridges; and he would like to see a report on how the funding is going to be handled because the report under the Consent Calendar item does not clearly state how the funding can or will be accomplished. Councilmember Camicia stated he believes Four Bridges should be funded and if there is any problem with the funding, the matter May 3, 1988 14.E should be returned to Council. President Corica stated the Statement should come back before Council so that Council may review it again, as there might be other areas from which the money can come. Councilmember Monsef made a motion to bring the CDBG budget matter back on the agenda. Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES 88 -318 Ordinance No. , N.S. "Amending Title XVII of the Alameda Municipal Code to establish a two -hour zone in front of 512 Westline Drive." Introduced. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to introduce the ordinance. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88 -319 Ordinance No. , N.S. "Amending Title XVII- of the Alameda Municipal Code to establish all -stop signing at the intersections of Broadway at Bayview Drive and Court Street at Bayview Drive." Introduced. Bill Kane, 2615 Bayview Drive, urged Council to pass the ordinance, thanked Traffic Advisory Committee and Police Department for this recommendation which should slow the traffic down; and requested the Police Department continue to patrol the area. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to introduce the ordinance, Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion and it was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 88 -320 Ordinance No. , N.S.

"Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by adding Article 6 to Chapter 3 of Title II thereof establishing the Housing Commission of the City of Alameda and prescribing membership and duties of said Commission. Introduced. Councilmember Thomas made a motion to introduce the ordinance. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion. Councilmember Monsef stated he will vote against it because he is not in favor of the changeover to a separate Commission; and maintains it is too soon to make this change because of the major changes the Housing Authority has gone through over the past four or five years; that it is too soon to give over such power to the new Commission. Fred Scullin, 1120 Chestnut Street, inquired if the existing May 3, 1988 142 By -Laws of the existing Housing Authority are still in effect or if it is turned over to the new Commission. President Corica clarified some of the responsibilities that will be given the new Commission. Mr. Scullin stated there were some items omitted in the By -Laws concerning membership and how matters are decided by vote. The Executive Director of the Housing Authority replied that those items are prescribed by State law and therefore did not need to be detailed again; that the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority will continue, and the new Commission will need to adopt its own rules of conduct for its meetings. Councilmember Camicia moved introduction of the ordinance. Councilmember Haugner seconded the motion. The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Camicia, Haugner, Thomas and President Corica - 4. Noes: Councilmember Monsef - 1.
