(Continued from the Council meeting of December 18, 1984.\ President Diament declared the hearing open. On the call for proponents, Richard Roth, 1417 - 5th Street, supported adoption of the proposed ordinance. On the call for opponents, Pamela MacKenzie, II291/2 Pearl Street, represented the Park Street Business Association, who recommended that consideration be given to limiting the numbers of types of businesses in a district rather than specifying the distance allowed between businesses. A question arose as to the intent of the proposed ordinance with regard to liquor stores which could be outside the boundary specified in the ordinance but within less than 1,000 feet of another liquor store within the boundaries described. Councilmember Lucas, who had requested consideration of the proposed ordinance, clarified that it was her intention that Only stores within the prescribed boundaries would be affected. The City Attorney confirmed that the ordinance had been drafted in that manner so as not to impact businesses outside the boundaries. Councilmember Monsef commented that it may be more appropriate that such regula- tions be applied on a City-wide basis, but he indicated he would support the ordinance. Councilmember Gorman moved that the hearing be closed and that introduction of the ordinance be taken out of agenda order. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Monsef and was passed by unanimous voice vote - 5. February 5, 1985 INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES 85-072 Ordinance No. , N.S. "An ordinance amending the Alameda Muni- cipal Code by amending Article 4H of Chapter 1 of Title XI thereof, relating to additional requirements for bars and packaged liquor stores."

Schmidt appealing the decision of the Planning Board in denying a use permit for the constructed shed 03 leased property at 1364 East Shore Drive. The Planning Director reviewed the facts relating to this matter. He stated that the Planning Board's recommendation was for denial of the use permit, as the Board found the use inappropriate under the use permit process. In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Lucas, the Planning Director clari- fied that if Council were to find the use acceptable, it would not be in viola- tion of the Zoning Ordinance. Responding to Councilmember G0r0an'S request for clarification of the Council's role in hearing this appeal, the City Attorney noted that this was not a hearing, but a review of the record of the Planning Board's action. Gary R. Schmidt, 1364 East Shcre Drive, appellant, responded to inquiries from Councilmembers. CUUDCilmember Hanna stated he found the structure an improper use for the land and was concerned that approval would encourage additional similar structures. Councilmember Lucas moved that the Planning Board decision be overturned and that the use permit be granted. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion. On the discussion, Councilmember Gorman stated that he believed the appellant was aware that a building permit was required for the structure and attempted to circumvent the system; however, in examining the record of the Planning Board's decision, he did not believe it adequately supported findings for denial. For that reason, Councilmember Gorman indicated he would support the motion. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Gorman, Lucas, Monsef and President Diament - 4. Noes: Councilmember Hanna - 1. Absent: None. Pr8Si nt Oidment called a brief recess at this time. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 85-074 From Chairman of the Historical Advisory Commission concerning the proposed name of Government Island to "Coast Guard Island". Robert DeCelle, Post Cffice Box I606, Vice Chairman of the Historical Advisory Commission, was present to support HAC's recommendation for the name change in recognition of the Coast Guard's many years of service to the community. February 5, 1985 Councilmember Hanna moved that the recommendation from the HAC be approved. Councilmember Monsef seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 85-075 From Chairman of the Alameda Golf Commission regarding proposed new pump system at the Golf Course. The City Manager reviewed the recommendation as outlined in the staff report that Council approve the installation of two Golf Course pumps and include cost Of upgrading the Golf Course drainage system in the bids to be solicited for this work, as recommended in the Black & Veach (consultant) report; further, that Council consider allocating funds for the removal of silt from the sloughs from revenue received from sale of property at Harbor Bay Parkway/Maitland Drive. Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, questioned whether or not the property to be sold was a part of the Golf Course. He referred to the outstanding Golf Course debt of 5225,000. Mr. Tillman stated he believes the drainage problem is a storm sewer problem. He suggested that proceeds from the sale of property be returned to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund. Ted Holmes, 328 Magnolia Drive, Golf Commission Chairman, addressed the need for improved drainage on the Golf Course and cleaning the silt from the sloughs. Councilmember Gorman moved that the report be accepted and that staff be directed to proceed with the process with the Port of Oakland and obtaining bids on ditch and pipe improvements and report back to Council for final recommendation and decision as to how to allocate the funds. Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion. In discussion, Councilmember Lucas inquired if a regular cleaning program for the sloughs would be fnstituted. Councilmember Gorman clarified that his inter- pretation of the recommendation from the Golf Commission was that removal of silt from the sloughs would be a one-time operation. The City Manager noted that previous equipment used for cleaning the sloughs has failed, and he recom- mended that staff report back to Council with a solution for cleaning on an ongoing basis with costs therefor. On the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 85-076 From City Manager regarding the City's First Annual Report. The City Manager clarified that Annual Reports were once prepared but have not been prepared for quite some time. It was staff's recommendation that Council authorize the expenditure to publish an Annual Report. Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, spoke in opposition to the recommended Report. He believed that March would be an inappropriate month in which to publish such a report, and he objected to the expenditure of funds that would be required for the Report.
