improvement plans for Tract No, 3550.
Vice President Corica explained the developer had given the City an option to buy a seven and one -
half acre per.ei of land adjoining a two and one -half acre parcel which had been dedicated for
recreational purposes. He said the developer now requested the City to take up its option or
release it so they might proceed with their project, and stated the cost to the City would approxi-
mate x$374,236.75.
Following a discussion of capital improvement needs and the present uncertainty as to the ultimate

by Councilman Hurwitz.
Mrs. Inez Kapellas, 11228 College Avenue, asked if the development of this parcel would be subject to

Vice President Corica reported Mr. Bell felt the auditorium should be acquired and used jointly
by the School District and the City.
Mr. Frank Ratto, 1053 Island Drive, stated he and others in the community were very interested in
retaining the facilities for use as a community auditorium. He asked the Cn_ndil to postpone
action on the matter until their investigation had been completed.
Councilman McCall read a letter received this date from the Board of Education, in which it was stated
the Board had determined replacement of most of Alameda High School would be more feasible than re-
habilitation of the non-conforming portions. It was also stated several citizens had suggested the
City might be interested In acquiring the auditorium for use as a civic center and the hoard desired
to ascertain the extent of such interest.
Councilman McCall reported the College of Alameda had a full -size auditorium in their capital outlay
program and the projections were that it would be built. He said it was his opinion this would be
the logical site for a civic auditorium.
Councilman Hurwitz stated a survey revealed the auditorium had been used for outside community
performances only five time; in 1972 -73 and five times in 1973 -74; the balance of the time it had
been used for student body meetings.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Eeokam moved the Council regretfully decline to accept

6. From the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, signed by Mr. Donald J. Gehb, President, concerning
economic impact of the boating industry in the City.
Mr. Bud Chamberlain, Chairman_ of the sub- committee of the Aqua Business Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, summarized the written report which had been furnished to the Council. He said it
was their opinion the sales tax revenue to the City from the marine and pleasure boating industry
could be doubled, and the Committee recommended the Council consider the formation of a Port
Commission or Marine Advisory Board to provide long range planning to achieve controlled growth
and proper usage of the water - oriented businesses. They further recommended membership on the
Board consist of elected officials, City staff, general business people and representatives of
the marine industry.
After a lengthy discussion, the report and recommendations were referred to the City Manager and
City Attorney to investigate the formation of a Marine Advisory Board with a report to the
Council prior to its regular meeting of August 6, 1974.
7. From Mr. Jacob Levitan, Attorney, requesting a permit be issued to the East Bay Sanitary,
Inc., to haul refuse from the North and East Housing Areas of the Naval Air Station.
City Attorney Cunningham explained that for many years Alameda City Disposal had held an exclusive
franchise to collect and dispose of, haul, et cetera, certain defined refuse and garbage accumu-
lating in the City. He said the United States now required their minor contracts to go to public
bid and the low bidder to haul refuse from the Housing Areas had been East. Bay Sanitary, Inc.;
that it was no longer possible to cover the refuse as fill on the Naval property and it must, of
necessity, he transported out of the City over City streets. In this connection, the Alameda
City Disposal had objected.
Mr. Cunningham stated it was his opinion the franchise to Alameda City Disposal governed only
parts of the City over which the City had control and did not cover the Federal enclave. He
said he believed it would be legally possible, from a technical standpoint, to award the person
given the Federal contract a special City permit for the sole purpose of transporting garbage
generated in the Naval Air Station cut of the City over carefully defined routes and in carefn ly
controlled vehicles, subject to the approval and supervision of the City Engineer, and containing
adequate indemnification and insurance provisions protecting the City from Lability which might
be incurred by virtue of granting such permit.
Attorney Jacob Levitan stated he had reviewed the ordinance and franchise and believed it dealt.
with garbage and refuse collected within the City. He said his client world agree to the con-
ditions set, out by the City Attorney.
In answer to a question put by Councilman McCall, Mr, Levitan stated his client's contract covered
the residential areas of the North and East. Housing areas of the Naval Air Station. There followed
a general discussion as to whether these areas were within the boundaries of the Naval Air Station.
Mr, Randall F. Dickey, Jr., Attorney for Alameda City Disposal, stated there was a point of con-
troversy as to whether some of the Housing areas were actually on City or Federal land. He said
that under his client's franchise agreement, a percentage of the revenue was paid to the City.
He stated he did not believe another company should he allowed to come into the City and conduct the
same type of operation without paying a revenue to the City and in direct competition to his
client, Mr. Dickey referred to bid information supplied by the U.S. Navy indicating the types of
units to be serviced, these being set out as On- Station Units - 341 Public Quarters consisting of
11,2 buildings, and Off- Station Units - 872 Public Quarters consisting of 16G. buildings.
Following discussion, the City Attorney and City Engineer were directed to investigate the boundary
question. Further consideration of the request was held over to the regular meeting of July 16,
to be placed on the agenda under "Unfinished Business ".
A ten - minute recess was called. Upon reconvening, the meeting continued with the regular order of
business.

REPORTS AND RECO2MENDATIONS:
0 Continued from the regular meeting of June 4, 1074, from the City Planning Board, signed by
the Assistant Secretary, making recommendation on the Tentative Map for Tract No. 3548, filed by
Harbor Bay Isle Associates.
Vice President Corica asked if the map displayed in the Council Chamber depicted the entire Village
and inquired as to its boundaries.
Mr. Cal Jones, Architect for the developer, distributed small scale maps similar to the one on
display, in which various areas had been colored in. He explained the Village, as described in the
"PD" approval, consisted of the yellow area (Lots 1 -240), the two striped pink areas (Lots 225 1 "46),
and the lagoon between them and were the first two neighborhoods. In answer t.o a question put by the
Vice President, he stated no plans had been prepared for the uncolored area (southwest corner of
Village 1 outside of the "PD" approved area) as at the time the 'Tentative Map had been filed, the
area had been zoned Commercial.
Attorney James B. Davis explained the uncolored area was a portion of the property which the Council
had rezoned to "R- 1 -PP ", and would eventually be developed in accordance with that zoning.
Vice President Corica said he was dissatisfied with (1) the 2C -foot street width; (2) the maintenance
of the lagoon system which would be partially paid for by the City without full public access to the
system; and (3) the building of the Village close to existing homes which were experiencing a noise
problem. He said it was his opinion no construction should start on Bay Farm Island until the
streets on the mainland of Alameda had been widened and the traffic problems resolved.
In answer tc a question put, by Councilman Hurwitz concerning the exceptions and questions noted
in his Report, the City Engineer replied the developer's written responses were an affirmative attempt
to respond directly to each comment and were satisfactory.
Councilman Hurwitz stated he, too, did not like the idea of building close to the Airport and would
also like to see the streets widened, however he felt approval should he given to building the
first 240 units and determination made after that concerning the environmental effect on the City.
Mrs, Inez Kapellas expressed her objections to the street widths, the number of duplex structures,
the lack of accessibility by the public to the lagoons and the cost of their maintenance. She
suggested the Tentative Map not be approved with these conditions.
Miss Joan Narahara questioned how the City would finance the maintenance of the lagoon system. The
City Engineer explained an agreement would be entered into with the developer.
Mr. Joseph Sullivan questioned the advisability of constructing residences on the sand mounds which
would be created when dredging the lagoons. He objected to the lack of sidewalks and streets.
Mrs. Helen Freeman spoke as to her understanding of a Tentative Yap and the lack of retention devices
on the lagoons. She asked that the City Engineer check the real property description contained in
the Grant Deed from Utac International Inc. to Harbor Bay Isle Associates; also that the City check
the latest "Corps of Engineers Permit Responsibilities in Navigable Waters." She submitted the above
documents to the City Clerk together with a letter from the County Clerk and a copy of the min:tes
of Court of Sessions of Alameda dated October 3, 1954.
Mr. Dale Sprankel. Architect for the developer, stated the Tentative Map under discussion consisted
of two neighborhoods out of six neighborhoods in the total Village 1. He said this was consistent
with the master planning presented heretofore to the Council and approved by the Planning Board. He
stated the projected public streets would meet all City standards and would handle the traffic involved.
Concerning the private streets, he said the one -way streets would he 1L -feet in minimum width and the
two-way streets would be 22 -feet wide. He noted that in the Master Plan all access to neighborhoods
were limited and none of the streets would be through streets.
Attorney Allen Littman of Pillsbury, Madison e Sutro, representing the developer, stated the appli-
cation had been filed in full conformity with the zoning ordinance, and the developer had complied
with all demands of the City.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Hurwitz moved the recommendation of the Planning Board
be adopted and the Tentative Map for said Tract be approved, subject to the conditions and req,,ire-
ments contained in the City Engineer's Report dated May 14, 1924„ and satisfying the requirements
of the Fire Department,.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Beckam and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Three.
Noes: Vice President Corica, (1), Absent: President La Croix, Jr., (1).
10, . Continued from the regular meeting of June A, 1071, from the City Manager, requesting authoriza-
tion to enter into ar Agreement with the East. Bay Regional Park District for a study of the beach odor
problem.
Dr. Alexander Horne, Assistant Professor of Aquatic Biology, University of California, explained the
odor was caused by rotten algae. He stated he could make a contribution by identifying the odor -
causing :natter and pinpointing the origin of the algae which he believed to be shell beds. He said
when this had been established, then some action could be taken to dredge `he shell beds and remove
the source of the problem, On question, he estimated the study would be rompleied and a report made
by April 1, 1075, however stated that if weather and water condit ions permitted, it might, possibly
be ready prior to that time. IIe agreed to submit progress reports.

11. From the City Planning Board, signed by the President, requesting initiation of a moratorium
on condominium conversions.
Vice President Corica explained the request of the City Planning Board. He said he questioned the
necessity for an immediate moratorium.
The City Attorney stated an immediate moratorium would require an emergency ordinance, which he
did not recommend. He said his office was working on an ordinance containing strong condominium
conversion control regulations.
The Acting Planning Director reported there were no pending applications to the Planning Board for
condominium conversion.
Mr. Samuel Young, 1722 Central Avenue, and Mr. Donald Lindsey, 1023 Morton Street, voiced their
objections to a moratorium, stating there was no present emergency.
Mrs. Ina Ratto, 1053 Island Drive, a member of the City Planning Board, said the Board had been
looking at the issue since January, 1873. She stated the Board was beginning a review of the Sub-
division Ordinance. The main reason the Board had requested the moratorium was because there were
few applications at the Board level at the present time. She said the Board had no criteria on
which to judge condominium conversion applications and this is what, they wished to develop.
Sr. John Fenstermacher, 1734 Cambridge Drive, a member of the City Planning Board, stated he and
Mrs. Ratto were on the Condominium Conversion Committee of the Board. He said they believed tha-
at the end of the four -month period of time they would have something constructive to present to
the Hoard and forward to the Council. He stated this would provide a breathing period within which
they could formulate subjective criteria.
Mr. Brit Johnson, 858 Portola Avenue, questioned the need for an emergency measure.
Mr. Joseph Sullivan expressed himself in favor of the Planning Board's request.
