WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS:
3. From 53 Registered Owners of Boats berthed at the Alameda Marina, petitioning the City to
surface the boat trailer and parking lot adjacent to the boat launching ramp at the foot of Grand
5treet,
The City Manager stated part of the problem was caused by persons using the parking lot as a race
track and the Police Department would give the area special attention. Also, the Bureau of Electricity
and Recreation Department were exploring the possibility utilizing poles laid flat in order to
channelize the parking lot to avoid that type of usage. As As to a resurfacing of the parking lot,
this item is included for consideration in the proposed Capital Improvement Program.
Mr. Mario P. Bonicelli, 22340 Granger Avenue, Los Altos, spoke as a representative of the boat
owners and set out the problems caused by the illegal use of the pa,-king lot by wheel
spinning and motorcycle sliding. He particularly emphasized the extensive boat ' damage resulting
from the dust, dirt particles and pebbles emanating from the parking lot and deposited on the boats.
4. From The Reverend Wilfred H. Hodakin, Rector of Christ Church Parish, urging the purchase of
the Central Avenue Post Office Building for conversion and use by the Alameda Police Department.
President La Croix reported this item was under active consideration by Council. The communica-
tion was referred to the file.
'
5. From The Reverend Wilfred H. Hodgkin, Rector of Christ Church Parish, urging the City to
proceed with the completion of arrangements for the building of the Northside Park.
President La Croix stated the City Manager would make a presentation, within the next several
meetings, on the progress of negotiations for the purchase of the site. The communication was re-
ferred to the file.
6. From Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Marshall, 912 Magnolia Drive, complaining of the operation
the Isle City Gun Club.
The President stated the matter had been referred to the Chief of Police by the City Manager.
Councilman McCall said it was his belief the problems were created not only by members of the
Gun Club but by persons who trespassed upon the area and were not being supervised. He commended
the Hunter Safety program sponsored by the Club and their past cooperation in the protection and
safety of persons living in the area.
City Manager Goss stated complaints had been received in the past with respect to the operations of
the Club and they had been cooperative in making physical changes in an effort to eliminate some of
the nuisances created by the operation. He suggested that perhaps the Police Department could work
with the Club in an attempt to solve the problem.
Councilman McCall requested that those members of the Island City Gun Club in attendance at this
meeting rise and approximately twelve gentlemen did so. He introduced Mr. Tom Caton, their President
Mrs. Eleanor Tattersall, 1278 Weber Street, stated that she was opposed to the use of guns but felt
that if the City were going to have a gUn club, then it should be run properly. She asked that the
rules governing the use of guns, in particular the use of BB guns, be made known to the community
as she had been unaware of the illegality of shooting a BB gun within the City limits only until
a short time ago.
Mrs. Robert W. Marshall presented a petition signed by eleven residents of the area supporting their
stand in requesting removal of the ClUb. She enumerated the disadvantages of living in the immediate
vicinity of a rifle range.
Following discussion, the complaint was referred to the City Manager for report and recommendation.
7. From Mr. Joel W. Parker, Jr., 832 Ashbury Avenue, El Cerrito, regarding the labor union strike
against the AC Transit District; and from AC Transit, signed by Mr. William J. Bettencourt, President
of the Board of Directors, summarizing the AC Transit P0sitjOn regarding the strike called by the
Amalgamated Transit Union.
Councilman Hurwitz recommended the Council adopt a resolution asking the State Legislature to enact
legislation requiring mandatory binding arbitration for publicly owned transit systems.
The City Attorney was directed to prepare the requested resolution.
8. From Mr. Harry B. Conway, Jr,, 1012 Azalea Drive, concerning the diminishing water pressure on
Bay Farm Island.
The City Manager reported the Fire Chief had contacted the East Bay Municipal Utility District and
a series of meetings had been undertaken between the District and the Port of Oakland with respect to
an easement across the Port's property, and discussions were continuing. He said the District was
also working on alternate ways and means to provide the water pressure and service necessary on Bay
Farm Island; also the City Engineer had suggested that perhaps during the summer months, when water
usage was at its peak, the Townhouse Associations be encouraged to water their areas at different
periods of time to avoid peak water pressure problems.
Councilman McCall stated it was his understanding a letter had been received from the EBMUD Engineers
relative to the problem which also existed on the Port property at the Oakland Airport, the area of
98th Avenue and the industrial area of Hegenberger Road, and was not solely a problem of Bay Farm
Island. He requested the City Manager to provide a status report on the efforts being made by EBMUD
to provide a new water line to Bay Farm Island.
Councilman Hurwitz recalled that the utility suppliers in the Environmental Impact Report concerning
the Harbor Bay Isle development had assured the City they would be fully able to take care of the
increased load. He requested a letter from the developers commenting on the current water problem
as it related to their proposed development.
The City Manager was directed to follow through with the above requests.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, AGENDA:
9. The following named persons requested to speak under the items indicated.
Mrs. Inez Kapellas, 1128 College Avenue, "Hearings", Item N0, l, and "Unfinished Business", Item M0'
1; former Councilman James W. Fore, 1376 East Short Drive, "Resolutions", Item No. 4, dndY]ral
Communications, General".
HEARINGS:
10. In the Matter of the Reconsideration of Actions previously taken by the City of Alameda in
approving Zone Change Application No. R-74-3 and Planned Development Application No. 74-1' (Harbor
Bay Isle Associates)
From the City Attorney, stating purpose and issues involved and outlining procedure.
The Clerk stated there was on file the affidavit of Publication of the Notice that this would be
the time and place for Hearing on the matter.
The City Attorney reviewed, in full, his letter outlining procedure and enclosing eight material
documents for information, and requested that all of the items be made a part of the public record
Of the Hearing. He noted that on July 16" 1974, the Council had adopted a resolution setting the
Public Hearing, and the reason for so doing had been because the Alameda County Airport Land Use
Commission, by its Resolution No. 14, adopted June 12, 1974, and other actions, had disapproved of
two prior City actions, namely, the PD Application No. 74-1 and the Zone Change Application No.
R-74-3; that the ALUC, after being advised the actions appeared to be inconsistent with their
alleged Interim Land Use Plan, had considered the matter and found the actions were inconsistent
with their Plan and thereafter, on June 12, 1974, after a Public Hearing, by its Resolution N0' 14
determined both actions to be 'not in the best interest of the Metropolitan Oakland International
Airport and the adjacent area," and "harmful'.
Mr. Cunningham stated the State law contained in the Public Utilities Code required that if the
ALUC determined the action or actions of a local agency would be "harmful", then the public agency
(City of Alameda) would hold another Hearing to reconsider its prior favorable actions on both the
Zone Change and the Planned Development applications and the determination as to whether or not the
Council should overrule the determination of Resolution No. 14 of the ALUC.
The President declared the Hearing opened and stated he would recognize those persons who wished
to speak in favor of the decision as set forth by the ALUC.
Mr. Ted Connolly, Chairman, Board of Directors of the Port of Oakland, said that although many
things had been said in the past about difficulties which had developed between the Port and the
City, he would like to go on record as expressing the Port's willingness to work and cooperate with
the City. He introduced Mr. Tom Clark, Deputy Port Attorney.
Mr. Clark, 66 Jack London Square, Oakland, requested the Council not to proceed to reconsider the
decision of the City Planning Board, and alleged the reconsideration must be made, pursuant to
State law, by the Planning Board. He expressed the objection of the Port of Oakland to such action
by the Council. He stated that on April 15, 1974, the Planning Board had approved a preliminary
Planned Development plan for the Village; on April 16, 1974, the Council had rezoned over 600
acres of Bay Farm Island to single-family residential use; that the land involved in the PD
proposal was not land included in the rezoning approval. He related the ALUC, pursuant to Public
Utilities Code § 21676, had determined on May 8, 1974, by resolution and without a single dissenting
vote, that both actions, the PD approval and rezoning approval, were inconsistent with the ALUC's
comprehensive land use plan for the Airport and its surrounding area, including Bay Farm Island.
He detailed the steps taken and Hearings held in the development of their plan, which plan provided
for a line of demarcation alongside of which residential development was determined to be detri-
mental to the general welfare of future residential inhabitants. Mr. Clark reported that on June 12,
1974, the ALUC had held a further Hearing and had again determined each action of the City was
not in the best interest of the Airport and surrounding area, and that each action was harmful,
and had so notified President La Croix and the Chairman of the City Planning Board.
Mr. Clark stated, according to statuatory language, each public agency notified was required to
hold another Hearing to reconsider its action. He maintained the City Planning Board was the
proper agency to reconsider its action taken on the Planned Development application and quoted
from City Charter Sections 3-1, 14-1, 10-11, and Alameda Municipal Code Sections 11-1353, 11-1358.9
and 11-1358'9/c\, in support of his contention.
Mr. Clark reviewed, at length, the Hearings held by the Council in connection with the Zone
Change application and the written report of Attorney Gary Near, as Special Counsel for the City.
He cited and quoted from numerous cases which he asserted upheld the Port's position and requested
the Council to recommend to the Planning Board that no residential use be made of land south of the
line of demarcation, as set out by the Port.
Mr. Ted Connolly again addressed the Council and remarked on (1) aircraft noise as it affects
Bay Farm Island; (2) recent actions by the ALUC; (3) proposed alternative development on Bay Farm
Island; and (4) a review of the results of the recent attitude and opinion survey conducted within
the City by the Port of Oakland.
Mr. Connolly said the aircraft noise in the Bay Farm Island area, which was known to be a serious
problem, would grow in the foreseeable future. He recalled that the City, in a joint petition with
Utah International Inc. and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, had had the Oakland Metropolitan
International Airport designated as a noise problem. He said that despite that action and the
Environmental Impact Report for the Harbor Bay Isle project, which contained information as to
the extreme levels of noise gOYerning portions of Bay Farm Island, and despite the potentially
damaging effect that noise would have on future residents, the Port had never felt certain that
noise consideration played a major role in the City's recent decisions. He said they would accede
there was an aircraft noise problem and the problem would grow worse, however they would acknowledge
their responsibility to the public to take reasonable steps, within the options available to the
Port of Oakland, to minimize noise impact on neighboring residents. He stated in their letter to
the Council, dated January 18, 1974, various procedural and operational measures were outlined
which were specifically designed to reduce noise levels, In addition, a Noise Abatement Task
Force was created and had been working for approximately one year with the same goal in mind and
progress had been made in the area of noise reduction. He said it was vital for the City Council
and City Planning Board to consider present and projected noise impact in its land use planning
deliberations.
rr. Connolly Suggested the Council had an alternative. He said the ALUC had studied the issue
and had said it was harmful for any development of residential quality to go beyond the line of
demarratiOn, as established by the Port. He solicited the cooperation of the Council in not allowing
any residential use to go beyond that line. He remarked that at one time the Port had set up a
line of demarcation which was far beyond the present compromise and the affected area now consisted
Of only approximately 280 acres. He suggested an industrial park or low-profile commercial project
be developed in this area; that the developer agree to commence building to the north of the line
of demarcation and either sell the 280 acres to the Port or develop it on some joint basis in an
industrial use.
Mr. Connolly urged the Council to accept the determination of the ALUC and rezone the area south
Of the line of demarcation for an alternative use, such as he had SVgg25ted. He stated this solution
would avoid committing land subject to serious noise impact to an incompatible use and creating
unhealthy living standards for the community; that future residents would be protected from intol-
erable noise levels, the Airport would be allowed to resume its regionally designated role as a
major transportation and economic asset to the East Bay, and the developer would still be allowed
to go ahead and develop his project. He said he felt this would be an acceptable solution'
Mrs. Elizabeth Wood, 3305 Fir Avenue, said she and her neighbors in the Islondio and Garden Isle
Townhouses did not want more traffic congestion, higher taxes, loss of job revenue from the Oaklard
Airport or loss of its use by small aircraft and small jets. She asserted that each complaint of
aircraft noise which had been reported to the Airport tower had been taker care of quickly and she,
personally, had never been disturbed by aircraft noise.
The President stated he would ut this Lime recognize those persons who wished to speak in favor of
an override of the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission decision.
Attorney Allen Littman spoke on behalf of Harbor Bay Isle Associates. He stated that out of deference
to the record in this case, he would ask that the entire administrative record of all of the
proceedings before the Council and before the City of Alameda in connection with the development
of Bay Farm Island be deemed properly part of this record. It was so ordered.
Mr. Littman stated that with respect to the argument of the Port of Oakland that the Planning
Board was the agency to reconsider its action taken on the Planned Development application and
exercise the four-fifths override, the applicable statute read, "the public agency proposing the
action or regulation, however, may overrule the Commission after such hearing by a four-fifths vote
Of its governing body." He said, in his 0piniOO, the "governing body" of the City was without
question the City Council and not the Planning Board.
Mr. Littman remarked that the present 4,000 residents of Bay Form Island lived closer to the Oakland
Airport than the residential development proposed by his client. He stated that if there was no
noise problem with respect to Bay Farm Island as it exists already, any objections by the Port of
Oakland to the development proposed by his client were senseless. He said, if it was the intention
of the Port of Oakland to increase the noise, it would harm the present 4,000 residents more than
any of the residents who would live in the new development.
Mr. Littman said that for twenty-five years Bay Farm Island had been designated for residential
development. He referred to and read from correspondence addressed to the City Manager and/or City
Council from the Port Manager on July 23, 1953 and February 7, 1955, confirming this statement.
He said that on June 29, 1964, Mr. Ben Nutter, Executive Director of the Port of Oakland, appeared
before the Council in connection with the rezoning of Bay Farm Island and stated he wished to make
very clear the fact the Port did not oppose the development, as a whole. . . and that his objection
covered the "R-5" area where high density residences were proposed to be developed, which was the
area immediately adjacent to Runway 29.
Mr. Littman reviewed the Port of Oakland plan to expand from 2,226,494 passengers in 1973 to
25,000,000 in 1985. He noted they had recently received the Draft Environmental Impact Report
published and prepared "in house" by the Port of Oakland with respect to the expansion of the
Terminal facilities. He said that proposal was to expand the facility to permit 4,000,000
passengers per year to pass through Oakland. He quoted from the draft EIR, at page 56, which stated
the 4°000,000 rate was not projected for any specific year. . . it could be assumed this traffic
level would be achieved some time between the present and 1980. . . precisely when Oakland would
achieve 4,000,000 passengers was a question subject to speculation. At page 48, he quoted, "the
increase in passengers expected to result from this project will result in increased traffic, air
pollution, noise pollution, and possibly water pollution", et cetera. Mr. Littman cited figures
which indicated the passenger increase was actually only 2.7% per year and if it should continue
at that rate, it would be the turn of the century before the Oakland Airport passed the 4,000,000
mark.
Mr. Littman concluded his remarks by suggesting the Council override the determination of the
Alameda County Airport Land Use C0mmiSsiOD,
Mr. Robert E. DeCelle, President of the Bay Farm Island Improvement League, stated he had lived on
Bay Form Island since 1950. He said that in all of the ALUC and other Commission hearings and
meetings which he had attended, the Airport had maintained it was in the area first. He refuted
this statement and remarked the first homes were built there in the early 1900'3, there was a
subdivision development in 1924, and the Airport was dedicated in 1927 for the North Field. He
protested the right of any agency, other than the City Council, to decide what would be done with
Alameda land.
Mrs. Inez Kapellas expressed her disapproval of the actions of the Port of Oakland. She forcefully
objected to any attempt by the Port, or other agency, to dictate to the City of Alameda concerning
the development of its community. She suggested the Port of Oakland establish a buffer zone on
its own property at the Oakland Metropolitan Airport, rather than encroach upon the lands of Bay
Farm Island.
The President declared the Hearing closed and asked for the comments of the Council. He stated
he believed very strongly the only action which the Council could and should take would be one to
override the action of the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission. He said he felt that the
Council must not only protect the rights of the residents of Bay Farm Island and the east end of
Alameda, but must also protect the planning rights of the community as administered by its governing
body, the City Council.
Councilman Corica read aloud a letter which he had sent to the ALUC at the time that agency had
requested input from the public, prior to its decision. He said that after serious consideration,
and based on recent happenings wherein the developer had made concessions in reducing the density
of the first village by approximately 200 to 300 units, he had come to the conclusion the City
could best control Harbor Bay Isle.
Councilman Hurwitz stated he had been elected to the City Council because of his promise to control
density and it was tempting to use almost any device possible to regulate it. However, he said this
had nothing to do with the issue before the Council. He stated that at the time he had made the
motion to rezone the property to "R-l", he was well aware of the Airport's stand, the 65 CNEL line
and the rulings of the ALUC. He said he felt it was only right the Oakland Airport should operate
in considering Alameda, and did not feel anything had been said or done which would change the zoning
as it now existed.
Councilman Beckam said he was pleased to hear Mr. CODn0]]y's expression of cooperation and commended
Mr. Clark for his excellent presentation on behalf of the Port of Oakland. He questioned, in the
event the City should rely on the position stated by Mr. Clark and find later those opinions were
wrong, would the Port agree today to indemnify the City against any lawsuit, because of that opinion,
tomorrow. He said he doubted this would be the case. He commented on the present and projected
noise problems should the Oakland Airport expand its operations. He said he too, believed in the
`)(:,)��
v/
City's right to self-government without the assistance of other agencies; that the ALUC recognized
the existing land uses in the residential area known as the "uplands" and the proposed 711 resi-
dential units under consideration were beyond and further away from the Airport runway than the
"uplands".
Councilman Beckam stated that by its Resolution Nn' 14, adopted June 12, 1874, the Alameda County
Airport Land Use Commission determined that the prior two actions of the City in effecting Zone
Change No. R-74-3, and in approving Planned Development No. 74-1, were against the best interests
Of the Oakland Airport and its adjacent area and were "harmful". That the City Council had, this
evening, held another hearing to reconsider these two actions, as required by State law (Section
21575, Public Utilities Code), and had considered all the prior evidence, documents, reports and
materials in the record, bearing on them. That based upon that record, and upon all the matters
submitted at this hearing, and upon the City Council having fully reconsidered its prior actions,
he moved that the City of Alameda override the said determination of the Airport Land Use Commission.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Hurwitz and carried on the following roll call vote.
Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
A ten-minute recess was called, at which time President La Croix, Jr' stated he would not be in
attendance for the remainder of this evening's meeting, on the advice of his physician.
Upon reconvening, the meeting continued with the regular order of business with Vice President
Corica presiding.

Councilman Beckam moved the contract be awarded to Tamal Construction Co. for the specified project
at the price estimated, and an additional sum of $1,843 be budgeted in the Capital Outlay Fund for
the project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hurwitz and carried on the following roll call
vote. Ayes: Four. Noes: None. Absent: President La Croix, Jr., (1).
14. From the City Manager transmitting report on proposed Marine Advisory Board.
Mr. Goss stated the report contained a review of some of the things the City had done in the recent
past in terms of certain improvements along the shoreline, and of suggestions made by representatives
of the aqua business community. He said the short-term suggestions essentially related to promotional
activities and the long-term recommendations dealt with long-range planning. He commented that it
would be desirable to have a further exchange of information in order to identify some of the goals
and possible solutions to problems and get a better idea as to the responsibilities of the various
bodies involved.
Councilman Hurwitz requested this exchange of information not be limited to just the aqua business
community and staff. He said he would like to see an interim committee formed to come up with ideas
as to what could be done to promote the waterfront, to include interested citizens as well as aqua
businessmen and the City staff.
Vice President Corica noted a trip had been scheduled for August 9, in order that the City Council
and staff members might view the waterfront areas.
Mr. Brit Johnson, 850 Portola Drive, President of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, referred to
the study and report made to the Council by the Aqua Business Committee. He said he felt strongly
a Marine Advisory Board should be established to make suggestions within a six-month period as
to possible uses of the land.
Following discussion, the City Manager was directed to set up a meeting with representatives of the
aqua business community and the Chamber of Commerce and submit a report.
15. From the City Manager regarding the Alameda Chamber of Commerce contract for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1975.
Mr. Charles Tillman, 2415 Roosevelt Drive, requested a copy of the annual report of the Chamber
for the past year. The City Manager stated he would mail a copy of the report to Mr. Tillman.
Mr. Joseph Sullivan, 3221 Liberty Avenue, questioned the expenditure of taxpayer money by the Chamber
in endorsing measures, projects and proposed taxes which did not have the approval of a majority
Of the residents of the community.
Former Councilman James W. Fore recommended that a Port Commission be established. He suggested
the Chamber of Commerce contact the President of EnCjnul Terminals and outline their proposal for
development of the waterfront.
Councilman Hurwitz moved acceptance of the report. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCall
and carried or the following roll call vote. Ayes: Four. Noes: None. Absent: President La Croix,
Jr., (1).

Vice President Corica stated he was now in receipt of the proposal and had reviewed it. He asked
if the Housing Element study would be included in the project.
Mr. Peter Briggs, of Urban Management Consultants, stated their proposal did not include the actual
preparation of the Housing Element which would be done by the City Planning staff concurrently or
shortly following the termination of the Goals Study.
The City Manager reported the information gained by the Goals Study would be absolutely necessary
toward preparation of the Housing Element, principally the requirement for citizen input.
Councilman Beckam answered the questions of Mrs. Inez Kapellas.
