WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS:
2. ✓ From Alameda Unified School District, signed by Dr. Donald M. Roderick, Secretary of the Board of
Education, informing the City Council of the Board's opposition to taking a portion of the Washington
School playgrounds for the purpose of widening Eighth Street.
President LaCroix recalled the Council had requested at its last meeting that a study be made on the
subject of routes from South Shore to the Posey Tubes by the Planning Department. He said Councilmen
Fore and McCall had been requested to serve as a committee to discuss the issue with representatives of
the School Board after the study had been made and the Council had had the opportunity to peruse the
reports of the Planning and Engineering Departments.
3./ From Bay Farm Island Reclamation District No. 2105, signed by Mr. Bruce T. Mitchell, Secretary,
requesting approval of Warrant No. 166 in the amount of $50,000 to replenish the revolving fund.
The matter was referred to "Resolutions ".
4.' From Alameda Education Association, signed by Mr. Robert E. Berges, First Vice - President, setting
forth its position on land development for the newly filled areas of Bay Farm Island.
President La Croix pointed out a committee representing the City was meeting with representatives of the
Alameda Unified School District on this subject, and discussions would continue until proper agreement
had been reached as to the needs in the area involved.
President La Croix commented there were statements in the letter needing clarification which would no
doubt come out after discussion. The letter was ordered filed.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, AGENDA:
5./ Mr. Robert E. Berges, 974 Post Street, writer of the letter from the Alameda Education Association,
requested the opportunity to discuss the subject. He said the Association represented five hundred
teachers and administrators who felt that provision should be made for education in the plans to be
developed for the filled areas of Bay Farm Island, and if greater density should be allowed than recom-
mended by the Planning Board there should be provision made for more land in acceptable locations.
President La Croix stated the Board of Education and Unified School District were making a study on the
subject at the request of the Council, and a report was to be submitted on the results thereof.
Mr. Berges was assured the Council would do its utmost to obtain what was needed for these purposes in
the Bay Farm Island development.
6./ Mr. Frank Gottstein, 731 Haight Avenue, criticized the effort of the Board of Education to "throw
cold water" on the chance for working people to get better transportation facilities to Oakland by
widening Eighth Street.
President La Croix said he felt when the Council had received the requested report on this matter from
the Planning Department, it would be able to discuss the problem openly and intelligently and meet with
representatives of the School District for discussion thereon. Mr. Gottstein was assured he would have
the opportunity to talk on the proposal at that time.
7. Mr. Ronald Christensen, 2394 Webster Street, requested the opportunity to speak on the items
under "Reports and Recommendations" with regard to the proposed ordinance on Floating Homes and Moorages
Regulations.
HEARINGS:
8./ In the Matter of an Appeal from the decision of the Planning Board to deny a variance to waive the
parking requirement for one dwelling unit on a one - family dwelling converted to a two - family dwelling at
1431 Sherman Street. The Appeal had been filed by Mr. Alvin W. Frink, owner of the property.
The City Clerk stated the party involved had been informed that this would be the time and place for
Hearing in this matter. The minutes of the Planning Board meetings at which the application was
considered had been sent to the Councilmen.
City Attorney Cunningham explained the issue before the Council was whether or not the actions and
findings of the Planning Board, taken under Sections 11- 161(b) and (e) of the Alameda Municipal Code,
should be affirmed, modified or reversed.
Mr. Donald F. Johnson, Planning Director, explained the issue, as set forth in his memorandum dated
November 24, 1969. The conversion of the high basement single - family dwelling into a two - family or
duplex type unit had been practically completed, with the basement area as the second dwelling unit.
The work had been done without obtaining a Building Permit. On investigation, it had been found that
in addition to there being no Permit, there was no provision for the second car for the second family
to use. Mr. Frink had therefore sought relief under standard variance procedure and filed with the
Planning Board to waive the requirement for the second off- street parking space.
The Board had had the matter held over in an attempt to assist the applicant in determining if there
was not some possibility of solving the parking dilemma, either putting it in the front yard or on some
other location on the property. Mr. Frink had returned with the statement that there were no alterna-
tives and he would rather the Board would consider simply waiving the requirement, as applied for.
The considerable expense incurred was recognized by the Board but it felt any hardship was purely self -
created. If Mr. Frink had applied for a Building Permit before commencing the work, he would have
been advised the second off- street parking space was necessary.
President La Croix asked Mr. Johnson if the garage was a tandem -type which could be utilized for the
second parking space. Mr. Johnson said the area which might be so used had been put into living space
for the downstairs unit.
Councilman Fore said he had understood in talking to Mr. Frink that he would like to widen the driveway,
move the shrubbery and then park the second car in the yard. Mr. Johnson said Mr. Fred Jager, Inspector,
had inspected the property and agreed the curb cut could be widened to twelve feet to enable Mr. Frink
to cut diagonally across the lawn and park on the other side from the present driveway. It was deter-
mined this would be rather difficult and this type of off- street space could not be accommodated without
further variance. Furthermore, there were utility installations in the way, which would have to'be
barricaded and would reduce the width of parking space. Mr. Frink had elected not to apply for this
solution and the procedure was not recommended.
There was discussion with regard to the status of the dwelling in view of the fact that no Building
Permit had been obtained.
Mr. James R. Brummer, Chief Building Inspector, came forward and explained the illegal construction had
come to the attention of the Building Department by an anonymous report. In the attempt to resolve the
matter, it was noticed that there was a violation of the parking requirements. He said he understood
it was physically possible to bring the building up to Code standards but it would be impossible for his
Department to do anything knowing there was a parking requirement violation. With the difficulty of
obtaining this additional parking space, he understood the applicant was requested to review the problem
with the Planning Department to see if it could be resolved before the Building Department issued a
Permit. If the problem could not be resolved, Mr. Frink would be required to remove any facilities which
would make possible the use of the second unit as a family dwelling.
On the call for proponents, Mr. Alvin W. Frink came forward. He offered to answer any questions on the
subject under discussion.
Mr. Frink said he had been under the impression that no Building Permit was required on remodeling. He
said the unit had been used as a second family dwelling before he purchased the property. However, it
was poorly built and he had reconstructed it so that it was what he considered a better than average
cheaper two - bedroom rental unit. He had purchased the property three years ago as a single- family dwell-
ing. The majority of the downstairs apartment was over eight feet in height.
There was some discussion with regard to the possibility of parking a vehicle in the front yard area
available.
Councilman McCall called attention to statements in the minutes of the Planning Board meeting that Mr.
Frink owned adjacent property and was negotiating to purchase additional, that there was a possibility
in three to five years the buildings would be demolished and an apartment house would be constructed on
the properties. Mr. Frink said this was true, he owned the property at 1429 Sherman Street and was
dealing with the owner to purchase the property at 1427 Sherman. He said he could be in a financial
position at some time in the future to have the three buildings razed and have a ten -unit building
projected. Coulcilman McCall said if he was assured this would be done he could go along with the
variance, although he did not favor the building as proposed.
Councilman Longaker said he disliked to see the work Mr. Frink had put into his dwelling lost completely.
Mr. Brummer said he was not familiar with what violations might exist in the building on the work which
had been done. He said the Building Department disliked to see a man's work wasted also but it was
interested in seeing that the minimum Code was enforced.
On the call for opponents, there was no response. The Hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Fore moved the Planning Board's ruling be upheld and when Mr. Frink had had the building
inspected and it had passed the requirements of the Municipal Code, and he was willing to fix up his .
yard, he should have the right to come back to the Planning Board. The motion died for lack of a second.
There was discussion as to the best procedure to resolve the problem. Councilman Longaker inquired if
it would be possible for the Council to withhold any decision on this matter and for Mr. Frink and Mr.
Brummer to get together and discuss the problem, and determine whether there was any possible way to
resolve it.
This was agreeable and Councilman Longaker moved the matter be continued and Mr. Brummer work with Mr.
Frink to see if there was any possible way to work out the problem, with a report to be submitted back
to the Council. Councilman Levy seconded the motion which carried on the following roll call vote.
Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
9.r From the City Manager, recommending contract be awarded to Nat Lena Construction Co., low bidder,
for the project of Culvert Construction at Jackson and Court Streets, at a price of $11,144.17.
Councilman Fore moved the recommendation be approved, that the contract be awarded to the specified
company for the designated project at the price quoted. Councilman Levy seconded the motion which
carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
10.v From the City Manager, advising that an election had been held by the Police Department members and
retired Police Sergeant George Rasmussen had been elected as the Department's representative on the
Pension Board for the term expiring December 31, 1972.
The matter was referred to "Resolutions ".
11.f From the City Manager, recommending an increase in Project No. 12 of the Capital Outlay Program
from $6,000 to $10,000 be authorized for proposed improvements in the southeast quadrant of Rittler Park.
Councilman Levy moved the recommendation be accepted, and said Project No. 12 of the Capital Outlay
Program be increased from $6,000 to $10,000 for the proposed improvements at Rittler Park. Councilman
Fore seconded the motion.
Speaking on the question, Councilman McCall pointed out the original plan of the area involved did not
include the track which was shown on the drawing submitted to the Council. He inquired as to what use
was made of the facility. Mr. Weller stated this was a matter involving the School District, and the
track had been constructed at District expense. He said there had been substantial changes in the
original layout for the area and the track was one. It was not involved in the matter before the Council.
Councilman Longaker stated students of Alameda High School were transported by bus to use the facility,
which was not a full -size track.
Councilman McCall said he would like to know the cost of the track. Mr. Weller was requested to obtain
this figure.
The question was then put and the motion carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes:
None. Absent: None.
12.v From the Public Utilities Board, signed by Mr. L. F. Randall, Secretary, submitting the Bureau of
Electricity's Annual Ten -Year Financial and Statistical Forecast.
Councilman McCall commented on the success of the Bureau operation and the annual dividend transferred
to the City's General Fund over and above operating expenses and a reserve it holds. He moved the report
be accepted. Councilman Fore seconded the motion.
President La Croix complimented the administration of the Bureau of Electricity and the City Manager, who
is an ex- officio member of the Public Utilities Board, for the excellent job done over the years.
The question was then put and the motion carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes:
None. Absent: None.
13/ From the City Attorney, submitting the proposed ordinance relating to Floating Homes and Moorages
Regulations and recommending its favorable consideration.
Mr. Ronald Christensen, who had requested the opportunity to address the Council on the proposed ordinance,
came forward. He said he was speaking for the Aqua Homes Association, representing virtually all of the
aqua residents in Alameda.
Mr. Christensen stated the Association had been following the development of the ordinance. He pointed
out its main purpose was to help the people in floating homes meet a Code, if one should come into being,
realizing there would be regulations for no other reason than population pressures. Living on the water,
the members were more interested than anyone else in having it safe and sanitary. The Association's
purpose also was to make it possible for members to know what would be expected and to comply.
It was stated that at the present time there would not be any of these homes which would comply with the
law, because of the lack of sewage connections. Everyone realized that some work would have to be done
and they were willing to do it.
President La Croix thanked Mr. Christensen for his cooperation in this respect.
The matter was referred to "Introduction of Ordinances ".
14.E From the City Manager, recommending contract be awarded to Melrose Motors, Inc., low bidder, for
furnishing two Station Wagons for the Fire Department, at a net cost of $5,127.20.
Councilman Longaker moved the recommendation be accepted, that the contract be awarded to the designated
firm for furnishing the vehicles specified at the price quoted. Councilman Levy seconded the motion
which carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
16.' President La Croix called attention to an article in the Alameda Times -Star on the subject of
saving the old homes in the City. He stated the City had plans underway whereby it might be possible to
acquire some of the older homes in the future and to establish them as a part of the City's memorabilia.
He recalled the suggestion received at an earlier meeting that this be done. The request had been sent
to the Alameda Chamber of Commerce that it pursue the possibility of retaining some of these older
properties and the City would work closely with the Chamber on the project.
The article had mentioned a particular property at the corner of Bay Street and San Antonio Avenue, with
the suggestion that it be held for a cultural center. President La Croix said he had discussed the
proposal with some of the residents of the neighborhood and questions had been raised as to parking
problems in the residential area.

23.✓ "Ordinance No.
New Series
An Ordinance Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Adding Subdivision
(57) to Section 17 -333 Thereof Relating to All Time No Parking."
(Willow Street, Encinal Avenue to Santa Clara Avenue)
Protesters were invited to speak on the proposed ordinance at this time. The following spoke: Messrs.
Joseph C. Eyring, 1631 Solano Avenue, Berkeley, owner of a four -unit townhouse at 1422 Willow Street,
who said there would be a definite adverse effect on property values if parking was restricted, and
asked that the Council consider one -way streets as an alternative; Fred Roschitsch, 1215 Willow Street,
who complained it would cause a great hardship for the residents who did not have off - street parking to
deprive them of permission to park in front of their homes, and suggested consideration be given to widen-
ing the street; Frank Paula, 1524 Willow Street, who expressed the opinion that a more equitable solution
would be to restrict Willow and Walnut Streets to one -way traffic; George Phillips, 2068 Central Avenue,
who suggested traffic be restricted to one way; Henry Bissett, 2101 Alameda Avenue, Gordon Douglas,
1314 Willow Street, Ora Arnold, 2101 Encinal Avenue, who all suggested one -way traffic be instituted to
eliminate the congestion. Mrs. Bertha M. Custer, owner of the Autumn Rest Home, 2071 San Antonio Avenue,
suggested the street be widened and said she would be willing to give five feet of her property for this
purpose.
City Manager Weller pointed out that, with the new emergency facility at the Alameda Hospital, the number
of ambulance runs in the future would be something in the range of twenty times what they had been in
the past. Moreover, only a fraction of the runs to Alameda Hospital in the past had been in the nature
of relatively high speed emergency type. What was being considered now was a very different kind of
emergency situation.
Mr. Weller said with regard to the suggestion that consideration be given to making Willow Street a one-
way street, no matter which direction it would be made one -way, it might ease the problem of residents
on that street but it would then leave traffic either to or from South Shore with the alternatives of
Park or Grand Street. He suggested a great many more people would be inconvenienced by that type of
traffic pattern. He felt this suggestion was not valid in terms of the total public need.
City Engineer Hanna was requested to comment on the possibility of restricting traffic to one way on
Willow Street north of Clinton Avenue. Mr. Hanna stated the proposal to restrict parking on Willow Street
had originated with the Police Department, which had operated the ambulance in the past. He expressed
the opinion that more emergency vehicles than the ambulance would be involved, such as private cars, fire
resuscitation equipment and police cars, which occasionally pick up people needing immediate attention
and take them to the emergency facility.
Mr. Hanna said there had been thought given to more than just the emergency nature of the street and that
was the actual friction of ordinary two -way traffic. Drivers passing other vehicles on a narrow street,
he said, had tendency to slow down considerably when passing oncoming cars and there was friction when a
parked car was also involved. There were two reasons for the attempt to make more freedom for automobiles -
one, the emergency nature of the Hospital which was just beginning and, two, other automotive traffic.
Mr. Hanna said traffic was increasing and, with parking prohibited, there would be even more cars using
Willow Street because there were some people who hesitated to use the street as it had been in the past
because of the friction involved.
Mr. Hanna remarked that the Engineering Department had made a report some years ago on one -way streets as
to why it would not work. Normally, such a study would start from the premise of Traffic Engineers that
for one -way streets to work out there must be a couplet - one street in one direction and one in the other
direction not too far away. The distance from Chestnut to Willow and from Willow to Walnut Street is
940 feet. Mr. Hanna said it had been concluded after study that it was just not feasible to have one -way
streets so far apart.
Mr. Hanna said he had noticed in the area where parking had been precluded the street was much cleaner,
much nicer to drive and he felt the properties looked better. He agreed adjustments might be necessary,
but in the total appearance and use of Willow Street south of Encinal Avenue, he felt it was considerably
better than formerly. He said his Department had had no complaints from the area of any significance,
since the prohibition of parking south of Encinal Avenue was instituted.
On a question with regard to the possible widening of Willow Street, Mr. Hanna stated the street was
forty feet wide between property lines and twenty -four feet between curbs, so that there would not be a
great deal of sidewalk area to reduce. The costs and difficulty of acquiring land for the purpose also
was discussed.
Mr. George Phillips asked to be heard and expressed the opinion if the proposal was to make the street
a thoroughfare, it should be widened, as in years to come the houses would be torn down and apartments
would be built and more problems would be created.
President La Croix inquired if there would be any advantage to pursuing a one -way program as a trial on
Willow Street to Clinton Avenue only, to see how it would work out before taking action to prohibit
parking, finding out how the public would react and how favorably it would show up as an ingress to the
Hospital in emergency situations. Mr. Hanna stated he had not given such a possibility sufficient
consideration to make a statement on it.
Councilman McCall commented that he had been a proponent for many years of having one -way streets in the
City. He suggested that it might be advisable to request emergency vehicles to stay off Willow Street
altogether and use the main thoroughfares.
President La Croix suggested in deference to the people involved in the problem, the matter should be
investigated further to see just what facts might be available and what the problems would be if the
decision was to make Willow a one -way street, with a report to the Council, and that action be deferred
pending receipt of such a report.
Councilman Levy moved that action be deferred on the ordinance pending further study of the entire
problem, with a report back to the Council at the earliest possible date. Councilman Fore seconded the
motion.
Speaking on the question, Councilman McCall again expressed his disapproval of designating Willow Street
as an emergency street. He felt people should be discouraged from using it and, instead, be encouraged
to use the main arteries to the Hospital, also that the City should have the right to request that the
ambulance company, with which the City had a contract, comply with City regulations in this respect and,
if necessary, to instruct it not to use Willow Street except in cases of extreme emergency.
The question was then put and the motion carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Four. Noes:
Councilman McCall, (1). Absent: None.
BILLS:
24. An itemized List of Claims against the City of Alameda and the Departments thereof, in the total
amount of $72,850.26, was presented to the Council at this meeting.
The List was accompanied by certification from the City Manager that the claims shown were correct.
Councilman Levy moved the bills as itemized in the List of Claims filed with the City Clerk on December 2,
1969, and presented to the City Council at this meeting, be allowed and paid. The motion was seconded
by Councilman McCall and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent:
None.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, GENERAL:
25. Mr. Watson L. Butcher, 1408 Ninth Street, member of the Planning Board but speaking as a private
citizen, requested that the Council consider the construction of a street from the end of Webster Street
to Shore Line Drive where Westline and Otis Drives intersect. He suggested the street be constructed in
a tunnel and the land be filled directly over the top, making a level area from Washington Park to a
sloping beach park. Mr. Butcher suggested the highland property near Nelson's Apartments could be made
into a cultural center. He felt this route would alleviate some of the West End traffic problems.
It was suggested that Mr. Butcher secure a copy of the City Engineer's report dated June 26, 1969, on the
subject of routes between the South Shore and the Posey Tubes.
26. Mr. Gottstein complained that at two bus stops on Webster Street, one near the Tube and one where
Bainbridge Street was formerly located, the street was higher than the curb so that people were forced
to stand in mud to get on the bus. He pleaded again that Webster Street should be raised.
27.7 Mrs. Evelyn Beasley, 1106 Verdemar Drive, urged that something be done to correct the off - street
parking situation, and that the General Plan be implemented.
Mrs. Beasley also complimented Long's on its new store with adequate parking facilities.
28. Mr. Phillips, 2068 Central Avenue, suggested with the Southern Crossing issue still not settled
it might be advisable to hold off on any plan such as put forth by Mr. Butcher for a route from Webster
Street to Shore Line Drive. Mr. Phillips was, informed that the City Engineer was in constant touch with
the State Division of Bay Toll Crossings with regard to plans for the Southern Crossing and had know-
ledge as to what was being programmed.
FILING:
29. Specifications No. PW 12-69-20 - Drainage and Paving at Central Equipment Garage.
30. President La Croix requested that all stand in a moment of silence in observance of the passing
of Mr. Robert A. Worden.
ADJOURNMENT:
31. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the Council adjourned in respect to
the memory of ROBERT A. WORDEN, to assemble in regular session on Tuesday evening, December 16, 1969,
at 7:30 o'clock.
Respectfully submitted,
