He noted that San Francisco has taken the <br />Commission's concerns and requests for information seriously, and he requested that the Commission <br />forward this project to the City Council for its review. <br /> <br />Matthew Morrison, 5581-A Sonoma Drive, commented on possible radionuclides on the Bernal <br />property and stated if any of the property is contaminated, it would significantly change the project. He <br />expressed concern with approving any portion of the project until additional analysis is performed. He <br />commented on a memorandum received from the California Department of Health Services relating to <br />the San Francisco Bernal property. In conclusion, he noted that due to recent information received <br />concerning possible radionuclides on the property, the Commission should not certify the EIR at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Mr. Swift commented that an analysis of the whole site would be required before any part of the project <br />is commenced. <br /> <br />Brian Arkin, 3740 Newton Way, noted that approval of this project constitutes one of the most important <br />projects the City has undertaken. He requested that the Commission analyze whether this project is the <br />most appropriate use for this land for the community and the benefits offered. He noted his desire for all <br />projects in the area paying a higher traffic mitigation fee to avoid residents paying taxes to mitigate <br />problems caused by development. Further, that funding for schools get reimbursed through the State. In <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Page 3 June 28, 1999 <br /> <br /> <br />
