He <br />noted that there was a specific request made to the Council to get more units at the <br />mall, which staff is pursuing. He added that he will be attending a meeting tomorrow <br />with BART representatives to discuss their thinking, and their alternatives exceed what <br />has been discussed with staff in terms of residential. <br /> <br />Chair Narum inquired if there were any further discussion about additional units on the <br />CarrAmerica site beyond what the Task Force has. <br /> <br />Mr. Dolan replied that this is another ongoing dialogue. <br /> <br />Chair Narum inquired if this could also be a project alternative like the Auf der Maur <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Dolan said yes.
