Minutes of the Continued Planning Commission Meetinq of 8/27/86 <br />Held on 9/3/86 <br />Residential development. Commissioner Wellman asked if <br />Mr. Curtin had read what staff had said regarding Caltrans <br />comments on safety. Mr. Curtin acknowledged that he has read <br />them. <br />Commissioner Berger asked to be shown the Alviso Adobe on the <br />map. Mr. Curtin pointed this out. <br />Don Rolph, Land Planner, representing TMI, asked the purpose of a <br />park on the 32 acre site (which is actually 22 acres). There is <br />no need of parks in this area. Even if the interchange is put <br />in, it will only take six-eight acres. For the rest of the area <br />to be parks is inappropriate. If a park is needed, it should be <br />a neighborhood-type park. <br />Commissioner Michelotti asked if a park was being proposed or was <br />the property just being set aside for public use. Mr. Lee said <br />that it would be hard to say inasmuch as there is no dimensions <br />or plans available at this time. Further the land would serve as <br />a buffer to the off-ramp. <br />Ilene Weinreb, Bay Area Council, felt that noise barriers could <br />be used to mitigate concerns relating high noise levels in an <br />effort to promote housing. A park is not ideal next to a freeway <br />in her opinion. <br />Chairman Lindsey supported CFA and felt the 32 acres next to the <br />freeway should be for public use such as a park inasmuch as it is <br />next to a freeway interchange. Commissioner Innes said this area <br />can go two-three homes per acre, but did not feel eight-nine was <br />appropriate. Commissioner Michelotti stated perhaps with regard <br />to the small piece of property, it should be looked at for High <br />Density at the time there is a specific plan and freeway. <br />Vote: Low Density Residential for the entire parcel, minus the <br />acreage for the adobe park, with the interchange as <br />proposed by Caltrans. The property shall have a <br />specific plan. 5-0 <br />Parcel 5, 7, and 8 - San Francisco Water Department <br />Mr. Lee presented the staff report recommending the property be <br />designated as CFA. <br />Martin Inderbitzen, 62 West Neal, represented SFWD. He <br />congratulated staff on the preparation of the General Plan. They <br />supported either alternative presented. <br />Ilene Weinreb, Bay Area Council, supported Medium or High Density <br />Residential for the property. <br />Commissioner Innes said he could support CFA until a specific <br />plan was presented. He would like to see a golf course on the <br />property. Chairman Lindsey indicated he agrees with Commissioner <br />Innes and Mr. Inderbitzen. <br />- 10 - <br /> <br />
