every bit of professional caution to design the project within the county health and state standards. Mr. Rodriguez stated that this project had been significantly downsized from the original project, even though the developers had a right to keep it at its original size, 1,250,00 square feet. Mr. Rodriguez stated that the developer concurred with the staff report as to the traffic assessment district and with the Planning Commission except for two points: the shuttle service for this site doesn't seem appropriate as other sites that have shuttle service are much larger or are single tenant use. The other issues involve lights and their maintenance, and there are no roads that will be dedicated to the City. Shirley Gernler, 363 Quay Lane, Redwood City, stated she agreed with the appellants, and stated she had a concern about the fire hazards that might arise and the high density traffic.

Director of Public Health and Environmental Services Zamora stated that seven years ago he spoke to the Council and asked that the City enter into a health risk assessment for Westport due to allegations of hazardous waste on the site, and the project was held in abeyance for two years while the risk assessment was done. Mr. Zamora introduced Dr. Scott Morrow, Health Officer and Medical Director for the County, and Dean Peterson, Solid Waste Program Manager, San Mateo Office of Environmental Health. Mr. Peterson described the process of building on a site with a cap, how additional soil is placed on top and all improvements are done above the cap. Mr. Peterson stated that there might be utilities put into the cap, but the building plans had not been submitted to the County for review at this point. In answer to Council questions, Steve Ripple, ChemRisk consultant, described the methodology and testing done on the materials below the cap, and stated that the issue from a health risk standpoint is what can migrate out of the site. Mr. Ripple stated that those materials inside and stable will be less likely to contact people, and ChemRisk's confidence about building on the site comes from the fact they took a lot of soil Regular Meeting Minutes MINUTE BOOK NO. 53 January 16, 1995 Page No. 022 Page 13
