9 <br /> REPORTS OF CITY MANAGER <br /> 2. Closure of Marina Park Beach <br /> IMM <br /> Report of City Manager 5/15/81 <br /> Reports of Chief of Police 5/4 and 5/5/81 <br /> Letter, Donald G. Warren, President, Redwood <br /> Shores, Inc. 4/24/81 <br /> City Manager Fales recommended that the Council <br /> accede to the request of Redwood Shores, Inc. to <br /> rescind the requirement attached to the Tentative <br /> Map approval of the original Marina Park <br /> subdivision, to allow public use of the private <br /> beach until alternate facilities were provided. <br /> He indicated that, assuming approval of this <br /> request, staff will bring back to Council a <br /> recommendation at a later time by which the <br /> problem of the restroom at this location can be <br /> solved as well. <br /> Gregg Doran, 510 Marlin Drive, related his <br /> experience following a newspaper report, of <br /> receiving a number of phone calls from residents <br /> who were concerned that if the beach is closed, <br /> those who are creating the problems at Marina Park <br /> Beach, and who apparently are non-residents of <br /> Redwood City, will find the only other real park <br /> in the interior of Redwood Shores. <br /> Pete Gruchala, 573 Marlin Court, also expressed <br /> concern regarding the interior park and suggested <br /> that it be cordoned off or patrolled. <br /> ems Don Warren, representing Redwood Shores, Inc. <br /> referred to his letter requesting the closure and <br /> emphasized that it has always been the intent to <br /> iimer <br /> eventually close the beach when another facility <br /> became available, but that if it could be an asset <br /> to serve the residents of Redwood City, they would <br /> not want to close it at this time; however, the <br /> situation has become uncontrollable and at least <br /> 90% of those who use the beach are not residents; <br /> that it is a private beach for which use is by <br /> permission of the owners, who are responsible for <br /> its maintenance and for security patrol, as well <br /> as for any liability connected with the beach. He <br /> urged that the Council rescind the condition of <br /> the Tentative Map approval to allow closure of the <br /> beach. <br /> Title read.
