PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Items 2.a and 2.b (continued) John Murray, 568 Seahorse Lane, acknowledged that Redwood Shores did not oppose the application for use permit for a transfer station when the hearing was held by San Carlos, but suggested that a smaller structure would have to be built if Redwood City does not allow the subject property to be used for transfer station related purpose. Mr. Murray suggested that in acting as the Board of ti Director of GID 1-64, the Council should oppose the proposed low use of the land and that perhaps a land trade could be arranged with the port to allow the station there. Mickey McDaniel, 519 Skiff Circle, said he understands that a transfer station will be constructed in San Carlos adjacent to the subject property and reported that because of his examination of the condition of the station in Pacifica, he opposes similar activity at Redwood Shores. (Council recessed from 9:35 to 9:45 p.m.) Richard Menzell, representing Hospital Linens, 333 Shoreway Road, San Carlos, neighbor of the prospective transfer station, said that his firm provides linens to nine constituent hospitals, and aseptic controls are exacting. Mr. Menzell described his operation and suggested ambient outside air may create problems. He said that possibly BFI would be unable to construct a transfer station if Redwood City did not grant the application and urged Council to reject it. In response to questions, Mr. Menzell said that it did not occur to him to ask the opinion of the health agencies which regulate his business regarding the site of the transfer station; that he does not recall when he first learned of its location; that he cannot speak for the health agencies which regulate and monitor his business; that he did not make a presentation before the City of San Carlos with regard to the application for the use permit for the transfer �, station; and that he has experienced problems in meeting cleanliness standards because of flies and rodents. rnl Discussion followed and Mr. Menzell commented concerning the directions of the prevailing winds in relation to his building and toward Redwood Shores. Charles Eicholtz, 19 Admiralty Place, representing Seabridge Community Association, advised that his Association had adopted a resolution opposing the rezoning of the subject 8.6 acre parcel. Mr. Eicholtz suggested that if the City does not grant the application making it possible for the property to be used for parking, that BFI will not find it economically feasible to construct the transfer station. Lawrence C. Smith, 20 Admiralty Place, stated that the north end of the San Carlos airport runway points into the subject area, and since seagulls will be attracted to the station site, an air safety hazard will be created. Charles Evans, 531 Anchor Circle, said he did not live here at the time San CatLos granted the application to build the transfer station and reported his observations of the South San Francisco transfer station indicate such a station will be undesirable. Mr. Evans urged Council members to meet with representatives of San Carlos to attempt to remove the threat of construction of a transfer station. John Ingenthrom, 560 Cringle Drive, stated he has a business at Holly and Industrial Roads and expressed concern about a potential traffic problem there. Mr. Ingenthrom urged Council to deny the application. John Murphy, 421 Luff Lane, suggested that a use permit would not be required for the proposed "IR" District. Assistant City Attorney Maloney advised that the City has the authority and right to require a use permit for any building constructed on that site for integrated use with a transfer station in San Carlos. Mr. Murphy commented concerning the probable size of the transfer station buildings. ind Reg.Mtg. 8/24/81 Page 5 d2, t/ s f
