NNW Gregg Doran, 510 Marlin, President, Redwood Shores Homeowners Association, reported he has read the use permit. Mr. Doran suggested the proposed rezoning be used as a tool to learn the intentions of San Carlos with regard to enfor- cing use permit conditions and urged Council to reverse the Planning Commission and deny the subject application. Mayor Biagi invited anyone else who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M/S: Leipzig/Bury to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously and public hearing closed at 10:25 p.m. In response to question, Planning Director Schroeter reported that the EIR for the transfer station and all ancillary facilities along with 18 pages devoted to traffic, was prepared in 1976 by an outside consultant and present growth and development were anticipated in the report. Discussion followed and Mr. Kelly, Mr. Hansen and Lino Valbusa of BFI replied to questions relating to hours of operation, the height of the buildings, the fact that the facility would have to meet the health standards of several agencies, and the arrangements for hauling refuse to Ox Mountain. Mr. Kelly received permission to state for the record that Hospital Linens established their business on the present site after the adjacent site was acquired by BFI and that Hospital Linens protested the application for use permit to construct the transfer station. Also, the Airport Land Use Committee has considered whether any air safety hazards would be created and have approved the location. In response to question relating to the position of Mobil (Redwood Shores, Inc.) Robert Costello, attorney representing Redwood Shores, Inc., advised that Mobil had refrained from opposing the application to construct the transfer rrrli station because of the obligation to do so relating to a Leslie Properties agreement, but does not now feel obligated to refrain and is opposed to the subject application to rezone. Councilman Leipzig stated for the record that she believes sufficiently sophisticated energy recovery systems exist which make landfill operations obsolete. Councilman Leipzig uged the Solid Waste Board to attempt to use the approximately nine-acre parcel adjoining the Marsh Road dump site in Menlo Park for about two years while a more desirable modern energy-saving resource recovery system is developed to serve the South County. Discussion followed concerning whether the nine-acre site could be obtained and used; the need for a less temporary solution; the interest of Council in energy recovery on a long term basis; and the engineering at Ox Mountain to avoid damage to that area.
