Nita Spangler stated she had been a resident since 1944 and that this subject came up periodically . She indicated objection to developing the property , and felt it should be closed to motorized traffic now . She felt it should be used but not developed for rec - reation purposes , other than a simple path for joggers and hikers . Tom Delph , 91 Bradshaw Terrace , stated his property backed against the Hetch-Hetchy and indicated a problem with motorcycle and auto traffic in the right of way near the shopping center at Oak Knoll . He felt a decision should be made by the City so either the property would be tied up by agreement , or the property owners could get permits so that the traffic could be stopped . Lois Ragnacci , 1557 Fernside , indicated they chose the property because of the buffer zone it provided . She indicated that she opposed development . Lillian Semeit spoke of the deterioration in Stulsaft Park, and felt that if City is in- terested in developing a park , it should work on restoring Stulsaft . Diane Pound , 502 Neptune Drive , advised she was chairman of the Park and Recreation committee that conducted the study , and wanted to make clear that this was simply a concept . She noted that the committee did approach the residents , and did get responses , and felt that some of the concerns expressed were such that should be considered later , in a public hearing . Mayor Keckley responded that Council recognized this was just the first "broad brush- stroke " and noted that one of the first concerns of Council was the involvement of the residents in the proposal . Joanne Weintraub , 3255 Oak Knoll Drive , advised their property is also on the Hetch-Hetchy, and that she had also served on the committee for the study . She indicated their concern was to eliminate some of the existing problems , such as motorcycles , weeds , dust , etc . , by making improve- ments , and not to make a nuisance for the neigh- borhood . She expressed the hope that anyone with objections would come forward and make their con- cerns known . Councilman Henderson felt the presentation was interesting , and noted that it had come at Council ' s request . She felt that with a dearth of useable open space in Redwood City , there was still an opportunity to make open space available to the public by use of Hetch-Hetchy . Councilman Henderson moved to make proposed Hetch-Hetchy right of way development a subject of consideration in the Capital Improvement Budget , seconded by Councilman Norris and carried .
