351 In response to question by Mayor Keckley , Mr , Cook indicated that his firm recommended Alternate #3 . He advised that all alternates would appear in the Environmental Impact Report . Responding to question by Councilman Rhodes , Mr . Cook noted that while there had been no damage due to the exceptional rainy winter in the upper reaches of the creek, some had been experienced in the lower reaches , particularly from Industrial Road to Bayshore , and he suggested that the two cities get together with the Divi- sion of Highways with respect to what was happening on the other side of Bayshore . Part of the problem was due to lack of maintenance in the lower reaches , resulting in flooding around Bayshore Freeway . Councilman Rhodes reported that the manager of Circle Star Theater had brought to his atten- tion the matter of eroding of that property . Mr . Cook responded that Alternate #3 would correct that problem . The fact that this project was part of the bond issue program was noted , and Councilman Henderson felt that such being the case , it should be treated in the same manner as the previous bond projects . She noted that most of the residential properties involved were within the Redwood City portion , and felt that it was important to take the alternate considered to be the most appropriate , and study the project area lot by lot . She indicated that she believed Alternate #3 had the best potential for pro- tecting the environment , and she felt that the residents concerned should be given the opportunity to know what was being considered , before Council considers final plans and specifications for the project . In response to question by City Manager , Mr . Cook advised that the proposals would be referred to the San Carlos and Redwood City Planning Commissions to make an environmental determination . Discussion followed , concerning appropriate means of making those involved aware of the proposed project , and it was suggested this could be made part of the scope of work in preparation of the Environmental Impact Report . City Manager indicated that San Carlos would select the firm to prepare the report , but the scope would be subject to agreement between the two cities . Mr . Cook suggested that Council might consider how they wish the hearings to be held , whether in San Carlos alone , or duplicate hearings in Redwood City . Councilman Henderson felt that Edison School would be very appro- priate as a location for the hearings , being adjacent to the project site . City Attorney indicated there had been some discussions by his staff with respect to this matter , and alternatives suggested including joint meet- ing by the two Commissions , or separate meetings of the Commissions , or a third alternative , of hearings by San Carlos , only . City Manager indicated that he favored the two Commissions meeting jointly in the neighborhood . 4/16/73 Reg . Mtg .
