171 he had attended in Los Angeles recently . He also felt that Redwood Shores offered an oppor- tunity to reverse the balance in terms of popu- lation development , segregation and quality of schools , and felt that social factors should be considered along with environmental factors . Mr . Clay Shank , 540 Compass Drive , President of Redwood Shores Homeowners Association , presented a prepared statement ( for full text , see City Clerk ' s file - Housing Concerns ) , which indicated that Redwood Shores meant to some a vital new community with much promise for some , while to others it meant an opportunity to tamper and experiment , an example of the latter being the report of the "Citizens Development Program for Redwood Shores " . The Homeowners Association felt that untested ideas be avoided , or certainly cautiously considered prior to any implemen- tation . His statement responded to seveal areas where the Association disagreed , one being Bair Island , for its commercial/industrial potential , enhancement of Port of Redwood City, and for its physical connection of Redwood Shores with the rest of Redwood City . Shoretown , it was felt , was best left to expert examin- ation by appropriate City agencies and the developer . Finally , it was recommended that Redwood City should not undertake to accept a disproportionate share of the County ' s burden if it is to assume a policy of subsidizing low and moderate income housing . Mrs . Pat Barrentine , 40 Carmel Lane , Committee for Green Foothills , spoke from a prepared state- ment ( for full text , see City Clerk ' s file - Housing Concerns ) , which responded to recommendations in the Land for People report . They felt the developer should be required to pay full cost of improvements . They questioned advisability of developing Bair Island , and therefore supported that recommendation in Land for People report . They had reservations about the development of commercial and industrial areas . They felt City Council should incorporate the recommendations of the Seismic Advisory Board into the City Code . Committee believed that the project should produce a balanced community , and that need for low income housing throughout Redwood City should be recognized . Mayor Keckley commended the Land for People group for its recommendations and felt they merited close study . Mr . Jim Cohn , 620 Stanford , read a printed flier of the Redwood City Housing Group , directed at Mobil Estates , suggesting they provide low and moderate income housing ( for full text , see City Clerk ' s file - Housing Concerns ) . Elton Richardson , 1707 Broadway , Board Member of Mid -Peninsula Citizens for Fair Housing, read a prepared statement ( for full text , see City Clerk ' s file - Housing Concerns ) , expressing strong support for the "Citizens ' Development Program for Redwood Shores " , and suggesting that Redwood Shores should include significant number of subsidized dwellings . Peter Sears , 1871 Cordilleras , indicated he felt the report was basically sound , and disagreed only with respect to leasing of industrial sites . He felt that individuals as well as groups should assume the responsibility for keeping the world clean, and recommended that sewage treatment plants be no less than tertiary , that disposals should not be made in the ocean , and that developer should be responsible for a complete recycling center . Dora Perry , Redwood Shores , spoke in opposition to the proposal , and expressed the belief that compar- ative low income housing already existed in Redwood Shores . 9/18/72 Reg . Mtg .
