Item No. 4 (continued) Elizabeth Stuart, 3329 Melendy Drive, San Carlos, member of the Sequoia Hospital District Board, said that the project is vital to the District and a good faith effort has been made to mitigate the effects on the neighborhood and address the findings. Mrs. Stuart urged the appeal be granted. (Council recessed from 9:30 to 9:40 p.m.) Bert Barrett, 2.72 Upland, Oak Knoll /Edgewood Park Neighborhood Association, said he opposes the project in any shape or form. Mr. Barrett urged that the appeal be denied. Brent Britschgi, 57 Woodsworth, referred to finding (v) regarding conflict with single - family area, stating there is no substantial change relating to the conflict and urged denial of the appeal. Mike Bursak, 1831 Whipple, said that the functional aspects of the building have been preserved, and, therefore, the impact on the neighborhood has not changed. Sidney Marchasin, M.D., 2908 Franciscan Court, San Carlos, Hospital Board member, said that the items removed from the original project would not have any significant effect on the traffic generated by it. Gloria L. Maldonado, 1 31 Alameda de las Pulgas, said she does not believe there is significant change in either the appearance or the use of the building. Mrs. Maldonado urged that the appeal be denied and that the action of the Planning Director be affirmed. Herman Pepper, M.D., 953 Edgewood Road, said that the size reduction is illusory, the use remains the same, and traffic will not be affected by the changes. Dr. Pepper urged that the Planning Director be upheld. Paul Sapsin, 195 Alameda de las Pulgas, urged Council to uphold the Planning Director and deny the appeal. Manuel Sotomayor, 12 Riviera Circle, spoke about the responsibilities of the hospital district board. Nita Spangler, 970 Edgewood Road, urged Council to follow the recommendation of the Planning Director. Richard Daniels, 340 Lodge Drive, San Carlos, spoke in support of the appeal in view of the changes in the project. Gus Pappas, Redwood Shores, suggested that Dr. Weber be asked if it is really not possible to reduce the project further. Dr. Weber (see above) said that his group has done the best possible with the project, but cannot reduce it further and stated there has been misunder- standing as to the financial benefits to the group from the project.
