There were no written protests. Mr. Louis Querantes, <br />1516 Union Avenue, stated that he.was not against the improvements. He wanted to knew if they were <br />including a larger water main and sewer mains in the event the neighborhood is rezoned R -3-G. The <br />Mayor stated.that the proposed water improvemtns were enlarged. Water Superintendent Winter stated <br />that the improvements will be adequate. Councilman Granger stated that the improvement project had <br />nothing to do with the re;oning and the master use plan. <br />Mr. Wayne Sherwood, 1710 Kentfield Avenue, wanted to know if it was normal procedue to charge the <br />engineering costs to the district. The answer was yes. The City Attorney stated that the City has <br />always done this. Mr. Jain stated that there wouldn't be any new sewer mains installed in this <br />project; however, there will be some new sewer laterals. Mrs. Davis, corner Hudson and Palm, asked if <br />she would have to pay for impropembnts on Palm Avenue as she has already paid for improvemtna on <br />Hudson Street. Mr. Jain explained the process of assessing corner lots. This was followed by discussion. <br />James Knecht, Valeta Road, asked what the width of Valeta Road would be. Mr. Jain stated that there <br />Vould be.a 50' right-of-way with 40' of paving for the street. . <br />Councilman Weiss raied the question again as to whether or not the present sewers would be adequate to <br />take care of the area in the event the area is rezoned R -3-G. The Mayor announced that sewers were not <br />being considered. Attorney Lebsack stated that it would be in order for the Council to overrule the <br />protests and.close the public hearing. <br />Councilman Spillers moved that the public hearing be closed. Councilman Stout stated that he was not <br />in favor of proceeding with this because he did not feel that the people were notified fully in regard <br />to,this public hearing tonight. He feels that this chage of R -3-G has some bearing.on the situation. <br />This was followed by discussion. Councilman Weiss was not in favor of one week or two weeks delay to <br />determine whether or not thq land use plan has any effect on this project. Mr. Jain stated that the <br />present sewer line is adequate and maybe at some later date they may need to add a trunk line. Mr. <br />Jain also stated that the cost would be out of line to what the people could afford if they enlargened <br />the sewer lines at the present time. He did,not recommend holding this project up for further consideration <br />of the sewer lines. Mr. Knecht complained about the drainage problem and was of the opinion that <br />since all this waster come of outlying areas that the whole of Redwood City should be assessed for the <br />drainage and not just their area. He was against the drainage and wanted to know if there was any way <br />of stopping this part of the procedings. The Mayor stated that this had nothing to do with this <br />hearing but would be considered at the pbulic hearing on April 29th. This was followed by discussion. <br />Councilman Spillers moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Councilman Herkner* This was <br />again followed by discussion. Councilman Granger wanted to know why they were closing this public <br />hearing. Mr. Lebsack stated that this was the only public hearing on the matter of debt limitation. <br />If this did not pass by a 6/7 vote, then the whole proceeding would have to start all over. The motion <br />darried on roll call.
