Item No. 1 (continued) In response to question, Mr. Addiego said that there are publicly maintained lines in the first unit of Seaport Centre, but that they are in a maintenance district assessment district so that funds are collected for the public maintenance. Mayor Claire invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M /S: Britschgi /Greenalch to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously by voice vote and the public hearing closed at 9:12 p.m. In response to request to do so, Mr. Levin stated for the record that he is in agreement with Planning Commission Conditions D.2. (storm drains), E.8. (sewer) and the part of F.2. relating to water line placement and that the only item presently at issue relates to the part of F.2. regarding fire hydrant runs. M /S: Britschgi/ that the subject appeal relating to the fire hydrant runs condition be denied. The motion failed for lack of a second. M /S: Chandler /Bury to reverse the decision and grant the subject appeal with the fire hydrant runs to be public and maintained as a public facility. AMENDMENT: At the request of Councilman Greenalch, and with the consent of his second, Vice Mayor Chandler agreed to amend his motion to state that the fire hydrant runs shall be public and designed and constructed according to the specifications of the City Engineer and maintained by the City of Redwood City, provided proper easements are granted to the City. AMENDMENT: At the request of his second, Vice Mayor Chandler also accepted an amendment to his motion to state that the design of the water line be reconsidered according to the recommendations of the City Engineer with regard to length and a more direct connection. FINDING: and that the following finding is made, "The public health, safety and necessity require that the fire hydrant runs (supply lines) and hydrants for the Seaport Centre Unit 3 Subdivision shall be publicly owned, maintained and repaired, in that the improvements to be served thereby are similar in location and use to those traditionally served by public facilities, that is, i.e., will be situated on separately subdivided parcels of land and will attract relatively large groups of people; likewise, the proposed development does not lend itself to private preventative maintenance of such facilities, since no provision has been made for a landowner association or other permanent organization to provide such maintenance." Mayor Claire stated for the record that he will vote against the motion, because he would prefer to give the matter more study. Reg.Mtg. 2/2/87 MINUTE BOOK NO. 47 Page 3 Page No. 29
