Item No. 1 (continued) Planning Director Patterson presented an overhead of the site and described the proposed amendment to Condition 7 and the new Condition 10 referred to in the subject report. Mr. Patterson replied to questions concerning the feasibility of a roadway behind the properties fronting East Bayshore, the improvements to traffic a bridge over Redwood Creek would offer, plans and priorities which exist for construction of such a bridge, and the proposed traffic improvements to be constructed at the expense of the applicant. Mayor Claire declared the public hearing open at 8:02 p.m. Mario Biaqi, 1566 Hudson Street, representing Peter Uccelli, the appellant, challenged the peak hour figures on pages 26 and 27 of the BKF study and those for movement of tr aff i c from the left t urn lane into the theatre parking lot. Mr. Biagi also disagreed with the expectation that some 549 of the theatre complex audience would come from the south, suggesting population is heavier north of Redwood City and asked for a critique of the BKF study by the Traffic Engineer. Mr. Biagi urged that the appeal be granted and the Use Permit denied until the traffic problems associated with it are solved. George Corey, Millbrae, attorney representing Syufy Enterprises, presented the subject BKF study, stating that it covers the previously expressed concerns of Council relating to staggering movie times, use of safety equipment on East Bays hore and impact of existing and anticipated build-out in the area. Mr. Corey referred to a copy of the March 4, 1988 letter to him from BCDC regarding the suitability of placing a road at the rear of the subject property and suggesting it is unlikely any such road would be approved . (Council recessed from 8:25 to 8:32 p.m.) Carl McGuire, Traffic Engineer, BKF, presented overheads about which concern has been expressed and commented on the attempt to mitigate problems, using pages 10, 11 , 31 and 34 of the report and an aerial photo. Jack Myhill, General Manager of Syufy Enterprises, referred to the March 4, 1988 letter from BCDC and described his methods of determining costs for a rear roadway. Mr. Myhill used a graph to display the one -hour and ten minute spread of movie starting times in the theatres and a map to indicate the source of the prospective audience according to the movie distribution zones used in the industry. In response to question, Mr. Corey said that the applicant is familiar with all of the proposed conditions of the Use Permit and agrees to accept them. He requested that future developers who will benefit from the improvements be required to reimburse his client by paying a proportionate share when they develop. City Attorney Schri cker advised that legal issues are involved with the validity of such a reimbursement agreement, since the courts have held such payments to be assessments which require full assessment hearings.
