Written Communications (continued) 2. Letter from Richard K. Hulme, Project Manager, Lincoln Property Company dated June 14, 1985, requesting modification of City's standard specifications for construction of curb and gutter to Seaport Centre Project, to allow the extrusion method. City Manager Smith advised that the project is not typical in that the development is on bay mud that has not been preconditioned, and there is a strong likelihood of damage. Director of Public Works Addiego stated that his experience with this method has been bad, but that he is still evaluating the request. M /S: Stangel /Mosher to refer the request to staff. Carried unanimously by voice vote. MINUTE ORDER NO. 85 -87 3. Letter from Atherwood Neighborhood Association, c/o Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sikora, 165 Atherwood Avenue, dated June 14, 1985, requesting Council intervention regarding D.K. Development's Park Atherton project. Pat Sikora, 165 Atherwood Avenue, described in detail the progress of the project, and the concerns of the neighboring residents regarding removal of trees, and apparent deviation by the developer from a condition of approval by the Planning Commission regarding construction of a seven -foot precast concrete wall separating the project and the Atherwood area. Betty Welch, 139 Atherwood Avenue, also expressed concern regarding need for an acoustical wall. M /S: Claire/Mosher to refer the matter to staff. Mayor Britschgi suggested that a motion might not be necessary, since staff is already working on the situation. Planning Director Schroeter advised that he had received the acoustical report back today, and according to that report, regardless of the thickness of the concrete, if it is seven feet high, the noise will be attenuated to the same degree. City Manager Smith advised that staff will respond point by point to the letter from Atherwood Neighborhood Association. MOTION WITHDRAWN: Councilman Claire, with consent of his second, withdrew his motion. GENERAL Mayor Britschgi called attention to the fact that the old Safeway Store property still remains an eyesore, and thought the building should be demolished and the costs placed as a lien against the property owner. City Attorney Schricker recommended first that a team investigation be made because it is necessary to have sufficient grounds prior to any abatement proceedings.
