Item No. 2 (continued) Larry Lane, 250 Upland Road, opposed granting of the Use Permit because he believes it is commercial activity in a residential zone, noting that the Clinic owns other property in the area and neighbors fear expansion. In response to question, Mr. Lane acknowledged that the Clinic made a presentation to neighbors of their plans for increased parking before he moved there a year ago. Randy Bocci, 1365 Edgewood Road, said he is building a house on the parcel adjacent to the Clinic and they were not cooperative about the flooding conditions on his property which involved runoff from their property above him. He stated he opposes the proposed resolution because drainage problems may increase. Mr. Addiego stated for the record that if the proposed development creates a change in storm drain systems, the Clinic will be required to correct it, but that the developer is not required to improve the situation elsewhere or correct any existing problems which, in any case, have not been made known to the City, noting there should be less storm water and a better drainage situation if the property is developed. Jeff Wharton, 112 Circle Road, opposed the granting of the Use Permit and any expansion of the Clinic, stating there is too much on- street parking by Clinic employees during the day. Robert Bernstein, Bernstein, Foug & Associates, Palo Alto, architect for the Clinic, read a summary of Clinic plans and used a wall map to describe them. Mr. Bernstein presented slides indicating how the parking structure would be integrated into the site, the sight -lines from nearby properties, the proposed landscaping and noted that all employees will be required to use the new parking spaces rather than the neighborhood streets. He said that Clinic projections of anticipated use until 1990 indicate more parking will be provided than will be needed or required. Mr. Bernstein replied to questions stating that the Clinic had not even considered construction of the 35 foot high structure of the maximum size now allowed on the property. Stan Kangas, Brian - Kangas -Foulk & Associates, civil engineers retained by the Clinic, reported they are preparing a study on drainage in order to eliminate problems, noting water will be directed into an improved system, with a reduced amount going downhill than at present. Discussion followed and Mr. Kangas, Mr. Addiego, and Mr. Schricker replied to questions and commented concerning whether problems might be created below.at Alameda de las Pulgas and on the age of the storm drain system and needs for replacements and repairs. Tom Hallum, Nevada Street, Redwood Medical Clinic, replied to question concerning personnel plans of the Clinic and the fact that employees now parking in the neighborhood will be required to park in the new structure. He said that noise by gardeners has greatly decreased since they have been required to use leaf blowers only twice a week at certain specified times in response to neigborhood complaints.
