3. Public Hearing - Appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission to approve the application of M. H. Podell Company to amend previously approved Planned Development Permit and Tentative Map to increase number of units in Phase II, Pelican Cove Condominium from 76 to 94, 400 Marine World Parkway - Michael F. Galligan, appellant Planning Commission record transmitted 3/11/83 Appeal of M. Galligan and others (30 units) filed 2/22/83; letter amendment 2/23/83 Letters (12 units) opposing Appeal - various dates Planning Director Schroeter stated that the total number of units now approved by the Planning Commission for the subject property is 90. City Attorney Schricker reported that the appellant, Michael Galligan, had telephoned to advise that he cannot be present because of a schedule conflict, but his absence does not suggest any lack of interest in pursuing the subject appeal. Mr. Schricker also stated that the only issue before Council for consideration is the propriety of the Planning Commission in granting the Planned Development Permit (PDP). Vice Mayor Britschgi declared the public hearing open at 7:44 p.m. Affidavits of Publication of Notice of Hearing and of Mailing were reported on file. Debra Meagher, 64 Cove Lane, distributed a letter dated March 21, 1983 from Michael F. Galligan, appellant. (Exhibit A) Colleen Fravert, 55 Cove Lane, stated she prefers that the Pelican Cove development remain as originally planned because she prefers the family -type atmosphere more likely to result from a larger number of two - bedroom units. Ms. Fravert said she is concerned about overuse of facilities by an increase in numbers of one - bedroom units, and also that utilities bills for the two phases will be shared, although the first phase has solar water heating and the second phase will have more expensive gas heat. Bruce Albin, 569 Compass Drive, suggested the PDP approved by the Planning Commission works against the original General Plan for Redwood Shores. Michael Pollano, 34 Cove Lane, presented a three -page statement entitled "Pelican Cove Cost Estimates" (Exhibit B), described the sources of his figures and commented concerning his estimate of profit to the developer. Mr. Pollano replied to questions and commented concerning his estimates. Les Neville, 36 Cove Lane, stated that when he purchased a unit in Pelican Cove development Phase I, he anticipated the full development would be as described at that time and suggested it would be difficult to sell a one - bedroom unit now because of the competition that would be presented by newer one - bedroom units.
