Item No. 1 (continued) Mrs. Hildebrand advised that two of the protests were just received and none have been verified as to whether or not the authors are property owners and /or registered voters. Affidavits of Publication of Notice of Hearing and of Posting are on file. Mr. Schricker explained that both owners and residents are represented with regard to the annexation but that an evaluation concerning the number of registered voters and value of property will have to be made. In response to questions, Mr. Schricker said that the request to annex the lots next to the Redwood Clinic property was made by LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) probably to include contiguous properties in the land proposed to be annexed, but the City must proceed as requested, although it might be possible to ask LAFCO to reconsider. Mayor Stangel declared the public hearing open at 8:03 p.m. Frank Hanniq, Redwood Medical Clinic, 1125 Marshall, introduced Robert Bernstein to make a presentation for the Clinic. Robert Bernstein, architect, 2600 East Bayshore Road, East Palo Alto, representing Redwood Medical Clinic, emphasized that his client has nothing to do with the Sequoia Hospital which is concerned with construc- tion of a parking lot nearby also. Mr. Bernstein described the Clinic property, noting that it would be used during business hours only, with all access internal and that plans have been shown to neighbors which indicate that the proposed parking lot will not intrude upon their views. Mr. Bernstein used slide projections to illustrate his remarks and replied to questions concerning number of employees, landscaping and use of the lot. In response to question, Mr. Hannig said that the Clinic is providing for employee parking which should take many cars off the residential streets and called attention to the conditions which would have to be met if the lot is constructed. Eldon Ellis, M.D., member of the partnership of Redwood Medical Clinic, stated that the Clinic has a record of acting responsibly toward neighbors and in the City and urged approval of the subject proposed annexation. Harold Johnson, M.D., Chairman of Redwood Medical Clinic, described service provided to the area and urged approval of the proposed annexation and construction of the parking lot to alleviate present parking difficulties. Larry Lane, 250 Upland, stated he opposes the annexation because he does not believe that only a parking lot is planned for the property, but that the Clinic plans to expand. Mr. Lane said he has lived in his home for five months, and replied to questions indicating that he would oppose the annexation even if his own and the other residential properties were not part of it. Mr. Lane suggested the Clinic should build elsewhere. Reg.Mtg. 11/7/83 Page 2 MINUTE BOOK NO. 44 Page No. 267
