Council Member Ira stated that on such a warm day throughout the area, he is thankful for living <br /> in Redwood City and reiterated that this is a special place in the Bay Area. <br /> <br /> Jane Steward quoted articles from various newspapers regarding noticing surrounding neighbors <br /> of proposed development. She read her suggested addition to the already existing ordinances to <br /> control the elements in any plan to redevelop liveaboard sites at any marina in Redwood City. <br /> <br /> Vice Mayor Claire stated the Council did not adopt an ordinance regarding Docktown Marina <br /> but instead, is still considering code issues pertaining to the houseboats at the Marina. He further <br /> stated Redwood City has had a notification clause that calls for notification to adjacent property <br /> owners of any property changes in the area. <br /> <br /> Alexander Montalvo stated that within 48 hours his group obtained 1,992 signatures of <br /> community residents who empathize, sympathize or agree with the Peninsula Marina group's <br /> petition regarding the overbuilding of the baylands. He further stated that this could also be put <br /> in a form of an initiative towards a moratorium against further construction on the baylands. Mr. <br /> Montalvo submitted the signatures for the record. <br /> <br /> Susan Ledingham stated she is seeking the Council and Glenborough-Pauls' understanding and <br /> compassion in helping the people of the Bay Area, especially, those of Redwood City and the <br /> Peninsula Marina in their situation. She further stated that the impact in every aspect would <br /> affect everyone and its surroundings. <br /> <br /> Mayor Ruskin clarified that the question he responded to regarding the towing of a boat related <br /> to the citizen's belief that the boat had been illegally towed. That being the case, one would then <br /> need to pursue the matter with the Police Department, as the issue would then require <br /> investigation into possible criminal activity. <br /> <br /> Gayle A.
