Principal Planner Passinisi stated for the record that Gossamer Cove did send a letter directed to the City Council, the Planning staff did not receive the letter and it did not get included. He further stated that the issues in the letter had been addressed in the EIR. Patricia Dixon stated that parking will be a definite problem. She stated that during the Bayfront Task Force meetings, at no time was a church discussed. Her concern is that a potentially deserted building will result due to there not being permanent parking. Her final concern related to emissions not being considered in the EIR. She stated a lot more study must be performed. Council Member Jordan and Principal Passinisi agreed that the Committee that rezoned the tidal plan zones included a church in the permitted uses. David Kennedy stated his credentials and that he is a resident of Redwood Shores and a member of RSOA. As a member of the Fully Alive Real Estate Committee, he was asked to review the proposed agreement prepared by RSOA. The problem he expounded on was that should the church enter into the agreement, it would violate the loan agreement and it would immediately go into default with their lender. David Conklin, a Redwood Shores resident, attends Fully Alive Church and is a member of the church property committee. He stated that as a property commercial business person on the Peninsula for 13 years, his opinion is that the proposed parking easement allowing Fully Alive the right to park at the Point, has been and continues to be insufficiently characterized by many as a temporary agreement. An easement is the legal right of one property owner to use the property of another. An easement is appurtenant to and runs with the property which benefits from it. The easement which the Point proposes to grant Fully Alive will be part of the real estate which the church owns. Conversely, the easement will be an encumbrance on the Point property creating limitations on its use of parking. The grant of an easement expresses the sincere intent of the owners of . the Point to provide a permanent parking solution for Fully Alive. The right of the owners of the right of the Point to revoke the easement is simply a provision to mitigate any potential reduction in property value which the easement might represent in the eyes of the lender or prospective buyer. Joe Verga, stated he is a member of the Fully Alive property board and Governor's Bay HOA Board. He stated that an issue with any Homeowners' Association is overflow parking from other uses within the community. All the streets within these affected communities are private, posted with parking restrictions, there are towing rules and regulations in place, and Governor's Bay has experienced on occasion, the overflow from Sandpiper Community Center. The problem was dealt with and the issue has been resolved, therefore, he does not see overflow parking as an issue. REGULAR COUNCIL ME~- ~ ~NG SEPTEMBER 9, 2002 MINUTES PAGE 10
