Jim Bewley, Manager of SBSA, highlighted some items mentioned that relate to the plan. The first item noted was an item identified as a change recommended by the Planning Commission, not to remove the radio tower abutments. He stated that it was not a request of the landowners or SBSA, but an observation of the EIR consultant. The north tree screen was raised as a concern that people have of moving it inward from what was the edge of the biosalt area. This item developed again from the EIR consultant that the tree screen should be brought closer to the treatment plant. The west tree screen along Radio Road was determined to pose a problem for the birds. It is appropriate to remove the existing road if a new road is built and the storage tanks are owned by the City of Redwood City. Council Members asked clarifying questions of Mr. Bewley. Scott Owens, lead pastor of Fully Alive, stated he is present for any questions pertaining to the chumh. He stated that consideration of a written agreement that would not violate the bondholder's agreements is possible. Dennis Logie stated that the concept of shared parking is used with most places of worship. He further stated that 16,000 feet is not an extraordinarily sized facility. He stated that he thinks a church is an asset to a community and a church with a building is able to host weddings, voter precincts and other uses. Rich Hegeman, speaking as President of Gossamer Hollow HOA, stated for the record that Gossamer Hollow HOA does not share most of the concerns of RSOA. They do not believe that the parking issue will pose much of a problem. They do not believe that SBSA's changes to the plan are problematic. He stated a more technical concem with respect to the agenda and whether an appeal might be filed. Robert Baldwin commented that many things are done in the name of public good and he asked that while moving forward with the project, that the impact on the wetlands be considered. Gall Stebbins responded to the comments regarding towing company fees. She stated that the HOA would pay for any towing fees incurred. She further clarified that her reference to a temporary parking agreement or easement was not pertaining to the actual legal document only that it is for Sunday and Tuesday evenings and could be cancelled at any time. David Volkanaar, stated his background as a retired land surveyor, civil engineer and 40 year public city employee. He stated that there are permanent and temporary easements. A temporary easement is often used to allow construction and a permanent easement will not be rescinded by either party. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 9, 2002 MINUTES PAGE 11
