- . " "' - is near a school site. She said she felt that the Council should uphold the prornises that their predecessors made to the community. - John Murphy, 421 Loft Lane, inquired about the shuttle supposedly provided by the homeowners association, and Mayor Howard said the Report referred to the Business Owner's Association shuttle proposal. Don Warren, 125 Stonybrook Road, Los Gatos, said, "At the time that the Specific Area Plan was done for Lido Neighborhood, I was the President of Redwood Shores Properties, the master developer for Redwood Shores, and did own the real estate involved. The original ideas for the Lido area did have this parcel included within an area to be developed for residential development. However, we were involved in very intense discussions with the South Bayside System Authority with respect to the juxtaposition of those properties with the plant. Good reasons for why that property should not be developed for residential development were brought forth. In response to that and requests from the City, the developer changed the plan significantly, and at significant cost to them, in order to accommodate a rerouting of some of the streets and roads, the servicing, and to have that particular parcel zoned. I went back through the record to refresh my memory about the dialogue, correspondence, and written record with respect to these deliberations. Continuously and consistently there was reference in that dialogue to commercial zoning and to the possibility of low rise R and D. It was not related to the number of stories, but the concept of a commercial low-rise R and D building was within the ideas discussed at that time. Because of the concerns of the sewage treatment plant which continue today, - there was a tripartite agreement written which I was a signatory, the City Manager at that time was a signatory, and the SBSA was a signatory, and that agreement has stood for all parties since. That agreement also provides for commercial development on that site and low-rise R and D is consistent in those deliberations as well." Mayor Howard asked if anyone else wished to speak. No one came forward. MIS: HARTNETT/RUSKIN. TITLE READ. RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT WITH OWNERS OF LIDO SHORES PLAZA (LIDO LOTS 4 AND 5) AND DIRECTING ARCHITECTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY'S DESIRE TO APPROVE REVISED DEVELOPMENT FOR LIDO LOTS 4 AND 5. In response to questions from Couneil Member Claire, City Attorney Schrieker confirmed that even if Mr. Anderlini's interpretation were correct, that would not necessitate revisiting the Specific Plan, and the property would still be zoned "CG," and a developer who wished to develop a commercial office building on that site would start the process all over again. - ADJOURNED REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 56 DECEMBER 18,1997 MINUTES Page No. 119 PAGE ]4
