Mayor Nicolopulos declared a recess at 9:12 p.m. Mayor Nicolopulos recalled the meeting to order at 9:25 p.m., all Council present. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela said that two issues were involved: 1) maintaining a certain amount of paved area adjacent to the pump station for the Westborough Water District vehicles could move in and out of the area freely to maintain the pump station; 2) whether vehicular access through the shopping center and pump station area to and from the adjoining property in Daly City should be allowed without any knowledge of potential problems this access drive would cause the City. He proceeded to show maps of the 10/21/81 Page 6 16. Public Hearing - Continued. area, shopping center, future restaurant and the pump station. He retraced the history of the Pinkerton Company's plans to build which did not materialize and it was discovered that an island was built at a shorter distance- which should have been left as a paved condition. He continued, that the Planning Commission proceeded to extend, approve, a modified plan which extended the curb line along the area to allow the pump station to be serviced and provide an attractive area between the parking lot and retain control over the adjoining property. He said the parties to the venture were asked to come back and submit a proposal to address the concerns of the Commission. He related that the proposal came back as a plan for a driveway that had been originally proposed without a barrier. He said that the Planning Commission would approve the paved areas, but would retain the control with a barrier which was being appealed by the applicants. He spoke in detail of a map prepared by Mr. Callan's Engineer for the adjoining property in Daly City. He said that Staff was not convinced that the site plan would be desirable by having access from this site. He continued, one of the problems is the driveway to Gellert which comes close to the nose of the median, which the City Engineer says would create traffic problems. He said that under the circumstances it was not wise for the City to consent to a connection without examining the ramifications of the project. Mayor Nicolopulos declared the Public Hearing open. Mayor Nicolopulos invited those who wished to speak in favor of the appeal to step to the dais. 10/21/81 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Public Hearing - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Col. Robert L. Rhea, Westborough Water District, expressed his concerns over a barricade: did not want it attached to the pump station; that the barricade be removed when the pump was serviced. He said the District was anxious to have the area paved before the rains began. He said that he did not believe that a cyclone fence was practical and thought that a wooden fence would be better, however he would cooperate with Council action. Mr. Thomas J. Callan, 2790 Junipero Serra, Daly City spoke of the Gellert Boulevard Assessment District and that when it was formed it was in Daly City, San Mateo County and South San Francisco and that the County decided that an EIR was necessary to determine uses of the land. He said that the City's Planning Commission had approved the EIR in December of 1976 and that the report made reference to the parcel being discussed. Vice Mayor Teglia said that her memory of the EIR was on the road and not on any other project. She said that the document showed footprints of what Mr. Callan thought that area could support and asked if he had a map. Mr. Callan put the map on the board and an in-depth conversation ensued on the plans and the egress and ingress. Vice Mayor Teglia said she was not sure if the approval of the EIR approved a project or a site plan. Mr. Callan spoke of the requirement of a six foot cyclone fence and being the property owner of both parcels. 10/21/81 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Public Hearing - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Councilman Addiego asked if Mr. Callan had any objections to the tabling of the item until a site plan was filed with the City of Daly City. Mr. Callan said he did not have a problem wi th the item being tabl ed. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela stated that the final plan by Walker Pinkerton Company did not involve an access to Daly City. Col. Rhea said that when Walker Pinkerton came in and put the big island in, he had not been notified by the Planning Commission of a public hearing. Mayor Nicolopulos invited those who wished to speak in opposition to the appeal to step to the dais - no one chose to speak. Mayor Nicolopulos closed the Public Hearing. A discussion followed on the EIR, site plan not having a driveway, Exhibit A being a section of the approved site plan with a dash line a proposed driveway that was put on later and whether to have an exterior access. Also discussed was the potential danger to ped- estrians and vehicular traffic with the access proposed, control of the adjoining property in Daly City. Mr. Callan asked the City Attorney to give an opinion on how the map stands today, in regard to whether it was changed or denied. Councilman Addiego suggested that Mr. Callan have his attorney research the document to determine the access and not the City's Attorney. 10/21/81 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 80 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16.

PUBLIC SERVICES Director of Public Services Yee said that a use permit had been allowed in 1977 to work out sewage problems. He said that a holding tank had been installed because it would have been too costly to hook up to the City's sewage system. He said that because of the low elevation a septic tank would create problems by contamination of the ground water which would be inappropriate for public health reasons. Mr. Steve Homan, Registered Sanitarian, rebutted the arguments against con- struction of a septic tank and said that if the septic tank was allowed he would pay two cents a gallon on the wastewater.
