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

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.

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.

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.

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.
M/S Teglia/Addiego - To deny con-
struction of a septic tank and that
the holding tank be replaced; and
the Director of Public Services
was to establish user rates.
