John Ferreira, 2334 Greendale Dr.,
thanked Council for their support on the
recent successful Eagle Scout Run. He
stated that the proceeds from the run had
gone to "Pro for Kids," a program to com-
bat drugs through counseling.
Mr. Tom Callan, Jr. stated that he had
~'O~Obeen developing in the community since
1948 and when things occurred that were
not right he had brought them before the
City Council so that someone else might
benefit from the clarification.
He stated that he was appearing tonight
to clarify a misunderstanding. He
related that at the 6/11/86 meeting he
had stated that it was unfair for the
City to charge anyone an additional $900
for an EIR bid proposal, and at the same
time guarantee the City that he would pay
a minimum of $15,000 towards that report.
He stated that at the present time he did
not have a tenant, nor did he have any
idea what the City would or would not
approve as far as a use was concerned.
He stated that the Council had asked the
Planning Director if the fees mentioned
were an acceptable practice in adjourning
communities, and her answer had been yes.
He presented the following statistics
that he had gleaned from adjourning com-
munities: San Mateo County Planning
Commission - if an EIR was required the
County will secure three bids and submit
them to the applicant for selection, and
there were no fees and no guarantees;
Daly City - a $50 fee to determine if
there is a cause for an EIR, and that
there were no additional fees or a
guarantee requested from the applicant;
Colma - no filing fees and no guarantees
requested; Brisbane - there was an
initial study to determine if an
EIR was necessary, and a $50 deposit to
the City Clerk for a bid proposal

without guarantees and additional filing
fees, and if a negative declaration was
required there was a $100 additional fee;
Pacifica - there are no fees or guaran-
tees in reference to an EIR, however from
the filing fee paid for the use permit
the City allocated $47 an hour for the
staff and if that staff exceeded that
amount an additional charge would be made
and vice versa; San Bruno - if an EIR was
required the City would submit the
requirements through bid proposals and
one proposal would be selected by the
Director of Planning - without cost to
the applicant.
He stated that he had contacted Deputy
City Manager/Community Development &
Administration Lewis for the guidelines
in selection of an EIR consultant, and
had yet to receive same.
He proceeded to recite the history of
his proposal to the City and the monies
spent on the Orchard Supply Project that
led to Orchard Supply withdrawing from
the Project after one and a half years of
endeavor.
He stated that if the City had successful
developers, then the City would also
prosper. He requested that Council
direct staff to review the nine reports,
check with the residents as to what they
would like to see on the land and he
would do his best to comply.
Ms. Nan Scott, Dy-Dee Wash, stated that
she had been in business for over twenty
years and had recently moved to a loca-
tion on Miller Avenue that had been a
former laundry. She stated that since
March of 1985 she had dealt with the
Planning Department to have the building
approved, because she had had to divide
the building and hoped to bring in a
tenant, in that it was too large. She
stated that the Department had not liked

her architect and she had hired a new
one. She stated that the building permit
and the plans were not approved until
8/12/85. She stated that she had moved
the business in June and it had been
one hurdle after another including not
being able to find a tenant.
She spoke of the financial problems due
to: the parking space requirements; the
Fire Department need for a fire wall and
calculations for a sprinkler system to
show if there was enough power; the need
for a tunnel; the requirement for a
second exit which would result in a loss
of floor space which would make it more
difficult to find a tenant.
She urged the Council to have staff look
at alternative Code options to allow her
to continue her business and take care of
her employees.
Chief Building Inspector Wittwer stated
that the Code required two exits because
the building was large. He stated that
there were exits in the rear that opened
onto Railroad property that at any time
could be made unavailable to access, and
that was why two front exits were
required.
Mayor Teglia made mention of three alter-
natives: 1) negotiate with Southern
Pacific to exit out the rear doors onto
their property; 2) Provide a tunnel with
access to the outside; 3) Put a chain
link fence outside the back of the
building.
Vice Mayor Addiego stated that the
building had been constructed and
approved by the City in the '70s and had
been occupied in the same manner as
requested today - so what was the
problem.
Chief Building Inspector Wittwer stated

that there was 18' between the rear exit
doors and the railroad tracks, however
there was nothing to prevent S.P. from
using the area to store train cars.
Chief Building Inspector Wittwer
questioned whether it was possible to
work out some means whereby the doors
would remain open and usable.
Deputy City Manager/Community Development
& Administration Lewis expressed a con-
cern over public liability in connection
with the rear exits being approved near
the railroad tracks.
Assistant City Attorney Kasper suggested
getting an agreement from Southern
Pacific for an easement for access that
would never be built upon.
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that if a
fire wall was built it might satisfy the
Code on the access and exit requirements
in that there were two definitions cited.
Discussion followed: on the occupancy
load factors; that there would not be a
problem if S.P. was not there; that Staff
was to investigate and report back to the

He stated that the City had used the
County's JPA and that ABAG had come for-

the pool membership would probably
include approximately twenty cities. He

less than would be required for the
County arrangement.
Discussion followed: that the limit of
coverage was $5,000,000; that thirteen
had entered the program and that four
other cities had this item on their agen-
das; that the administrative costs were
based on 40% pro rated among cities and
