invited the community to attend the
Chamber of Commerce sponsored Business to
Business Local Trade Show at the Holiday
Inn on 5/11/89 at 5:30 p.m. She stated
that over forty-three industries and ser-
vices will be at the function.
Mr. Ed McMorrey, President of the
Peninsula Water Agency, stated that he
was making this presentation before many
Peninsula Councils, and the Council of
Mayors would appoint a committee or the
Regional Planning Commission would
redraft the JPA. He stated that in 1992
or 1993 the peninsula water supply and
demand will be a parity. He stated that
there was not another source of water to
look to for our needs beyond that point
of time, and no one was doing anything to
bring in additional water.
He stated that the JPA was intended to
give the Peninsula Water Agency or a new
water agency, which was hoped to be the
Bay Area Water Agency, the authority to
search out any new supply of water.
He stated that at the present time there
was a supply available up in the Hetch
Hetchy, however, the State wanted to use
that water as a flush agent for the lower
Delta. He spoke in detail of lobbying
attempts on a congressional level to pull
water development out of the Wild and
Scenic Rivers Act.
He described in detail the current and
projected usage of water in San Francisco
and the Peninsula, and plans for bond
measures on future water sources by the
JPA.
Mayor Teglia thought that San Francisco
would recognize the need for additional
water on the Peninsula and bring it into
focus to the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors for some sort of bond
measure. She stated that she did not
understand why this Agency was par-
ticularly necessary.

PRESENTATIONS
Mr. McMorrey stated that there were only
three cities in the County that were not
members of this Agency, and there was no
intention to go to bonding that would
supply water to Santa Clara County, as
well as to San Francisco. He stated that
the intent of the new agency was to bring
in the thirty suburban users into the new
agency, and there was an indication that
San Francisco would join the agency.
Councilman Addiego stated that he had a
different understanding after having
spoken to the Superintendent of the
Watershed, which was that So. San
Francisco and a couple of other northern
Ca. cities were supplied by a northern
most lake in that system which was not
hooked into water from the Hetch Hetchy
Reservoir in the Sierras. He stated that
this City receives its water from a lake
whose watershed in on the property right
above us on the coastal range. He stated
that he would like to know where this
City's water came from, and how we fit
into the Peninsula Water Agency before he
would consider endorsing this proposal.
Discussion followed: that the meetings
of this Agency only occurred once a year;
that Ca. Water supplied this City's
water, and had the responsibility to plan
for future water; Mr. McMorrey stated
that this City's water came from the
upper lake of the Crystal Springs
Reservoir, which at the present time was
being refilled from water from the
Sierras; that the documentation would be
referred to City staff for evaluation.
Mayor Teglia stated that Water Awareness
Week was coming as brought to Council
attention by the Westborough Water
District who had asked for a proclamation
that was not read tonight, however, it
showed that many people were working
towards this same end.

Mr. Jack Brakes, Art Rise, publicly
thanked Homart for their $1,000 donation
to the arts. He stated that the next Art
Rise production would run from 5/5/89 to
5/21/89 and the production was "On Golden
Pond."
Mr. Bob McKay, 1016 Grand Avenue,
questioned the status of the proposed
large jail in the residential area of
Grand Avenue where he had recently bought
a home. He understood it was to be
constructed near the existing detention
center.
Mayor Teglia stated that two members of
Council were working to develop an alter-
native to the County proposal to place
a jail facility at the Mission Road
site. She stated that there was an EIR
being finalized on various sites, and the
Council Subcommittee was developing an
alternative site out on the bay front
which was felt would meet all of the
County needs. She stated that the new
County Manager was not convinced that a
new jail was needed, and wanted to
examine the entire concept of feasibility
before proceeding.
Mr. McKay questioned why this location
was so desirable.
Mayor Teglia stated that from the City's
point of view there was none, but the
County owns the property on Mission Road
and therefor would not have to acquire
additional land for a jail.
Mr. McKay stated that he had only lived
here for six weeks, and there had been a
disturbing, violent jail incident that
occurred after the second week of moving

Mayor Teglia stated that any testimony

Director of Recreation & Community
Services Jewell stated that the issue
before the Council was one where the
Historic Preservation Commission has
deemed appropriate the designation of the
property at 240-246 Grand Avenue as a
historic resource - which was before the
Council as an appeal.
He stated that the procedure followed for
the designation was consistent with the
Municipal Code which gave the Commission
the authority to make the designation.
He explained that public hearings had
been held, as well as meetings with'the
property owners to further evaluate the

property and review the implications of
the designation. He stated that there
had not been a representative from the
owners present during the public hearing,
however, a letter had been received from
the property owners, and had been con-
sidered by the Commission during their
deliberations.
He stated that Mr. Giffra had indicated
in his letter that there had been a
selective designation in the process, and
in his opinion was a discriminatory
practice and unfair.
He explained the three points the deci-
sion had been based upon: 1) that the
building had played an important role in
the history of South San Francisco
through several businesses, and most
recently a market which had operated
since 1911 with many original features
maintained, i.e., original sales counter
and antique fixtures; 2) the history of
the Giffra family and its association with
the building; 3) the building was
constructed in 1907 and exemplified the
Spanish colonial revival style.
Mayor Teglia opened the Public Hearing
and invited those wishing to speak in
favor of the appeal to step to the dais.
Councilman Addiego stated that the
Commission's first finding seemed to rest
on the long term operations of the site,
and specifically talked about a sales
counter and antique fixtures. He
questioned if the current ordinance
allowed the City to preserve fixtures and
appurtenances to the business.
Director of Recreation & Community
Services Jewell stated that with respect
to interior features - he did not believe
that those were things that would
necessarily be maintained. He stated
that the focus of the designation dealt
with the exterior of the building.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Henry Roux, Esq., Reynolds, Roux & Price,
stated that he represented the various
owners of the property, as well as the
Giffra family partnership.
Mayor Teglia swore in Mr. Roux before he
gave testimony in the matter at hand.
Henry Roux, Esq. stated that this
designation was made by the Commission
over the objection of the landowners,
which had led to this appeal. He stated
that his clients were asking the Council
to consider this appeal and overrule
decision findings of the Commission - in
the alternative to remand the matter to
the Commission for further consideration.
He stated that it was important to iden-
tify the fact that there are other pro-
perties that have also been identified as
potential historic sites in the survey of
properties of South City, and they were
contiguous to the property at 240-246
Grand Avenue. He continued, specifically
talking about the properties at 232-238
Grand Ave., which altogether comprise
three fifty foot frontages, which is 150'
of frontage on the north side of the 200
block of Grand Avenue.
He believed that from a straight forward
standpoint that the Council had several
problems with the designation made by the
Commission: Chapter 2.58.120(e)2 of the
Municipal Code requires, in his opinion,
an independent finding that the designa-
tion will not impose undue economic or
financial hardship on the owner; that
the Commission had not met that respon-
sibility by simple review of the letters
submitted by the owners; that the
Commission had an independent obligation
to investigate and must make, and submit
an independent finding - they had not
done so; that the finding has not taken

PUBLIC HEARINGS
into account, with any sufficiency, the
purposes in the Code setting forth as a
purpose of the ordinance the enhancement
of property values, increasing economic
and financial opportunities for the City
and its inhabitants. He believed that in
fact quite the reverse has or will occur
through this designation, that there
would be adverse economic and financial
conditions that result both to the owners
and this community.
He stated that designation of a historic
site on this property: severely limited
the potential use of that entire 150'
frontage by the current owners; that it
restricted potential development and
construction of larger facilities on the
premises, and thereby limited the availa-
bility of leasehold interest for alter-
native types of businesses that could be
operated in that space at an increased
economic opportunity to the owners.
He stated that for the last few years it
had been difficult to attract tenants
into those facilities, and there were
vacant spaces existing now. He stated
that there had also been difficulty in
obtaining approvals from the City and
staff for prospective tenants. He stated
that this designation prevented signifi-
cant alterations of those premises, and
would continue to create that kind of a
lack of opportunity for rental.
He further believed that his clients were
in a situation wherein the designation
diminished the value of their property,
which had been indicated by real estate
experts and appraisers, and that the
value may be as such as two or three
times its fair market value. He stated
that in terms of numbers he was talking
about a difference in value between the
historic designation vs. a unrestricted
nonhistoric site - at least hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and maybe in excess
of $2,000,000 according to their real
estate experts and appraisers.

He stated that there was also a problem
with the cost of restoration of this pro-
perty to a historic condition, and it
would be significant. He stated that the
City estimated cost was in excess of
$60,000, whereas his clients' architect
felt that was a very conservative esti-
mate, and that it would run closer to
$85,000. He stated that this cost was
not warranted by the present economics of
the building, and was a cost that should
not be imposed upon the owners of this
building. He continued to refute the
staff report: that the cost of restora-
tion would be significant; that the cost
was not warranted by the present econo-
mics of the building; that there were no
tax benefits from this designation.
He stated that the Federal Tax laws only
allowed two types of benefits: 1) which
is available to this property or any
other property of sufficient age
regardless of whether or not it is
designated a historic resource; 2) it
would require a historic designation
through the Department of Interior on the
National Registry in compliance with cer-
tain Federal laws. He stated that in
order to benefit from either of these
types of tax benefits the owner would be
put in a position where they would have
to incur restoration or renovation costs
equal to or greater than their cost basis
in these properties that may exceed the
$60,000-85,000 estimate projected for
restoration.
He stated that there were older buildings
in the downtown area that had not been
designated - which showed an inconsistent
pattern. He urged the Council to listen
to the plight of the owners and not
designate the property as a historic
resource.
Mayor Teglia invited those wishing to
speak against the appeal to step to the '
dais -- no one did, and she closed the
public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Councilman Addiego questioned if the
Commission had the opportunity to hear
Mr. Roux's discourse.
Henry Roux, Esq. stated that they had,
but he was not sure if it was well com-
municated with anyone on staff or the
Commission.
Discussion followed: the Giffra's dif-
ficulty in finding viable tenants; four
or five incidents in the last few years
where either the use was unacceptable to
the City, and the tenant could not get a
use permit; that the Giffra letter did
not address the issue brought forth this
evening; that the Commission did not
receive information on the designation
creating an undue hardship, and had ruled
that there was no hardship; that the
Giffra attorney did not feel that the
Commission findings complied with the
requirements of the Municipal Code; why
the Commission had not investigated a
hardship.
Mayor Teglia swore in Mr. Richard
Giffra.
Mr. Richard Giffra, 139 Fernwood Dr., San
Rafael, stated that a week before the
Commission meeting there had been a
meeting with Mr. Jewell, members of
the Commission, and the Giffra family
wherein they had expressed their con-
cerns, and had followed it up with a
letter in protest of the designation.
Discussion followed: on the protest
letter in reference to economic hardship;
the three basic findings for the designa-
tion; the Bamburg survey on historic
sites, and its basis; the Commission pro-
cess from that list to establish priori-
ties and the legal Commission process;
specific criteria of the ordinance that
the Commission followed for the
designation.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Teglia swore in Historic
Preservation Chairwoman Gookin.
Chairwoman Gookin refutted the Giffra
attorney: that there was no indication
of undue hardship; that there was not an
indication of a specific plan before the
City on the three properties; that this
designation was important to the revita-
lization program because of its architec-
tural, spiritual needs that were
significant; that the designation had no
bearing on the owner finding tenants;
that the building had always been well
maintained, and this would not impose
more maintenance; that the interior was
just an added charm to the building; that
if in the future there was a hardship for
the family it could then be reviewed;
that this area could be a historic
district, even though all of the
buildings were not of the same historic
significance.
Discussion followed: the 20% tax credit;
why only the one Giffra structure was
designated, and not the other two
buildings; whether the Giffra attorney
could document that the building would be
worth one quarter of its value through
the designation; that the attorney did
not choose to disclose that information,
however, there might be a case of inverse
condemnation based on the ruling.

Director of Planning Smith cited the
history of the appeal, and stated that
because of a problem with the circulation
pattern the application was returned to
the applicant. She stated that the plans
were revised, however this involved major
changes in the appearance of the motel
structure. She stated that the Planning
Commission had approved the variance, and
the elimination of the two units.
Mayor Teglia opened the Public Hearing,
and questioned where the original ren-
dering of the project was located. She
stated that if the rendering was not
available, the hearing could be continued.
Mr. George Avanessian, Architect, stated
that there never was an original ren-
dering - only exterior elevations dimen-
sional drawings, which had been reworked
with the changes requested. He stated
that the original drawing was a tracing
that had been erased and redrawn with a
change in the roof line as requested.
Discussion followed: on the drawings;
the recommendation to move the manager
unit upstairs which had changed the
architect, and shuffled the circulation.
Mr. Lou Dell'Angela stated that after
modifications were made to the original
site plan and drawings at the meeting on

that had recommended approval of the new
design and the 24 units. He stated that

Review Board had not had a chance to
review it, as well as the wing walls,
which they wanted tapered instead of

Mayor Teglia requested that it be sent
back to the Design Review Board for
detailed comments.
Mr. Avanessian stated that the Design
Review Board's only problem was feeling
that this was too massive. He stated
that he did not agree because the
building sat back 20' from the sidewalk;
Airport Blvd. was 15' wide with a freeway
behind it; many houses were that high
when the roof peak was reached without a
wide street, etc.
Mayor Teglia declared a recess at 10:07.
Mayor Teglia recalled the meeting to

Mr. Bob Williams, Design Review Board,

three stories at the front, and the Board
feeling it was too massive on a busy and
important street.
Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing.
Vice Mayor Halley stated that the real
bottom line was the difference of 24
rooms vs. 22 rooms.
Mayor Teglia felt that this was one of
