AGENDA REVIEW

of Agenda Item No. 6.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mrs. Sophie Mason, 10 Arlington Drive, informed Council of "reduce speed ahead" traffic signs
along E1 Camino Real, between the Promenade development and Hickey Boulevard, that are
confusing and are potential traffic hazards. She asked that someone from the City look into it.
Also, Mrs. Mason stated that residents in the Winston Manor No. 1 are seeking the City's
assistance in arranging a meeting with Caltrans to discuss the signalization of Arlington Drive
and El Camino Real. Mayor Matsumoto stated staff will contact legislative representatives
regarding their request. Regarding the traffic signs along El Camino Real, staff agreed to make a
field review. Councilman Mullin offered to provide a copy of a traffic survey to Mrs. Mason
that he made with Caltrans.
Ms. Jackie Williams, 242 Longford Drive, stated her concerns regarding the Serramonte
Corporate Center project. She asked questions regarding the development hooking up to the
City's sewer line, the preparation of a new traffic study, potential noise from the development,
and the inadequacy of the project's 1986 EIR. She stated her main concern is traffic. She asked
that these issues be addressed before August 17. (Letter submitted to City Clerk.)
Mayor Matsumoto stated the Council subcommittee (Mullin/Fernekes) will respond to questions
upon completion of their review of the project. City Manager Wilson stated he has been in
contact with the Daly City City Manager. Daly City held a meeting to disseminate information
on the project for the City's response. A soils engineer has been retained and responses are
being prepared, but the City is not compelled to meet the referenced August 17 deadline, since a
reasonable amount of time to review the data is required.
Councilman Mullin asked for a response to the sewer hook-up issue, and City Manager Wilson
stated the City is under no obligation to supply sewer service to the project. An alternative for
the developer is to build a pump station and pump waste to the west. He stated that Council has
not made any commitment or agreement to accept or not accept a sewer connection. City
Manager Wilson reiterated that the developer has no legal right to hook up to the City's sewer
system without the City's permission.
