Dear Council Members and Redevelopment Agency Members:
The undersigned represents the Poletti Trust. The
Poletti Trust is the owner of certain real property located
along, upon and adjacent to the proposed Gateway Boulevard
Extension at its intersection with Mitchell Avenue and South
Airport Boulevard. The street addresses are 191 and 111
Mitchell Avenue.
The Poletti Trust objects to the adoption of any
resolutions authorizing in any way the sale of any bonds in
connection with the Gateway Redevelopment Project.
The certified and approved FEIR for the Gateway
Redevelopment Project forecasts an "F" rating for traffic
conditions in the after condition at the intersection of
South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell Avenue, and Gateway
Boulevard (Extension). An "F" rating is defined in the FEIR
June 1984 Supplement, p. 48, as a "jammed condition." The
Gateway Redevelopment FEIR did not consider the cumulative
traffic impacts including dust, fumes, noise and air
pollution that will be generated at the same intersection by
the U.S. Steel Plant Site Redevelopment Project and the
Shearwater Project. Interestingly, the U.S. Steel and
Shearwater FEIRs ignored their cumulative adverse traffic
impacts on the same intersection on the Gateway Project.

The undersigned respectfully requests the City and the
Redevelopment Agency to take judicial notice of the U.S.
Steel and Shearwater FEIRs which projects anticipate
construction of 2,000,000 square feet of new buildings,
6,000 employees and 9,000 visitors per day. When the
traffic, noise, dust, fumes and air pollution impacts of
these projects are superimposed on the main north/south
corridor of South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell Avenue and
Gateway Extension Boulevard, which already has an
rating, the greatest physical and economic blight in history
of the State of California will be visited upon the poletti
Trust Properties, including the Super 8 Motel, Budget Rent-
A-Car, and Hungry Hunter, and all other existing businesses
fronting along and upon South Airport Boulevard and the
surrounding street network system.
Secondly, the Gateway FEIRalso ignores the cumulative
adverse traffic impacts that will be generated by the Frice
Company Project on the South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell
Avenue, Gateway Boulevard Extension intersection.
It is respectfully requested that the Redevelopment
Agency conduct a new Subsequent and/or Supplemental Draft
EIR for the Gateway Redevelopment Project to address the
cumulative impacts of the several projects named herein
which were ignored. Said request is made pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and in particular,
California Administrative Code (CEQA Guidelines, Sections
15162 and 15163), which provisions mandate a new EIR when
new information of substantial importance to the project
becomes available or subsequent changes of a substantial
nature occur which impact the circumstances under which the
project was undertaken.
In the event that the aforementioned cumulative impacts
are not addressed in either a Subsquent or Supplemental EIR,
the Poletti Trust will have no other recourse but to take
appropriate legal action.
Kindly have the Clerk enter this letter as part the
record for the public hearing.
Respectfully submitted,

An in-depth discussion followed: on tt..
proposal presented; the purpose of
forming the Youth Advisory Board; setting
goals and future objectives for the
Board; if the two former members would
work with the Recreation Department;
raising the age limit of members of the
Board; forming a community involvement
committee for candidates nights; con-
tacting other prior members of the Board
for feedback; appointing new members in a
timely fashion, etc.
Ms. Gloria Maltoni, President of the
Downtown Merchants Association,
questioned the police services for the
Art & Wi ne Festival which were billed at
$1,456 when $1,008 had been the agreed
upon amount.
She requested Council assistance in a 50%
defrayment in costs for Christmas
decorations for Grand Avenue.
Police Chief Datzman explained that th
$1,456 accounted for five posts and one
over-night security and that he had
contributed a Watch Commander which
amounted to 91 manhours.
Discussion followed: that perhaps the
Association should not be billed for all
of the manhours in that the service was
performed for the community at large;
that Ms. Maltoni's requests should be
agendized for the next regular meeting.

Re= Resolution of Necessity Authorizing
Acquisition of the Lands of the Poletti Trust
Dear Council Members and Redevelopment Agency Members:
The undersigned represents the Poletti Trust. The
Poletti Trust is the owner of certain real property located
along, upon and adjacent to the proposed Gateway Boulevard
Extension at its intersection with Mitchell Avenue and South
Airport Boulevard. (Acquisition parcels 1, 2 and 4)
The Poletti Trust objects to the adoption of a
Resolution of Necessity authorizing the acquisition of the
lands of the Poletti Trust for the following reasons=
A. The'Public Interest And Necessity Do Not Require
The Proiect.
The certified and approved FEIR for the Gateway
Redevelopment Project forecasts an 'F' rating for traffic
conditions in the after condition at the intersection of
South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell Avenue, and Gateway
Boulevard (Extension). An 'F' rating is defined in the FEI~
June 1984 Supplement, p. 48, as a 'jammed condition.' The
Gateway Redevelopment FEIR did not consider the cumulative
traffic impacts including dust, fumes, noise and air
P°llution that will be generated at the same intersection by
the U.S. Steel Plant Site Redevelopment Project and the
Shearwater Project. Interestingly, the U.S. Steel and
Shearwater FEIRs ignored their cumulative adverse traffic
impacts on the same intersection.

.... August 28, 1985
Page 2
The undersigned respeCtfully requests the City and
the Redevelopment'Agency to take judicial notice of the U.S.
Steel and Shearwater FEIRs which, projects anticipate
construction of 2,000,000 square feet of new buildings'
6,000 employees and 9,000 visitors per daY. When the
traffic, noise, dust, fumes and air pollution impacts of
these projects are superimposed On the main north/south
corridor of South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell Avenue and
Gateway Extension Boulevard, which already has an 'F'
rating, the greatest physical and economic blight in history
of the State. of California will be visited upon the Poletti
Trust Properties, including the Super 8 Note1, Budget Rent-
A-Car, and Hungry Hunter, and all other existing businesses
fronting along and upon South Airport Boulevard and the
surrounding street network system.
Secondly, the Gateway FEIR also ignores the
cumulative adverse traffic impacts that will be generated by
the Price Company Project on the South Airport Boulevard,
Nitchell Avenue, Gateway Boulevard Extension Intersection.
-- The undersigned requests the City and Agency to take
Judicial notice of the purported 'Negative Declaration' on
the Price Club P~oject and the 6,000 vehicles per day that
will visit that project.
It is respectfully requested that the Redevelopment
Agency conduct a new Subsequent and/or Supplemental Draft
EIR for the Gateway Redevelopment Project to address the
cumulative impacts of the several projects named herein
which were ignored. Said request is made pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and in particular,
California Administrative Code (CEQA Guidelines, Sections
15162 and 15163), which provisions mandate a new EIR when
new information of substantial importance to the project
becomes available or subsequent changes of a substantial
nature occur which impact the circumstances under which the
project was undertaken.
B. The Project Ts Not Planned And/Or ?.ocated Tn The
Manner That Will Be Moat Compatible With The Greatest Public
Good And The r.east Private Tnlurv.
The acquisition of the Poletti Trust properties and
the construction of the street extension improvements in the
manner proposed will create no less than 6 ~eparate and
distinct remainder parcels.
The Project, if constructed in the manner proposed,
will relegate the Super 8 Note1 to a non-conforming sub-
standard use contrary to the zoning ordinances of the City.

The'Project, as designed, conceived, and
constructed, will create massive traffic jams at the
intersection of South Airport Boulevard, Mitchell Avenue,
and Gateway Boulevard Extension, which will result in
physical and economic blight on all lands and existing
businesses located south, east and west of the Gateway
Redevelopment Project.
The public interest and necessity does not require
massive traffic jams in order to accommodate the exigencies
of the redeveloper and the Agency.
C. The Poletti Trust Property Ts Not Necessary For The
Pro~ect.
For the reasons stated under headings A and B,
above, the Poletti Trust real property is not necessary for
the Project.
D. There Does Not ~.xist An 'Approved Appraisal' W~th
Respect To The Lands Of The Poletti Trust.
The appraiser for the Redevelopment Agency
incorrectly assumed that PG&E was the owner of Acquisition
Parcel 2 which contains approximately 1.461 acres. Parcel 2
is a fully improved piece of real property that has been
filled, culverted, paved, striped, landscaped, improved with
parking lot lights, and fenced. It is presently leased for
$.12 a square foot. However, Parcel 2 has been incorrectly
appraised as part of a larger parcel of land owned by PG&E
containing 7 acres, which larger parcel can be considered
undeveloped swamp land requiring 8 or 10 feet of fill. The
vice of the Agency's appraisal theory of evaluating Parcel 2
as part of a larger undeveloped piece of real property owned
by PG&E is to reduce the overall average price of Parcel 2.
Such appraisal theory is incorrect.
The proper method of appraisal is to appraise
Parcel 2 either as a separate and distinct parcel owned by
the Poletti Trust or as part of a larger parcel or parcels
owned by the Poletti Trust, whichever theory will give
Parcel 2 its highest price in terms of fair market value.
(People v. Silveira, 236 C.A.2d 604, at 616}
As regards Acquisition Parcel 4, the Agency
appraiser must have assumed that Parcel 4 was unuseable and
land-locked. Such is not the case. Parcel 4 contains 5771
square feet. The Agency has offered $1,000 for Parcel 4, or
approximately $.17 per square foot, for the full fee value.

Pa~ 5c
City Council
Redevelopment Agency
August 28, i985
Page 4
A portion of.Parcel 4 is presently rented at $.12 a square
foot per month. Such appraisa! is insulting.
The undersigned' contends that the RedeVelopment
Agencyts appraisal is not a bona fide approved appraisal, in
-that it is predicated upon improper assumptions as regards
ownership; it incorrectly assumes that Parcel 2 is part of a
larger parcel of real property owned by PG&E; and it fails
to consider the income approach as regards fair market
value. Finally, the appraisal of acquisition Parcels 2 and
4 are inconsistent with the Agencyts appraisal of PG&E
Acquisition Parcel No. 1 containing 1.082 acres or 47,262 "
square feet.
Eo The Redevelopment Agency Has Not F-rnishe~ ThQ
Trustee~ Of The Poletti Trust With A R-mmar¥ Of The App~ove~-
Appraisa.].
Aside from the fact that the Agency's 'approved
appraisal' is predicated upon improper assumptions, the
purported appraisal summary is not a summary of the basis
for the amount it established as just compensation.
It cannot be ascertained if acquisition Parcels 1,
2 and 4 were appraised as separate and distinct parcels or
were appraised as part of a larger parcel or parcels owned
by the Poletti Trust. It cannot be asoertained whether the
6 remainders have been diminished in value as a result of
severing the part from the whole. It cannot be ascertained
what value, if any, the appraiser had on the subject
property in the before con~it~on. It cannot be ascertained
what value, if any, the appraiser fixed as the fair market
value of Acquisition Parcels 1, 2 and 4. It cannot be
ascertained what value, if any, the appraiser placed upon
the 6 remainders in the after condition. There is no
summary of any comparable sales or mention of any sales, or
range of comparable sales the appraiser considered in
arriving at his 'opinion of value".
In a word, the purported "~ummar¥ of the ~si- o~
the Appraisal' is merely a lump sum offer to purchase the
aforementioned acquisition parcels.
For the reasons set forth under headings D and E,
above, the undersigned contends that the Redevelopment
Agency has violated the provisions of Government Code
