AGENDA ACTION TAKEN
Hearing - Continued. Boardmember Teglia felt that this was a
piece of junk, even after much work by
staff, and she asked for more information
on the plan.
Boardmember Haffey apologized to the
architect for the Boardmember's comment.
Ms. Sue Eschweiler, Design Engr. Systems,
stated that her firm had worked long and
hard with Homart and the City to
integrate with the specific plan for the
Gateway Park, and they were very pleased
with the product.
She proceeded to describe in detail the
site plan issues and the design guide-
lines used to enhance the atmosphere of
the building.
Discussion followed: there were no
loading docks on the site; that the
loading area is to the rear; there was
direct access for trucks to and from
Gateway; Boardmember Haffey felt that the
design of the building followed the ware-
house theme of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes
Industrial Park; that this project was
significantly different than Cabot, Cabot
& Forbes through its use of high quality
materials, design, landscaping and
screening; that even though it used high
quality materials - it was still a ware-
house; Boardmember Teglia felt that the
Agency wanted a complete Gateway theme of
quality products to compliment what was
there, and not a hodgepodge of uses that
do not relate from one side of the street
to the other; that the sales from the
building would be from point of origin.
Mr. Jim Carlsen, Vice President and
Corporate Secretary of Heidelberg West,
stated that this would be one of five
branch operations servicing the western
United States; that sales did take place
in the other locations, and sales orders
were F.O.B. appropriate to that par-
ticular sale whether it is delivered or
local. He stated that because the sales
take place in the 14 westernmost United
States, the sales tax obligation resides

of, and if sold here we have to pay here,
but if sold in Washington they would have
to pay in Washington - not California.
Discussion followed: that there had not
been sales tax projections for products
sold in San Mateo County; that there
would be screening for the roof and
sides; that there would be cyclone
fencing at the rear of the building, and
barbed wire would not be used.

Motion withdrawn.
Mayor Drago stated that it appeared that
the Agency members objected more to the
use rather than to the building, yet the
Agency had allowed that type of use.
He closed the Hearing.
