He stated that the District needed to take those steps pursuant to State law if the District plans to dispose of that property. He stated that consistent with that law the District must make available and notify public agencies, and 12/9/92 Page 4 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 2. Consideration of letter from Avalon-Brentwood - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS in priority order the City is the first to be afforded the opportunity to purchase the property. He stated that the same law says that if the City wishes to purchase the property it can do so at 25 % of the market value. He stated that the City must notify the District with- in 60 days from notification, and the notification had been received a day ago. He stated that a letter had been received from Mr. Garbarino, President of the Avalon-Brentwood Homeowners. Assoc., asking the City to acquire some or all of the property. He stated that it had been pointed out that the City could acquire it at the reduced cost to serve open space and recreational needs of that neighborhood, and to also carry out some of the objectives the Council had outlined in the park and recreation master plan that the Council had adopted for open space. He felt it was important to look at all of the sites declared surplus for the recreation needs of the City, and suggested that staff assemble information on the potential costs of acquiring the property even at the reduced rate and financing the acquisition; refer that information to the Subcommittee; then come back to the Council at the 1/27/92 meeting with a recom- mendation to purchase one or more properties, and the financial ramifications. Mr. Richard Garbarino, 400 Avalon Dr., stated that he was representing the Avalon-Brentwood Home- owners Assn. as its President, and related the fol- lowing: the park adjacent to the School was dedicat- ed to the memory of six neighborhood boys killed in an accident; that their recommendation was based on the park and recreation master plan of 7/11/90 and that plan stated that the land should be acquired from the School District, and the upper areas be developed as a park for the citizens of S.S.F.; this City has less percentage of open space per popula- tion that any other City in San Mateo County; more open space was needed - not less; the Avalon area will not have open space if the School site is devel- oped; if the memorial park is not purchased it will be sold and developed; recommendation was to purchase the property from in-lieu park fees, and develop it in the future; 500 people had signed a 12/9/92 Page 5 . ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 2. Consideration of letter from Avalon-Brentwood Continu~. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS petition in support of the Council buying the proper- ty; realizing the City's fiscal restraints - it could buy at least half of the property for open space such as the memorial park, and the first level of buildings and playground next to the park; that the remainder of the property, if developed, should be single fami- ly detachedhomes'only,~to,be compatible'with the surrounding neighborhood; concern about the status of trees in the upper portion of the property which acts as a natural wind barrier, and the fear of it being lost through development, etc. Mr. A1 Seubert, 224 Northwood Dr., expressed concern over school closures, and future needs through young families moving into the area that will lead to overcrowding of Ponderosa School. He suggested saving Avalon School and the upper playground which had a beautiful bunch of monterey cypress that acted as a wind break for the park, and felt it would be a terrible waste if lost through de- velopment. Mr. Robert Hastings, 315 Lux, stated that he repre- sented the Girls Softball Teams, and spoke of the lack of playing fields for the youth organizations that have to vie for playing time on the fields. He urged the Council to purchase the surplus District property to answer the needs of youth, as well as the adult organizations using the fields or as a minimum - replace the fields lost through development. Mrs. Sam Marzetti, 427 Alta Vista Dr., stated that she had attended Avalon School, was a life long resident of this City, and did not want to see the park and school lost to development. She stated that many non-profit organizations use the Avalon build- ings for services they perform for this community, such as Head Start which low income people depend upon, as well as, child care centers. She noted that there was a drought going on, and questioned how much water would be needed if the area was developed with houses. 12/9/92 Page 6 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 2. Consideration of Letter from Avalon-Brentwood ~ Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS She stated that she had watched Ponderosa School become over-crowded, and if the area was devel- oped - where would the children go to school. Mayor Teglia read a letter from Joseph Stamatis aloud that expressed concern over the disappearance of open space during his forty years of living in this City, and urged the Council to make every effort to purchase the surplus Avalon School property to retain as permanent open space. Discussion followed: that the 60 day period ends on 2/8/93 or 2/10/93; that the City had the first priority in purchasing the property; Councilman Yee sup- ported getting surplus land for park sites, but wanted a strategy developed to pay for it before a decision was made; the School District/City liaison had been discussing options to purchase property for the last four years in the event the property became avail- able; one of the concerns had been to identify all of the sites that may potentially be surplus; that many neighborhoods had open space needs, in addition to Avalon; the Quimby Act allows a developer to contribute monetarily for land that is being removed from open space, and allows each jurisdiction to establish standards that have to be satisfied, that any subdivision gives open space or contributes funds; that a speaker had spoken of using the in-lieu funds for purchase of the District property; that the funds do exist from that special and very restrictive source of revenue for open space; that part of the school was County land, and the County entertained pro- posals for institutional uses from time to time that the neighborhoods viewed as threatening; Coun- cilman Drago wanted to set goals for the Liaison Committee on whether the Council wanted to pur- chase all the surplus property or block out some of the Alta Loma property, and see if Naylor Act monies can be used; he felt that saving El Rancho and Alta Loma were priorities; concern over ballfield access if part of the property was devel- oped; for the City to give notice on each surplus property, but that doesn't mean it has to buy them all; why the District only declared the field surplus at El Rancho; that the Liaison Committee should involve staff and park and recreation in their discus- sions and come back with a package to serve the Avalon, Brentwood, and the Buri Buri areas. 12/9/92 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 2.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Councilman Drago wanted it s~led tonight as to what properties the City was going to pursue for the edification of the public; he also understood that under the Naylor Act a Body could only purchase 30% of the offered property - which is 30 acres in total; Council should be prepared to pay market value for the other acres; he wanted a copy of the Naylor Act to pursue; that the Committee had to meet with people in the neighborhoods; that this item would come back to the Council on 1/27/93, and the Council would decide to file the notice of intention on all or part of the surplus properties, etc. Mayor Teglia declared a recess at 8:50 p.m. Mayor Teglia recalled the meeting to order at 9:02 p.m., all Council present. Director of Public Works Parini stated that there was a $35,000,000 guaranty to do this project due to the recently approved eligibility agreement. In response to Councilman Yee's questioning, he stated that the estimated construction cost was $22,000,000 - $55,000,000. Mayor Teglia stated that this project was due to efforts from staff and Council, and especially Coun- cilman Drago. Councilman Drago stated that Bob Yee, and Mr. Gee of Sam Trans had put this together. M/S Drago/Penna - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 164-92 Carried by unanimous roll call vote.

Chief Planner Solomon explained that State law required the Housing Element be updated every five years which would have to be again in 1995, and covered the salient points of the document. Mr. Pedro Gonzales, 804 Olive Ave., expressed concern over overcrowding of homes wherein ga- rages and basements were being converted into living quarters without sanitary facilities that puts more cars on the streets. Mayor Teglia stated that they were aware of this, but it was an enforcement problem, and they needed the community's help to address these abuses. Chief Planner Solomon stated that the City had a policy in the Housing Code, however, this does not address that. Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: Councilman Drago felt this was a waste of money and felt the cost should be reported to Assemblywoman Speier or Senator Kopp for legislation to do away with it or give a longer time for the State mandate; if this is not done and the City is sued successfully, we lose the right to issue subdivision maps and permits; this is tied to use of discretionary funds; if there is not a certification the Court would decide if element complies with State law; if certified the City would not have to defend it; this was reviewed by Airport for land use; Councilman Penna felt it should be sent back to address granny units that speak of 600 sq. ft. units for elderly people who live there and rent the upstairs; to send it back to look at parking spaces; page 68 1.C-3 second sentence Design Re- view Board - add "and or stafff; page 85 3.6-1, Councilman Yee encourages this kind of facility and asked that parking be less stringent; that could be addressed in zoning ordinances; City only has discretion if facility is over six beds; Page 90, 3rd line from top "owner occupied" - Councilman Yee thought the Council had dealt with all properties, MIS Drago/Fernekes - To adopt the Resolution. 12/9/92 Page 9 AGENDA fiCTION TAKEN 011 PUBLIC HEARINGS 3.

He stated that the money was there for improvements which the County should be pushed to do, and he was also concerned on how the Creek would handle the rain. Councilman Penna expressed concern over South Spruce being so bad you could grow rice there, and wondered if State funds were available. Mayor Teglia reported on Willow Gardens meeting with property owners to discuss survey on common greens, and would report at next meeting. Councilman Penna stated that Mr. Gonzales had spoken of an unhealthy situation, and wanted the Council property owners accountable for mainte- nance.
