Secretary Hale presented the staff report. Proponents: Mr. F. J. Prendergast, representing SSF boat owners 3717 Erris Court South San Francisco, CA Mr. Rene Dussak South San Francisco resident Opponents: Mr. Douglas Butler 133 Adrian Way South San Francisco, CA Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Dussak expressed their interest in developing the Marina. Mr. Prendergast noted that although this expansion would probably cause berthing fee and somewhat of a loss of identity, that the yacht owners were very much in favor of the expansion as they felt it would be quite beneficial for the City of South San Francisco. He also clarified a point made at the previous meeting on the ErR which referred to yacht owners as millionaires by stating that the majority of the yacht owners were in fact middle class residents and that their yachts were their main form of recreation. Mr. Butler expressed his belief that the EIR for the Expansion of the Oyster Point Marina is inadequate. He noted that there was no input from the Planning Commission or the Parks and Recreation Commission and that there had been no adequate needs assessment. He stated that there also was no financial impact statement incorporated EIR. He felt that the Marina was another extension of the 'Industrial Park and that it should not be taking a place among the City's top priority projects. He felt that the EIR had not dealt adequately with air, water and noise pollution problems. Dick Milkovich, Director of Parks and Recreation, City of South San Francisco, stated that 41 agencies had reviewed the ErR and that it had adequately dealt with questions by both the County of San Mateo and the City of South San Francisco He noted that this expansion of the Marina would provide hiking, biking, fishing, a larger beach area, additional boating facilities, restaurant facilities and that the expansion would be greatly beneficial for the City of South San Francisco residents and would provide revenues for the City itself. The Commission raised the question as to why the amount for Fuel Dock on the Income and Operating Expense Summary dropped drastically from 1976-77 to 1977-78. Dan McNichols of Williams, Kubbelbeck and Associates noted that by that point in time the City could possibly lease the fuel dock to a private operator which would almost eliminate its maintenance costs to the City. June 10, 1975 EIR/Oyster Point Mar-ina" Cont'd The Commission also requested to know when the recreational facilities would be completed Dick Milkovich stated that the new park area would probably not be developed until after 1978. He stated that the new section would have to be completed first to allow the new section to be utilized, freeing the old section for development. Dick Milkovich also explained the funding of this project, stating that the monies would be borrowed from the California Department of Navigation and Ocean Development over several years and paid back slowly at 4-1/2 percent interest. He also expalined that the City had the option of only paying back the interest on the loan for the first five years, until the project is completed. The Commission requested to know if plans exist for accessibility to the area and what could be done to be certain that South San Francisco residents would get the most benefit. Dick Milkovich replied that accessibility was being considered, but that there was nothing concrete on this to date. He also pointed out several techniques used by other cities in assuring that their residents were the first provided for, but that South San Francisco had not worked out any definite plans along these lines. Commissioner Raffaelli introduced the resolution to certify the EIR's com- pliance with State and City guidelines. It was accepted and passed by the following roll call vote: AYES: Vice-Chairman Commissioners Lazzari, Mullin, Raffaelli, Teglia and Chairman Hale NOES: None ABSTAINED: Commissioner Mathewson UP-75-309 UP-75-309, a request of David and Shirley Gori to construct a la' x IS' room addition at 2624 Duhallow Way.

Wasserteil 168 Roosevelt San Francisco, CA 94114 Opponent: None There was some discussion on whether the hours of operation should be re- stricted. The Police Department felt that this facility could cause some problems and wanted to restrict the hours to close at 10:00 p.m. However, the Commission felt that this restriction was perhaps unnecessary; therefore, the above condition #38 was devised. Commissioner Mathewson moved that UP-75-314 be approved subject to the appli- cant complying with the conditions of the staff report, the added condition #38, and the attached conditions of the City Engineer, Common Greens Division, the Acting Fire Marshall, and the Police Department.

GOOD AND WELFARE The Commission requested a written report from staff, incorporating comments from the Police Department, on what steps could be taken to alleviate the problems that have developed in Westborough Square, possibly as a result of the Arcade. Commissioner Mathewson presented an article on a public hearing by Caltrans to consider the widening of El Camino Real between Hickey Boulevard and Arroyo Drive. The Commission requested to know what was happening with the 7-Eleven Store at Callan and King.
