AGENDA ITEMS - PUBLIC HEARINGS - continued
Mr. Warden advised the Commission of Industrial Indemnity's
ownership of the property and the retaining of Dames and Moore to
assess the pollution and toxics on the property and future clean-up.
Mr. James explained the Airports Commission objection to the
residential component and felt the noise survey was limited and
needed a more extensive assessment.
Commissioner Zellmer felt there was an error in Section 4.2.2.1 of
the draft SEIR with regard to the amount of the Fire Department's
annual budget.
The Commission asked Mr. Salter various questions regarding the noise
study. Mr. Salter explained that noise Monitor 15 is located about
3,000 feet south of Shearwater. He hypothesized that the readings at
the monitor would be 2 or 3 decibels higher than at Shearwater
because planes fly higher over Shearwater than over Monitor 15. The
hypothesis was field tested over a five hour period. The results
concluded that Shearwater was estimated to be about 5 decibels lower
than Monitor 15. Monitor 15 had a recent CNEL level of 63.
Shearwater was then estimated at 5 decibles lower or 58 CNEL. He
further explained that an averaging of noise events is used to
determine the CNEL. The Commission felt that single events should be
included in the report so a clearer picture of the noise pattern
could be shown. Mr. Salter indicated that averaging was appropriate
and a fair way of determining the CNEL.
Staff informed the Commission that any change in the Shearwater
Specific Plan would have to come back before the Planning Commission.
Motion-Zellmer/Second Warren: To direct staff to address all
comments and prepare a Final SEIR for City Council consideration.
Unanimously approved by roll call vote.
pak'N Save, Draft ErR, EIR-87-11
Public hearing on the Draft EIR for a multi-tenant facility,
including a 24-hour warehouse grocery store in an existing
building at 2255 Gellert Boulevard.
Chairman Terry announced that pak'N Save's attorney has asked for
a continuance of the hearing to the March 31, 1988 Planning
Commission meeting.
Chairman Terry opened the public hearing.

AGENDA ITEMS - PUBLIC HEARINGS - continued
Mr. Waters thanked staff for notifying the community of the
public hearing. He felt the Draft EIR did not answer the traffic
impacts of projects that have not yet been started or completed,
such as the development of Callan's property on Carter Drive and
the new community center on Galway Drive.
Mr. Sack described a recent traffic incident near the
intersection of Westborough and Gellert Boulevards, signifying
traffic problems in the Westborough area.
Mr. Churchwell felt increased traffic from outside of the City
might lead to an increase in crime.
Motion-Zellmer/Second Mantegani: To continue EIR-87-11 to the
March 31, 1988 Planning commission meeting. Unanimously approved
by voice vote.
Chairman Terry asked that EIR-87-11 be placed first on the March
31 agenda.
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION
Commissioner Warren reported a large RV parked on the lawn on
Hillside Boulevard between Franklin and Linden Avenues.
ITEMS FROM STAFF
Deputy City Attorney Ewing reported that the Court ruled in favor
of the owners of the property at 300 Shaw Avenue regarding the
constitutionality of the City's sign ordinance. He said a
response is being prepared and a trial will probably be held in
the Spring.

Chairman Terry adjourned the meeting at 8:45 p.m. to March 17,
