He questioned the DEIR location for a transportation center at Airport and Grand Ave., and suggested using Oyster Point within the Shearwater Project for its proximity to the only deep water channel in the area, and that it was the logical terminus of a rapid water transit system. He requested authorization, at the appropriate time, for a detailed study to prepare conceptual plans and a feasibility analysis of a combined inter- model transportation center hub/rapid water facility on the Shearwater Project, and suggested that these suggestions be incorporated into the DEIR 2/8/89 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 3.

Chairwoman Teglia stated that all of tonight's comments would be addressed by the Consultants in the EIR. Mr. Fred Bertetta stated that he owned the property at No. Canal and San Mateo Dr., and was concerned in that the plan had a proposed road shown at the site. He questioned who would pay for the road. Mr. Lou Dell'Angela stated that he was representing Park'N'Fly Co., whose pro- perty at Produce and Terminal Court was severely impacted by this proposal. He cited concerns; the intensity levels of the project; that the proposed frontage road would disrupt his Client's present operations; who would pay for the road, and the Utah Ave. overpass; whether there would be more EIRs as the project deve- loped or was this EIR all encompassing; that a development limit should be put in the redevelopment plan as a guideline; whether the plan required general plan amendments; that the linkage between buildout of project and a timetable of public improvements should be addressed; that the Agency should look at adding more office space when there was already an intensity level of office space. Boardmember Addiego stated that this was a program EIR for a large area, and then as the specific components of this area come under review, then there could be another environmental document generated that dealt with that one specific por- tion, rather than starting from square one.
