CityCouncil | 2009-06-02 | 12 | Councilmember Tam inquired what the City paid for the property. The Public Works Coordinator responded that she did not know; stated the land was purchased in the 1950's as part of a land swap when Harbor Bay was first being filled. Councilmember Tam stated that she would not want to be forced into a sale when market conditions are poor. The Public Works Coordinator stated the land is approximately $10 per square foot and is comparable to remnant parcels that the City has been selling for the last three or four years. Councilmember Matarrese moved introduction of the ordinance with direction that proceeds be allocated to the Open Space Fund for purposes of purchasing open space in the future. Councilmember Tam seconded the motion. Under discussion, Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether the land would be used for open space. The Public Works Director responded a roadway would be moved to the parameter and the rest of the area would provide the needed safety area. Vice Mayor deHaan stated previous discussions addressed more activity on the Ron Cowan Parkway side. The Public Works Director stated the City is allowing the Port of Oakland to keep the northwest corner driveway open for a year in order to re-grade the area; then the driveway would be closed; reopening the driveway would require a traffic study.
