PlanningBoard | 2006-02-13 | 4 | 8. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 8-A. PM05-0002/PM05-0003 - Alameda Real Estate Investments - 1090 & 1350 Marina Village Parkway (AT). The applicant is requesting the approval of two parcel maps creating a total of four parcels and the conversion of existing berths, within these four parcels, from rental to condominium ownership. These parcels cover existing marina facilities only. No new residential or commercial uses are proposed. No new construction or alteration of existing facilities is proposed. All existing easements and permit requirements concerning, but not limited to, open space, public access and vehicular access will remain in effect. (Continued from the meeting of January 23, 2006) Supervising Planner Andrew Thomas presented the staff report. Staff `recommended approval of this item. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Thomas Charrone noted that he was a property owner of a townhouse at Marina Village, as well as a director of the Oakland Yacht Club. He believed that while he had no opinion of the proposed project, it was well conceived and legal. He expressed concern about the long-term maintenance of the common properties and the accumulation of trash near the gates. He was also concerned about the maintenance of the parking areas, and did not want it to suffer because of conflicts within the homeowners association or other parties. He expressed concern about access from the parking lots for users of the marina. He would like the tenants of liveaboards to have right of first refusal for marina slips as they come up for sale, as well as the opportunity to move into rented slips. He would like renters of slips to be protected from eviction if the slip is sold to anyone but the owner/user or blood relative of the owner. In response to an inquiry by Member Kohlstrand regarding Mr. Charrone's concerns regarding slip tenants, Ms. Harryman replied that this issue had not come up before and that she would research the legal implications and bring that information back to the Planning Commission. The public hearing was closed for Board discussion. Board member Lynch noted that he did not believe the Board should become involved in slip rental issues, and that it should be left to the homeowners association and other private parties. He did not believe the maintenance of trash by Gates 8 and 9 were the purview of the Planning Board, and that it was a marina management issue. Mr. Thomas noted that the current system of CC&Rs and cross-access easements seems to be working for the maintenance of the common areas, and for access to the shared facilities. He noted that the easements and provisions in the CC&Rs would remain as they currently are. Regarding the issue on the liveaboards, whether the marina remains in its current status or records a condo plan, the Marina would always be limited by the BCDC restriction of 10% liveaboards.
