PlanningBoard | 2009-01-12 | 3 | In response to a Board inquiry staff stated that the City would make a case about the impact this type of project would have on municipal services and transportation. Board member Cook suggested that a thorough alternative site analysis could include Oak Knoll as an alternative site for the VA facility. Board member Cunningham asked why the deal with the VA had only recently come up. Staff responded that the Navy is interested in an all or nothing proposition. Either the VA takes all the proposed land or none of it. This proposal between the Navy and the VA has been in the works for several years. Board member Cunningham asked how many signatures SunCal would need in order to get the measure on the ballot. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft stated that a percentage of the number of voters who turned out in the last general election would be required. Board member Lynch stated that a VA facility is needed in the community and in the Bay Area. He approves of the site for this purpose. He would not support the VA becoming a tenant of the developer. President Kohlstrand asked if the VA was proposing a below ground cemetery. Staff stated the proposal is for a columbarium not a cemetery. Staff asked if the Board would like a presentation on the VA facility at a future meeting. The Board responded affirmative. 7.
