PlanningBoard | 2009-07-27 | 2 | 6-B Zoning Administrator Report - The Zoning Administrator approved a Use Permit for 2418 Buena Vista on July 17, 2009, to legalize the existing residential use to legal non-conforming. 7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Anyone may address the Board on a topic not on the agenda under this item by submitting a speaker's information slip, subject to the 5-minute time limit. Board member Lynch motioned to limit speaker times to three minutes, seconded by Board member Cunningham. Motion passed. The following members of the public spoke to the proposed banquet facility at 1051 Pacific Marina. M. Scheck, Vice President Encinal Yacht Club, seconded comments raised in a letter to the Planning Department by Encinal Yacht Club. He raised concerns about the lack of parking and insufficient parking study. He also commented on the conditions of approval and stated that the project would most likely raise significant impacts on the neighbors. T. Cronin, resident at Pacific Marina/member of Oakland Yacht Club, is concerned that fire and emergency response teams would be unable to access the site, due to the increase in traffic and non-orderly parking due to intoxication, should an emergency arise. M. Keen, homeowner of Marina Village, is opposed to the use permit, as the new use would increase noise, increase traffic, and render the neighborhood less desirable. T. Charron, member of the Oakland Yacht Club, stated his dissatisfaction with the use permit review process, and submitted an advertisement that the facility was available for renting. B. Paulsen, Pacific Marina resident, spoke against the use permit, due to noise concerns, security in the parking lot, loitering and the lack of parking in the area. R. Minasi, Resident Manager Marina View Towers, spoke about the lack of parking available, and raised concerns about the continued advertising that the applicant has been posting, when the use permit has not been approved to date. She also states that she is concerned about the noise that the proposed use would create. A. Alexander, Marina Village resident, spoke against the use permit, because there is only one route to access the site, parking will be significantly constrained, noise will increase, and intoxicated people will loiter. P. Redd, Marina Village resident, seconded the previous speaker's comments, and added that the local pets would be regularly be instigated to bark once the flow of traffic starts at the end of events, and stated that she is concerned about traffic accidents in the tubes caused by intoxicated drivers. She would welcome the use as a restaurant, but not as a banquet facility. Page 2 of 4 | PlanningBoard/2009-07-27.pdf |
