PlanningBoard | 2009-07-27 | 3 | M. Hershey, Marina Village resident, commented that the conditions of approval do not condition the manner in which they should be conducted. He stated that the conditions of approval are not clear enough. N. Shemick, Marina Village resident, spoke in opposition to the banquet/catering facility, as the proposed use would not likely bring with it a dedicated staff who would be interested in developing and maintaining a sense of community. J. Schulze, Marina Village HOA President, spoke in opposition to the proposed use, as it would not be a good neighbor to the existing community, would increase loitering, and would reduce parking access. She also stated that if the project were to get approved, that a resident manager be responsible and available at all times to address neighbor's concerns, so that the HOA would not have to call Alameda Police for each nuisance. S.McDonald, Marina Village resident, stated that another use, similar to the proposed use, already exists in very close proximity and that the neighborhood may be overburdened with another facility. L. Cardoza, Vice Commodore at Oakland Yacht Club, spoke against the project, due to concerns about safety, security, noise, parking and he stated that the current conditions of approval are not specific enough. D. Carroll, spoke against the project, he stated that proposed use would not add to the neighborhood, as it would increase noise, loitering, and would reduce parking availability. B. Steffensen, member of the Oakland Yacht Club, spoke in opposition to the project. He raised concerns that the noise would not be contained within the facility, based on his experiences as a resident when the Tidehouse Restaurant was in operation. Furthermore, he raised concerns about parking and security if the use would move forward as proposed. President Kohlstrand closed the public comment period. 8.
