PlanningBoard | 2010-05-10 | 5 | Ms. Gordon, Alameda resident, is concerned about the environmental and traffic impacts that the project would generate. Mr. Smallman, Alameda resident, stated that the trust between the people and the developer is insufficient to sustain a working relationship. Mr. Daysog, Alameda resident, noted support for an appropriate development at this site. Ms. Turpen, Alameda resident, noted her opposition to a development with 3,800 dwelling units that will generate significant traffic impacts. She is upset that the current proposal is the same as the one that was rejected in the special election. Ms. Fetherolt, Alameda resident spoke in opposition to the Sun Cal plan, citing increased traffic impacts on Alameda and Chinatown, placement of residences on toxic land in a seismically vulnerable area. She also noted redevelopment of Alameda Point in the proposed manner is disrespectful of its this site's past. Mr. Dileo, Alameda resident, supports the return to the original Preliminary Development Concept that meets density requirements and recommended that the City's relationship with Sun Cal be discontinued. Mr. Bangert, Alameda resident, is concerned about the misleading placement of a solar farm on all maps on the Northern Territories at Alameda Point especially when the solar farm has not been vetted by the Public Utilities Commission. He is also concerned that the regional park has been downgraded without obtaining approval from citizens. Ms. Dieter, Alameda resident, expressed concern with the amount of land fill that will be required during the life construction of this project and that it will have a significant transportation impact, which should be analyzed in the EIR. She is also concerned with building in a seismically active zone and stated this needs to be included in the environmental analysis as well. She recommended including the preferred alternative from the 1999 Alameda Point EIR as an alternative in the next EIR. Mr. Jordan, Alameda resident, expressed opposition to extending the exclusive negotiating agreement with Sun Cal. He recommended restoring Alameda Point to its original function as a wetland and he noted concern with traffic impacts. He also supports the City of Alameda being the master developer. Mr. Sikora, Alameda resident, stated his opposition to this project and added that Sun Cal is a developer that will not keep its promises to the City. Mr. Arnerich, Alameda resident, expressed opposition to the project. President Ezzy Ashcraft closed the public comment period.
