Hi Gregg:
I have taken a quick look at the packet. Just a few comments /questions:
(1) Please let us know the time /location of the September 9 Informational Meeting.
Date /Time: Monday, September 9th at 6:00pm.
Location: City Hall- Community Room
(2) August 20, 2013 Minutes: III, fourth bullet point, please correct the spelling of
"View ". IVa., fifth paragraph, what does "making improvements 'organically... mean?
IVa., Councilmember Selich's comment: after "look ", please at the word "at ". IVa.,
Committee Member Batley's comment: I believe I may have mentioned that the
Newport Blvd- fronting retail across from the old City Hall should also be reviewed to
see if we might encourage work -live or other tasteful mixed used development of that
strip - -- particularly in light of the upscale boutique hotel which may be developed
across the street on the old City Hall site. VI, second paragraph, second sentence:
needs to be rewritten to the effect that previously available public parking may be
lost if the proposed boutique hotel project proceeds.
1
Organically was meant to suggest that the other projects in the area (City Hall re-
use, Via Lido townhomes, etc.) could be result in investment and re- development from
other property owners without the need to change policies or codes.
(3) At our meeting on September 3, will we see the "visual" re the bayside of the
Mariner's Mile corridor requested by Councilmember Gardner? Yes
(4) Would you and Dave Webb please discuss the outcome of your meeting with the
owners on the Buena Vista Open Space issue?
(5) There are two issue here, 1) the use of the Buena Vista public right of way and 2) the
open space land use designation of the private property bayward of the Buena Vista
right of way. I'm meeting with the property owners later this week to discuss the
private property. Tony Brine or Dave Webb will provide an update on the right of way
issue at the meeting.
(6) August 29, 2013 Memorandum on Mariner's Mile: were the property owners of Sites 1,
2, and 3 consulted /interviewed on the analysis /assumptions /conclusions presented?
No. This was an independent analysis.
Sorry to bother you with these questions. I'm getting better at understanding the issues, but
still a little in the dark on some things.
Best regards and hope you are enjoying the Labor Day weekend,
Paul
