in the Treasury
Committee Reports:
Zoning: Bud Wilson reporting. The Plg Dept. is presenting the
Housing Element of City Action Plan to the Plg Commission on 3/27/03. The Hayes
Valley component of the Housing Element will follow demolition of the Central
Freeway.
Ocean Avenue Revitalization: Paul Conroy reporting: Ingleside
Terrace passed a resolution that the pylon at Ocean & Victory be removed.
There was opposition to this so the pylon may have to stay or be relocated.
Paul reported that he asked the Plg. Commission to make Phelan Loop Plaza larger
than current plans. WTPCC sent a letter to Commission supporting a larger Plaza.
He asked that it be included in 3/24/03 minutes.
Stonestown Village: Karen Niglio reporting: There was a large
attendance at the Plg. Commission hearing on 2/27 re the Stonestown DEIR. The
date of the hearing and end of public comment period had been incorrectly reported
in a newsletter circulated by PR company, BergDavis. The commission therefore
extended the date for public comment to 3/17/03. At the Plg. Commission hearing,
there were many people testifying about inaccuracies in the Stonestown DEIR.
Lakeshore Plaza: Ron Chun reporting: Re McDonald's appeal to Bd
of Appeals to redefine a hamburger as a sandwich, Sup. Hall has asked in local
papers for comments about whether neighbors wanted a sit down restaurant that
serves hamburgers. (Sean Ellsbernd commented that Hall's office has received
about 70 e-mails and phone calls in favor and two opposed) Ron said that the
CU specifically excludes a hamburger. A regular restaurant is okay, but not
if it serves hamburgers primarily. That kind of restaurant would generate, over
time, a lot of odors. The issue is also the type of crowd it would attract Ron
urged members to contact Hall regarding their issues re Lakeshore Plaza.
Lowell High School: None
Website: Avrum Shepard reporting: The cost of website would be
about $300 a year, $15 monthly for maintenance & $50 site fee Info about
organization history, mission statement, member associations, links to websites

city organizations, & departments. It could contain information about issues
such as currently Stonestown and Lakeshore Plaza. A website is ongoing making
