Otairman Schlehuber opened the public hearing at 7:26
p.m. and issued the invitation to speak.
Mr. Albert Kercheval, Kercheval and Associates, Inc.,
9420 Farnham Street, San Diego, addressed the
camdssioo, stating his firm is under oontract for the
design of the highway and bridge on the subject project.
Be stated it is 75 percent undetway, and they are
awaiting the ruling of any mitigation fran the EIR.
Mr. Kercheval stated the noise level had been discussed
and would be resolved as they carry out the design.
camdssioner Schlehuber asked whether baffle walls had
been considered, and Mr. Kercheval answered on the south
edge. In answer to whether it would be four feet high,
he stated it could be, but would not be aesthetically
pleasing. It oould be a ooncrete block or jersey rail.
'lbat would help kill the noise. The noise level is at
the maxinl.un where the transition is fran the fill and
the tq, of the existing wall make the change--could be
150 feet or so.
In anwer to query, Mr. Kercheval indicated that a jersey
rail was described as a ooncrete barrier, such as is on
the freeway, which could be used on both sides as safety
feature, as well as blocking noise patterns. Also, the
height of a jersey rail was given as 2 feet 6 inches.
This effectively screens the noise and provides safety,
and a higher wall would not be necessary.
The Camrl.ssion determined fran information provided by
staff that the noise level in the nobile hane park is 70
decibels except for ooe small area in the interior that
is 65 decibels. There is no way this level can be
lowered, but the problem is to keep this level fran
going any higher.
Mr. Hiram Hoskin, 7307 San Luis, representing the
Lakeshore Gardens Association, addressed the Camrl.ssion
regarding the ooise inpact to the park. His oomnents
are attached as part of the reaord.
Mrs. Rubye Karo, 7006°San Bartolo, addressed the
camdssioo regarding the safety and security of
Lakeehore Gardens, and her oomnents are attached
as part of the reoord.
Since no one else wished to speak on this matter, the
public teetino,y was closed at 7:43 p.m.
The ca.nissioo discussed the wall surrounding the park
and it vaa determined to be 5 feet in height fran the
inside of the parlc and 6 feet fran the outside. The
1apact of the ooise at the spot where the road o:mes
above the wall was discussed and where the roac:May is
above the wall for a distance of approximately 350 feet.
The camniBSioo addressed the safety and security
pcd>l-which exlat in the park, but determined they
are alrealy problema that exist and would not be
exacerbated by this project.
oo..iaaioner Roax>tis stated the EIR adequately
a1dreaed the noise problem. A minute notion oould be
aL1e regardi.BJ the jersey rail, but othetwise he felt
the BIR recognized all oonsequences.

O:mnissiaier Jose agreed that the noise level is already
at 70 and 65 decibels and nothing will solve the noise
fran I-5. Re felt the EIR was adequate and a minute
rmtioo to the City Council to consider what funds oould
be made available to mitigate the noise l«>llld be
apprq>riate.

public testinaly was closed at 7:58 p.m.

Mr. Chi-5hine Tao, 2842 Caz~ro, addressed the
Ccmnission as a property owner adjacent to the subject
preperty. Re urged the Carrnission to approve this
request.
'1'he Assistant City Attorney stated this request was not
cnnsistent with the General Plan as the City Attorney's
office reads it.
'Ille General Plan allows for 10 to 20 units per acre, and
30 units would be a 50 percent increase in the allowable
density. After OJDferring with staff as to ability of
streets to hamle additional traffic and the general
character of the neighborhood, the City Attorney's office
ooncluded this project was not oonsistent. The original
staff determination was made in error.
'Ille Carrnission discussed the different alternatives
available to the AR)licant on this project and the
feasibility of increased density in this area.
