In addition there were several other supporters from our block who attended but chose not to speak. Everyone who spoke during the 2 minute community presentations,underscored the issues of the increased traffic on Chabot that would be caused by their plan and/or the noise the project will create from pickleball, outdoor amplified sound and a half-court basketball court. There was an ample variety of informed perspectives presented and the Planning Commissioners articulated that they were overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of the community turn-out, passion and concern. In an effort to show some appeasement of the neighborhood's concerns, the JCC came prepared with some concessions they presented and summarized in a memorandum that was shared in an email with our core team literally an hour before the meeting. The planning commissioners, after extensive and perceptive questions to planners, consultants and the JCC on issues relating mostly to traffic safety and security, used the JCC memorandum as the basis of their Conditions of Approval. I am sure that we will get a formal summary of the Conditions of Approval from the Oakland Planning Department tomorrow, but I also know many people are curious about what happened. The project was approved with the following Conditions: 1. Construction vehicles will only use Claremont, not Chabot. 2. They will delete the 4 pickleball courts from their site. 3. Basketball may be played from 9am-9pm (the half-court was not relocated or eliminated) 4. Special events will be held from Saturday at 5 (or an hour after sunset, to 10pm) 5. For the curbs on Claremont and Chabot, the curbs will be painted red to daylight at least 20ft on each side to increase visibility 6. Special events of more than 50 people will use Claremont for both ingress and egress so that traffic will not be on Chabot. 7. Rideshare will have their drop-off on Claremont 8. We will have twice a year meetings with the JCC to check in on issues that may be occuring to come up with solutions to solve them. There were some informal clarifications that the JCC said during their presentations that are not in writing but we will have some on-going discussions with them to pin them down. 1. The JCC described their outdoor amplification system as a PA system for emergency and security situations and events such as graduation. They clarified it was not for blaring music during parties. 2. During special events the road between parking lots will be connected so the lots can work in tandem 3. They will not be asked to pay for an added bulb-out on the south-east corner of College and Chabot. It will not happen. 4. The JCC will share the results of their annual traffic study with us for the first three years they are required to do it. 5. Our recourse if there is too much site noise is to contact the person in the planning office who records issues that are breaking the COA for the project. I feel we did get them to make some changes to their program that without everyone's input they would not have felt the pressure to make-- That said, if people are still dissatisfied there is an appeal process that will be outlined in our email from the City I will share when I receive it. Our understanding is we have a 10 calendar day window to file an appeal. It costs $10K. It would go to the City Council for review. I sent an email to Dan Kalb earlier today asking about the process and if he can support us if we take that route. Others with better notes or memory than I have, please add on to this email if you know I am missing something or misrepresenting something. Exhausted by the last two days but exhilarated by everyone's care, Leslie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ch

My dearest Oakgrovians and Pedestriots! Election season is just about over and I want to thank you all for the incredible support you've shown for me and my campaign. Having a home base like this has been a huge source of comfort and inspiration for me. And now, thank God, it's almost over. Win or lose, I'd love to celebrate with you all tomorrow night. A bunch of my friends and supporters will be gathering at Beer Baron starting around 730 to have some food and drinks and nervously watch the national results together. I'd love if you could join us! We'll be wrapping up around 9 so that people can move on to other election night celebrations. If it fits into your schedule, please stop by and say hello. And if you can't make it, please just know how much I appreciate you all. I'll see you around the neighborhood! --Zac

Hi neighbors, We have a used but still in great condition crib/toddler bed that we are ready to pass along. Anyone need it? I think we have some growing families on the block. I’ll be posting on facebook at the weekend. Thanks, Jan Faraguna 5701
