Rockridge’s Secret Ingredient

by Barbara Anderson, Chairperson

Rockridge is a special place, we all
agree on that. But why? What makes it
so special? Is it the “village-like” charac-
ter of its shops and streets? Or is it the
diversity of its population? Is it the rich-
ness of its urban ways combined with the
familiar and neighborly residential areas?
We each will have some answers to these
questions.

For me, after ten years in Rockridge
and several years of involvement with
RCPC, I believe Rockridge’s secret in-
gredient is the extraordinary number of
people who care enough about our com-
munity to become involved, to spend time
and energy to work together to find solu-
tions.

In 1988 more Rockridge citizens than
ever before shared their concerns in the
public forum. More Neighbors than ever
before participated in community delib-
erations about local development proj-
ects, city management priorities, and
long-term planning issues.

RCPC completed the first phase in the
development of a Rockridge Area Spe-
cific Plan. Hundreds of residents, mer-
chants, and property owners in our com-
munity took the time to fill out surveys
asking about Rockridge today and tomor-
row. Scores more gave up four long
Thursday nights in November to begin the
task of defining our community goals and
making hard choices or compromises to
realize those goals. Many of the same
Neighbors have signed up to continue
working on the challenge of long-range

Dates Calendar Events Calendar Dates

planning for Rockridge within the RASP
Study Groups scheduled to get underway
in the next months.

More and more Neighbors are sharing
the work of staying in touch with city
government and monitoring the work of
city offices and elected officials. Many
Rockridge citizens attended city deficit-
crisis meetings, and budget hearings, and
rallied in support of Measure M to say
“no” to cuts in essential neighborhood
services.

Neighbors put in long hours deliberat-
ing over pending zoning applications.
They took time from their work and
family commitments to appear many
times before the Planning Commission
and the City Council in order to uphold
the integrity of our residential land use
zones. And most recently, two dozen
Rockridge neighbors are committed to
meeting every other week with City staff
and others to develop a program and
funding plan to realize our community’s
number one goal of building a new Rock-
ridge Branch Library.

Rockridge Neighbors are special.
Rockridge Neighbors really care about
where they live. Remember the folks who
rode the pick-up trucks last March and
helped collect over 150 cubic yards of
garden trash in our now annual Spring
Clean-Up? They’ll be back in 1989 with
an expanded program because even more
volunteers are lined up this year.

How Does Oakland
Pay Its Bills?

“Policies, Priorities and Process in
Oakland’s Budget” will be the topic of a
League of Women Voters’ forum open to
the public on Thursday, January 19, 1989,
from 7:30 to 9:30 pm at the Veterans
Memorial Building, 200 Grand Avenue at
Harrison.

Joining Rockridge Neighbor and Eco-
nomic Development Advisory Commis-
sioner Annetta Floystrup on the speakers’
podium will be Ezra Rapport, Assistant to
Oakland’s City Manager, and Victor
Rubin, Associate Director of the Univer-
Ssity/Oakland Metropolitan Forum.

Discussion will focus on where city
budget monies come from and where they
go, how budget policies and priorities are
determined when money is tight, and how
the community can have a voice in
Oakland’s budget-planning process. A
question and answer period is planned.

The event offers free parking, wheel-
chair access, and a $1 donation is re-
quested.

Traffic Disruption Predicted
Sewer Construction
Slated For College,

Monroe Avenues

The Oakland Office of Public Works
has notified Rockridge Neighbors that
work will begin June, 1989 to replace the
sanitary sewer line for Broadway Terrace
(from Harbord to Margarido), Margarido
(from Broadway Terrace to Monroe),
Monroe (from Thomas to Broadway
Terrace) and College Avenue (from Miles
to Manila).

According to City Engineer, Kenneth
Wong, it may be necessary to divert traf-
fic from the project area. During con-
struction of sewers on College Avenue, it
is planned that one north bound traffic
lane will remain open. South bound traf-
fic will be diverted from block to block,
which may impact through cross-streets
such as Miles, Forest, Shafter, Lawton,
and Manila. The anticipated construction
time of the project is four months.

City representatives from Public
Works and Traffic Engineering will be
present at the RCPC General Meeting on
January 18 to explain the project and to
answer questions. Neighbors may also
contact City Engineer Al Pohl at 273-
3437 for further information.

property and the Recycling Center will
be moving.

Several sites in the immediate area
are under consideration, but no final
plans have been made.

The Center remains open seven days
a week to receive newspapers, glass, tin
and aluminum cans, magazines, card-
board and many other materials.

Developer Courts Upper Chabot Road
Tennis Property: Neighbors Rally

Club members and residents living
near the Chabot Canyon Racquet Club
recently were surprised to learn that the
court club owners have entered into an
agreement to sell the Club and its land to
Rockridge-based developer Tony Wilson.

The Racquet Club, owned by a part-
nership of private investors since its
development in 1973, has six courts, a
club house and a membership of approxi-
mately 200 individuals and families. It
sits on about an acre of land between
Chabot Road and Highway 24, with a
portion of the courts extending onto an
additional parcel leased from BART. The
site is zoned for single family houses at
5,000 square feet minimum lot size.

Although no plans for the site have
been proposed, development concerns
prompted Club members and neighbors to
organize meetings and committees to
explore alternatives to development, in-
cluding having the members of the club
purchase and operate it as a member-
owned non-profit club. Immediate neigh-
bors of the Club reactivated the Chabot
Canyon Neighborhood Association,
originally established when the freeway
was constructed.

Contacted by The Rockridge News,
Mr. Wilson confirmed his association’s
interest in the property but pointed out
that many variables remain to be resolved
before any development decisions are
made. For example, he said, if the mem-
bership puts together an acceptable offer

to buy and operate the Club, the Wilsons
will sell it to them. Also, the BART lease
is included in the purchase agreement but
comes with easements and encumbrances
that make development on that portion
problematic. It is possible, he concluded,
that four to six houses could be built on
the Club-owned property.

In addition to the possibility of private
development, the City is studying the
BART land for possible public use. If
BART decides to sell its parcel, it must
first offer the land to public agencies
before offering it for sale on the open
market. Councilmember Marge Haskell
has asked staff to research and report on
BART’s intentions for their parcel and on
how the land may best be used

from Mr. Frederick Hertz at 654-8829.

Nice Work, Guys!

A hearty thanks for a good job

Austin Payne and David Anderson
for starting off the New Year with

they handed over supermarket
bags brimming with trash to a

Zoning Update

Alcatraz Avenue Variance

Ladner-Kampel Properties,

363-367 Alcatraz Avenue

(Zoning File No. V88-460)

The application is for a zoning variance to build a duplex at
the rear of the property with an existing 4 unit building.

The current project as designed would not meet the City’s off-
street parking, side and rear yard setback requirements.

The RCPC Board of Directors recommended that the appli-
cation be denied because, first, the proposed project with design
alterations apparently could be built within the zoning standards,
and, secondly, the current proposed design cannot make the re-
quired findings for a variance.

The City Planning Staff will make an administrative decision

‘~ on the application in mid-January; the staff decision is appealable

by applicant or protestant within a 10 day period.

Out and about on College Avenue recently, the Muse perused
two café exhibits by local photographers. Depicting subjects that
at first glance seem wildly different but that at second thought are
seen to be clearly related, the artists show us both sides of the
same coin: life in the foreground nestled against its varied back-

were taken within a ninety mile radius of Oakland. “My focus,”
he says, “‘is to instill in people an awareness of the abundance of
regional wildlife in the Bay Area and surrounding counties.”

City Council, District 1

Three For The New Year

Now For The Hard Part

The goals for Rockridge have been developed by a hard
working group as part of the Specific Plan effort (Rockridge
News, December 17, 1988) and they are easy to digest. After
all, who could oppose something like “Increase and improve
access to recreational and passive open spaces”? But now
comes the tough part. The real decisions must be framed:
What open spaces? What access routes? And who is to work
on these issues and for which specific objectives? Who will
supervise their accomplishment?

tedious work.

I sometimes hear complaints that only a small group is
interested in this process and that it represents a very parochial
view of Rockridge’s future. I can only ask the question back:
“Who is responsible for such a state if this is your perception?”
The buck stops with all of us.

Keeping Your Child Safe In A Sometimes Unsafe World

Ed. Note: The Rockridge district has been bothered by crime of the
more understandable sort (if there is truly such a thing) but has so far
escaped the horrors of criminal child abduction that have troubled

some other cities. Still, precautions are always important.
Perhaps these hints from the Kevin Collins Foundation will help
Rockridge continue to avoid this plague.

In order to teach your children impor-
tant principles without making them
unduly frightened, the Kevin Collins
Foundation for Missing Children has
prepared the following list as a common
sense “do’s” and “don’ts” approach to
keeping your children safe:

CHECK to make sure your children know their
address, including the town, as well as
their phone number and area code.

Warn your children to beware of strangers -
adults who ask to take their photograph,
offer them rides, candy or other presents.

ALERT your small children that adults
shouldn’t ask them for directions and that
if someone does, they should stay away
from the car and be prepared to run.

AGREE on a secret code word that only you
and your children know; this will allow
your children to verify that someone iden-
tifying him/herself as one of your friends is
one of your friends.

CauTION your children against looking for
you if they become lost. They should go
to a store employee or police officer in-
stead.

EsTaBLIsH a safe meeting place, such as a
checkout counter, for reuniting should you
and your child become separated.

REMEMBER never to leave your child alone in
your car, even for a very brief period.

Point out that strangers cannot order children
around and that they every right to say
“No” if someone tries.

ExpLain to your children that no one has the
right to touch them in places or ways that
make them uneasy or uncomfortable.

Tew your children that no one should ask
them to keep secrets from you and that they
should tell you any secrets that adults have
asked them to keep.

LisTeN when your child doesn’t want to be
with someone; there may be a good reason!

Assure your children that they shouldn’t fear

threats and that you will protect them from
anyone who makes threats.

Ask your children to tell you about any
strangers they meet.

InstTRUCT your children never to answer the
door when home alone and never to tell
anyone over the phone that you are not
home. (A good alternative is to have them
say “my mom/dad is busy.”)

Avorn buying clothing, lunch boxes, etc. with
your child’s name on them to prevent
strangers from calling them by name.

Urce your children to use the “buddy system”
whenever possible and to avoid becoming
a straggler from a group or walking dark
streets alone if at all possible.
