Interest, Qualifications Of 1990 RCPC Board Nominees

Elizabeth Allen
Boyd Avenue
Incumbent

My family and I have lived in the
Rockridge area at our current Boyd
Avenue address for the past 21 years
and I have served on the RCPC Board
for the past 2 years. I have found that
Rockridge is an excellent community in
which to live and to raise a family. My
daughter, Rehema, attended Chabot
Elementary & Head-Royce schools and
is currently attending the University of
Rochester in New York. I feel that
Rockridge afforded an environment in
which she and other youngsters were
able to grow morally, socially, aca-
demically, and politically.

During my tenure as an RCPC
Boardmember, I have been a part of
many issues, struggles, and accomplish-
ments: Library relocation, rezoning and
parking issues, the Dreyer’s conflict,
RASP organization, boundaries
changes, and many others.

If re-elected to the RCPC Board, as
an educator (vice-principal), my vision
continues to focus primarily on the
acceptance of diverse cultures and life
styles, and on the safety of our chil-
dren.

Lisa Curet
5800 block of Lawton Avenue
Incumbent

I am currently a member of the
RCPC board of directors having been
appointed by the board in November of
1989. I have lived in the Rockridge
community for the past two years and
would like to continue to serve on the
RCPC board.

I am concerned about the future of
the Rockridge area. Rockridge repre-
sents a diverse community of busi-
nesses, homeowners, and renters requir-
ing active neighborhood involvement to
balance the competing needs of all.
RCPC provides a forum for those diver-
gent interests. There is much in our
community worthy of protection and
preservation and also opportunities for
development which can meet the needs
of all residents and businesses. RCPC
provides an opportunity to resolve the
varying interests of our community. I
have had the opportunity to serve the

community on the board and I would
like to continue representing my neigh-
bors in the planning of our community.

Nancy Dutcher
Ivanhoe Road
Incumbent

I have served on the current Board
of RCPC as Secretary, and Co-chair of
the Rockridge Library Committee. As
a resident of Rockridge for more than
forty years I’ve seen many changes in
both our City and neighborhood. Rock-
ridge has been, and still is a fine neigh-
borhood for many economic levels/pro-
fessions/lifestyles, and this diversity is
what makes it an exciting place to live.

For many years, I have been actively
involved in the local schools and com-
munity, and have worked towards re-
taining the qualities of Rockridge that
have made it a good place to live. Some
of the areas of my concern are: com-
mercial development which serves the
people of our community, and that is in
scale with the existing College Ave.
commercial strip; a new Rockridge
Library; on-going communication be-
tween residents and merchants; net-
working with other neighborhood
groups to strengthen the neighbor-
hoods’ position with the City; and,
above all, good communication with all
our Rockridge neighbors.

Alisa Michaels Metzner
Belgrave Place

I have been a resident of Rockridge
for over three years. I choose to live in
Rockridge because of the unique iden-
tity and spirit of the community.

I wish to constructively contribute
to the future of our community by join-
ing the RCPC Board of Directors. In
addition to being an active member of
the Rockridge Library Committee, my
qualifications include an extensive
background in; management consult-
ing, project development, risk assess-
ment, quality assurance, organizational
development, and creative problem
solving.

If elected, I will work towards:

* Development of a Library.

* Development of a park or tot-lot.

* Coordinating a community-wide

crime watch program.

¢ Creating community-wide earth-
quake and emergency prepared-
ness plans.

* Raising support for public schools.

* Demanding increased City serv-
ices based on the high proportion
of taxes generated by Rockridge.

¢ Strengthening the current commu-
nity character through consistent
building and commercial growth.

¢ Limitation of boarding house or
hotel-type housing.

Ronnie Polonsky
Lawton Avenue

I’ve lived in Rockridge for 20 years.
It was, 20 years ago, an affordable,
pleasant neighborhood with a commer-
cial strip running through it. Rockridge
embodied for me the best a city can
offer.

Twenty years has brought to Rock-
ridge: BART, an upscale College Ave,
wildly expensive homes, and our neigh-
borhood has been crowned “in.”
Twenty years has taken from Rock-
ridge: a library, a post office, service
stores, uncongested streets, and ano-
nymity.

While no one can tur back the
clock, those of us who live in and love
Rockridge would like to see the best of
it remain and its commercial growth
controlled. Specifically, I am opposed
to Dreyer’s corporate headquarters
being established on College Ave, I
support construction of a new library
with some land used for play structures.
I believe Oakland’s neighborhood
groups need to unite to exert pressure
on city officials to cease putting large
monied interests above neighborhood
concerns.

Shelley R. Poticha
63rd Street

I have lived in Rockridge as a renter
for over four years, and am a City Plan-
ner and Urban Designer by trade. Af-
ter seeing the numerous changes that
have taken place over that time, I have
developed a deep concern about the
future of the neighborhood. I want to
work to ensure that the neighborhood’s
vitality and accessibility is enhanced
and preserved in the future.

Candidate Statements
from page 2

Rockridge is one of the most livable
neighborhoods in the Bay Area. As the
economic viability of the area in-
creases, it will be most important to
define clear paths for growth and
change, such as establishing commer-
cial use and design standards, ensuring
that residential areas continue to be liv-
able, identifying traffic and parking
solutions, completing the Rockridge
Area Specific Plan, and preparing a
well conceived plan for the BART sta-
tion.

Additionally, I hope to encourage
other renters to become more involved
in planning for the future of the neigh-
borhood.

RCPC Suit Continues Challenge
To Dreyer’s Project EIR

from page 1

for January 19. The next critical junc-
ture beyond January 19 will be the full
hearing on the merits of the case. Fol-
lowing the hearing on the merits, the
court will decide whether or not the EIR
must be re-done and whether Dreyer’s
may use the residential lots for non-resi-
dential purposes.

RCPC expects to pursue all avenues
of litigation and will continue to con-
tend that the EIR was grossly inade-
quate and that the use permits were un-
lawfully issued.

BACKGROUND

In the Spring of last year, RCPC
submitted comments to the Oakland
Planning Commission about concerns
related to the Draft Environmental Im-
pact Report for the Dreyer’s office proj-

Montclarion Says 1989
“Rocky” For RCPC

In its retrospective look at events of
1989, a local newspaper reported on
neighborhood planning activities, and
cited some events of the past year in-
volving RCPC.

Calling it a “rocky year for the or-
ganization,” the Montclarion recalled
the audit by the state attorney general’s
office of RCPC’s publication expenses
for 1986 and 1987, and the continuing
dispute over a grant of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds made to the organization.

Throughout its reporting on the au-
dit, the Montclarion made a mountain
out of a molehill. Triggered by an
anonymous and unfounded complaint,
the audit merely confirmed that RCPC
has been meeting its financial and ethi-
cal expectations as a non-profit organi-
zation.

Reporting on the CDBG grant, the
Montclarion said it had been denied by
the city. This is incorrect. The grant
was awarded and later rescinded by the
North Oakland Community District
Council (NOCDC) who said they had
found more urgent uses for the funds.
The city’s role is only to affirm or to
override the NOCDC decision. The city
has taken no action on the District
Council decision.

— Don Kinkead

ect. The comments addressed the likely
significant negative impacts which were
not identified in the Draft EIR, and other
gross inadequacies of the document.

RCPC has been attempting to show
that community comments were com-
pletely ignored by consultants preparing
the Final EIR, by the Planning Com-
mission, and by the Oakland City Coun-
cil, who ultimately certified the EIR as
adequate, concluding that the new
Dreyer’s expansion would have no
negative impacts requiring mitigation
measures. In addition, RCPC says the
City totally ignored substantial public
sentiment recommending reasonable
changes to make the development more
compatible with the existing neighbor-
hood.

As a result of the Council’s decision,
RCPC filed suit against the City last
September, seeking to invalidate the
permits pending completion of a proper
EIR.

Planning Council

We print this information at least annu-
ally to help new residents keep informed
about RCPC’s organization and purpose.

The RockripGE CoMMUNITY PIANNING
Counci, (RCPC) is a non-profit Neigh-
borhood planning association recog-
nized by the City of Oakland. The
general purpose of the association is to
promote community involvement in
Neighorhood planning and zoning, traf-
fic control, area development, and in
combatting community deterioraton; and
to serve as a liaison between the commu-
nity and the Oakland Planning Commis-
sion. RCPC monitors local activity re-
lated to planning, environmental issues,
teal estate development, transportation
and other services and shares its findings
with Rockridge Neighbors. Its members
communicate regularly with the City
Planning Department, the Planning
Commission and the City Council, as
well as with other Neighborhood groups.

Organized by Residents

RCPC was organized by residents in
the early 1970’s in response to concerns
about our Neighborhood environment.
RCPC is a volunteer organization. Al-
ladult residents of Rockridge qualify for
membership. As there are no member-
ship dues, the organization solicits dona-
tions (see coupon this page) and puts on
occasional fundraisers.

Board of Directors

RCPC is led by an eleven member
Board of Directors, including one voting
director appointed by the College Ave-
nue Merchants Association (CAMA).
Directors serve for staggered terms of
two years. Five at a time are elected each
year by the General Membership at the
Annual Meeting.

Newsletter

RCPC sponsors the monthly publica-
tion and free distribution of The Rock-
ridge News. This publication reaches
4,500 residents and 200 businesses,
thanks to the volunteer efforts of more
than 140 residents who serve as district
and block captains throughout our
Neighborhood.

The News is wholly supported by do-
nations from residents and advertise-
ments from local businesses and local
residents.

The College Avenue Merchants Association (CAMA), in
conjunction with the City of Oakland’s Graffiti Abatement

In My View...

Comments by Marge Gibson-Haskell
City Council, District 1

City Council To Consider
Rate Increase For
Household Trash Collection

The City Council will soon be considering a rate
increase for household trash collection by the
Oakland Scavenger Company of 7% in 1990 and
5.9% in 1991, plus an additional .88% for residential
users to finance the cost of houschold hazardous
waste. Commercial enterprises must dispose of haz-
ardous waste in accordance with Federal and State
standards and will not be assessed the additional
amount.

County RATE Boarp Supports INCREASE

The Alameda County Joint Refuse Rate Review
Committee, comprised of representatives from the 13
jurisdictions in Alameda County served by Oakland
Scavenger, supports these rate increases. The Com-
mittee’s recommendation is based in part on the rise
in the Consumer Price Index in the Bay Area, the fact
that there has been no rate increase since 1983, and
the rate of return and operating losses of the Scaven-
ger Company.

TELL ME Your Views

Before this matter comes to the Oakland City
Council for action, I would like to hear the views of
the community; the discussion need not solely ad-
dress the proposed rate increase but may also include
your thoughts on curbside vs. back yard pickup serv-
ices, curbside recycling, or a reverse rate structure
based on volume, i.e., a smaller charge for the first
can, and escalating fees for additional containers.
ScAVENGER AND City Reps AT RCPC MEETING

At the next RCPC General Meeting on Wednes-
day, January 17, a representative of the Scavenger
Company and a City staff person will be present to
listen to and respond to your concerns. If you are
unable to attend the meeting but wish to communi-
cate your thoughts to me, please write to me at 505-
14th Street, Suite 642, Oakland, CA 94612, or call

tant, at 273-3266.

Library Committee
Begins Campaign
For Signatures

Buoyed by encouraging library sur-
vey results, the Library Committee is
moving toward setting up an assess-
ment district to help fund the new li-
brary. In the coming months, library
committee members and Neighborhood
volunteers will be collecting signatures
on a petition requesting that the ques-
tion of forming an assessment district
be put on the November 1990 ballot.

The City Manager’s office is cur-
rently working on the number of par-
cels to be included in the assessment
district. Boundaries would be within
current RCPC boundaries, plus the area
following Broadway Terrace (northside
of street only) between Broadway and
Highway 13. Vacant land will be ex-
cluded from the assessment.

Although costs are still being tallied
— and other sources of funding ex-
plored — the assessment is expected to
be for no more than $25 per year per
household and for up to 30 years.

The petition drive will be getting
underway in February. To help collect
signatures on the petition in your neigh-
borhood, call Nancy Dutcher at 653-
6018.

1/2 cost per spouse). Sessions will begin at 7 p.m., end at 9
p.m., and have a short refreshment intermission in between.
This course can be taken for graduate credit. Contact the
