Joint Statement of the Coalition and Beth El -- July 24, 2001
|
Presented to the Berkeley City Council, July 24, 2001
Presented by the following two parties: Congregation Beth El Synagogue; and Coalition of Neighborhood and Environmental Groups
Mediator: Peter Bluhon, Bluhon Planning Group
After 8 weeks of diligent, hard work on the part of all parties, the mediation has successfully yielded an agreement on the site plan and many other important elements. The Parties jointly urge the Council to approve tonight Beth ElŐs application as modified by:
- The drawing page A2.0, Supplement #7, dated July 23, 2001; and
- To replace permit condition #C-7 with the alternate text recommended jointly by the Parties, which addresses parking.
The Parties will continue discussions toward the goal of reaching a comprehensive settlement agreement. Among the issues are:
a. Beth El's cooperation regarding the future of Codornices Creek on the site;
b. Beth El's protection from future suits and challenges regarding the project.
