13 III. Discussion and possible direction concerning a policy and procedure for the
14 installation of story poles.
15
16 Commissioner McAllister: The discussion started with Rockridge Pointe. Have
17 collected story pole policies from nearby cities. Novato has the most complete policy of
18 the ones provided. Suggest a policy be applied on discretionary basis by Community
19 Development Department or preliminary SPARC — the need for handout is key and
20 requirement for certification of height.
21
22 Commissioner Asselmeier; Commended Commissioner McAllister for getting this
23 going — asked staff to draft a policy for Commissioner review. Need further discussion
24 on some points — when, certification, removal.

Commissioner von Raesfeld: Liked Novato's policy — need further discussion on
discretion; possibly require "story pole plan" that deals with most important elevations.
Also need some discretion on certification, timing of when to put up and take down, the
need for photographic record for future reference.
Commissioner Dargie: Also liked Novato's policy level of discretion is important -
certification independent of applicant. Support photographic record — do in conjunction
with notice on site — should stay up through appeal.
Commissioner Barrett: Like the idea of story poles in conjunction with project notice
on site. Also support Novato, support certification. Asked staff to recommend minimum
threshold — should be extended to administer projects.
Commissioner von Raesfeld: When is certification required. Need distinction between
Rockridge type of project and "flat land" infill as to when a licensed surveyor is needed.
Commissioner McAllister: Proposed policy needs to be reviewed by SPARC.
IV. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Commissioner Asselmeier: Presentation by the City Attorney on Brown Act.
