Commissioner Woolsey - inquired if the traffic for the proposed Factory Outlet that will impact this site was taken into account. Alan'Tilton - felt traffic signal improvements would improve traffic flow. Commissioner Read - traffic study not complete enough against added employees; cross- over easement into Lucky's critical; lack of employee parking; impact of surrounding uses. Commissioner Woolsey - doesn't believe carwash won't impact traffic; observed Mr. Weiner's carwash in Sausalito and felt it was heavily impacted. Commissioner Bennett - intersection intensification of use seen in two other projects; cannot support findings of adverse impacts on traffic on environment; traffic major issue, not type of carwash. Commissioner Parkerson - main concern is traffic impacts; given size of property, number of uses and traffic flow, not convinced intensification of use ' on the intersection is good; appears site needs some adjustment somewhere to accommodate cars.

Michael Tanae 17 ,Halsey - close -knit community; concerned with traffic 'and safety for adults as well as children walking on Halsey; presented petition to Commission. Steve LaFranchi John Fitzgerald. & Associates gave short history of Dr. Jonas' tenure in neighborhood; concern is to create a quality subdivision; since applicant, only has control of 31 feet of entrance roadway, they designed accordingly and propose no parking; feels cul- de -sac not needed as they are not increasing usage of area; _ subdivision will collect all surface runoff and deposit it in a storm drain which would also allow neighbors to tap into to alleviate minor flooding. Bill Sullivan 24 Halsey - spoke on traffic, water runoff;.feels Dr. Jonas willing to work. with City; feels City is getting something for nothing with cul -de -sac - does not think it is needed. Steve LaFranchi - access roadway only for 100 feet and has no parking. Olive Kildow 14 Fairview Terrace - enjoys view and wants to preserve it; what type of houses? Access on Olive:not considered open; house adjacent to access would have no side yard. Steve LaFranchi applicant willing to install soundwall and doublepane windows to mitigate noise for home bordering access road. Commissioner Parkerson - staff has given the Commission a great deal more input since the meeting of August28th. Commissioner Woolsey - will access road go in `now? Will there be no road, unless property owners request it? Director Salmons - trying to provide opportunity to those lots for access to a public street, perhaps at a.later date. It is an easement that could be converted later. Commissioner Libarle measurements on Olive confusing; what would be allowed on property it applicant not allowed to.get the ten.feet? Director Salmons - depends on the will of the Commission, City Council, and current zoning, Allan.Tilton City Traffic Engineer - general measurement is 20 dwelling units to serve off a 32 foot cul -de -sac street. In smaller neighborhoods, hammerhead can be successful. Real issue is maintaining residential feeling. Commissioner Woolsey = no parking .is a moot point since there is still the space; feels we must be flexible when it comes to roads, with the City building internally instead. of building out to the mountains. Commissioner. Tarr - access road coming into Lot 8 - is it a safe turn? Commissioner Bennett - Would 32 foot wide curb -to -curb road be adequate for 16 lots for traffic safety? Allan Tilton recommendation for wider street due for need for emergency access; would not reduce street width unless less than eight dwelling unity proposed. Commissioner Parkerson - 32 foot curb- to- curb..street width should be minimum; is not ready to act on this issue until access questions are resolved. 0 3 mx 259 Commissioner Bennett - regarding the emergency turnaround, do we go by the book or get creative? Commissioner Libarle - why did Halsey get a turnaround when it will stay a dead -end street? Dr. Jonas 515 Hayes - doesn't want anything on Halsey; doesn't want a turnaround; has been to the Commission twice; has provided access without parking; feels he has met safety issue; his ' engineer is on vacation for 3 weeks; he wants to satisfy concerns of the Commission, and will :accept bringing his project back on 10/23 but asks for due diligence in getting earliest Council date following the 10/23 meeting. The public'hearing was closed. • It was the consensus of the Commission to continue this item to the October 23, 1990 . meeting, with instructions to the applicant's engineer to provide detailing for the access road, and to staff toreview flag access to neighboring lots and Halsey turn- around.

Jenny Cavanagh, Assistant Planner - pedestrian access is maintained through public access easements. Commissioner Read - regarding Condition lm - one foot non - access easement, what is reason? Jenny Cavanagh - where lots abut Sonoma Mountain Parkway, City does not want future possible driveways. Commissioner Thompson - what trees are going to be removed? Understands that most, if not ah, the Eucalyptus are being removed but majority of oaks and buckeyes being retained. Doesn't feel most homeowners would want a buckeye in their yard. Commissioner Tarr - sidewalks just on one side of,every street? Commissioner Libarle - architecture looks so much better than before - what more does staff require? Jenny Cavanagh - feels minor redesign would move focus to house, not garage architecture. Commissioner Woolsey - agrees with Commissioner Libarle. Commissioner Read - what percentage of homes would be involved? Jenny Cavanagh - substantial. Tux Tuxhorn Benjamin- Tuxhorn - would desire sidewalk around cul -de -sac bulbs; needs clarification of En ineering Department on street widths; streambed /swale area is a swale (with poplar. trees;. saving the trees will save the swale; doesn't want the swale called a creek as it would then need a drainage culvert - goal is to preserve the trees; Lots 3, 4 and 24 have trees under whose canopies they feel they can safely build per their arborist; over 4 0 50% of the garages do not face the street as most have been tucked back in; they have tried to make changes,so garages are not the first thing seen. Bill Benjamin Benjamin - Tuxhorn - needs Commission direction if they prefer seeing garage doors or a greater expanse of concrete from having the garages moved farther back on the lot; have tried very car ver y trees. Commissioner Read - willing to compromise on garage doors; glad to see all'the changes. Commissioner Parkerson - compliments °the developer for roads and site improvements as well as tree preservation; if street /garage issue can be developed more, would prefer it. Commissioner Libarle - urban separator - what is problem and who addresses it? Director Salmons - urban separator is a 300 foot swath; staff has suggested variable width so separator retains visual barrier between urban and rural; developer is short on square footage - he can chapge design or Commission /Council can okay. Commissioner Tarr keep wording for stream bed.vs. swal'e. Commissioner Parkerson - existing wording more specifically identifies what the. City desires; regarding Buckeye trees, how or will trees remain after homeowners purchase home? Tux. Tuxhorn - trees could be addressed :through CC &R's or in a tree ordinance; once house is sold, developer loses control. The public hearing was closed.
