,.... Chairperson Maas stated that she does not have a problem with the additional square footage, but she does have a problem with the massive piece in the front, and questioned whether it could be placed in another location. She also stated that she understands the position of the Tiffany Lane homeowners. Mr. Kishi advised that this may affect vehicle circulation behind the building. Discussion ensued regarding the setbacks for the building, driveway requirements, and the proposal for landscaping along the driveway. Chairperson Maas stated that she wants to be reassured that the landscaping will be sufficient to soften the view of the addition. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he does not want to see the expansion moved to the back because of the impacts on the neighbors. Commissioner Roberts recommended that the two parking spaces in the front area adjacent to the expansion be removed, and landscaping be installed in that area. Commissioner Roberts commented that when she visited the site around noon there were a lot of people with small children, and because of safety issues, these people should be required to park in back to pick-up these children. -- Commissioner Roberts moved to (1) find that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and approve the draft Negative Declaration; (2) find that the project qualifies as a de minimus impact project; and (3) make the conditional use permit findings listed in the staff report and approve the conditional use permit subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit "8.1," Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion. Discussion ensued regarding the placement of "no parking" signs on the street to discourage school and church parking. Ms. Seto advised that the enforceable method would be to implement a parking permit program, to which many residents object. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he would like the Commission to recommend that "courtesy signs" to control parking in the neighborhood be installed. Ms. Seto stated that staff could bring this item to the Traffic Committee and minutes from the Committee's discussion could be provided to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Sullivan suggested that the parking ministry be utilized for all major events where it is anticipated that the parking lot will be 80% full. The motion was amended to include this requirement.
