<br />r <br /> <br />b. Other Matters <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts requested to see examples of the various types of roof slopes to be <br />used as a reference, especially regarding slope ratios. Mr. Iserson replied that he could <br />provide those. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts noted that she had received numerous complaints about the colors <br />of the Pleasanton Hotel. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson advised that he had received a lot of comments about the Pleasanton Hotel as <br />well, and that they were mostly negative. He noted that the colors were the result of a <br />PDA design committee, which felt that Victorians should be bright and colorful. <br /> <br />Chairperson Maas expressed concern about the length of the construction process, and <br />cited a home on the corner St. Mary's Road as an example. <br /> <br />Commissioner Arkin advised that he would be in favor of an ordinance that would set a <br />reasonable time limit on construction. He suggested that a year might be an appropriate <br />limit. <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />Larissa Seto advised that staff had discussed the issue, and was working toward <br />developing an ordinance or guideline to address the length of construction time. She <br />noted that a large commercial building should have a longer construction time than a <br />residential home. Staff was working on such guidelines that were in conformance with <br />the California Building Code, as well as trying to tighten up the length of the construction <br />process. <br /> <br />In response to Chairperson Maas' question whether a Commissioner may request for an <br />item to be agendized, Larissa Seto replied that they could. In the event that a <br />Commissioner requested to agendize an item that required a great deal of staff work, but <br />there was little general interest in the item, staff would like to respond and request <br />consensus from the entire Commission on the item. <br /> <br />Chairperson Maas believed that was a reasonable course of action. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sullivan advised that he had attended a meeting in Sacramento on June 10, <br />2002, which addressed energy. He noted that there were attendees from several other <br />cities, including San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, Arcada, and Santa Monica. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES <br /> <br />June 12,2002 <br /> <br />Page 14 <br />
