- Chairperson Maas advised that Kevin Schoenfeld's letter regarding Sunol Boulevard had been received, and asked whether the matter would move forward. Mr. Roush noted that the City Council scheduled a special meeting for August 22, 2002, at 6:30 p.m., in which a number of traffic issues would be discussed. The results ofthe Sunol Boulevard metering was the primary item, and the neighborhoods along Sunol would be noticed. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Mr. Roush stated that he believed the metering was working, and that the traffic seemed to flow better down Sunol Boulevard to First Street. Commissioner Roberts noted that Mr. Schoenfeld had called her, and he was not aware that the City was trying to eliminate cut-through traffic. The residents of the Mission Park area were furious, because that was their route in and out of town, and they felt very impacted. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny, Wes Jost replied that the traffic process regarding the "No Left Turn" signs was normally conducted by the staff Traffic Committee, which met monthly. An item could be submitted by staff, the Police Department, or the residents. r"' In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Mr. Roush replied that the Marque matter would be heard by City Council on September 3, 2002. He noted that since the last meeting, the owners said it was quieter, although Theresa Pimental did not believe it was quieter. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Roush replied that there had been a strong police presence at the site, and that CHP and Dublin police officers had been brought in to patrol Hopyard. He understood that the increased police presence may have contributed to the calmer situation. Commissioner Roberts felt badly that she was the only person to submit an item for discussion at their meeting with the Council. She believed the Commissioners were more prepared for the Plarming Commission meeting than with the City Council, and suggested that they discuss that matter further for next year. Commissioner Roberts requested a reference guide to the various types of roof slopes and types. Mr. Iserson replied that would be possible. Commissioner Roberts advised that she would not be in attendance at the next meeting. She questioned why the Allen Roberts Grove item was agendized so quickly. Mr. Roush stated that he had reservations that it would be on the August 28 agenda. In his discussions with the City Manager, there were some collateral issues that she had concerns about.
