Chris Kinzl, TJKM Transportation Consultants, noted that the EIR makes the point that there are no significant neighborhood impacts associated with Option 1. He indicated that, as a matter of fact, on the main streets that have been discussed tonight, the traffic would add about 26 cars in the peak hour, which would be one car every two minutes, which is hardly a major impact. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Chair Allen thanked everyone, on behalf of the Commission, for being so respectful. She indicated that all the Commissioners believe the same thing, that this is one of the most difficult decisions all of them will make. She noted that while she cannot speak for everyone, she thinks this is going to be her most difficult decision, and that is because there are two competing things going on, and it is the Commission's job to make a decision. Commissioner Balch stated that every Commissioner is evolving on the Commission, as much as the members of the audience are evolving in their arguments and positions. He agreed with Chair Allen that the most difficult decision the Commission has to make is a neighbor-versus-neighbor dispute, and this is obviously ten-fold because it is a neighborhood against other neighborhoods. Commissioner Balch stated that what he is going to do is highlight a few questions the audience has raised that he actually would like an answer to, which would help in his decision-making process. 1. One of the first speakers mentioned a widening of existing roads when a project right after Measure PP or Measure QQ got passed, and it was deemed compliant with the measure. Does staff know of that project? Chair Allen asked it was the Chrisman property, and if the speaker is in the audience and could clarify that. Mr. Bauer said yes. He indicated that in the 2005 Minutes that he referenced, there was a discussion on the Chrisman property regarding roads on the property that exceeded 25 percent which staff exempted from the hillside ordinances or Measure PP; grading and road construction were allowed to spread out around the road to make connections within the property. Chair Allen asked Mr. Bauer if this was before or after Measure PP. Mr. Bauer replied that it was recommended in 2009. Commissioner Balch re-stated Mr. Bauer's statement that the Chrisman project roads agreement for 25 percent existed and was expanded. He asked if staff knows about this. Mr. Dolan replied that there is a distinction between a property being exempt from Measure PP and being given an exemption from Measure PP. He stated that he did not work on the Chrisman project, but it was exempt from Measure PP. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, June 24, 2015 Page 25 of 45
