Commissioner Olson requested that the word "He" on the third sentence of the second paragraph on page 15 be changed to "She" as it refers to Ms. Ayala. He then referred to the last sentence on page 43, noting that he actually owns a bicycle and not a bicycle store, and requested that the word "store" be deleted. Commissioner O'Connor noted that the third paragraph on page 11 does not read very well and requested that, for clarity, it be modified to read as follows: "Commissioner O'Connor stated that he had a conversation with Legal some time ago and it was his understanding that the Council she,id could be looking at interpreting some of these unknowns definitions. He referred to 'streets' as an example and asked if it is a structure or not. He indicated that the he t inks the Planning Commission said it was and recommended that to the Council; and the Council agreed unanimously, voting 5 -0, and so the Council has now defined 'street' as a structure. He noted that now exceptions are being discussed to allow or not allow a stwetufe some streets v44G" t defined at all in Meal we oo He indicated that his understanding,, is with respect to allowing an exception or a variance to an item that was voted on by the people of Pleasanton, is that only the voters have the right to overturn that and to grant that exception." Commissioner O'Connor further requested that the first sentence of the sixth paragraph on page 11 be modified to read as follows: Commissioner O'Connor commented that maybe they were looking too deep on what is the intent, and maybe they should just read what the ordinance is says and know that the voters asked approved it. Commissioner O'Connor then requested that the second sentence of the fifth paragraph on page 18 be modified to read as follows: "He added that he would hope, though, that the City would want to build something a little more restrained such as a pathway or roadway going up some little to a park or trail in the hills, as opposed to a major four -lane road." Commissioner Pearce noted that the last sentence of the third full paragraph on page 18 is a bit unclear. She stated that she knew what she meant but does not know quite how to fix it. She indicated that she would listen to the tape and then send the correction over to staff. For the benefit of those in the audience who are new to the Commission, Chair Blank explained that the reason the Commission takes such care about the Minutes is that even though the meetings are recorded, the video and the audio are not the official record of what takes place at the meeting; the written Minutes are. He pointed out that it is really important that the Commissioners get them right so that generations from now, people can look back and say they know what the Commissioners were thinking or not thinking. Commissioner Narum moved to approve the Minutes of January 23, 2013, as amended. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 13, 2013 Page 2 of 20
