Chair Olson added that there would be no airline fees; just a BART ticket. <br />Mr. Dolan noted that it would be useful for the newer Commissioners and that he would <br />send the brochure to the Commissioners. <br />American Planning Association Workshops <br />Commissioner Posson stated that along those same lines, he attended the American <br />Planning Association's four- series workshops last year and found them very helpful and <br />beneficial. He indicated that he just got an email inviting him to those four sessions and <br />that the other new members, Commissioners Allen and Ritter, might benefit from those <br />workshops. He added that they were held on Saturdays in different locations in the Bay <br />Area, and there was no charge. <br />MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW /ACTION /INFORMATION <br />a. Future Planning Calendar <br />No discussion was held or action taken. <br />b. Actions of the City Council <br />No discussion was held or action taken. <br />c. Actions of the Zoning Administrator <br />P13 -2384, Arnold Kruse <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that one of the items approved by the Zoning <br />Administrator was reducing the lot size of an address on Second Street. He indicated <br />that he went by the house, and it is an existing residence. He inquired why or how the <br />lot size of an existing site is being reduced. <br />Steve Otto stated that he was the Zoning Administrator for that hearing. He stated that <br />there are two lots: one fronts First Street and the other fronts Second Street. He <br />explained that these two properties were an anomaly where their rear property line was <br />skewed as compared to the other lots. He continued that the property line for one of the <br />lots was right where the back of their garage was so they were able to negotiate with <br />their Second Street neighbor to acquire some of their property so they could maintain <br />their garage, and moving the property line made it more in conformance with the rest of <br />the block. He noted that it did not match exactly, and they did not get all of it, but it <br />increased it more in conformance. He added that because the lots were already less <br />than 8,000 square feet, a variance was needed so they had to apply for and be granted <br />that. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 22, 2014 Page 20 of 22 <br />
