would require something with more weight and of a higher quality. He added that he <br />would think everybody would want to use it and maybe provide more places to sit down. <br />He stated that he thinks there is space to put tables and that he is open to the <br />Commission's recommendation. <br />Chair O'Connor inquired if staff can work with the applicant on such a plan. <br />Mr. Dolan said yes. He stated that if the Commission wishes, it could add a condition <br />that says that the applicant shall work with staff to provide additional seating in the plaza <br />area of a more permanent nature or heavier weight. <br />Mr. Sherwood commented that he thought it would be heavier and something that could <br />be bolted down, but not so heavy so they could be moved in case there was some <br />public event or could be used for something else. <br />Chair O'Connor stated that he is trying to envision something that would be difficult to <br />steal or move, but not so big and bulky that it looks like it belongs in a very large open <br />park. <br />Mr. Sherwood stated that he is trying to find that "in- between" thing and that there are a <br />couple of them that he thinks will work. He added that they actually have a designer <br />with whom they worked on some of the materials, the lighting, and the finishes, and this <br />would be right up her alley. <br />Mr. Ward stated that they could come up with a couple of schemes with Planning staff <br />and sort through it. He indicated that they are pretty open to doing whatever the City <br />really wants to do. He added that they had a huge sculpture on the corner that he loved <br />but it did not fly with staff. <br />Commissioner Balch inquired if the two- percent slope denoted on the public parking <br />measures out and if it will be noticeable while walking across the plaza. He further <br />inquired if that would continue from there to Main Street. <br />Mr. Ward replied that most sidewalks are two- percent slopes, which is the maximum <br />crosswalk required on any place that affords access, and noted that Main Street is <br />already two percent. He added that it would be two percent across the entire distance <br />to the curb and along Rose Avenue. <br />Commissioner Balch inquired if the riser at the bottom of the elevation is existing. <br />Ms. Wallis said yes. <br />Commissioner Balch inquired what the question mark on the right side of the trellis <br />represents. <br />Ms. Wallis replied that it is an existing underground vault. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 28, 2014 Page 7 of 16 <br />
