Commissioner Nagler stated that he had nothing to add. <br />Commissioner Ritter seconded the motion. <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that he wanted to confirm that staff will amend <br />Condition No. 4 to require two cars to be parked in the garage. <br />Commissioner Piper stated that she is huge favor of mandating that the two cars be <br />parked in the garage, but Mr. Alioto brought up an interesting point that if there is an <br />emergency at the day care and there are cars blocking the car of the person in that <br />home, then they will not be able to get out to get the child to wherever they need to go. <br />Commissioner Balch commented that they could call 911. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that the cars in the driveway are going to be at drop -off <br />or pick -up, so there is going to be someone there with the vehicle. He added that the <br />applicants have three vehicles, and one of them would be parked where they can come <br />and go at will and would not be blocked in. <br />Commissioner Nagler stated that he supports the two cars being parked in the garage <br />and understands that applicants' position that they should not be obligated to park in the <br />garage. He noted, however, that he feels that is something the Commission should <br />strongly support for the benefit of the fact that they will be impacting parking elsewhere <br />and all the other neighbors more than their pro -rata share, had it not been for the large <br />daycare. <br />Commissioner Piper agreed and indicated that she is absolutely in favor of that. <br />Chair Allen stated that their hands are tied and need to follow State law on this. She <br />addressed the applicants, saying that it is her hope that they do continue to reach out to <br />all the neighbors and really take the concerns seriously and try to make it a win /win <br />situation, both for the neighbors and for their reputation as their business grows and <br />hopefully gets future clients who want to bring their children to their daycare. She <br />added that it would be the greatest thing if after a year, people are saying and writing <br />the Pleasanton Weekly that you are really great neighbors. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Allen, Balch, O'Connor, Piper, and Ritter <br />NOES: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br />RECUSED: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />Commissioner Ritter stated he will be unable to attend the next Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 14, 2015 Page 34 of 35 <br />
