could approve whatever is needed. Unfortunately, this cannot be done because tanker trucks
<br /> cannot enter and exit; he thinks 35 feet would be adequate.
<br /> Mr. Beaudin said ultimately it is up to the Commission to determine the width of the driveway
<br /> and in creating a pedestrian- and bike-friendly environment. The goal is to create the
<br /> environment to balance multi-modal transportation and slowing traffic down. In comparison to a
<br /> standard driveway, this is more than adequate to enter/exit a commercial location.
<br /> Chair Allen took a straw poll.
<br /> Commissioner Balch said staff has made a great argument and could leave it at 35 feet.
<br /> Chair Allen said 35 feet would be her preference and 45 feet would be her added 'side
<br /> number.'
<br /> Commissioner O'Connor said he would accept 40 feet but was also agreeable with 35 feet.
<br /> Commissioner Brown said he would agree with Chair Allen and said his preference is 35 feet
<br /> but could stretch to 40 feet. He would not vote the project down either way. He said he liked
<br /> the suggestion of grouping the vacuuming, water and air services further back in the carwash.
<br /> He referred to the landscaping area on the south side by the carwash and asked if there was
<br /> any interest to squeeze another parking space in the corner.
<br /> Commissioner Balch said this is bio-retention. He said now that they are doing the turnout at
<br /> the carwash and the stop sign, it creates a voided area at that corner and theoretically a
<br /> parking space might fit right at that corner, but this would be up to staff.
<br /> Discussion Point No. 4: Is the proposed building design acceptable?
<br /> Commissioner Balch referred to Commissioner Ritter's point about the stone walkway, his only
<br /> comment or question was why the sidewalk was ending at the back part of the base. He
<br /> suggested ending it at the front face and adding four more steppingstones, which would further
<br /> denote this was not a direction of travel and would push it off to the street. His other comment
<br /> was regarding the West Las Positas Boulevard side at the carwash exit, there was potential for
<br /> a parking space to fit because the design is to create a circular bit and stop sign, but this is for
<br /> the applicant to work out the details.
<br /> Commissioners Ritter and Brown stated the building design is acceptable.
<br /> Commissioner O'Connor wants to ensure they are not wasting money on sides of the building
<br /> that are not seen.
<br /> Commissioner Balch agrees that it is the southern side facing the church, the storefront side
<br /> facing the parking lot and not the west side facing the back nor the west side on the carwash.
<br /> All Commissioners concurred with the three-sided architecture as stated above.
<br /> Commissioner Balch asked about the trash enclosure. Commissioner O'Connor said they are
<br /> designed very nice these days, and Commissioner Balch suggested it blend in.

<br />explained higher speed movements are seen at the 40-foot
<br /> than at the 35-foot. The Santa Rita Road location is a narrow driveway, and one thing that
<br /> does not ring true to him is that when leaving Hopyard Road drivers are going into the free
<br /> right turn lane and the only collision risk is people trying to get into the northern-most driveway.
<br /> When the application came forward, his first thought was to close that driveway and then he

<br />give up the foot for a fence.
<br /> Commissioner O'Connor said he has properties where he has grass, landscaping and hedges
<br /> and paths are created right through them, as people will create their own pathway regardless
<br /> of a path, hedge or fence. He was supportive of the proposed parking, was favorable with
<br /> eliminating the EV charging station in this location. He said he thought it was odd that they
<br /> would have the non-designated spots spaced out and asked to group the ones that are
