Commissioner Balch asked how deep was the bioswale.
<br /> Mr. Schafer said he was not certain, but it would at least be 18-inches deep.
<br /> Chair Allen said imagining that the bioswale is 18 inches, she inquired whether there would be
<br /> a way to add rocks inside the bioswale.
<br /> Mr. Schafer said yes; there are rocks, plants, and sand around it to give it visual appeal while
<br /> serving as a deterrent to people walking through it.
<br /> Commissioner Brown asked and confirmed with Mr. Schafer that this design will not have a
<br /> back door for loading, which would then occur through the main entrance.
<br /> Commissioner Brown said the agenda report identifies 17 parking spaces and asked if the
<br /> additional space was the loading zone.
<br /> Mr. Schafer said yes; it is a parking space.
<br /> Commissioner Balch and Commissioner O'Connor clarified that they both counted 17 spaces.
<br /> Ms. lreifej confirmed there would be 17 spaces without the loading zone.
<br /> Commissioner Ritter asked what is between the building and the bioswale.
<br /> Mr. Schafer said this is a walkway; if someone needs to work on the electrical, they can park
<br /> and walk back on the steppingstones.
<br /> Commissioner Ritter asked what would prevent a church goer from crossing the bioswale.
<br /> Mr. Hirst said it would be the hedge. He pointed out that one area is bicycle parking with a
<br /> locker and rack.
<br /> Chair Allen inquired over the concern in having a picket fence with openness as a physical
<br /> barrier.
<br /> Mr. Schafer said the plan is to implement a hedge as the barrier.
<br /> Chair Allen said it can take some time for a hedge to grow and fill in to create the barrier. She
<br /> was trying to understand about having a low, attractive fence.
<br /> Mr. Hirst said they are trying to maintain openness and not completely isolate the properties.
<br /> The proponents of the property want to be isolated and this is their right and they could build a
<br /> fence.
<br /> Commissioner O'Connor said he heard there is a safety issue with a wall because it might
<br /> promote loitering or hiding. If there were a four-foot high picket-type fence and a hedge about
<br /> four feet high, it would be another alternative.
<br /> Chair Allen suggested the Commission address the discussion points.
<br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED

<br />of
<br /> Pleasanton. The driveway at the Chevron station on Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue is
<br /> 39 feet, six inches and the driveway on Valley Avenue is 42 feet; the 42-foot wide driveway is
<br /> 35 feet from another 35-foot driveway, and they are providing more parking.
<br /> Ms. lreifej continued Mr. Hirst's rebuttal and stated once this becomes one parcel, it will be
<br /> different. It currently looks like two businesses, so people park there because it is convenient.
<br /> With the building also being a triangular shape, it will be prevent people from coming over. She
<br /> was against a wall which she feels will create an alley and unsafe conditions.
<br /> Mr. Schafer continued the rebuttal and pointed to the bio-retention area, stating it will be
<br /> concaved. This will not promote people walking down through it to and from the church site or
<br /> vice versa. They are in agreement with the architecture of the car wash and placing more
<br /> trellises on there and the nice trash enclosures.
<br /> Mr. Hirst finished by pointing out the other areas where 18-wheel trucks will park and said he
<br /> has seen where they park. They want to get them out of there and they placed "No 7-Eleven
<br /> Parking" signs in these areas, trying to promote people to park elsewhere. They are doing
<br /> everything they can to get them off the church property.

<br />pyard Road 7-Eleven store is
<br /> very different and he presented pictures of other convenience stores showing reasonable
<br /> access, and asked that the Commission consider safety, noting their primary concern is the
<br /> lack of parking spaces on the site.
