<br />Commissioner Dove suggested an entrance only on Stone Pointe Way and an exit only onto <br />Stoneridge and to position the median such a way that prohibits a left turn from Stone Poiute Way <br />into the parking lot. He feels the number of students should be lowered to 250 maximum. <br />Commissioner Dove agreed there are limited sites available to build a school. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cooper feels this a worthwhile project, would like ELI in Pleasanton, but cannot see <br />400 students fitting on this size of property. Also, he can't see a traffic solution for this size of <br />project on Stone Pointe and Stoneridge Drive. Commissioner Cooper feels the problems should have <br />been worked out with staff before coming before the Planning Commission -- this is a difficult forum <br />in which to achieve compromise. At this time, Commissioner Cooper cannot support the application <br />as presented. <br /> <br />Chair Barker believes there is a real need for this type of school and understands the concerns of <br />residents with the Mohr school and this project. The concerns about traffic and under-parking are <br />valid. She does support the use, but feels it is too large a project for the size of site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dove stated there will be other projects and traffic will always be an issue. <br /> <br />Mark Butler made a point of information that he heard that someone on staff had recommended this <br />site, and if so, should they excuse themselves. Commissioner Dove stated that staff would be <br />inclined to advise applicants to what properties are zoned for their project use. Mr. Iserson advised <br />that he did not know if any staff member gave encouragement to the applicant regarding this site, <br />but staff can tell an applicant what a property's zoning and uses are. <br /> <br />r Mr. Bernstein advised that he would like to modify the project to make it acceptable. They needed <br />direction that the use was appropriate for the site and they are willing to implement every <br />recommendation staff proposed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dove motioned, seconded by Commissioner Lutz, referring Case PUD-96-19 to <br />staff for further modification and refinement. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: <br /> <br />Commissioners Dove, Lutz, and Chair Barker <br />Commissioner Cooper <br />Commissioner Wright <br />None <br /> <br />The motion carried. <br /> <br />Chair Barker asked staff to schedule this application first on the agenda when it comes before the <br />Commission again. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 22 <br /> <br />January 22, 1997 <br />
