Commissioner Cooper feels it was ill-considered to put residential in this area because of the interface of residential and commercial. He is sympathetic to the residential concerns, and concurs this is similar to the ELI project and traffic concerns in neighborhoods. Commissioner Cooper is concerned with truck traffic in the neighborhood. He supports Plan 2, but in deference to the applicant, he would support Option 3 which provides for a left in and a right out. Commissioner Kumaran seems there must be a balance between the interest of the few to the interest of the many. This area is a gateway to Pleasanton from Livermore. To maintain and keep the flow of traffic on Stanley, he is opposed to the left turns in and out. He sympathizes with the residents of Reflections but supports Plan 1. Commissioner Lutz also supports Plan I being the safest and is consistent with previous planning. Stanley Blvd. traffic flows will only increase in time. Prefers to make the Reflections Drive work with the least impact on California Reflections. This item was directed back to staff and continued to a future meeting, with the direction to pursue Plan 1. f. Z-97-58/V-7-03. CSB Construction/Rav's Electrical and Plumbinl!

The applicants wish to provide a weather-proof storage area for storing plumbing and electrical supplies and windows and doors. The building would be a metal building with a TexCoat finish to replicate the stucco finish of the existing building. It would have a mansard roof made out of metal that would have an appearance of concrete tiles as are on the adjacent building. Wood trim would be used as well. The applicant would like to remove the existing monument sign and construct a new multi-tenant sign. It would be set back five feet from the future realignment of Stanley Blvd. and five feet in from the driveway. It would be a painted plywood sign with five tenant panels, 8'4" tall by 7' in width. The applicant has advised that he would like to externally illuminate the monument sign. Planning Commission Minutes Page 17 May 14, 1997
