. . . Mr. Iserson advised that the landscape plan has not been approved, and he plans to work with the neighbors on this issue. Mr. Cave requested that La Petite Academy be one of the authorized key holders. He requested that Manualife also be in on the review and approval of the landscape plans. Nancy Pozzebon, 2808 Longspur Way, agrees with the gate closure of 7:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. In the past, gate keys were being duplicated for all tenants, and the system got out of control. She would like Building 5 to be office use only and feels staff did a good job in eliminating nuisance uses. This will help the adjacent neighbors from having to keep coming to public hearings regarding the building uses. Ms. Pozzebon is not opposed to the daycare opening at 6:00 a.m. She feels the center parking light standard is the best alternative and feels there will be sufficient lighting along the sidewalks from the lighting under the building eves and the bollard lights. She wished the neighbors could have met with the new property owners before coming to the public hearing. Ms. Pozzebon advised that there was a street sweeper in the parking lot at 9:30 p.m. the previous Monday night.

Commissioner Wright feels the gate hours should be not modified since they have been in existence from the inception of the center. However, he does agree that Condition ID should be changed to include a designated La Petite employee to have a gate key for emergency use. He also concurs that Condition IE should be changed to reflect the 15 ft. parking lot light standard should be turned off at 7:30 p.m. He proposed the use of a photo- cell light in the light standard. Regarding the II uses requested by Manualife to be added to the conditional use list, Commissioner Wright feels staff has done a good job in meeting Manualife half-way with permitted uses besides office use. He does not feel it is necessary to add the II uses back to the permitted list. Commissioner Dove would like the Commission to incorporate stronger enforcement measures into cases such as this. He is concerned for the safety of the children at the daycare facility behind a locked gate. He would rather the gate be opened at 6:00 a.m. and suggested a six-month trial to see if it could work. In response to Commissioner Dove's comments, Commissioner McGuirk believes that La Petite should have key access to the gate. He feels Manualife has tried to mitigate the Center's problems and feels the Commission must give them some type of economic viability, otherwise, the building may become and remain empty. Commissioner McGuirk is not comfortable with the elimination of 11 potential uses just because it would enable the neighbors to not have to come to public hearings, That is the system that brings out people's Planning Commission Minutes Page 14 February 28, 1996
