Tawny Drive Traffic Light Chairperson Roberts noted that there had been quite a few auto wrecks at the new Tawny Drive stop light and would like people to understand that it's not a protected turn on green. She suggested that police be stationed at the new light for two days to facilitate the traffic flow. 8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW/ACTION a. Future Planning Calendar In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Iserson replied that PDR-338 (Wa1Mart) proposed an addition on the south side of the building. He noted that a future expansion area was allowed for that side of the building and added that it was a small addition for an employee break room and storage area. While 30,000 square feet of expansion was allowed, a design review was required. He noted that the "big box" discussion was agendized for the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Iserson advised that because of the Commission's concerns about the height of the 325 Ray Street building, the applicants lowered the height by 1'/~ feet and the tower element by 2Yz feet by lowering the ceiling. He noted that the applicants had worked very closely with the neighbors, and staff was very impressed with their outreach and responsiveness to the residents. He noted that they heard the Commission's concerns and did everything they could to address them. He noted that it would go to City Council on February 17, 2004. Ms. Nerland inquired whether there was any interest in a discussion about the HOA/Maintenance Association memo that she distributed to the Commission. Chairperson Roberts believed that the explanation was very clear. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Ms. Nerland replied that to change a landscape maintenance association to a homeowners association, examination of the CC&Rs was necessary. She noted that every homeowners association was different. In order to change the CC&Rs, they must hire an attorney and go through the State Department of Real Estate to get a white paper. In addition, they must demonstrate that they had adequate reserves to meet their maintenance responsibilities. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Iserson confirmed that California Splash had been moved to the second City Council meeting in March at the applicant's request. b.
