<br />~ <br /> <br />Mr. Swift suggested that if Mr. Sanchez and other parties are interest in a footbridge, the <br />issue could be looked at again as a part of the General Plan update. e said there are a <br />number of ways that a footbridge could be built, but a road would be much harder and more <br />expensive. He did not wish to say that these things could be done, b t he felt that it is <br />possible with a General Plan change. <br /> <br />Commissioner Michelotti told Mr. Sanchez she thought his idea was good one and <br />encouraged him to follow up on his efforts to procure a footbridge; h wever, she also <br />remembered that when it was discussed at the PUD stage there were number of people <br />opposed to the idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mahem also reminded Mr. Sanchez that it has been th history of the <br />Meadows' residents not to want a through street on Martin Avenue. <br /> <br />The Commission's consensus was that a footbridge over Martin Aven e was a very logical <br />idea. <br /> <br />Mr. Bartelson noted that a road going through to Martin Avenue or a footbridge was a very <br />sore topic with a number of people. He stated they had researched e cost of a clear span <br />bridge over Martin Avenue and it had been estimated at over a millio dollars. However, a <br />review of the General Plan might accomplish something. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CWSED. <br />Commissioner Pinch stated he still did not think off-street parking is dequate for the project. <br />He said he thought it would be the same problem that is experienced t the Belvedere <br />project. He would not favor more sidewalks on the project, especiall as that would further <br />decrease parking space. He felt the project was attractive, but would not favor any more <br />concrete so that the rural atmosphere is kept as much as possible. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mahem again reminded Commissioner Pinch that noth ng could be done about <br />the parking situation at this time. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commil<sioner Wright, seconded by Co . ioner Finch making <br />the required tentative map findings for the proposed subdivision listed in the staff <br />report; and approving Vesting Tentative Tract 6593, subject to th conditions listed in <br />Exhibit "B", along with the revised conditions as read by Mr. Swi t. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />AYES: Commi....ioners Finch, Mahern, Michelotti, right and Chairman <br />Hovingh <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Commissioner McGuirk <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes January 27, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
