MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 14, 1987 The trees planted have created a situation where very little lawn remains at the residential units. She requested that deep rooted trees be planted. The existing soundwall does not mitigate noise in her opinion. Tn fact, there are broken down areas, as well as areas with cracks in it. Vice Chairman Innes asked if the City staff has ever been called about the noise problems. Ms. Yssels stated once anything is on a site, you become stuck with it. The Nob Hill Market does their gardening at 12:00 Midnight. Mr. Swift stated that staff did receive a complaint concerning the dumpsters, Nob Hill was contacted, and asked to abide by their conditions of approval. Mr. Swift indicated that if the situation still persists the City can write a letter to the garbage people and ask that the time of service be changed. Vice Chairman Innes was sympathetic with the residents on the issue of noise especially when there are conditions imposed upon project approval to safeguard such concerns. Mr. Swift stated that staff needs to be notified when violations of this type occur. Clyde Weese, 3148 Weymouth Court, called the Police when the blower was going at 4:OOam.

Regarding the project itself, Mr. Ferreri said he has had several meetings with the project applicants and they have been very cooperative. They agree that backing up the two buildings is probably optimum but it is unworkable. There is a similar situation with Mission Plaza and the two building project. Mr. Ferreri further stated that with spring-loaded gates security would be provided. Mr. Ferreri urged the Weymouth Court people to contact him regarding the noise of blowers and garbage pick up should the problem continue. Commissioner Michelotti, Messrs. Swift and Ferreri discussed the effects of the soundwall between the market and the residences to the east. Mr. Swift explained that the real purpose of the wall was not a 'soundwall' per se, but to to minimize the noise, etc. from the loading dock. At 4:OOam there is very little which could be done to minimize noise. Vice Chairman Innes asked Mr. Horsley how much truck traffic will be generated by the new major tenant.
