Minutes Planning Commissio. 2/13/85 be called in to look at the plans, paving and effects all of this will have on the existing trees. Regarding the building permits for the structure put up without benefit of building permits, if the daycare facility is allowed to open without this being remedied, the owner will probably not have an incentive to take care of this matter at a later date. Commissioner Getty fully supported this use permit. Daycare centers are needed in the neighborhoods. She had concerns with the existing property not being up to Code. She felt these concerns should be taken care of by the property owner. The plans presented by the applicant are not complete nor are they to scale. The applicant should be made aware of fencing, paving, etc. Commissioner Wilson indicated that he does not support the tree ordinance. The City as an ordinance by which they do not abide. 30 trees were cut down on Valley Avenue. Bernal Avenue have trees marked in red for removal. He said Tiburon has an ordinance requiring all trees be cut down. He feels the ordinance is totally ridiculous. Tree experts frequently indicate a tree is good and it dies while an apparently unhealthy tree thrives. Commissioner Innes expressed concern with the possibility that the applicant does not fully understand what they may be getting into with regard to costs. He would like to see the signs removed from the fences, the house painted one color and have the property cleaned up in an acceptable manner. Commissioner Getty also felt that perhaps the applicants are in over their head and perhaps do not understand the ramifications of the conditions. She asked the applicant if they need a location before they can get a State license. Ms. Cox said they do. Commissioner Getty would like to see the matter continued to the next meeting so that the applicants can explore the full meaning of the conditions which would be imposed on the property. Chairman Doherty advised the applicants to consult with their potential landlord regarding the paving, trees, building permits for the illegal structures, etc. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Getty made a motion to continue Case UP-85-2 to 2/27/85. Mr. Harris reported that the applicants have signed the lease. He asked that the Commission articulate the conditions they would impose. He further stated that the property is not illkept. If it was, the staff would have recommended that it be cleaned up prior to approval of the conditional use permit. Commissioner Getty indicated that the applicant should explore the tree subject with a tree expert, building permits for the illegal structure, heights of existing fences, paving required or a variance granted for the lack of paving. - 5 -
