Commissioner Lindsey asked for clarification of the recent <br />modification to Case PUD-84-11 on Ray Street. Mr. Harris <br />explained the details of the modification as requested. <br />Commissioner Wellman asked for a status report concerning her <br />previous request concerning the Post Office with regard to <br />circulation and potential Post Office locations in the newly <br />developed areas of town. Mr. Okamura spoke to the circulation <br />issue stating that the Postmaster has indicated to him that since <br />there appears to be a safety problem, he could support the City's <br />request and attempt to procure funds to make changes as <br />requested. City staff must ascertain what the cost of the <br />improvements would be. As soon as this is furnished to the <br />Postmaster, he will make his request. <br />Regarding Commissioner Wellman's request to have staff write a <br />letter to the Postmaster concerning service to newly developed <br />areas, Mr. Harris stated that he was going to wait until he and <br />Mr. Okamura meet with the Postmaster and then follow up with a <br />letter. Commissioner Wellman suggested that a letter be written <br />over the Planning Commission Chairman's signature requesting this <br />matter be looked into. All of the Commissioners supported this <br />request. <br />Commissioner Innes addressed the left turn lane in front of the <br />Foothill Knolls development. Mr. Okamura indicated that he <br />believes the City's plan now satisfies the County Road <br />Department. The plan is supposed to go to the County this week <br />and if the striping plan is approved, work should commence <br />shortly. Commissioner Innes stated he stopped and viewed the <br />area for one hour. He counted 116 cars going north on Foothill <br />Road, 77 of them crossed into the left-turn lane. The natural <br />flow of traffic coming south causes cars to head for oncoming <br />traffic. This is a real concern especially with all of the kids <br />who use this road. Mr. Okamura stated that perhaps it should be <br />suggested that center striping be done going north, a row of <br />buttons be put in on the east side to inform drivers that they <br />are crossing a line. Commissioner Innes asked if the City could <br />make a recommendation on this to the County and that the traffic <br />committee look at this on site. Commissioner Lindsey supported <br />the comments of Commissioner Innes. <br />Commissioner Innes congratulated Mr. Harris on his new position <br />in the City of Fremont. Chairman Wilson asked that Mr. Harris <br />tell Shirley McDougall when he would be available for the <br />Planning Commission to.take out to dinner. Mr. Harris indicated <br />that his plans far next week have not yet been made firm and that <br />the following week he would be out of town on vacation. He would <br />inform Shirley of his availability for the invitation of the <br />Commission. Commissioner Innes stated that Mr. Harris <br />resignation would be a big loss to the City. Mr. Harris stated <br />that he has enjoyed working with the Commission over the years <br />and is sorry he won't be working with the newest members as well. <br />Chairman Wilson stated that there will only be one Planning <br />Commission meeting during the months of July, August and <br />- 2 - <br />
