Commissioner Jamieson also expressed concerns with the ditch at the Blackwell Development not looking big enough to take the runoff from the hill. He also stated that where the road merges next to the Texaco station on Sunol Boulevard, it doesn't look like there will be sufficient room for a sidewalk. Mr. Warnick stated that it is not completed yet and that the design is for a bike/ped path. Commissioner Jamieson also asked the City policy with regard to bushes which protrude over sidewalks. Mr. Warnick stated these are handled on a complaint basis. Commissioner Jamieson suggested notice might be sent to some areas where this happens. Commissioner Doherty stated there are many areas within the City where trees are not being trimmed regularly and causing the sidewalks to elevate. He cited areas on Greenwood, Tanager, Shearwater. He suggested perhaps the City could trim the trees some weekend and with some publicity the neighbors would perhaps volunteer to help clean up. Mr. Warnick said that with the cutback after Proposition 13 there is a much longer time between trimming of the trees. Chairperson Getty stated that the Presbyterian Church parks two large red busses on the corner of Neal and Second Street and that the red curb painting is not sufficient as they still park in the area. Mr. Warnick stated that there is a 72 hour parking limitation wherein vehicles must be moved after that time. Commissioner Lindsey asked if there were any length restrictions. Mr. Warnick stated there are but only in some areas and that perhaps the Police Department can look into the matter. Commissioner Doherty stated perhaps it would be more diplomatic to con- tact the Church about the problem. OLD BUSINESS - Public Hearings Z-81-66, Amador Savings and Loan Association Application of Amador Valley Savings and Loan Association for design review approval for an approximately 7,000 sq. ft., two-story savings and loan building to be located on the west side of Main Street, 225 ft. south of the intersection of Bernal Avenue and Main Street. Zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial/Civic Overlay) District. A negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. This matter was continued indefinitely. Mr. Harris explained that the Design Review Board approved an identi- fication sign for the Reynolds and Brown business park and that the Planning Commission must approve the location of the sign request inasmuch as Reynolds and Brown wish to place it in a public right-of- way. A motion was made by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Larry Lindsey that the Director of Public Works is empowered to allow the installation of the sign for Reynolds and Brown per the conditions set forth in the Design Review Board approval of 10/14/81. -3-
