Review of Tentative Tract Map #3897, Page Binkle~ Secretary Harris stated that technically, the Planned Unit Development zoning does not exist on this property, since adoption of the ordinance by City Council has not gone into effect. It was the City Attorney's opinion that because of this technicality, the Planning Commission probably should not take action on the map. If action is not taken on the map within 50 days, the map would be deemed approved.. However, the applicant could agree to waive the 50-day period. Otherwise, the Commission would need to deny the map. Mr. Page Binkley was present and agreed to an extension of time and to waive the 50-day period. He indicated that he would be amenable to having the map reviewed at the September 14 Planning Commission meeting. Accordingly, this matter was continued until that time. REFERRALS FROM CITY COUNCIL A. Councilmember Frank Brandes explained some of the items which Council is reviewing under the budget. Council had to consider utilization of some surplus monies. The Mayor appointed Councilmembers Brandes, Herlihy and Mercer to review several possibilities - purchase of Fire Station #2, a new location for the Police Station. In conjunction with relocating the police headquarters, would be utilization of its existing headquarters. Councilmember Brandes welcomed any comments, suggestions from the Planning Commission . B. Councilmember Brandes told the Commissioners that Councilmember LeClaire had appealed the conditions of approval for ambulance service application established by the Planning Commission at their special meeting of June 29. He seconded that motion because he felt that any member of the City Council should have the right to appeal a case. He was looking for possible alternatives such as parking the ambulance in a parking stall of the adjacent apartment complex. It was his understanding that the objections of adjacent R-1 neighbors was the appearance and visi- bility of the ambulance, and relocating the ambulance location may deter some of those objections. Commissioner Wood conceded a Councilperson`s right to consider deletion of a condition, but it should be kept in mind that an application may receive sanction from the Planning Commission subject to certain conditions, said sanction perhaps not being given had the conditions not been a part of the approval. Commissioner Doherty stated that he was not present at that special meeting, but had he been present, he would have sided with Commissioner Jamieson in voting no, as he did not feel residential neighborhoods are appropriate for such types of services. Regarding parking the ambulance in the apartment complex lot, Commissioner Doherty felt this might be acceptable providing the vehicle exited the area from Mohr Avenue. -10-
