Commissioner Jamieson stressed he voted against the parkway design and not <br />the development. <br />The people present at the hearing were notified that as a tentative map, <br />this matter would not automatically go to Council for review, but that the <br />map is appealable to City Council within 15 days from the date of action <br />taken by the Planning Commission. <br />MATTERS FOR INFORMATION OF COMMISSION <br />A. Secretary Harris notified the Commissioners that the staff is now ad- <br />vising applicants applying for new businesses that they will first need <br />clearance from the City before erecting their signs. <br />B. Regarding the matter of review of a new preliminary map for the upper <br />Longview tract, Commissioner Shepherd stated he would be happy to sit in on <br />the committee. But he had some strong reservations about getting involved <br />at this stage. Chairman Butler agreed, saying City Council should make the <br />decision on how this should be handled at this point. <br />MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />A. The length of recent Planning Commission meetings was brought up again <br />by Commissioner Wood. He thought it should probably be reverted back to <br />two meetings per month. Chairman Butler offered having the Design Review <br />Board meeting on another night as they apparently seem to take a long time. <br />Deputy City Attorney Levine brought up a possibile complication, in that <br />quite often the same applicant would be before the Board for both design <br />review and a Planning Commission action, and on occasion, even a variance. <br />Secretary Harris then suggested several methods where the Commission could <br />try to cut down on time. <br />Chairman Butler concurred that the members could examine other methods to <br />aid in conducting the meetings more efficiently. Commissioner Jamieson <br />agreed, but felt it shouldn't be done at the expense of losing some of the <br />openness now existing between the Commissioners and attendees at the meetings. <br />B. Commissioner Wood suggested that the Commissioners set a joint meeting <br />with the Livermore City Council. Secretary Harris asked that agenda items <br />be provided by the Commissioners. <br />Commissioner Wood did remark that the Planning Commissioners in Livermore <br />receive a monthly salary of $100. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The regular meeting of the Planning Commission was adjourned at 11:30 P.M. <br />Robert J. arris, Secretary <br />-8- <br /> <br />
