Roll Call Vote Resolution: Doherty Seconded: Shepherd Ayes: Doherty, Jamieson, Noes: None Absent: None Abstain: None Shepherd, Wood and Chairman Butler REFERRALS FROM ALAMEDA COUNTY Secretary Harris informed the Commission of the material just received regarding the Livermore-Amador Valley revision to the County General Plan. Because of the short review period afforded, both Livermore and Pleasanton have requested that no definite action be taken by the County at the present time. Mr. Harris pointed out the critical sections which would need to be reviewed by the Commissioners. There is another hearing scheduled for November 16 at Foothill High School at 7:30 P.A1. MATTERS FOR INFORMATION OF COMMISSION Reminders were given for several meetings - Growth Management Meeting on November 15, and joint Commission/Council meeting on November 29. Another matter brought up was from Mr. Levine regarding his November 10 memorandum on making required findings. The Commissioners thanked him for his efforts. It was the consensus of opinion that an orientation meeting for new Commissioners would be helpful in alleviating these types of questions. The question raised by Commissioner Wood last week on the issue of possibility of rebuilding structures whose zoning has become non- conforming and which have suffered more than 50~ damage, was discussed, and Mr. Levine explained the several ways it could be dealt with. Mr. Levine also researched a question raised at the previous meeting by Commissioner Jamieson regarding the City having to abide by its own codes, and the answer was yes. However, the ordinance is so written that it also requires State, Federal and County governments to abide by City ordinances. This is clearly out of line with existing case law and State statutes, therefore, to make the requirement of the City to abide by its own ordinances clear and unchallengeable, that section of the code should be rnodified. A motion was entered by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Jamieson and unanimously carried, that the ordinance be amended to that effect. Secretary Harris informed the Commissioners that staff is still researching the best method to notify surrounding property owners. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Wood asked staff research as to possible rerouting of traffic going into First National Bank. He wondered about entering the site from St. John Street only, and exiting on Main. No discussion -11-
