i Chairperson Getty explained that many cities have pools one can draw from with regard to architects and the pool wouldn't necessarily be architects of just Pleasanton. Commissioner Jamieson rebutted stating that the City has had a Design Review Board since 1968 and he believes the Design Review Board, as currently structured, has done a good job. Commissioner Wilson asked the staff if the City Council has con- sidered this in past years. Mr. Harris stated that staff has thought about it, but felt that the people who are on the Design Review Board should be from Pleasanton. He stated there is a real dirth of architects residing in Pleasanton and that they generally are so heavily involved in projects, it might make it difficult for them to pass on many proposals. Commissioner Wilson made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Jamieson, that the Deisgn Review Board remain as currently structured. Commissioner Lindsey said he also has concerns about having local architects on the Design Review Board as they are involved in projects in town, but that perhaps the City Council should consider this because there will be a large number of projects to look at in the future and perhaps this would be the proper time for a change. Commissioner Doherty said he had no problem taking the matter under study but it should be pointed out that in more than one instance a project will come before the Board of Adjustment then later the same evening be before the Design Review Board. He said this could be a problem for the applicants and in some cases where an applicant is paying a representative they would have to come back twice with twice the cost. He said all of the impacts should be looked at and agreed with Commissioner Jamieson, that the Design Review Board as now structured has done a pretty good job in town and for the community. Chairperson Getty said there is a valid comment concerning having the applicants coming twice before both Commissioners, but a lot of time could be saved in discussing the same issues over and over again. She stated that it is quite possible that an applicant who comes before the Board with his architect goes out the door laughing about comments made by the Design Review Board should the comments that are made not be those of an expert on the Board.
