In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Arkin whether the City could put a no-right-tum sign <br />on Stoneridge Drive and Santa Rita Road, Mr. Tassano replied that he could simulate that <br />condition and report the results to the Commission. <br />Commissioner O'Connor expressed concern about the elimination of traffic signals at Blackbird <br />Drive, Crestline Road, and Hansen Drive from a safety perspective. He noted that children had <br />been hit in those areas, and many drivers did not come to a full stop at those locations. He would <br />not be in favor of eliminating those stop signs. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that there was a significant traffic bottleneck when school lets <br />out on Case Avenue. Mr. Tassano agreed and noted that the crossing time and the left-turn time <br />could run at the same time if one crosswalk were to be removed and the students crossed on only <br />one side of the street. He recommended retaining the crosswalk on the west side. Staff is <br />continuing to review that intersection. <br />Chairperson Arkin suggested that this item be continued to allow the other Commissioners to <br />comment on this item. <br />Commissioner Fox suggested that the Commissioners send comments to Mr. Tassano via email. <br />This item was continued to the meeting of July 26, 2006. <br />MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />a. Green Building Features at the Bordeaux Country Estates (PUD-14, Heinzl <br />Commissioner Blank noted that on the next-to-last page under "Renewable Energy," the report <br />did not state what had been done and that it only stated the requirement. <br />Ms. Decker noted that the redlined version did not show changes in the black-and-white version. <br />She noted that the building would be prewired for photovoltaic systems. <br />Commissioner Blank noted that the applicant did a nice job on the report and accomplished <br />about 80 percent of the items. <br />b. Residential Sprinklers for New Construction <br />Ms. Decker noted that staff would be developing a staff report to be presented to the City <br />Council on August 15, 2006, relating the Planning Commission's interest to receive direction <br />from City Council to adopt an ordinance addressing sprinklers in new residential as well as <br />commercial construction. <br />Commissioner Blank suggested that a retrofit ordinance be examined, similar to that used by the <br />City of Livermore and other cities. <br />29 <br />
