Bert Felix, 2860 Garden Creek Circle, also asked questions about the combined fire <br />departments and asked how it would work any better than the current mutual aid agreement? <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta explained how fire crews responded to a fire and gave the example that Fire <br />Station No. 3 can respond to parts of Dublin faster than the existing fire stations in Dublin. In <br />addition when there is a large fire, it is easier to call out more fire companies in a more <br />organized way with no loss of time through the dispatch systems. <br /> <br />6, PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS · <br /> <br />Item 6a <br />AP-96-07 (Case Z-96-125/V-96-13. Branagh Development <br />{Appellant: Larry_ McColm for 350 Main Partners) <br />Appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission approving an application for: 1) design <br />review approval to construct a 13,768 square foot, two-story, mixed,use building consistin~ <br />Of an l~ppr0ximately 6,583 square foot first floor for retail space and an approximately <br />7,085 ~uare foot second floor for eight apartment units, and 2) a variance from the <br />MuniCipal Code to allow the construction of three apartment dwelling units without the <br />reg_uired private open space. <br /> <br />COnsideration of adoption of a Negative Declaration. (SR96:304) <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti abstained from discussion on this subject because she owned property <br />nearby. She left the dias. <br /> <br /> Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked about the status of negotiations with Bank of America and what part of <br />the Bank of America parking lot is intended to be shared spaces. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift indicated discussions have been going on for some time regarding the 50 <br />spaces which are accessed from Angela Street and are behind the former Exxon station. No <br />agreement has yet been reached. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked if there was flexibility to allow the upstairs portion of the building to be <br />converted to office uses. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said both office and residential are permitted uses in the downtown area. The <br />only difference would be regarding some construction issues such as the parapet being higher <br />to shield the heating and air conditioning equipment, an elevator would be required, and there <br />would have to be more parking spaces, since office use is a higher intensity use than residential. <br /> <br /> -5- <br /> 10/15/96 <br /> <br /> <br />
