items on the coming agendas and a lot of reading will be required, she felt confident that the Commission would have no problem with any of the items as the Commission is familiar with and understands the issues in the community. Commissioner O’Connor inquired if the agendas are set up so that the Commission can cover all the items on one night. Ms. Decker said yes. Chairperson Fox inquired why a work session item, which does not require a vote, would be a priority for the coming month and included on the list of agenda items. Ms. Decker replied that the BART project is a big transit-oriented development. She explained that staff is responding to the Commission’s frustration in the past regarding work session applications coming before the Commission as completed projects. She added that there is likewise some hesitation on the part of developers to change their projects if they have already invested thousands of dollars by the time their projects come before the Commission. She noted that the BART project is extensive and will require multiple workshops; staff would like to get the Commission’s initial feedback at this time on what it would like to see. 8.

Commissioner O’Connor commented that the number of square footage for the house remains the same as that with the second unit. He inquired if the second unit is now being constructed as part of the main house. Ms. Decker replied that the applicant enlarged the size of the house and that it does not include an attached or unattached second unit. She advised that the initial application included a second unit, about which some neighbors expressed concern. She explained that through negotiations, the applicant agreed to accommodate the neighbors and removed the second unit, and the approval letter was sent out with the original legal verbiage. Chairperson Fox inquired when the appeal period would expire. Ms. Decker replied that the 15-day appeal period is based on the date on the original letter. She noted that this was a typographical error and that no second unit was approved from the outset. She PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 25, 2007 Page 10 of 11
