7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br />a. Discussion of the types of projects to be placed on the Consent Calendar. <br />Resolution Regarding Traffic Mitigation Measures <br />Commissioner Narum stated that she was interested in proposing a Resolution <br />for consideration, and Chair Blank suggested wording such that the Planning <br />Commission urgently requests the City Council to pursue traffic mitigations for <br />Valley Avenue and Santa Rita Road. <br />Ms. Harryman asked the Commission if this was something it wanted to agendize <br />for future discussion, but Commission Narum said this was what the Resolution <br />should indicate as well as the evaluation of the triple southbound left-turn lanes. <br />Commissioner Olson noted from what has been stated by the Traffic Engineer <br />that some of the tough issues need to be resolved, such as extension of <br />Stoneridge Drive. The Commissioners agreed. Commissioner O'Connor noted <br />that if Stoneridge Drive were extended today, that same intersection will even be <br />better, but he did not believe it should continue to be pushed off. <br />Commissioner Narum moved to adopt a resolution that the Planning <br />Commission urgently requests the City Council to pursue mitigations for <br />Valley Avenue and Santa Rita Road and to evaluate the triple southbound <br />left-turn lanes in the area. <br />Commissioner O'Connor seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, O'Connor, and Olson. <br />NOES: None <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />RECUSED: None. <br />ABSENT: Commissioner Pearce and Fox. <br />Resolution No. PC-2008-35 was entered and adopted as motioned. <br />Sprinkler Ordinance <br />Chair Blank noted that according to the June 25 minutes, staff was going to <br />provide a date on the consideration of the sprinkler ordinance this evening. <br />Mr. Dolan indicated that he did not have a specific date, but could provide an <br />update. He clarified that this is a project between the Building and Safety <br />Division and the Fire Marshal rather than a Planning Division issue. He noted <br />that as a result of the Commission's nudging, there has been a lot of action, <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 9, 2008 Page 37 of 39 <br />
