Thompson continued Attended with Mayor Amante the Coastal Commission hearing
as part of his role with the Orange County Transportation
Committee Citizens' Advisory Committee; 5,000 people were in
attendance; he spent 14 hours there and the meeting continued
another five hours after he left; it was sad to hear the TCA
accused of immoral and wrongful acts, causing him to be
thankful for the professionalism that exists in Tustin.
Stated he is looking forward to the ground-breaking ceremony
for the new Tustin Library next week.
Kozak Congratulated Mayor Amante for his efforts in establishing the
quiet zone along the railroad corridor at Red Hill which should
bring relief to the property owners and residents along that right-
of-way.
Thanked staff for the project status report; and, asked what is
happening at Tustin Royale.
Direction Indicated that interior rehabilitation is underway.
Kozak Stated that, when he visited the site for the wireless agenda
item, he noticed the vacant property that abuts Tustin Ranch
Road and the freeway; and, asked if staff had any information
regarding whether that will remain a blank, weed-covered patch
of land.
Director Asked for the specific location.
Kozak Reiterated the site is at Tustin Ranch Road and the freeway,
behind Toshiba.
Director Indicated that staff would investigate and report back to the
Commission.
Murray Asked if the property being referred to is off EI Camino Real
near Browning on the opposite side of the freeway.
Kozak Answered in the negative.
Murray Asked staff about the property on EI Camino near Browning that
is fenced, seems to have gone through various changes, but
remains an eyesore.
Director Responded that property is City-owned.

Murray. Stated the Mayor's Inaugural dinner was outstanding; and,
offered his compliments to Mayor Amante and to Chair Pro Tem
Puckett for his participation in those ceremonies.
Reminded everyone that the Miss Tustin event takes place
March 1, and the Street Fair and Chili Cook-off take place on
June 1.
Puckett Indicated it was good to have Chair Nielsen back; filling his role
on the Planning Commission is not an easy task.
Noted he is the President-Elect of the Tustin Community
Foundation which sponsored the Mayor's Inaugural dinner; this
event is becoming the social event of the year in Tustin and a
humbling process for the new mayor; he has not seen the
financial report but believes the event will provide several
thousand dollars back into other Tustin non-profit endeavors.
Stated he attended the quiet zone meeting at Tustin Meadows;
Mayor Amante did an excellent job; the people seemed pleased
with what was presented.
Reminded everyone that Valentine's Day is coming up; this is
an important day and should not be overlooked.
Nielsen Noted that today is the 199th birthday of Abraham Lincoln; with
Presidents Day coming up, it is important to remember both
presidents who are being remembered.
Asked staff about plans for future tours for the Planning
Commission.
Director Responded that early darkness hinders the purpose; if the
Commissioners could be available at 4:00, staff could arrange
another tour.
Nielsen Requested that staff provide information regarding the areas
previously discussed and the timeframe necessary.
Stated he has been approached by various residents regarding
building permit issuance; and, asked whether or not staff has
any type of feedback information for customers to provide back
to the City.
Director Answered that feedback is not requested for each building
permit; a form is provided upon approval of discretionary
actions; perhaps something similar could be developed for
permits.

Nielsen Indicated he would be interested in seeing something like that
implemented.
Noted he also attended the Mayor's Inaugural gala; it was a
very good time with great food and people.
8:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT:
Murray Suggested the meeting should be dedicated to the
Commissioners' Valentines for giving them the time to spend at
public meetings; all the Commissioners concurred with that
suggestion.

scheduled for Tuesday, February 26, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. in the
