Commissioner Kasparian asked the Director to paraphrase Item H of
Resolution 2859 for clarification of the double negative.
The Director clarified it by stating that the City shall not
approve a project unless the City can lessen or avoid the impacts;
that this is one segment of the law; and that this section was
drafted by the City Attorney's office.
Lois Jeffrey, City Attorney, stated that the City has a responsi-
bility to mitigate the impacts; that the City does not go forward
with a project unless it has done its best; and if there are
unavoidable significant impacts, the City finds other reasons,
social or economic, to balance against the impacts and to go ahead.
Commissioner Kasparian moved, Kasalek seconded to adopt amended
Resolution No. 2859 recommending that the City Council and
Redevelopment Agency certify the final Environmental Impact Report
for the Pacific Center East project as adequate and complete.
Resolution No. 2859 amended by adding an "Errata Sheet".

5. Report on actions taken at
December 3,
meeting.
Received and filed.
1990 City Council
Commissioner Le Jeune
-In response to the Council's action on the red curbing in
front of the San Remo Market, he felt drivers should not be
able to make a left turn out of Andrews onto Newport going
south.
-Asked if Mr. Grienke, the owner of the property at the
northeast corner of Newport and E1 Camino Real was aware that
the buildings he purchased from the City contained asbestos.
The Director advised that they are currently reviewing the
documents.
COMMISSION CONCERNS:
Commissioner Kasparian
-Inquired as to the actions being taken by Jerry Crabill in
regard to the junction box at Main and Newport; that he had
checked with other cities to see how they handle the problem;
for example, Irvine requires that they be located in the land-
scape areas and enforce this through the design review
process. He feels that this should be part of our design
review process.
Commissioner Kasparian moved, Le Jeune seconded to direct the
Community Development Department to draft a memo to the Public
Works Department on behalf of the Planning Commission request-
ing a resolution for standards to be established for review of
utility box locations that can be consistently applied against
all development projects, even those that do not come before
the Commission, so that City Council can review for
concurrence. Motion carried 4-0.
Commissioner Baker
-Asked if the resolution could include Federal Express mailbox
locations.
Commissioner Le Jeune
-Advised that there are several Federal Express mailboxes in
the Irvine Business Center that create a traffic problem,
particularly around 4:00 p.m.
Commissioner Kasalek
-Advised that recently a 13-year-old boy was electrically
shocked and burned when he touched a light post in Magnolia
Tree Park; and wanted to know if the City equips these light
posts with circuit breaker interrupters to prevent this from
occurring. The City Attorney's office advised that this issue
should not be discussed because of a potential claim, but that
the Public Works Department is looking into the matter.
