Planning Commission Action Agenda March 8, 1993 Page 6 STAFF CONCERNS: 7. Report on actions taken at March 1. 1993 City Council meeting Staff reported on the subject agenda. The Commissioners were reminded of a Beautification Committee meeting, March 9 at 6 p.m. at the Senior Center. Staff reminded the Commissioners that they should look over their materials for the upcoming League of California Cities Conference and that Rita Westfied would be accompanying them. COMMISSION CONCERNS: Commissioner Weil - Commissioner Weil noted that she has been watching the activity concerning the E1 Toro closure list and wondered how the latest closures would affect it. Staff explained the latest mention on closures. Information on the actual closures would be forthcoming soon and would be given to the Commissioners when received. - Commissioner Weil stated that she has a friend who recently had to move from a 3rd floor apartment at Sierra Vista in East Tustin and because of the narrowness and angle of the stairs there was little room to move large items like refrigerator and large pieces of furniture, without the use of a fork lift. Since her friend had brought it up she wanted staff to be aware of these limitations for future policy making and standards. Commissioner Stracker - Noticed that a wall had been placed across from Tustin High School along freeway and wanted to know if some landscaping was planned to alleviate graffiti activity. Dana Kasdan of Engineering reported that the City has applied for State grants for trees and landscaping. - Wanted to make mention of the fact that construction at Main and Prospect seemed to be going very smoothly for the Planning Commission Action Agenda March 8, 1993 Page 7 traffic even with all the rain. He wanted to mention that he thought staff has done a good job. Commissioner Butler - Wanted to know who was in charge of choosing the furniture for City Hall. Staff responded that an employee task force had been in place for this purpose. Much of the existing furniture was being retrofitted for use and that product selection of the remaining furniture had been determined by the City Council with the input of the committee. Specifications were determined and all miscellaneous items were sent out for bid. The Commissioners were assured that the lobby waiting and entry area would be very pleasing to look at. - Commissioner Butler was concerned that there was no identification for staff at these meetings and wondered if this would be remedied with the move back to the permanent facility. Staff agreed that identification is desired and will look into acquiring this when the move is made. Commissioner Baker - Walt Fredrickson had called him today concerning the trailer and pipes placed next to the Hacienda buildings again. Dana Kasdan, Engineering Department, stated that Gary Veeh was already aware of the situation and that it would be eliminated by tomorrow. - Commissioner Baker wanted to make note of the fact that one of our staff planners, Sara Pashalides, had been written up for her good works in the Orange County section of the APA newsletter and that he was very impressed with what she had accomplished. Planning Commission Action Agenda March 8, 1993 Page 8 Commissioner Kasalek - In discussion brought about tonight concerning City Code and rock parking lots, she wondered how the schools fit into this situation. Staff stated that the schools are regulated by the State and that the City has no jurisdiction over them in this regard. ADJOURNMENT: to adjourn the meeting at 8:50 P.M. The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission is on March 22, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. at the Tustin Senior Center, 200 S. "C" Street, Tustin.
