Planning Commission Action Agenda February 25, 1991 Page 5 COMMISSION CONCERNS: Commissioner Kasparian -noticed in the car wash at Newport Avenue and Main Street that there is a hazard with debris being blown around through the drying area. He felt that passing people could be injured by the debris. Staff responded that the Community Development Department's had no jurisdiction in this area, but that a citizen could approach the car wash on the matter. The City Attorney confirmed. -asked what the general policy on foliage is for the department. On the corner of Anglin and Prospect Avenue there are olive trees which drop debris on the public right-of-way which makes it difficult for pedestrians to get by. - Staff responded that olive trees are generally not encouraged by the Department for areas within the public right-of-way. Due to their water conserving quality they are not discouraged for areas that are set back from public right-of-way. Commissioner Le Jeune -many of the applicants that did not have signs go through design review used sign companies that did not submit the signs. Should registered letters be sent to sign companies regarding City's sign requirement? Staff responded that all sign companies should be aware of the process for a sign. -noted a large amount of work done on pavers in Larwin Square. This puts a financial burden on the owners. Are we requiring pavers? Staff responded that we are only requiring entry treatments where special entry emphasis on a new project is desired not in all cases pavers. The pavers in Larwin Square are outdated in design and therefore need frequent repairs. The pavers used today are of a better design and, if installed correctly, need few repairs. Planning Commission Action Agenda February 25, 1991 Page 6 -are employment signs being covered in the sign code? Staff responded that they believed that employment signs are a public notice and therefore are not covered. -how many spaces are required for the handicapped and are blue plaque pole signs required? Staff responded that this depends on the Code, on the use, when built and improvements. There are various options for signifying handicapped spaces, one of which is the blue pole sign. Commissioner Shaheen -asked about the status of the Cosmopolitan apartments. Heard that the bank is trying to sell the property to the County of Orange for low income housing. How much land is being taken for the extension of Newport Avenue and how will this affect the apartments? The Director responded that the Cosmopolitan apartments are in possession of the bank due to foreclosure. It is not known at this time how much land will be taken for the extension of Newport Avenue until the City is further along in design.
