REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY NUTES
Page 2, 12-21-87
Senior Planner Rubin responded to Chairperson Pro.Tern Kennedy that the
one variance staff anticipates is for placement of the shopping center
monument sign, which will have to be evaluated when filed.
Kelly expressed concern with the possibility of increased noise levels as
well as existing parking problems. Agency discussion followed.
Agency members Hoesterey and Kennedy debated eliminating the requirement
for parking lot planters. Mr. Hoesterey was favorable to replacing the
planters with tree wells or whatever will keep people from walking .through
mud.
Mrs. Kennedy stated this is a very visual' point in Tustin, and the planter
will be an aesthetic softener. She compromised by asking that small step-
ping stones be interspersed with greenery.
Chairman Edgar agreed with having visual attractiveness. .However, if
ground cover is trampled and destroyed, it will lessen the aesthetics.
Mr. Edgar concurred that the planter should ha've easy access for those who
wish to walk across the lot. '
A representative for the applicant requested clarification/amendment to
several conditiOns in Exhibit A of Resolution No. RDA 87-19-
Item 1.8-F - Staff clarified that this would not preclude patrons
from making a left-turn from Newport Avenue into the alley.
Item 1.10 - The City Attorney suggested an amendment to this con-
dition to read, "Prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy,
or grading and foundation permits, as determined by the Director
of Community Development .... "
Item 2.4 - Staff clarified that the item addresses the appli-
cant's concern with the phrase "visible from the public right-
of-way or adjacent properties."
Mrs. Kennedy interjected that it is extremely difficult to get input from
the developer when there is no staff member present to give the Agency any
guidance, and was uncomfortable with the situation. ~
After Agency/staff discussion, it was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by
K.e.nnedy, to adopt the following, incorporate the City Attorney's amendment
to Item 1.10, and direct staff to work out with the developer any other
items of concern, and bring back any items that have not been resolved at
the next Agency meeting' '. ~
