Indicated the development at The Legacy is proceeding in a proper
manner thanks to the dedication and expertise of the City staff.
Added his thanks to staff for the tour.
Thanked staff for the tour and accommodating his special request
to look at the Sheriff's training facility.
Complimented staff regarding the amount of work involved in the
environmental documentation for the Specific Plan.
Noted the Summary of Projects is an indication of the great things
that are happening in the community.
Thanked staff for sending the material regarding the Pasadena well
facility and the comparisons of the original design and the redesign,
which is much more compatible with the residential neighborhood.
Stated that the Arco station on Newport Avenue provides just
enough room between the drive entry off Newport into the station
and the driveway just to the south to fit two automobiles and, when
parked, there is no turning radius in or out of the facility; Public
works should take a look at that situation and also the difficulty in
making safe right-hand turns out of the station.
Indicated that last Friday he attended the KFHS radio night and
was astounded by the talent of these Foothill students.
Welcomed David Kendig, the new Deputy City Attorney, to his first
solo Planning Commission meeting.
Thanked staff for the tour, noting how proud he is to be a Tustin
resident and see the development taking place at The Legacy.
Asked the Recording Secretary to make sure that mail for the
Planning Commissioners is delivered to them in a timely fashion;
sometimes mail left in the packets involves events that have
already taken place; perhaps on Friday of each week, any mail
could be forwarded to the Commissioners via USPS.
Apologized and promised to correct the oversight.
Mentioned there are several grand openings coming up; and,
encouraged all the Planning Commissioners to attend.
Indicated that another tour of The District in 30-40 days would be a
good idea.
