COMMISSION CONCERNS
Asked if the Planning Commission could address the issue
of street sweepers mitigating environmental effects.
Indicated that Tustin Pride has asked the City Council to
investigate alternative street sweeping; recommendations
will be presented at the October Tustin Pride meeting.
Asked Commissioner Hamilton if it was his desire that the
Planning Commission review and comment on that process.
Answered affirmatively.
Stated that staff can bring the Tustin Pride information back
to the Planning Commission as an informational item; the
Commission does not normally get involved in fee issues
involving the public right-of-way.
Noted the distance between the two drive-through
mailboxes installed on Prospect are so close together that
two cars cannot drop mail at the same time; and, asked if
staff could suggest to the Post Office that the separation
between those mailboxes be increased.
Suggested that tonight's meeting be adjourned in memory
of the victims of the September 11, 2001, attack and in
honor of the rescuers who were lost and the ones who
continue the recovery efforts.
Stated the mailboxes on Prospect are not only too close
together, but also are designed so that one almost has to
exit one's car in order to drop mail into the boxes.
Stated she had a meeting with Tim Serlet to make up for
missing the workshop and now feels much better informed.
Asked if there is anything that can be done about the Home
Life signs around Tustin Market Place.
Answered that individuals have been cited for signs that
were placed in the City; staff will contact the City of Irvine to
see if further restrictions are possible.
Asked if those signs are legal in the City of Irvine.
Responded that the signs may be legal in Irvine.

Stated the Old Town streetscape plan is beautiful.
Noted that the Tustin Old Town Association continues to
grow and has opened a small office behind Rutabegorz.
Asked the Traffic Engineer about the car counters along
Amaganset.
Responded that the City is investigating the possible impact
of removing the signal at Amaganset and Yorba; and, noted
the entire City is counted during the months of October and
November.
Stated that several years ago them was an opportunity to
tour the County Emergency Operations Center; and, given
the events of September 11, suggested it would be worth
while to arrange another tour of that facility.
Indicated that staff can make those arrangements through
the Emergency Services Coordinator.
Encouraged everyone to attend Tustin Tiller Days.
ADJOURNMENT:
The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission is
scheduled for Monday, October 8, 2001, at 7'00 p.m. in the
