Review of Planning Commission Meetings:
Lands of Ascension Development: Several variances were allowed. Sandy Humphries
fears that a dangerous precedent may have been formed when an increase to 13 feet was
allowed in the height of the sidewall of the driveway leading down into the underground
garage.
Ascension Development was faulted for selectively cutting oaks on the property and will
pay the 3 for 1 tree replacement forfeit.
Lands of Lampron: The existing pool encroaches far into the setback, and the rebuilt pool
will be allowed to do the same.
Review of Site Development/ Fast Track meetings:
No significant issues.
Future Commitments: None
Old Business:
Regrettably we were not able to man a stall at the June 1 Town Picnic. Because of our
absence a resident was not able to get her weed identified!
A letter will be sent to the City Manager suggesting improvements to the Arastradero
median under the 280 overpass: the removal of old overgrown material and its
replacement with drought-tolerant material would be our solution.
New Business:
Our Committee will put together its thoughts on the need for more attention to be paid to
the Town’s waterways and the Town’s regulations pertaining thereto.
Meeting adjourned 6:45 pm.
