Commissioner Leo expressed concern over precedent that could be set for other neighborhoods. Commissioner De La Torre suggested that the item be tabled to allow staff to continue to review the parking issue with the residents. He expressed concern over the larger policy issue of allowing second driveways. He asked staff to look for creative solutions to help residents comply. He stated that fences designed to accommodate second driveways may also need to be reviewed. Chair Mondo inquired as to when construction would commence. Mr. Perez stated work begins with Borchard Avenue, then Elder Avenue, before August 8. Commissioner Nalle stated that disallowing second driveways may encourage people to park on their lawns. Commission expressed concern with additional inconvenience to residents as well as incurring additional costs. Chair Mondo stated that home owners bought homes without knowledge of existing permits on the property but that was not reason to approve the variance. Majority of the homes can accommodate three cars off of the street if wider driveways are allowed. He is concerned with the aesthetic issues at the driveways and the costs. He encouraged the issue to be resolved with the neighborhood and the police department. MOTION: Continue the public hearing to August 22, 2005 Planning Commission public hearing.
