2007-10-05 Planning Commission Minutes

Home

water issue was new to them, but it did not seem something that the Association would be involved in. He added, however, that if they later find out that it is something that the Association would be involved in, they will address it at that time. Commissioner Woodward and the Chair informed Mr. Gadd that the applicant would have to appear before the Commission again if they proposed something different from what is currently proposed. Commissioner Woodward noted that Mr. Gadd did not have any other objections to the proposal other than his objection to the fairness question with regard to the water supply, which can be addressed by the Department of Water Supply and the Planning Director, independent of the Commission’s recommendation on this particular item. For Commissioner Siracusa’s information, Mr. Hauney and Mr. Okuyama said they did not intend to put a sign up as they do not expect, nor would they want, anyone from the public to come to the facility since it will be used for storage. Mr. Okuyama at this time gave some background information on their attempts to provide such a facility to the Orchidland Community Association since 1984. It was moved by Commissioner Watanabe and seconded by Commissioner Domingo that the application be approved as recommended by the Planning Director with Condition 7 amended to read, “The applicant shall comply with fireflow requirements meeting with the approval of the Fire Department and Board of Water Supply.” A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with six ayes (Watanabe, Domingo, Ogata, Siracusa, Woodward and Graham) and three absent and excused (Alameda, Iwashita, and Rho).
