the Commission. <br />BALOG: And what do they look at? I mean, when you're recommending that <br />you keep it with the Planning Department, are they looking at, does that piece of <br />property fit what they're trying to accomplish, because we had listened to testimony that <br />was given that said that Public Works critiques the subdivision application, and that <br />Planning Department can't, and does not have Engineering staff to look at a <br />subdivision permit and say that it meets, quote, a code, or doesn't meet a code, so I'm <br />just wondering, did they, at least, let you know what they look at before you guys made <br />a recommendation, or was it just you guys just had a discussion? Just out of curiosity. <br />TANAKA: They, meaning Public Works? <br />BALOG: Planning Department. <br />TANAKA: Planning Department. <br />BALOG: This was held at your meeting, right? <br />TANAKA: Yes. Only in the sense that the department pretty much made <br />known their recommendation, and yes, this is not in accordance with the <br />recommendations from the department. This only comes from the Planning <br />Commission. <br />BALOG: Yes. So your Commission feels that it's good that they look at the <br />paper and, although they couldn't say yes or no that it will meet engineering standards, <br />just that they're double checking Public Works? <br />TANAKA: Right, like a check and balance means. <br />RAY: Roland, did you have something? <br />HIGASHI: Leonard, what role does a Planning Commission have, if any, in <br />the permitting process? <br />TANAKA: Which permitting are you speaking of? <br />HIGASHI: Any permits come in, whether permit for a house, a subdivision, a <br />shopping center. <br />TANAKA: Permits like SMA, Use and Special - <br />HIGASHI: Not SMA. <br />14 <br />
