PC 90-57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION: None ~, '~; PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Bridge widening discussed when project was originally approved. Submitted exhibits and information to show that widening sidewalk will provide adequate distance. Had submitted information on restriping and a median for right turn only to Engineering following last meeting, but got no response; anticipated working out solution to Dale Street bridge widening prior to hearing. STAFF COMMENTS: Traffic Engineer - Submitted information on restriping last Thursday. If sidewalk being widening creates site distance necessary, no need for restriping. Engineering - flood Control would not permit just covering the wing walls, but would require that the culvert be extended. Would require Flood Control approval ACTION: Denied request to delete Condition No. 3, but requested Engineering staff to allow widening of sidewalk rather than widening of bridge, as app-~ved by City Traffic Engineer and the Orange County Flood Control District.

Continued from the meeting of January 29, and February 26, 1990 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0. ----------------------- ----------------------------------- FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Presented massing exhibit: proposing additional bus lane. Sewer study submitted last week indicates sewer at 63~ capacity and this project would bring it to 72'k capacity, Redesigned ^~ four times; can redesign bus lane for their buses only. Sanitation Division indicated normal operation to pick up trash on Katella. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Feldhaus - Concerned about vehicular turnaround; Hellyer - concerned about loading & unloading area for trucks and trash pick up on Katella; McBurney - Commission cannot approve Negative Declaration without results of sewer study; Bouas - suggested revised plans to show 15-foot wide landscaping & redesign of bus bay and trash pick up. STAFF COMMENTS: Traffic Engineer - Bus bay on a bus bay is proposed, dangerous if buses are stopped next to each other, passenger would have to cross in front of buses; passenger loading area should be provided in front of porte cochere. OCTD has strict regulations for bus bays (50' bay with 150-foot transition area) and this property does not have enough frontage to provide shared bus bay. No place for truck loading and unloading on site; trash pick up on Katella is unacceptable. Design could be accomplished with total redesign, perhaps building over porte cochere (similar to Hilton Hotel}, Engineering - Sta=f has not had enough time to review sewer study presented. Planning - Current Code requires 15 feet of landscaping. New CR enhancement program could require 30 feet. ACTION: Continued to 4-9-90 At request of applicant, to submit plans redesigning front of property and indicating adequate trash location and pick up area.
