4.I ACTION ITEMS.
4.1.1 Minutes of June 12, 197, approved as submitted by the Commission
4.1.2 Request for Stop Sign on Oak Grove Avenue at Winchester Drive
Mr. Dellaway advised that this intersection does not meet City criteria for
a Stop sign; tlerefore, staff recommends denial of request. Sgt. Haseleu
agreed. Commissioners discussed problems of speeders being mostly high
school students. Item needs study during school term. Also providing more
police patrol and possibly adding enlarged speed limit sign would slow
them down. It was moved and seconded (Comm. Mayer/Amoroso) to
recommend study be performed by staff and the Traffrc Sgt. in September
during school to determine where Stop signs are needed and to hstall
enlarged speed limit signs before school begins; unanimously approved by
the Commission.
4.2 DISCUSSION ITEMS.
4.2.1 Make Recommendations for Either l- or 2-Hour Parking Meters on
Burlingame Avenue and/or Side Streets
Mr. Dellaway advised that Council will hold a public hearing on this issue.
The merchants like l-hour parking on Burlingame Avenue, and Sgt.
Haseleu stated it is less congested with l-hour parking. It was moved and
seconded (Comm. Simonetti/Mayer) to recommend to Council to continue
l-hour parking on Burlingame Avenue and allot 2-hour spaces to its side
streets as needed; unanimously approved by the Commission.
5. INACTM ITEMS. None.

6. NEWBUSINESS.
6.1 Request for 3-Way Stop Signs on Easton Drive at Columbus Avenue
Fourteen residents of this area were present. This item does not meet all the City
criteria for Stop signs. However, this intersection is near a school, speeds are
above normal on Easton, and visibility is poor. Traffic Sgt. notes that speed is the
problem and if Stop signs were installed, there is no crosswalk. Much discussion
ensued. Comm. Mayer recommends that the trees be trimmed and if Stop signs
installed, they be moved up. Mr. Dellaway recommends approving this request. It
was moved and seconded (Comm. Auran/Amoroso) to move this to an Action item
immediately; it was then moved and seconded (Comm. Auran/Mayer) to
recommend to Council to install 3-way Stop signs and a crosswalk at this
intersection; unanimously approved by the Commission.
6.2 Request for Vision Clearance Zone at l2l0 Floribunda Avenue
Petitioner was present and spoke of lack of vision clearance and that there have
been accidents. Sgt. Haseleu noted there have been no accidents at this location.
This item will be moved to a Discussion Item for the next meeting.
