CURRENT BUSINESS
4.1 ACTION ITEMS.
4.1.L Minutes of May 9, 1996 approved as submitted by the Commission.
4.2 DISCUSSION ITEMS.
4.2.1 Request for Red Zone at 11 Guiuard Road
Mr. Dellaway had no cornments on this request. Sgt. Haseleu stated we are
closing more and more parking spaces to trucks which need to park in this
area. Comm. Evans asked about a business park for just trucks. Sgt.
Haseleu advised there is one but it is full of trailers.
From the floor, Mr. Timberlake, owner of 15 Guittard Road, stated that
parking is a major problem in this area and is protesting this request. He
was not aware of the petitioner's concern before now. Comm. Preger stated
that neighbors should talk to each other more to resolve problems between
them. Mr. Timberlake stated he will talk to the petitioner in an attempt to
resolve this situation between themselves. It was moved and seconded
(Comm. Simonetti/Preger) to move this item to Inactive status unless we
receive a further request to resolve this issue; unanimously approved by the
Commission.
4.2.2 Request for Stop Sign on Carmelita Avenue at Capuchino Avenue
Mr. Dellaway does not recommend this Stop sign, especially since it's so
close to El Camino Real. Sgt. Haseleu reiterated there is already a red zone
to aid visibility at the intersection and Comm. Auran stated some of the
landscaping in the immediate area needs trimming. It was moved and
seconded (Comm. Mayer/Simonetti) to move this item to an Action item
immediately; unanimously approved by the Commission. It was then
moved and seconded (Comm. Mayer/Simonetti) to deny this request;
unanimously approved by the Commission.

4.2.3 Request to Convert Hillside Circle to a One-Way Street
Comm. Simonetti advised that he goes through this area often and likes the
idea of converting to ore way. Mr. Dellaway has no problem either way.
There are advantages and disadvantages both ways. He advised that the
residents voted in favor of converting Hillside Circle one way: 7 Yes/2 No
(3 more Yes votes were counted at this meeting - 2 verbal, 1 written) .
Also, it was suggested to move the Stop sign on Hillside.
From the floor, Ms. Rogers recommends Hillside Circle be made one way
from Alvarado. The one way direction would make it safer for the children
on the block and eliminate u-turns. Also, a directional sign should be
installed for Kohl Mansion/Mercy Center since there is a lot of wedding
traffic on weekends. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Cohenden made further
comments promoting the one way direction.
Mr. Dellaway advised if one way, it must be clockwise. It was moved and
seconded (Comm. Auran/Simonetti) to move this to an Action item next
month; unanimously approved by the Commission.
INACTIVE ITEMS. None
NEW BUSINESS
6.1 Request for Height Limit Signs at L633 Adrian Road
This item will be a Discussion item next month after Commissioners/Staff review
the site.
7. INFORMATION ITEMS.
7.t Mr. Dellaway advised that the 5-foot height limit signs removed recently will be
replaced designating a 6-foot height limit.
7.2 Comm. Simonetti asked when Caltrans will replace the El Camino Real/Hitlside
Drive sign which had broken off its mast arm last December. Mr. Dellaway had
called Caltrans in the past and suggested that the commissioner or concerned party
now call Caltrans and provided information on who to contact at Caltrans.
7.3 Mr. Dellaway advised the commission of the status of the Director of Public
Works who is on medical leave.
