11,1995 approved as submitted by the
Request for Red Zone at 50 Ingold Road
From the floor, Mr. Doyle advised that large trucks turn around
in this area and do a lot of backing in; so a red zone is for safety.
It was moved and seconded (Comm. Karp/Simonetti) to grant a red
zone for one space between 35 and 50 Ingold Road; unanimously
approved by the Commission.
Request to Change Two 2-Hour Meters to24 or 48 Minute Meters
at 1245 Howard Avenue
Mr. Dellaway stated that there are several green zones along
Howard Avenue now. Sgt. Haseleu agreed. Comm. Simonetti
stated this will cost the City money to changeover the meters and
paint the curb.
From the floor, Ms. Pisano stated that there are several new
tenants at this location which has changed from sedentary type
businesses to retail; therefore, customers come and go at a faster
rate. Comm. Karp suggested that since it's more retail, 60 minute
meters are more appropriate rather than24 and for uniformity, to
make all corners green zones with all other meters 60 minutes.
Comm. Karp motioned to grant changing two 2-hour meters to 60
minutes. Sgt. Haseleu advised that 24-minute meters get more
attention by parking enforcers than 60-minute meters. Comm.
Evans motioned to grant changing two 2-hour meters to 24
minutes. It was moved and seconded (Comm. Karp/Norton) to
deny this request; approved by the Commission with a 5-L-1 vote
(Comm. Evans opposing). This is to be an Action item for next
month.

June 8, 1995
Valet Parking and Parking l,ot O
Mr. Dellaway advised that the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board granted 30 spaces in Lot O for valet parking seven days a
week, 5 p.m. to Midnight and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sgt. Haseleu
advised that Gilmore Valet Company applied for a valet permit.
Also, there are no complaints in the evening, but some problems
exist during the lunch hours. Mr. Dellaway stated that as long as
Gilmore has a City valet permit and is conforming to the
requirements of the permit, he is in order.
Request for Traffic Signals at California and Carmelita
From the floor, Mr. Cartwright of AVR Realty advised this a
hectic situation. Hillsborough could use Carmelita to get to
California/Broadway if a traffic signal were installed. Conse-
quently, Broadway is more backed up with Hillsborough traffic.
The relatively new yellow flashing light on northbound California
Drive is no longer enough. This intersection is becoming more
hazardous, especially for pedestrians.
Mr. Dellaway advised that the cost of signals would be about
$100,000 and that there are four applications for other locations
which are not yet funded. Sgt. Haseleu reported there have been
14 citations and 3 accidents at this location. Caltrain causes the
Broadway backup.
It was moved and seconded (Comm. Simonetti/Evans) to make this
an Action Item immediately; unanimously approved by the
Commission. It was moved and seconded (Comm. Simonetti/
Karp) to recommend to City Council to look at funding from the
State of California for a traffic signal at the intersection of
California/Carmelita to be coordinated with Broadway signals;
unanimously approved by the Commission.
Feasibility of Studying Parking Permit Processing in Neighborhoods with Time
Restrictions (Inactive since 3i95)
It was moved and seconded (Comm. Simonetti/Evans) to remove this item from
the Agenda; unanimously approved by the Commission.

nor signs and markings have been installed at the request of the petitioners. Sgt.
Haseleu advised that they will continue to enforce the speed limit here.
6. NEW BUSINESS.
6.1 Request for a Green Zone at 822-826 Mahler Road
Comm. Norton suggested height limit signs for trucks parking there. Comm.
Karp suggested placing a green zone every 200 feet or so in this area. This will
be a Discussion item next month.
6.2 Request for Passenger Loading Zone on California at 1100 Burlingame Avenue
Mr. Dellaway stated that this request is in order except the length of space should
be 45 feet (not 63 feet). Also, the valet company will need to apply for a permit
for valet service. Sgt. Haseleu suggested using a yellow zone with signs for
times of use as installed at Il Fornaio. Cars will be parked at Ruppels Garage.

From the floor, Mr. lrvotti stated reasons for the green zone: building includes
several businesses whose employees park on the street even though there is a
parking lot in the back to hold over 100 cars; visitors/clients can't park close;
also large trucks park there for up to three days at a time.
