Item 1: The minutes of May 17, 2007 were continued to June 21, 2007. (All Ayes)
Planning Commissioners want the record of discussions about the Aerie
condominium project recommendation to be expanded. Implementation of bluff

implementation of the policies be clearly set forth in greater detail.

An application for an Accessory Outdoor Dining Permit to allow the construction and
operation of a 636 square foot outdoor dining area in conjunction with the existing
full - service restaurant.
After testimony from affected residents, the Planning Commission considered a
wide range of conditions that could be included to mitigate noise impacts on the
owners of nearby properties on Linda Isle. Existing conditions described by
residents included loud conversations and screams from patrons either smoking or
queuing for valet parking in the parking area opposite and across the water from
their homes. The Commissioner set forth minimum mitigation measures including
restriction on hours of use of the outdoor patio and enclosure of the smoking area
under the outdoor patio with a plexiglass screen wall. The Commission voted to
continue the item and directed staff to return on June 21st with a resolution for
approval including of these conditions. (5 Ayes, 2 Noes)

ITEM NO. 4. Albertson's Market
Update on compliance with Use Permit conditions of approval.

operate with parking requirements partially satisfied through use of a public parking
lot two blocks from the store. Albertson's management has not complied with
conditions that include a requirement that employees be provided with parking
permits for the municipal parking lot. Albertson's management has taken steps to
bring the use into compliance with conditions of approval and the Commission
directed staff to review compliance and report back in twelve months. (All Ayes)
