r ? PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 26, 1985 PAGE 3 Proposal to relocate recreational area (clubhouse, pool, tennis court). (Variance granted October 2, 1985). Heard by the Architectural Board of Review November 20, 1985. Chairman Burns read Police Department report: The area for this re- location is a high incident area for the Police Department with juve- niles congregating, parties, fires, etc. The building as shown on the plan will be difficult to patrol and give proper security checks. I believe the concern of the residents is justified about the hours of the pool and rental of the building. There will be noise and distur- bances with this type of area. The area (vacant) to the south is also an area of concern./The driveway is located on Country Club between two cuts in the median. There is a present problem with vehicles driving over the median making itverq unattractive - I believe this will in- crease with the proposed entrance. The Fire Department had no objec- tion to proposal. Mr. Carlisle presented lighting plan which will put all lighting on the ground with no horizontal spill over.' Plans stiow an 8' board on board cedar or redwood fence which will be placed 5' inside property line as requested by the adjacent neighbor and as re- quired by the Archictectural Board of Review. Opening between this fence and the adjacent existing fence will be closed. Assistant Law Director Dubelko advised that the concerns raised by the Safety Dept. are not the concern of the Plannirig Commission. Mr. Pekar the adja- cent neighbor was present and again stated his objection to the proposal and stated that he would call the police in the event of any disturb- ances. J. Wixted moved to approve the Country Club Condominium Assoc. proposal to relocate their recreational area which includes their club- house, pool and tennis court to property adjacent to Great Northern Village Apartments and the rear and side property lines of property facing Whitethorn Ave, incorporating the 5' set back from the property line on the wooden fence that was mentioned in the Architectural Board of Review's recommendations and also approving the cut-off lighting, seconded by E'. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 4) Biskind Development Co., property located south of the exiting Great Northern Shopping Center extending to Country Club Blvd. Proposal to extend Great Northern Shopping Center. Heard by Architectural Board of Review November 20, 1985. It was explained that Victoria Lane in this area is not dedicated right of way. Mr. Carlisle stated ttiat they are working with the Condominium Qwners Association as to landscaping and mounding on berms to screen the service areas from the condominiums across the street, actual height of berms will be determined later. The Architectural Board had approved as presented with the stipulation that mechanical units on the roof be screened in a horizontal line and that the screening be presented to them at a later date. The Safety Department expressed concern that the driveway exit on Country Club is shown to be offset about 80' and believes it would be better if the drives were across from each other. The plan does not show the location of Clubside, and whether it is across from a drive or offset. The curb cut farthest south will cause a problem being so close to the intersection. The intersection is presently very wide, and with additional traffic going south, especially trucks, it will causefurther traffic problems.. After some study it was determined that there is an existing median cut with no driveway on
