Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report noting the
following:
· The applicant's request.
· Area, location and site description.
· Consistency with zoning and land use designation.
· The staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Wilkinson suggested that this application would be a good
example of an application that could be approved by the Site and Architectural
Review Committee, rather than coming to the full Commission. He noted that at
the February 26, 1992, Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting, the
Committee recommended approval.
Chairperson Fox opened the public hearing.
Public Comment:
Mr. James Zion, 6302 Pollrock Avenue, San Jose, Office Manager at 1783 South

condition that would require the applicant to maintain the sidewalk access in the
project area.
MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Dougherty, seconded by
Plannin$ Commission Minutes 3 March 10, 1992
Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy, It was unanimously
ordered that the Public Hearing be closed.
Commission Discussion:
Commissioner Alne pointed out that this applicant is paying the same fee as
Apple Computer in order to legally open a 15 square foot flower stand outdoors.
He expressed concern that since "de minimus non curat lex," defined as "the law
does not deal with trifles," this application should not have required a public
hearing before the Planning Commission. He suggested investigating options that
would expedite these types of applications, and limit the fees for such.
Further, Commissioner Alne asked staff if there was a process, whereby the fees
could be waived and a refund provided to the applicant. Mr. Piasecki stated that
the applicant could submit a letter requesting a refund for fees to the City Clerk's
Office.
MOTION:
On motion of Commissioner Wilkinson, seconded by
Commissioner Perrine, it was unanimously ordered
Resolution No. 2786 be adopted, approving LIP 92-03,
