Absent None APPROVAL OF PIINUTES June 3, 1980 Commissioner Fairbanks queried Commissioner Kasolas as to whether the Amendment No. 1 on Page 7 was correctly stated. Commissioner Kasolas reponded that he could not recollect. She then asked f~1r. Kee if he could clarify the policy statement set forth in Amendment No. 2 on Page 8. r-1r. Kee then responded that it is staff's understanding that when a single-family structure is to remain it will require at least 6,000 square feet, the remainder of the property would be calculated for development in accord with the Zoning Ordinance. Further, if the residence is to remain a part of the development--no subdivision proposed--it could be one unit of the development in the overall lot area; i.e., if 10 units allowed, it wculd be one of the 10. After considerable discussion of the clarification, it was the consensus of the Commission that Resolution No. 1902 be forwarded on to the City Council as approved, with any necessary clarification to be given by the Planning Director at the time the Council considers this item. Commissioner Kasolas then moved for approval of the June 3, 1980 Planning Commission minutes as submitted, noting the clarification by the Planning Director, seconded by Commissioner Kotowski and adopted with Commissioner Fairbanks voting "No." COPI~~UNICATIONS h1r.

Commissioner Dickson then expressed concern about changing past policy regarding maximum allowable area for signs (50 square feet). "~1r.
