Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 13, 2023 <br />Page 5 of 14 <br />Closing Statement by Staff <br />Zuccaro had no further comments; though he recommended deliberation about signage <br />and suggested that the Commission can ask the applicant to bring back a signage plan, <br />or add as part of conditions to work with staff on signage. <br />Brauneis closed the public hearing. <br />Discussion by Commissioners: <br />Commissioner sentiment is that they are comfortable for applicants to work with staff on <br />signage. <br />Baskett said signage is inexpensive and important. Choi agreed, and emphasized that <br />more flashy signage in addition to the striping on pavement would be helpful to draw <br />attention. <br />Osterman is in favor of supporting the resolution. <br />Brauneis suggests that the current striping is significant and that staff might think this is <br />enough. Choi and Howe want it to stand out since is atypical. <br />Howe thinks Tap and Garden is a great amenity and hopes it passes with conditions. <br />Choi is interested in reducing clutter on the southwest corner, to make sure there are <br />no line of sight obstructions on that corner for safety. He would like to see a verification <br />that there is no line of sight obstructions. <br />Brauneis worries that a condition on reducing clutter would get really complicated, and <br />says that the applicant is already invested in this and it seems to be working. <br />Baskett also understands not wanting to complicate this, but thinks an additional <br />condition for safety would make sense. <br />Brauneis says that conditions need to be specific, for example "address crossing <br />concerns inclusive of horizontal vertical and line of sight issues." <br />Choi suggests making that corner safer by changing design. <br />Howe would support a broader condition, but said it would be difficult to make objective <br />and accurate. <br />Choi says it is a great amenity so close to Main Street, and he appreciates work from <br />staff and applicant. <br />Howe moved and Choi seconded a motion to approve Resolution 13, Series 2023 with <br />the eight conditions as provided. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. <br />B.
