PRESENT: ABSENT: Members Gilb, Pellegrino, Parry None On MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Pellegrino and carried unanimously Members Margett and Saelid were excused. On MOTION by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Pellegrino and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of July 18 were approved. The Planning Director explained the recommendations of the Planning Commission concerning a proposal to develop property at 30 S. First Avenue into offices. It was noted that the plans submitted by the applicant were not complete enough to facilitate a review of the proposed building alterations to meet the various standard requirements for handicapped facilities, exiting, occupancy load, restrooms and the like. Concern was also expressed by the Commission members that the parking was not adequate to meet the need of the intense use'proposed. The office use is appropriate for the subject area. Member Pellegrino said in part that he was primarily against the proposal due to the way the plans came in and the lack of final plans; that the Downtown Arcadia Business Association was also against it for the same reasons. The applicant, Terry Dzvonick, 25692 Po Avenue, Mission Viejo, said he was aware of the parking problem and mentioned the possibility of leasing some additional parking space adjacent to his location. This arrangement would have to be made with the officials of the business in order to meet Councilman Gilb's approval who mentioned a prior experience. Mr. Dzonick said in part that time is of the essence as he is making a very substantial monthly payment on the property and he is anxious to make the improvements. He would like to know the position of the City Council as to whether or not it would entertain the concept of offices at the location before he went to the expense of full drawn plans. It was suggested that he meet with the Planning Department staff to assist him in drawing up concept plans. It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Pellegrino and carried on roll call vote as follows that the matter be carried over to August 15 or until the applicant makes a more detailed plan for the property development.
