The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Shaw at 7:40 p.m.

Also present was Code Inspector David Rosso.
ANTENNA The Commission discussed the Mayor's
directive to meet with the Council in
a joint session for review of the pro-
posed Antenna ordinance. Mr. Hughes said he would prepare written discussion
to forward with --the ordinance to the City Council prior to the actual 3oint
work session on March 23. The letter from De De Hicks was reviewed. The
major points covered are as follows:
- Possible use of "findings" wording to be consistent with other
permits (9614-2, C-1).
- Notification procedure set up for all adjacent, and 300 feet
with 45 -foot or higher pad elevation (to be established by
staff!) (9614-B, a).
- Permit to terminate with ownership, require new application
for new owner!
1
- Permit procedure should not be for outright denial,'but
rather "arbitration" of conflicts.
Future Considerations:
- Extend notification period to fifteen (15) days.
- Utilize Specific Plan View Corridor Analysis to map out
areas where 45 -foot limit would be absolute.
- Utilizing CC&Rs for new tracts to restrict antenna height,
expecially in coastal area.
TREE TRIM/VIEW The Commission felt that the purpose
was not to limit specific height, but
to arbitrate where a blockage exists.
The following points were covered in discussion:
- General and specific plan establish that City is concerned
with view preservation
- New subdivisions can provide adequate initial regulation
through City imposed CC&R conditions.
The following requests were made of staff:
- At what point can the City (Planning Commission or City Council)
impose and/or give approval to CC&R desired conditions, needs
clarification from Pat Coughlin as to proper timing for con-
sideration and imposition. Also, can CC&R conditions be used
to provide for continuing maintenance related to Tree Trimming/
View Preservation (i.e., can City enforce CC&Rs if imposed on
new tracts?).
- Staff to prepare outline of basic issues pertinent to Tree Trim/
View Ordinance (i.e., what is reasonable view, who pays what
and when, etc.) for next Work Session of March 3.
The meeting was ad3ourned at 11:00 p.m.
