MINUTES: a. Minutes for the meeting of July 9, 2007. Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that page 7, paragraph 4, should read, "Board member Cunningham noted that he did not want to see the uses in Alameda intensified so much that traffic would come to a stop." She noted that while Board member Cunningham was not present, but she would like to clarify that statement. Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that the second to last paragraph on page 9 should be changed to read, "Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that she had visited the gaming store and met the owner, and that it was very attractive inside. She recommended that when discussing how the Bridgeside Center could be made nicer, the Board should emphasize that it is not criticizing the hard-working individual business owners. Vice President Kohlstrand noted that the last paragraph of page 8 addressed the resolution of adoption for the gas station, and read that the Planning Board had approved a total of 18 pumping stations, and that the applicant proposed 24-hour operations and the sale of beer and wine. She believed the resolution should read 12 pumping stations; she understood that the request for the sale of beer and wine had been withdrawn. She requested that staff ensure that all of the conditions were correct. Board member Mariani noted that page 7 stated that she agreed with Vice President Cook's comments. She would like to elaborate specifically that her objection dealt with the non- peak hours, which include times when children are just getting out of school, walking around, or riding bikes; parents were driving children to Towne Centre for after-school activities during those times. She wished to state that the gas station was in close proximity to the hospital and many convalescent homes with patients walking around the area. She felt this was a major safety concern.
