Mr. Jones stated there are no plans for plug in stations at guest parking.

Mr. Thomas stated the AC Transit routes and bus stop locations have not been determined yet, and this development will eventually connect with the Del Monte project. He stated the speed limit is 25, and there are no plans for bumps in the road. Mr. Jones stated mailboxes are determined by the post office and will probably be clustered. President Burton thanked staff and the developers. He stated the majority of the design is very good. He is pleased to see the emergency vehicle lane and street trees reworked. He commented on Universal Design bathrooms (AF.4) and has specific design comments on the width of the doors, and roll in showers, also the tubs and toilets don't appear to have grab bar access.
