Planning Commission Minutes
December 10, 2013
Page 4 of 7 Pages
Planning Manager Starns stated that the Flood Control District usually does
not want to share their access and the Fire Department felt that the proposed
emergency access was sufficient.
Steve Armanino, Director of Development, Olson Company, indicated there
would be approximately 430 entries to the development site per day, the
traffic engineer concluded that a traffic signal would not be necessary a
sidewalk would be built on the north side of the street however, no bus route
that stops near the proposed development. The pocket parks would not be
available to the public and the development will have energy efficient lighting
and plumbing fixtures.
Chairman Cordes asked the applicant to clarify the proposed timeline for the
project.
Steve Armanino, Director of Development, Olson Company, would like to
complete the project by 2015.
Chairman Cordes opened the public hearing.
Jerry Jambazian, Temple City business owner, asked the applicant if traffic
could travel east and west, how close the driveway is to the railroad, and if
there is a portion of the Eaton Wash that could be spanned.
Planning Manager Starns clarified that the development allows for both left
and right turns and there is approximately 445 feet of visibility in either
direction.
City Attorney Murphy clarified that Flood Control would have to approve a
span.
Mike Mangana, commercial property owner, is not in favor of the proposed
development however, he would be in favor of a commercial development.
John Reekstin, Olson Company, assured Mr. Mangana of his experience of
building development in industrial corridors to reduce noise to a minimum.
Jim Clift, Temple City Resident, spoke about the Alameda Corridor Project.
Chairman Cordes closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Horton could make the findings to approve the project as long
as spanning onto Temple City Boulevard is considered.
City Attorney Murphy suggested that the concerns of the Planning
Commission could be addressed in a Staff Report to the City Council for
approval.
