Planning Manager Downing announced the applicant’s request to postpone the item to allow for a
fifth Planning Commissioner to be appointed by the City Council, recommended that the Commission
receive public comment on the item, and continue the public hearing to a date unknown.
Chair Martin opened the public comment period. Speaking from the public were: Linda Busek, 240
Aspen Street, spoke in opposition to the project, stating that it is too dense of a project with insufficient
parking that will exacerbate traffic congestion at the Fair Oaks Avenue and Halcyon Road
intersection; Ericka Horn, 431 Woodland Drive, spoke in opposition to the project, stating that the
project does not meet General Plan objectives and will result in unsafe turning movements; Betty
Johnson, 839 Fair Oaks Avenue, spoke in opposition to the project, stating it will increase traffic and
create conflicts with emergency personnel at the hospital; Bob Merrick, 906 Fair Oaks Avenue, spoke
in opposition to the project, stating concerns with light trespass, impacts from the trash enclosure
adjacent to his property, and impacts to traffic; Karen White, spoke in opposition to the project, stating
impacts to traffic, and concern that the development will use “Halcyon” in the title which will be
misleading because it is not in the Village of Halcyon. Jim DeCecco, 140 Vista Del Mar, spoke in
opposition to the project, stating concerns with its compatibility with the Halcyon Complete Streets
Plan project; Tracy Scovil, 909 Cameron Court, spoke in opposition to the project, stating concerns
with the cumulative traffic impacts of the development and the recently completed medical building;
Ed Cox, 867 Todd Lane, spoke in opposition to the project, stating concerns with the amount of
proposed parking, and the likelihood of cars from this development parking on the street. Tori Perkins,
spoke in opposition to the project, stating concerns with the traffic impacts to an already congested
intersection at Fair Oaks Avenue and Halcyon Road. Sharon Height, spoke in opposition to the
project, stating concerns with the traffic impacts to both streets that serve as thoroughfares, and the
cumulative impacts of the development and the recently completed medical building. Gary Reinhart,
301 Creekview Court, spoke in opposition to the project, stating concerns with traffic because the
traffic study does not take into account the medical building fully operational, and this location is not
appropriate for this type of development. Hearing no further public comments, Chair Martin closed
the public hearing.
Action: Chair Martin moved to continue the item to a date uncertain.
Commissioner Schiro seconded, and the motion passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Martin, Schiro, Montes, Maraviglia
