Seoondea by Comm. Oronseth. All ayes, motion carried. Chairman Cockrill oomplimented Comms. Smith and Baumgartnelo for their excellent work on this assignment. .) - , I t Chairman Cockrill reported that the Harbor Zonlng sub-oommittee, consisting of Gomlt'. Stringer, chairman, and Gomu, Oarcia, is planning a large public meetjag which will include property owner8 in the area around the harbor; that Newport Beach officials are willing to work with Carlsbad and pass on the results of their experience in developing their harbor facilities so that the City of Carlsbad 0811 profit from their mistakes. City Councilman Sutton was present and asked the oplnion of Commission men- bers as to having a member of the Planning Commission appointed as an inter- looking member of the Harbor Commission whloh is to be formed by the City, Challrm Cockrill stated it was his thought that the two sub-committee mem- bers should sit in on any meetings of the Harbor Commission but not be made voting members. The matter of creating a new zone In the Granville Park area, to ac- commodate bopfibrs of the shallow lots fact% on narrow streets In that dis- trict, was reviewed and briefly discussed, but no action taken. The matter of notifying affeoted property owners of zone ohanges, by wail, was discussea at length, The difficulty of obtainlng the addresses of owners within the legal 3OO-foot radius was brought out, and the sugges- tion was made tbt perhaps the City coul6 make a contraot with the Water Board to have one of thelr employees do this servioe; that if the present fees for ~eclassificatioa are not adequate to cover this serYIoe, they should be inoreased. As/alternative, if the addresses could not be ob- an tained by this means, it was felt that it may be neaessary to have a City employee go to San Diego and seoure them from the asses$or*s records. It was pointed out that the ordinance states that notice may be given either by publioation or by meriling post-card notices to legal owners withln 300 feet, but it was felt that in many cases affeoted owners fail to see the printed notices, No action was taken. Corn. Smith reported an open toilet, which is unsightly and unsanitary, between Laguna Drive and Knowles, about where Davis Street would go through. Mr. Anthony stated he would cheok same as soon as possible. Mr. Anthony was excused at 8~25 Po PI. It was agreed to study and further discuss at the next meeting (1) printlng of maps on all zone changes, (2) procedure on zonlng requests, and (3) whether post-cards should be sent on all public hearings'. The matter of the hearing on the request of Anderson & Bobinson for - - special use permit to allow an advertising sign on a benoh at Grand Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard, postponed to this date from June 14th, was ais- cussed, and it was decided that since the Planning Commission was still without advice from the City Council as to poliey on the advertising sign question, no action could be taken on the applioation. Comm'. Baumgartner moved that the hearlng on the request of Anderson & Robltnson for speoial u8e pemnit to allow bench advertising, postponed from June 14th, be poat- poned again to September 13th at 7r30 P.
