The Secretary then read the application, as submitted by the applicant, setting
forth the reasons for requesting the Conditional Use Permit on subject
property. The application also stated that the property in question is in
escrow at the present time and that a more exaat legal description would be
presented and that a final plot plan for development of the property would be
submitted for the Commission’s approval before any construction is commenced.
There were three items of correspondence received:
(1) Letter dated May 21, 1960, signed by George E, and Janet R. Eyre, 3819
Adams St., protesting the issuance of this Conditional Use Permit. Their
reasons were that this would create a traffic problem on Pi0 Pico Dr. and
that it would cause a decrease in the valuation of their property.
(2) Petition dated May 21, 1960, containing 7 signatures protesting the
placement of a parochial school and church on said property.
(3) Letter dated May 24, 1960, signed by Mrs. John R. Keenan, opposing the
issuance of a Conditional Use Permit as requested, the reasons being that this
would create a dangerous traffic hazard and it would lower the evaluation of
their property,
MR. PAUL SWUISKK, representing the applicant, stated that the fact that the
surrounding property is residential does not exclude considering it for a
church and parochial school, He stated that this is the purpose of a Conditione-
Use Permit. He pointed out that it is a real problem to find an available
site large enough for a school and that for this parochial school it is
necessary for the site to be located close enough for walking traffic, as they
do not anticipate any type of bus service. He further pointed out that this
would certainly be compatible with the area as it exists, since the adjacent
property is being utilized by another church.
n
He stated that the appj iC?i-tt was un?5le to pi'e::c-ln+. 2 detailed plot plan Of
their proposed development at this tin:, klt i:h:tC they will definitely be
meting all requirements of the City's 0~2ii~tlW~S. 'Ihe applicant wishes it to
be clearly understood that the Permit be granted an the condition that a final
plot plan be presented to the Cmissionfm its approval before any construction
is started, Mr. Swirsky also stated that: there are many large blocks in
Carlsbad which present a usage problem. In this Case the epplicant is
acquiring all of the property in the center of the block, thus eliminating
this problem. He stated that Father O'Dwyer would be happy to answer any
questions regarding the application.
MR. HENRY MSZEAUX, 1148 Las Flores, stated that he did not want to discuss the
rise and fall of property values resulting from the establishment of a school,
but that we have something more important to consider. Carlsbad has a serious
problem in the gramrnar schools, of not being able to accommodate all students
on full-day schedules, He feels that the establishment of this school would
automatically release space and be of great help to the grammar schools.
MRS. JOHN R. KEENAN, 1030 Tamarack Ave., stated that she has no objections
to a parochial school in Carlsbad, but she does object to the location. She
believes that the Church's location on Elm would be a good location for the
school, since it is close to the bus and the church. She feels that a dan-
gerous traffic problem would be created on Pi0 Pic0 Dr. if this application is
approved as submitted .
MR. GEORGE EYRE, 3819 Adams St., asked why they could not use the vacant land
which they already have on Elm?
MR. PAUL SWIRSM, pointed out that the property they now own on Elm only con-
stitutes 1.6 acres. They do not own all of the area as many people believe.
This area is not an adequate size; the property they are contemplating con-
sists of 4,43 acres. Also, it has been revealed through study that the high-
est use o€ the property on Elm is comnercial use. A sketch of approximately
what is being considered for the area was presented to the Commission by Mr.
Swirsky.
The public hearing was closed at 8:OO P.M,
The Commissioners discussed the matter and generally agreed that this location
is a suitable one, They pointed out that Pi0 Pica Dr. is not considered a
primary NortheSouth road; there is Harding St, on the West side of the Freeway
and also Jefferson, They also pointed out to those who were protesting on the
basis of a traffic problem and the children walking in the street, that the
sketch of the area indicates sidewalks running the full length of the property
and that the City's plan is to widen Tamarack to 84 feet by the time this
property is developed. The Chairman also stated that the City will widen
Pi0 Pic0 Dr. by 12 feet on the Ease side, due to its being, a secondary street.
Commissioner Miller stated that he would like to ask one question - How is it
that they are allowed to build on this site, when they do not have enough
property to meet State requirements on size? The public schools must meet
these requirements in order to build, and he would like to know why they are
allowed to build on a substandard site.
FATHER D'DWYER stated that these requirements art set forth by the Board of
Education and only apply to public schools. He stated that they had been
6-
searchir.g for 2-1/2 years to find a sitx thai -.]as tal:.+? enough for their pur-
poses and close enough for walking traffic, He skiled that they plan to run
an educational institution, not a gymnasiam.
It was moved by Commissioner Ward and seconded by Cmissioner Jarvie that
Resolution No. 160 be adopted, granting a Conditional Use Permit as requested
by the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Diego, Corporation Sole, to allow the
construction of a parochial school, church and structures pertinent thereto on
portion of Thum Lands Tract 236, for the following reasons:
Said
1, The site is well-suited to the use requested because of its
central location and availability to walking traffic.
2. It would not be detrimental to the surrounding properties,
since there is already a church in the imnediate area.
3, The establishment of a parochial school would tend to alleviate
the crowded condition of Carlsbad's elementary schools,
4, This would be an asset to the coarunity.
Conditionel Use Permit shall be issued subject to the following conditions:
1, That before any construction is campenced, the applicant shall submit
to the Planning Comrrission for its spproval a final plot plan for the
development of the area, which plan also includes provisions for all
necessary on-site and off-site improvements.
2. That the applicant make an offer of dedication to the City of Carl&&
of an adequate amount of property along Tamarack Avenue and Pia Pic0
Drive to permit the widening of these streets in accordance with the
Master Plan of the City of Carlsbad.
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote:
AYES: Chairman Stringer, Conmisslonerd Zahler, .Ward, Thomas, Miller 6
Noes: None. ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
Jarvie,
Resolution No, 160 adopted.
Request of Donald Briggs, Jr. for reduction of front yard
from 20 feet to 2 feet; reduction of rear yard from 20
feet to no rear yard and the increase of the side yards
from 10 feet to 15 feet, on portion of Tract No. 2, Laguna
Mesa Tracts.
Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to the publication of
notice of hearing and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area.
The Secretary then read the application submitted by the owner setting forth
the reasons for requesting the variance, The Secretary pointed out that the
variance is being requested on 3 adjoining lots. There were several items of
correspondence received on this matter, which were read by the Secretary:
(1) Letter dated May 20, 1960, from George T. McDonald of 2363 Jefferson,
urging favorable consideration by the Planning Comnission of the application
for the following reasons: (ai A variance was gro*:t.ed in the past for the
building of 2 residences on the sam side of Jefferson; (b) Granting the
variance would be in keeping with progress and the beautification of the City.
(2) Letter dated May 21, 1960, from the applicant to the City Manager, request-
ing an opinion from the City Traffic Safety Committee or Police Department as
to the effect this variance would have on traffic.
The reply from U. Max Palkowski, Chief of Police, stated that an investi-
gation revealed that no hazard would be created by the proposed variance.
(3) Petition dated May 23, 1960, containing 2 signatures, protesting the
granting of said variance for the following reasons: (a) The setback of 2
feet violates any past rezoning of the Planning Commission in regard to
setbacks on main thoroughfares; (b) In the widening of Jefferson St., the
hazard to any homes built in this area would be serious; (c) There is a
hazard of curve approach to occupants of dwellings; (d) The dwelling on
adjoining property was built several years ago under County jurisdiction;
(e) The present street usage does not designate the true street and could be
misleading to future purchasers.
(4) Petition dated May 23, 1960, identical to item (3) above, containing 2
signatures of members of the Buena Vista Lagoon Assn,
(5) Letter from D. R. Dfnius expressing the hope that the variance would be
granted for the following reasons: (a) Development of property in question
would change an unsightly eroded cliff into a residential area of great
beauty; (b) The improvement would benefit the community as a whole;
(c) All costs of future improvements on Jefferson St. in this area would be
reduced to present Owners by including this 400' of frontage in pro-rating
costs; (d) the type of Construction necessary to develop this area will be
a beautifying addition EO the entire community.
DON BRIGGS, JR., applicant, presented some large maps of the property. He
stated that he had talked with many people in the area, who did not wish to
become interested parties and sign their names to anything, however, there
were 8 assents to the variance.
MRS. IVA GROBER, 2366 Jefferson, stated that she was trying to decide why the
applicant is asking for no rear yard. One may assume that he plans to reverse
the usual frontage on Jefferson Street to the rear yard. This would be a mora
serious hazard than the 2 feet requested for the front yard. She also stated
that with the house and garage built so close to the street, the City would be
put to great expense for the widening of Jefferson St. She continued, saying
that when sewers were put in, this particular piece of property was declared
of no value or usage and the sewer was never paid for on this property because
it was felt it could never be used. Also, this piece of property went without
paying any taxes for many years for the same reason. Mrs. Grober stated that
she assumes he is asking for no rear yard in order to have the house fronting
on the ocean instead of Jefferson St. with the garage right next to the street.
She said that the present aparent size of Jefferson St. is misleading and
that it is hardly 30' wide, making backing in and out on that street dangerous.
She stated that when traffic is heavy, they cannot get out of their driveway. If YOU have cars backing out from 3 houses, this would create a real hazard.
-4-
MRS. LAURA SHAW, 2034 Lincoln St., Oceanside, spe~qking on behalf of the Buena
Vista Lagoon'Assn., stated 'that their property adjoins this property in
question. She stated that the Lagoon Association had not received a notice
of this hearing. She said'that they were concerned about the road leading
down from this property. This road is now vacated and is the only entrance
of the Association to the water. They will be needing this road and are eager
that property in this vacated road not become involved in any proceedings.
MR. GEORGE A, GROBER, 2366 Jefferson, stated that he was personally against
putting anything there because of the traffic hazard.
MRS. WILLIAM H. MARTIN, 1100 Las Flores, stated that she does not object so
much to traffic hazard, but when they bought their property, they were told
that no buildings could be put in front of them, because the property had no
value. Why should some speculator come in and put some houses in there
against all planning rules. Why shouldn't everyone abide by these rules?
MRS. FRAN PINCKNEY, 2386 Jefferson, stated she lives directly in back of
this property, She is very proud of the view they now have; they have put
$50,000 into their home and they do not want to have to look down in the back
yard of this property.
DON BRIGGS, JR. stated that, according to an opinion from the City Hall, the
road could not be used. He has title and fee policy with the exception of the
right to use that 20 feet. He would like to have that 20 feet counted as
rear yard set back, leaving 45 feet on the narrowest lot between Carlsbad
Road and Jefferson, He would still be 20 feet from the rear of the property.
As fer as putting in sewers and the value of the property, he paid what he
considered a lot of money for that frontage. He pointed out that many times
land has been set down as of no value and then oil or other things are dis-
covered on it, He stated that hillside building can be regarded as very
beautiful, He said that there really isn't any difference between front yard
and rear yard, both should be beautiful. He would have 2 front yards and no
back yard. He has planned a W*' shaped driveway for the front, which will not
necessitate backing out onto the street; it will provide a drive-thru situation,
with a turn-around area at one end. He is increasing the side yards to 15
feet to prove his intention as to the type of development he has planned, He
could get more lots out of the property with smaller side yards.
Mr. Briggs brought out 8 scale model of the house he intended to build on
the most northerly of the 3 lots, and a discussion of the model was engaged in
by all interested parties.
MRS. FRAN PINCKNEY, asked how they could know what he intended to build on the
other 2 lots.
DON BRIGGS, JR., pointed out that one could never know what would go on a
vacant lot. However, he did not feel that anyone would pay what he was asking
for the lots just to build a shack on them.
MRS. IVA GROBER said that according to the ordinance, having 15 foot side
yards would mean 30 foot set back in the rear. It seemed to her that Mr.
Briggs was changing the whole ordinance.
FIR. GEORGE GROBER stated that he cannot see how anything could be built on the
lots. It would have to hang in the sky.
” I 8
The public hearing was closed at 8:55 P.M.
The Secretary stated to Mrs. Shaw that the Buena Vista Lagoon Assn. was
notified of the hearing; the notice was sent in care of Mr. C. Fennel, P. 0.
Box 305, which is the name and address given in the Tax Assessor‘s roll. He
pointed out that this is the record that we are required by law to follow in
sending out the notices.
Considerable discussion was given the matter. Conmissioner Jarvie stated that
he had gone up and looked at the property and had not been able to figure out
how anything could be built on it, but now he was certainly convinced that
it could be used. He feels that the Commission should grant the variances
on one lot at a time as more or less a safeguard to the other property owners
in the area. He felt it would certainly be an improvement over the patch of
weeds there now.
Chairman Stringer stated that he felt this should be treated in the same manner
as beach and water front property.
Commissioner Zahler moved, seconded by Commissioner Jarvie, that the variance
be granted as requested on the most northerly of the 3 lots only, for the
following reasons:
1. Similar variances have been granted on beach front property where
the topography precludes construction with normal set backs.
2. That granting the variance would permit the best use of the land,
due to the extreme topography.
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners Zahler, Thomas, Miller lu Jarvie.
NOES: Chairman Stringer, Commissioner Ward.
ABSENT: Conmissioner Netka.
The motion failed to pass for lack of a 2/3 majority vote of the Commission,
Mr. Briggs stated that he felt he had been turned down due to lack of agree-
ment on the number of lots the variance would be granted on--just one or all 3--
and asked for a reconsideration of his application on the basis of including
all 3 lots.
Commissioner Jarvie stated that he did not understand why the Chairman had
voted against granting the variance on one lot, when he was in favor of
granting it on all 3.
Chairman Stringer stated that the Commission has been fronted with a lot of
piece-meal proposals. A lot of study and work has gone into this and he
does not feel that they should just do the job half-way.
Commissioner Zahler stated that it was his opinion that they had not acted on
the request as submitted by the applicant, which request was for a variance
on all 3 lots.
The Secretary pointed out that the motion had not covered the whole appli-
cation and they had not denied the variance on the other 2 lots.

It was moved by Commissioner Miller and seconded by Commissioner Zahler that
Resolution No. 161 be adopted granting the variance on all 3 lots as re-
quested by Donald Briggs, Jr. in his application, for the following reasons:
1. That granting the variance would permit the best use of the land,
due to the extreme topography.
2. That similar variances have been granted on beach front property
where the topography precludes construction with normal set backs.
3. That granting the variance would not be detrimental to public welfare
or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity.
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote:
AYES: Chairman Stringer, Commissioners Zahler, Thomas, Miller.
NOES: Commissioners Ward and Jarvie.
ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
The variance was denied due to lack of a 2/3 majority vote.
Commissioner Jarvie stated that he had cast a no vote because he felt the
Commission should act on one lot at a time. Mr. Briggs stated that he had no objection to having just one lot at a time considered.
A ten-minute recess was called at 9:20 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:30 P.M.
7- CONTINUED HEARING RECLASSIFICATION - Request for change of ,zone from R-1 and
R-P to M of certain properties lying westerly of a
proposed street running north and south between
Tamarack and Chestnut, the centerline of said street
being 260' easterly of the A.T. & S.F. Railroad
right-of-way, and of certain parcels lying easterly
of said proposed street from R-1 and R-P to R-3,
said requests being made by D, R. Dinius and by the
Carlsbad City Planning Commission by its Resolution
of Intention No. 15.
The Secretary reviewed what had transpired on the matter. The application sub-
.mitted by the owner was then read, setting forth the reasons for requesting the
reclassification. The Secretary then read Resolution of Intention No. 15,
adopted by the Planning Commission on April 12, 1960. The correspondence which
had been received on the matter for the original hearing was re-read by the
Secretary, and then several items of new correspondence which had been received
were read:
(1) Six identical petitions, dated May 12, 1960, protesting the reclassification,
bearing some 106 signatures.
(2) Letter dated May 21, 1960, from Richard R. Coe, submitting an alternate
proposal for the zone changes and proposed street.
The Chairman stated that this particular area had been the subject of several
hearings and that several plans had been turned down because they would have
constituted spot zoning rather than a plan for the entire area. He stated
that at the hearing on April 26, 1960, when Mr. Koyl had requested B : continu-
ation of the hearing, he had stated that he would come'in with another plan
for the entire area which also included a street. Therefore, the Chairman
'0 asked Mr. Koyl for his plan. -7-
MR. ARCHIE KOYL presented a map to the Chairman, stating that this was the
plan which majority of the people in the area favored.
The Chairman stated that this map would be studied at the conclusion Of the
public hearing.
MR. D. R. DINIUS, applicant, stated that he would like to point out several
facts about this matter. He stated that this is the largest piece of un-
developed land between the Freeway and the ocean within the City Limits. He
has, over the past 4 years, considered several plans for developing the area,
and several plans had been turned down because there was no plan for the
entire area. He feels that this plan is the most feasible and practical for
development of the area. Mr. Dinius stated that there had been a good deal of
misrepresentation regarding his intent for the use of the property. He said
that he has no definite comnitments of any kind as to what will be put in; he
has no intention of putting in a rubber plant or slaughter house, or any
other similar operation. What he ha5 in mind is an electronics or soft-goods
type of industry. He continued, saying that the M zoning above this area is
in its present state due to lack of planning. That area was developed as
individual pieces of property, whereas the area now under consideration could
be developed as a whole. This is the only plan he has been able to work out for
the extension of Tyler Street, which extension would certainly benefit the
entire City.
MR. P. A. CLOUD, 271 Redwood, stated that when Mr. Dinius purchased this prop-
erty it was landlocked, and this was his responsibility. He stated that making
this an M zone would be detrimental to the property owners throughout the
whole area, and that if Mr. Dinius were a local resident, he would realize this.
He stated that the City had spent $35,000 of the taxpayers' money for a Master
Plan; why aren't they using this for the guide to development? He stated that
he does not feel it is very likely that an electronics plant would come into
this area because it is an out-of-the-way location. Furthermore, to connect
a 50' street to Tamarack, which will be widened to 80'~would certainly create
a traffic hazard; there is enough traffic now, without making an M zone to
create more. This would be a serious hazard to children walking on Tamarack
to and from school.
DR. W. I. GULLETT, 250 Tamarack, stated that creating a manufacturing area
right next to a school could lead to a situation like New York has, with the
school surrounded by industrial establishments, and he does not believe that
children should go to school in an area like this. He stated that he feels
the number of signatures on the petitions of protest speak more eloquently
than anything that could be said.
MR. WILLIAM HUNTIMER, 371 Redwood,.sfated that if the reclassification becomes
effective, they have no way of knowing what will go in there. He said that
there are children walking on that street all day long and the traffic created
would be a danger to them.
MR. C. T. POWELL, 330 Redwood, said that he felt that the type of residences
that would go in the buffer zone between the M zone and the school are the
type we are trying to protect our children from. Furthermore, how can school
be conducted with all the noise of industry right next to it?
MRS. RICHARD JOHNSON, 260 Tamarack, stated that when they bought their home
3 years ago, they were told that Tamarack was going to be widened and sidewalks
installed; they are still waiting for this to take place. However, even if
-8-
this is accomplished, children still ride their bikes in the street. There
have been a lot of animals killed on this street already, and with more traffic
it could create tragedy.
MRS. WILLIAM HUNTIMER, 371 Redwood, said that it was her opinion that if
manufacturing went in, they would have to put in more railroad tracks.
MR. JACK HUGHES, 290 Redwood, stated that it appeared to him that there is
only one man in favor of the reclassification.
ms, PAULINE POWELL, 330 Redwood, said she would be in favor of something such
as a stationery store being established there, but not manufacturing right
next to the school.
MR. C. T. POWELL asked how closely the Master Plan is being followed. Why
aren't we following it?
MR. D, R. DINIUS, stated that there could certainly be no dispute with people
worried about the traffic on Tamarack being a danger to the children. However,
there is a plan to widen Tamarack, making it a main thoroughfare, so whether
or not this property is developed, there will be heavy traffic on Tamarack,
At this point in the hearing, the Commission took time out to study the new
plan submitted by Mr. Koyl, and also the alternate plan submitted by Mr. Coe.
Chairman Stringer directed a question to Mr. Koyl, stating that the petitions
which had been circulated in his favor stated that those signing it were
against any extension of Tyler Street, and yet this new plan showed a street
in this general area. The Chairman asked Mr, Koyl if he would go along with
a 1911 Act to open up this street,
MR. ARCHIE KOYL stated that he would not go along with a 1911 Act, as it would
cost 35% more to put in a street under it. He said that if Mr. Dinius owns
60% of the area, then let him pay for putting in the street across his own
properties and he will pay for a street across his property when he puts it in.
Commissioner Jarvie stated that they had continued the hearing to this date in
order to have something to work with, and the Cmission had hoped that those
involved would agree on a compromise plan. He asked Mr. Dinius what he thought
of this new plan which Mr. Koyl had presented.
MR. DINIUS strated that this was the first he knew of the plan and that he would
not trust any plan which Mr. Koyl might have because Mr. Koyl had stated at
the time his application was before the Commission that he had no objection
to M zoning on part of his parcels nor to a street, Then, after Mr. Koyl's
application was turned down, he suddenly began to object to everything-
The public hearing was closed at 10:SO P.M.
Chairman Stringer asked the Secretary to clarify the point of just what could
go in the area if it were zoned R-3. The Secretary stated that the Zoning
Ordinance provides for the building of as many structures in an R-3 zone as
are desired, as long as they do not cover over 60% of the total lot area,
and provided 1200 sq, ft. are allowed per dwelling unit.
Commissioner Jarvie stated that he wanted to repeat his statement which he
made at the last hearing on this matter, that he believes the public. voice is
a safety factor in making any decision.
-9-
Commissioner Zahler stated that several months ago Mr. Koyl had been asked
for a map showing sidewalks, curbs, gutters and other improvements to accom-
pany his application for R-3 zoning. However, they had never seen such a
plan showing improvements.
Mr. Koyl said that he had presented such a pian at the very first hearing on
the reclassification of this property. The plan was drawn up by Mr. Don
Holly, using the Master Plan of the City as a guide. However, he had been
immediately cut off on this plan by a proposal to re-zone 200 feet of his
property adjacent to the railroad to M zone.
The Secretary stated that this plan, drawn up by Mr. Don Holly, had been before
the Commission at the time Mr. Koyl's application was considered. The Secre-
tary also pointed out that such a plan should have nothing to do with the
rezoning of an area; the rezoning of an area and the subdivision of an area
are two separate and distinct matters. There is no provision to assure the
Cammission or anyone else that such a map will be carried out. The rezoning
should be considered on the basis of what zone the property is best suited for,
not on the basis of a subdivision map,
A period of considerable discussion followed on this matter, after which
Commissioner Zahler moved, seconded by Cornmissioner Thomas, that Resolution
No. 162 be adopted denying the request of D. R. Dinius for reclassification
from Zone R-1 and Zone R-P to Zone M, in view of the overwhelming opposition.
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners Zahler, Ward, Thomas, Miller & Jarvie.
NOES: Chairman Stringer.
ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
Resolution No. 162 adopted.
A motion was then made by Commissioner Zahler and seconded by Cmissioner
Thomas to adopt Resolution No. 163, denying the Planning Commission's Resolu-
tion of Intention No. 15 due to the overwhelming opposition.
AYES: Commissioners Zahler, Ward, Thomas, Miller & Jarvie.
NOES: Chairman Stringer,
ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
Resolution No. 163 adopted.
TENTATIVE SUBDNIS ION MAP OF LAGUNA TERRACE
The Secretary submitted the tentative subdivision map of Laguna Terrace to the
Commission for their review and presented proposed Resolution No. 159 incor-
porating the recommendations of the various departments and agencies as con-
ditions for recommending its approval. The Secretary then certified to the
mailing of notices to. adjoining property owners.
MRS. STEEN W. SALSEN, 789 - 28th Street, Sari Pedro, stated that she was con-
cerned about the drainage of the subdivision, and asked if provisions were
being made to take care of it.
The Secretary explained to Mrs. Salsen that the Engineering Department
had recommended that one of the conditions for approval of the tentative
map be that provisions for drainage be approved by the City Engineer.
Another point which was discussed was the fact that the subdivider shows
one of the streets crossing lands not. owned by him, The recommendation of
the Engineering Department on this point was that one of the conditions for
approval of the tentative map be that an arrangement be made between the
subdivider and the owner of this property for allowing the street to cross it.
It was moved by Connnissioner Jarvie and seconded by Conmissioner Ward that
Resolution No. 159 be adopted recommending to the City Council the approval
of the tentative map of Laguna Terrace Subdivision.
The Chairman asked for a roll call vote:
AYES: Chairman Stringer, Commissioners Zahler, Ward, Thomas, Miller &
NOES: None.
ABSENT: Commissioner Netka.
