Item No. 7 (continued) In response to question, Planning Director Patterson said that he issued a use permit with certain conditions to allow parking of recreation vehicles on the property, stating it is common practice for the PG &E Company to allow such use where there are power line easements and that the Plan Review Committee, including representatives of the Fire Department, approved the plan. Mayor Claire declared the public hearing open at 8:27 p.m. Mario Biagi, 1556 Hudson Street, rpresenting the applicant, referred to previous Council approval to fill the remainder of the property, and install a pipeline and pump station (see RESOLUTION NO. 10419, 2/2/87). Mr. Biagi noted that the applicant's deed contains an exclusive right from PG &E to use the easement; that on December 15, 1987, BCDC confirmed by telephone that they do not have any jurisdiction; and that the matter is currently before the Corps. He urged approval of the proposed ordinance. Ralph Nobles, 3720 Country Club Drive, member of the Planning Commission, referred to his December 14, 1987 letter to the Planning Commission urging preservation of wetlands and opposing the proposed rezoning. Mr. Nobles suggested the applicant should be required to obtain an Army Corps permit before Council considers the matter and questioned the issuance by the Planning Director of the use permit for parking of recreational vehicles on a portion of the property. In response to question, Mr. Patterson said that the Army Corps regards itself as the final authority and requires Council action before the Corps will consider the matter. Mr. Schricker observed that the only question before the Council is rezoning of the subject property, noting that determinations relating to wetlands and fill must be made by the agencies which have jurisdiction to do so. Mayor Claire invited anyone else who wished to speak to do so. No one else wished to speak. M /S: Greenalch /Stangel to close the public hearing.
