APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the February meeting were approved as mailed. CORRESPONDENCE -A letter was received from the Peninsula Celebration Association inviting the Commission to participate in the 4th of July Parade. This item will be scheduled on the April agenda for further discussion. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Terry Anderlini advised the Commissioners that upon further research, it was determined that there are no CCR's preventing the establishment of a dog park in Redwood Shores. He noted that a dog park would still require the approval of the Red wood Shores Construction Committee. He announced that the Shores Dogs group has a following of 250 people and they will be making a presentation to the City Council on April 14. Mr. Anderlini mentioned there is a piece of City owned property on Marine World Parkway which is currently designated as park land and which could be used for a potential dog park. The property is 3.9 acres in size but he felt that only one acre of the property would be needed for the dog park. He said the City ordinance prohibiting dogs in parks is an obstacle and would need to be modified for this project. Mr. Anderlini discussed the fact that this piece of property might be sold in the future and urged the Commissioners not to allow this property to be sold. The Commissioners asked staff to prepare a report regarding this property and the pros and cons of using it as a dog park.
