Board Member Allen would like the record to reflect the deletion of the recommendation on page 2,

rather than the indicated Rail Ranch.

seconded by Board Member Allen and voice vote reflected unanimous approval with the exception
of Board Members Mighell and Nielsen who were absent.
2. Old Business
With regard to the streetscape project, Development Processing Coordinator Noland updated the
Board as to the status of the Old Town improvements, noting that due to a merchant's desire to
address specified handicap access, curbing and landscaping improvements have been delayed on
West Main Street; relayed that due to the current road improvements on Rancho California Road,
the Old Town Project in that specified area has been delayed in order to synchronize the
construction of the improvements; and advised that the entrance arches have been completed.
With regard to signage in Old Town, Development Processing Coordinator Noland noted that Code
Enforcement is delaying addressing the signs in Old Town, in light of the affect of the construction
has had on the merchants. Assistant Planner Anders expressed concurrence with Board Member
Blair, duly noting the negative visual effects of the current signage, relaying that signage will be
addressed.
With regard to the appointing of an alternate Board Member, Development Processing Coordinator
