volume and complexity. He stated that smart, dedicated people could make the <br />same mistakes in some of these cases and that is part of the City's challenge to find <br />out how to minimize this. He indicated that he would be happy to share his thoughts <br />on what it is he thinks staff could do, but the item could be agendized as well if the <br />Commission so desires. <br />Chair Blank noted that he would prefer to hear from Mr. Dolan first. <br />Commissioner Fox stated that she found out that when the old records were <br />converted from microfiche to laserfiche, some of the documents became completely <br />unreadable, making some laserfiche actually unsearchable because they are <br />unreadable. She noted that this has caused all sorts of problems in terms of not <br />being able to find records from even just ten years ago. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that there has been a whole package of permit streamlining, with a <br />group in town making recommendations to the City Manager. He noted that staff is <br />still reviewing these recommendations and would be vetted through this <br />Commission, particularly when they involve ordinance changes. He stated that it <br />would be within the Commission's purview to provide a feedback to slow down and <br />not speed up. <br />Chair Blank stated that he did not believe it was a question of slowing down or <br />speeding up but figuring out what process needs to be put in place to make sure that <br />there is no recidivism. Mr. Dolan agreed and noted that permit streamlining is all <br />about speed and that there are multiple interests that the City is trying to satisfy and <br />balance. <br />Commissioner Fox stated that said she feels that there are things that involve kids <br />and putting a certain number kids in buildings that we're not sure are up to fire or <br />building code standards. She added that if some things were done in error, they <br />should be reversed. She noted that paramount is the safety of the kids and the <br />people in this community. <br />House on Peters Avenue and Angela Street <br />Commissioner Narum stated that she is very happy that the house at the corner of <br />Peters Avenue and Angela Street has primer on it and thanked staff for following <br />through. <br />Automatic Residential Fire Sorinklers <br />Chair Blank advised that the first public hearing on the sprinkler ordinance is <br />scheduled for September 24th and thanked staff for bringing that forward. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 10, 2008 Page 32 of 33 <br />
