The clerk reported a staff memorandum with the applicant's response and one more letter from an area resident. The Building Director (Burns) gave a presentation. The hearing ran from 8:04 to 8:17 p.m.: one person spoke by phone against the staff recommendation and two spoke in person in favor; there was no rebuttal. Bashirtash moved to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision; approved unanimously. (The motion text reads Tract Map 7600, apparently a typo for 7500.)
