Outsized Building
:
Area 3 and others expressed a concern about outsized building that uses a lack of proper zoning codes in "doughnut hole" areas which do not have hillside or coastal zoning limitations, and end up with out-of-scale residential development. LUC is considering action.

Street
Services:
Area 4 and others expressed concerns about sidewalk repair and street services. The President said she’d start email communication to see who can address the issues. Karen Ridgley also said Area 4 was in need of side walk clean up. The President said that according to CD 11 Deputy report some side walk clean up was being done in the Palisades, so it is possible. She would try to get someone to give us answers. Chris Spitz said shed refer the matter to WRAC Trans committee.
