Staff stated that sidewalks will be put in as fulnds bo.come available. Sidewalks could not be required o, the Post Office on Camelback Street because the City does not have control over a senior governmen- tal agency.

Mr. Rome and Mr. Eisenshtat pointed out that provision for loading and unloading passengers hid been made in the design of the project. A sug- gestion was made that sidewalk be installed bet een the most easterly and westerly driveway locationls • and the easterly and westerly property lines, with the balance of the site using the proposed interior pedestrian circulation system. Mr. Rome said that would be acceptable if no other sidewalk was required. 3) In answer to a Commissioner's question about the cost of putting in sidewalk, staff answered: tFiat the cost would be little more than it would be to landscape and irrigate the area. Mr. Rome s id tAat they planned to leave the land on Jamboree Road in its natural state, so no landscaping wo ld be necessary on that street. Staff stated that; uitimately Jamboree Road would be widened and there will be curb, gutter and sidewalk on the east side of Jamboree Road. 4 A question from a member of the Planning Com- mission concerned the need for an 8 foot sidewallk adjacent to the curb. Staff stated that 8 foot' seemed advisable to accomodate the pedestrian trlIaffic, and having it adjacent to the curb would avoid having people walk through a planted area. Mi.
