Monday city council meeting notes that have not run in the paper

This is from the Claremont City Council meeting Monday night ...

The council approved property maintenance recommendations for foreclosed vacant properties which included a change in the timeline a new property owner has to install new landscaping.

A new owner must install the landscaping within 30 days instead of the previous 180 days.

Also, councilmembers wanted a review on how the new changes were working and to be flexible toward people who made good faith efforts for their landscaping, Fryman said.
Councilmembers also sent back to city manager Jeff Parker direction on institutional parking code revisions.

"We are going to look at what was said and prepare an ordinance based on what we heard," said city planner Lisa Prasse. Comments from students, residents and faculty at the meeting discussed removing a city requirement that parking be located within 800 feet of new construction, possibly making all students affix stickers on their cars and changing definitions for what a student is depending on how often they attend the campus.

An appeal of an architectural commission's adoption of a plan approval for Claremont Commons located between 735 E. Foothill Blvd. and the San Bernardino County line was continued to the Nov. 25 council meeting.
