Councilman Dalla inquired if we were asking her to do anything we did not require anyone else to do. Planning Director Post replied "No." Councilman Waters said she went through this eight months ago and she did not feel she should have to go through it again. Councilman Dalla said the license goes with the address; whether you move next door or across town, the license has the address on it. 1 I Councilman Dalla spoke of the landscaping on 1-805, saying it was a long time i before it was installed; now it appears they have installed it in sections; it is not up to standard of the landscaping on other portions of the freeway.
