Commissioner Allen stated that she is just not comfortable with that because that puts the burden on the neighbors to live with any issues that could arise. She noted that the applicant agreed with the hours of operation, but she would rather the Commission went cautiously on the alcohol sale and come back in six months. Commissioner Balch stated for clarification purposes, he would like to take a straw poll on the three items the Commissioner Allen brought up: the alcohol sale, the hours of operation, and the car wash hours, which the Commissioners agreed would be up to 9:00 p.m. during standard time and up to 10:00 p.m. during daylight saving time. Chair O'Connor said yes and added that the applicant is willing to do that. Commissioner Balch asked Commissioner Allen if the Commission has addressed her concern regarding the hours of operation from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight versus from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Commissioner Allen replied that she is willing to bend on that one if the Commission can support her proposal on the alcohol sale. She stated that the alcohol sale is a show stopper for her. Chair O'Connor asked Commissioner Allen to clarify that she is willing to have the standard operation go from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. if the alcohol sale is reduced to 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Allen said yes. Commissioner Balch stated that the focus now is on the alcohol issue, and he is not sure he agrees that this, compared to the Ray and First Streets case, is a valid comparison mostly because of the surrounding commercial uses here. Chair O'Connor added that it is also not a six-lane boulevard. Commissioner Balch agreed that it is a smaller street. He asked if the Commission could leave it in the purview of the Director of Community Development to evaluate this matter. Mr. Dolan stated that he has a number of comments on the current band of discussion. He indicated that he believes giving the applicant something and then pulling it back is harder than going the other way. He continued that that being said, he understands why the Commission wants to do it; however, the whole idea of review is not a subsequent review down the road, and it is not something he is a big fan of. He added that he can see that becoming what will be done with every application from now on and administratively, that just does not work. He stated that the Commission cannot be revisiting items that it has already labored over. He indicated that he appreciates the Commission's interaction in trying to get something everyone can support; there is some value to it, but if the Commission cannot get there, but it would be cleaner to just PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 27, 2014 Page 31 of 44
