Dan Chen continued Mr. Hu's presentation and discussed the substantial maintenance of the
<br /> church parking lot in regard to seal coating, striping and other associated repairs and cost
<br /> which is increased due to use from other vehicles. He thinks the project is too much of an
<br /> impact to neighbors and many things addressed here are included in their letter to the
<br /> Commission.
<br /> Ed Broome, Pleasanton, agreed this is a great project, said he has a retail background and
<br /> thinks the home plate design adds a feature to the gateway of the City in the area that cannot
<br /> be matched with a typical rectangular building. He did not see any other way the lot can be laid
<br /> out to serve a practical purpose, did not feel that eliminating the loading zone to the south of
<br /> the property was any benefit in any way and to have the pocket there for smaller trucks
<br /> removes any chance of blocking circulation for customers. He compared this location to the
<br /> Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard site and said they do not have the merge
<br /> lane which is the cause of many people not knowing what to do. He thinks this will create a
<br /> bottleneck for those exiting the driveway and he did not think it solved anything by shortening
<br /> the driveway opening.
<br /> T.C. Sun, Church President since 2002, voiced concern about the existing habitual problem of
<br /> those parking on the church lot as opposed to parking in the gas station parking lot. He asked
<br /> that a real barrier be created to change this behavior to stop people from parking on the church
<br /> property.
<br /> Mr. Hirst was given the opportunity for a rebuttal, in which he thanked the church for pointing
<br /> out problems that existed long before the church was there and they agree there is a delivery
<br /> truck problem, which they have been working to find a solution that hasn't been easy. They
<br /> want parking in their proposed location in order for the 24-foot trucks to park. They agreed to a
<br /> setback and landscaping coming all the way to the street, but were not agreeable to a fence.
<br /> He said people who worship in the church do park and walk through the area and they will
<br /> continue to do this unless they cannot any longer. Police, post office, Amazon and FedEx
<br /> vehicles park there, as well. He said wider driveways are not an exception in the City of
<br /> Pleasanton. The driveway at the Chevron station on Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue is
<br /> 39 feet, six inches and the driveway on Valley Avenue is 42 feet; the 42-foot wide driveway is
<br /> 35 feet from another 35-foot driveway, and they are providing more parking.
<br /> Ms. lreifej continued Mr. Hirst's rebuttal and stated once this becomes one parcel, it will be
<br /> different. It currently looks like two businesses, so people park there because it is convenient.
<br /> With the building also being a triangular shape, it will be prevent people from coming over. She
<br /> was against a wall which she feels will create an alley and unsafe conditions.
<br /> Mr. Schafer continued the rebuttal and pointed to the bio-retention area, stating it will be
<br /> concaved. This will not promote people walking down through it to and from the church site or
<br /> vice versa. They are in agreement with the architecture of the car wash and placing more
<br /> trellises on there and the nice trash enclosures.
<br /> Mr. Hirst finished by pointing out the other areas where 18-wheel trucks will park and said he
<br /> has seen where they park. They want to get them out of there and they placed "No 7-Eleven
<br /> Parking" signs in these areas, trying to promote people to park elsewhere. They are doing
<br /> everything they can to get them off the church property.

<br />pyard Road 7-Eleven store is
<br /> very different and he presented pictures of other convenience stores showing reasonable
<br /> access, and asked that the Commission consider safety, noting their primary concern is the
<br /> lack of parking spaces on the site.
