brokers that the 11 requested uses are the types of uses they foresee tenants applying for. . Also, they cannot foresee that there would be any nuisance problems with these II uses. William Stephens, 2793 Longspur Way, is across Longspur from the subject property, but is situated such that his home receives the light glare. He would not want to turn off all lighting in this area because of security concerns. He is in favor of keeping the gate hours as they are. Mr. Stephens noted that city ordinance allows a leaf blower to operate until 10:00 p.m., and this has not been addressed in these modifications. He wants to keep the noise level down and keep their property values up. Regarding the "authorized persOlmel," he questioned who would be the authorizing body, and does not believe the employees cleaning out the Popi Lounge would be considered "authorized personnel." He only wants security personnel to be allowed to control the gate. Chairman Lutz noted that Condition IB needed the restriction "and after 7:30 p.m." added. Elizabeth Stephens, 2793 Longspur Way, advised that their property values have been at risk to a great extent because disclosure laws require homeowners to disclose the shopping center problems. These issues are detrimental to them. . Erin Busby, 5725 Valley Ave., Director of La Petite Academy, is thankful that the neighbors are being accommodated. They have changed several of their operations to comply with neighbor complaints. They are concerned about the safety issues relating to the lack of lighting, and they've had several incidents of falling and twisted ankles. Ms. Busby is also concerned about when the lights will be turned back on in the morning. It is usually very dark at their 6:00 a.m. opening. Ms. Busby does not take issue of the gate closure hours, however, the children walking through the parking lot will be much noisier. She also is agreeable to the security personnel having the keys, however, they have failed to unlock the gate at the posted hours. Rev. Ron Hunt, 2790 Longspur Way, was supportive of the daycare business to get low-level lighting after the roof-mounted lights were turned off. He recapped the history of the center and whether Building 5 was office use only or mixed uses. He stated that living there has been "unbearable" at times. Rev. Hunt would like Building 5 be reverted to the original zoning of office use only as agreed upon by the center owner, staff and neighbors. Regarding the taillight standard and the landscaping, Rev. Hunt learned the mature bushes are only 2-3 feet tall and will take some years to be of any benefit from eliminating the parking lot lighting. He would ask that larger plants be installed. He does not wish to displace the existing business tenants, but would like future businesses be restricted to office use only. . Planning Commission Minutes Page 13 February 28, 1996
