In response to Chairman Lutz, Mr. Iserson advised that if this were a permanent facility, the applicant would be required to install paving and oil separators. He further noted that staff is willing to allow a "status quo" situation for the next few years before a determination of a permanent solution is made. In response to Commissioner Hovingh, Mr. Beougher noted that the intent of Condition 5 gives the City the right to on-site inspection. Otherwise, the City would need to get an inspection warrant before entering the property. Mr. Iserson concurred that the applicant should be made responsible that no leaking vehicles are stored on the site. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Eric Lauritsen, 2512 Vineyard Avenue, described that his company is a distribution point for all garbage trucks sold in Northern California. They perform all in-service work before delivering the trucks. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Hovingh commented that he would like to add that leaking vehicles are strictly prohibited and any clean-up costs should be borne by the applicant. Commissioner Wright does not agree with this addition, noting that there has been no contamination found in the past through City inspections. Discussion ensued regarding the topic of vehicle leakage. Mr. Beougher advised that the City does not police these sites and act only on filed complaints. If a complaint is received regarding a leakage problem, Condition 5 allows staff to inspect the site. Commissioner Hovingh motioned, seconded by Commissioner Wright, making the conditional use permit findings and approving Case UP-95-66, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B, with the following modification: Condition 5: Add: More than incidental leakage from stored vehicles or containers is strictly prohibited.
