~ Commissioner Hovingh called attention to Condition 4 in regard to minor repairs and maintenance of cabs, and possible noise of impact wrenches, etc. He asked the applicant if he would agree that the back door of the building should be closed to reduce noise to the neighbors. Mr. Ghorbani said he had no problem with that; however, he pointed out that other nearby businesses use impact wrenches in their work. He felt the neighbors' biggest problem was the color of the cabs. He said he has also instructed his drivers not to use someone else's parking spaces. In regard to interference of radio transmissions, Mr. Ghorbani said they have never had a complaint before; he is licensed by the FCC. His radio is 15 watts, low voltage and operates much like a cellular phone. Chairman Mahern asked if the applicant washes cars on the premises. The applicant said they do so only occasionally. Normally the cabs are run through a car wash as they get free coupons for gas fillups. Commissioner Michelotti asked how many cabs they have. Mr. Ghorbani indicated they have 8 operable cabs, 12 in reserve. Mr. Swift called attention to Condition 8 that says no cabs may be parked on the public street. Commissioner McGuirk asked the applicant if the cabs inside the building are ~ operable. Mr. Ghorbani said those inside are not licensed; he buys these cars from auctions. Commissioner McGuirk said it seems the applicant is short about six parking spaces. Commissioner Horan asked the applicant if he has considered allowing his employees to take the cabs home with them. Mr. Ghorbani said he has tried this but it does not work well and creates other problems related to insurance liability. Commissioner Horan suggested that the applicant find storage space for those cars presently inoperable inside the building so that those on the street could be parked inside. Mr. Ghorbani said he has tried to find additional space; however, it proves to be very expensive and he needs to keep his costs down. He felt he would have to get rid of extra cabs unless he could find a larger building. Harold Clanker, 7885 Briarland, Dublin, said that he has visited with the applicant in order to help him work out the situation. He said the parking situation is not good in the area. Commissioner Michelotti asked Mr. Clanker if the applicant is using his parking spaces. Mr. Clanker said that everybody else has only four parking spaces and that Mr. Ghorbani uses six. He felt the applicant is using more than his share. Mr. Clanker said the only problem with him is the lack of parking space; there is no noise problem associated with the cab company. ~ MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 10, 1991 Page 6 II . I ; .
