Minutes <br />Planning Commissioi <br />12/12/84 <br />Chairman Doherty asked that all persons who wished to speak in <br />favor of the project please step up to the microphone. <br />Commissioner Getty stated that the petition which was submitted <br />by the applicant had 100 signatures, however, the people are not <br />from Vintage Hills. <br />Audrey DeRotiff, Norton Way, lives directly behind the Vintage <br />Hills Shopping Center and is the President of Vineyard Villa <br />Homeowners Association felt the shopping center needed more <br />traffic and was in favor of the cocktail lounge. <br />Dave Elkins, 3839-C Vineyard Avenue represented Shadow Creek. <br />Their group would enjoy the convenience of a close and decent <br />cocktail lounge. He has known the applicants and manager for <br />quite a while and knows the quality of the establishment they <br />would be operating. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Elkins how many <br />homeowners he represented. Mr. Elkins indicated he represented <br />approximately 48 units. Commissioner Innes asked if Mr. Elkins <br />has talked to all of the residents. Mr. Elkins stated he has <br />talked to most of them. Two were against the proposal. <br />Chairman Doherty announced that all persons opposed to the <br />proposed use would be heard next. <br />Eric Swenson, Vintage Terrace Homeowners, stated that the area is <br />a young neighborhood and has many children ranging from tots to <br />teenagers. He felt that with children on skate boards and <br />bicycles and persons coming out of a cocktail lounge do not mix <br />and urged denial of the application. <br />Susan Glanville, 3069 Chardonnay, felt the use was inappropriate <br />because of its close proximity to an ice cream parlour and park <br />coming in right across the street. <br />Brian Hoyt, 546 Touriga Court, indicated the current persons <br />would probably operate the bar as stated but there is no <br />guarantee they will remain the owners. He sited cocktail lounges <br />in town which were very old and had many-many owners. He felt <br />the Vintage Hills area is a family oriented community and no <br />place for a cocktail lounge. <br />Chuck Muth, 3644 Vine, opposed a cocktail lounge in the shopping <br />center because of the proposed park across the street. <br />Terry O'Buel, Crellin Road, stated there is a problem in the area <br />now trying to retain the 25mph speed zone and poor response by <br />the Police Department, and didn't wish to see the situation <br />worsened by approval of a cocktail lounge <br />Howard Mendenhall, Vintner Way, asked why anyone would want to <br />introduce a use to the area which would require crow control. He <br />didn't feel the shopping center was an appropriate place for a <br />cocktail lounge. <br />- 3 - <br /> <br />
