Stepp for a conditional use permit which would allow swimming pool sales, supplies and/or services proposed to be located at 201 Spring Street. The property is zoned C-C (Central Commercial) District. Mr. Harris explained the staff report recommending approval of the application but eliminating that portion of it which deals with a contractor's storage yard inasmuch as the findings cannot be made to grant this portion of the application. The public hearing was opened. Larry Stepp, 4874 Woodthrush, the applicant, addressed the Commission. He stated he concurs with everything on the staff report but not with regard to storage of equipment. He stated he builds from 25-30 pools per year and there would be a like amount of trips made by his equip- ment so there would not be a traffic problem. He addressed the setbacks which allow his equipment to turn around within the site. He further stated his equipment would use I-680 to Sunol Boulevard and then go directly to the property. He stated he would not be travelling Main Street. He addressed the Deetz business and others ~tho go right through town. He stated his equipment leaves about 7:30 a.m. and doesn't return until 6:30-7:00 p.m. He further stated his equipment leaves and returns empty and, therefore, would weigh less than other equipment travelling the area. He also stated he wants to upgrade the property in appearance. He stated his equipment could only be seen from the second story roof next door and he doesn't consider this to be obtrusive. Commissioner Getty asked Mr. Stepp where the business is head- quartered at this time. Mr. Stepp stated his business is operated from School Street but that his equipment is stored on Scarlett Court in Dublin. He stated he has had many agencies looking for a location for him for a long time and this site is the best site for his type of business. He stated to purchase this property for a residence would be of little value. -9-
