He stated his company <br />supports the Caroline application stating it is an energy conscious well <br />thought out development which would be an asset to the community. <br />Larry Osborne, Kottinger Drive, spoke in support of this application stating <br />that if you limit the hours of operation in this park you are limiting the <br />number of people who desire to come to Pleasanton. <br />Commissioner Getty stated that perhaps it could be handled by placement of a <br />particular type of business. <br />Larry Osborne reiterated that by limiting hours it discourages development <br />and purchase of land. <br />Bill Lenson, 3767 Brockton Court spoke stating that he would like to see noise- <br />making industries considered but did not want limitation of hours considered. <br />Bob Graham, 503 San Gabriel Court, (owner of Jewelers Gallery) spoke in <br />support of this application. <br />Bill Bench, Utility Vault, spoke for this application requesting light in- <br />dustrial next to his business.

He <br />stated that Jim Walker, Assistant City Manager put out a report stating there <br />are 178,000 gallons of sewage left. Mr. Pearson stated that Caroline's <br />project would use a substantial amount of this, leaving very little for <br />-9- <br />
