It was Goodwill Industries' position that the trailer would not cause traffic problems to the four existing homes at the end of Vervais Avenue. Commissioner Wood acknowledged the integrity of the Board of Goodwill,Indus- tries, but stated that the original feeling of the Commission was to locate the center out by the transfer station site. Mr. Krause explained that their pattern is to locate their centers in shopping centers. Discussion ensued regarding possibility of locating the center elsewhere, such as Safeway shopping center. Secretary Harris felt that if this site would be considered, perhaps it should be under a conditional use permit. Staff would be quite concerned about keeping the dust down on the site. Would probably also condition the use to not allow any other uses on the site, such as car rentals, storage of vehicles awaiting repair, etc. Certain areas of the lot should be paved also. Chairman Butler stated that the Planning Commission would like to see Goodwill Industries establish a center in an appropriate area in town. They would consider a temporary use on the Vervais/Santa Rita Road lot. But could not speculate on what might be required of them. Next, a Mrs. Swyier spoke for Goodwill Industries. She did tour the City and first approached the shopping centers. She felt that Safeway Center would be inappropriate because of the layout of the parking, which would not allow for very much free space around the collection center. However, the Commission members still felt this location would be more appropriate. When Commissioner Shepherd suggested the vacant lots between Alpha Beta Center and the Safeway Center, Mrs. Swyier indicated it was not their policy to establish centers "off the beaten path", which would be more prone to becoming attractive nuisance problems. Some comment was also made to con- sider the Lucky Shopping Center as a possibility, or even some City property. It was decided that the Goodwill Industries representatives would scout further, and then if they decide to stay with the Vervais/Santa Rita Road lot, would apply for a conditional use permit. UP-77-7, Mark Lawrence Review of negative declaration for project to construct a skateboard park at 7100 Johnson Industrial Drive. Staff described the report, recommending approval. The Public Hearing was opened on the negative declaration review. Mr. Mark Lawrence indicated he had no comments. Commissioner Jamieson asked about drainage along the runs. Mr. Lawrence said there is about 20 ft. on the main runs and a drop of about four feet in the beginners area. There will be iron grates installed and a pump to eliminate the water. Commissioner Shepherd asked what the game room would consist of, and Mr. Lawrence replied there would be about 30 video machines, and 10 pinball machines. The game room would be adjacent to the pro shop. There will be a $1.00 per hour charge, and the cost of elbow and knee pads (mandatory for all skateboarders) would be $1/day. -2-
