Next, a Jerry Suda of San Leandro, spoke requesting favorable consideration of this application. Mr. Chris Beratlis, owner of the adjacent property, then related his attempts to resolve the mutual easement problems, to no avail. He stated he had no quarrel with the tenants of the building but that he needed a solution to the parking situation, particularly the blocking of the driveway by the new owners. A Mr. Doug Paul of San Ramon expressed some concern regarding traffic con- gestion at the location. Gary Barber, 286 McCloud Street, Livermore, one of the owners of the building, spoke. He stated that the building has been vacant for seven-eight months, that original plans called for a mall of 14-15 stores. But they decided the best arrangement would be to have lesser number of tenants. Now, they have two tenants toward the front of the building, with the dance studio planned for the rear. He also gave a brief description of the arragnements he has for his tenants for use of the parking lot. He conceded that there may be some inconvenience to the print shop on Mr. Beratlis's property whenever the furniture store receives a shipment, but he did not feel that the problem could not be settled. He indicated complete willingness to sit down with Mr.Beratlis to work out this situation. Commissioner Shepherd asked whether access to the studio could be provided from D4ain Street entrance, and Mr. Barber replied that this would not be feasible. Secretary Harris indicated some problems with finaling of the building before occupancy could occur, that there are some illegal occupancies because of this. Also, there is an illegal sign on the front of the building. Next, Rick Corbette, 2498 Mary Place, Livermore, one of the owners of the building, spoke. He stated that there is a $600 bond on the property to cover uncompleted work, however, they have not received contact from the City advising them of what exactly needs to be done. They are well aware of their obligations to the City. He indicated that he had worked out a "gentlemens agreement" with Mr. Beratlis in December, and would be willing to sit down again to work out their problems. The Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Doherty felt a mutual agreement should be worked out between the two property owners, with said agreement to be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney's office. Considerable discussion ensued regarding how the matter could be settled. It was finally agreed that the conditional use permit could be granted for the dance studio subject to the two conditions in the staff report. Secretary Harris stated that a bond could be accepted for the uncompleted work in order not to hold up the applicant any longer than necessary. Resolution 1520 was entered and adopted approving the conditional use permit for the dance studio, subject to the conditions in the staff report, one of which would be that the easement agreement be worked out as expeditiously as possible. -4- _...._ _ ._..._._.._.._ _ . __......,.t_a._... _ .. _... ..._.._ ... _....,
