Commissioner Lindsey asked about the 10:00 a.m. opening vs a noon opening. Mr. Hirst said things must be done in the business every day and this would give them an opportunity to also address other aspects of the business. Commissioner Lindsey said he has had an opportunity to visit two establishments; one in Danville and the other at Alcosta Mall. He said the one at Alcosta Mall is bad. Commissioner Lindsey asked how the applicant would control people hanging out and sitting in their cars. Mr. Hirst said they would start by asking them to leave and that if young people know what is expected they conduct themselves in such a manner. Commissioner Lindsey asked if Mr. Hirst intended to hire adult supervisors. Mr. Hirst said yes, one employee will be an off-duty policeman for two or three days the first two or three weeks. Commissioner Lindsey asked if Mr. Hirst would be willing to extend the employment of the off-duty policeman. Mr. Hirst said he would if needed. Mr. Hirst said he controls the inside by lease and persons not cooperating will be asked to leave. Commissioner Jamieson said he thought that areas within a shopping center are considered to be public instead of private and questions whether or not the applicant could ask them to leave at all. Commissioner Doherty addressed the number of parking spaces in common; and the parking spaces between Perry's Liquors and the Jack-In-The-Box and stated that young people in cars congregate there. He said he would like the Chief of Police to comment on this situation. Mr. Hirst said there is a loitering problem that exists today which has nothing to do with his proposed business. He said it starts at 2:30-3:00 in the afternoon and that he can't solve the problems that currently exist when he is not even in business. He said he has expressed his intention of cooperation with the neighbors. He further said one of the problems on the property is lack of illumination. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Hirst if he thinks he might have success in illuminating the area. Mr. Hirst stated that the message has been passed to the property owner who contracts to a lighting company. Commissioner Wilson asked Mr. Hirst to show him the area which he intends to light. Mr. Hirst responded and stated he intends to light the south side of the large building and one portion of the western side of the building facing the Burgess building. Commissioner Wilson said that Valley Plaza Shopping Center must have a condition in their P.U.D. approval regarding lights. He said he is surprised something hasn't been done about lack of lighting in the shopping center before this time. Mr. Harris said he has been unable to find any conditions regulating the lights. Chairperson Getty said she fails to understand why this matter has not been taken care of by the property owner. -16- _. _....._ _ .. _,._~_.--..__ _..._.~_ _.__._.. _.. _ _..__.._.__ ._____~.. _... .....,. r_. ..
