Mr. Brondolo and Mr. Struthers then returned to the meeting with the letter composed by Mr. Brondolo, and the Commission resumed the hearing on Mr. Brondolo's application. Secretary Fales read the letter to the Commis- sion, as follows: "Dear Sir: In connection with my appllcation for a Variance to your Zoning Ordinance X309, for a fruit stand in Annex #19, on my property on the west side of Sunol Road, I do hereby agree as follows: I consent to a grant of a two year variance, in consideration of the Planning Commission, not inquiring into whether or not my existing building is legal under Alameda County zoning and building ordinances. I understand that at the end of two years, I must either obtain a new variance or remove said building, according to the zoning and building ordinances of Pleasanton then in effect. Sincerely, ~s~ EMII,IO BROI~IDOLO" On motion of Commissioner Antonini, seconded by Commissioner Tendon, and unanimously approve, Mr. Brondolo's application for a Variance was accepted for review in two years. The next item on the agenda was a.referral from the Alameda County Planning Department for a proposed Elk's Lodge on Stanley Blvd. Mr. Falea gave the staff report, stating that the land in which the Elk's is interested is in the area of a big pit left by the Kaiser operation, and this would constitute a possible means of reclamation. It is also near a recreation facility end, though it is gust over the edge of a planned industrial area, it would seem to be the kind of land use which would ten to show the City's versatility and still remain compatible with the General Plan. Mr. Moore, representing the Elk's, spoke from the audience on behalf of the group and stated that they feel this is a particularly good location for them and suggested it might serve as a kind of "buffer strip" between residential, commercial and industrial develop- went in the City. Chairman Mitchell invited members of the audience, who wished, to give their opinion, however, no one spoke. On motion of Commissioner Landon, seconded by Commissioner Antonini, and unanimously approved, the Commission authorized the City Administrator to write to the County Planning Department stating that the Commission feels this land should be developed either by light industry or recreational facilities, a::d that the Elk's Lodge is good land use, in their opinion. In addition, the Commission feels it is compatible with the ad,~oining area.
