Mayor Tarver asked if the elimination of beer and wine would affect the operation of <br /> Chevron. <br /> <br /> Mr. McThewson said it would affect profitability. <br /> <br /> Bill LinGley, Chevron, 6000 Bollinger Canyon Road, said the sale of beer and wine in <br /> itself is not a major issue. However, because of the ancillary items that it supports there is a <br /> dramatic need for beer and wine in convenience stores. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if having Safeway nearby would affect the business. <br /> <br /> Mr. LinGley said no. He appreciated staff's support and efforts and reiterated the issues <br />that Chevron would like to work out with staff. He said he spoke with Sharon Hines who <br />misunderstood where the window was going. She thought it was a one way mirror looking out <br />into the cashier area. He said this could be worked out with staff as well as the trash <br />receptacles. He appreciated a review of this and hoped to get the project built before December. <br />He has a deadline of December 12 to remove the steel tanks from the ground. <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, appreciated the project, however he had some <br />reservations. He believed that the sale of alcoholic beverages at a gasoline station was not <br />appropriate. He asked, does the sale of alcoholic beverages in a gasoline station increase the <br />future of the children of Pleasanton. Also there are already three stores within one hundred feet <br />of each other that sell alcohol. He was really concerned about the sale of alcohol. He hoped <br />Council would support the project but remove the ability of the store to sell alcoholic beverages. <br /> <br /> Mr. McThewson understood the sale of beer and wine was an emotional issue. He read <br />a report that stated most DUI arrests were people that had been drinking at a bar. -He did not <br />think this would be a problem with the community and Chevron needs it to be able to help pay <br />for this major investment. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti complimented him on the design of the project and the right hand turn <br />lanes. <br /> <br /> There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if the approval of alcoholic beverages at service stations had been <br />approved previously and if so, where. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said the stations are mixed throughout the City. He said there is a list in the <br />Planning Commission staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if they needed the trash receptacles. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 31 08/18/98 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
