67 <br /> <br />traffic was provided for in Pleasanton's master traffic plan. The <br />parking lot would be sufficient space and she did not believe that <br />there would be any parking on the street. She pointed out that <br />there was no intention and that there would never be any alcohol <br />served from the facility. Ms. Clark explained that the reason why <br />the hours are late in the evenings was because the dancers are <br />mostly adults who work during the week. <br /> <br /> She indicated that she and her husband had been teaching for <br />the Park and Recreation Department for the past three years and <br />have had an over growth of participants. Their classes had been <br />held in the Veteran's Building as well as in a few elementary <br />schools and have had no complaints. She asked for Council's <br />support. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if this type of dancing was similar to square <br />dancing. She also asked if there would only be evening lessons, no <br />daytime lessons. <br /> <br /> Ms. Clark said that it was the same community spirit that you <br />find around square dancers but the dance is different in that a <br />partner is not needed for many of the dances. She described other <br />differences. She explained that they had been teaching mainly in <br />the evenings. She would like to do some lessons during the day and <br />on Saturday and possibly daytime lessons during the week if there <br />was a high demand. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked if she had considered other sites for this <br />type of use. <br /> <br /> Ms. Clark explained that the first building that they had <br />investigated was the vacant market on Main Street but the building <br />needed to be brought up to code and there was not adequate parking. <br />There were other commercial buildings available but the rents were <br />too high. They did not want to move the facility out of <br />Pleasanton. They felt that this proposed site was appropriate and <br />affordable. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler asked if the facility was too large for the group. <br />He then referred to Condition 11 and explained that it gives the <br />Planning Director the authority to ask for a rehearing if the <br />applicant failed to live up to conditions. He asked if Ms. Clark <br />had a problem with such condition. <br /> <br /> Ms. Clark answered no to both questions. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked what closing time she would prefer, 10:00 or <br />11:00 p.m. <br /> <br />9/ 5/92 <br /> <br /> <br />
