153 <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer asked Mr. Irby if he had discussed this matter with <br />Mr. Callahan and the City staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Irby replied that he just came up with the proposal and <br />has not had the opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Callahan or the <br />staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Scott Gridley, Pleasanton Lumber Company, 3878 Stanley <br />Boulevard, stated that the issue is moving too fast. He pointed <br />out that the impact of the construction on businesses would be <br />greater than just the day the business will be closed because <br />convenience is a major factor for any individual shopping anywhere. <br />He added that Alternative 1 would substantially cut into the <br />parking area, remove some parking and sign structure that were part <br />of the original improvements of the original property owner, and <br />come very close to the building structure, which would be a traffic <br />safety hazard. He suggested that Alternative 2 be modified to use <br />a similar bridge widening which would work out to everyone's <br />benefit. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked Mr. Gridley how many feet he is trying to get <br />from this. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gridley replied that an additional four to six feet would <br />preserve his fence and the second stall of his parking area. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr inquired if losing a parking space would affect his <br />compliance with the parking code. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gridley replied that his question to the Design Review <br />Board regarding the impact of the widening on his parking <br />requirements and the costs to be incurred to put in the required <br />additional parking spaces was not addressed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer referred the matter to staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift replied that moving the alignment a few feet is <br />possible but is not reccunmended by the Engineering Department <br />because it would impact the curvature of the road more than what is <br />shown in Alternative 2. He continued that prior to the time that <br />Mr. Gridley became the tenant of the lumberyard, the use permit was <br />granted with the understanding that the ultimate widening of <br />Stanley Boulevard would take the temporary parking lot placed in <br />front of the building and that the right-of-way was granted by that <br />project in conjunction with the use. <br /> <br /> - 15 - <br /> 12-11-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
