that the sale of diesel should be prohibited as this will attract trucks from the freeway and become a truck stop. He stated that Councilmembers were concerned about noise to residents of Vintage Hills in a previous item that restricted hours of construction; he felt the residents of Pleasanton Meadows should have the same consideration. He stated there will be severe noise from the proposed service station. He asked Council to reconsider these restrictions. Mr. James Miller, Camelot Court, stated Council has made reference to McDonald's being a mistake at their location; he urged them not to make the same mistake with the approval of the proposed service station. He stated the convenience store and station will attract many people other than Pleasanton Meadow residents and will create noise, pollution, and adverse lighting conditions. He felt the convenience store and service station bad for that intersection. Ms. Cheryl Short, 3853 Fairlands, stated that a car wash has already been approved on Pimlico Drive; she did not see the need for another car wash at this location. Mr. Stu McKinley, Camelot Court, stated the residents of Pleasanton Meadows do not need a gas station at this intersec- tion. He requested Council to reconsider the project and its impact on the entrance to the community. Mr. Pat DeSantis, 3568 Chippendale Court, stated that service stations tend to attract undesirables, and there is an increase in crime. He stated that a gas station does not long in a re- sidential area, and should not be located on such a busy corner. Mr. Robert Fairman again stated there will be a greater traf- fic problem at this intersection if the service station is al- lowed. He stated he supports something going in but it should be a facility that would work out for everyone's benefit. Mr. Carl Cox stated that Council restricted the hours of operation from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and that he needs the sale of diesel to make the project viable. He stated that it is illegal for trucks to use Santa Rita Road, therefore there should not be any problem with the station becoming a truck stop. Councilmember Wilson stated Councilmember Mohr objected to the mini-mart associated with the proposed service station. He advised that he and Councilmembr Brandes met with the developer as well as residents to find an agreeable solution to the mini- mart; as a result the developer agreed to eliminate the mini-mart and add a 720 sq. ft. snack bar. The developer also agreed to start construction of the retail building before operation of the service station. The rear wall of the building is 28 feet high and will act as a buffer to relieve noise. Councilmember Butler stated he felt in the discussion with some of the neighbors he got the strong feeling that the major concern was with the convenience market and the sale of alcohol. - 12 - 1-19-88
