137 Mayor Brandes stated that Ordinance No. 1273 was introduced on September 2, 1986, by a vote of 5-Ayes, it was continued from the meeting of September 16, 1986, and it was now in order to adopt the ordinance. Tim Manning, 1078 Vintner Way, stated that the hours set forth in the or- dinance create a problem; students do not get home from school until 2:30 p.m. or later, which leaves them little time to skate. He requested the ordinance be changed to allow skating from 12 Noon to 5:00 p.m., and 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. Brian Hoyt, 546 Touriga Court, stated there have been complaints about the skateboard ramp on Sylvaner Court, but he felt this ordinance should not af- fect ramps without complaints. Keith Wayne, 387 Ewing, stated he spent approximately $900.00 on his skateboard ramp and planned to resurface it this year. He stated there have been no complaints from the neighbors in the last two months. He stated he felt this ordinance should go into effect but should not apply to all ramps. Mr. Ed Talavera, 726 Sylvaner Drive, stated the neighbors have suffered long enough from the noise of skateboard ramps. He stated Council has made a start in restricting the hours. He felt skateboard ramps should be eliminated from all back yards and put in public parks. He stated that insurance compa- nies are now talking about insuring this type of facility. He concluded by stating skateboard ramps create a bad environment in neighborhoods. Ms. Nahdo Selig, 690 Marsala Court, stated there have been complaints about the skateboard ramp on Ewing Drive within the last three weeks. She stated the Wayne's have not met conditions set forth in the ordinance. She urged Council to adopt Ordinance No. 1273, and to enforce its conditions. Mr. Jim Balsh, 14 Grey Eagle, stated he is in favor of the ordinance, from a police standpoint and as a father and citizen of the community. He stated the extended hours to 5:00 p.m. make sense. Councilmember Mohr stated the extra hour in the afternoon to allow skating does not seem unreasonable. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Mayor Brandes, that Ordinance No. 1273, relating to regulation of noise cre- ated by Skateboard Ramps, be adopted as presented. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mercer, and Mayor Brandes NOES: Councilmembers Mohr and Wood ABSENT: None RZ-86-8, Application of the City of Pleasanton to amend the Municipal Code relating to increasing the number of illuminated signs permitted for service station uses in the "C" (Commercial) District Mr. Swift presented his report (SR 86:417} dated October 7, 1986, regard- ing this matter.
