was concerned about other businesses using the area and the area being used for storage. He believed the batteries will emit toxic fumes into the backyards. Mr. Hatton believed that if the front decorative tiles were installed properly or other precautions taken, no damage would result from front deliveries. He urged Council to adopt the staff and Planning Commission recommendations. James Miller, 3633 Camelot Court, also questioned potential damage to the front tiles. He questioned where the empty pallets would be stored. He asked about the location of the air conditioning units. Mr. Miller did not believe the soundwail was high enough because the building has been altered to be a two story building constructed on a raised pad. Mr. Miller believed that Mr. Thomas has gotten away with a lot and Measure X has been cut to pieces. Lois Ertel, 3959 Fairlands Drive, objected to using the easement for deliveries. She was concerned about noise and cited the noise from the garbage trucks. Anny Manor, 3983 Fairlands Drive, also spoke against rear deliveries. John Becker, 3677 Camelot Court, objected to operations of California Burger, stating its back door is always open and the back area is used for storage including large vats of grease and empty bottles. He related his experience with electric handcarts and indicated they do make noise. In rebuttal, Mr. Levine stated that the neighbors will always have some noise to live with, whether in a commercial area or in a residential area. This applicant has done its best to remove the potential for a nuisance. It is clear the driveway has been used since it was built and until now there has been no complaint. Because a road was built strong enough to carry a City truck to its destination does not mean the owner of the land is not entitled to use it. If the City had wanted an exclusive easement it could have done that, but did not. With regard to the hours, there is already a limitation on deliveries for this project as part of Measure X. Mr. Trudeau can only pinpoint the day for deliveries, not the time of delivery. In order for a few neighbors not to have activity behind their homes, it appears Color Tile should design its project to suit Mr. Miller or a staff member. That idea is presumptuous, as is the idea that Mr. Trudeau, a professional, does not know how to lay tile. Mr. Levine indicated they are willing to work with the neighbors with the assistance of staff. Ms. Dennis inquired about the location of the air conditioning unit and was told it would be on the roof behind a parapet. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Mohr asked about the location of the garbage dumpsters and was told they are at the extreme eastern and western ends of the building and the garbage truck does not go behind the building. 11/15/94 -7-
