Dear Mr. Tong:
This will confirm our meeting of October 22, 1985 in your
office regarding the Great Western conditional use application for
a controlled parking lot in connection with its new office building
at Dublin Boulevard and Golden Gate .Drive. . At that meeting, we
discussed the possibility of Great Western submitting an alternative
plan and some proposed conditions which would satisfy your concerns
with the proposed. parking lot operation. In order to prepare this
material and in order for you and your department to have sufficient
time to review it, we request that the appeal hearing, which is
currently scheduled for the evening of November 12 , 1985 , be cont-
inued until December 9 , 1985 .
Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. We
look forward to working with you to resolve this issue to our mutual
satisfaction.
Sincerely,
Maria C. Pracher

FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: On September 3, 1985, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the Great Western Savings
application to use a gated, attendant controlled parking lot for
the office project being constructed at Dublin Boulevard and
Golden Gate Drive . The Great Western Savings office building
will have approximately 67, 550 square feet of space in a 3 story
structure on an approximately 3 . 1+ acre site. The parking lot
will have 230 spaces .
The Planning Commission, on a 3 to 1 vote, denied the application
because of :
1 . Potential traffic back up on Golden Gate Drive from
cars waiting to get past the attendant booth and gate.
2 . Restricted access to required parking would conflict
with the Zoning Ordinance requirement that the parking
spaces be continuously accessible to any and all
visitors to the site .
3 . Potential shift of project-related parking onto the
public . street (Golden Gate Drive) created by the
restricted access to the off-street parking spaces .
On September 12 , 1985, Mr. Gilbert R. Reyes, Construction Manager
for Great Western Savings , appealed the Planning Commission
action.
On October 7, 1985, Ms . Maria Pracher, legal representative for
Great Western Savings, requested that the item be continued for
one month to allow her to review the situation.
Staff recommends that the City Council continue the item until
the November 12, 1985, City Council meeting. _
