-7- 1 Mr. Peterson told Commissioner Bowerman the plans now are to keep the store open 2 until 11 on Sunday night, 12 Monday through Thursday, and .1 :00 A.M. on Friday and 3 Saturday nights, although he is "not convinced those later hours are really 4 cost- effective" . 5 6 Mr. Peterson indicated that when he had first negotiated his lease, the company 7 had considered subleasing the less than ha.lf of 66 foot X 33 foot building they 8 might not need for their own business, but since then had determined that with 9 nine stores eventually, there was a need for conference/training space for 10 which the remainder of the building could be used as indicated on the floor 11 plan in the Commission agenda. The franchise owner also indicated he had not 12 realized how much the site would be affected by the reconstruction of County 13 Road D, but had concluded that with the type of operation he would be running, 14 what was left should be sufficient, especially since the landlord had assured 15 him that any spillover could be .parked on the Autotraac property. 16 17 Gene Crowley, the owner of Autotraac, was present to let the Commissioners know 18 he perceived Mr. Peterson would be able to establish a successful business in 19 that location unlike the previous three tenants and he urged the City to grant 20 the necessary permit. Mr. Crowley also said he would be willing to do anything 21 he could to prevent traffic congestion on the site. 22 23 No one else appeared to speak either for or against the permit and the hearing 24 -was closed at 8:47 P.M. for Commission discussion. 25 26 Commissioner Madden commented that he perceived one of the signs a community is • 27 going down hill is to have empty store fronts and he perceived the proposed 28 business had a good chance to succeed in that location. 29 30 There was a brief discussion of how this business could be categorized when it 31 came to parking requirements. The consensus was that the proposed nine spaces 32 would be sufficient for a "general service" operation or even the seating require- 33 ment for a restaurant.

No calls either for or against the permit had been receiv6d .by staff and no 43 objections to the proposal were raised during the Commission's hearing; 44 45 2. The proposed use would fill an empty store front which is perceived to be a i 46 detriment to the City;. 47 48 3. The owner has indicated there would be no seating for customers provided in 49 the store which could result in parking congestion around the site; and 50 51 4. The three conditions required by statute to be satisfied before a conditional j • 52 use permit can be authorized have been perceived to have been done so with 53 this proposal . 54 55 Before the vote on the motion was taken, the applicant was asked about the sign- 56 age he planned for the building . Mr. Peterson said it appeared the sign he would
