CityCouncil | 2017-07-18 | 22 | Stated establishing a different type of tenant will take time; putting a restaurant in the location would take up more parking spaces at night: Rich Krinks, Alameda. Stated Park Street has changed and the business does not belong at the location; the fact that the conditions were not met for the UP should result in revocation; urged Council to deny the Big O' Tires UP: Louie Montes. Stated that he was hired by the Garfinkle family to provide photographs of the parking conditions at different times over a two week period, three days a week, four times a day; he is available to answer questions: Al Wright, Alameda. Stated his business was told to look for another location; the business is not in compliance with the City's General Plan; it is unfair to Big Discount Tire Pros to allow Big O' Tires to set up shop in the location; Big Discount Tire Pros will have a franchisee running the shop and problems will continue: Guido Bertoli, Big Discount Tire Pros. Stated the location is not viable for the tire business; Big Discount Tire Pros has been looking for another location for years and has finally secured a site: Gary Voss, Big Discount Tire Pros. Stated the parking is atrocious; continuing UP is counterintuitive: Jason Tipsis, Alameda. Stated the location is not appropriate for a tire store; a major corporation should not be saying the UP is not clear so it is entitled to do what it wants: Alan Pryor, Alameda Progressives. Robert Lane, Attorney for Appellant, gave a presentation. The City Attorney stated now is the time for Council to ask questions, deliberate and make a decision. Mayor Spencer inquired who will be operating the store on a daily basis. Mr. O'Neill responded an experienced, existing franchisee will be operating the store. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Mr. O'Neill has a specific franchisee in mind. Mr. O'Neill responded in the affirmative; stated Big O' Tires would own the property and sublease it to the franchisee with very specific language about compliance with the UP. Mayor Spencer inquired what the operating hours would be. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council July 18, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-07-18.pdf |
