Secretary Hale presented the staff report. Proponents: Paul M. Hopf, representing Blumenfeld Enterprises 7316 Mission Street Daly City, CA 94014 Mr. Blumenfeld, Blumenfeld Enterprises 1521 Sutter Street San Francisco, CA 94109 Opponent: Joe Mitchell 849 Kipling Avenue So. San Francisco, CA Mr. Hopf noted to the Commission that California State Law states that in order to revoke a use permit there must be a showing of necessity for the public interest. He felt that all conditions had been met, with the excep- tion of some pailting, the speed bumps, and debris and weeds on the slopes. These would be completed within 30 days. Mr. Mitchell expressed several concerns to the Commission. He mentioned the existence of a large metal slide on the north slope which had been there for several years and the fact that several large boards, previously a retaining wall, were left lying on the north slopes visible from 280 and Junipero Serra Blvd. He also noted that the drainage ditches were buried under four to five feet of dirt which had fallen from the north slopes. Mr. Mitchell also noted that, since the building of the second screen, the speakers are not turned off and can be heard inside of his house with the windows closed. Mr. Hopf and Mr. Blumenfeld agreed to set up an appointment with Mr. Mitchell to try to find the source of the sound and correct the situation. In response to Mr. Mitchell IS concern over the large metal slide, Mr. Hopf noted that this was not a metal slide, but was a large sloping concrete slab which was put in to help prevent further erosion of the north slope. Mr. Hopf agreed to make a personal inspection of the area in question and clean up any debris that was a direct result of the drive-in use. Mr. Hopf questioned the Commission as to who was responsible for the drainage ditches and the slopes since part of them was not owned by Blumenfeld. Mr. Cos tanzo answered tha tit was B 1 umenfe 1 d I S respBhs'i bi 1 i ty since the slopes were created by and for the drive-in. The Commission requested to know exactly when each of the conditions would be met. Mr. Hopf said that Conditions 2, 3, 4, and 9 would be completed within 30 days Condition 5 would be reviewed and inspected, but all debris 3399 - May 13, 1975 UP-273, Cont'd will be removed. Condition 8 would be reviewed between Blumenfeld and staff. Condition 7 had been completed, except where trees existed, as well as Condition 13. The Commission questioned the painting job which had been done to the blackened letters of the screening tower, which resulted in a patched appearance. Mr. Blumenfeld agreed to repaint the entire sign in one shade of black. The Commission desired to set up a field trip to the El Rancho Drive-In Theater and this field trip was set up for June 17 at 6:30 p.m. The hearing was closed and Vice-Chairman Hale moved that the matter be continued until the June 24 Planning Commission meeting to allow Blumen- feld Enterprises time to comply with the above conditions.

As soon as was possible, he would like to come back before the Commission and get approval on his Use Permit.
