Corrmissioners Bertucelli and Hartin questi,oned Staff as to whether all legal steps had
been followed on this project.
The Director replied that, to the best of his Imowledge, all legal steps had been
followed. He also noted that there is a legal question whether the C.C.& H. I S are
still enforceable.

tive Man. Commissioner Getz made the point that, if the Tentative l\1an does not have
such notation, a note can be made on the Final Map. He also noted that it is not
required to hold a Dublic hearing on a Tentative Hap.

to approve a Final Map if it is in conformance with the approved Tentative Hap and

Staff Report presented.
For Applicant: Marty 'Wilson, 235 '^7est l\1acArthur, Suite 669, Oakland
The Commission expressed concern that the vehicle storage could 'hecome a problem to
the surrounding occupancies. It was noted that the use, if approved, should be sub-
ject to continuing review of the Planning CDmmission.
Hr. Wilson spoke to a concern of the Police Department regarding the security system.
He noted that the system in use was cannon throughout their comparable facilities and
that it had proven adequate; that an alarm, as recommended by the Police T!epartment,
would not add to the efficiency of the system.
Commissioner Campredon questioned the ten parking spaces - whether these were on
the property and whether this \vas adequate for the type of ooeration.

February 12, 1980
Mr. Wilson answered that the ten parking spaces were on the property 'and not on-
street; that the max~~m1 traffic was 15 cars per day; that the facility was open
fron 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ~Qth the customers caning and going during those hours
of operation; that the facility is not open on Saturday and Runday.

Report; Second-Campredon
Discussion: 1\'lr. Wilson noted theIWnk' s willinvness to waive any 8.rea of respon-
sibility of Police Department if their request for an alarm system was not made a
condition; that, in addition to their security system, two security guards 'would be
Employed to patrol the nremises. Sergeant Sullivan noted that this was a recommenda-
tion from their Department.
It was agreed that no alaml system would be installed. Sergeant Sullivan noted that,
if the security guards made regular checks, that 'would be satisfactory; however, that
did not answer to the vulnerability of the ceiling vents.
~1r. Wilson replied that, since they were self-insured, they were \villing to accept
this responsibility.
The motion was then modified to indicate that the memorandum fran the Police Depart-
ment be part of the requirements of the Permit 'with the exception of Section C-l
which would be a recommend~tion only.
The Hotion was then unanimously approved by the Ccumission.
