Dear Mr. Tong:
This letter will confirm that, based on your representations

a modified controlled parking plan for the Great Western office

Conditional Use application as soon as possible for your consider-
ation. Please send me a blank Conditional Use application.
Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter
and we look forward to resolving this issue with you in the
future.

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. _
