provide a better appearance.
Mr. Tom Robinson, 16161 Azalea Way, Los Gatos, speaking for the applicant,
requested that the the application be corrected to correct the applicant is Coast
Oil Company and not Mission Trail Oil Company. Further, he discussed the

strip.
Canopy colors, and,
Width of the band.

station and the total square footage of the desired banding. He suggested that
the colored design of the banding might be interpreted as a sign since it
represents a message to the public.

corporate colors.

Planning Commi~ion Mi~..~ 5 F~ruary 2~, 1~1
Mr. Robinson indicated agreement with the fencing request made by
Commissioner Perrine. Further he requested clarification relative to the
conditions of approval regarding landscaping, ability for cars to circulate with
staff's proposed parking design, fire codes, and the suggested hours of
operation. Mr. Robinson requested that the hours of operation be extended
from 5:00 a.m., until midnight.
Relating to the hours of operation, Mr. Tsuda informed Mr. Robinson that he
should apply for a modification to the Use Permit at a later date; and, that due
to the sales of beer and wine, the Police Department would require further
review of this application.
Mr. Robinson queried as to why the hours of operation could not be
incorporated into this application. Mr. Tsuda reiterated his point that the
Police Department would have to be given adequate time to review this
option and suggested that if the applicant wished to pursue this issue, that the
application be continued to provide the necessary time for the Police
Department review.
Relative to the Fire Code question, Mr. Tsuda stated that the Fire Codes
would be defined by the Chief Building Inspector.
Commissioner Alne cautioned Staff against implying that a request to modify
the hours of operation would be approved.
Mr. Robinson asked for clarification relating to Condition of Approval No. 1
relating to Fire Code, specifically that the applicant provide additional
attendant care for emergency needs at the facility; and, Condition No. 3
relating to providing an 18 inch clearance for the restroom door.
Mr. Tsuda explained what the "strike side of the door" meant and suggested
the applicant discuss the Uniform Fire Code with the Fire Marshal.
Commissioner Alne pointed out that the request for a beer and wine license
was not properly mentioned in the Staff Report and asked if the sale of
alcohol was for on-site or off-site.
Mr. Tsuda stated that the conditions of approval would be amended to show
that the sale of beer and wine will be for off-site only.
