Use Permit (Case C-80) Mobil Oil Corp. (cont.to The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of Publication 9/3/68) of Notice of this Public Hearing on the Appeal from Denial of Conditional Use permit, along with a communication from the Planning Director requesting a denial by the Council of the appeal. Mr. Ronald W. Greek, 11001 Valley Mall, E1 Monte, representing Mobil Oil Corporation, spoke on behalf of the appeal. With the use of film slides and site plans, he expressed that the appearance of the proposed station would be an asset, that there would be sufficient traffic on the Foothill Freeway to warrant a station, that pains would be taken to be "good neighbors" with the residents to the rear of the property, and that the presence of a station at this location would not be a traffic hazard. Mr. Greek presented an improved plot plan over that presented at the Planning Commission hearing. Moved by Councilman Cooney that, due to new evidence, the hearing be discontinued and the matter.be referred back to the Planning Commission for rehearing. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Greek expressed that Mobil Oil Corporation would stand on the original plan, but would have this as an alternate for approval of precise plot plan if the appeal from denial is approved. Mr. Albert E. Baker, 225 South Azusa Avenue, spoke on behalf of the appeal, urging the Council to approve it. 'Mr. Bud Schumacher, 229 South Azusa Avenue, also spoke on be- half of the appeal, stating that the Council has taken action in the past to rezone that property so that a service station could be built upon it. Mr. David O'Brien, 220 South Ran Gabriel Avenue, spoke against the appeal, stating that the noise of dumping cans; the pres- ence of large trucks at the station, and the necessity of motorists having to make a "U" turn on Paramount Street to 350' I I 1 AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, JULY 15, 1968 return to the Freeway, would be extremely disturbing to the people in the area He also expressed the feeling that there is not a need for more service stations in the vicinity. Mr. Ronald L. Bailey, 214 South San Gabriel Avenue, spoke against the appeal, indicating concern about the station's use of the alley. Mr. Gilbert Davis, 223 South San Gabriel Avenue, spoke against the appeal, indicating a feeling that the station would have a negative effect upon the property of the residences behind it on San Gabriel Avenue. Mr. Greek again spoke on behalf of the appeal, showing that the station would not use the -alley, that a wall would be erected that would prevent access to the alley, that there would be no eating place, just a rest stop for motorists, that they would not be equipped to handle large trucks, that the operation of the station would be between 6:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M., and that great care would be taken not to disturb the residents of the area. There being no further persons wishing to be heard or communi- cations received, it was Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio, and unanimously carried that the hearing be closed. After inquiry of the Planning Director and the information disclosed that the Planning Commission would be holding a public hearing regarding a Freeway Service Zone for this area, it was Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert, and unanimously carried that the hearing be reopened and con- tinued until the Council Meeting of September 3, 1968.

The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of Publication of Notice of this public hearing, together with a communication from the Planning Director requesting that this appeal be denied. Mr. E. S. Howard, 754 West Edna Place, Covina, spoke on be- half of the appeal. He indicated that there had been no protests from the residents in the area when he first began proceedings and at the public hearing held by the Planning Commission. He also indicated that the Planning Director had originally recommended approval to the Planning Commission. He further stated that the place of business would be a bona - fide eating place, a sandwich shop, and felt that such was needed near the Freeway. There being no further person wish- ing to be heard in this matter and no further communication, it was Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert, and unanimously carried by roll call that the hearing be continued to Council Meeting of September 3, 1968. An item tabled from the meeting of July 1, 1968, regarding the request of the City Clerk to levy 'in lieu" business tax on vendors at Swap Meets, was presented to Council.
