RE: APPEAL OF CONDITION TO USE PERMIT 70-18 - 1002 SECOND STREET - ANTHONY NOVACIC, DBA GLOBAL ENTER-

Public hearing was declared open. Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner informed the council of the
Planning Commission's reason for placing the conditions on the use permit. Vehicular access on Second
Street was considered hazardous to the general public as it is a heavily trafficked street. Customer
vehicles left for repair should be parked within the building so as not to create a parking problem in
the area, and the bar or railing which protrudes from the building should be removed. Mr. Robert Hopps,
representative of Global Enterprises, the owners of the property addressed the council and stated that
since San Rafael has not made similar requirements relative to parking in other new enterprises he felt
that the action was discriminatory and arbitrary. Mr. Hopps is withdrawing his objection to the railing
and brackets being removed. The council agreed that it would be discriminatory to impose parking restric-
tions on the applicant. The applicant requested that the matter of ingress and egress on Second Street
be held over. The matter was continued for two weeks to April 20th, 1970.

property owners in the vicinity and stated that builders should not be permitted to ginore the instruc-
tions of the Planning Commission or the council. Mr. Ghirardo addressed the council stating that be-

ing the council to see that the original plans were followed. Mrs. McNulty, 224 Picnic Avenue spoke

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF USE PERMIT NO. 70-33 - OFFICE WAREHOUSE AT 517 JACOBY STREET - File 10-5
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner reported to the council that an appeal had been received from
adjacent property owners, Quail Hill, Inc., Bonzani, Flocchini, Norwitt (Auto City, Inc.), and Irving
Bartel, requesting that the owner of the property at 517 Jacoby Street be required to dedicate a strip
of land on the northerly property line and improve one-half of the street section as a condition to the
use permit. The Planning Director stated his views on the dedication of right-of-way and construction
bond for the roadway at this time as he felt it was a policy of the council to require the roads as
adopted in the general plan of 1966 whenever permanent construction on a site is applied for. City
Planning Commissionr Jorgen Lunding addressed the council stating that a general plan is a guideline
and that no precise road plan has been developed for this area. Mr. Richard K. Duncan, President of
Quail Hill, Inc. stated that guidelines should be set for roads so that the property owners can proceed
with their development plans. Mr. Dino Ghilotti, owner of the property objected to the right-of-way
dedication as he had previously been required to dedicate and improve Jacoby Street when it was under
County jurisdiction. At this time he plans only to build one building fronting on Jacoby Street, and
agreed that at the time that the rear portion of the lot was developed he would be willing to partici-
pate in his share of the development. City Council agreed that a precise road plan should be developed
in the near future for the area.
Motion was made by Councilman Jensen, seconded by Councilman Barbier, the appeal be denied, the action
of the Planning Commission be sustained.

finite plan presented. Neighbors residing on Maywood Way, Mr. Herbert J. Witt, Charles E. Blakeley, Paul

erty has been in this condition for three years. The council assured the adjacent property owners that

permit for a public debris dump was renewed for a six months period and the applicants are appealing
on the basis that the San Queintin Disposal was granted a two year permit. Mr. Al Bianchi, attorney,
representing Maggiora and Ghilotti addressed the council concerning the substantial sum of money involved
in equipment necessary to operate this refuse disposal site and the need for a greater length of time in
order to amortize the cost. There being no one else present wishing to address the council on the matter,

the use permit be granted for a period of two years.

Sanitation District intending to construct a residence on his lot. The San Rafael Sanitation District

tion to the sanitation district contingent on this annexation to the City of San Rafael. They also re-
commended that three additional properties be included in the annexation in order to straighten city
limits line. Mr. Charles Grandi addressed the Council stating that he wanted his property annexed to
the City, however, the additional property owners object to being annexed. City Attorney, David Menary,

liability of the city contracted prior to or existing at the time of annexation unless there is consent
from owners of two-thirds of the value of the territory and this we do not have. Mayor Bettini suggested

Mayor Bettini declared the hearing open. City Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner reported on the
action taken by the Planning Commission in unanimously granting approval for the change in signs at the
Mobil Service Station on Second and Irwin Street. The Commission felt that the signs were more attractive
and, also, of less square footage than the existing signs. The Marin Independent Service Station Associa-
tion at the Planning Commission hearing, objected to the new signing as the main purpose for the change
was to permit a self service gas station. Mr. Robert Moore, Executive Secretary of Marin Independent
Service Station Association addressed the Council objecting to a permanent sign with temporary changes,
stating that the City would then have to allow all service stations to use the same method of signing
even if their signs are not as attactive. He also claimed that posting of price would represent an agree-
ment between the dealer and the supplier in violation of anti-trust laws. Mr. Thomas Atkinson, Area Sales
Manager from Mobil Oil Company addressed the Council on behalf of his company's proposed sign changes.
The Council discussed the fact that the main purpose for the change in signs was to permit a self service
gas station. After lenghty discussion concerning this aspect, the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
