Mr. Bob Van Gerpen addressed the Commission and stated that Mr. David Thomas and Mr. Frank Prior of Thriftymart, along with himself, were available to answer any questions the Commission might have. Mr. Van Gerpen stated that he had reviewed the staff report and cited the proposal does demonstrate a hardship in that the nearby supermarkets enjoy similar signs. He further stated that surveys revealed the competitor's greater amount of business was due to better signing on their part. Mr. Van Gerpen stated that the applicant had recently spent a great deal of money on remodeling the inside of the supermarket, however, the supermarket in question still only enjoys one half of its store in a neighboring City. He feels that the inadequacy of the business is due to not enough identification for the store. Thereby, Mr. Van Gerpen stated that the proposal demonstrates a definite economic hardship. Viewgraphs of the site in question were shown. Commissioner Russell was concerned about approving a sign of this type due to the al- ready existing signs and not creating a further "circus". Further- more, it was his contention that the sign would not create a one third increase in business as previously cited by the applicant. David Thomas of Thriftymart gave a brief history of the ownership and length of time the supermarket has been in existence. Mr. Tom King addressed the Commission and stated that his being in the same type of business, agreed that the sign would cause an increase in patronage to the supermarket, however, he did not feel it would be a volume of one third. There being no further parties present to speak on the application, the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion ensued. Commissioner Russell suggested a continuance to allow staff to study different types of signs and see how staff is progressing on different sign ordinance. He further stated that supermarkets also depend on new people coming into the community, therefore, the store needs identification. 1 Minutes: H.B. Planning Commission Tuesday, December 19, 1978 Page Seven Commissioner Bazil stated that most people shopping are aware of the supermarket's location and does not feel that there is a need for additional signing.

A copy of the proposed condominium project was distributed among Commission members. Mr. Morris further stated that the Coastal Commission's recommendations would be included in the proposed conceptual plan. Chairman Finley stated that Commission was not to look at specific plan in detail, because the application in question was a zone change, and not a development plan. Mr. Palin presented background information on how the parcel in question was created. A possible merger of two parcels was dis- cussed for the purpose of the five -unit condominium project. The Commission reiterated the importance of the acquisition of additional property for the purpose of access to the proposed project. Commissioner Bazil stated that without assurance of proper access, he was unable to vote favorably on the zone change. There being no further persons present to speak on the zone change, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Savoy Bellavia addressed the Commission and stated he had no additional input to the staff report, however, he further stated that the applicant had prepared a report,(in the form of a Plan- ning Department Staff Report), and that he had not had the oppor- tunitv to review this report.

Mr. Sullivan stated that he owns the storage yard on the east side. He stated that if the zone change was granted, it would be detri- mental to his recreation vehicle storage yard business. Mr. Sullivan questioned who the owner of the property in question is. Mr. Anderson replied, stating that Ivy Ong and Frank Buccella were the propery owners. Mr. Sullivan wished to include his opposition to the proposed zone change into the record because he travels quite frequently, and may not be in town at a future meeting.
