The Commission addressed several concerns to Keith Bohr, Redevelopment Specialist, among them were what steps would be taken to prevent drinking on the premises. Mr. Bohr explained there would be notices posted stating that it was prohibited. :They also questioned how no skateboarding, loitering and video games, as stated in the conditions, would be enforced. Counsel stated that these conditions would be enforced as any other conditions are enforced throughout -the City. The Commission also discussed the products to be sold and the hours of operation. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Bob Bruce, 415 Townsquare Lane, spoke in opposition to the request. His reasons for concern included two (2) other similar stores in the immediate area that would probably suffer if this market opened. Leslie Pinchuk, 415 Townsquare Lane,. spoke in opposition to the request. She stated that she was led to believe, when signing the waiver, that every attempt would be made to put in businesses with 9-5 hours. Ms. Pinchuk said it may help the commercial portion of the project, but it would be detrimental to the residents.- She implored the Commission to consider shorter hours if they did approve the request. Fred Shafer, 8262 Snowbird Drive, President Townsquare Homeowners Association, spoke in opposition to the project.

Peter Crowley, Jr., 415 Townsquare Lane, Treasurer Townsquare Homeowners Association, spoke in opposition to the project. He was concerned with not knowing who the operator of the market/deli would be. When they purchased they did not know who would be the tenants in the project area, if they had they would not have bought there. Brian Olson, 415 Townsquare Lane, spoke in favor of.the request. Mr. Olson stated that the primary reason for buying into this project was the attraction of retail clientele along Main Street. He stated this market/deli would also supplement the needs of the tenants in Townsquare. John W. Millett, representing applicant, stated that the building was designed with heavy insulation for the purpose of limiting the impacts on the residents of Townsquare. Mr. Millett said that disclosures were signed'by every person who bought at Townsquare, because it was not known at the time what type of business would be incorporated. E PC Minutes - 12/4/90 -2- (8044d) Jerry Jones, representing applicant, stated for the record that every person who bought within Townsquare did sign a disclosure. Mr. Jones turned the floor over to Kevin Dwyer, Coldwell Bank. Kevin Dwyer, Coldwell Banker, stated that they looked at what the best mix would be for the commercial/retail to'survive. They felt that the market/deli would draw the people to the other- retail businesses by foot traffic. Mr. Dwyer also made reference to the existing liquor stores in the area and stated that it is a very competitive market, and the strongest of them will survive. He told the Commission that some other businesses that were possible tenants, contingent upon the market, are a dry cleaners, coffee store and medical user.
