statemen�s I the Cr,mr�issioncrs for an aes*hetic, consuner-orie�it�d service not

l�e stressed that th�s is not the typical, stereot}-pe of a car �vash.
Functionally, it fits into the l.ocatio.z as to traffic tlow and land use.
I?e said o�aners�zip and mai�a�ership �a_�ic�i are honle-i�ase3 is a very im-
portant factor. Iie noted t;le sta�f indicar_ed the site is appropriate;
the oitly objection to the proposal is runctional.

� The pump i�land �.s very simple and clea�� �-- tiiey ons}� sell gas, no oil

Comm. 0'Keefe was concerned with the co:-ipatibility w�th the area. He
is concerned this might not blend in �ai_th the small, pedestrian-type
stores nearby. Mr. Jensen said he wo�_lld li_ke to see that type of
business off ttie major arterials. Ttley are some�,�hat separateu by the
railroad tracks. T:zey have taken a11 the precautions to make it safe,
not only on site but on down t?ie street.
il�is is i_n Comm. 0'Keefe cited the bike path on 'subb Road and the pedestrian traffic
conf? ict w�th *_o sma11 business�s that reflect the Taishes of t:ie people who live in
pedestrian the area, as �oell a� the Planning Department's teelings that the site
type trafiic is inadequate for this proposal. The si�ht of two services stations in
such close proxir:iit}� weuld not enhance the area. He asked Mr. Jensen if
he felt this operation w�u1d encoura�e vehicular tra�tic in an area
;anere they prefer pedestrian traffic. Mr. Jensen said T��i1at we are faced
with on this property is a series o� �?r t;pe operations as an
alternative. He agr�ed ttiat more cars would be comin� to the car wash
on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Traffic Comm. Gatto asked the staff about the access proolem onto Stevens Cree�c
probler.�s Blvd. The Traffic Eng�neer explained the basic pre�l?m �aould be exitin�
the car wash and the trafLic goin� east on StevPns Creek �lvd.
increase_d Com� Adams asked what the anticipated traffic count �aould be here, once
t.raffic the freeway oFens up. The Traffic En��neer saici it would be sorle:�here
between 30 and 35,000 in a�out ten years. There ��:�ill be a signal at tnat
intersection witi:in one year. T:�e widening of Stevens Creeri �lvd, acr_oss
the railroad trac'_�cs is aoout 10 years acaay.
'Too r��any l as Comn. Nellis ��zas concerned about the bike route, ?,7hich this community
criented has gone to a l�t of trouble to establisli. This pr_oposal �.aould generate
�ssinesses many left turns. There are presently 34 service stations in Cupertino
oi� this street and another approved, plus 5 in Lhe County. �-�'e i�ave far e.rceeded the
