The corner radius planting and screening nas been kept below 3' high as required by Ordinance. There will be 22.5% la�dscaping within the property lines; 27% when taking in the curb line.

The reason �t was abandoned the site was that Shell picked up all Amer�can Oil s�ations in this area and this one was moved into the Stevens Cree� Blvd./TNo1Fe Roa� � location. He talked tiait:� Shell and tney would li�ce to get out of the 1ea�e on this property. Mr. Saicz would have to tear do�an thi� building with so^�e economic loss, but is willing to do so. Alternative uses would be that anyone could come in and dispense gas, open up the bays, service cars and sell accessories under �he present use permit. Mr. Wong said he would be extensively up- grading the site, with iandscaped screening. There would be no additional gas pumps and Cupertino would be getting rid of an abandoned service station. Mr. Wong said this is a good location for nis proposed car caash Good location because in is on a �r�ajor street, acaay from residential areas. They meet all health, safety and welf are requirements. Lastly, he noted that the staff still recorsmends approval of this appli- cation. Mr. Wong answered Comm. Adams that the submerged tanks will have A11 water kept to be moved and possibly replaced.

The service s�ation in this locat�on was doing moderately well for a station in this area, but its new location is better. He further answered Coram. Nellis that there u�ill be mounding and shrubs and trees to screen as *�uc:� as possible the car wash from the highway. Comm.

This will not use our C�ty property to its fullest use of o potential over a 24-hour period. Comm. Gatto said that in order to make this type of use acceptable the appearance and eifects it generates on the cor.ununity have.to be considered. The proble^:s he sees at t5is site are audio and visual. The pr�posal, as we see it now, offers the chance to screen alnost all of it. T:�e stacking area where all tne cars are lined up to go to the pu�ps, due to the cone of vision is �inimal. However, he had to agree with the points riade by Cor.un. 0'Keefe.
