Mr. Ander,son read the .r_eque�t and the St�ff ReFort, which was ordered filed. Mr. Edv�in PTe1sG?Z expl3ined the- reason for the rezoning request tha� the expansion oP business r.ecessitated more area to operate, and the.additional space would eleminate �ome of the congestion in the area.. Mr. Levine presented a petition, containing 20 signatures of property owners o.f the area, protesting the zoning change, and Mr. _- Levine felt the mud puddles caus�d by the washing of equipment, the parking of cars in the streets and �.he trucks in the area created a. traffic ha2ard, and the access to the business created a congested area. Police Chief Richardson a�vi�ed he felt there was no more traffic hazard or.congestion in that area than exists on-the business portion of Eaat Branch St. Mr. Ns's�n stated the acquisition of�the � extra property would eleminate most of the problems that the protests were based on and that he would be willing to slope, grade, fence and landscape the area, and that a portion of the business was to be moved to another area and the portion of the business that was to remain at the present location could operate efficiently with the additional land and felt the move of the compl.�te business to another city would be a considerable loss of revenue to the City of Arroyo Grande.
