petition in opposition presented to council and could have presented
one in favor; he is wj-l1ing to meet all city requirements; showed
photos of sinilar establishment in San Mateo which is larger and on a
busier corner and it has no parking problems; applicant feels they
r.ri11 have little effect on parking; this is a quality operation;
questioned differentiating between service and retail businesses.
Bob Petrick, Fred Guerrero and Jerry Manzanares all spoke in favor.

impacted; citizens were promised retail business at this site; thereare too many cleaners on Broadvay. Dorothy Chu, uhose family owns drycleaning business on Broadway, urged deniaL also.

there is a parking problen on Broadway which this business nould
impact. He noved to uphold the Planning Comnission denial. Seconded

Councilwoman Barton objected to funds going to sports nhen other
prograns night also be cut, she wondered if school district rsould be
back every year for donation and also why nobody was at the council
meeting to represent the district. Council-man Amstrup stated he
supports sport programs but did not uanE Eo set precedent with
donation, he noted students in Burllngame attend Mi11s High School and
other schools i.n the district, not just Burlingame; he wondered if
Foster City and llillsborough would be donating even though they had no
school in their cities.
Counci-lman Mangini reviewed the sports uses proposed for these fundsl
that schools should be receiving monies from State lottery next year
so would not need to approach cities for funds. Councilnan Pagliaro
supported a donation but dld not like to see linitations put on funds
such as City of San Mateo has done. Mayor Martin reviewed the sale of
a portion of Mi11s High School lands which will involve the
developnent fees for that property being donated by City of Millbrae
to Mi11s High School for swimming pool repai.r. He agreed students
from Burlingame go to other schools and a donation should be for all
