An application for a special permit to engage in a wholesale and retail
sales of�building materials at 1356 Marsten Road, filed by the Masonry
Supply -Co., Inc., a.cco aniead by a trap, administrative papers and a
receipt for a filing fee, was acknowledged for formal consideration.
The Chair declared the public hearing on the application open.
Mr. Oscar Person, the applicant, stated that the business in being
relocated from 102e Cadillac Way to 1356 Karsten Road:. that in addition
to the application for a special permit, he is further requesting that
he be permitted to see into a small temporary structure. equipped
with sanitary facilities, to be replaced with an ,appropriate building
when financial conditions permit.
The City Planner stated that the retail -sale of building materials in
an industrially -zoned district requires approval through a use permits
that the type material sold by the applicant is compatible with the
M-1 Zoning and it was his recommendation that a use permit be authorized.
The City Planner, continuing his statements, advised that a construc-
tion "shack" bas been.placed on the property and that there is no
provision in either the building or the zoning code permitting
structures for use as requested by the applicant, other than temporary
real estate tract sales offices or temporary sheds used during building
construction and, in bin opinion, there is no 'basis upon which the
Commission -can approves the request of the applicant for a temporary
building.
Mr. Person stated, in reply to inquiries from the Chair, that his
'retail sales from the yard average approximately three percent and the
type building requested is one in which hardware, mainly for fireplace
purposes, may be stored and that if the use of the building is not
approved, it will be necessary to forego retail sales completely.
The City Planner, following a series of inquiries directed to his by
the Commission, referred to provisions of the Code, wherein accessory
construction buildings may be eructed and maintained until completion
of the work and buildings for tract sales offices are the only
permis s ible temporaryp sa tructures .
T'he.City Planner further pointed out that the applicant is requesting
permiusion to use the building for an unspecified period of time.

The City Attorney, in reply to the Chair, confirmed the statements
of the City Planner, stating that there is no authority to permit
temporary building® and that the building inspector, complying with
the terms of the code, would withhold the issuance of building permits
if the circumotaneess were that,permission had been granted.
Cemesaissione r Norbmrg stated that the onjy solution is that a plan be
prepared for a permanent building, permitting the erection of a con-
struction shack for a period of not :sore than one year.
Commissioner Kindig questioned the discussion on the issue and referring
to the "non -conforming" use of the present shack, ,stated that requests
from other applicants under :similar circeamtances, would be denied;
that on the subject of financing, a wall structure for the purpose
announced, in his opinion, "almost could be financed from out of
'hip -pocket" money."
Mr. Person, in reply, stated that the construction of an office and a
warehouse would approximate at least fifty thousand dollars for which
it would be impossible to negotiate a loan because of the current
financial :situation and that has would make a commitment to construct
a building within one year.
Commissioner Brauneir referred to the statements of the City Attorney
with respect to the absence of "authority" to permit temporary con-
struction and stated that in his opinion, to grant the request would
be setting a precedent.
Following further discussion on the two issues before the: Comssissionss
(1) a special permit to conduct a retail business in an industrial
zone and (2) the use of a tempoary structure to engage in the retail
business, in which it was generally understood that only the "special
permit* slay .le acted ::upon, the Chair requested the pleasure of the
commission.
Commissioner Braeuner questioned Mr. Person on his plans for the
construction of a bufldiM in compliance with code requiremsnts
insofar- uses a tim period is concerned. Mr. Person replied that be
anticipated commencing construction early in 1967.

representative.
The public hearing was declared open and comments from the audience
were invite. by -the Chair.
Mire Morris C. Ross, property owner with a business interest at 1838
S1 Camino Real, advised that some of the leading companies of the
country have located in this area to avoid the cong3sted commercial
areas in San ftancieco and the addition of a car wash "would aggravate
the administrative tine of the area."
Dr. Araem! Ojahi,an, owner of business property in the ivaadiate area,
spoke on his plain to construct a medical center and expressed concern
that a car wash unit would not only depreciate the property but would
di age doctors from locating in the areal the service road is
too narrow to accomodate the proposed business and should be located
in a more convenient area.
Mr. Carl Snyder, 1888 Rl Camino Real, also spoke on the narrowness of
the *service roakd . "
A recess was called by the Moir at 9:15 p.m. to permAt a review of
the site plans.
The ne*thg was reconvened at 9:20 p.m., with,the Chair polling those
objecting, for additional comments.
Mr. Ross stated -that he had no objections to the car wash installation
provided the flow of traffic would not restrict the use ofthe narrow
*serviceroad;" that a building be constructed appropriate to the
area and not permitted to expand in future years. ,
Mr. der indicated he had no objection.
Dr. Ojakian stated that the present plant indicates a ninety -foot
separation from his building and his objection was based on the possi-
bility than a building expansion program by the applicants in the
future may lessen that distance.
Commissioner Xindig stated that a condition included in the variance,
if granted, would restrict future wtpansion plans.
Commissioner Rorberg stated.that the present building plan dogs not
meat code requirements and suggested that plans be revised and re-
submitted. -to the Commission.
Commissioner Kindig, commnting on the reference in the .cemegnany • s
coeammnica.tion accompanying the application, that the "automatic car
- 5
wash consists of a building containing machanically operated brushes
and heavy-duty blowers" questioned whether "noise" may be aa. disturbing
factor in its Operation.
Mr. D resachel stated that the Dallas -Smith. Corp., the manufacturers,
ban indicated that the unit is noiseless and its operation has drawn
no unfavorable comwnts from commnities in which the car wash
has been installed.
Further discussion cowlaadel with Mr. Dnreschel requested to re -submit
a revised building plan, indicating elevations, landscaping and
architectural design compatible with neighboring properties and that
