Item No. 1 (continued) Peter Uccelli, owner of the Harbor House Restaurant, stated Syufy does a great job, but another access road in that area, is needed, and urged a better solution to the traffic problems be developed George Corey, 700 El Camino Real, Millbrae, attorney for Syufy, stated a theatre is the best use of the land, as the peak hours are in the evening and weekends, and not during normal commute hours. Both Nolte and Brian Kangas Faulk traffic studies confirm that this proposal for 12- screen theatre is a vast improvement over the drive -in as people park first then pay, eliminating the traffic back -up. Syufy personnel direct traffic and with staggered show times, traffic problems are minimized. Syufy is providing 15% of the cost of the bridge over Redwood Creek which will impact favorably on projected development in the area. If after one year it is deemed there is not adequate parking, Syufy would use 2 lots as new parking lots. The City would like the lots held for two years. Jack Myhill, 470 Kiki Court, Pleasant Hill, General Manager of Syufy Theatres, described starting and ending times of Syufy theatres; and population data indicating the apparent viability of a 12- screen theatre at this location.
