5. Grant of Conditional Variance - Kliklok Building, 1089 Kliklok Way (203 -05) Report of City Manager and Director of Public Works 3/16/84 (Correction: in line 4 of paragraph 1, "170 feet" should be 107 feet.) Director of Public Works Addiego referred to the subject report and to a slide projection and a wall map of the area. In response to questions, Mr. Addiego said that he and the Traffic Engineer had observed the required truck parking manuevers in a demonstration, and they are satisfied that no public safety problems will occur and no on- street parking will be eliminated. Mike McCracken, 2755 Campus, San Mateo, attorney representing Jack Keeney, owner of the property at 1050 Kliklok Way, opposite the subject property, reported that his client received notice of the plans of Peninsula Office Supply for use of the building on March 14, and he would like time to consider them. Mr. McCracken requested that the matter be continued so that his client may review the requested variance plans. Jack Keeney, owner of 1050 Kliklok Way, said he is concerned about street congestion which might be created by trucks across the street and the possible effect on his building which is empty and being offered for light warehousing. M /S: Bury /Britschgi to continue action on the subject application for variance for two weeks. Bob Dolan, 725 Desoto Drive, Palo Alto, representing Peninsula Office Supply, stated in response to questions that the intended use of the building is appropriate; that present truck traffic may be reduced, because of consolidation of shipments; that use of the street by trucks will be reduced, since they will be able to make use of the off - street parking bays; that safety will be improved because of relocation of the fire hydrant to a more desirable location; and Mr. Dolan said that the sellers of the property, Kliklok Corporation, Greenwich, Connecticut, are anxious to close escrow. CHANGE OF MOTION: Councilman Bury, with the consent of his second, changed his motion to continue the item for one week. Andrew Finer, Coldwell Banker, 177 Bovet Road, San Mateo, realtor, replied to question stating that courtesy notice was sent to Mr. Keeney in a letter dated March 12, 1984. Discussion followed and City Attorney Schricker, Mr. Dolan and Mr. Addiego replied to questions and commented concerning legal notice requirements relating to neighbors; public safety findings; the nature of professional studies and testing to determine the best means of handling truck deliveries; the kinds of use to which the subject property and Mr. Keeney's property might be put; and whether there might be other alternatives for handling the trucks.
