Speaking to the motion, Councilman Claire said he had asked the owners/operators how many gallons they pumped per day, and Mr. Saberi said currently it was 185,000 and before the station closed it was 220,000. "That indicates to me that right now with a third island they are not pumping more they are pumping less.... I have gone through a lot of pennitting processes in my days and if I got that permit that said tank remediation, period, I would have gone back through the pennit process and said, wait, I want an island written down on that pennit. . .. The fact of the matter is, I have seen the island.... I can't imagine anybody in their right mind would have approved that island. That island needs to go." Councilwoman Buchan expressed her dismay at the petitions that came to the Council suggesting that the City intended to close down the station. She said that was never the intent of the City. Councilwoman Buchan said she was disturbed that Planning Director Jany had been "made out to be the bad guy" when he was simply carrying out the wishes of the Council under the laws of the City. She said the conditions recommended by staff were needed to have this business comply with the laws of the City. Councilwoman Buchan said these types of hearings were taken very, very seriously and no one ever wanted to shut a business down. "We want to '-' find a way to make it work." Councilwoman Buchan said she appreciated hearing from people who spoke at the meeting and sent in comments. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 NOVEMBER4,1996 MINUTES Page No. 017 PAGE 15
