Excerpts of the Board of Zoning Adjustments Regular Meeting Minutes September 1, 2011 Agenda No. 11 -09 Page 2 of 2 Member Makin asked about Mr. McKinney's planned business hours. hl response, Mr. McKinney said that C &M Trailer Rental would generally be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., although he might not be onsite until 9 a.m. if that's his first appointment of the day. He also said that he would make allowances to accommodate clients who might want to pick up a trailer at 7:30 a.m., for instance. Member Palma asked whether Mr. McKinney knows the individual who wrote the letter of opposition and /or talked with anyone who had concerns about his business. Mr. McKinney said no; in fact, he said he's pretty friendly with all the neighbors. hl response to Member Mendieta, Mr. McKinney said that he is just starting the business; it's been operating for three months now, and that he sets his latest appointment of the day at 5 p.m., so people won't be picking up trailers at 10 p.m., for instance. hl response to Vice Chair Houston, Mr. McKinney said that he operates his business every day, regardless of whether he has trailers on hand to rent or appointments with clients. If he isn't seeing clients, he says that he works on the computer or on trailer maintenance — checking tire pressure and lights, performing safety checks, etc. When Vice Chair Houston invited any members of the audience who wanted to speak to come forward, Mr. Dillman said that any young man willing to invest in our community is a great thing. He commended Mr. McKinney on his decision and encouraged the BZA to approve his application. Francine Foreman, Maricopa, Arizona, identified herself as Mr. McKinney's mother, and said that she obviously encourages approval of his application. She said she's worked with her son over the months to help put the business together, and they're looking for the business to grow and continue in San Leandro. In response to Vice Chair Houston, Mr. McKinney said that he is prepared to comply with the conditions set forth in the staff recommendation.
