Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - September 4, 1990 Page - 4 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) The City Council asked what types of uses were anticipated for pads A and B and whether or not Pacific Development Group would be willing to go through a tenant review process. They also asked how litter would be handled by Burger King off the site. James Harlon, representing Burger King, 3875 Hopyard Road, Pleasanton, spoke regarding the matter of litter pickup and said Burger King would be willing to have employees pick up litter within a block or two of the restaurant a couple of times a day. In response to City Council questions, he also spoke at length regarding hours of operation of the Burger King, peak hours of the drive-thru, the number of customers per day, the amount of sales per day, and the method of handling stacked vehicles in the drive-thru line. He noted Burger King would take some of the traffic away from the McDonald's and the Jack-in-the-Box in the area. In response to questions by City Council , he said if Burger King could not have a drive-thru window it would not be feasible, as competitors in the area have drive-thru windows. The City Council recessed from 9:55 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The Hearing was then opened to the public.

Barbara Tierney, 3965 Mission Way, said she was concerned regarding the traffic and also noted the vacancies at Greenhouse Market Place and at the corner of Monterey and Washington.
