Let me explain the big stockpile in't know how to operate your macl ut I have some <br />slides which I have made just tc nd pictures to show you what is ha,, g in that yard. <br />The.stockpile along the east side rence, which they say will erode in the rainy season and run <br />down into the neighbors property... <br />vleGallian: Mr. Guss, it is not your character that is in question. I have been in the construction <br />business and I know what you are saying. I have been there and done that. The only thing that <br />this is asking you is to comply by October 15. That is your chance and that is what we are here <br />to rule on. It has come down to that. You can show us pictures, you can give us statements and <br />you can tell us all the good things that you have done here. We have read them and we <br />commend you for your good work and your reputation. There have been a lot of nice things said <br />about you. That is not what is in question here. What is in question is, can you comply by <br />October 15. Basically, that is it. <br />Guss: Yes, sir. I will comply. Can I finish this? Just give me three more minutes. <br />McGallian: OK, but I would like to put a limit on it. I know you have probably done a lot of <br />work and research into it. <br />Guss: You heard that they said that I had dirt piled on the side on this particular east side and <br />that the material was coming down against the neighbors fence. First of all, I have a well <br />established growth across there and it is all concrete, there is no dirt on the east side at all. The <br />picture speaks for itself. This picture was just made today. I had it developed at Denevi's <br />Camera. Secondly, if something went down beside the fence, there are two fences down there. <br />One fence belongs to me and is on my property; the second fence belongs to Burt & Johnny's <br />which has steel posts. If I put something against the fence, it would be on my property, not on <br />ais property. <br />Eliason: Would it be more fair to the applicant to allow him time to load his slides and maybe <br />we take a short recess while he does this so we can have his presentation? <br />Guss: I.believe I can do it in five minutes. <br />McGallian: OK. <br />Guss: This is a shot from Doolittle looking out towards the end of Eden Road. Here it looks <br />like a landing strip on an old farmer's place. It's not the place you used to know it as. You're a <br />contractor, you've been there. A lot of you grew up in San Leandro. What else could you ask <br />for. They could drive down through there 30 miles an hour if they wanted to. `All those <br />improvements have been done by me out of my pocket. <br />This is Galbraith's service yard with my pickup sitting on it but that is where I pull up with my <br />trucks and I back straight back into my property. But look how nice `it looks, sir. That doesn't <br />look like a "Sanford and Son" operation to me. I just want to share that with you. <br />This is at the back of the water pollution plant or sewage treatment plant looking back towards <br />Doolittle Drive. In other words, I'm standing west and I'm shooting east: Arrow's Truck Parts <br />Board of Zoning Adjustments Meeting August 1, 1996 <br />Minute No. 96-15 ;r Page 6 of 12 <br />
