Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli assumed the Chair. Councilwoman Kennedy noted that due to the absence of the Director of Public Works, she was hopeful the matter would be continued until her concerns are answered. Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. George Hillyard, representative of Mobil Oil Company, spoke in favor of the appeal to waive the ten foot irrevocable offer of dedication along Irvine Boulevard. He noted that the same problem has existed with other service stations in the City; Mobil Oil is not the property owner; and the property owner is opposed to the dedication. Steve Inman, dealer of subject service station, spoke in favor of the appeal. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 1-6-86 There were no other speakers on the matter, and the public hearing was closed at 7:15 p.m. Councilman Edgar stated that Council has approved similar appeals on the premise that ultimate development of some major arterials needs to be done in its entirety rather than on a piecemeal basis. In the interest of being consistent, it was moved by Edgar, sec- onded by Hoesterey, to waive the requirement for a ten foot irrevo- cable offer of dedication as required by Use Permit No. 85-28. Councilman Hoesterey expressed concern that Tustin has a tremendous traffic problem. Council must start to look more closely at these dedications and take more action to require same so that when expansion of major arterials is feasible, the City is able to do it without financial hardship. Councilwoman Kennedy was very sympathetic with the applicant's request. However, she felt traffic is a greater concern. She feels the solution is to find a very advanced way for Tustin to set the pace for the rest of the County to demand irrevocable right- of-way dedications and then allow businesses to expand over them. Following Council debate, the motion carried 3-1, Kennedy opposed, Greinke abstained. 81 Mayor Greinke resumed the Chair. Mr. Hillyard commended the Council on their sincere interest in the people that live and work in the community.
