Alle ed Public Nuisance

A bt 4i-a�aJvt. 1 G t Kra ,..,dar13IIU ---
City Manager Morgan reported on the action which had been taken
in connection with the alleged public nuisance at 4127 El Camino
Real (A & W Root Beer Stand) and referred to his letter of July 7
to the Council. In light of discussions which have included the
City Manager, the Police Chief,- the City Attorney and the owner/
operLtor of the A & W Root Beer Stand, Mr. Morgan recommended
that a status report be made to the Council in 60 days at which
time it is anticipated the situation will have improved considerably.
(Councilman Debs returned to Chambers at 10:36 p.m.)
Discussion followed as to what recourse the Council might have if
the situation is not improved immediately. Members of the Coun-
cil questioned the City Attorney in connection with the legal aspects
of the situation. Mr. Michalski replied that there is nothing in-
herent in a root beer stand which creates a public nuisance and
that this particular stand is located in :accordance with the zoning
302
7/18/66
requirements for such a stand. He stated that it was his belief that
if the matter reached the court, and there was evidence of all-night
noise, lack of sanitation and general rowdiness, all of which was
encouraged by the owner, the court would possibly put on some sort
of restraint, but it is very unlikely the court would consider attempt
ing to abate the nuisance by forcing the owner to go out of business.
He suggested that possibly the most effective approach would be
for those who regard the stand as a public nuisance to go to the
police and sign a specific complaint for disturbing the peace, how-
ever, the Council cannot do so_ Thp ("n►,,,ci ,,n c-�1y dircctth ,
City Attorney to abate the alleged nuisance so far as it is in his
power to do so.
Philip Di Maria, 151_ Lytton Avenue, Palo Alto, spoke as the repre-
sentative of the petitioners. He stated that they do not want to put
the owner of the stand out of business, but merely want the nuisance
stopped. He read a report listing crimes allegedly committed in
the vicinity of the root beer stand during 1963-1966 and described
the activity around the stand.
Councilman Arnold asked Mr. Di Maria how many of the alleged
violations were upheld in court. Mr. Di Maria was unable to reply
to the question at that time. Councilman Arnold then suggested
that the petitioners might act in a private capacity, and Councilman
Beahrs stated he believed the matter to be a police problem. Dis-
cussion followed concerning the extent and effectiveness of recent
police activity in the area.
Councilman Debs moved, seconded by Pearson, that the City Mana-
ger's staff be required to report with this as an Agenda item for the
first meeting in August on action taken since June 23, 1966 and to
recommend any further action which might be indicated.
Councilman Worthington moved, and it was duly seconded, an
amendment that the GiwY_Attorney be_ asked __to draft for Cot,n^il__
consideration a proposed ordinance regulating operations of drive-
in restaurants. The motion carried unanimously.
