Mr. Gharles H, Hefferlin, a Sunnyv�le attorney, stated that he re-
presented 112 homeowners who h�d �igned a petition opposing the
construction of the club since their propertie� a�butt on the
proposed �iteo Mro Hefferlin said that he w�nted to speak for factors
these people as a group a�nd maintafaned that the sigx� tors were named
not opposed to the club but to the construciion of the club on
the proposed location and that the ho�aeowners totally oppose
tYais locatiana
Attorney H,�fferlin continued to s�y that the reasons for opposing
ttae club were as followse 1) �h�t the normal club activities
would create � number of nuisax�ce f�ct�rs incompatible with ad-
joining residences especi�lly in view of the fact that this site
is the last remaining undeveloped pax°cel in the area and is
totally.surrounded by homes9 2) that the construction of the
club wou�d create serious traffic haz�rds on an already sub-
st�:x�dard Bubb Road, and 3) th�t � residential development on
the site would not only be possibl� but fax°anore practical and
therefore comnatibleo

Further �n detailing his re�sons given Mro Hefferlin said that attorney's

at le�st 25Q f�mi�.fes to be increased to 350 f�mf lies later on
with their guestso :�Z st�ted tkaat he w�s in possession of the
minutes of the Februar� 22, 1968 �eetix�g of the club which state
th�t the club would provide swim�ing �n�:ets, inter-club meets,
group and private swimming lessons, water polo, tennis tournaments,
matches with other clubs, volley b�ll and badminton. Also, that
the s�oke of the planned barbeques would be a definite nuisance
to surrounding x°esidences. Itelative to the tr�ffic problem
he said th�t the p�operty is landlocked o�. all sides and Bubb
Road would taave to carry all traffico Addition�illy, for an anti-
cipated membership of 350 fa�nilies � 25% pa�lcing space ratio

suggestion tha� this Us� Permit be denieci �nd plans for a re-
zoning to IZlm7o5 from the present A1-43 be cn�de to allow con-

Considerable discussion ensued �fter Mro Iiefferlin's statements

attor�neyo Mro �oYanson said th�t he was r►ot going to c�tegorically

Mr. Johnson reiterated that the people are obviously scared of
something about which they have little information and that identical
oppositions had been experienced in other areas, but that some
cities had msintained control by imposing a continuing jurisdiction
further through reviewing the Use Permit at yearly or two-year intervals.
support If, in the interim, complaints had been received the permit would
be subject to discontinuance. Attorney Johnson stated that the
City of Saratoga was following this format but that, to his know-
ledge, no complaints had ever been lodged.
Numerous people spoke in support of the application, citing clubs
examples such as Saratoga, Brookside and Kona Kai as examples. The Commissioners
cited inquired as to possible light nuisance, the enlarging of the parking
facility, the widening of the sidewalk and the present owners of
the properties on the east side of Bubb Road, - Messrs. Kraich and
Brown.
Mr. George Wood of Terrace Drive in Cupertino said that it was his
concern distinct feeling that the homes in the neighborhood of the proposed
voiced club would drop in value and that the presentation by Mr. Johnson
had no bearing on the case in point.
Mr. A1 Carter, the Cupertino Postmaster and a homeowner whose prope�ty
immediately abutts on the proposed site, had �ubmitted a letter of
protest and said that conflicting stories about the conception of
clarifi- the club were circulating, and asked Mr. Mueller to pinpoint the
cation location of the tennis courts. Mr. Mueller obliged in telling
asked Mr. Carter that the location of the tennis courts had originally
been planned in a different spot than was shown on the rendering.
Mr. Don Bandley, Realtor, said that it was his feeling that this
application, if granted, would constitute an invasion of privacy
comments and he wanted it clearly understood that the opposition was not
to the club but to the location and that, in his opinion, homes
would have a better development potential.
Other sudience members spoke for and against the proposed construction.
Finally, a Mrs. Palmer of Columbus Avenue came forth and said that
the facts on the petition opposing the project had been grossly mis-
sudience represented, as it had been stated that there would be alcoholic
responses beverages dispensed, the noise would be unbearable and that properties
surrounding the site would also be zoned commercial. A?��?r. Randall
Hughes of Conradia Court agreed with Mrs. Palmer's allegations and
said that he was a member of the club and hoped that it would receive
favorabl� consideration.
