Mr. Fred Dole, the �,s°chitect for this project� presented the application
stating that this was a 17 acre site and one th�,t was most difficult to
develop as it shows a 15°fo grade and the construction of single fa.mily
units would be near impossible. Howeve�, it was his proposal that
steel racks be used supported by stee�. trusses at each end with four
present- different groupings of buildings served by elevators. Parked caxs
ation would not be uisible from the stree�e The lower portion of the con-
structions runSto the crest of the hill �,nd leaves �.t undisturbed.
Further� that each unit would ha.ve a divided, individual patio which
would be surfaced for the use of tpees and boxed. plants. The recreation
area to be for the tenants` use only �nd the landscaping to be all around
the construction, erosion protected. Mr. Do�� �tated tl�at the project
is planned for one hundred units.
Considerable discussion ensued relative to t'he necessity for dedication
and street improvements and Mr, Dole stated th�.t there would be a
divided boulevaxd with a 90 to 120 foot Right-of-Way. �he Commissioners
queried how the �nits would be serviced in cases of fire and if there
would be a fire protective system.o N!�°. Dol� maintained that the
discussions buildings would natura].ly be firepr.00f that each unit would be equipped
with a fire extinguisher and that h� d�d nc�� t�air�k th�,t there was a
nece�sity for sprinklers in t'h� units, ho�r�ver, that all such matters
would be worked out with the Fir� Mars�ial prior �o px°oceedin�. Mr.
Do1e continued that the axea woul.d b� ].a,�d.scaped and that °�Y�is wat�r-
treated planted ax°e�. would reduce the danger of extendin� i�rush fires .
Questions were raised relative to the parking spaces, their number and
th�ir location and the staff indicated th�ir requirement� relative to
request for various mattersa Chaix°m.an Frolich� while �skin� �hat discussions be
discussion kept to a bare minimum becau�e of - the l�n�h of° �i�e li��ed agenda,
stressed however, that all mat�ers per�air�in� t� th�� app�ication
should be reviewed at this meeting so that since he antieipated a
second heaxing an the matter the staff co�xl.d attend °to all ma.tters
in the interima and the applicant woul� have a ehance �to do th� same.
D�aring the conversations it became �,pp�.rent �hat the applicant was
requesting ar_ R3 Cluster zoning, and °tYae staff° y°elated that the
intent applicant was asking for an indication of °the Pl.annin� Covmaission's
outlined pleasure in connection with the proposed concept� the d.ensity and
the prezoning.
Mrs .�Ioss from 5tevens Car�yon Road �sked �that the applicant be advised
of the fact that there axe two quax°ries operating �ig'ht above the
proposed construction and that tenants shou3d be made aware of this
existing fact since both quarries have a,ll good in�entions of stayin� in
quarries business a,t their existing sites. She also �tatecl that ther� axe
pointed out a number of very dangerous tux°ns on this road and, with the existing
heavy truck traffic, a�i�n "Truck Route" should be posted con-
spicuously and pointed out to prospective tenants.

Mr. Dryer ma.intained that �,n additiona:t service �tation was needed in
this area as it provides the travellin� public wi�h rest rooms, gasoline
points services, traffic and directional maps� and would most likely ind.uce the
stressed service station on the northeas� corner of Stel�.ing Road and Ste�rens Creek
Boulevax°d which, in hgs opinion, was most un��.g�t1y, to upgrade the
operation or bow to the competition and g�t out �f br�siness,
Co�nissioner Puetz asked if the applican� kne�r how m�n,y service stations
there are presently located within a t�ree-mi�.e r�ditzs of the proposed
questions p�oject and, upon receiving a negat3ve x°ep1y, con�inued that there
are at least twelve such stations which nurnber, in his opinion, precluded
the need for another service st�tion.
(Note by st�,f°fe Within a two-mile ra�.ius there �.re thir�y-two (32)
stations in Cupertino and Monta Vista alone).
Considerable discus�ion ensued after Mz°. Puetz' statement and the
staff staff was asked for their opinion. Assistan� Planner Nuzum referred
cautions to a previously submit�ed wx°itten repor�t on the subject and reiterated
the points raised sta�ing th�t� if this �ppyication were approved, it
would result in "strip commerci�,l" a�d "Spo�" zon�.�g i:� an otherwise
completely non-committed area.
It was the consensus among the Corrnnissioners that this axea is prime
land, as yet nonmcommitted, °that t��s pi operty is ir� t�.e i�nediate
non-con- vicinity of De Anza College, and t�a� a m�ch mor� suita�le use could
formity be found for this land. Commissioner Bu �ta�,ed that �.fter
to gener having ascertained the selection of inedi�n densi�ty f�ar th�.s property
p].an on the General Plan, a].]_owin� a comm�rc�.�l �onin� fo�° a piece of land
sets a precederrt in addition to allowing �n �nc�mpat�.ble u�e.
Several, members of �he audience, after having been authorized by
audience Chairman Frolich to do so, voiced their objections to Y) another service
comments station in Cupertino and 2) ��trend�setting p�ec�dent in allowing
commercial use of an Rl zoneo
Once again - the applzcant pleaded that �,11 ma�ters be considered and
plea that this application not be dismissed �r°bitraz°ily a� �, request for
just "one more servic� station".
p.h. Commissioner Buthenuth moved� Commissioner Irwin �econded �.nd it was
closed passed �ananimously that the Pu.bl.ic He�x°ing b� cl.osed.
16-Z-68 Co�ssioner Ir�in moved to der�y Application� 16�Z-68 and l�+-U-68 on
1+�-U- the basis that this would be the start o� a�trip comanercial zoning in
denied an area as yet non-comma.tted. Commissioner �iirshon secondede
