Ttle Com�ission cou_l.d use their o�an d�_scretion as to �,1hether or not
they would choose to postpone it under these circumstances.
Comm. Hirshon sai_d he would agree ro a continuance to obviate any

Mr. Charles Rasmussen, the architect, said the applicant was not

revised on April 24th. They �aould prefer to go �ilead with the
public hearing at this meeting, if possible.
Comm. Puetz wanted to postpone this untii later on in the agenda PostponeTnent

Mr. Burrell Leonard said years ago, ef�ort wa� made tc develop Original overal
80 acres fronting on Stevens Creek Blvd, from �lane_y to tii�nway 9 plan

1 space per 250 square teet of professional office. ��e oifered
to take 8 stalls off Rodrigues and create mere landscapin� there.
Mr. �ob Karpen, 104E3 Chisholm P.veniie, �upertiro, sugoested that
if the bu were rotated, since the property is on a slope,
that long d�stance of par!cing ���ill be more visible.
