BUSINESS
Camarda house moving permit - west side of Randy about 400
feet north of Stevens Creek Road.
The house to be moved is prescntly alon[side the Richfield
Station east of Doyle on Stevens Creek Hoad. The movers
propose to go down Handy Lane; the set backs appear to be OK
The survey has been made and the site has been recorded as
a separate parcel. Commissioner Bell suggested that an

Paul Geyer, Inquiry on proposed Garden Apartments west side
of Miller near Stevens Creek Road, 7 lots, up to 140 units.
Inquiry on so~e type of commercial on two acres frontlng on
Stevens Creek Road. The parcel does not have the proper
zoning for this type of development. The present zoning is
R-l: B-2 (single residence t acre minimum lot). These
apartments would probably rCQuire R-4 zoning, with the
Stevens Creek Road frontage now R-J-H changed to C-l-H to
accommodate some type of commercial. The apartments are
intended to be two stories hi¡:h with parking stalls for each
unit, access from the rear; cul-de-sac to provide parking
for non-residents and visitors. The plans submitted to the
Commission were not represented as the actual plans for this
particular set of apartments but were supposed to be a close
resemblance to the buildings planned. Mr. Geyer was asked
to present a more definite plan to the Commission for con-
sideration at subsequent meetings.
