IV BACKMAN MATTER
A Shell engineer presented a proposed plan for the gas station
which provided for pump islands to be set back further when the
highway is widened. The engineer estimated that construction
would take about three months. Mr. Backman said that he is
satisfied to abide by the same conditions required of Eldridge
and Texaco. It was moved by Commissioner Cali that the matter
be tabled unt 1 the outcome of the Eldrid e a lication is known"
seconded by Commissioner Paizis, carried - O. In order to
acquire a uniform set back the one stgtion would have to be
settled before the other could be determined.
V AHT ELLIS
Mr, Ellis reported that he reQuested multiple zoning of the County
for his property just outside the City Limits. The County
requires that the City approve any plans so close to its own
border. In this way the County would respect the plans of each
municipality. Mr, Ellis said that the County approves his request
for their part but doesn't want to approve anything contrary to
the Cupertino Planning Commission.
With regara'to general plans for Blaney Avenue it was felt that
proper storm drainage along the Avenue would clear it for a small
subdivision which in turn might encourage a sewer line down the
street. Commissioner Bell moved that we table the Ellis request
until the next meeting at which time Mr, Ellis would present an
acreage plan,
,1 VISTICA APPLICATION
Mr. Vistica stated his willingness to deed enough property to
make Bollinger 90 feet and Blaney 60 feet. This amounts to a
dedication of about one acre. He reported that the City Manager
of Sunnyvale had given him permission to connect to the sanitary
Sewer on the east side of Blaney, The nearby storm drain has no
more capacity but Mr. Vistica thought that the Calabazas channel
~ould handle the runoff.
Çommissioner Cali explained that the problem does not lie entire-
:y within the jurisdiction of the City but that the County would
have to take steps before Cupertino can solve the problem even
assuming it has the finances, At the present time it would
appear that the City cannot offer much help with the drainage
at this particular point.
Mr. Vistica estimated the buildings at 40,000 square feet, This
would make a parking ratl~ of 4 - 1. The total construction cost
he estimated at $435,000.
