Chairman Leonard read a copy of City Council Resolution
No. 32, a resolution of the City of Cupertino establishing
a policy on certain pUblic land and buildings lying within
the limits of the City. Mr. Glen Taylor, purchaser of the
2i acres of school property east of El Vista inquired
whether the proposed rezoning, if effected, would apply to
his property. Glen Atkinson, representing the School
Board, furnished the schools opinion on the matter, which
in brief amounted to the fact that the State required the
District to realize as great a price as possible from the
sale. He said that the land surrounding the school..build-
ing itself and still remaining to be sold totaled 3.2 acre:
After a short discussion, Commissioner Bell moved that the
Plannin~ Commission recommend to the C~QQ1l that the
portion of the school property already sold be excluded frf
any rezonin~ at this time and retain its R-3-H status;
seconded by Commissioner Neilsen and carried 5 _ O.
Commissioner Paizis then moved that the resolutiol
be returned to the Council for clarification inasmuch as
the land in Question was not clearly defined; seconded by
Commissioner Neilsen and carried 3 - 2, Commissioners Bell
and Cali opposed.
IV UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. The matter of the Eldridge application W8S considered alon€
with storm drainage in the immediate area plus the eventual
street system. It was the consensus of opinion that
Silverado is not suitable as a through street; it can hard-
ly be widened with the houses already in existence on eithf
side. An east-west road between Highway 9 and the eastern
section of the City, in the neighborhood of Blaney or MillE
is definitely a problem. No obvious solution ap~ears,sinct
projection of MCClellan would run into ditch trouble plus
property line trouble, McClellan itself W<JS cOllsidered
appropriate as a 90' right-or-way in time to come. Chair-
man Leonard suggested that Eldridge be notified, in keepin€
with the prior agreements, whereupon Commissioner Bell
moved that an appropriate letter be drafted at the eariiest
~sible moment and forwarded to Eldrid~e. thus lnform_n~
him of the rpmainin~ undecided details; seconded by Com-
missioner Neilsen and carried 5 - o.

removal after November 6. A ~lO fee was placed on this
account and Mr. Leonard suggested return of same when the
sign was removed. Commissioner Cali made such a motion;
seconded by Commissioner Paizis and carried 5 - o.
