III COMMUNICATIONS
1. Written:
Santa Clara County Flanning Commission
2. Oral:
R. A. Boyd - reauest for clarification of status of access
from Sunrtse to Highway 9. Mr. Boyd came forward with infor-
mation on parking aspects of the Rodrigues Subdivision. He
felt that access to Highway 9 was further reduced by the addi-
tional parking area recently provided.
Boris Stanley, representing Mr. Rodrigues, reported that
his client wishes to expedite the traffic in what ever way the
Planning Commission desires. He acknowledged that the parking
situation was awkward at the moment and repeated that Rodri-
gues was willing to accept any reasonable suggestions. Mr.
Boyd went on record as being opposed to diagonal parking on
Sunrise. He felt that this type parking added to the diffi-
culty and hazard of the traffic situation. It was moved by
Commissioner Bell that the discussion be tabled until June
15th during which interval the ~lanning Commission will look
at the actual traffic conditions; seconded by Commissioner
Neilsen and ~rried S - O.

of plans by the County; seconded by Commissioner Paizis and

architectural and site approval for a service station to be
located on the Kompanica Property, southwest corner of Highway
9 and Homestead Road:

group when he said that the Commission does not question the
building plans, but rather that it is a question of service
stations themselves and the locations accorded them. Chai ,e;!.nl1

located at intersections. He enumerated the princip13 advan-
tages and disadvantages. Commissioner Bell thOllght that m,:¡re
time should be taken before establishing a policy on service
stations.

be damaged. He added that Texaco requested their option be
extended until June 30th. Chairman Leonard declared that

V FURTHER DISCUSSION OF A SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
Mr. Meyerholz referred to the setbacks along Hlghway 9 with
reference to construction on the Spain Prope~ty, wherein a
recent use permit was granted for commercial purposes. Spain
would like to erect a new building in front of tte one
recently constructed" Chairman Leonerd mentioned the setback
figures recently reported by Commissioner Bell and noted there
were some suggestions that the plans for both highway widening
and setbacks honor all existing structures. Chairman Leonard
suggested that Spain ask the County to allow a 751 setback.
If the County allowed, it would be satisfactory to the
Cupertino Planning Commission.
