V VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. James Zaleski, 21884 Oakview Lane, Monta Vista, re-
presenting Monta Vista Citizens for Sound Community
Planning, asked the Planning Commission if they would
take a stand on the Use Permit issue coming up before the
County Planning Commission on August 18th, wherein the
prospective buyer intends to build a billiard parlor and
slot-car racing establishment at the corner of Stevens
Creek Blvd. and Mann Drive. The adjacent residents feel
this type of business is not compatible with a single-
family residential area.
The Planning Director asked the Commission for instruc-
tions to answer, should the expected referral from the
County reach him too late for the next Commission meeting.
When the County asked for comments on rezoning this
property to C-2 on May 21, 1965, the Planning Commission
had voted 4-0 to recommend against the rezoning.
Comm. Traeumer recommended action be taken by way of a
Minute Order.
Minute Order: Moved by Comm. Traeumer, seconded by Comm.
Frolich, to instruct the staff to write the
County Planning Commission, recollecting
that the Cupertino Planning Commission
objected to the rezoning to C-2, and that
the Commission further objects to the grant-
ing of a Use Permit for the type of usage
considered for this site,which use would
be incompatible with the nearby residen-
tial area.

VI HEARINGS SCHEDULED:
l6-v-65
M. L. GEISLER: Application for a Variance, to build
a 6' fence along front of the house, at 11094 La
Paloma Drive. First Hearing.
Rev. Geisler explained the lot plan, and the re~sqn they
had purchased this particular house was to have a yard
large enough for their retarded child. They would like
to bring the fence between 20'and 14' from the side-
walk. This will be an oPen picket-type fence; will be
attractive; and an asset to the community.
A.
Chairman Gates. pointed out the 6' height required a
Variance, and asked for comments from the staff.
The Director of Planning and the Chief Building Inspec-
tor have inspected the site and have no objections
in this particular case. The fence does not obstruct
the view from automobiles.
Mrs. Foley, 11124 La Paloma, spoke in behalf of the
applicant, with a plea that the Planning Commission
accept this application.
In answer to Comm. Traeumer's inquiry why the 6' fence
height could not be r,educed to 4', Rev. Geisler replied
that their child was a climber and would be able to
get over, thus a 4'·fence would not be safe.
Moved by Comm. Traeumer, seconded by Comm. Johnson,
that the Public Hearings be closed.
Motion carried, 4-0

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Max Dittman, of James Bre.en Assoc., Millbrae, . repre-
sented the applicant. He said this is a two-lot'subdivi-
sion adjacent to Deep Cliffe Subdivision. Street improve-
ments will be constructed in accordance with the requirements
of the City of Cupertino.
Comm. Traeumer asked about requirements of the right-of-
way and easements at the easterly corner of Lot 2 (on
McClellan); and what provision the City has made concerning
this.
The City Engineer said the secondary access to the golf
course is a private easement. It was once required because
the primary access might be blocked by a realignment of
plan and profile of McClellan Road.
Mr. Dittman said that the County Planning Commission once
required an access to the golf course to McClellan Road
at the upper level. The golf course was then annexed to
Cupertino and was allowed to construct the present entrance.
Comm. Johnson asked if the Planning Commission should make
a decision on this secondary entrance now. The City
Engineer said it would be a substantial cut and fill job,
and these two lots at McClellan would be involved in the
cutting operation. The Planning Director pointed out that
making McClellan Road straight would be excessively costly;
a detour to gain length for the grade would probably be
necessary. If so, the two lots may be located at a dead-
end street.
Moved by Comm. Traeumer, seconded by Comm. Frolich, to
close the Public Hearings.

Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, July 26, 1965
Mr. Leo Ruth, Civil Engineer, 919 The Alameda, San Jose,
represented the applicant and pointed out that City
officials have earlier been in favor of R-l Zoning for
a portion of this property, and also asked for a por-
tion of it for a park site. Applicant is submitting a
revised park site to be approved by the City and a re-
quest for rezoning.
C;mm. Frolich questioned the reason for this' change of
park site and who had requested it. The Plànning Dir.
said that this layout was drawn by the City as a result
of conferences between the City Manager and Mr. Paganini,
the owner of the property, as a reasonable basis for
negotiating the purchase of land for the park. Draw-
backs are that the City gets a long frontage on the
proposed street connecting Portal Avenue and Vicksburg
Drive, with subsequent costs for street construction,
and that the net area for the park would be cut from
5.1 acres to 4.33 acres. However, there are advantages
also, in that it is nice to have a park you can see
from adjacent streets. The Recreation Director is of
the same opinion; that the. relocation has both advantages
and disadvantages, and it is acceptable.
Chairman ·Gates wondered if a 150' wide park strip is
effective, even if it is in conjunction with the school
yard.
The Planning Director said he had made alternative' sketches
at the request of the City Manager, for size and shape
of the planned park. Parking necessary for the park
can be accommodated in the parking lane of the street.
The City Manager has confirmed that the park in its
presently proposed size and shape still meets the re-
quirements for Federal grant. Construction of a con-
nectionthrough the adjacent commercial area to Stevens
Creek Blvd. at the Same time as the development of the
residential area should be made a condition to the
Tentative Map.
Comma Traeumer asked if this. park site has actually
been designated. The Planning Director said the City
has. not bought it, but the site has been selected by
the City Council. The present park zone is shown on
maps accompanying the application. Comm.Traeumer added
that perhaps a Minute Order should ask the City Council
to decide on the park site before the Planning Commis-
sion makes a recommendation on Zoning and Tentative Map.
Chairman Gates remarked that in order to approve the
application, the Planning Commission would have to make
four separate rezonings. Is the proposed relocation
an acceptable park geometry? Comm. Johnson felt it was
of no particular value that people could see the park
from the street and accidents may be caused by children
running out on the street from the park.

Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, July 26, 1965
Comm. Frolich pointed out that the connection of Portal
Avenue with Vicksburg Drive would invite a lot of through
traffic along the park. We should consider a street pat-
tern which would discourage through traffic. He favored
the proposed R-l Zoning, however, and suggested this matter
be continued for two weeks; in the meantime, asking for
comments by the City Council on the change and shape of
this park.
Chairman Gates suggested the Planning Commission give their
recommendations to the City Council on the Tentative Map.
He stated the park plan was first originated by the Recrea-
tion Director and presented to the City Council. It was
then given to the Planning Commission to be rezoned, and
re-submitted to the city Council.
The Pl~nning Director remarked on procedures established
by Ordinance 002(a): Assuming that the Planning Commis-
sion wishes to deny the request for rezoning, and the City
Council subsequently approved the rezoning but desires
changes, then the rezoning will be referred back to the
Planning Commission.
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Chairman Gates, that
the Public Hearings be closed.
Comm. Frolich objected to closing the Hearings for the
reason that people in the area should be given an oppor-
tunity to discuss the park site, but withdrew his ob-
jections.
Motion carried, 4-0
Comm. Johnson commented that if the City Council did
approve the rezoning and the change of the park site
over the decision of the Planning Commission, the appli-
cation would then be returned to the Planning Commission
for further discusslon. He suggested the members of the
Commission appear before the City Council and voice their
opinions, both as a Commission and as interested citizens
of the area, if additional Hearings are required.
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Comm. Frolich, that
application l5-Z-65 be denied, and to hold application
ll-TM-65 pending City Council action.

The reason Comm. Traeumer voted to deny this application
did not mean he is against the zoning in existence; he did
not feel it was within the scope of the Planning Commission
to modify the size and location of the park site; this would
be Council action.

Chairman Gates advised the applicant that the reason
for the denial was the layout of Portal Avenue and
Vicksburg Drive, and the revised shape of the park,
and that the applicant may appeal the decision within
five days to the City Council.
D. ALAN ALAMEDA (Church of Christ): Application for
Rezoning from R-l:B-2 to C-I-H, north side of
Bollinger Road, 500' west of Blaney Avenue. Also
Use Permit for a Funeral Home. First Hearing.
Mr. Gene Lacey, representing the applicant, explained
that a problem has come up within the last few days
which makes it impossible to discuss the application
tonight. The application may possibly be withdrawn.
However, Mr. Lacey requested a continuance until
another meeting.
Chairman Gates suggested that since so many interested
people in the audience were present to hear about this
particular application, perhaps some action other than
a continuance could be taken this evening. He asked
if the representative would present something on the
plans at this meeting.
Comm. Johnson suggested the Commission proceed with
with the first hearing at this time, if the repre-
sentative feels qualified. Mr. Lacey stated that he
has not been supplied with adequate information to
represent the applicant or the piece of property, and
would not like to discuss the application now.
Chairman Gates asked the Commission what happens if the
representative withdraws the application now, and what
happens if he bringB it up at a later date; can he do
so without paying the filing fee? It must then be
advertised; will the applicant have to pay the publish-
ing fee for Hearing? Mr. Lacey said that the applicant
would agree to pay for the advertising.
Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Traeumer, to
continue this application until the next meeting of
the Planning Commission. However, it will be then
postponed or tabled until advertised anew at the re-
quest of the applicant, who is to pay for re-advertis-
ing fees.

It was suggested that application be submitted in the form
of a Use Permit only, not a Rez:oning. There is some
question as to whether restrictions to use as a Funeral
Home only could be made conditions to rezoning application
for the use intended - but they can be attached to a Use
Permit. Rezoning at this property was denied previously,
mainly because of traffic pattern and parking created by
C-l-H. This project may not have the same drawbacks.
E. It was announced this item is to be heard last on the
agenda.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
C, B. ARCHDALE: Application for a Variance to extend
present bui:ding into rear yard, at 20063 Merritt Drive.
The flanning Director stated this appllcation has been
referred back to the Planning Commission by the City
Council for further discussion. The Chief Building In-
spector, on request from the City Manager, had made a
visual inspection of the property to ascertain if a hard-
ship existed here to justify the approval of a Variance.
The applicant has decided to abandon his plans for the
extension, however, and has withdrawn his application.
NEW BUSINESS
81,025.05 A. YMCA: Extension of Park Avenue to Alves Drive.
Mr. Kiser represented the YMCA and submitted a map showing
the location of a proposed YMCA building in Cupertino.
They would like to know jf their project meets with the
approval of the City, so they could get on with the necessary
Rezoning or Use Permit. They are ready to build in three
years, or so. The YMCA would like the Planning Commission
to give them an informal thought on a procedure to be
followed.
Chairman Gates asked Mr. Kiser how the YMCA would fit in
or operate in relation to the Central or Neighborhood Parks.
Mr. Kiser said there are several problems to be resolved
before they can complete their transaction of the pro-
perty, which they have contracted with a Minnie Mae Neilsen.
They would like the assistance of the Commission in work-
ing out these problems:
1) Approval of the location.
-8-
PC-R13
Minutes of the Planning Commission, July 26, 1965
--------------------------------------------------------------
2) Alves Drive extension to Park Avenue. This could
be accomplished if the City would initiate con-
demnation proceedings for which the YMCA would
pay. An easement district would be one method,
but would be too costly and involved, and they
would prefer the condemnation method. They have
offered to pay for the street improvements if
the owner would dedicate the small strip needed
to complete Alves Drive, but have been unsuccess-
ful.
Comm. Frolich recommended the YMCA submit more de-
tailed plans, which the Planning Commission could
discuss at the next meeting when the City Attorney
will be present. He further recommended that the
City Attorney be asked to make a written review and
report for the Planning Commission on this matter for
discussion at the next meeting.
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Comm. Frolich,
that Hearings be continued at a subsequent meeting,
provided the representative for the YMCA has filed
a formal application.
Motion carried, 4-0
Chairman Gates called for a 5-minute break at 9:20 P.M.
81,025.05 B. CITY PLANNER: Neighborhood Plan for area limited
by Stevens Creek Blvd., Stelling Road, and the
Freeways.
The Planning Director demonstrated and commented on
a 1" = 400' preliminary Neighborhood Plan for this
area. Though not in as large scale and with as much
detail as a final proposed plan, it does show recom-
mended residential and other uses, including density,
and a complete street pattern. The Plan is closely
connected with application 8-u-65, but has also
wider implications. No action by the Planning
Commission is required at this time, except to the
extent it has bearing on the aforementioned appli-
cation.
Comm. Johnson related that former Mayor Finch had
met with Sunnyvale and the County some time ago,
and it waS agreed that a study session would be
held to discuss Mary Avenue and an overpass over
Mary Avenue. To date, this meeting has not come
about. Is the City Council planning to have another
session with Sunnyvale, or is Sunnyvale waiting to
hear from the Cupertino City Council?

Comm. Johnson wondered if Cupertino can proceed with any
ideas on a Neighborhood Plan until the issue of Mary
Avenue overpass has been resolved? The entire plan of the
applicant (8-U-65) is based on the assumption that Mary
Avenue is going to overpass the freeway,
The Planning Director said that a meeting had been
scheduled for some date ·in July, but the meeting has not
materialized yet .'" '.
E, VALLEY TITLE COMPANY (Page Properties): Application
for a Use Permit for a 60-acre one-family Cluster
Development within a PC-H z:one, north and east of
Mary Avenue, near Stevens Creek Blvd. Second Hear-
ing continued.
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Comm. Frolich, to
reopen the Public Hearings.
Motion carried, 4-0
Mr. Mittelman asked the Planning Director whether he
had seen any of the drawings of the profiles of the
West Valley Freeway where it borders the Corporation
Yard. The Planning Director answered that preliminary
plans show the north-south traffic on an embankment in
front of the Corporation Yard, and then coming down to
ground level west of the applicant's property.
Mr, Mittelman wished to register publicly his opposition
to the location of the corporation yard where it is now.
Regarding the City Planner's proposed Neighborhood Plan
and its street pattern, he questioned the need for more
outlets from the area than shown in the application. It
is impossible to create the proposed park-like environ-
.ment if they have to connect it with adjacent, older de-
velopments.
Mr, Mittelman stated he had had a series of talks with
the City Planner and the Director of Public Works, which
are a continuance of the earlier discussions in regard to
street sections, etc., and he has included them in the
Revised Development Plan.
Their original application showed the same number of inter-
sections on Mary Avenue as the revised plan; they have re-
duced by 2/3 the number of dwelling units served by these
outlets, There would be no direct access from driveways
to Mary Avenue. In the design of this plan; considera-
tion had to be given not only to the wishès of the buyers
but also the feelings of the various publiC agencies and
lending ~gencies, landscape architects, ànd maintenance
c·ost.s.

Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, 7/26/65
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Planning Director made a resume or his memo,
which has been sent to Mr. Mittelman as well as
the Planning Commissioners, and also made some
other comments. Two schematic plans for "compact"
development around courtyards were presented.
1. Different uses are allowed within a PC-H Zone;
they can be mixed, but must be designated as
corresponding to various z:ones and delineated
on the Development Plan required in a PC-H Zone,
to make it possible to compare the proposed
standards with the requirements of correspond-
ing Zoning Ordinances. The Planning Commission
and the City Council may grant Variances; in-
stead of the regular Variance procedure the
Development Plan itself can be the document
specifying the Variance, but this plan must be
in a bi~ enough scale and precise enough to
clearly show where standards vary.
2. It was suggested during the last Hearing that
R-l with Variances of density, etc., would be
an appropriate use designation. The applicant
prefers R-24-H. Any designation (R-l, R-2-H,
R-24-H, R-3-H, R1C, R2C, R24c, R3C) can be ac-
commodated, with the proper Variances and con-
ditions, though more or less appropriately.
3. An area "A" intended for high-rise apartments is
blank on the presented Development Plan. The
Planning Commission i~y in the future grant a
higher density than D.U./gross acre, to com-
pensate for the lower density in the now-pre-
sented plan; this cannot be guaranteed, however,
as no plan for area "A" is included now. No
blank check5 should be signed by the Planning
Commission or the City Council.
4. Width of moving lanes could be adjusted to
traffic load. Parking lanes might be omitted,
if it is proven that adequate parking is pro-
vided elsewhere. Sidewalks might be omitted,
if as direct and convenient walkways are pro-
vided in the Common Area, but space must be
provided for electroliers, etc.
5. The proposed section of Mary Avenue is unsatis-
factory, and there are too many intersections,
which would create accidents; compare the inter-
sections of Highway 85 with Rodrigues Ave., etc.

Minutes of the' Planning Commission Meeting, July 26, 1965
6. Though it is recogniz:ed that in order to be saleable
the proposed development must be self-contained and
turn its back on adjacent County developments, this
should not be done to the extent of impairing reason-
able local street interconnections.
7. The presented plan tries to combine the houses-in-a-
park concept with an "open" concept from the car en-
trance side. While this would work well in a low-
density area, it is a serious risk that the combination here
would result in narrow passages between buildings, which
might give the impression of a cheapened R-l develop-
ment, However, if further studies show it would not
be so, so much the better. Alternat :tV@ ·scheinatic' plans
with a "closed" design presented by the City Planner
are not intended as a counter-proposal, only as an
illustration that by sacrificing the aesthetics at
the car entrance side, more open space can be gained.
8, Detailed studies usually result in a "swelling," that
would result in less open sr,ace. The applicant has
assured, however, that any 'swelling" would be offset
by other "shrinkage."
9. The applicant has a legitimate interest in getting an
intermediate decision by the Planning Commission.
Different ways to do so are outlined in the afore-
mentioned memo.
Mr. Mittelman complimented the Planning Director on his
memo, in which be summarized his suggestions and recommen-
dations to the Planning Commission for their decision, and
for the schematic plans. He pointed out that a detailed
Development Plan would be submitted with the Tentative Map,
which will show the first phase of the development, but
the developer would like some sort of approval now, before
spending too much tlme and money on further detailed
studies. Mr.. Mittelman stated there were provisions in
the Planning Director's memo how the Planning Commission
could proceed with an intermediate decision, as they con-
cerned density, designation of use, adherence to require-
ments in the Cluster Ordinance, and street patterns and
street widths. Mr. Mittelman added that the R-24-H use
designated. is the use that was originally enacted on when
the Zoning was granted. He feels the Cluster Ordinance
is vague as to this type of development; however, he has
no objection if the Planning Director wants to follow the
Cluster Ordinance, although this Ordinance seems to deal
more with town houses than with the development envisioned
here.
In answer to Comm. Traeumer, Mr. Mittelman said that the con-
flict with the Cluster Ordinance is in distance between
buildings, siz:e of lots, windowless walls, etc.

Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, July 26, 1965
Mr. Mittelman added that the houses in this proposed
development will have a far better standard than a
normal development, and this will be a very prestige
type of community, where people will get the maximum
use of their houses. The applicant showed slides of
similar type of street patterns which are now in use
in Menlo Park. He indicated the houses would be
1500 - 2000 sq. ft., primarily in two-story dwellings,
some in one-story.
Chairman Gates asked if the applicant wished to have
the Planning Commission now approve this Use Permit,
which will be followed by a Tentative Map at a later
time. The applicant agreed that this was what they
hoped for.
The Director of Public Works advised the Commission
that, in order to accomplish what the applicant has
set forth in his plans, two points would need some
thought: 1) Will we permit "alley" gutters, and
2) Can we go along with the philosophy of use of the
sidewalk area also for parking. Perhaps the Planning
Commission should make a personal inspection to de-
cide whether this type of street pattern could be
suitable.
Mr. Mittelman said the Development Plan and the Tenta-
tive Map could be submitted 3-4 months after approval
by the City Council. This plan is conditioned to Mary
Avenue going through. If it did not, the traffic pat-
tern would not be changed, but there might be a wider
setback between roadway and house.
The Planning Director said that it should be assumed
that Mary Avenue would eventually go through, if the
capacity is needed.
Comm. Traeumer said he would prefer this application be
granted under a R24c rather than R-24-H with Variances,
as certain restrictions can be added to a Cluster
Ordinance which cannot be done in a R-24-H use.
Chairman Gates said his feeling on the Cluster Ordinance
was that the Planning Commission's soul went into its
ordinance and had he considered the type of development
which the applicant is requesting, he would have pro-
moted this type when writing the Ordinance.
Moved by Comm. Johnson that the Public Hearings be
closed. Motion died for lack of a second.
