The Planning Director said the City Council would like to meet with the Planning Commission in the near future to discuss planning policies, revision of the General Plan, etc. He con- tinued to say that policy meetings in addition to the routine work with applications are very important, and that it is desirable to schedule this meeting as soon as possible. He realized, however, that extra meetings of the Council and vacations would make it difficult to set a date possible for all parties to attend. -1- PC-15 Minutes 0_ the July 10, 1967, Planning Conmlssion Meeting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Following are the Planning Commissioners' scheduled vacations: Comm.

KANE): REZONmG (12-Z-67) from Agricultural-Residential, Single-fami.ly, I-acre lots (Al-43) to Residential, Single-family, 7,500 sq. ft. lots (Rl-7.5), and TENTATIVE MAP (9-TM-67), approx. one acre, located east side of Mount Crest Drive. First Hearing. The Planning Director stated that, from a Planning point of view, there are no problems. The application is for a small parcel sur- rounded by Rl-7.5 on three sides. The Director of Public Works recommended the following condition if the a.pplication is approved: "Precautions on grading operations be made to prevent material from impacting against the fence along Linda Vista Drive." Mr. Ron L. Kane, 11073 Bel Aire Court, Cupertino, said the pads are in, so there should be no need for any more grading. Because of the terrain, it isn't practical to divide this property into more than two lots. The City Attorney advised that the s1Iggested condition could be made a part of the Tentative Map or the engineering plans, but it is not a matter of rezoning. Mr. Karr, 11175 Linda Vista Drive, said he spoke for the homeowners on the north side of this property who are concerned about the development of the property because they already have a runoff problem. They are concerned about the 7500 sq. ft. lot request. He noted that any homes built there will look directly into their bedrooms. He said they would like to see Parcel 2 zoned 1/2 acre and Parcel 1 zoned 10,000 sq. ft. to insure that only one home can be built on each parcel. Vice-Chairman Bryson proposed a zoning that would eliminate the possi- bility of building any more than two homes there. The Planning Director suggested Rl-15, requiring a minimum of 15,000 sq. ft. per lot. -2- PC-15 Minutes of tne July 10, 1967, Planning Commiséon Meeting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Director of Public Works is to review the topography of the area, per the request or Comm. Hirshon. Mr. Thor Johnson, 21827 Terrace Drive, said there has not been any grading done on that property in the past four or five years. Moved by Comm. Horgan, seconded by Comm. Frolich, to close the Public Hearings on application 12-Z-67. Motion carried, 4-0 Moved by Comm. Horgan, seconded by Comm. Frolich, to recommend approval to change the zoning of the parcel described in application 12-Z-67 from Al-43 to Rl-15, with the consent of the property owners. AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Counc. Frolich, Hirshon, Horgan, Bryson None Chairman Buthenuth Motion carried, 4-0 Moved by Comm. Horgan, seconded by Comm. Frolich, to continue application 9-TM-67 to the next regular meeting, to provide the applicant the opportunity to present a grading plan acceptable to the City Engineer. This plan is to show no movement of earth against the fence and is to show an adequate drainage plan. It is also to show additional information regarding topography. Motion carried, 4-0 13-Z-67 B. NORMAN J. NATHANSON (KAY HOMES): REZONING (13-Z-67) from Residential, Single-family, 10,000 sq. ft. lots (RI-IO) to Residential, Single-family, 7,500 sq. ft. lots (Rl-7.5), approx. 37 acres, located south of Junipero Serra Freeway and east of proposed Mary Avenue extension. First Hearing. Mr. Norman Nathanson, l0500 Mary Avenue, Cupertino, said the property to be developed is 33.6 acres; he would retain approxi-. mately 3.3 acres with his home. He has no intention of moving from his home. The Planning Director said that the General Plan indicates medium density (7.3-10.0 dwelling units per net acre), justified by the nearness to the College. On the other hand, we are almost running out of good Rl land, and the balance between Rl and R3 may be upset. He recommended the rezoning, adding that the Planning Department does want to include the three acres which Mr. Nathanson mentioned, in the rezoning as well as on the Tentative Map; otherwise we get into difficulties with the street pattern, street dedications, etc. The three acres can be designed as "Unit 2". -3- PC-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minutes oJ.' the July 10, 1967, Planning COJwJ1Ïssion Meeting The Planning Director also suggested two conditions to protect the quality of Mary Avenue: l. There shall be no direct access from lots to Mary Avenue and only one street access at the foot of the planned ramp to the freeway overcrossing. 2. Slope easements for the aforesaid ramp shall be secured. Vice-Chairman Bryson asked for comments from the audience. There were none. Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Horgan, to close the Public Hearings. Motion carried, 4-0 Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Horgan, to recommend application 13-Z-67 for approval, ,dth the standard conditions plus the two suggested by the Planning Director. Motion and second were withdrawn. Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Horgan, to reopen the Public Hearings on application 13-Z-67. Motion carried, 4-0 Mr. Nathanson said he and the developer are agreeable to one access to Mary Avenue from the development, but as long as he keeps the three acres from being developed, he would like to keep his access to Mary Avenue open. He cited the fa.c.t that on the developed part of Mary Avenue from Stevens Creek Blvd. to Evelyn Avenue, there are driveways onto Mary Avenue. He couldn't see where it would be too harmful to retain his driveway. The Planning Director said that the driveway access to Mary Avenue would be no problem as long as those three acres remain undivided. However, if the three acres were subdivided, the individual lots should have access from one or two cul-de-sacs connecting with Greenleaf Drive. A second street intersection in Mary Avenue would be very undesirable because it would cause problems with signaliza- tion and left-turn lanes. The City Attorney did not feel the 3.3 acres had to be concerned with the rest of the property. The Planning Director then suggested amending the condition to: "The restriction does not apply as long as the 3.3 acres remain undivided." -4- PC-15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minutes ofO"e July 10, 1967, Planning Connni~Jion Meeting The Director of Public Works, in response to a question by the City Attorney, said a back-up policy is not the only criteria for an expressway. Perhaps a back-up policy would not be needed here if there is a full 90' street. It would be a good idea for both aesthetics and traffic control, however. Comm. Frolich said perhaps what the applicant is asking for is two rather than one access to Mary Avenue, to preserve the access for these three acres. Mr. Nathanson said the present map shows only one access to Mary Avenue. In addition, he emphasized that he is asking for retention of his 3.3 acres. Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Horgan, to close the Public Hearings. Motion carried, 4-0 Moved by Comm. Frolich, seconded by Comm. Horgan, to recommend approval of application 13-Z-67, subject to the following conditions: 1-12 Standard Conditions. 13. There shall be no direct access from lots to Mary Avenue and only two street accesaes¡ one ~t the foot of the planned ramp to the freew8¥ overcrossing; the additional street to be located at some point south of the present Nathanson driveway. 14. Slope easements for the aforesaid ramp shall be secured. AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Comm.
