modification.of a planned developaent sign program for a -coma a;®ffice
complex. Property is located at the northeast Quadrant of De Angn;.Apulevard
and Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Presentation: Marc Pettibone
'Ae Committee ascertained that the proposed aiodification would not increase
the overall advertising surface area of the free-standing sign as previously
approved, but would reorganize the layout of information presented, and add
a fourth tenant name panel.
The Committee agreed that the principal issue to be addressed in this application
is the propriety of allowing four tenant names on the sign. Section 6.03.6
of Ordinance 746 restricts the total number of tenant signs permitted on a
ground sign to three (3). Mr. Pettibone pointed out that all tenants in the
Pacific Valley Bank building depend on the free-standing sign for identification
on the street; i.e. no building mounted signs are used on this site, as such
would tend to detract from the appearance of the structure.
Staff noted that a "functional list" as described in the aforementioned ordinance
section, rather than specific tenant names, might solve the identity problem
within ordinance limitations. Chairman Bond sL bgested use of rotating tenant
name panels as another possible alternative. Tliaye ideas were rejected by
Mr. Pettibone as inadequate identification.

INFORMAL REVIEW OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT USE PERMIT APPLICATION:
4-U-79 State Mutual Savings and Loan Association - Use permit- to allow
construction of a 10,000 sq. ft. commercial/office building and 24
to--mhouse/condominium units. Said property is located on the
southwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Finch Avenue.
Consensus of Committee concerns:
1. Method of controlling heat reflection into adjoining housing
units from paved courtyards.
2. Insufficient setback from Finch Avenue of Unit 22 and the easterly
corner of the saving and loan building.
The Committee expressed concern that their informal review comments are not
receiving due consideration at the Planning Commission level, and requested
staff to label Committee comments in a separate section heading of Commission
staff -reports.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
The Committee discussed possible future alternatives for its function, including
the prospect of deleting its current form of existence and incorporating design
review at the Planning Commission level. After some discussion of the matter,
the Committee concluded that a "sunset law" would net be in the best interest
of the community at this time, but that the Committee's citizen design review
effectiveness could be enhanced by further refinement of Urban Design Guidelines
contained in the General Plan Land Use/Community Character Element, and by early
input to the Planning Commission on matters of community design importance.
The Committee agreed to undertake a study session on a date to be determined
for purposes of detailed review of the aforementioned Urban Design Guidelines.
NEW BUSINESS: None

Presentation; Noel Marquis, Amcoe Sign Co.
Marvin Lee, Cornish & Carey
The applicant had been requested by ASAC at the previous meeting to demonstrate
a signing approach which met constraints of the Sign Ordinance, prior to
reaching a decision as to whether a ground sign was essential.
Accordingly, the applicant presented two wall sign schemes, one utilizing a
can approach and the other consisting of individual letters. There was
general agreement among Committee members that given these feasible alternatives,
there was no basis for the granting of an exception. Since a uniform sign
program for the site is not required (single-tenant building) , staff has the
ability to approve either of the wall signs. There was a consensus; however,
among ASAC members that the individual lettering approach was desired, despite
its greater economic expense. A major component of this reasoning is that
the length dimensions of the can sign exceeded that of the individual lettering
approach, and thus construed a greater overall signing area.
Noel Marquis and Marvin Lee expressed the opinion that any wall sign would detract
from the aesthetics of the building. The Committee concurred with this statement,
but determined that this comprised insufficient grounds for an exception.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience; there were none forthcoming.

Presentation: :uric Pettibone
The applicant had been requested by ASAC at the Previous meeting to demonstrate
a signing approach which met constraints of the Sign Ordinance, prior to
reaching a decision as to whether a ground sign was essential.
The Committee generally_preferred the chimney-mounted sign, but felt the colors
were very bold. However, 'Mr. Pettibone indicated that this solitary sign was
insufficient, as vehicles travelling east could not see-such a sign until they
were in very close pro*imity to the building, and past the driveway entrance.
The Committee asked Mr: Pettibone to verify this situation.
A question then arose as to whether the site necessitated aground sign or
two wall-mounted signs (north and west elevations).. it was determined that
Mr. Pettibone would explore different ground sign options, as the Committee
did not concur with proposed concepts, and that he would also e:=lore
alternative signs for the west elevation which would not seriausiv detract
from the building's aesthetics.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience; there were :cone forthcoming.

Mr. Coleman displayed a movie of similar median landscaping design measures
present in Santa Clara Valley.
The ASAC members requested that the .`inal landscape plan be returned for
their review when completed.
In suaanar.7, there was a unanimous concurrence among the Committee members

Presentation: James H. Coleman, Landsc$pe Architect
_ t a
It was ascertained that the- plans j leas reviewed ,this event were
therefore further ASAC review is necessary..
After considerable discussion, it was. determined by ,.the Committee, that the
elaborate trellis work was not proposed appropriate ,for the median,_ .as it was
a very pedestrian-oriented detail. Mr. Coleman indicated-that' he w6au therefore
utilize a modified trellis design which did not contain the massiveness -of the
current proposal.
Mr. Coleman and the Committee discussed the feasibility of locating additional
trees or shrubs in the trellis areas. It was Mr. Coleman's opinion that
these vicinities should have a different character than the dense tree clusters
proposed elsewhere throughout the median.
It was agreed that a revised plan would reflect a greater proportion ,of.evergreen
trees for that narrow 500 ft.+ median strip in proximity to Stevens Creek Boulevard,
and that a different evergreen variety would be incorporated into, ,said area.
The Committee was in favor of the City of Cupertino sign concept, but-requested
® that Mr. Coleman explore alternative groundcovers with a low profile for this
vicinity.

ordinance section,orlexception to Section 6.03.1 of Ordinance 746 to
permit two building-mounted signs on a site which does not meet the criteria
specified in said ordinance section. Property is located on the south

Presentation: Marc Pettibone '
Staff presented a new free-standgng sign (F 3rd Revision) and building-mounted
signing approach (F-2 lst Revision and P-4 lst Revision) which had been
submitted earlier that day to the Planning Department. Colors and sines
presented thereon reflected a more subdued approach than the previous submittals
by Mr. Pettibone.
Member Irvine noted his preference for the monument sign which utilized
plexi.glass letters set into wood. It was his opinion that the 'building s
unfavorably suited for two mounted signs, and that a visibility hardship
was certainly evident on subject site. Member Ripp ititger agreed w th-s er
Irvine's justification for a ground sign, but felt that the letter size
was excessive.
Member Sallan stated that the least variation from the provisions of
Ordinance 746 would result from approval of the building mounted signs
(alternative exception request). She questioned the proliferation of
ground signs which was being created ;long this portion of Stevens Creek
Boulevard. Member Sallan further noted that with further design efforts,
it was possible to create an attractive roof-overhang sign. Member Johnson
agreed that building-mounted signage was preferable to a monument sign.
Staff discussed potential design techniques to increase the aesthetics of the
building mounted signs, and described the conceptual function of the boulevard
as being primarily transportation-oriented, and not a means for advertising.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience; there were none forthcoming.
Moved by Member Irvine, with a second by Member Ripplinger, that Application
HC-51,206.3 be recommended for approval to permit a ground sign for a
restaurant on a site which does not meet the "200-Rule" criteria.specified in

employment with Four-Phase Systems.
Mr. Galiata explained that Four-Phase was interested in creating a stronger
identity for their building by locating their main sign in a central position.
Further, he stated that a large directional sign was necessary for visibility
purposes.
Staff discussed previous ASAC approva_s of three 90 sq. ft. sites for the
adjacent Four-Phase headquarters site. The Committee conceded their concern
with the massiveness of th---.se signs, and thus compromised with Mr. Galiata
to achieve an overall reduction in signage fcr the two sines.

Informal Review
1. Proposed Office Condominium Complex,Stevens Creek Boulevard
Presentations: David Simas, Developer
John Ellis, Phase Pour Design
Staff presented this preliminary proposal to the committee with a
request for review of architectural concepts. It was explained that ..
the proposal had not yet been formally submitted for review by the
Planning Commission or City Council and that the present informs]:
ASAC discussion was requested because of potential architectural
compatahility concerns raised by staff.
Mr. Simas discussed the nature of the proposal, stating that the. ,
"Country English" design constituted a very merchandfsoble ,concept•
He expressed west news ; for .traditional Spanish modes :of .archttec e.
Mr. SImas was of the opinion that architectural styled throughout-, ,
Cupertino were so varied that it was impossible to define a ,cQmpoa
theme. Chairman Bond agreed that the mixture precluded any par-ta . _
icular style from being predominant. Member Johnson stated that it
was not possible to wake an argument of compatability.
Member Sallan questioned whether the proposed location is the best
setting for this design, as it is almost certain that future
projects will not resemble; this style. It was emphasized that quality
of this proposal was not an issue. Staff raised the paint that certsin
elements do tend to tie together the existia physical environment.
Member Sallan felt that staff has raised a valid issue. She felt some
discomfort with the degree to which this proposal would blend with the
city.
Mr. Simas stated that a very significant landscape plan would provia,. a
a buffer between this project and other sites, and that the effect
would achieve an overall softening of the appearance. The Committee
agreed that this design technique was essential.
Chairman Bond wished to go on record stating that the had no concerns
with the proposal. Members Sallan and Johnson agreed that the proposal
has the potential to be very attractive and unique; however, they,
expressed same reservation regarding satisfactory blending of the. _-
architectural features with the surrounding community. Member Johnson
further stressed the importance of landscaping measures for this site.

Park. Dice Chaftman Johnson agreed with this position
Visibility of Roof-Mounted gduiyment
Mr. Erwin stated that great efforts had been made to loner the height of
these appurtenances, and that Vallco Fashion Dark was satisfied with the
proposed results.
Member Sallan expressed the opinion that the restaurant should have
adhered to ASAC Standard Condition No. 3 by modification of the interior
space. The architects for th_ts project explained that the irregular
shape of this space hindered such a modification.
Mr. Altuna stated that the re-location of subject roof-mounted equip-
ment further away from the roofliue can be done within constrants of the
building code; however, the extension of lateral ducts does increase the
potential fire hazard if the ducts are not meticulously cleaned and
maintained.
Slides of the area were shown to the committee.
Member Ripplinger felt that the numerous small equipment boxes would
have minimal public visibility. After a lengthy discussion, Members
Sallan and Johnson agreed with this philosophy. However, it was det-
ermined that the very large kitchen exhaust unit should be moved back
to the greatest extent possible, subject to Bu.11ding Departmec4 approval.
It was clarified that this; moderate approach was recommended because
increased fire hazard potentials did not warrant extev.sive revisions.
Skylight
Mr. Altuna assured the Committee that the peaked-roof skylight would not
be visible to the public. The Committee members therefore agreed to this
design, contingent upon the assumption expressed by Mr. Altuna.
Vice Chairman Johnson requested comments from the audience; there

1. Application HC-51,392.7 - Four-Phase F, 3tems, Inc. requesting approval of
installation of a trash compactor unik at a light industrial site. 10700
North De Anza Boulevard.
Presentation: Joe Galiata, Four-Phase Facilities Manager
Bob Park, Four-Phase Facilities Department Engineer
Joe Renati, Los Altos Garbage Company
Member Johnson a1-stained from this agenda item due to a conflict of interest.
Staff distributed copies of the August 17, 1979 letter from Vincent Kemble,
Larry Way resident, concerning the Four-Phase site. The Committee then
proceeded to review this letter.
Mr. Galiata explained the actions recently taken by Four-Phase to correct
the existing noise problems stated by Mr. Kemble. First, the custodial
service staff hours have been shifted slightly so that all servicing will be
completed by 8:00 p.m. Secondly, the Los Altos Garbage Company has been
admonished to begin pickup operations no earlier than 7 a.m., as per the
Municipal code. Mr. Renati of the garbage company verified that the hours
would be maintained. Staff further stated that the City Manager has consult-
ed with the garbage company regarding compliance with Municipal Code require-
ments.
Operational details of the proposed compactor were discussed by the applicants
and Mr. Renati. The unit will reduce pickups to one pickup every two days,
approximately. The entire unit will be taken to the dump and returned in
approximately 1.5 hours. The unit's cycle is 45 seconds, and will run
whenever its 3 cubic yard storage space is filled (perhaps one time every
15 minutes with several long periods of inactivity each day). Concentrated
compaction may occur between 5r30 p.m. - �:00 p.m. The unit will be utilized
for all items except computer paper and cardboard which will be recycled.

Minutes of August 23, 1073 A.S.A.C. Eet�$6cot►8ianaed)
Chaim Bond requested comments from the audience. Two Larry Way tessAents
were present.
Mr. Boyd Johnson, 10627 Larry Way, urged that the compactor should be sited
north of the Four-Phase buildings. Bob Park explained that a material flow
problem would result from such a situation, as the northerly area is very
congested .in the afternoon (shipping is situated in that vicinity) when
janitorial cleanup would be occurring. Mr. 0aliata further stated that a mayor
circulation system modification would be required if the unit was situated I a
northerly vicinity, and that such a traffic flow change would render the
project economically unfeasible.
Mr. Henry Zetchok, 10642 Larry Way, felt that he was speaking for everyone in
his neighborhood when he stated he did not want to be subject to any Increase
in noise from the Four-Phase site. He suggested locating the unit within the
receiving area of the building. Mr. Park explained that physical space was
not available.
The Committee discussed the situation at length, and determined that a careful
noise study should be conducted immediately subsequent to installation of the
compactor, as per staff report recommendations. This acoustical assessment
would ascertain the validity of the noise report, and ensure that Larry Way
residents are not subjected to noise emanating from the compactor. Further,
on-going restrictions specified by Condition 11 of the staff report would
provide protection to both residents and the applicants in the event of future
problems.
Because of concerns regarding noise which occurs during pickup of the compactor
unit, the applicants and Mr. Renati agreed that such activity would closely
coincide with peak morning traffic levels. A condition was added to this
effect.
Mr. Boyd Johnson stated that noise was a problem during 3:30 - 8:00 p.m.
janitorial cleanup services, as retracting metal doors were constantly is
motion. The Four-Phase Facilities Manager agreed to modify operations some- i
what so that the doors would open no more than six times during this period.
Mr. Johnson felt this was an acceptable solution. A condition pertaining to
this matter was included.
Chairman Bond moved to close the public hearing; this motion was accepted.
Moved by Member Sallan, with a second by Member Ripplinger, to recommend '
approval of Application HC-51,392.7 subject to conditions contained in
Resolution No. 903.

sion, the Committee determined that the location and ratio of compact stalls
was permissible.
The applicants suggested that a wood shake roof be installed on Building A

In order to accommodate the necessary parking stall *widths and to provide
for additional landscape areas, the Architectural and Site Approval Committee
agreed to permit the deletion of six stalls from the site and to provide for
several compact stalls. The parking ratio will therefore be reduced from
2.31 to 2.21. Specific permissible locations were delineated by the
Committee for stall reductions and compact sizes.
The Committee was not concerned with privacy impacts upon patio units
adjacent to the common open space area.
Considerable discussion regarding the Lazaneo Drive frontage occured.
It was determined that landscaping in the vicinity of the northerly parking
area should be substantially increased and that the wall should be a
maximum of 4 ft. high. Mr. Jim Mills, acoustical consultant, stated that a
high wa.I in this vicinity was not essential. Other sound attenuation
measures will be provi4,_,d for in working drawings submitted at the building
permit level.
In answer to staffs query, the architect for the project stated that a
sound wall, depicted in Exhibit B, will be deleted at the building permit
level.

The appi cant presented two models of the future Ski Any Mountain build ,
one which had previously received ASAC approval and the other which reprinted
a proposed modification to east and north exterior elevations.
Staff explained that this item was brought informally to AS!; due to the signi-
ficant nature of changes proposed. Mr. Steinberg noted that energy cwAservation
and overall height reduction were the purposes of these revisions.
The Committee discussed the proposal and unanimously &,,reed that the chances
were satisfactory.

Staff placed this item ou the agenda to permit Committee discussion of Conditions

advise the Committee of building permit applications for each individual lot
within the subdivision.

TILE ROOF:
Staff reviewed the background of this application and concerns previously
expressed by the Committee at the meeting of July 19, 1979.
Mr. Finnerty explained that the blue tile represents the national
identity of Benihana. In addition, the blue ^alor would provid< a
destinctive identity to the restaurant, an important consideration when
the shopping center is closed and Benihana is open for business.
In summary, the blue tile is essential to a profitable enterprise.
Mr. Ward stated that the Oriental atmosphere of Benihana is a. pos tive
feature for the many foreign visitors to Cupertino.

Minutes of October 4, 1979 A.S.A.Ci {+Caaatiaed# ' qkx ,
Member Ripplinger believed t' -it a business should rely on a alga rather thta blue
tile for adequate identity. Chairman Bond was surprised that Vallco would approve
this feature.
Member Sallan felt that there was no justification for this request. Her reaction
was that while a blue roof may be appropriate in the context of a separate
building, it would interrupt the visual peace of the clean Vallco lines. She
stated that the applicants had not followed the Crumzittee's previous advice to
strive for a compatible nature.
Member Morrison was not particularly concerned with the issue of the the color,
but did express a preference for the lowering of the entry structure's appearance.
Member Johnson asked the applicant if any attempt had been made to revise the original
proposal. Mr. Altuna responded that Benihana firmly believed in the blue the image.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience; there were none forthcoming.
Signing:
Staff expressed concern pertaining to the size of the proposed sign. Member Sallan
also was concerned with the proposed square footage.
Discussion ensued regarding individual lettering; it was concluded that ivory
lettering would be more intensive than the current proposal. A determination was
made that the proposed sign would provide a balance with the adjacent I. Magnin's
signing.
Recommendations:
Moved by Member Ripplinger, with a second by Member Sallan to recommend denial of
the blue color of the exterior the element, based upon findings as expressed in

homes. Said property is situated at the northeast corner of Foothill
Boulevard and McClellan Road in a P (Planned Development with single-
family intent) zone.
Presentation: Russ Hayes, Industrial Noise
Jim Mills, Acoustical Services-
Architectural and Site Approval Committee had concerns with only two
aspects of this application: noise problems associated with an adjacent
lounge, and visual intrusion potentials from Unit 3.
Mr. Mills explained that the cocktail lounge has no live entertainment
or windows. His professional opinion is that a proposed sturdy wood
fence along the northeasterly property line would preclude nuisance noises.
Staff raised a visual privacy concern not expressed in the staff report,
by suggesting a six-foot distance between floor and sill of upper story,
north elevation windows of Unit 3. The Committee and applicants agreed
with this recommendation.
Chairman Band requested comments from the audience; there were none

Presentation: Michael Del Monaco
Andrew Perolio
The restaurant is currently under construction. It has become obvious
that a large vent is necessary for a boiler unit; subject, unit would '
be visible from De Anza Boulevard. Staff was concerned with this
feature, and thus brought it to the Committee's attention. It was
determined that this problem could be mitigated by:
(1) painting the vent to match the background
(2) piacing a cluster of three trees in this vicinity
(3) ascertaining from a mechanical engineer whether the unit can be
reduced in height.

6. Application HC-51,296.41 - Koll Company (Alpha Beta) - requesting approoill of
modification co landscaping for a new shopping cener.
Presentation: Bob Linsey, Koll Company Contractor
Staff presented an overview of the lndscaping issue. It was stated that the Koll
Company had violated a City requirement for Bandley Drive mounding, by installing
a level planting bed in that vicinity. Staff explained the De Anza Boulevard
Conceptual Plan guidelines for this area, as well as providing for Committee
review the previously approved landscape plan. slides of the site were shown, and
also of the Sizzler Restaurant mounding scheme.
Mr. Lindsey argued that the following reasons explained this violation:
' He "blew it"
® 2. Mounding would obsure the Alpha Beta building from BandW Drive.
3. Koll Company is planning to place a building on a triangular-shaped
lot adjacent to Bandley Drive. Drainage problems would result
from the close proximity of a mound to this building.
'Lbe Committee took the position that this problem requires rectification that could
not, at this time, be met by planting of additional trues and shrubs as proposed
by Koll Company.
It was noted that a landscape bond is being held by the City of Cupertino for this
project.
Two options were agreed upon by -Committee members:
1. Install mounding,;and bond would be released.
2. Retain bond. If applicant has not obtained City approval of new
building within a six month period, mound shall be installed.
Mr Lindsey stated that these options would-be presented to the Koll Company. He
was advised of the appeals procedure to the City Council.
7. Application HC-51,070.1 - (Bethel Lutheran Church) - requesting approval to delete
the requirement for landscaping along the westerly property line of subject site.
Presentation: Robert Benson
Mr. Benson explained that he would perfer additional street frontage landscaping
rather than planting along the westerly property line. The Committee discussed
this modification, and ck .tcluded that the proposal was satisfactory.

8. ApplicAtion HC-51,015.22 Mardesich Company
Presentation: Hick Mardesich
Staff explained that Mr. Mardesi& plane significant revisions to his building
located within the Crossroads Center. Normally such modifications would trigger
site and landscape improvements. However, staff supports the concept of delaying
such improvements for a six month period, as it appears evident that a new wilding
will be proposed within the Center duping that time; it would be more opportune
to plan revisions to the entire site at that time. &. Mardesich is Milling to
sign a statement verifying that if he has not submitted new building plans to the
City by the end of six months, he will install full permimeter landscaping.
The Committee agreed that a comprehensive overview would be more advantageous,
and therefore granted permission to staff to release current building permits.

FYesentation: Ted Clausen, Atlantic Richfield
Staff reviewed the background of this application followed by an overview
of the project by Pis. Clausen. Slides of the site were viewed by the
Committee.
Considerable discussion ansued regarding the appropriate circulation pattern
for this development. It was determined that staff's recommendations in this
regard were valid except for the provision of a walkway at the south ,side of
subject building.
The ASAC mem7oers agreed that wood siding should be provided on the easterly
elevation, but that such a requirement was not warranted on the south side
(due to low public visibility potentials). The Committee had some concerns
with the 3 ft. high accent pa>ael, but concluded that it was acceptable.
With reference to landscaping, it was determined that a planter bed should
be provided against the building, rather than the walkway proposed in that
vicinity.
It was agreed that staff's concern regar bng the appearance of the parking lot
fixture was justified. The applicant was directed to pursue possible alternatives.
For increased security, the applicant agreed to provide a lighting fixture in
the southern portion of the site,

3. Industrial building on Imperial Avenue (Mr. and Mrs. 'James Farsythe).
Presentation: Ellis L. Jacobs, Architect
Ann Anger
Barbara Trubell
This proposal will develop through the County, but has been referred to Cupertino
for comments. Due to significant design-related concerns, the Planning Director
requested ASAC to review the development proposal, and to forward any
recommendations back to the County.
Mrs. Anger and Mrs. Trubell explained that they were attending this meeting
in order to advocate considerable upgrading of Monta Vista.
Staff objected to on-street parking as this concept is contrary to the approved
Stevens Creek Boulevard Plan Line Study. Mr. Jacobs had been undef the
impression that the City wanted this element.

There was significant concern about the ;lack *L' landscape 4, r3y
along north and vast property. Lines.. It was deterred that p landscaping
on all four sides is ideal,; der, the ao11ra�t noted the bsaild 4ito. and
parking constraints. fly, itr`was decerm�.med by ASAC
that the street setback should be a mintom of 20 ft., 044 that the building
setback distance from the northerly property line' should be S ft. The C mi.ttee
was striving to buffer this land use and make it visually p2eseing to the eye,
yet the reality of the situation (as depicted by Mr. .acobs) proved to be
frustrating. Mrs. Trubell was concerned with the massiveness of the two story
buildings, given the minimal setback distances. Staff noted that a single-
family residence existed on the northerly lot Imediately adjacent to this site.
Mrs. Anger believed that the proposed building looked like a factory. The
Committee members also expressed a great deal of concern with its appearance,
and found that the proposed building would not significantly enhance the
Monta Vista area. Mr. Jacobs submitted a revised north elevation rendering,
but this did not meet with substantial ASAC approval. Staff was directed to
relay these general concerns to the County.
The Chairman thanked tars. Trubell and Mrs. Angler for their valued comments.

Chairman Bond wished to understand why the application believed a sign
exception was justified. The response was that the public.would be

Great Western's have Saturday hours, and the public would be able to
distinguish these differences.
Member Morrison verified with the applicant that different media techniques
were a -:d to inform the public of Saturday operations.

Presentation: Marius Nelsen
Mr. Nelsen presented a revised site plan to resolve staff concerns regarding
the locations of a trash enclosure, gas pump, and bicycle area. The
Committee had no concerns with the proposed revisions. Staff°s recommendations
concerning haaidicap stall revisions were also considered by the Committee.
There was some discussion regarding the merits of placing a walkway at
the west side of the building, but a majority of ASAC members determined
that this was not necessary.
Mr. Nelsen advised the Committe of his intention to use wood shakes and a
slumpstone sound wall. The Committee requested a dark brown colored wall
so that it would be less noticeable to the public.
The applicant also indicated a desire to utilize a solar hot water heating
system. ASAC Chairman Bond responded that any necessary roofline revisions
could be returned informally to the Committee, if staff determined that
significant revisions were involved.

viewed from Stevens Creek Boulevard.

y Presentation: Gero and Victor- Castello
Chairman Bond stated that he concurred with staff's viewpoint on this
matter, as stated in the report.
Member Sallan asked the.applicant why he was requesting these modifications.
Victor Castello replied that due to long-term leases of five years or moreq
competitive market forces are not an issue. Pride of ownership is the
reason for this endeavor.
Member Ripplinger felt that the entire site needs to be upgraded, and that
the proposal should be looked at from a community benefit standpoint.
Member Sallan was sympathetic with Chairman Bond's comments, but believed
that the proposed improvements are better than nothing. ember Johnson
agreed with this opinion, feeling that substantial modifications may be
slow to occur.
Staff presented slides of the site.
The applicant stated that all signs were brought down to the same fascia
level, and Member Ripplinger agreed that this merited some consideration.
A consensus was tal�en of the Committee members and the indication was that
Members Sallan, Johnson and Ripplinger were in favor of the project, with
Member Morrison and Chairman Band opposed.
Member Morrison agreed with staff's position that market forces were indeed
causing or going to cause pressure upon the applicants to improve the site.
He further agreed with staff's viewpoint that the proposed roofing material
Nay not be appropriate for this commercial site. Staff pointed out an
axisting application of metal roofing - the Any Mountain Ltd. building,
with the comment that the roof type must be compatible with the design
and nature of the building. In response to Member Salln's question, the
applicants verified that an upgraded or different material would not be
considered. Committee members then queried the applicants as to whether
they would consider the installation of landscaping on this site in
addition to -that which was proposed. The response was negative. Discussion
occured regarding the current General Plan policies which mandate extensive
on-site landscaping. Concern was also expressed regarding the existing
illegal Winchell's ground sign. The applicants were advised that this
proposal could be continued to permit further study to address architectural
and landscaping concerns. The applicants requested a decision at this
meeting.
Member Ripplinger stated that his vote was changed.
Staff expressed the opinion that the subject application has great significance,
because site redevelopment is destined to become more prevalent in the future.
This application will serve as a policy model.
Chairman Bond requested Comments from the audience. Michael Robbins of Ad-
Art, Inc. believed that this application should not be rejected by the City
because the potential for any improvements would be last. Mr. Robbins felt
that the community should be happy to see some modifications, rather
than penalizing the applicant through further demands.

It was explained that at the time of submittal of this applica-
tion, the applicants desired Green #2105. At the meeting, how-
ever, the applicant requested ivory instead.
The Committee felt that green was appropriate, for these reasons :
compatibility with green building trim; suffi,oieat distiaction
from brown walls ; visible from Stevens Creak Boulevatd= lack
of need for brilliant sign color. the: large reputation of
Houlihan°s was discussed.
It was determined that the phrase "and bag" was information not
necessary to the identification of this restaurant. Some Committee
membeirs believed th&t simply stating "Houlihan•s' wags sufficient.

INFORMAL REVIEW:
4. Monta Vista Market (Charles Rifredi) -- determination of need for
® Architectural and Site Approval Committee review of proposed architectural
modifications to an existing building. ...
The applicants are requesting to decrease the size of their storefront windows,
and to provide brick treatment. The purpose of this proposed alteration is to
decrease vandalism (people kick the existing windows). Staff brought this
request before the committee to determine whether formal ASAC review would be
required, and if so, to assesu whether this change would trigger site or
landscape upgrading.
The committee discussed the appropriateness of installing planter boxes in
front of the store. tiles Williams, President of the Monta Vista Homeowners
Association, stated that any changes to provide landscaping in the parking
lot areas would necessitate a review of the entire on-site circulation
system. Mrs. Ann Anger, a Monta Vista resident, believed that landscaping
should be provided on the site at the time Adrianna Avenue is reconfigured.
The committee determined informally that the proposed storefront remodel
should be approved only with a condition that the a-cplicant agree to provide
on-site landscaping at the time of the realignment of Adrianna Avenue,

There was a concern among several Commtttee Members that the proposed building
design may be incompatible with adjacent sites. Th r was recognized as a policy
related concern, in that tie Committee had not 'had a•chance to informally
review this application. It was felt that s:,ch a preliminary review would
benefit the City, and future applicants. The Committee reaffirmed their
responsibility to review design and aesthetics, and stated that an early input would
be valuable. Staff was requested to informally bring all new developments to

Meviber Rooker raised some concepts regarding Lhe proposed architecture. He
felt that the existing home was a unique design and that the proposed units may
appear to be unsatisfactory imitations. Member Rooker also felt that the
roofline approved at the Planning Commis_�,on level was mare sensitive to
the existing house design. The roofline change prompted questions regarding the
feasibility of solar panel placement . The applicant did not have detailed
information concerning the solar equipment; this issue will require additional
study. An informal ASAC review will be necessary.

5. Application HC-51,333.14 - Anthony's Pier 9 - Awning and Stairway.
Staff presented Mr. Del Monaco's request for a brown/beige striped awning
canopy at the rear of this restaurant. This modification would necessitate
construction of a new stairway and elimination of one parking stall. The
purpose of this canopy is to provide a dry entry to the restaurant from the
parking lot.
The Committee opposed the application on two grounds:
1. Design - the materials are not compatible with the building's elements.
The existing building design is composed of wood materials, and a trellis
or other wooden structure would tie in more appropriately with this
architecture.
2. Maintenance - the Committee felt that the proposed canopy would create
longterm maintenance problems .
Accordingly, the Architectural and Site Approval Committee informally
denied this request.

It was determined that the CC&R's for this shopping center require Brunswick
to maintain Mr. Costadi's landscaping until a Certificate of Occupany is
released. Therefore, existing landscape maintenance problems must be addressed
to Brunswick, rather than being designated as Mr. Costadi' responsibility.
Staff noted that a letter would be prepared to Brunswick regarding this
matter. Mr. Costadi did agree to rejuvenate the landscape prior to receiving
a Certificate of occupancy.
Mr. Costadi agreed to use the sign program now in existence for the
adjacent Thorawood Associates Shop. Parking lot lighting is already in

west corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and East Rstates Drive in a CG (General

Presentation: Dave White, Reath and Company; Bill Amadore, Winchell's
Vice Chairman Ripplinger asked the applicants to justify the proposed sign
exception. It was answered that the request was an economic move only.
The proposed sign colors and height are standard Winchell's design, and
a form already exists to make such a sign. Other colors and heights would
require creation of a new form.
The Committee determined that the stated reasons of' justification Were not
consistent with the necessary sign exception criteria specified by ordinance.
The applicants had not demonstrated that hardships would be imposed by
utilizing the sign program criteria established for this shopping center.
The established sign program provided satisfactory identity to all tenants.
Further, Winchell's letter style could be retained. The Committee concurred
with staff's report. It was noted that -the Winchell's store at the
McClellan Square Shopping Center conformed with the sign program for that

Minutes of August 21, logo A.S.A.C. (t:ontnai }
Presentation: Dave McLeroy
Staff discussed the proposed service station expansion, which would consist
of two new bays and landscaping slides"of the site were displayed. It was
stated that various land use issues would be addressed at a later date by
the Planning Commission. The function of ASAC at this time was to assess
design-related concertos.
Effects of land-use intensification were explored, including the increased
accumulation of debris, additional activities in public view, more vehicles
stored temporarily on the site, greater traffic to the site,and related
matters. Ann Anger, Barbara Trubell, and Mrs. Beck expressed a concern
regarding the expansion of auto-related activities in Monte Visa. It was
determined, however, that ASAC and residents concerns are primarily related
to the visual effects of service station operations. It was agreed by
Committee members and Mr. McLeroy that the new bays should be accessible
only from the rear side of the building (north elevation). A false glass
roll-up door would be installed on the south side to present an appearance
that was typical of a service station. A raised planter bed would be
installed in front of this glass door.
Other suggestions to Mr. McLeroy included the formal designation of parking
stalls, parking of client's cars in the rear, enclosure of trash bin and
tires, and intensive landscaping wherever feasible to soften this site.
The Committee felt that the existing architectural detailing of this building
was acceptable and within the realm of the Monta Vista Plan design guidelines.
A lack of unity among downtown Monts Vista buildings was cited as the reason
for this decision.

PUBLIC HEARING:
1. Application HC-51,410.7 - Apple Computer, 1i. - . requesting approval of a
temporary parking loi facility to be l®cated on"the west side of North
De Anza Boulevard, approximately 200 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive. Said
property is situated in a P- (Planned Development) zoning district.
Presentation: Jim Walker, Arl Holvick, Dr. Joseph Brown
The Committee discussed the appropriateness of this marginal use along
De Anza Boulevard. Concerns were expressed regarding the visual impacts
of a temporary parking lot, given the high standards stated in the
De Anza Boulevard Concepts+al Plan. It was emphasized that this use should
not be granted numerous permit extensions.
Committee members discussed the feasibility of requiring a 50 ft. landscaped
setback area. It was finally agreed that the proposed 12 ft. wide planting
strip, with mounding, would be adequate. The appearance of a fence was of
concern, so it was determined that dense Oleanders would be more pleasing.
These Oleanders will not be required adjacent to the northerly property line.
Staff Note: The applicant has agreed to install sod instead of Gazanias.
This was the intent of ASAC members, but it was inadvertently left out of
the motion for approval. Staff confirmed this after the meeting with the
Chairman and Mr. Jim ?calker.
There were no comments from the public.
Moved by Chairman Morrison with a second by Member Rooker to recom- end approval
of Application HC-51,410.7 subject to conditions contained in -Resolution No. 965.

The Committee was advised of this forthcoming meeting. The role of ARX
committee's value to the City was reaffirmed, In toa interests "of efficiency, It

development to be located at the southwest corner of Portal Avenue and Stever,
Creek Boulevard. Said property is situated in a P (P1aDned Development) zoning
district. �.'�
Staff advised the Cditdttee that the Planning Commission and City Council had
not expressed a definitive vocal response to the question of use of the southerly
emergency driveway area. However, the taped minutes give the impression that
the resiJents won't use It. Mr. Bierman* 19871 Bixby, agreed that this -aseurance
had been made in the course of Planning Commission and City Council hearings.
ASAC therefore agreed with staff's proposal for emergency/maintenance use only.
They also decided that there vas no need for any pavement treatment here, given
the limited 6se of the area.
ASAC determined that.a meandering walkway was satisfactory, rather than staff's
suggestion to continue the linear theme of Orchard Valley. Member Nobel objected
to a meandering walk concept.It was also agreed that a 6 ft. high sound wall was
satisfactory along the Stevens Creek Boulevard frontage. The applicant presented
a sketch depicting staff's suggestions for a reduced wall height.
Mr. and Mrs. Bierman expressed concarns relating to pr;lvacy of their home at
1,9871 Bixby Drive. Several ASAC members were concerneJ with the lack of sufficient
number of trees along the street frontages. Informal ASAC review will be required
for these items.

is Presentation: Mr. and Mrs. Weiss, Robert Oliver
It was explained that the applicants were seeking approval at this time
of only the steel posts along Stevens Creek Boulevard. Use permit conditions
of approval relating to the Stelling Road frontage are being appealed to

treatment along Stelling.

streetscape aesthetics of Stevens Creek Boulevard would he marred. Some
posts were installed illegally in December; photos were displayed.. Staff
supported the use of landscaping to screen the bollards, or, the ut;e of a
bermed planting bed with retaining wall (posts would not be necessary then) .
Slides of other car dealer sites were shown to the Committee and applicants.
The slides portrayed: (a) planting materials that shield posts from
public viers; (b) the use of bermed planting with no posts; and (c) attretive
posts placed in landscaped areas.

01- Application HC-51,299.1 - Key Chevrolet (Paul Weiss) requesting approval for the
installation of a fence along the southerly perimeter of an automobile sales
facility. Said property is located at the northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard
and Stelling Road, in a General Commercial zoning district. Referred back to ASAC
by the City Council.
Presentation: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Weiss,
Robert Oliver, Mark Thomas and Company
Captain Don Tamm, Sheriff's Department
Member Rooker stated that he had previously considered the post proposal to be
satisfactory. However, recent feedback from the City Counci indicated that the matter
is more important than ASAC had thought. The Council was, in effect, suggesting
that posts are a "B" grade solution in an "A" grade location. Given this direction
from the Council, Member Rooker revised his viewpoint concerning the application.
He concurred with Chairman Morrison's earlier position that called for a more attractive
barrier design solution.
Member Nobel felt that the City is using a serious security problem as a leverage
to gain landscaping. She believes that this sitiation is unique and that the City's
aesthetic standards should be waived fr that reason.
Captain Tamm said that the Weisses were not being fully cooperative in efforts to
implement a crime prevention program. They are not undertaking all necessary

gplill! FIRM
Min+tea of Pstbruary 25, 1901 A.S.A.C: �(continued)
measures to reduce crime. Better key control is essential. In addition', Key
Chevrolet employees should participate in a crime prevention education program
offered by the Sheriff's Department. He believes that a security barrier 1s
necessary around the perimeter of th site. The barrier height should be 24 inches
(minimum) to 36 inches (maximum, including planting). Maximum barrier spacing
should be 5 ft. Staif note: these nubbers were confirmed by Captain Tamm ooe
day after the ASAC meeting.
Mr. and Airs. Weiss indicated that they are partic1pating in crime prevention efforts.
Mrs. Weiss felt that the proposed steel posts are not attractive, but beauty must be
secondary to security. Mrs. Weiss was concerned with the liability problem of people
tripping over low barriers. Mr. Weiss stated that the City had approved his landscape
plan in 1968, and that nothing further should he sought.
Robert Oliver, Civil Engineer, said that the Weiss' are not here to propose any
landscaping. They are simply seeking approval of the posts.
Mr. Bierman, a member of the audience, felt that a very low barrier would be
dangerous.
Mrs. Ann Anger opposed the Wei�c proposal. She sympathized with the crime problem,
but rants an aesthetic solution. She is pro-business; however, Business people
have an obligation to the community. The City's standardsin 1968 are different
than now. Minimal landscaping would be unacceptable today. She suggested a
combination of posts and planter boxes.
Moved by Member Rooker, with a second by Chairman Morrison to recommend denial
of Application RC-51,299.1 subject to the findings contained in Resolution No. 976.

The property is zoned P (Planned Development with commercial/industrial intent).
ASAC stressed the sensitive nature of Monts Vista. The proposed trailer would
be located on a "gateway" property, and would perpetuate a negative image of
Monta Vista. Other developers and the City are investing in this area, and the
proposed trailer was therefore subject to strong ASAC objections.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
INFORMAL REVIEW:
1. Request of Fotomat Corporation to discuss the feasibility of locating
a walk-up photo kiosk in the Cupertino Crossroads Shopping Center parking lot.
Presentation: Peter Fogarty, Fotomat
.he proposed location and architecture of the Fotomat kiosk was diicusb-d.
A majority of the ASAC members reached these general conclusions:
a. Location
A free-standing structure far removed from other buildings is not acceptable.
It should be -physically integrated with other buildings, preferably in the
main mall area, but possibly near the bookstore if treated correctly. The
objective is to encourage pedestrian traffic, rather than vehicular. A
sma'l, isolated structure would be viewed as a drive-up facility, or a
quickly-reached walk-up business.
The kiosk (4 ft. x 9 ft.) could conceivably be located in an existing
planting bed in front of the mall area. This meets the above-referened
objective, and also addresses the parking needs of this shopping center -
the Mardes ch portion has exactly the number of parking stalls it requires,
while the Woodruff portion is deficient. Locating a kiosk in a parking
stall would require the applicant to place a new stall elsewhere on the
property.
b. Appearance
® A Fotomat kiosk ahould reflect major architectural elements of the Crossroads
center. Paving treatment, landscaping, and other design solutions should be
- 1 -
h
used to tie the kiosk to the shopping center.
Given the above-nosed consensus of a: ma majority of ASAC members, Hr. Fogarty
j y mem e . 8 ty
stated that he would reetudy his proposal.
2. Applications 5-Z-81 and 8-U-81 - Canada Development Company -v. Rezoning approxi-
mately .5 gross acre from Al-43 (Agricultural,-Residential 43,000 sq.-ft.
minimum lot size) zone to P (Planned Development with residential cluster
intent) zone or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate by the Planning
Commission and Use Permit to construct five attached residential dwelling units.
The subject property is located on the east side of Blaney Avenue approximately
100 ft. north or Beekman Place.
ASAC felt that the proposed site plan arrangement is awkward due to the
slightly offset alignment of the buildings. They wished to see a 5 ft. wide
planting strip along the northerly property line. Northerly and easterly
property lines should be intensely planted. The Committee also recommended
that the applicant provide diversity in architectural elements.
In order to provide more landscaping adjacent to Blaney Avenue, ASAC recommended
that the proposed curved driveway should be shifted to enter the side of the
unit from the north.
3. Applications 4-Z-81 and 7-U-81 - Lincoln Property Company N.C., Inc. : - Rezoning
approximately 8 gross acres from P (Planned Development) to P (Planned- Develop-
ment with commercial, office, and residential, maximum 30 dwelling units per
® gross acre, intent) zone or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate by the
Planning Commission and Use Permit to construct an office building equaling
approximately 50,000 sq. ft. The subject property is located on the north side
of Rodrigues Avenue from De Anza Boulevard to a point approximately 400 ft.
westerly of Torre Avenue.
The Committee would have preferred to see a comprehensive Town Center plan
that stresses efficient joint use of parking structures, as well as consideration
of compatible building and landscape design themes. The proposed plan may set
a precedent for large asphalt irking lots for each Toeyn Cente.r .property. To'
offset the visual impacts of the parking area, ASAC urged greaser landscaping
along the street frontages. This could be accommodated by permitting an additional
story of building height (while retaining the proposed sq. ft.). In addition,
the Committee wished to see a minimum of 15 ft. of planting adjacent to the
residential May Investment site. Mounding or depressed parking lot grades
should be considered to minimize views of asphalt.
4. Application 6-U-81 - West_ Valley Montessori School, Inc. - Use Permit to aced
approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of classroom space to an existing private day school
and permit tin to approximately 300 students. The subject property is located on
the west side or Maxine Drive approximately 200 ft. south of Homestead Road in a
BO (Quasi-Public Building) zoning district.
ASAC felt that the proposed use was too intensive for this small site. Traffic
and noise impacts should be carefully evaluated. The adequacy of open play space
areas was also questioned. The applicants may wish to utilize an existing vacant
school site rather than intensifying their small property.

REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATION
1. Application 27-U-80 - The Villas at Lake Mariani - A Use Permit to
- _construct approximately 533 condominium units within an 18.5 + acre
P (Planned Development with Residential, 20-35 dwelling units per
gross acre intent) zone. The subject property is located on the
southeast quadrant of the •intersection of Homestead Road and De Anza Boulevard.
Presentation: Tom Randazzo, Ralph Martin
ASAC Recommendations:
1. Provide Blue Jay Drive entrance for relief of traffic congestion, but
retain the Homestead Road entrance depicted on the plan for a sense of
project identity.
2. Request the City's Traffic Engineer to r%view the proximity of parking
stalls to the De Anza Boulevard entrance.
3. Buildings adjacent to Homestead Road should maintain a setback distance
to the northerly property line equiva,-nt to that of Northpoint units.
4. The recreation building should be shifted to the south.
5. An increase in open turf area should be provided adjacent to the
recreation building, includir._ some recreational facilities for children.
6. The placement of buildings in the northwest quadrant of the site should
be reviewed to ensure their geometric symmetry.
7. A minimum setback distance of 10 ft. shall be provided between all buildings
and parking/circulation areas.
8. The area adjacent to the De Anza Boulevard/Homestead Road intersection should
be evaluated for sensitivity to noise, air quality and aesthetic
gateway considerations. Possible design solutions may include a shift in
units away fr.,m this intersection.

9. Noise attenuation measures should be thoroughly addressed.
10. Clarification of the intended trash disposal method is needed
11. Sound walls i0jacent to the De Anza Boulevard and Homestead Road frontages
are discouraged.
12. Internal storage space is encouraged in units and/or garage aress.
13. The project CC&Rs should prohibit visual clutter of balconies (including
exterior storage, scre'ns and draping of articles over the railing).
14. A detailed landscape plan should be provided at a later date for informal
ASAC` review and approval. In addition to pertinent recommendations
specified above, said plan should incorporate these elements:
a. De Anza Boulevard frontage - dense, vertical growth to limit view of
the inevitable clutter of balcony areas.
b. Homestead Road frontage - reflect a continuity of Nerthpoint's
landscape thecae and materials.
c. If permission can be obtained from Caltrans, landscape the off-site
sloped bank adjacent to the freeway off-ramp, near De Anza Boulevard.
d. Provide paving treatment to segments of the project's vehicular
circulation system.
e. Typical detail of internal courtyard areas.
15. Architectural plans should be returned fo:: informal ASAC review a-ad approval.
The project architect is requested to evaluate the following considerations:
a. The proposed building form, including the loft area, is attractive.
However, the strong statement presented by the white stucco elevation-
and red tile roof is not sensitive to the character of the neighborhood.
The introduction of more earthtone and wood elements would ensure a
development that is sympathetic to the architectural flavor of the
area.
b. Provision for passive solar heating of the units.
The above recommendations were approved with the unanimous consensus of the
Architectural and Site Approval Committee.

Presentation: A. Reyes, L. Pins, 0. Briones, J. Dyer, B. Trubell, John Cribb
The staff presented an overview of the application and emphasized the major
site design issue and implications. Mr. Pina responded that the City policies
expressed by staff were unreasonable due to economic limitations. John Cribb
of United Cable supported Mr. Reyes proposal.
Mr. Briones and Mr. Dyer, -adjacent homeowners, spoke in opposition (see their
letters on file). Photos of the site and other Monta Vista industrial properties
were presented. Barbara Trubell, a Monta Vista resident, spoke in opposition also.
The residents were concerned with the unattractive appearance of a contractor's
storage yard, potential difficulties of redevelopment of adjacent sites, and
the "canyon-like" effect on the home directly to the north of the subject site.
These homeowners wished to see the parking lot placed behind the building.
The Committee members asked Mr. Reyes to come back to the next ASAC meeting
with a detailed landscape plan indicating how the contractor's yard could be
shielded from public view. Mr. Reyes agreed to this continuance.

landscape plan. The Stevens Creek Boulevard Frontage landscape concepts were

ASAC Comments:
1. Proposed monolithic, smooth design concept does not promote a sense of
identity with the community. Should relate to the human scale of the area
with warmth and interest.
Softer form., materials zind colors. Reconsider the use of proposed
reflective glass. Add mire relief and shadowing. Provide depth and
interest. Needs elements of civic excitement (fountains, sculpture, etc.).

Minutes of June 8, 1981 A.S.A.C. (continued) ASAC-=282
Reciprocal easements with the adjacent Gifu/office sites are not advisable
due to the differing levels of land use intensity. Users of the .Sobreco
site may tend to d=,minate the adjoining properties.
;'3 Minority opinion: A six-story building is too imposing and intensive for
this site - it would be better suited for Vallco Park.
4. Maximum difference of 4 1 ft. should be permitted between the finish floor
elevation and top of curb.
The applicant and ASAC agreed to continue discussion of this application for
two weeks. The applicant will provide modified building elevations at that

for future development proposals in Town Center.
The Committee recommended that a common landscape and lighting theme be

office building at the southwest corner of Stern Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd.
PresentAtion: Nicholas Speno
The Committee concurred that the building was attractive. However# several
members were concerned that the building was out of character architecturally
with other buildings along Stevens Creek Boulevard. Specifically mentioned
was the possibility that the building was the wrong scale for the area. The
importance of landscape continuity was also discussed.
Committee members needed additional time to consider the application since they
had not received exhibits prior to the meeting. The item was continued with
the applicant's consent.

Concerns were expressed regarding compatibility of the building with the adjacent
residential neighborhood and gas station. Committee members felt that "quieter"
building, constructed on a smaller scale, might be more appropriate.
Three Committee members recommended approval with the following qualifications:
a. Landscape plans and signing should be submitted to ASAC for review.
b. Windows should be modified to minimize light intrusion on adjacent residential
homes.

office building on approximately .58 acre located at the southwest corner of
Stern Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Presentation: William G. Irvine representing Nicholas Steno.
The Committee's major recommendations pertained to signing, landscaping, parking
and the residential "gateway".
1. Approval is recommended for one ground sign. per the color exhibit presented
by applicant at the meeting. Approval of sign illumination should be
conditioned on staff approval.
2. I•lore detailed landscape plans should be resubmitted to ASAC prior to
buildingpermit approval. Landscape continuity along Stevens Creek Boulevard
is a major concern. Street trees from the City's street tree list should be
used,
3. Parking space and back-up dimensions do not appear adequate.
4. The applicant has proposed to install a half of a residential "gateway" on
the west side of Stern Avenue per City policy. The ASAC was concerned that
the remaining half on the east side of the street may never be constructed
due to this area being outside of Cupertino's sphere of influence. A half of
a gateway would appear lopsided.
In addition to the above concerns the Committee discussed the possibility of
conflicts occurring due to the rffice building's location adjacent to an existing
residential neighborhood. No major concerns were expressed: However ASAC
recommended that lighting not adversely impact homes.
2. Application HC-51,458.12 - Coast Federal Savings and Loan - Amendment to conditions
® of previous sign exception. The subject property is located on the north side of
Stevens Creek Boulevard, approximately 126 ft. west of North De Anaa Boulevard.

The Committee agreed that the individually mounted letters` rttposed for the
rear of the building were more appropriate then the sign previously proposed.
However the Committee sreh tested that the cast-in-place "COAW akt the. front
of the building be retained, rather than filled-in as suggested by- the applicant.
Staff pointed o►it that a sign exception would be necessary in order to allow
two building-mounted identification signs if "COAST" is retained.
The Committee voted 4-0 tc recommend approval for sign exception to allow two
building-mounted identification signs.

office buildizL nn approximately .5 acre. The subject property is located on
the west side s i'asadena Avenue approximately 125 ft. south of Stevens Creek Blvd.
Presentation: C. Thomas Reeves and S. Saitowitz.
The Committee made the following comments and recommendations:
a. Landscaping is inadequate. Additional vertical plantings are necessary.
Concern was also expressed regarding the lack of a 5 ft. landscape strip
around the site's boundaries. This concern was directed particularly at
the northern boundary.
b,. Either additional setback or architectural variation is necessary to soften
the fli-t appearance of the building. The building is too box-like and
co+-I& look like a 25 ft. wall from street level.
c. Chairman Rooker was concerned that locating the trash enclose along Panadena
Avenue would be unsightly. Member Higdon liked the idea of screening the
parking lot with the trash enclosure, but specified that the enclosure should
be of the same materials as the building and appear to be a small structure.
® d. The sign proposed at the northeast corner of the property could create a bill-
board affect due to its distance from the main building and street orientation.
A building-mounted identification sign or a sign perpendicular to the building
would be more appropriate.
e. Concern wa:, expressed regarding the two parking spaces at the building's rear
which are parallel to the building and perpendicular to the other nine spaces.
f. A reciprocal ingress/egress agreement with property to the south, should be
required.
g. The three sets of lines shown on the parking lot should not be panted, but
should consist of s.m►e type of paving treatment.
Ann Anger, resident of rlonta Vista, questioned the appropriateness of a predominantly
Victo-_-ian architectural motif in Monts Vista. She expressed support for a
"Town and County" style shopping area or a mixture of building types.
The application was continued to the ASAC's next meeting. At this time color
renderings and elevations of the trash area will be provided.

CONTIf ED ITEM;
1. Application 27-U-81 - C. Thomas Reeves - Use Permit to construct a 9,800
sq. ft. office building on approximately .5 acre. The subject property
is located on the west side of Pasadena Avenue approximately 125 ft. south
of Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Presentation: Tom Reeves and S. Sa'towit2; Ann Anger; Marius Nelsen.
The applicant presented color renderings of the project as modified. The
Committee saw little change from what was presented December 14, 1981 and
therefore reiterated many of their previous concerns:
a. Additional setback is necessary. The ASAC is still concerned that the
building will overwhelm the pedestrian by placing too much mass adjacent
to the street.
b. Additional landscaping is necessary. The ASAC recoamtnds a minimum 4 ft.
wide parking strip around the site's perimeter.
c. Locating a sign at the northeast corner of the property could create
a billboard effect.
d. Locating the trash enclosure at the front of the property could be
unsightly. The ASAC felt the additional landscaping proposed to
screen the enclosure would not solve the problem. Member Higdon
disagreed and stated that he like the idea of screening the parking
area with the enclosure.
e. Chairman Rooker felt that although the building materials are consistent
with those desired in the Monta Vista area, the style is too contemporarl.
The Committee recommended denial with a 3-1 vote. The dissenting Member
(Member Hiddon) voted to recommend approval because he felt the building/
setback is appropriate for the Monta Vista area
Both Ann Anger and Marius Nelsen expressed support for the proposal.

The ASAC preferred the applicant's site plan over the staff's alternative
plan. The applicant's plan has less asphalt and more landscaping. T
addition several members were concerned about the loss of a mature Pepper
tree. Chairman Rooker felt that although the staff's alternative would
benefit neighboring properties, it would have negative effects on T. Reew*s
project. He did not feel the trade-off was warranted given the uncertaint;
of redevelopment of neighborint, sites.

property located approximately 150 ft. west of North Blaney Avenue on the
north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard. 4
Presentation: Stan Skelton and George Pope.
The Committee enthusiastically recommended approval of the proposed ground
sign and exception (4-0 vote). The members stressed that this was a positive
solution to a difficult signing problem. Several conditions regarding sign
height and materials were recommended.
It was pointed out that a ground sign would provide continuity with many
other businesses along Stevens Creek Boulevard which have ground signs.
The Committee based the exception in this continuity, on the lack of a good
place to locate the sign on the front of the building and- on the obstruction
by a mature tree.
INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS:
3. Application 29-U-81 - Wahib Costandi - Use Permit to construct a 7,000 sq. ft.
retail commercial building. The subject property is located on the south
side of Homestead Road, approximately 150 ft. east of Stelling Road.

The Committee recommended approval 4-0.
4. Application 18-U-81 - De Anza Forge (Cupertino Village) - Modify existing use
permit to allow construction of mini-storage facility in addition to 96 residential
condominium units. The subject property is located in the southwesterly quadrant
of Homestead Road and De Anza Boulev rd, just north of Highway 280 (behind
Homestead Square Shopping Center and De Anza Lumber).
Presentation: John Vidovich
The ASAC recommended approval with the following suggestions:
a. A discrepancy exists between Exhibits A ist Revision and B-1 with regards
to the landscaping in front of the manager's unit. Exhibit A lst Revision

INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATION.,
1. Application 1-U-82 - William Marocco and Associates - Use Permit to construct a
9,900 sq. ft. office building on the northwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard
and Vista Drive.
Presentation: William Marocco, Owner; Dennis Kobza, Architect.
The Committee discussed the proposal as follows:
Site and Architecture - Members Morrison and Higdon recommended approval.
Chairman Rooker recommended disapproval.
a. Chairman Rooker - The building lacks elements wf1ch , :ovide depth, creating
a stark or abrupt appearance. In addition the building lacks horizontal
lines and is incompatible with adjacent buildings. Due to the use of a joint
driveway, the proposed building will be strongly associated with the adjacent
building. Therefore compatibility is important.
b. Member Morrison - The entry lacks definition. A cover (for example, trel'is)
Is recommended. Locating the parking in the rear will discourage use of Zhe
front entry. .
The Glulam facia will weather with time. It seems out of context against
the brick.
c. Member Higdon - The trash enclosure should be made of brick in order to be
consistent with the building.
- The building does not appear stark.
Landscaping - The landscaping will be the key to softening the building's impact.
Additional vc-rtical plantings are needed and another Liquid Amber is necessary on
the building's west side to balance the other trees. More trees may be necessary.
The Silk tree proposed can be messy.

northwest corner of Rodrigues and Torre Avenues.
Presentation: Birch Boone and Pete Testa representing Lincoln Property Company,
Roger Higdon did not participate in the discussion of this item as he is a
Consulting Engineer for the proposal.
The Committee commented as follows: Chairman Rooker - the building's architecture,
planning, and building vocabulary are excellent. Particularly good is material
choice and colors. Only concern is that the transition from the Spanish-styled
residential uni,a proposed to .the east could be more subtle.
Member Morrison - the building is not oriented enough to the human scale. Would
like to see design changes (materials, color, building form) address this. The
building footprin► is fine.
Member Miller - the building is out of character with its surrouniings.
The Committee would like to see the landscaping plan prior to building permit
approval.

Boulevard approximately 275 ft. west. of De Anza Boulevard.
Presentation: Tom Donoghue, Advertising Products, Inc.

2. The background color may be changed to brown to match the wood on the building.
3. The e.-i.sting "Catalog; Showroom" shall be retained.
A formal Resolution was not necessary since the new sign is sufficiently within the
scope of the old sign program.

modified.)
Mr. Witt presented pictures to the Committee in order to demonstrate that Juls Duc had
not replaced the existing retaining wall, fence posts, and necessary fence boards
as required in their ,SAC approval. The ASAC agreed the repair work did not comply
with the original condition of approval.
Discussion of the proposed modification revealed that Mr. Cereghino had misunderstood
the modified condition.
The Committee denied the modification for the following reasons:
1. Neighbors do not support;
2. Modified condition differs little from original condition;
3. And, the ASAC remains concerned about the retaining wall.

3. City of Cupertino - Discussion/recommendation pertaining to the sidewalk and
landscaping standard proposed along Stevens Creek Boulevard east of North De Anza
Boulevard.
Presentation: Will Lester and Walter Ward representing Vallco Park.
Steve Piasecki presented the proposed Sidewalk/Landscape Plan.
Mr. Ward and Mr. Lester presented Vallco Park's master landscape plan. They
requested that Vallco be exempt from the City's plan because of the above master
plan. However, they offered to use the City's sidewalk standard from Finch Avenue
to Tantau Avenue. Implementation of the City plan would be difficult in areas
where Vallco has already installed sidewalks and landscaping due to existing berming
and mature trees.
Mr. Ward and Mr. Lester also made the following comments:
- Maintenance of the landscaped areas will need to be coordinated among,
the numerous property owners involved. Staff suggested that this
might be accomplished with an assessment district.
- Tree species could be alternated by property owner. This might reduce the
visual problem of adjacent property owners having trees of different ages.
- Drip sprinkler-.systems are subject to vandalism problems.
- Such a major landscaping requirement might discourage redevelopment.
Members of the ASAC commented:
- All members were generally in favor of the plan.
Concern was expressed regarding maintenance. One member specifically
mentioned the need for an irrigation standard. Another indicated support
for an assessment district.
- Concern was expressed regarding exceptions such as the Vallco case, and when
they would be appropriate. One Member was concerned that too many exceptions
would threaten the standard. Another Member was in favor of allowing the
Vallco Master Plan take precedence from Finch Avenue to the Sears site.
- Accent shrubs should be of a sufficient size and number to screen parked cars.
Mounding should be required.
- The double row o4e trees will be attractive. One Member recommended that
more trees be required.
- The sidewalk should be wider than 5 ft. at areas of high pedestrian use.
4. Application HC-51,541.1 - Clearlake Development Company - Informal review of proposed
6 ft. sign to be shared with adjoining property. The subject property is located
on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard between Randy La.�e and Blaney Avenue.
The Committee approved the sign (4-0).
5. Modification of the ASAC Rules and Regulations. If approved, the modification will
allow the Committee to waive standard conditions pertaining to street ,.mprovements
in the case of sign applications.
The Committee recommended approval of the modification (3-0). Vice Chairperson
Nobel abstained. She felt the item should be continued until Chairman Rooker
could participate.

Good Samaritan Church.
One neighbor, Fred Jacques, was present. He was concerned about the current lack
of maintenance on church grounds (particularly weed abatement) and the storage of
newspapers associated with the church's paper drive. He requested that the trash
enclosure be screened by appropriate plantings. He was also concerned about the

on the northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Blaney Avenue.
Presentation: Louie Feinstin representing P. J. Mulligan's.
Staff recommended that approval be conditioned on the installation of landscaping
improvements consistent with the Stevens Creek Boulevard sidewalk plan. The
Committee felt that such a condition was not appropriate because:
- The center is ready for a major overhaul.
- The property owner, not the tenant, is responsible for major improvements.
- P. J. Mulligan's has improved the center already.
The Committee suggested that the applicant landscape the planter area in front of
his establishment only.

office building. The subject property is located on the northwest corner of
Stevens Creek Boulevard and North De Anza Boulevard.
Presentation: Robert Bernstein, James W. Foug and Associates, William Kelley,
Nora Hall, Lorraine Zank, and Mr. Tambolina representing William Kelley.
The Committee made the following comments:
- The building's contemporary direction is appropriate.
- The building's color will be an important key to help relate the building to its'
surroundings. (Particularly Coast Federal Savings). The ASAC suggested that the
applicant consider modifying the glass to a brown or mauve to match the Coast
Federal Savings Building.
- Rich landscaping with plants cascading from the second floor and grass berming
on the street frontage is recommended. The Vallco Financial Center on Stevens
Creek Boulevard and Wolfe Road is an example of good landscaping.
- Landscaping and paving details will be important to help pedestrians relate to
the building.

Corporation. R. D. Koenitzer, resident (10060 Phar Lap Drive) and Planning
Commissioner.
Member Rooker felt the simple building lines and extensive landscaping was attractive.
Staff suggested the addition of a heavy wood trellis to increase the kiosk's
perceived bulk. The Committee dete.mined that this would be inappropriate due to
the kiosk's clean liners and the lack of wood elsewhere.
R. D. Koenitzer expressed disapproval for the project. He felt that although
this kiosk looked better than others, it was still too small to stand by itself
in the middle of a parking lot. He felt it would look 11'.-e a "little shack".
Staff indicated ' at applicant was allowed one sign per Sign Ordinance No. 746
and that approval Df any additional signs would require an exception. The ASAC
felt two signs were needed to provide symmetry. The signs may be illuminated.

building. Chairman Rooker noted the importance of wood elements on railing,
windows, rafters, etc. He also noted that colors were consistent with the building
to the west. It was observed that several contemporary buildings have been
proposed in this area.
Concern was expressed regarding traffic conflicts ou the driveway west of the
building. This driveway is used by both St. Joseph's School and the existing
office structure. Several members felt the six parking spaces perpendicular to
the driveway would pose a hazard due to cars backing out of these sparse into
the path of other cars. Other members felt the applicant's building would not
aggrevate the existing situation.

The Committee also suggested the addition of several heavy trellis to (1) areas
with no roof overhang and (2) the front entry. They requested informal ASAC
review should the applicant decide to take tY3ir suggestion.
The application was approved (5-0) per ASAC Resolution No. 1020.

K
F?w
Minutes of May 24, 1982 A.S.A.C. (continued) ASAC-303
smaller buildings. one solution might be to break the proposed two
buildings up into four buildings.
(2) Architectural variation is needed, particularly with respect to height
and distance from the street. For example, the buildings might be
"stepped" back from the street to give a one-story appearance.
(3) Variation is also needed in the buildings' footprint and parking layout.
There are too many long, straight lines without any relief.
(4) Additional internal landscaping is needed, particularly in the parking lot.
In relation to this, several members felt the proposal included too much
asphalt and hard surfaces, making the site appear over-developed.
(5) Existing trees should be retained.
The-applicant indicated that he had discussed this proposal with neighbors and
hat; their'-onsent. He Said that the neighbors wanted a taller building than he
was proposing in order to screen them from traffic noise generated on Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road.
The Committee recommended disapproval (4-1) due to the need for a major redesign
effort. Member Nobel disagreed, indicating that she liked the building.

south side of Pruneridge Avenue, approximately 500 ft. west of Tantau Avenue.

The Committee approved the elimination of the central row of trees on the driveway
leading to the applicant's site. In addition, 105 5-gallon trees and 225 1-gallon
shrubs are allowed. The Committee stressed that the deviation from the normal
minimum container requirements did not apply to the rest of the Grosvenor site.
It is allowable in this case because:
(1) Trilogy is the first phase of a multi-phased development.
(2) Trilogy has demonstrated great expertise thus far.
(3) The plants to be of a reduced size appear to be of a hardy variety.
(4) The amount of landscaping proposed exceeds that normally provided.

Design: The Committee indicated that the sign needed additional bulk, given
its dimensions (12 ft. is very long fo, a 5 €t. high sign). In
addition, the "rustict0 sign design is inconsistent u-.th the
building's contemporary style. The Committee suggested that the
applicant contact a professional signing firm.

for visibility from Stevens Creek Boulevard. The A.S.A.C. felt visibility from
Stevens Creek Boulevard was not necessary for an automatic teller sign.
The applicant agreed to reduce the sign's size to 6 sq. €t. per a picture
presented at the meeting. This still required an exception since a 6 sq. ft.
sign is not exempt per Section 4 of the Sign Ordinance.
The Committee recommended (4-0) approval of an exception to allow three building
mounted signs per A.S.A.0 Resolution No. 1022.
5. Application HC-51,183.3 - Oakmont Square - Sign Exception to allow a ground

Mr. Mills indicated that the operable windows would be restricted so as to
protect the privacl of adjoining residences. He demonstrated this with a
model and pictures.
Neighbors made the following comments:
- Mr. Bohn said May Investment Company had agreed, with the neighbors, to the
original Conditions of Approval. The Conditions included a restriction
that the subject windows n-t be operable. May Investment should not be
allowed to back out of the commitment.
- Mr. Berends was concerned that soutb-lacing windows on Lots 77 and 78
would infringe on his privacy. (Mr. Mills pointed out that May Investment
Company was not asking that these particular windows be operable. He
thought they were to be obscure and inoperable).
- Mr. Bierman pointed out that the November 11, 1980, ASAC Minutes indicate
there shall be no second story windows facing Portal Avenue on the southeast
unit. Such a window was approved in the building permit plans for the
northern bedroom. However, Vice Chairperson Nobel thought the restriction
on the southeast unit had been a Condition of Approval, although it does not
appear on the adopted Resolution. Mr. Mills indicated that May Investment
Company would never have agreed to such a restriction.
ASAC directed Staff to listen to the tape of the November 11, 1980 ASAC meeting
in order to determine the agreement regarding the southeast unit.
Mr. Bierman also asked if the landscaping along Portal Avenue would sufficiently
screen his house from the new development. He plans to cut down two Silk
trees along his west property line. This will reduce his privacy.
- Mr. Bierman showed pictures of the view to his house from the second story
windows of several of the incompleted units along Portal Avenue.
- All three citizens were concerned that their existing privacy be protected.
The ASAC approved (3-0) the addition of fixed obscured windows to Lots 77 and 78 only
per ASAC Resolution No. 1025. The remaining windows requested were denied. The
request that subject windows be operable was denied.
SIGN ORDINANCE:
7. Modify Sign Ordinance requirements pertaining to signing in public right-of-way,

Discussion: Vice: Chairperson Nobel explained the Committee's decision at the
last meeting to car. Chartier. She indicated the Committee's denial of operable/
additional windows on the south side of the levelopment was due to neighbors
opposition. If Mr. Chartier can obtain the neighbors consent, ASAC would be
willing to reconsider their decision. Mr. Chartier's other option is to appeal
the Committee's decision to the City Council.
Mr. Bierman objected to the accuracy of ASAC Resolution No. 1025. He said the
first floor windows indicated as approved were- never discussed. He wishes these
windows to be inoperable.
2. Applciation HC-51,466.1 - De Anza Professional Center (formerly Gazdar Homes) -

Mr. Barbour thanked Mr. Hardin and Mr. Pries for their offer to allow the De Anza
Professional Center signage on their properties. However, he indicate that his
client would prefer to retain the existing sign on a temporary basis. The top panel
would be changed tr) read "De Anza Professional Center" and the four tenants would
have separate panels in a hNrizontal lin>- below the main panel. Although this
is basically the same sign as was approved in 1980, staff indicated that an
exception would still be necessary for any-tenant panel in excess of three.

location is found. At that time, the island and sign shall be removed. In the
meantimm, copy on the existing sign may be changed and only three tenants may be

retail cWlex than the subject professional building.
A motion to approve signs B & C per E$hibit A failed with a tie vote (2-2).
Alternative designs were discussed for sign "B". The Committee recommended approval
(4-0) for one of th,eae alternatilras per ASAC Resolution No. 1027. This resolution
establishes a sign program for tLe building and recommends approval of a:, exception

Civic Organizations - The Committee recommended that the Sign Ordinance be amended
to allow temporary civic organization signs is the public right-Hof-.way, eutgsv -;to,
staff approval. The Committee felt the signs of ,civic organizations shot/ compnf:Ity
involvement and should, be encouraged. They f e4t oat, .regmtr di&M; or, C
County approval would tend to discourage applicants q0. due .to,, the tern ary=t[ature
of the signs, would serve little purpose.
Real Lstate the following opinions were expressed:;
- Allowing any real estate signs in the public right of-way would=invite: -
problems (le: enforcement, safety). .
- Real estate signs are aily out an Saturday and Sunday.. In- addition, -very
few signs are out at all and open house sales generally last only one day,
These considerations anould minimize any potential problems.
- The Committee might c(maider allowing an additional of sign-(currently
only one is, allowed) provided the two signs are located at different neighborhood
entries. "4'hese signs would not be allowed is the public right-of-4way.
The discussion pertaining to real estate signing was continued.

Absent: Higdon
Staff Present: Sonia Binnendyk, Planner I
1. City of Cupertino General Plan Amendment - Discussion of proposed amendment with
a focus on the community design and appearance appendix. The Committee made the
following recommendations:
Majority Opinions (3-Members):
1. TLa Planning Commission/City Council should consider mid-rise buildings
(4-6 stories) in addition to the high-risa and 2-3 story structures currently
being considered. Potentially, there are sites along Stevens Creek Boulevard
where, although a high-rise may not be desirable, a mid-rise building may be
appropriate. Mid-rise buildings may be preferable over lower structures in
that high quality architectural designs are economically more viable.
2. The Committee felt less emphasis should be placed on preserving the visual
privacy of residences located adjacent to commercial/office buildings. This
comment is directed largely at situationo where future use of a site for a
commercial/office structure is obvious or the commercial/office use existed
prior to the residential use.
3. Parking should always be hidden, but should not be limited to below--grade or
surface facilities.
4. The requirement for a masonry wall between commercial and residential uses
should be relaxed so as to allow for more creative buffering solutions.
Minority Opinion (1-Member):
1. Performance Standards are necessary to minimize the impact of mid-rise/high-rise
structures. The community's low-scale identity should be pr.served.
Uoanimous Opinion:
I. Sound intrusion shall become of greater concern as noise levels build.
The Planning Commission/City Council should address this problem. . One solution
discussed was to adopt standards prohibiting internal noise levels to exceed
a certain decibel.
2. Residential property values are adversely affected on streets designated as
transportation corridors. The City should install improvements which will ,
help maintain or improve property values along such streets. For example,
the City could double the number of street trees.

Presentation: William Kelley and Bob Bernstein representing William Kelley.
The Committee recommended approval (4-0) of the subject building. They were
very pleased with the building's architecture, of which the height is a key
component. Member Rooker pointed out that the perceived height would be
1/3 that of Four Phase due to the smaller building footprint. He also pointed
out that the building should be viewed in the context of the whole block.
Thus, the building will appear to have a lot of land area surrounding it.
The Committee also recommended the addition of a major amendity, such as a
fountain or flagpole, which will hrlp attract oeo ,ie to the site.
ASAC requested informal review of the precise landscaping plan prior to
building permit approval.

northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Adriana Avenue.
Presentation: Helen Lu (Northern Neon Sign Company) and Ken Mitchell
representing Mitchell Bros. Auto Parts; Ann Anger, 10185 Empire, Cupertino, CA.
The Committee expressed the following concerns:
- A sign program is necessary which addresses building-mounted signs as
well as the ground sign. The applicant also needs to explain what will
happen if, in the future, one of the other tenants wants their name on
the ground sign.
- The sign's height and size needs to be reduced. A 7-8 ft. height was
considered appropriate.
- Additional site improvements (for example, landscaping) are desirable. .
In their absence, ASAC would like to retain the right to ask for such
improvements in the future.
Mrs. Anger agreed with the Committee's concerns, particularly the concern
regarding the sign's height/size. She felt that improvements should be
required now, rather than in the future.
The Committee voted (5-0) to continue the application to the next meeting.

1. Appl-Ication HC-51,582.1 - Mitchell Bros. Auto Parrs - Sign Program for an existing
commercial center. The subject property is located on the northeast corner of
Stevens Creek Boulevard and Adriana Avenue.
Presentation: Helen Lu Worthern Neon Sign Company) and Ken Mitchell representing
Mitchell Bros, Auto Parts; Ann Anger, 10185 Empire Avenue; Wes Williams, 10067 Byrne
Avenue.
The applicant modified the sign's height in reponse to comments at the last
ASAC meeting. The applicant indicated that the sign's width could easily be
reduced to the original 7 ft. 2 inches. The following concerns remained:
- Materials: The Committee expressed a strong preference for wood over metal
or plexiglass. They felt wood would be more consistent with the Monta Vista
character. Several members thought a wood frame would be sufficient, whereas
others appeared to feel that wood should be incorporated as a more dominant
element than merely the frame.
- Incorporation of other tenants: Several members were not satisfied with the
applicant's proposal to replace the face at such future tkle as other tenants
wished to appear on the ground sign. Members were concerned that, with only
one tenant using the entire sign in the meantime, the sign would be
overwhelming. Chairperson Nobel pointed out that nortally several tenants
would use the 50 sq. ft. which Mitchell Bros. is requesting.
- Emphasize center name (as opposed to tenant names).
- Letter size: "Auto Parts" is too large.
- Illumination: At least one member felt that illuminated plexiglass was neither
necessary, nor consistent with the Pionta Vista character.
The Committee suggested a dark brown background in order to approximate
wood. They also suF%iested that the applicant lock at Marius Nelson's sign
(Neli's Deli).

• ASAC Minutes of Vbve ber 21,`1982 (continued)
Mrs. Anger objected to the size of the sign and the lack of site Improvements.
She suggested waiting six months to a year until the future of the project
proposed across the street !Richard Childress' office/commercial building) was
determined.
Mr. Williams was concerned that the sign might be blown down by winds due
to its large surface area. He also indicated that the sign and planter might
be misleading once Adriana Avenue closest; drivers might turn at the planter/
sign thinkin;; it marked a street.
The Committee continued the application.

approximately" 475 ft. west of Tantau Avenue.
Presentation: Don Beck, Eric Engstron and Matt Wa.tte representing Grosvenor
Cupertino Partners and Trilogy.
Staff recommended that the sign exception to allow a sign to be oriented to
Freeway 280 be denied for the following reasons:
- The City has consistently discouraged such signs in the past.
- Approval of the exception would set a precedence.
- Signs along the Freeway could distract motorists and are inconsistent with
Cupertino's image.
The Committee approved (3-1) the sign exception regarding freeway orientation
per ASAC Resolution No. 1037.
The Committee approved (4-0) the exception regarding directional signs per ASAC
Resolution No. 1.036.

CONTINUED ITEM:
1. Application HC-51,582.1 - Mitchell Bros. Auto Parts - Sign Program for an
existing commercial center located on the northeast corner of Stevens Creek
Boulevard and Adriana Avenue.
Presentation: Ken Mitchell and Helen Lui representing Mitchell Bros. Auto
Parts; Ann Anger (10165 Empire Aven•le); Dick Childress (11701 Regnatt Road);
and Morey Nelson (21801 Stevens Creek bu,;evard).
Audience Comments:
Mrs. Anger - The area devoted to the Auto Parts Store is still excessive.
Airs. Anger was concerned that this will create the impression that 'houta
Vista is dominated by auto-related businesses. In addition, site improvements
should be required. She also indicated that tir. Wes Williams is concerned
about the size of the letters reading "Auto Parts".
Mr. Childress - Mr. Childress' concerns were similar to Mrs. Angers.
He felt that the overall size of the sign was ok, but the letter size
and area devoted to Mitchell Bros. should be reduced. He pointed out that
the sign area allowed per Ordirsrce was intended to be used by several
tenants , not one. Approval of the proposed sign could establish a precedent.
Mr. Childress was also concerned about the sign character/materials and noted
Monta was supposed to be spelled "Monts", not "Monte" as on the exhibit.
Mr. Nelson - Air,. Nelson questioned the necessity of internal illumination.
He would prefer a wooden, Victorian-style sign.
Committee Comments:
Two members: The proposal is adequate per staff's Recommended Resolution,
with the following modifications:
- Reduce the letter size of "Auto Parts" to the same size as "Mitchell Bros."
- The background color should be dark runt (not orange-rust) and all copy
should be ivory.
- 1 -
- The building-mounted signs should be 2 ft. in height and shoald-coosist
of an ivory background with rust copy.
B-.th members felt that a victorian-style, wood sign would appear c•;t-of-place
since such a sign would not relate to the building being advertised.
Two members: The proposal is not acceptable for the following reasone:
- A wood, externally-lit sign would be more consistent with the desired
Monta Vista character.
- Too much area is devoted to Mitchell Bros. The intent of the Sign
Ordinance is that this size of a sign be used by several tenants.
Recommendation: The sign proposal was denied (2-2) per ASAC Aesolutien
No. 1039 due to the lack of the majority needed for approval.
INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS:

located at the southwest corner of Wolfe Road and Homestead Road.

purpose is to maintain the existing continuity of brick from ground
to roof.
Recommendation: The committee recommended approval (4�-0).
3. Application 1;-U-82 Moyer Associates - Use permit to constr•aet a second
floor addition on an existing 7,100 sq. ft. one story office building.
The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Stelling Road
and McClellan Road.

4. Application 18-U-82 - Andrew P. Jara (George Somps, et al.) - Use permit
to construct an 18,000 sq. ft. two story office building. The subject
property is located on the north sid- .f Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately
200 ft. west of Blaney Avenue and 4, . ft. east of Randy Lane.
Presentation: Andrew Jara; Tom Siron (20064 Wheaton Drive) ; and Frank
Young (20074 Wheaton Drive).
Minutes of er f3, '�8� AA.Ar�i.
Audience CA mments: Both residents to the rear of the proposed building
were concerned that the two-story office stucture would overWhe` -- the
adjoining residential neighborhood. Tl,e Clesrleke Building was cited
as evidence that this would occur. Mr. ,groin noted that the City Council
had previously adopted a goal to protect the integrity of Cupertino's
residential areas. Hr. Young felt that turning the building 90 degrees,
and thereby moving it closer to the shared property line, would overwhelm
adjoining residences even more.
Committee Comments:
- 1he building is non-descript. Its dimensions are bad and materials
are poorly used.
- Consider moving the building closer to Stevens Creek Boulevard and
relating it to the two existing buildings.
- consider recessing the building into the ground in order to reduce
the building's height.
- Locating the driveway adjacent to the existing Aleo driveway could
be a traffic hazard.
Recommendation: The committee recommended denial (4-0).
5. Application 19-5-82 - John Vidovich - Requesting approval of a use permit
permit to construct a 62,000 sq. ft. three story office building. The
subject property is located on the west side of De Anza Boulevard approxi-
mately 250 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive and 450 ft. south of Mariani Avenue.
Presentation: John Vidovich, Sylvia Kwan, Denis Henmi, and Joe Brown
representing John Vidovich.
Committee Comments: The committee strongly liked the overall building
concept, but was concerned with many of the subtle details. They asked
that the applicant consider the following suggestions/questions and return
to the next ASAC meeting to address them:
- There seemed to be many concepts that were developed only half-way,
as though the architect were undecided or unsure of himself. For
example, the windows were recessed only one foot. Why not either
make them flush or deeply recessed.
- Materials: Brick is a traditional material and this is a contemporary
building. Would tile be Netter?
- The roof line lacks a sense of finality.
- Why is only the northeast corner of the building truncated? It seems
unbalanced. Consider cutting off all the corners or no corners. In
addition, the truncation implies a focal point with high activity on
the second and third floors, but this is not reflected at ground level.
- Don't set the building on a high pad.
- 3 -
i
Now does the building relate to the site? Provide a ewes-Sectlog.
Recommendation: None at this time.
