Mr. Oal.ley obtained clarification from the Water-District on the account of dedication, on the north side of the development adj acent to the 280 Freeway. The 'darter District had &Aed for only 5' of dedication. Dividend is allowing 81. They will be able to have an overhang and some landscaping within the 3' dtfferrse: Asa, the Water District has given permission for draieagw-of �thdsiV*Icpm nt into the canal. Also, the building on the south side has been shifted to the property line. Mr. Oakley reported that the lender will not allow a wood frdme building but has insisted on concrete block. This is not required by the Fire Code-according to Mr. Oakley. Staff' is--educerfted"abdtit the change in appearance from stucco to concrete block and duggtdd- that all galls adjacent to public thoroughfares be treated with stucco texturing. Applicant objects to this because of the cost. Chairpersow tlaudy suggested that if the grouting between the blocks was left flush and the walls .were painted, it would adaita3:ae. the visual impacts of the�i'Vl . Mr. Oakley said that from:a distance, this would not look like concrete block.

Mrs. Dorothy Zessutek, noted that the owner of the Greenwood AlpAtftteht6 wishes to keep this a private street (Olivewood Dr.), but that residents would have no _problem with having emergency access to the mini-storage complex. She note�`that� there have been two fires in the apartments and several minor alarms; the fire marshal had told her that the Department would use any mews to get to a fire and evacuate residents if necessary. Revised roof line relationship between Building A and the caretaker's resilience were shown. The roof will be the sans material and style. Consensus: Committee Members saga no problem with the roof Line relationship. r Mnrom OP= JA8may S, 1919 AsAc (; HG-Z09 Page 3 Regarding lmdacapiag,, it was noted- that the prapdsed landsdatpittg d'n the' apartmoint coLVI*x property by the applicant will not go I) 6*'daui-d the owner of the codes does not wish sdditf�al laaadsrapirig on ibiif site. The applicant provided written evidence of this statemaat. Mrs. Zessutek noted that thaira are 111 pines along this strdtch and 50-60 pyracanthe as well. Member Ripplinger named that there are also spots I which are skimpy. Chairperson Claudy cammented that any further laud- scaping along this stretch would be between the applicant and the owner of the apartment complex. Condition 18 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 1176 requires installa- tion of a hedge on the east slope adjacent to Blaney avenue overpass. - This is City property. The intent of the Planning Cc.misslon' l9 to ptgvS a screen. Mr. Caughey stated that the intent was a physical bairiar tath than a visual screen. Mr. Oakley asked why the developer of the lot show have to landscape this area if it is only to provide a barrier rather than to hide the development. Member Bond pointed out that this objection ShoUJ4 have been brought up at the Planning Commission level, since the A3Abl*as no power to overale the Piing Commission's Resolution. The Traffic Engineer has indicated that nothing should be planted 4a the upper part of the slope-siade this wnuZd interfere with tge 'Visibility of motorists trying for `see Cross-traffic coming `south over the oveerpass. (This point was brought by the Zeszuteks at the last ASAC meeting.) Hr.. Zes2ut c stated that they had wac ted to dondtd7 12 'trees a[lant,ehts area several years ago, but the City only allomed" 6,`of whicki'4 now remain. He stated that the only way to keep people from trampling plansing.in this a ea is to peat up a cyclone fence.: Chairperson Claddyy.agreed, size foot and bicycle tTdf fie would :dt allow plantings -to' gro* to the: desired height for screening. Member flan` commented that the ASAC cros make a recomksdatidn as -to the kind of planting material that would be desit ble on this'slope the Traffic Engineer's reco ran eudattion. Chairperson Claudy stated'thdt`the ASAC could propose planting of evergreens (24dnterey Pines`, for a ple), which would eventually provide a fair amount of screening and accomplish the aims the Planning Commission has in mind (as opposed to a hedge) . Member Ripplinger proposed that landscaping be continued until the applicant has had an opportunity to plat his landscaping or go back to the Planning Commission for modification or removal of the Condition. Mr. Caughey stated that since the landscaping ban is still in effect, the applicant could not install landscaping at this time anyaiay. Therefore, the continuance of this portion of the application mould not delay the start of construction. Chairperson Claudy noted that any landscaping installed on the north elevation (along the 280 Freeway) would have to use drip irrigation; he said he would like to see additional shrubs planted besides the trees and vines proposed by the applicant. Consensus - The landscaping portion of this application is continued.

A retaining wall will be built in some areas so that drainage will be into the project rather than into Sunnyvale. The easemmnt-currently the is now not needed. Since there war& several membery of-the audience preset_ for this _appUca tion, Chairperson Claudy opened the hearing to the public-.at.this tiatb Mr. Larry Z_rvin_; Vice-President of the homeowners association for t2 development on the Sunnyvale side of thee'p-roposeed development raised 46.1 objection to the height of the fence, which would be 8' . (V of- retaining wall and 6' of fe-ice) !oY`-soms of the Sunnyvale rmsidesnts: He-stated:'the such a structure woaalc, be hazardous to Sunnyvale residents since it would 1) present a fire hazard by blocking esc pe itom the back yards of the present residences, 2)the distance frr,m the units would-be very sm&LU, which would mean that residents along the boundary would be looping at an 8' concrete structure. Mr. Irvine stated that the structure should be no higher than the present fence and that it be made of wood. Chairperson Claudy responded that the only lot that would have concrete for the entire wall would be lot 54. This would be a sound wall. The concrete retaining wall would be only 2' high and the rest of the height would be made up of a grapestake fence, which would be wooden. The retaining wall is to achieve drainage aw-ay from the Sunnyvale properties. MM SC 209 MOMS OF TU JANUAU 5, 1978 AW XMING Page 6 ww { Mr. .day Tucker, another Sunnyvale resident affected by the devel t s noted that there has been soil added to the Cupertino property, but only about two f"t. r Mr. Harold Smith, who stated he is on the Board of Directors of the Homeowner's Association;: said that .the mmsard- roofw extend out ra�o►snit 4' which would surface drain out to the road. He also stated that the living areas of the units :are in tha trace; if these were a fire, rest-dents in the living area dould not be able to get- out 'the -front of their horses, and would have great difficulty getting over an 8' fence. Mr. L. Richey said that his cc ce rn is about drainage. He would rather see a high wall, since two story buildings on the Cupertino side will block the view anyway. Chairperson Clardy noted that Mr. Richey's property would have only a 6' wall. The proposed development, swill hAVe,$ftkM drains. Mark Caughey stated that one reason for the high fence was that:s ce the Cupertino property is higher them the Sumyvale property, Cupertitlans could look over their back fences right into the Sunnyvale back yards unless there were a high fence:..; Mr. Irvine said that he does not see:.awry: problem>with a-shorter=fencel, because .people can: look,dom into the Sunnyvale. yards: from than second story window aaaywaye HIL&,-couceaa,71s.-.with the fire hazard. -ad stated} that the maj ority of the hormswners:present,at a meetin&. a. couple-of months ago disagree with-the height.-of the, proposed. fencw. _Hw feats i that there should be a common fence that is-maintainable and.of an-sgreeabl-u height to both sides. Ns. Jones stated that the people In the Cupertino project would Etave- a 6' wall on the Cupertino side. The reason that a separate wall-wtll .be put up on the Cupertino property without disturbing the present wood fence on the property line is-so that patios which are attached to L -w&Us will not be disturbed .or damaged. .Mr. Sm,.th Comm sited that he spoke to Sunnyvale Public Safety .and 'they commuted that information about the high wall proposed has -been ;(or will ) transmitted to the fire department, so that they know to come around the back of the units in case people are trapped in back yards.- Member Bond moused and Member Sallan secondeid that the public hearing be closed. Motion carried, 5-0 Staff suggested that continuation of texture on the north flank of the retaining wall be achieved to enhance its appearance from adjoining Sunnyvale condominiums, even though there wo :d be a fence in front of it.

Staff feels that the proposed antique metal lamp style is not sympathetic to the contemporary lines and st::)ag emphasis on exterior woods of the approved bank building. They encourage a more modern approach and presented an example of an acceptable fixture. Staff was also concerned about the use :of a "pedestal-type" fixture. fir. Boyce stated that there is no concrete base on these fixtures and they will be in the planter areas. . The alumic 4m would be psintje�d ra i darker color to blend with the exterior o:: the bank.

' The proposed Tight fixtures are a combination of modern and t:radi:ti(Awa styles and would ,blend in.well. They are similar to light fixtures At Bruener's near Hamilton and Bascom.

Chairperson Gaudy commented that his personal taste runs to contempora -fir styling and that he agrees with Member Sallan's concern about the shape of the fixture. Mr. Boyce said that, 4k passible, he will try to get another shaped globe, but asked for approval of the Application this evening so that the bank could open with some-sent of lighting in the parking lot. The globes would go up, but if another Istyle can be found, they will be substituted at a later date. Member Sallan noted that a traditional style would fit in with the Baer property and sugge-ted that perhaps an agreement as to a certain fixture could be reached with the Baer property owners. i The hearing was opened to the public. Mr. Dunckley Murray, landscape i architect for the Baer property, stated that they would like to review the lighting situation. They do uct wish to be locked into a certain fixture.

Mr. Murray said that the owners are anxious to get going on the project and feel that as long as the roofing material blends ta, .it should be. approved even though it would not be the original material.

Mr. Ronald G. Smithson of Church Building Service Co. , Inca was present for this application. Site 1. parking stalls at the west side of the building are not at a minimum of 9.5 ft aij regr.-iced. This will be changed to meac the requirement. 2. Minimum 27 ft. aisle width is required in the rear parking area. 3. A trash enclosure is not provided. Mr. Smithson said that he would like to combines this with an enclosure for the manhole cover area. The Planning Comcdssion asked that the Committee evaluate closing the passe between the subject site and the Brunswick Building to the south. Thy: tnten of the Com»ission is to restrict public loitering is this area but still: permit police surveillance The Staff suggests the passage be Is-ft open as an urgency fire escape. The applicant proposes a gate at the coast edge of the passage. Chairperson Claudy suggested that two gates might be. - needed to keep peorle out entirely. This might cause some problem with emergency exit from the Brunswick building, however.- He: asked if Hz. Smith son had considered a gate 1J2 way between the, east and west edge. The ap,Licant said he had not. Member Sallan asked if there was ear lightftg in this passage. Mr. Smithson replied that he is not sure; however, he thinks Brunswick may have some lighting on this side of its building. He does not playa to have any, additional lighting. I-Ite gate should be discussed with Brunswick. The Coumttee discussed landscaping on this elevation. Mr. Smithson felt that this area should not be planted because of the heavy traffic going through there ,mad the lack of sunlight bemen the two buildings. Member Sallan suggested rocks or bark chips if nothing will grow. Mr. Smithson felt rocks would enc<.srage youngsters to throw there. 8e said he did not think Brunswick would object to doing something with this area of pare soil, but would have to work it out with them. Member "'and suggested that the area be asphalted over, since no one will see the area except for delivery and employee people. This would eliminate the problem of having to care for plantings and keep people from waltzing over t'iem. Mr. Smithson had no c jection to this and other members agreed this might be. the best solution. Another site concern of staff is the difficulty of getting from the Brunswi.c building to the proposed building without getting down into the parking lot. There is no continuous passage between the two sites:;- Member .Irvine suggested that part of the plaster area be made into a sidewalk. This would necessita e removal of one of the large concrete planter boxes between the two sites. a This again would have to be worked out with Brunswick since the planter. box is on their property. fir. Smithson indicated that he has been having trouble cutting through the corporate red-tape and cannot act directly on these items with the manager of the Brunswick. lanes. ,r KC-210 MINMS OF TM JANUARY 19, IS ASAC MWING Page 6 Architecture On the .cast .alevatica, the, applicant is- not certain. as to equipments t..

Since the apartments: to• the east of ,the site sre,,,t - story, they will have a view of the roof no matter what kind of screening is provided. Member Irvine, suggested that the parapet be continued.--:moms the north elevation instead of dropping off close to the aorthwest, orner. This would screen equipment from Homestead. Mr. Smithson noted that he expects the property to the north tc, be developed. The natural arrangement of this future development would be to have a building close to his site. This would completely hide his building-:front Homestead. He feels, r.hat the expvkwe of continuing the parapet would.-be wasted in this event,- apd�would rather screen the equipment than continue the parapet. There was discussion as to the use of doncrete block as a building material. Member Irvine .pointed out. .that about two years ago, McDonald's restaurant, was requited to use slumpstone to blend n,.with..the Brunw&ick building, even though it was quite a distance away from it. He stated that the front of the :Church Building Service. Company buil.ding.should to vithav_01MMstone or brick. Hr.

Landscaping Staff would like to sae more trees planted on the 20' strip between the Church Co. site and..the apartments to the east to provide some screening. At present, it is planted inn African Daisies and there is a wall between them which divides the strip in the middle. There is some question as to whether or not the Church Company owns the entire 20' strip. Mr. Smith- son had assumed the wall marked the property line; however, drawings show the property line being at the easternmost side of the 20' planter strip. Staff feels the screening should be a joint venture between Mr. Smithson and the apartment people. Chairperson Claudy noted that tree roots would have the entire 20' strip in which to expand, even though the wall is theme. The applicant had no objection to adding some trees to this area.

Se said that a program should be established which all tenants would follow and be aware of before deciding to lease. Mr. Smithson asked if a program could be worked out with tenants at: a Iz:!ar date. Mark Caughey noted that an Page 21 of the sign ordinance, it reeuire4 that a program be set at the time of initial construction. M3abet Bond expressed the opinion that the builder should not be restricted from start construction because there is no sign program. Member Irvine suggested the a program be established when the first tenant comes in, and later tenant: would have to follow that program.

Mr. Bill Donecho was present for the applicant. Mr. Bon Percy was ddable to attend. Member Sallan expressed concern about the closeness of the exterior walls to the streets, noting that additional Landscaping should be included to create the illusion of depth. Mr. Donecho said that there will be at least three feet of Landscaping. Extra guest parallel parking could be eliminate . Chairperson Claudy noted that the exterior sound wall along Stevens Creek Boulevard is a long atraieht wall and suggested that "jogs' in the wall be made to break this expsnsw. Member Sallan suggested that since the wall on Stevens Creek Boulevard is of primary concern, the application should be continued until a revised lanscaping plan can be submitted. Because of grading differences along Stevens Creek, the wall height should break t follow this, but no more than 6" at each grade break. Member Ripplinger still objects to the use of the readerboard fait the shopping center, saying that they could not be read from the street by a passing motorist. He felt the readerboard should be inside the development Chairperson Claudy noted that the center will be distinctive enough so peop e will know what it is. Member Irvine noted that the intention of the readerboard is to let passing traffic, both auto and pedestrian, know what is in Lhe center. Mr. Caughey pointed out that each bu3tness could have a much larger sign and the center is d"efinitely not over-,-Agued. ^ - ,2 OF .9. 1976 a :��$ ..

(Silver oak West) requesting approval of site, architecture, landscaping,`"grddi�l`. and signing for the construction of a combination residential and- z , x x y r, BP S +aF To POMAU 9, 1978 i commercial development located at the nf+rthwest .OP g tibn of Stevens Creek. Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard. Continued from ASAC meeting of January 19, 1978. Mr. Ron Percy gas present for this application. A. LandsgRee Phan,_. Mr. Percy reported that the request by the ASAC to create ti:e illusion of depth in the planter areas between commercial building and adjoining public streets has been solved by placing photinia fraaerti,, a,: rk' .LW plant, near the wall and greveliia noelli, which has a lighter green needle. closer to the street. 8e also noted that vines minor will be;~ tall-ed instead of a lawn area in front of the complex. It was requested that the wall on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard be moved north to prc:vide a minimum 5 ft. planter strip along this area. Mr. Percy reported that the wall will. be moved. The ASAC had also requested at the last meeting that shrubs be added to the landscaping in Informal,groupings tag create a less rigid dadscaoing style. Mr. Percy indicated that this would be done and invited ASAC members to come out to look.at planting lnaWlations when they are dotaw-i ,ft - said he would modify plantings until the ASAC is satisfied with the effect created. Regarding a grade bra restriction on. brick sound wall , Mr. Percy commented that under no circumstances will there be more thanL a two-*r1ck drop at any point. The driveway alignment at the southwest corner of the site has also been modified-,per staff direction. B. Sian Prosraan Member Rippl ngeu noted: that he still does oot .see the reason for a reader- board, commenting that }essing motorists would not be; able• to see all the signs without creating a dangerous traffic situation. Y'ir. Percy responded that he believes the readerboard will be effective, noting that traffic tends to back up at the corner. Each siga' will be a foot high and letters will be 4"-5" tall and recessed into the back- ground. There will be a maximum of S signs on the readerboard, depending on the number of tenants in the shopping center. Member Ripplinger noted that this would mean each business would have 3 signs; two on the outside wads and one over the business entry. Member Sallan noted that the ordinance allows a mid of 20 sq. ft. of sign per business. Thi,. applicsat's proposal would mean that each 'business would, have only 15 sq. ft. , b} t that there would be three signs.. She noted that this does not meet the signing criteria of the ordinance. She commented that this is not a typical commercial development because the complex is oriented inward There is only one wall reign to identify the development as Silver Oak West. If a readerboard is installed, the commercial intent would be met by having signing oriented to the street. She said she could not justify going against the signing ordinance Jr I MIHMS OF THE FFSRaARY 9, 1978 M WING OF THE ASAC ,,, ; r. ,� RC-211 Page 3 by allowing 8 businesses to identify thetaselves rather than. the 6 tip&-.a; normally allowed. Mark Caughey pcinted out that this is a planned development, which allows ASAC the flexibility to determine signing on its own merits. He also , noted that under the sign ordinance, each individual business could have the right to have 20 sq. ft. of signing. Member Ripplinger stated again that he does not think the readerboar,d would be effective, saying that i dangerous situation could be created as motorist tried to read the signs while moving. He.suggested that a sign identifying the development as a shopping center would be better. It was pointed out that if a customer were looking for a specific store, the readerboard would be very helpful for identification purposes. Chairperson Bond noted that the-'proposal is much less signing inns ;would normally be allowftd, but that the benefits would be greater in terms of aesthetics for the public. ® Mr. Percy questioned the reqttremRut, to provide a sound barrier 9L U,.,:the west end of the development (wall would be wrapped around from Stevens Creek Boulevard one lot deep). He noted .that these are garageW slang ,part of the length and that the Iresat could be parking. Chairperson Bgg4 noted that this is a Planning Co*issiont condition, which cannot.be.chanzed by the ASAC. He suggested that Ms. Perey 'either go back to the Planning Commission to have the condition rzem"ed or appeal it at the. C4,ty, ou cil, meeting. Mr. Percy indicated he would appeal the condition at.,.the C�1ty Coun ail meeting. Color slides were shown of the letter, colors proposed against a background of red brick. The Silver Oak West sign would be a wood stain background. The applicant proposes a silver tree, orange copy and an outline of black. Member Sallan commented that the silver of the tree stands out very prominently, which would make a strong statement which may be overwhelming. She also noted that she does not like the orange and silver combination. She suggested that black letters be used. The tree would be 5' tall. Mr. Percy said that the tree could be black if there is a strong objection but that the theme of the center and reason for the tree on the sign was that of a silver oak. He noted that the silver could be toned down a bit so that it would not be too strong. He noted that he would like to have a tasteful development and would not Install a garish sign. Member Irvine noted that he did not have any strong fear of too much silver. He stated that the sign is creative and the applicant should have-,a chance_. to express it. He suggested that the ASAC could condition the approval so that if the sign was objectionable to most members it would have to be changed. �C-233.

He was not sure when a tenant woui.d cove in. Be said the owners *could like to have Carl's R3r;:- ; have the sign with certain conditions. Member Ripplinger referenced Condition 17 of-Planning Commission Resolution No. 1552 and commented that this should go to the Planning Commission. Mr. Caughey noted that Staff had proposed Condition 17 at the time the parcel was divided last year. The intent was to make sure there would be no more than one ground sign for the entire site. He said Staff feels the Committee should approve the sign for Carl's Jr. on an interim basis;wbAn another tenant comes in, they can work out together whether another sign or this sign i am-= KMW= OF TU VMRUUI 'W Page.,h would remain Member Ripplinger said signing,should tie in with the PayldsiV j i l or be at least complementary since it is being considered as one area. She said, however, that she was not convinced that ft is a hardship not to have the ground sign. Ms. Northrop noted that from the goint of vlaw of a person who is not familiar w{th the area, the restaurant is not noticed until the person is past it. She said she had had several people drive by the area without telling them the purpose and found that matte 'people did not notice the restaurant. The position of the restaurant in relation to the heavy land- s:p-'ng near the entrance off Franco`$tkadt' *does not allow enough reaction tame for people to turn in at that entrance.

NEW BUSINESS Rewording of Standard Architecture and:,Site Approval Committee Coition B Mr. Caughey stated that this coodttion is the one which references the policy document which prohibits installation of landscaping until the end o` the drought unless previously approved. Previously approved laandscapin could be installed if a drip emitter system were installed along with 50Z drought resistant plants. In an information follow-up letter, Mr. Caughey noted that there is mixed reaction among landscape architects about the drip emitter system* °ft `° noted that a suggestion by Mr. Alex Tchalemian (Landscaping' Cickh air)' to use conventional systems coupled with a timing device which pegsets the irrigation cycle to select certain increments and patterns in order to control the duration of time during which a sprinkler system is operat- ing - in other words, a landscape management approach seems to be interesl ing. Member Bond noted that Hewlett-Packard's drip system is a success betause of diligent maintenance. He noted that if the water is filtered, sow of the clogging problem is eliminated.

De Anza Boulevard. Mr. Andrew Jars and Mr. Ed Wood were present for this application. Mr Jars is the architect and Mr. Wood is the laadscape architect. Site It was suggested that a coutinuous planter berth in place of concrete wheel stops be used in the parking area. - leer Irvine disagreed with having landscaping along the building because it would be traded by people,going into the building. Mr. Jara indicated that the ,w.Wr- objects to having autos overhang a planter area because,of poesible-drips -f=m radiators or cars being wetted by sp.riakl:era or: damaging:sprinkler heads.

She noted that if the lot was full, a motorist would have to back out of the lot onto the street because of lack of .turn around apace, Mr. Jara stated he feels there is adequate ,spaces for a ham t edad;t:ura► for cats backing out of a panning space has allowed 30 ft. Member Band asked if the applicant masts the minimum parking requt.remen,t and suggested that if there are extra spaces, those could be .marked mo parking so that there would be more turnaround space. :ft. Caugtar noted that this applicant has one parking space for every 188 sq.' ft,. of offics space. The twa center standard has been sstabiished 'at 'I for 260 Mr. Java noted that he does not feel the turnaround will be a problem except in rare cases, when the lot is couplstely full. He Indicated, that the town center parking is rarely full and that this building would ae professional offices with less traffic turnover than a comercial area. Se would like to have the extra spaces for parking as proposed. Member Sallan noted that there is a 25' setback requirement which the applicant meta, snd;:asked about the rear property setback. Shd��6ugsdftel that if there is enough ;roost, a one hate drivaway be built. 1&:`Chia aY answered chat there is a 20' setback _from the rear wall -of the building Chairperson Claudy asked, for a poA of ;the rCo=rdttoe_:at to: thsr:the Members would deny the application beewase of the dead 4*4 Parkins situation. He noted that the Planning Commissioa most. approve the atta layout and this was done. It was also appso"d by the City. Council, This Committee cannot make a condition reversing this. The appliceaio�►,>: If denied, would have to go back to the Planning, Owe ssion, or the City Council could overturn the ASAC denial. '!ember Irvine asked if the applicant would consider at continuance,.in, or!- der to study the parking area. He suggested. that the parking, c044 b,_e grouped together to provide a loop for traffic and the building cool$ be moved to one side. Mr. Java disagreed with the ides, noting that the parking on each side was done to soften the look of a sea of asphalt{: and blend in with the architecture of the building. Ma,_ar Irvine indicated he was not sure if he would deny the application since both the Planning Commission and the City Council have already approved the concept. Member Sallan said she would vote to deny the application because of the importance of smooth traffic flow. She suggested that if Member Irvine's suggestion about putting the two lots together were implemented, the lot could be landscaped to get away from a large asphalt expanse, !Member Bond said he would probably vote for denial and that a solution could probably be worked out. i Mr k, HC-213 HM=d OF THE HAM 9, 1973 ASAC MEETLIG Page 4 Member Ripplingaer said there may be an occasional problem with paacfiAng, but that any solution would detract from the architectural sont4.., Chairpersoa Claudy said he would vote for app.ova2 of 'the-appiiiation. Mr. Jara proposed putting a 10' drive in the rear of the building. Meter Ripplitiger stated that once a decision is made to prat. in a drive- way, it would have to be a 2-way drive because people would use it in both directions. Mr. Caughey noted that 16' would be needed-for a-aaae- way drive. He feels this i..s a redesign and the public haariag:ia qot the place to make this decision. He is not certa;n this would,-be acceptable to the Traffic engineer and suggested a c*utinuesca,of the application. Member S$l.l= agreed with this. Mr. Jara asked if a condition-could be appealed at the City Council meeting. Chairperson Claudy said that a condition may be appealed at that level and noted that the applicant can -also request an- approval or denial of the ASAC tonight and appeal it to City Council. Architecture The Planning Cor= sszon suggested that the, applicant attempt to add more interest to the building;elevation. The applicant Proposed adding column/arch re.Uef from-plans of the building to create, ah`adov. He proposed a 2" projection from the wall for arches and columns and 4" for capitals. Staff feels this should be at least 6" and and 9" respectively, and suggested that these dimensions be specified. Mr. Sara feels 2" and 4", would be enough shadow-. He agreed ifiat-A and 9" Would -create more shadows, but may~act-bi worth the extra'cast if 2" and 4" are adequate. "He asked if the ext`ea projection would` reduce the setback. Mr. Caughey said that set 4ck is measured" from ` the mall and not the projection. Chairperson Ci"sudy and. Mmbi'Sallaa rioted that a little mare depth would be desirable. Mr. Jars said he would not object to making the dissensions g" and 9 Staff also suggested adding heaver wood trim casements tc the windoww frames per the applicant's original use permit proposal. Mr., Jaza- said he would like to get away from wood because of maintenance, . difficulties and different expansion gates which may create voi4a?.. Hember Irvine prefers the wood triad. Staff suggested that the Commuted may uish to discuss adding interest to the roof design by extending purlins + 1 ft. beyond eaveline. The applicant said this would be acceptable. fhe Committee felt that the extension of tha columns would create adequate interest and that wood trim an window frames would not be necessary. L.mds c ER in The Staff suggested the visual interest of the east and west property' lines could be enhanced by intermixing clusters of trees with the oleander proposed. Mr. Wood said that drought-resistant evergreen will be interspersed at these boundaries. .nnR= OF THE NARM 9, 1978 ASAC XMING gC-Z13 age 3 Staff also suggest&& that the Dodonaea Uscosa proposed for the ,south property lue should be an, 6 to=-g+ centers: , ° . , ed,uotAd thaa�f�i would add two tore plants: He " d chat sh' ll .ad i verNi U+ spread auyvay and the twd� a=ra wiyl not"'be t; fir; 'ttYig [ be Installed.

Chairperson Claudy noted that there could be only 3 on each side of the sign, for a total of 6. He suggested a directory inside to list tenants and the ground sign used for the building and address identification only. Mr. Caughey noted that the ordinance states the intent of signing for professional office districts is to ider tify the office complex itself, but there is aothing which specifically stages tenants may not be listed. i I EC-213 MOPES OF THE HAM 9. 1978 ASAC MEETING Pap 6 Wombs S&U=L 4wLd sba.VouLd l to see a sign.,. member Bahl notod that .than ei BApar;, 4 :the spgl3c„tst aava..to be ca€n��md-Mtil ttt6 .t®.Lor samples ta8" "ot1eWd,,4P1k£LEtW�?s appZ raait c. di t±m�+� the pign_to have only,.bu;iXd$ag-14"giflcat l- tead of en tant `l *Aft .

Application HC-51,449.1 - B.A.S.-Homes of Cupertino requesting approval of landscaping for a residential development located at Bandley Drive and Green!aaf Drive, Tract 6259. B,,A.S. domes was represented by Mr. yoke Meter. Mr. Ed tjood was also present as the landscape architect. Mr. Caughey commented that a condition of the use permit requires landscaping and sound wall approval by the ASa . Ripplinger asked why the area would need a sound wall, since it does not front a major street. The applicant replied that a redwood or red cedar fence was originally propc9ed to give t,isidents of the future developuLat privacy; however, the Planning Commission and the City Council required a soLad study. The result of the study is that a 6' sound wall is required. v, t DES OF YdE MARCH 9, 1978 ASSAC M. EETING HC-213. ° Page 9 In response to a question by Member Irvine about the maintenance of the landscaping, the applicant said that B.A.S. Homes will see that the plantings have 'A good start and then the. City will tape over L.zintenan:e responsibility, which will be paid for by the development. This will be in effect for 10 years. At that times, the pleats°:should be fully gr ; and require minimal maintenance. The homeowners will then be re.-poasible for its me .atenance. Regarding the Public Works Department's requirement for a meandering ! walkway along the frontage of the subdivisions, Mr. Wood noted that this would create small pockets of landscaping which mould be difficult to maintain; he etated he would rather have a straight walkway along the street. He stated that if the width of the area was greater (it is 20'.) meandering would be effective. He noted that he would recommend a 30' minimum width for meandering to be effective, which is not the case hare. :Member Hipplinger asked why a 25' minimum requirement is not required. } Chairperson Claudy replied that the City Council has made an exception in 1 this case. Mr. Cauaboy noted that a meandering walkway to tht north of the property now erlsts. Chairperson Claudy noted that this other area is a business and the business would maintain it. In the application, 4 the Citf would have to take care of the landscaping. ; Consensus: 1.11embers agreed that a meandering sidewalk should not be rte- quires d for•the following raasgns: 1) The Planning Commission approved a cutback in the setback requirement frold 25' to 20'; a meandering walk in is the smaller area would create po&ets of landscaping-which would be torre difficult to maintain; 2)T1u. lot was originally intended to be commercial ! instead of residential, so the maintenance of the landscaping will,-be done by the City sathea than a commercial bossiness; and 3) The street in this area does meander already. Regarding the type of plants to be installed, Mr. good noted that redwood; Cysaaothus, and other planted mater:tal will be p1gAted. The wall has a, sandcast finish and get an undulating effect. The color will be the ! color of Santa Cruz sand rathet ,han white. With the landscaping, in front, the fence should fade away in perception. Since there ware no comments from the audience, Member Sallan moved and Member Irvine seconded that the public hearing be closed. Motion carried, 3-0 Member Bond moved that Application HC-51,449 .1 be approved subject to the Approval or Standard ASAC conditions 1-8 and conditions 9 and 10 as follows: Application I HC-31,449.1 9. The recouctendation of approval is based upon Exhibits B and C of this applicatiou except as may be amended by special conditions contained herein. 10. The proposed sound control barrier shall be constructed per specifications contained an Pages 10 and 11 of the Project acoustical , Report of Edward L. Pack Associates dated January 30, 1978. Grade breaks for said sound barrier shall not exceed 6 inches vertical difference between top of wall for adjoining sections and shall be i as few in number as permitted by proper engineering practice. i 1 s M 4 . BC-213 : S OF THE MARCH 9, 197E ASAC MEETING Page to The motion was seconded by Member Irvine. Motion carried., 4-1 Member Ripplinnger dissemtiag _. Member Bond noted that the Comittee as a group feed that a sound w wall is not is the interest of the people of Cupertino. 5. Application BC-51,441.1 - B.A.S. Homes, Inc. requesting approval of sound barrier architecture and landscaping for a residentia Aevelop- mant located adjacent to and westerly of Pbothill Boulevard- opp*site the intersection of Alpine Drive and Foothill Boulevard. The same applicants were present for this application as for the previous application. r:4.itber Sallan proposed that the sound barrier architecture and positioning be considered before the landscaping since the landscaping plan would depend on the wall position.. Members and applicants had no objection. The applicant noted Pt at wince the grading of the site is el4remely varied (there is a drop of at least 30-35 ft from one .end to the other), the positioning of the wall was va g carefully comiored so ,aa t save as many trees ss possible. Chairperson Claudy camm=tod tires one coed of the site is above the level,.of the road, whereas,_C6e. otbar end is below the level, of the road. Landscaping and wall, positioning near Lots 20 and 21.were of, they 9Wgt concern. tor. Wood commented that the original plan had 40', of,la scaping at this corner and the wall was positioned dUfe etllr._ A£ger studying the grade at this point, it was decided to bring the wall closer to the road (an extension of Alpine Drive) and paralleleft in the original configuration, the wall would either be alaoUng; ems.at an odd angle, or have many jagged: grade breaks. The entrance.to,the, site was narrowed to give on Impression of separation from,the, outside. The south side of the entrance Also has a loss wall to balance the effect of the high 8' wall on the north side. The landscaping was reduced on the east boundary o.f lots 20 and 21 to give tree resident more space. Committee Menbers objected to the reduction in landscaping in this area from 40' to only 3'. Mr. Wood proposed re-positioning the wall so as to allow 10' of landscaping east of lot 20. Member Sallan asked if there would be any two-story homes along Foothill. The applicant indicated that lots 20-25 would be split level homes be- cause of the grade drop in front of the homes. The view from Foothill would be as if they were one-story homes. all five homes in lots 1-5 will be one-story also. He noted that the sound enginear laid out the design of the soundwall heights so that sound would be above the level of the house windows. Mr. Caughey noted that the wall configuration was approved by the Planning Commission aad the Committee should give findi.:gs if the configuration is to be changed. Member Sallan'said she would like to have a drawing of the original configuration; how high the small would be and how the deviation would make it more aesthetically pleasing. MINUTES OF THE MAC 9, 1978 AUC MEETING 213 The applicant said that Mr. Wood is constrained by some other things, 'Aug The, grading; and, position of'the wall is not M41y co idgred�4A t; until a.ft,ar the .preliminazy draws-g is submitted., _The.-or!kVi#al eition of the SMU is not.practical., ..Member Sallaa ssng stead; that thawall portion of .the application be: continued until the applicant cans present the original plan along with the modification. Member Bond armed cd=zh Mt. Wood retarding the repositioning of the wall near the entrance to the slte however he questioned giving up 401 of landscaping for '10 1. The 101 may-not be adequate screening of the Wall. Member Sallan commented that the issue is the depth of landscaping: - There is a large discrepancy between the original plan and that, now proposed, and also from one end of the site to the other. She asked if 301 -could be used. Chairperson Cl aaft'asked to see a rendering of the 10' setback. Mr. Wood replied that the original plan was conceptual in nature "and that details are not decided at that point. Mr. Caughey noted that one reason Staff considers the ali,gnmant of the wall as set by the original play is condition 17 of the use permit. The applicant said his iaterpretation of this, condition was that w. many tress as possible should be saved. Mr. Caugheg suggested that a continum ce is in order to clear up the interpretati.an of this condition. Member Irvine noted that the-Committee does not haves a_ grading :play; without this, he continued the configuration of tha wall_-om the caper in question c moot be adeggotelp addressed. tie notipd that: tke;:drgwing originally submltted tote*,that the ,planAs for use permit--appAiggtiO�a and sound fiaadings, which implies it's not final. Mr. Wood noted that jnotheer reason for moving the wall closer to. :thp street is that the lots drop sharply. In order to meet the sound Wirier requirements, the wall would have to be 12' to 15' high. In the current proposal, the wall is placed at the top of the slope, which makes for a loner wall. Chairperson Claudy noted that a 12' to 15' wall would be much too high. Member Sallan questioned !Lke procedure if the Committee ware to approve a deviation so different from the original plan; would the application have to go back to the P2ananing Commission. He asked if the Committee and applicant would be c-, ortable with a continuance so that ^gtaff could get together with the applicant to work out a solution. He asked what the Committee would accept. Member Ripplinger stated that a problem of grading exists. The applican is limited because the City Council and Planning Commission also want to have as many trees as possible saved. Member Sallan said she would like to have the application continued to allow Staff and the applicant to develop a -lasa; the Committee would the view this plan vs. the applicant's proposal. She noted she is not un- comfortable with the 10' landscaping but she is not comfortabl6 with a , 30' deviation from the original proposal either. i it HC�213 MTtiMS OF =Z MARCM 9, 1978 ASAC :iEEMG Page '12 QuA per - Claudy a9&-ed'w*&Z' tDn+a mofmam ddvia%lft--row thd� 5 8 `piaa is --that, the Comedtters•-A?el aecept-ao that. , d6 "tfftave to.come back to the 4Andttee_� Xr-;;':S weed asked7i€-nth aouLd-,be sor6val with the condition. 3f modting, azL.th.-araf:f tocode.,-to aclutlon4 Regarding landscaping, Chairperson Claudy asked^how erosion would be controlled.

Member Irvine agreed that this. space should be eliadaiae d-, but glom safety standpoint. He stated that a car backing out'af" this space would fc,rce another car tr1ing to enter the lot at the same cime to wait is I*o sidewalk area. Member Ripplinger asked achy the spaces are at an angle. Mr. Flemming ` said that this is to allow an 181 area for traffic between the end of the parking stall &-id thA building. This mould allow 2-way traffic. Member Irvine pointed out that c:,?.rs that are leaving by the Stevens Creek entrance w.uld be between the parking stalls and any cars crying=te pane in •ehe angle4 spaces along the east -side. This is counter to the 'traffic flow. He suggested reversing the angle of the stalls in the opposite direction. Mr. FlamWAS awwazed t�at this is the way the lot has been for -any years and there has not been a safety problem. Also, ehey area hoping that most of the exiting traffic will use the a.-cess to the east when this is developed. Reversing the angle would require cars to circle ', the lot to the rear in order to approa.h the spaces. Ii TP TU �" "� 5. SC-214 11CQn= OF THE MARCH 23, 1978 ASAC `"ANWTUG Page a G i�.,ftffiber Irvine stated thai patrons would have to make the same movement `around the lot to the rear to leave if they use the-Stevens dime 'access. 'Member Ripplinger noted that the configuration of th& stalls, at"present i could be a dangerous situation. He asked if the Traffic Engineer had addressed this point. Mr. Caughey said that the site plan was re,vie ,d by the Traffic EngiLwer, but that reversing the angle of the stalls was not discussed. There -s an agreement between the Adobe, the new Chrisman- Taylor property and the_ Custom House proposed that will tie together all 3 parking lots. This would provide an access to the east of the Adobe . Inn property. Chairman Bond noted he would be opposed to- reveing' the parking stalls r Mr. Resuming said he would be willing to go along with the City '�rnffic Engineer in this mutter, and noted that no one suggested th"s are a problem when the site t-lan was reviewed. If the Traffic Yagineer di dales the stalls "should be reversed, the landscaping should tote into the east ;property line 'Member Sal stated, she would rather see one stall given up per the Staffs suggestion if the stalls; are left at -the angle• proposed) in_ favor of more landscap ag. Member tiipplinger agreed. Another concern bra up in the staff report is the- requimimit for <: n a 6 ft masonry barrier.'between this site and the adjoialAg apartmeti4E° '` complex. Mr. Flemming also objected to this requirement, sayUrg-t&at 1 whoever builds first should be responsible for building the wall. When the apartment complex was built, they, should have built a wall. =='- IThis cost of building the wall would limit improvements to the Adobe s site. Tue applicant may just resurface the parking lot and leave thci rest of the site as is. Time extra cost would prohibit full developti'enit`. Mr. Caughey po? lted out that any condition can be a6jected to at: t3ee'- City Council level. He suggested that this Is a .egal question thi the City attorney should research end the City -Council c1scide. Wm�i Z`rlr`i.ne stated the City would have no means of forcing the apartment complex to build the wall should the decision be that it has the responAbili'*7 for building it, since they are not applying for a permit in this case:` Mr. Flemming said that there are just open carports facing the Adobe` Inn p ror a rty from the ap art ment complex and he does not see why the wall was not built when the complex was. Chairman Bond noted that it may be a good idea to have pictures of the area in question. Lands cap in g Staff suggested addition of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus at each end of center parking stall bank, and at irregular intervals along west perimeter of the site. This should be changed to along west perimeter of the parking lot because there are existing palm trees along the west- perimeter of the remaining area. -,* Wa G Y,._'. .0 -=_s2S' s,.e +r#; 3t'` f •,r s Ea"e$. ,., ' r V-MR ES 6F THE X&M 23, 1978 ASAC :+ ING HC Zl!. ;Page 9 suggested deleting Staff also su tins most ground cover on Stevens Creek Bled, 4on,tose 1n�favor 0. 4�ia�� o a OvaTSMe4 .tom,, .�s� Abt ths i ISPOV6 sd dr tite,C " Tav4r;bu.�di *, ,t ,,,� WazAAS,,. psndr auto�St thra� 11' be 8+ t® thei west ("r -_ s .�1i:i eA � �S4i A He a �3 a.'xt�'ar the area in question would hide the,ibuur fdfotblvt t ,ft_cold -66V like to have large trees in the front.

Be said he would like to be -sere -no water run an to his property from the site. The second is regarding landscaping The 1 gallon plants proposed along the rear of tbe.sivs axe inedeq,�te. He wield like to sue a tall screening planet or something that will,blend with what is already there to provide screenftg and privas for tt-4; Hardman's and for the future residents of the Pisano site. He said:he has no concerns with possible blocking of -sunlight into his yard; Ths second landscaping concern is relative to the type of plant proposed. The proposed plants are tulip trees, which are not good for a pool,betaus they are deciduous trees and have a spreading root structure which may damage a pool. Se stated a preference ,for-saw tree .that is slot deciduous and has a different root structure. Mr. Pisano said he has no objection to changing the trees in the rear to an evergreen with a non-sgreadIng root structure. A hedge of Pittosporum Tenuifolium is proposed at the rear of the property. Member Sally asked thee maximum height of this shrub and noted they should be 5 gallon minimum rather than one gallon initial size. Member Irvine -ndrad-that if the initial size, is 5 gallonb obe- centers imay need to be widen. Chairman Boma 'summarized the COMAttem's agreement that the Pittospnrum-:should remain; but at a.5 gallon iAitW size, the centers to be determined by-Mr. P1saao!e landscape archtt-orm and approved by the stuff; and that praposed Atulip„tseea be teplared,, with as evergreen tree with a non-spreading mol system. Mr. Hardman indicated this is acceptable. Another landscaping concern was brought up ;by the staff; that is, that the proposed Quercus Ilea trees be changed to :another plant becayse,of: neighborhood problem with Oak Root Fungus. Mr. Pisan agreed with this suggestion. He asked that the suggested requirement for 15 gallon initia size along the side of the site be reduced to 5 gallon. Member Irvine noted that since this Ls out of the public view, he does net see any problem in reducing this requirement to 5 gallon. 7enber Sallan agreed, and added that 1 gallon plants proposed also be changed to at least 5 gallon size. Another concern brought up by Mr. Hardman is that of safety. He noted that there are 2 pools adjacent to the Pisano site and that there are many youngsters in the neighborhood. He is concerned that equipment used while the site is being deyelopei may knock holes in the fences, which would allow children to wander'into the pool areas. He suggested that a fence be constructed on the Pisano site to preclude this. PRIME HC-215 ES OF THE APRIL 6, 19 :%SAC MEETING Page 6 Mr. Rasmussen expressed this concern also, saying that if panels were Anocked out' of- his_fencei a child could get.to:. ee p9�v,�.: and poa��bly eosin::.- expresde4,h4.s; opiniou. .that a_7peftf3neftt:fence be,erected: Ms. Phyllis Pisano noted that inspectors come out every few days and *MWW seW,1f knocked frow.the 4ence, She >statednthat the 1 only time theaezwould be heavy equipment:in: ,:area would be in the very beginning:_when gradIn&would be done.. and at:the. and. Chairman Bond asked wby.the.ASAC is involved In this particular discussion Mr. Caughey stated that the residents feel that protection against a possible. accident should,be-obtained. He added that,She= City Attorney-does-not feel the city can impose a condition for permanent fence in this,case. The discussion about a permanent -fan. should be left to the applicant and the residents of the neighborhood.

Chairman Bond commented that he 'wouid rather have the extra landscaping in the corner staff proposes for the handicapped stall. Consensus - The Committee agreed to leave the handicapped stall where the applicant proposes to put it. The second site concern is regarding the trash enclosure. The applicant has relocated it in accordance with the wishes of the Planning Combission, but would like to, eliminate the gatea on the enclusure' Mr. Weil=e*ia5ne that the trash cam would have to be moved 'sat of the enclosure 3 tiides a week and returned to the enclosure.

Mr. Weil noted that it would not_be difficult to police the-area- to be sure.,the dumps tors would be inside the enclosure. Co=:Lttae Viers -agireed.'to ailav elimination of the gates. A third concern regarding site wav that of the bicycle rack location. Staff noted that the rack is considerably re6oved from the building -mtry and that the windowless wall in the area permits poor surveillance of bicycles. It was suggested that the .racks be moved to the pprogindty of the entry. Mr. Weil noted that If the handicapped stall is left in the same place, the bicycle parking must be left in the saw place due to'configuration of the site. The racks would'be the type in. which the wheel would be placed and the bikes would be lockable. Member Sallan suggested that the location be reconsidered and worked' out with the staff. Member Irvine noted that if the racks are out of site from the shop, cyclists will parr them in front of the entcry anyway to allow for surveillance. Mr. ;.Peepari suggested moving them to the corner. Chairman Bond,noted tbat the racks could be mdved" to the approzdmats NE comer of the build ng. Committee mamtierst: agreed. The final configuration will be subject 'to staff approval. A final site concern is the masonry wall surrounding the site. The applicant proposed a s1u*.stone wall, which Is similar to the e4st*g wall around the B.A.S.- development, but ,14; 04t "p as ilters `and unpai i ed. Mr. Peepari'explained that he feels the grey cold r of the, slumpsta><aP' would match the Donut Wheel building better.. Member 5allaffi noted that grey may not look as good as a sandstone color. Mr. Weil commented that it may break the monotony of the brown wall. Mr. Peepari noted that if the grey_color is not attractive, it qq be painted at a latex date. Chairman Baud noted that this 'wall 'csp►at be seen from De Ahi Blvd, which is the ASAC's major conce=. He stau�d he would like to have the color subject to staff approval. Architecture The only possible coac..ru is with screening of the mechanical equipment. Mr. Peepari noted that the screening provided should be adequate while keeping the building at a law profile. There were no Staff or Committee concerns witu architecture. Landscaping d Staff had, no concerns with. landscaping. Chairman Bond noted he would like to see some tall plants along the blank.wall in,tb,- rear elevation. Mr. Peepari noted that some of the proposed plants will attain a height of 7' to B'.

Mr. John Sobrato was present for this informal review. Chairman Bond noted that the artist's rendering of the proposed building is decep-ive because it looks farther away than it would be from the street (120 ft.) . Mr. So rato said that the building will be depressed 6' and that there will be mouiidings in front of the- building. fr y PYC hx"y'. fiU,t, Y } sP f (} �'-' 7 ji F 3 HC-216 i MINUTES OF THE APRIL 20, 1978 ASAC MEETING -- Page 2 i I Member Sallan asked why more of the trees existing on the site are not going to be saved. Mr. Sobrato rep•.ied that nearly 1/2 of the trees were saved-, however, because of the size of the building and because °the applicant wishes to stay as far away as possible from the street and still n keep the building in the middle of the parka a r,, lot, no mile.treds oaf d' f saved. 1 Member Rippl_inger said he doesn't have any problem with the application except with the height of the building. Mr. Caughey noted that there is no height restriction in a Planned Development. Mr. Sobrato noted that with the 6' depression of the first story and the mounding, the building would look like a 3=story building. He noted that the present IV Phase building is 35' in height. This one will be 58' in -height and has n`:'. higher budget. It will be a class A bu_lding and will tie -atti atiive. He also noted that there will be no equipment on the roof: it will be underground. Member. Sal.lau noted that since the building is only 1301- from De Anza Blvd.. this would be a lot of mass very close to the street.- Mr. Caughey commented that a 60' building with a 120' setback is not an unusual proportion-,and that moving it further may defeat the parpese, by ,making details_of. the architecture too far away to see.` airman' Bond. commented that-the viers from De Anza Blvd. is 'oaf the endA,of- the building_at. an angle and: would be,a better view tnau,a- long viail= of building. Member Sallan noted that the landscaping along the perimeter is only 7' instead of the 8'-12' that was requested. Mr. Sobrato pointed out that there are some hefty-.areas of landscaping= chirfi M'"ha `ed`wbid make up for the narrowness of Lhe perimeter landscaping. He-riotsid,th't the landscaping could be wider by 2' if the parking lot rows were each 1/2' narrower. The Committee would prefer this wider planting stripe and Mr. Sobrato agreed to abide by the previously-imposed condition. Member Rippli.ge.r noted that the landscaping in front of the IV Phase manufacturing building is not yet in and the building may look Iet:te.z ., _ when it is instilled. Mr. Sobrato agreed that the 50' of greenery would look much better than 50' of dirt. Chairman Bond noted that the turning of the building to the angle proposed is interesting and the U-shape would make a b-reak fn.,t view from De Anza Blvd. Member Ripplinger suggested taking out the drive in front :o£ the building and making it all landscaping, Mr. Sobrato noted tbzt the Fire Department may have a problem with this and also he would not like to lose the parking in this area. Chairman Bond suggested just taking cut some of the parking stalls directly in front of the bu- Iding an! making this landscaping. 5-U-78 Stevens Vista (Terrence Rose): to construct a 20,000 sq. ft. single story commercial/medical/office building located at the northwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Vista Drive.

Vubd letter' were previously approved for the whole center. He mentioned that the hanging signs will be S -1/2' from the ground. ?Member Ripplinger said he agreed that the hanging sign should*be aZowe , but noted-that if the transom signs were allowed,, the' fascia ii would be close to this and would- result fa two signs` close together--, VI g Peterson commented that the transom would be hidden by the over g and is 15' deep. Chairman Bond reported that at another recently , Lcpes� shopping cec-er, the sign above the store is too high to be vlslb',�e and blends In with the architecture so well that the stores are. difflcult to locate. Member Sallan stated she is not in favor of allowing a sign atgthe door. Member Ripplinger said he prefers not to see anything above thz door unless it is truly an architectural embellishment. The applicant proposes something which would primarily be a sign, not architecture.. Member Sallan added that if not having a sign on the transom creates a hardship, the applicant can always come back to the ASAC. Mr. Peterson asked if the Committee would allow him to give his tenants a choice of either a transom sign or the hanging sign. Member Sallan indicated she would not agree to this. Member Ripplinger and Chairman Bond said they would find this acceptable. Regarding the color of the copy for signs, Member Ripplinger said he does not want a rainbow of colors allowed. Mr. Peterson said that he would come back with each sign. He suggested a spectrum of earth tones be allowed. Member Sallan did not agree with this proposal, saying it would take a lot of time to come back every time a new sign was to go up. She would rather keep the white or an ivory color for all tenants. ++a KC-216 MINUTES OF THE APRIL 20; 1978 ASAC 1MTING Page 6 Chairman Bond said he would go along with a spectr of acceptable colors.

Member Ripplinger asked how a customer would know the office"is that of a realtor and why the initials "C&C" and then the aaste are included. , ; Mr. Marquis said that C&C is a well-known realtor. apd the initials are used as a sort of trade mark on all ads. The applicant wanted to keep the sign simple and not add the word "realtor". The proposed sign is similar to that of V.I.P. Realty next to it. Member Sallan asked what the variance is. Ms. McKenna said that now only window signs hanging on chAins are allowed and this is not sufficient for C&C's needs. Member Sallan noted that if a variance is allowed, other tenants would b pore likely to ask for veriatice;,elsa. Mr. Caughey noted that the sign pto$ram may not be meeting the needs of this location and a new sign program may need to be established.

Chairman Bond stated that since they are small signs, he can't see any justification for not approving this applition. Member Sallan noted that this is only one building, but with two saparate entrances. Mr. Caughey stated that the building across the street will have two tenants also, but will have one sign with two panP.ls. Mr. blucher noted that the lot across the street is much smaller and that his loe also has two entrances whereas the one across the street has only one. Member Sallan asked why the signs were not put up 4 years ago when:-,it was.. approved. Mr. Wucher said that signs were just never put up; there, is now, a new tenant.

Ms. McKenna reported that the Traffic Engineer has reviewed the site $lash and has no real concerns with the parking lot layout; however,, the staff; is concerned that a one-way aisle may cause traffic problems. . Members, Ripplinger and Sallan stated they had no problem with the one.-way aisle if _t is acceptable to the Traffic Engineer. Ms. McKenna noted that site plan dimensions do not,always equal the scale, measurements anti gave several examples. She noted that aisles ate only; 14' wide in Same cases; the requirement is 16' wide Mr. Wei said his understanding was that the requirement was 13.5'. He,.-also .noted,.tha the: plan has been revised many times, which would account for the ,dmeasiohus_, being off scale in some cases. a ' kx "yP , - r•f YX'�t MINWI SS OF THE APRIL 20, 1978 'ASAC MBETING RC-216 Page 7 Staff pointed out that no handicapped ramp is included in the site plan. Mr. Wei said that there will be a handicapped ramp, but it has not been drawn in. That correction will be iWade. Staff suggested that some sort of walkway be provided so that customers would not have to walk in traffic to get to the front of the restaurant. Mr. Nei said he could paint a stripe in the driveway, but that people would have to crow the driveway or go behind cars at some point anyway. Mr. Caughey noted that the Planning Commission would like to have sots visual link such as a decorative pavement or a trellis walkway. Mr. Pacheco stated the only navy to tie these buildings together ig arch - tecturally, which the applicant has done. If a trellis is put up, there would be a problem with trucks and campers running into it. Decorative pavement would not be seen from De Anna anyway because there will be mounding. Mr. Caughey noted that the long driveway off De Anza Boulevdi4 creates a sort of .canyon effect. Thia should be broken up somehow. Mr. Pacheco said he would be willing to install a decorative walkway similar to that between City Nall and the Library. This was acceptable to the Committee. Chairman Bond opened- the smetiog to the public. Mr. John Sobrato M,resded+ concern about the view.from° Valley Gram Drive. :He said he would like eta.: ® have the commercial buildivig'•squared up rand-.more landecaping ibstallnd akin Valley Green Drive. The view of the south gall is blank. He read pa'tet of a transcript of the City Council meting where the use permit was approved, which indicated that the, AS" has more latitude their usual in-this Cade. He sugVeted that perhaps, .the last two= units of the, commerical buil-Al g' 'be dropped so that the view from Valley Grsta Drive would ihcl,-de the restate t, and suggested having 10' of landscaping on the crest end instead of 5'. `' Mr. Pacheco anewred that it would be very difficult to widen the buiidfitg. He noted that he has been trying to develop the property for 16 gears and' would like, to develop it. It is part of the gateway= to Cupertino-. He"INa1 the architectural tie between the two buildings with the store fronts aisl the pagoda treatment on the east end will tie it compatibly with the rettarsant. He indicated that the configurations of the buildings have been moved all over the board in trying to come up with the'best' one. He noted that the ' store fronts have no visibility from De Atnaa Boulevard and merchants will have to rely on the restaurant to bring; people to the site. Member Ripplin er suggested moving the commercial building to the rear of the site. Mr. Path?%co said this would cut out all visibility from De Anna Blvd. for the merchants and said he is not willing to move the building to r�!is location. Mr. Wei said that if ,!he south elevation is the problem, he can add the same treatment as on the restaurant to make a more pleasant view. Member Ripplinger indicated he would agree to that. Mr. Sobrato suggested that this be given the same elevation as the store fronts. Mr. Wei said he has not seen any buildings with the same view from the back as from the front. This would cause confusion and restrict privacy for the store owners. 80-216 7HnWES OF THE APFIL 20, 1978 ASAC MEETING Page 8 Mr. Wei again suggested that the south elevation be made like;tbd-n6fti1;.;.; elevation fothe restaurant. Member Riipplinger suggested some vertical columns to break up the 180' of blank wall. Member Sallan opted that the ASAC has more Latitude on this ,appli-ation, than is usual. If there is a concern with the south elevation, ..ke ASAC also has the option of considering other configurations. She.said she w.aul.d be haopy t see same architectural treatment of this=.elovation, but: it its not unreasonable to consider moving the building if it:=4`1 be difficult to cake this elevation architectu-ally pleasing.. ;she°, suggested that 1)..tine south elevation be redoue to whatever °is considered architecturally pleasing, or 2) the building be moved to a diffn [t - configuration. Mr. Wei said that moving the building was discussed at the Planning Commission and at the City Council meeting, and that this configuration was approved. Mr. Caughey indicated,the*- although the ASAC does have some flexibility, this site plan is essentially what was approved. If it is modified severely (i.e., the building configuration Baas changed) there, Y be a parking lot problem and it may have to go back to the Planning - - Commission. Par. Pacheco added that it was his understanding:that the Council basically approved the sits^ layout, that they understand the problems with the site and could live with the buildings where they are. , Mr. Sobrato .said he felt the Council a;m.roved. the conce#r =but" that it is quite clear that it wanted the ASAC to-improve the sttz LT. possible. He suggested. this can be done by fattenia&up the,,wmam"dal-, building. , Mr. Wei asked if the ASeC had just seen these particular pIahw,fort thet.==r first .time without.any Council ;input, .if they would like its.-:'' st & he has done, what the Council reeoow tided-by putting the pagodas aw-•thy ` east elevation and, etc. He does not wish to do the plane, sus ngai� :` Member: Ripplinger said he does not like, the long. buildings-but- it.hna- 'oeen approved '•y the Council. He stated he would 4ave to see the' archtectural improvements to the south elevation before he made -any` further comments. Chairman Bond noted that something has toibe done with the south wall. H suggested fattening the building oa•the east- side; he stated he does not wdah.to design the building for the. applicant, but wants to look at other options besides just as architectural treatment of the sough elevation. Mr. Pacheco noted that the applicant has done much work, and moved the buildings to many different configurations in trying to come up with the best one. It is an unusual piece of property and is a very typical type of architecture in other areas. The applicant is already cons t rained by the parking and site of the site. If the building is widened out, that would not really solve anything. Some- thing can be done architecturally; but the applicant needs to know what the ASAC would like to see. i `' a�;'x '� .��' ,y ix 3 ',.•' ,1 qa ' �a''-;S. •�3`P..;c'" �.�''�� .,, � .sk ` .w.

Chairman Bond noted that in a similar shopping center, e signs on the fascia were too high for viewing up close, while the loot signs were bads far enough as to not be viewed from farther bads: from ere the fascia signs were viewed.

Member Sallan aoted that the sign, would be0.visible from the parking area rather than the street and asked if this business is more difficult to locate than the other businesses.

Mr. Bill Tagg, 619 Torrington Dr., Sunnyvale, California, was prdsent for this application. Mr. Caughey explained that the tennis center is concerned about fly-over of tennis balls into the residential area across Linnet Way. A 4' chain link section will be added to the top of the barrier. The approved landscaping plan, which called for coniferous trees to be installed between the face of the concrete barrier and the curb on Linnet Way, has.been changed to shallow-root evergreen alternative which will adequately obscure the proposed fence addition and not invade the Sanitary District's underground easement In the area. The fence will be coated with black vinyl. Mr. Tagg reported that this is an advantage because $t does not reflect the sun's rays; therefore, it would tend to drop out visually, &:d also not confuse tennis players with a reflection... Chairman Bond opened the public hearing to the audience. Member Rippbinger asked if the neighbors on Linnet Way-had been contacted.

Mr. Bob Granhum. 20700 Valley Green Drive, Cupertino, California, was preselt for this application. Mr. Caughey distributed a revision to the landscaping plan for this application. Re noted that the applicant responded to every concern that staff had regarding landscaping. EIe addded that the staff had been concerned about the east elevations Ofiere the tank farm and roll-up door to the bull4i are located. The applicant has tried to heavy-up the landscaping. along this elevation and ims deleted one parking space for a planter strilp*' Member Ripplinger commented that when the "footprint" of the building !s. viewed, it seems to take up 402-50% of the site. Mr. Granhum eYd that it actually covers about 302 of the site. Member Sallan commented that there does not seem to be a lot of landscaping she explained that she was talking about the: width of the landscaped strip. Mr. Caughey noted the strip is 6' wide with a 1 1/2 ft. overhang on each side for cars. This leaves about 3' for trees and shrubs. Chairman Bond noted that the number of plants -on the strips seems to be dense, Mr. Caughe3 said that the plan is the best one for landscaping and parking cddfi rat Chairman Bond asked that the matter of location of required bicycle racks be left to staff's discretion. ASAC members agreed with'this. The staff report suggested the elimination of three compact parking stalls adjacent to the tank farm in order to .increase landscape screealftofthe east building elevation. The applicant has dropped one parking stall, as noted above. Staff would like to see the other 2 dropped also. Mr. Grauh said that the visual point from Valley Green Drive would cut off- apy 6fi that corner of the building with landscaping as presently proposed. Member Sallan asked if these parking stalls were necessary to meet the,.,; parking requirement, and s3certained that they are not strictly necessary. She stated that the landscaping seems sparse in the area of the tank farm. Member Ripplinger stated he does not agree that the applicant has effectively screened the area by replacing only one stall with landscaping. Mr. Granhum ssked if the parking stalls are eliminated, could the bicycle racks be located in that area. Mr. Caughey replied in the negative, becas bicycle racks must be in an area that can be under surveillance. Architecture Staff is particularly concerned about the building appearance on the east, but feels the heavy landscaping in the area will screen this elevation. Member Sallan noted this elevation has high visibility. Mr. 0ranhnm noted that the height of the tank farm has been lowered from 20' to 16' and wili` ' have a redwood header and chain link with redwood slats. The nature of the material is irrelevant because of the screen of landscaping.

Mr. Steve Coulthard, 330 Town & Country Villiage, p6, Palo Alto, California, was present for this application. Mr. Coulthard said he would like a uniform sign program for the shopping center, so that tenants coming in would know what would be allowed.` All signs would have an ivory background and 'the cabinets will be wood grain. Re presented copy color samples, wh{.ri were earth tones (brown, green, rust). Signs will be internally illuminated. Staff was concerned about the rust color, but since the center is back 250' from the street, a little color wouldn't hurt. Members asked to see the colors with light behind thaw, and a dimonstrator was used for this purpose. Hit , a r _ RC-217 Page 15 Mr. Coulthard tinted the signs will be 2' high and the letters a madLUM of '1 16" high. Member Sallan asked the nurebor, of tenants aad Mr. ,C , , �r replied there would be S. Metier Ssilan.ask if there were ashy prt ems as to national companies wanting to have their own colors for sips. Mr. • Coulthard replied that the center will have consistent sign color, and the most national companies would rstl -keep" their letter style. . C�ulthagdl added that in anothar shopping eeater in which these colors was used, Here' was no problm with sign color for any of the companies. He does not anti- cipate a problem here either. After viewing the color samples with the light behlad there, the Committee members agreed that the colors are acceptable. Mr. G-)ulthard commented that if anyone wanted to have a different ,eolQr they would have to come in to the ASAC for an exception. Mairman BWA said that is regard to that, the Committee feels that the colons will defiairely be limited to these three. Member Sallan added that no egcepti should be allowed, but tenants can exercise their right to come in for an exception. The rest of the members agreed. The hear.tng was opened to the public. Mr. Bon Smithson, one of the owners of the development, said that he had no objections to the colors, which will probably be more than adequate; however, he feels the ASAC should be open minded about any possible exceptions. Chairman Iked replied that if the City takes .a firm Stand, peopled w i . comply with she program, as 'has hapoenediIn other cities. He added that he does not think exceptions will be a problem since the ,color LboicesWare . varied, but r:hat the City should ataod first on this-program. Member RipplInger noted that If this developer wishes to come in with' '` exceptions later, he would limit the colors to ivory and browq,not ;and.,hav* 1. the teWWts in with axceptions later. Mr. Smithson said that, he"`doeo not think the colors would:be a probleti Chairman Bondi saggestedl t�� if colors need to be changed at some time In the future, the whole sites pangs would have to be changed and everyone would have to change their signs. Mr. Smithson said he did not think he would do this. Member Ripplinger said that if the ASAC allows 4 colors now, they should not come back with a 5th and a 6th because a rainbow of colors is not desireable. Mr. Caughey asked what the -Committee's findings are that make this applicati n different from the Orchard Valley Partucrahip application, in which the Committee earlier denied a range of colors for signing. Member Ripplinger noted that the ASAC did not limit the transom signs to any particular color. Member Sallan noted that what looks good is a subject ve decision. If four people can agree on what looks good, that is a good indic - tion that it will. This application represents a direction in signing that is better In taste and in its subdued approach.

Percy replied that it "is W,1i Mr. Caughey explained that what the staff was getting to is that the ASAC should have a chance to examine alternatives to having 15' back yards. Meter Sallan asked what was unacceptable with th*-pzisdnk, plan. Mr. Caughey noted that it isn't unacceptable; however there may be a better way to do it. He noted that the Planning Comtniisa ew=Ss-ilso con- cerned about the aunt of space between the gear of the urita4hd` joining sites. Member Hipplinger noted that it is a question of what is move livable for the tenants. Member Sallan said that an additional 5° in--19ke ryze yards would be acceptable to her. Mr. Percy stated that it would` be almost impossible to increase the rear yards by 5' without losing a snit or soma garage storage space.

Mr. Percy noted the Commission did not give any reason why they wanted the back yards looked at again, just that the ASAC'should leak at it. Whatever the ASAC decides would hold. The plans have ?fie^_ redrawn many tsmes and he feels the present one is the best configuration. Member Sallan noted that the north elevation of the site is against the service station next door and that the best possible configuration for the people living an this side' sh®uld be considered. Mr. Percy replied that there is 10" of planting area on the other side of the wall where the gas. station is in addition to the rear yards. There would be 25' between the station and the residences, and S° additional would nos make that much difference. Member Sallan asked if a 20' setback had ever been drawn for this rear yard area.

A second site concern was brought up by :-rr. Per':y, regarding the itstsliari cs of a masonry wall.

Mr. Caughey noted that the site plan and the landscaping -Ian should be coordinated as to which trees are being saved so there less confusion. Member Sallan.pointed out that in one area the applicant �:-.,nws ,.ganq Cherry trees, which are deciduous. This would mean that Lao huildit�a, would not be screened in the winter.

Mr. Percy said he will mdund the center area but does not feel there is enough room for mounding along the street. Member Sallan agreed. Chairman Ripplinger noted that mounding in the front area may also disturb existing redwoods. Staff suggested that the applicant be required to install minimal landscaping in the rear yards. Mr Caughey noted that the Committee has required in the past that trues and/or plantings be installed in rear yards so that something is started. Mr. Percy said he would be opposed to this because owners should have .the flexibilt:.cy to do whatever they want to do with the rear yard area, Mr. Caughey said he did not have anything specific in mind, but that the addition of some plantings may make it more pleasant for tenants when they move in and would cake the units .A more complete.

Mr. Joe Am stoy, Mr. Kinnard La zero, Mr. John Pollis, and Mr. Dunckley Murray were present for this application. Mr. Aaestoy explained that the building design is an adaptation df a Coast federal prototype. The roof is metal and the walls precast concrete with aggregate exposed. The look will be simple. ' Be presented a sample board of building materials and colors, noting that the roar color will be more of a rust color instead of the brown shotu. One change to the plan is that a court will be added on one eleVaitloa which will be walled and planted to preclude a view of the service station next door. The wall would be 5'-6' high.

This would require that different building materials be used and destroy then design of the building.. Abe tree r would have to be eliminated with the alternate plan wM d be replaced with 2 mature trees. The termed areas along the side of the building would also be lost; they are integral to the design also. Mr. Caughey noted that this is the first time the staff has seen the alternate plan and that the Traffic Engineer should look at it. Member Sallan said she would like to save the tree if possible. Member Johnson agreed. Chairman Ripplinger said he is in favor of the alternate plan and would be willing to trade the existing spruce tree for 2 25' trees. Mr. Murray noted that the tree may be lost through high winds because it is old and unprotected by other trees. Member Sallan replied that the existing trees have a value and if the applicant could work around this tree, it would be better.

Grading Staff noted that the applicant has insufficient data to evaluate the building height in relation to the street and also the drainage pattern. Member Irvine asked what the overall height of the building will be. Mr. Amestoy replied that it is 25' to the top of the skylight, and mechanical equipment is hidden. Members had no concerns about grading. Lighting Guidelines for the area call for Wayermauser woodscape pole with globe. The applicant would rather have a bronze globe.

WW d<, (nn A UM MS OF THE MAY 18, 1978 ASAC MSEUSG RC-218 page 11 signing mr. John Follis prepented the alga proposal for the appi$cation*-.�h"lt.noted that the whole idea is that all branches look alike. He drew.;tbar=#Ab ' attention to the deboa®ed letters on the fascia first.. The.let.tex:xvUl° i be stained slightly darker than the building material so: Oat It, ;,but is subtle. The debossiingd will consist-of the word "COAST". It: -.-be; externally illuminated. The ground sign would be the wain identifications for the bus nawi :3he, pedestal will be of the same concrete;material as the columns on:.' buildi and of a slightly darner color. The proposed sign will -be a can *beblAck backgrdund, a green border, and yellow and orange letters in a staluless steel housing. The housing will have soma detailing. The overal�:� ght of the sign was reduced to 8' and the sign panel would be 8' wide :and 6 '1/'2' high so there will be 50 sq. ft.. of sign. The members agreed that they had no problems with the fascia sign; fever, Meuber Irvite pointed out that a grass sign is not permitted in tWa case because there is not enough frontage. Mr. Follis said he felt it w• Ld be better aesthetically if the sign is a separate structure; it would not be appropriate to put the. sign on the building. The Co ittee tools a short break at 10.:3$ p.m. and,, setonvened,at 10:45 p.m. Mr. Follis polaterd out.that B of A has a sopasate... a:,OgTucUW4WO.x 4W�AO several other buialdingO in the..area. a�daled-.,thgt the wj4th,of t boulevard should also be considered. A slgs abould lea perpeasdia*.s :,0��- the boulevard in order to be seen. It would detract from the desk of the building and the visibility of the business L94be siga eras:WURW4.63 the building. Mr. Caughey stated that the requirements for a. graubd 8i86 are a 200' linear frontage or 100' of frontage and a 75' building setback. The applicant's frontage is 138' and the building is not 75' back from the street. Msmber'Irvine explained that if a ground sign is considered in this Vase, the applicant would have to prove that it would constitute a hardshIp to comply with the ordinance. Chairman Ripplinger added that the applicant has the right to ask for an exception, but that the proof of hardship rests with the applicant rather than with the ASAC. Mr. Follis said he had misunderstood this requirement of thw sighs ordinanc to mean the size of the sigh. He stated that in c •der to functions properly, the sign should be separate from the building and perpendicular to it. It would also be more aesthetically pleasing if the sign were not aftized to the building. The whole concept of the building would have to be-re- designed. The whole concept on the building itself is to have " " deboased on the fascia. This would have to be replanned, a f inancIaL, harish p. Members agreed that the. debossing would Ue a signing; approach rather than an architectural feature. Chairman Ripplinger stated he did not, tbftk this issue could be solved at this particular time and that the applicant should come up with a plan that ma.its the ordinance or reasons that an ezaeption should be granted in this case. This portion should be continued. k _ MC-218 MIg13'TES OF THE MAY 18, 1978 ASAC M9ETTkG Page:12 The Committee addressed the proposed color of the ground sip.,at 4148 time.

Member Irvine said he felt tl1e. natural stain on might look better on the parapet, but then then the lette would not show. The parapet stands up high and the green would make it look even higher. Mr. Faraco said that in vied of the relationship of the. new building to go next door, the papapet would give it more visibility, Member Irvine said he is concerned about what the parapet will look like. Mr. Clark added that if there was no color, the building would look washed out. Member Irvine said he would like to see detail of how the parapet, the will look before granting approval. Member Johnson said he is sure other members would be interested in seeing the details and this is enough reason to bring the application back a second time. Mr. Clark said the applicant is anxious to get the project under construction. The establish- ment is now closed.

Be noted that the lost spruce tree.will be replete+ shy?,.:._ 2 new spruce trees. Plemher Sallan asked what,the Justification for re-OPAUR the tree would be. Mr. Caughey referred to, the staff report which stemsF, that benefits to the public with the proposed site layout,would Include.:, , 1) fratrked cars wive.d be comptetely obscured ftoi"the'sireat, .2) tke Car system for traffic is more ordir y and efficient,n 3) increaaud front. ditgg setback from 25' to 351, and 4) replacement of the iie b red+'spea spruce tree with two 24" boas specimens.

Mr. Dauckley Murray answered Meu*,ar lrviue's,question regarding efts" of" replacement trees, saying a 24" specimen would be hard to find, but that they would probably be around 20' high. Ile said they transplant very well and that he would like to find a couple of trees that have been in the boas for 6 months and are growing iar the box. , Member Sally; asked what:,the alter"Itive would be if the two spruces could not be found. Mr. A.mstoy noted-that:-the applicant has committed to the spruce trees and intends to install them. tor. Murray added that if they absolutely can'.t be found, the applicant would have to come back to the Committee with a replacement tree. Chairman Ripplinger noted that the bench which was depicted on the previous plan is not on this plan. Mr. Amestoy explained that there seemed to be some controversy about gutting in a bench so close to an eyi.sting bus stop, so it was not included this time. Member Sallan said it may be confusing, to have two benches so close and some landscaping would have to be eliminated in orde to include the bench; she agreed the beach should not be included. Staff report noted that a correction is required to comply with minimum "back up" aisle and "end-aisle" width. Mr. Amestoy said 2 parking stalls have been eliminated to comply with the requirement. t IDS of THE im 9, 1978 ASAC 4MTIMG W-219 Chairman Ripplinger asked the purpose, of ,the, far W apace. ..,t st 9q ire that ir is deal' ed-as a load ,nir aid traoi etir osuxe xars .

Mr. Caug �0; poted that the sign ordinance doesns't require or prohibit directional igns. The applicant asked if the fact that B of A has directional rig+ :"T. has any bearing.

Regarding freestanding signs, Mr. Caughey noted that the site, does not have the minimum street frontage v qualify for one sign and lafiaitely of two.

Member Sallan suggested extending the walkway from the main entrance to the Peppermill across the drive. Mr. Sobrato said he would do this. Mr. Caughey commented that the Planning Commission had suggested as a possibility that-a walkway be installed in the middle of the planting strips in the parking lot. This was not acceptable because it would mean losing some landscaping. Member Sallan commented that the approach to encouraging people to use walkways instead of cutting through the lot is to provide walkways. One should not simply assume people won'` use them. Mr. Sobrato noted that the City also wanted to get more landscaping xn, and he etas deleted parking spaces to accommodate more landscaping.

Omi-rman Bond noted that he has asked for a restatement of the ASAC°s charter to reaffirm its purpose. Be praised the staff and City Council for doing a good job in Cupertino, which is not in as much financial difficulty as a result of Proposition 13 as are other cities. Be cemment d that the informal review process has been an important tool in Setting some concerns across to applicants before a lot of money is spent on the projects. Member Sallan suggested that perhaps the ASAC could form some criteria which staff could communicate to applicants. This way, perennial ASAC concerns would be considered before the applicant came before ASAC with a proposal. Chairman Bond noted a solution might be to have ASAC m bers get together in study sessions to review applications informally This would give staff some direction for the applicant to follow. Member Sall.an noted that the reason informal reviews were initiated is that the Committee had been getting unacceptable site applications.. She, aid now that Staff knows what the ASAC is looking for, there are few signific t coLments anymore. Mr. Caughey said he feels it is a good idea to bring informal reviews to the ASAC if there is a serious staff concern, but if there is not, applications will not come: to .the ASAC informally.

Mr. Caughey recapped the discussion of this applicstioa.:at the last meeting. A detatied model of the proposed building and site was presented by Mr. Sobrato and'Mr. Donald L. Koehler.

Member Sallan expressed concern about "holes" in the landscaping which would allow motorists to see the panting area. Mr. Caughey painted out that there will also be shrubs in the laudacaping which were impractical to show in the model because of the scale. Mat. Bdrato added that there will also be mounding behIW the sidewalk. whiff doea not show up on the model very well. He noted that this is vie*nd as an improvement by the assessment district. There was also some concern about the positioning of 24" box specimens along the residential side of the development to reduce glare and assure the privacy of residents. Condition 26 of Planning Coammi.ssioa Pasoluticn 1837 requires these 24" box specimen evergreen along the south property line as screening protection to privacy of adjoining homes. Mr. Caughey said it is not clear as to the intent of this oonditice, whether the trees could be placed in strategic spots or have to be solid. He said staff will check this out and approve it on the building ,permit level.

Mr..-Caughey noted that,in IL-gbt Industrial zoned areas; amanerally only one ground sign.is:allowed ' Be also noted,that- this is a Planned Development so staff is comfortable with allowing the proposed signing because> of the, size ofc the,sigmo and distance-in relatidd".to the building.

When the 1%oco's°' center was approved in 1974, Council imposed a condition requiring reciprocal ingress/egress easements with the subject property upon its development. Both the subject property owner and the De Anza Square management object to implementing the easeateut, although staff contends that it is a necessary alternative for omit- treffis leaving, the complex south- bound on De Anza Boulevard- due to restricted turning mavb6dntn on that street. The Commltte:: examined an alternative site plan which attempted to maintain the same building intensity and space-use cVicept': and which- allowed for the disputed easement. owners- req-aested a decision, how ne , on- the ao-easement alternative. A resident near the proposed project objected to the potential easement running continuously from Bollinger= load to De AAza Square, as,a disc'and congestion levels near the residential neighborhood may increase - The Comm .ttee deliberated upon these inputs and concluded that the easement requirement represented an undue burden upon a single property ownet'ind should not be implemented. The only other substan-tive concern was to add visual relief to the windowless wall facing the adjacent residential 'tteighbor- hood. Large trees will be placed between the building wall and property line. Member Irvine moved to approve Application RC-51,466.1 subject to conditions and findings contained in Resolution No. 83S.

The :coneisaued the item to this date to order that the appliicant ceiad'iit d `*0b#1ble signing alternatives. The applicant now discussed his various alternatives with the Coomittee. He still maintained that because this design nature of the south'elevation facade was not conducive to a wall-=wunted sign, an exception favoring a ground sign was necessary. Placement of the sign on the roof was unanimously determined to be unsuitable; likewise It was agreed that' s ctreet address on the building's south elevation facade would allow for insufficient visibility due to the recessed nature of subject wall. Chairman Bond suggested the concept of a minimal ground s SA portraying a street address only, in addition to a small identificotJoa pla rated fedti west elevation (Exhibit F-2).

This meeting was called to discuss the latebt4 aUd foan►at of tFie" i lio village readerboard sign. Mr. Ward opened the discussion by stating that an the advice of his attorney he refused to listen to the Larch 10, 1977 ASAC tape pertinent to the reader- board sign. It wa;s,h" opttjiou that the only relevant documents under review are the ASAC Resolution No. 701 (Condition 5) and the staff report for the March 21, 1917 City Council meeting. Regarding usage of the readerboard as a public service medium, For. Ilard felt that the existing operation was in compliance with the above-referenced documents. Two-thirds of the statements are of a public service nature, while the remaining time is utilized by Vallco Village merchant advertising. Member Irvine agreed that from reading the ASAC Resolution and City Council staff report it was evident that the intent did speak to advertising. He stated that he did not attend the March 10. 1977 ASAC meeting. Member Sallan questioned the perceived original intent of the :readerboard.

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. -1- A Minutes of Match 0. 2979,,A.,S.A.C. Meating.

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.

Application HC-51,446.2 - Cornish Carey (Retail Commercial Properties) requesting approval of exception to Section 6.03.3 of Ordinance 746 to permit a ground sign for an office building on a site which does not meet the "200-Rule" criteria specified in said ordinance section. Property is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, east of Blaney Avenue. 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. -1- I ®, A.SsA.4• rICBtJ.Lig (cou Moved by,:Xmber Ripplinger, with a second by>Member,S�&llan,. to deny Application 1:C-51,446.2.

Property is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, west of Blaney Avenue. 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.

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. w .:F .Minutes ,� of April 19, Y19T4 A* A.C. feting.(a odtluto ) M r A decision was made to return the final, complete set of landscape plm. for ASAC resew and faunal motion, prior to forwarding subject landscape plans to the City Council.

Property is located on the south side of Stevens Creels Boulevard, west of Blaney Avenue. 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 said ordinance section, subject to findings and conditions contained in Resolution No. 876.

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.

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.

Presentation: Scott Erwin, Vallco Park; Lun Chan and Richard Altuna, Lun Chan Associates Tile Roof Color Member Ripplinger remarked that the croposed blue is not at variance with Vallco's color scheme. Member Sallan preferred an alternate choice, as the blue color would tend to distract from the clean lines of Vallco Fashion -1- - 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 were none forthcoming.

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. -1- r�. #� 1t 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.

Presentation: John Volckmann, Stevens Creek Office Center John Barksdale, Stevens Creek Office Center Ken Arutunian, Landscape Architect The Committee reviewed a Minute Order from the Planning Commission requesting ASAC review of the proposed parking lot layout. After considerable discus- sion, the Committee determined that the location and ratio of compact stalls was permissible.

Dillon, Landscape Architect John Lien, Architect Jim Mills, Acoustical Consultant 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.

Application HC-51,075.48 - Benihana of Tokyo (Vallco Park) requesting approval of exterior tile roof element and signing for a restaurant to be located in Vallco Fashion Park, on the easterly side of Wolfe Road. Presentation: Walter Ward, Vallco Park Scott Erwin, Vallco Park Lum Chan, Lum Chan Associates Richard Altuna, Lum Chan Associates James Finnerty, Benihana 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. _" -1- sy� sc ",z ✓ .F '.' 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 Resolution No. 909 of Application HC-51,075.48.

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 forthcoming.

Staff expressed a desire to further work with the applicant to refine gateway details; Mr. Mills expressed a willingness to do so. Regarding the fence .along the westerly property line, committtee members agreed that the applicant should be required to implement necessary repairs whether or not financial assistance was obtained from adjacent property owners. It was further determined that consent from said owners should be'obfained prior to beginning any work on their properties. The Committee disregarded Mr.Mill's argument that the fence and retaining wall were actually on single-family property.

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.

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.

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, ..1- X $ *la .�Antutee df YVdcO&gf , ' <, a �� _� Signing was continued to peadt the V to addaess >s; f and Committee cooce Thii C tt a sie 'aa p sat ees 6r ikf libdti"bstfti d on the "a.m.- p.m." sign.

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. N. t / Minutes of December 20, 1979 A.S.A.C. Ieetitgg 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. 4.

Presentation: Michael Robbins, Ad-Art Sign Company Chairman Bond wished to understand why the application believed a sign exception was justified. The response was that the public.would be made aware of Great Western's Saturday business hours. Also, not all 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. The Committee wished to see a greater screening of the parking lot as viewed from Stevens Creek Boulevard. Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience. Mrs. Ann Anger spoke in favor of this development proposal. She was pleased with the design of of this site and structure.

Application HC-51,342.11 - Geno Castello (Brentwood Market) requesting approval of architecture and landscaping modifications for an existing shopping center situated at the southwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and East Estates Drive. Said property is located in a CG (General Commercial) zoning district. -3- Or- .. P Oft 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. -4- - t f Moved by Member Ripplinger, with a second by Member Mortison to recommend denial of Application RC-51,342.11 based upon findings as contained In Resloution No. 925.

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.

(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. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 6.

The Architectural and Site Approval Committee has Watmally reviewed the proposed Park Plaza development plans. Various site and building design issues were raised at that time.

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.

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.

Staff expressed opposition to the proposed posts. It was noted that the 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. Staff noted the high rate of theft from the Key Chevrolet site, and emphasized that the Sheriff's Department urged some form of a security barrier. It was also stated that the Sheriff's Department was interested in providiug a comprehensive security education program for Key Chevrolet employees. Mr. and Mrs. Weiss stated that they were extremely concerned with the theft problems and that they were cooperating with the Sheriff's Department.

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 - 1 - 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.

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. NEW BUSINESS 4. Staff was requested to find out the nature of recent activities on 85 right-of-way, near De Anza College. 5.

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. - 2 - W W k fh Ay FyFe. 4 {may`., t f e NEW APPLICATIONS: 5.

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. 1 - _ * � d? Wx , y a �7ee t 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: 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.

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.

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. 3 r' y .ref L i yy rq11 Minutes £of lan ety- '�.C9 "8 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. NEW BUSINESS: 2. Application HC-51,564.0 - H & R Block - Sign program and exception for 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.

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. k k V The ASAC dould like to see the landscape plans again-prior` tp building petmit approval.

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. NEW BUSINESS: 2. Application HC-51,015.9 - Service Merchandise Catalog Show Room (Formerly Kessler Merchandising) - Informal review of modification to existing sign program. The subject property is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 275 ft. west. of De Anza Boulevard. Presentation: Tom Donoghue, Advertising Products, Inc.

The length of the letters is not to exceed the four bays. 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.

The Committee continued this item with three members recommending the following: - The kiosk should be architecturally consistent with Dalton's Bookstore, particularly with respect to the tiling treatment. - Include more landscaping (including street trees on Stevens Creek Boulevard).

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.

Application HC-51,032.21 - P. J. Mulligan's - brehitecturel approval to add an awning to the front of an existing building. The subject property is located 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. The Committee also requested that the fence along the east property line be replaced. Although the ASAC liked the iaea of an awning, they did not like the particular awning proposed. The item was continued so that P. J. Mulligan's can explore alternative awnings/improvements. INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: 4.

(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.

(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.

At the end of a yeah the amended section would be re-evaluated. Major elements of the proposed amendments include: - Maximum of two on-site real estate signs permitted per parcel for sale. - 114arimum of four off-site signs permitted per intersection.

ROLL CALL: Present: Miller, Morrison, Nobel and Chairman hooker 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.

(cstnt } iC-313 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. NEW BUSINESS: 4. Application HC-51,410.6 - Apple Computer, Inc.

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.

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). - 1 - • 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. INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATION: 2.

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.

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: 2.

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.

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. NEW ITIM—* 6.

Application 19-U-82 - John Vidovich - Use permit to construct a 62,000 sq. ft., three-story office building. The subject property is located on the west side of De Anna Boulevard. approximately 250 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive and 450 ft. south of Mariani Avenue. Presentation: John Vidovich, Denis Renmi, and Sylvia Roman The applicant had increased the height of the top course of bricks and widened the columns (18" to 24") in response to the Committee's previous concerns. The windows are proposed to have: solar gray glass (not reflective) and shall be recessed 20 inches. The Committee felt the building was basically acceptable, however, many of their previous concerns remained: - The building lacks a focal entry point. The single truncated corner exacerbates this problem; it cre.:aes a focus on the second and third floors which is not reflected on the first floor. - Motorists will easily miss the driveway off De Anza Boulevard. - Architectural variety along De Anza Boulevard is lacking. The subject building continues this trend. it is highly similar to most of the other buildings recently proposed/constructed. - The three parking spaces by the driveway off De Anza Boulevard should be replaced with landscaping. - The distance of the sidewalk from the curb should be consistent with that of the existing meandering sidewalks along De Anza Boulevard. 2.

The subject property is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, approximately 200 ft. west of Saich Way. Presentation: Jim Favors and Ken Stmoncini representing Pablo's Restaurant. The Committee made the following comments: 0 - A deeper arch in the awning and heavier posts would be more attractive. - The clearance from the side%..lk to the bottom of the canopy must meet building code requirements. Recommendation: The Committee recommended approval per ASAC Resolution No. 1041 (5-0). 5. Application EC-51,180.12 - De Anna Professional Center (Frangadakis) - Sign Program for an existing office center.

Presentation: Ed Myers representing De Anza Professional Center. The Committee indicated the existing sign is more substantial than the proposed sign. Concern focused on the proposed materials, both in terms of appearance and durability. The top of the Glu-Lam beam should be capped.

Application 1-U-83 - Stevens Greek Office Center Association (John Voickmann) Use permit to construct three office buildings totaling approximately 52,000 seq. ft. within the existing Stevens Creek Office Center. Each building consists of two stories over underground parking. The Stevens Creek Office Center consists of 6.4 acres and is located between Stevens,Creek Boulevard and elves Drive, approximately 300 ft. west if Saich tray. Presentation: John Barksdale and John Volckmann representing Stevens Creek Office Center. The Committee recommended approval, noting that the buildings would be an asset to the complex, however, they requested that the following concerns be addressed: - The two long straight driveways running north/south could create a race- way effect, thus encouraging fast traffic. The Committee suggested ex- tending the east/west walkways across the driveways to help counter this effect. The walkways should be at a slightly higher grade than the road and would, 1v effect, be speed bumps. - Putting arbors over the walkway entries would help break up the driveways visually. - Locating a driveway on the curve at Alves Drive could be dangerous. - People will need to walk in the driveway between their cars and the entries to the east/west walkways. This could be dangerous. North/ south walkways running along the driveways could prevent accidents. Several members were concerned about traffic on Alves Drive. One member felt too many buildings were being crowded into,too small a space. INFORMAL REVIEW: 7. Discussion regarding the kiosk prova.-ted in the Crossroads Center was continued at the applicant's re-juest. 8. Discussion regarding the reroofing of a building on the southwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Imperial Avenue in Monte Vista was continued. The Committee directed staff to find out whether the roof met the Building Code, particularly with regards to slo-e. 9.

Discussion focused on the two 7.5 sq. ft. signs proposed on the north and south sides of the building. Although the Committee felt the signs were unnecessary they concurred that the south sign was acceptable, noting that it would help identify the window. This sign may read "Drive-up Window" or "1-11our Photo Drive-up". The Committee also noted the substantial site improvements the applicant is installing. The Committee approved (3-1) the sign program per ASAC resolution No. 1043. (Member Morrison arrived at 7:30 p.m.) INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: 3. Application 12-U-82 - William Kelley - Use Permit to construct a four-story commercial/office L:.,ilding. The subject property is located on the west side of North De Anza Boulevard, approximately 250 ft. north of Stevens Creek Boulevard. Presentation: Robert Bernstein and William Kelley representing William Kelley. l .. IMF a _y ? Minutes of January 24, 1983 A.S.A.C. (coattaued) AMC-929 Member Higdon did not participate in this discussion; he is an eir for the proposal. The Committee expressed very strong support for the original six-story building. Their reasons were as follows: - The negative space in the original building was very exciting. - The six-story height was a nice counterpoint to the corner building. - The original concept placed the building in the middle of the parking lot. This helped break up the asphalt and prevent a "strip" appearance to the block. - The six-rcory building was "elegant". - No residential areas would be adversely affected. Several developers in the audience pointed out that additional height meant more open space. The Committee did not -wish to comment on the four-story proposal beyond indicating that it should be moved back from De Anza Boulevard in order to break up the parking lot. One member pointed out that a model of De Anza Boulevard would be very useful. The Committee moved to send a Minute Order to the Planning Commission and City Council recommending that the six-story proposal be reconsidered. The Minute Order was approved (3-0) per ASAC Resolution No. 1044. (Member Miller arrived at approximately 5:15 p.m.) 4. Preliminary Application - Itsuo Uenaka (Carl Swenson) - Informal architectural and site review of a four-story 74,400 sq.. ft. office building. The subject property is located on the west side of North De Anza Boulevard, approximately 200 ft. south of Mariani Avenue. Presenta ..ion: Brad Krouskup and Bill Corsick representing Carl Swenson. Humber Higgon abstained from this discussion; his firm does a lot of work with Carl Swenson. The Committee made the following comments: - Site Plan: The forms are very innovative. - Elevation: Too many details weaken the strong horizontal lines. Shading on the first level is good, but the columns should be less prominent. - Grading: Keep the building and parking low. Don't set on a high pad! - Landscaping: Don't allow landscaping to become a barrier between Any �. -77 Minutes of January 24, tM A.S.A..C. CciaiaiQd) f.` ,�, Fountain and the subject building. Driveway: At its current location the driveway visually separates the subject building from the Vidovich building. Could the driveway he maned closer to the north property line? The landscaping would then help tie the two buildings together. 5. Application 19-U-82 - John Vidovich - Review of modifications. Use permit to construct a 62,000 sq. €t. , three-story office building. The subject property is located on the west side of De Anza Boulevard aprroximately 250 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive and 450 ft. Pauth of Mariani Avenue. Preseni:ation: John Vidovich, Denis Henmi., and Sylvia Rwan representing John Vidovich. The Committee made the following comments: - The subject building, Swenson Building, and Any Mountain compliment each other well. The materials should work well together and the landscaping should help tie the subject building and Swenson Building together. The Architectural and Site Approval Committee was pleased with the buildings as a group. - The orientation of the subject building creates the feeling that it is ignoring or turning its back on the Swenson Building. Could the building be swiveled slightly so that the "negative space" is facing the Swenson Building more, thereby uniting the buildings? This would also help highlight the entry by making it visible to drivers as they approach the building from the north on De Anza Boulevard. - Could a plaza be rlacad between the two buildings? - The glazing on the buildings should be compatible. Similar glazing in their negative space would tie the buildings together further. - Landscaping is needed at the end of the entry driveway to screen the rear of the building west of the project site on Bandley. The Committee continued this item to the next meeting. INFORMAL REVIEW: 6. T formal review of proposed major modifications to a previously approved walk-up kiosk in the Crossroads Center. (Application HC-51,015.818). CONTINURD TO THE NEXT MEETING: 7. Informal architectural review of the reroofing of an existing building located on the southwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and 'mperial Avenue in Monta Vista. Chairperson Nobel did not participate in this discussion. Both Ann Anger and Barbara Trubell, residents in Monta Vista, spoke in favor cf requiring a formal application. They pointed out that the many improvements - 3 - 3.„ qg ;" N,T„-' M n iinutes of January 2$ 1 ES3 Ay needed on the site will never be chase unless the City requireseft» .

With regards to Item 2, this means that it was ,opproved (3-0) per staff's recommendation. (?Members Miller and Higdon arrived at 7:15 p.m.) CONTINUED ITEM: I. Application 19-U-82 - John Vidovich - Use Permit to construct a three-story office building consisting of 62,000 sq. ft. The subject property is located on the West side of De Anza Boulevard approximately 250 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive and 450 ft. south of Mariani Avenue. Presentation: John Vidovich, Denis Henmi (architect), and Sylvia Kwan (architect). The Committee commented as follows: - orientation - Three members felt the proposed orientation was finer citing the plaza as a logical entry feature. One member pointed out that the Swenson Building and the subject building were not designed to function together or cater to automobile traffic on De Anza Boulevard. These two arguments had been posed in favor of reversing orientation. They also noted that the 50 ft. landscape buffer would create an open feeling for drivers on the street, thereby minimizing; any need to orient the plaza to drivers. Two members preferred a reversed orientation, but felt the building had so many other aspects that this was not a major concern. - Relation to Swenson Building - The applicant should coordinate with Mr. Swensons' architect to ensure that the floors of the two buildings intersect at the same levels, rather than staggered ones. Should one building have a higher floor level than the other, the building with the lower floor could appear cheaper. - Landscaping - The Committee wishes to see the landscape plans again informally. INFORMAL REVIE4 OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS. 4. Application 6-U-83 - AEC Electric, Inc. - Use Permit to construct a two-story - I - r s office building consisting of 3,200 sq. c. 'The subject praparrty 16 located on the northeast earner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Foa� h'.lil. Boulevard (former Buck property). Presentation: K. Elvin represent represeating AEC Electric, Inc. Majority opinion (four members): There are numerous concerns with, the proposal. If Oe applicant were starting from scratch (i.e., not using a substantial portion of the existing building) the Proposal would be unacceptable. The committee members did not see any advantages to retention of the existing structure, particularly siisc+e the structure is constraining the site, however, members left the applir-mt with the option of retaining the building. The Committee had the folloeing specific comments: - Landscaping: Replace southernmost parking space with landscaping. This will help open up the corner, which is a key entry into the City. Widen the landscaping along Foothill Boulevard by 18". Allow 18" overhang of cars into landscaping. This will allow berming; to go higher. - Materials - Too many materials for such a small building. Either replace stucco with brick or use a single material. - Driveway - 18 €t. is too narrow when there are walls on both sides. - Entry - There should be an entry on the worth side of the building so that pedestrians would not need to walk in driveway. - Buildings location - Could relocate building to north end of site? This would help open tip corner, make site more flexible, and place entry near parking. Intensity - The site would be over-developed with the proposed building. The building square footage should balance with the number of parking spaces. Minority Opinion (one member): The building is too small to deserve much concern. The basic building is fine. It's only the details which could use some modifications. The 18' driveway is adequate. The Committee continued the application to the next meeting. They asked the applicant to report to them at that time on the feasibility of retaining the existing structure. INFORMAL REVIEW: 6. Ptonta Vista Design Guidelines - Information only. 7. Foothill Professional Center (Application HC-°51,443.2) - The A.S.A.C. approved (5-0) the addition of an exterior window at the truncated corner of this building. 2 4 W a R ss" iA f ,inches of February 14. 1083 A.S.A.C.

The subject- property is located on the northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard (former Buck property) Presentation: Kevin Elvin representing AEC Electric, Inc. The A.S.A.C. commented- as-follows., Materials - The proposed materials are too contemporary (1.e. too eleanp ®p) - The proposed building emphasises vertical building: lines.. The, horizontal lines should be accentuated instead, thereby reducing the building's perceived impact. Modifying the vertical stdiug to wood shingle would accomplish this goal. - Parking - Do not require a substantial planter around the parking stall in the northeast corner of the site. This stall is in an awkward location and should not be emphasized. - Site - Verify that the building will fit on the site as shown. The wall footings or masonry wall could move everything westward if not included in measurements. - Relocate second floor bathroom so that all offices have access without walking through the sunroom. ® - The sunroom will have drainage problems unless covered.

AUDIENCE: Barbara Trubell, Wes Williams, Ana Anger, Paul Quinterno,' Dave McLeroy, Bob Bell., Bob Refredi, Lorraine RefredEi, Bolen Lu, Carol McDowell, Terry Brawn, Dick Childress and G. G. Be Carli. Comments: General Time Frame of Review - Review process is too fast. Not enough time for citizens/merchants to evaluate impacts and have input, (Mr. McLeroy) - Staff pointed out these are gui lines . Compared to an Ordinance, they will be relatively easy to ,.codify after adoption. Restrictiveness Clearly define how flexible these guidelines are. Is the intent to strongly suggest or to mandate? Detail - Far too much detail. - Delete Items 3B and 3C of Consultant's Report. Too detailed. Change Item 3B to encourage strong detailing around windows and emphasis on the breaks between windows. - 1 - Objectives Historic Image - Tao general as an objective. Define. - Intent is to create ra unique identity. This will require that atmosphere, building scale and proportions be addressed. - The Victorian style Is not the only "historic" style. De-Emphasise it. (Mrs. Anger) - Recatagorize those items under "Area Theme" to "Objectives". Restoration Intent is not to unilaterally encourage rehabilitation. Quality is goal. Sometimes this may include rehabilitation, sometimes not. Architecture General Concept - Apply outlined docuet to entire Monts, Vista Commercial Area (Highway 85 to Blue Pheasant Restaurant). - Apply consultant's de led report to a more limited area (railroad tracks to Orange Aver and north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard to Granada Avenue). Facades - Regarding Item 3F of Consultant's Report, do not allow rear facade to be cheapened! Signage Detail - Too detailed! ! Just list basic policies, such as no plexiglass, no internal illumination, etc. - Delete Items B4 and B10 and C4 of Consultant's Report. Size - Businesses will not be able to compete if not allowed the same size signs as rest of. City (Mr. McLeroy, Mr. Bell and Ms. Lu) . - Majority opinion = allots, size per existing ordinance, however stress the relationship between sign size and the building. Quality/character of signs is more important than size. - Minority opinion - restrict sign size. This is intent, so why not say it? Allow variance when sign will enhance area. Several residents/developers agreed. - � a �yqpr�6yyk 1SF.i s ® Msrch Illumination - No internal illumination - Reword BS of Consultant's Report, it`is unclear.. - Exposed neon tubes might be allowed in a few instances, - Problem what if too many businesses want neon? Mrs. Trubell feels neon is ugly. Miscellaneous - No plexiglass (or minimal). - Materials and design is important. - Allow varip-nce when sign is unique or enhances area. - Provide entry sign to Monta Vista? - With parking in rear, shopkeepers will need two signs (one to rear, one in frout),.(Mr. Childress). - Allou signs ou second floor.(Mr. Childress). - Discussed allowing ground signs only for center i4catification or for a single-tenant building/site. There was no consensus. Other Public Acca3ss - Closing k,asadena Avenue would create a maze. No access to residential areas or rear businesses. How about emergency vehicular access? Pasadena Avenue is widest street.(several members of audience). Stevens Creek Boulevard Median Strip - Do not allow vertical elements. Will divide area in two. Density - Consider allowing a higher density than in the rest of the City. - A higher density will encourage investment. - Allow/encourage zero lot line¢.

CONTINUED ITEM: I. Monta Vista Design Guidelines - Review of design guidelines for the Monta Vista Commercial Area. These guidelines shall a4dress architectural standards, building materials, landscape standards, dtreetscape details, and sign standards. The subject area is generally located north and south of Stevens Creek Boulevard from Highway 85 to Byrne Avenue, and from Stevens Creek Boulevard to Granada Avenue between Orange Avenue and the railroad tracks adjacent to Imperial Avenue. Audience: Ann Anger,._resident Comments: Landscaping - A consistent landscape concept will be vital to establishing an identity for Monta Vista, particularly given the area's small size and haphazard building style. - There should either be a dominant street tree type or a single species. - Street trees should be of an "open" variety. They should not hide the buildings, but rather show them off. - Plant street trees now. This would help unify the area during the interim period prior to extensive redevelopment. - Raised/containerized planters may be more consistent with Monta Vista's character than at-grade landscaping. Street Furniture/Lighting - Standard street lights should not be used. Lights should be of a lower profile (height) than the rest of City. - Benches and trash containers should be constructed of wood. 1 - 1 - T gt - Minutes of March 14, 1983 A.S.A.C. (Continued) ASAC-322 ^ Signale - Signs on the rear of buildings should be reviewed per approximately the .same standards as an the front. Rear signs should perhaps be smaller though. (Member Morrison left at approximately 8:45 p.m. due to a pain ia'h4s leg) INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATION: 2. Application 9-U-83 - Interland Development Company (Seven Springs Ranch)- Use permit to construct 413 dwelling units consisting of single-family detached houses, semi-detached townhouses, and attached townhouses. The subject property is generally bound by Rainbow Drive to the north, Stelling Road to the east, Prospect Road to the south, and the Fremont Older Preserve/Upland Way to the west. Presentation: Norman Meltzer, Jim Jackson, Claude Stoller and Janis Ong representing Interland Development Company; Ray Shannon (1057 Yorkshire Drive); Chuck Catania (7731 Squirehill Court); John Rakich (11835 Upland Way); and Paul Sonnenblick (11525 Upland Way). Comments: East Property Line: (8erming/landscaping treatment) - One Committee Member was concerned about children climbing over the four- foot fence to play on the railroad tracks. Could the fence be higher or thorny plants be planted to prevent this? A member of the audience indicated this concern would seem primarily applicable to children's play areas. In other areas it would not seem necessary since there are many points of access to the tracks anyway. - One Committee Member would prefer if the berming had a slope of 3:1. 2.5:1 is shown on the exhibits. - In response to a question regarding whether trees would be located on the east side of the fence, the applicant indicated that this would depend on the location of the existing Montarey Pines. These pines might already be east of the fence. Hopefully they can be retained. A member of the audience indicated that elsewhere Monterey Pines had reached the end of their life- span and were dying.

There should either be a dominant street tree type or a single species. Street trees should be of an "open" variety. They should not hide the buildings, but rather show them off. Plant street trees now. This would help unify the area during the interim p-iriod prior to extensive redevelopment. Raised/containerized planters way be more consistent with Monta Vista's character them at-grade landscaping. Street Furniture/Lighting - Standard street lights should not be used. Lights should be of a lower profile (height) than the rest of City. - Benches and trash containers should be constructed of wood. 1 - Minutes of Larch 14, 1983 A.S.A.C.

(Berming/landscaping treatment) _ - One Committee Member was concerned about children climbing over the-four- foot fence to play on the railroad tracks.

These pines might already be east of the fence. Hopefully they can be retained. A member of the audience indicated that elsewhere Monterey Pines had reached the end of their life- span and were dying.

The subject property is l,cate on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard approx'-- mately mid-block between De Anza Boulevard and Blaney Avenue. Presentation. Jim Fair al.d *lark Kroll representing Prometheus. Tne Committee commented as follows on the proposed buildings: - ne design is extremely good and very sophisticated. However, some concern was expressed that tiie highly urban character of the building may not be appropriate for Cupertino. - Move t'de building deeper into We site, away from the street. Shorter buildings s;iou;ld be located at the site's perimeter. - Tue City should ensure the parking lot will be landscaped in the event the "master plan" is never implemented. IMP r a , Minutes of April 11, 1983 A.S.A.C. (continued) ASAC-321i - Tice building ap;.ears too massive. It contrasts too touch with its surroundings. Splitting up the mass would help. Please note this does not mean the density needs to be reduced, but rather means a a smaller footprint would be desirable. Development of the full site might help by providing other large buildings for the proposed building to relate to. On the other hand, several large buildings mign t simply amplify the massiveness further. One member responded that this bui.ldin6 is of the character/density the City has already indicated it woulc. accept. It is too late to back off now. - t[ide the penthouse somehow. - It looks like an industrial building. Can it be made more personal somehow? - Try to avoid highly reflective glass. - Consider raising the :wilding pad 4 to 5 feet above curb. This might improve the building's proportions and soften its appearance, particularly on the east side. - Two architectural concepts are used in this building: Stepping the building on tine east side and taking a "bite" out of the north and south sides. One member felt these concepts did not relate to each other and lacked cohesiveness. Another had no problem with them. The applicants also showed the committee slides regarding the "master plan" concept proposed on February 2, 1983. The Committee had the following comments regarding the master plan: - Low scale retail buildings/elements need to be inter-mixed throughout tiie site. This would provide continuity and create an inviting, people-oriented environment. Lew scale retail buildings (with awnings or such) should front the parking lots and structures proposed on Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard. As proposed, the parking lot chaps the site up. - The greenspace is fragmented and there is not enough of it. The City is not getting enough people space/green space in return for t:te density it is allowing. 'IiNe Committee continued this item to the next meeting of April 25, 1983.

The A.S.a.C. commented as follows: - Location and general proportions: Three committee members had no concerns. One member was concerned about placing such a tall/massive building so close to the street. He'felt this was too abruptaa change of character from existing buildings along Stevens Creek Boulevard. He was also concerned that the building's mass would adversely impact near-by residential areas. lie recommended moving the building deeper ii.to the site. - Architectural - The building still looks too much like an industrial building. It is toe impersonal. - Why is the revised terracing concept an improvement over tnat proposed at the last meeting? Please address. - The building should be able to stand on its own merits and not rely on future buildings to make it seem complete. - All four sides of the building need to tie together to unify the building. This dues not mean then should be identical. - Can the terracing be wrapped around the east and west sides of the building? - The Stevens Creek Boulevard frontage is the only side which appears "treated". The other three sides st.11 need detailing to prevent a barren appearance. - 1 - es t# x•.'M'{ f `� d'�.. p..£e,S.e y .ab`Y` k',S�Y v b ,Y M Minutes of April 2 , 1983} A.S.A.C. (Coutit�u�edy - Concern was expressed regardin& the use of reflective glass, especially on the building's flat sides and mast side. Will the glass be inset, flush or protruding? Landscaping: Potted trees could be used in the interim parkin+$ lot. They could provide a temporary landsca,)ing functiou and still be used later. Paving: Prometheus and Lincoln Properties should coordinate to et;aure they use similar paving treatments.

The Committee commented as follows: - Eliminate the word "element" in Line 4, ,Subsection 3, under "Building Form and Scale" in the Draft Land Use Element. The ASAC recommends that three- story buildings be permitted along South Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and South De Anza Boulevard.

Narrow parcels need to be able to consolidate driveways with their n,a ghbors. - Sound walls between commercial and residential properties should not be mandatory.

The subject property is located in the southeast quadrant of De Anza Boulevard and Rodrigues Avenue. Presentation: Marc Williams and John Rintala representing Design Analysis. The Committee made the following comments: Site The entire site lacks an overall scheme. It seems unplanned and haphazard. - 1 - a I�4 �� M- t Minutes of May 23, 1983 A.S•A.C• �Cantit�aed� C- T - Consider the alternative of adding a second-story to one of the ex:'.stiu$ buildings. This would preserve future building options and reduce vlaual clutter. - The site currently has an illogical circulation pattern. The proposed buildings would only make this pioblem worse. '•s - The parking space 180 ft. east of De Anza Boulevard and facing into Town Center Lane should be eliminated. - Replace the existing speed bumps with textured paving. Architecture - The proposed buildings will not enhance the site. They are similar to the existing buildings, which are not particularly attractive. - Although the Committee did not like either building; they preferred Building "B" over Building "A". Something more needs to be done to make the building notable. - The buildings need additional relief and variety. An overhang might help on Building "B". - Building "A": The stucco treatment under the windows is inconsistent with the wood under the windows of the adjacent building. - The floor levels of Building "A" should be within 12 inches of the floor levels of the adjacent building. - The entire site should look compatible and unified architecturally. "his does not mean all the buildings must be identical in appearance. Landscaping - The landscaping shall be extremely important. It may be the vital element needed to unify and enhance the site. - Landscaping should be used to accentuate the main entrances to the buildings. Lighting - Show the exterior lighting pi3n to the Committee prior to building permit approval. 4. Application 26-U-74 (Revised) - Bethel Lutheran Church - Use permit to construct an elecentary school play yard at an existing church. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of Finch Avenue and Sorenson Avenue.

Presentatiou: Ron Enz, Denis Henmi and Sylvia Kwan representing Town Center Properties. The Committee made the following comments: Site Condominiums: - The relaxed, informal clustering of the old proposal is pore welcoming than the rigid, enclosed layout now proposed. - Show location of dumpsters on site plan.. - Provide a playground for small children. - One member liked the cluster layout, main driveway entrance and circulation. Office: - Could the building be relocated to the corner? The building's shape and entry seem ideal for a corner, rather than mid-block, :location. Both: - A four-story office building next to residential units simply does not work. The office will overwhelm the residences and could create privacy problems. If these impacts can be mitigated, the Committee will accept the lack of integration of residential and office uses, even though' they would prefer to see the two uses integrated. - The enclosed courtyards may be difficult to police, thereby creating a crime potential. In addition, the parking area between the office and condominiums could be used as a base from which to burglarize the residential units. - There is a potential for drivers to use the site as a short cut from Stevens Creek Boulevard to Rodrigues Avenue or visa-versa. Architecture Condominiums: - Put trim around the windows. - The interior courtyard elevations are not very attractive. ® Office: The Stevens Creek Boulevard frontage is too harsh and should be softened. Could the same stepping concept employed by Prometheus be used? The building should be a maximum of two stories in height at the fifty foot setbackline. - 3 - 00 ..,,r, AMA Minutes of May 23, 1983 A.S.A.C.

COA T INL'ED ITEMS: : 1. Application 1.5-U-83 - Design Analysis - Use permit to construct two office buildings totaling 39,000 sq. ft.. The subject property is located in the southeast quadrant of De Anza Boulevard and Rodrigues Avenue. The site is currently developed with 101,000 sq. ft. of office space. Presentation: Marc Williams and John Rintala representing Design Analysis. The Committee's major concern is that the two new buildings help create a single, unified identity for the whole site. This concern is focussed on site layout, not architecture. Although the concept of two new buildings is not good, it can be made to work with subtle changes. Staff recommendations regarding landscaping, paving treatments, etc. shall address this concern. The ASAC feels an overdll circulat'on plan should be required. Pioving Building "a" south or north would help by eliminating a dead-end parking. aisle. The parking spaces facing into Town Center Lane by Mar.chants should by eliminated. Tee applicant presented two alternative designs for Building "B'- -- one with, and one without an overhang. The Committee had no preference for one over the other. 2. Application 7-U-83 - To:,ln Center Properties (Chartier) - Use permit to construct 232 attached residential. dwelling units and a four-story, 81,500 sq. ft. office building.

The other members felt the landscaping would alleviate this problem. One member indicated that high quality detailing would be vital to >,e building's success. Two members felt the courtyards were not attractive and would create a "heat pool" effect. The landscape plans should be returned to ASAC for review. The necessity for a tot lot will be resolved at that time. INFO"IAJ, REVIEW: 3. Application HC-51,029.1 - Fontainbleu Apartments - Informal review of the installation of solar collectors on the roof of an existing apartment .building. The subject property is located on the east side of Miler Avenue between Calabazas Creek and Greenwood Drive.

INFOR24AL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPROVAL: Application 18-U-83 - Shell Oil Company - Use permit to construct a self-service gasoline station. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of flomestead Road and De Anza Boulevard. Presentation: John Williams representing Shell Oil Company. The Committee would prefer an office/retail building on this site for the following reasons: - \esthetically a substantial structure is needed at this location to offset the surrounding asphalt. - Two gas stations already exist at this intersection. - This is an entry to Cupertino. Should the gas station be approved, the ASAC made the following comments: - Additional mass is needed at the corner. The landscaped area should be drastically expanded and a heavy wood gazebo structure located there or a landscaped plaza area with benches for pedestrians could be added. - 2 - } k Mi eeB ih o6f .tune 13, 1983 A.S.A.C. (Continued) Eliminate the two corner driveways. - The traditional design of buildings in the area should be reflected in the design of the gas stations structures. A Modern design, such as that proposed, might look cheap in contrast. - Is there a bus stop in the area? Will the p.•oposal conflict with the stop? - The station should not have a fence arouno it like the Stelling Road station. - A car wash migtht be appropriate. 5. Application 19-U-83 - Valley Church - Use permit to replace an existing one-story classroom/assemb.ly building with a two-story building totaling approximately 21,000 sq. ft.

The subject property is located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard between Blaney Avenue and Randy Lane. Presentation: Moses Loke representing Breuner-Pevarnick Development. Discussion: Mr. Loke handed out exhibits with additional revisions at the meeting. The Committee was concerned that the proposed modifications created a more traditional appearance which contrasted adversely with the coiatemporary Clearlake Building. Specific commints were as follows: - There should be nt: eave overhang. - One rdember preferred the random windows to the proposed uniform windows. - The glass/metal entty is i ,consistent with the mater,�ls of the rest of the' building. - Are the proposed wood shakes consistent with fire regulations?

Discussion: The Comrittee felt the project was very well designed, specifically citing the massing an3 multiplicity of forms. However, the members still had a few suggestions: One member felt additional clustering is desirable in order to reduce the amount of asphalt and increase the amount of landscaping in the interior of the project. Another member recommended a special paving treatment to make up for the minimal landscaping. - The project's relationship to the adjacent ea:aterly property is important. A block wall should not separate the two properties. However; mounding would be appropriate. - The balconies are too small to be useful. - Interior walkways should be curvilinear, not rectangular. - Return the landscaping and paving treatment to ASAC for informal review.

The subject property is located or t`_n-_ east side of Peninsula Boulevard, approximately 150 ft. north of Miszion Way and 250 ft. south of University Way. Presentations: Dan Dianda Ann Anger Discussion The Committee expressed a number of concerns relative to the dimensional feasibility of fitting the development to these relatively small sites. Specific concerns to be expessed to the Planning Commission are as follows: - Dimensional clearances questionable in some instances; i.e. eave clearance, fireplace flue, walkways. - Setbacks inadequate for parking, pedestrian movements and solar exposure. - Neighborhood impact of lot coverage exceeding R1 standards should re analyzeC. - Parking F ,i unit ratio appears inadequate; may impact availability of on-street parking within the neighborhood. - Landscaping indicated is minimal. - Exterior material specifications should be definite. 3) Application 25-U-63 - United Presbyterian Church of Nest Valley - Use Permit to add 4,900 sq. ft. to an exis`a.ng 4,000 sq. ft. parish hall. The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Bollinger Road and Miller Avenue. Presentation: Robert Joyce, Project Architect Discussion . The Committee identified two major areas of concern. Con- tinuity of materials between the sanctuary building and par- ish hall expansion was encourage. Further, they expressed a concern that the reduced front setback line for the parish hall expansion may disrupt continuity of the existing land- scape; relocation of private interconnecting walkways adja- cent to the public sidewalk should be considered in order to conserve unbroken depth of planting. 4) Application 25-U-83 - Andrew Jara (George Somps, et al) - L%e Permit to construct an 18,000 sq. ft. two story office building on the northernmost OR Ai a` Minutes of August 8, 1983 A.S.A.C. (Continued) ASAC-332 of two parcels, and to prepare a future building pad on the southerly parcel. The subject site is located on the north side of Stevens* Creeb Boulevard, 200 ft. west of Blaney Avenue. Presentation: Andrei P. Jars, Project Architect Discussion : The proposal before the Committee reflected several changes in response to concerns expressed at a prior review. However, the Committee still maintains serious reservations about the appropriateness of the design concept and materials employed relative to the emerging office development pattern on Stevens Creek Boulevard within the Core Area. The character of this building appears more suitable to Town Center; there is no apparent effort to establish a unique visual link- age between this project and nearby recent developments as was previously suggested. Legibility of the project entry from the street'is obscure. One member suggested varying the pitch of the roof line in proportion to the amount of overhang provided._ Consensus : By unanimous consent, the Committee recommended that the Planning 'Commission deny the subject Use Permit. The applicant may exercise the option to return to the Committee ® with an alternative proposal prior to appearing before the Planning Commiksion. 5) Application 27-U-83 - Cecelia Massey - Use Permit to construct a duplex at the northeast quadrant of Cleo Avenue and Gardenside Drive.

The Committee noted that substantial indigenous trees of an unidentified specie may be present on south boundary of the proposed duplex, but have not been recognized on the development plan. The number and configuration of parking spaces per unit may be inadequate. Further, layout of the "extra" parking spaces immediately adjacent to the side property line is questioned. It was suggested that driveways and walkways serving each unit be re-examined for possible con- solidation. Lot coverage as a percentage of total lct area and shape may be too great. Consensus: The applicant was directed to return to the ASAC meeting of August 22, 1983 to present conceptuai building elevations and to refine the site layout diagram according to the direction given tonight. 6) Application 28-U-83 - Dennis Kobza (William rorroco) - use permit to construct a 74,O00 sq. ft. two story office building. Tice subject property is located on t:ie northside of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 300 ft. west of Portal Avenue. -3- r 2 r +0 4� �. �,� ,r i s. d .h " 'f u "o fl st , A.S.A.C� � t 03 ' w Presentation: Zn"ais Kobza, Project Architect Lisa Killough, Project Landscape Architect Discussion: The Committee was concerned about the apparent divesgence from the trend on Stevens Creek Boulevard to link the frd6r elevation of the office building directly to the parkway land" set- back. The building as designed was found to have ap."industrial" feeling and rigidity of site layout which appears uninviting to the observer. Three members felt strongly that the building should be moved forward, with the front yard parking; displaced to the rear of the site. However, they suggested that the residents behind the project should be consulted before final placement of the building is determined. The trash enclosure at the northwest corner of the site should be relocated farther south. The final site/landscape plan should be returned to ASAC following Planning Commission action. NEW BUSINESS: 7) Application HC-51 ,578.1 - Michael Lynch - Requesting architectural, site lighting and signing approval for a 4,000 + sq. ft. addition to an existing industrial building. The stb ject property is located on the northeast corner of Imperial and Olive Avenues. Presentation: Ellis L. Jacobs, Project Architect Ann Anger, Area Resident Discussion: Several members expressed concern about the safety and efficiency of the parking lot layout; however, it was deteriaicsed that all applicable dimensional standards had been met. Possible deletion of the handicapped stall was suggested, but appears to be a mandate of State Law. In response to an audience inquiry, the Committee did not consider existing code violations on the unincorporated property to the south as germane to the present application. Conclusion: The Committee approved the proposed plumbing yard site and building remodel according to the findings and conclusions of A.S.A.C. R39olution No_ 1062. 9) Application HC-511563.1 - V.C. Wong (Grosvenor Cupertino Partnership) - Requesting architectural, site landscaping, and lighting approval for a light manufacturing structure encompassing 1,15,000 + sq. ft. The subject property is located on the south side of Pruneridge Avenue, .1,000 ft. west of Tantau Avenue. Presentation: Louis Dcrcich, Matthew Witte, Vince Wong Discussion: a) Architecture: - The Committee was concerned that the suggested design of proposed building No. 3 did not compare favorably with the high visual quality of the "Trilogy" building to the south. Techniques such as rolled soffits, deep -4- t vF kUnutes of Aug don-tinued) AgAC=�3a shadow recesses and ribbed concrete parapet walls to enhance the per- ception of texture have been suggested as linka$es.. One member affirmed the appropriateness of adding- a single bold color element to the building's exterior to heighten observer interest. b) Site: - Additional berming of the pad elevation relative to parking lot grade was deemed appropriate, subject to meeting handicapped ramping standards. c) Landscaping: - Restudy of the east property line landscape duck-out with the intent to enlarge and enhance its screening value was requested. Conclusion: The Committee approved the proposed 110.000s sq. ft. industrial building according to the findings and conclusious of ASAC Resolution No. 1063. OTHER BUSINESS: 11) Proposed revision of A.S.A.C. iy-Laws In deference to advice of the City Attorney, further revision of the A.S.A.C.

Presentation: Cecelia Massey ® Discussion: At its prior meeting, the Committee asked that minor modifications be made to the site plan, and that preliminary elevations be supplied. Specific concerns to be transmitted to the Planning Commission are as follow: - identify exterior materials; roofing, siding, doors and windows. - Retain existing trees to the extent possible. - Balcony railings should be made of opaque materials to obscure view of items stored on the deck. - Redesign elevations to avoid rigid symmetry; incorporate some differentiation in each unit vis-a-vis shape and materials. - Commission should examine the --merging varie'.,, of rt-sidential densities in the immediate area of the project in terms of community character impacts.

S. A. C. Meeting of August Z2, 1983 ABAC-333 Presentations: M., ke Lynch Henry Miku.aco Discussion: By minute order, the City Council requested advisory determination by the Architectural and Site Approval Committee of the extent of improvements to be made to the site now occupied by a plumbing service and auto repair complex, prior to final action on the prezone request. Two alternative approaches to dealing with pre-existing conditions of non-conformance suggested by staff were discussed. Specific recommendations of the Co"ittee are: - Recognize pre-existing non-conforming setbacks, lot coverage, driveway and parking dimensions and inadequate off-strut parking, but require the following minimum improvements be implemented within three (3) months of annexation: 1) Eliminate parking in the front yard area .ieO ft. wide after dedication) and install landscaping throughout, except at northerly 20 ft. driveway and at the two paths leading directly into the two auto repair buildings. 2) Obtain informal ASAC approval of a specific planting plan for the front yard which emphasizes strong vertical growth patterns by extensive use of trees and tall shrubs, a color palette for painting of all structures on the site, and for a perimeter enclosure which will screen visibility of on-site activities. 3) Post a bond to cover the implementation of all street improvements required under Standard Conditions of Approval , as specified by the Director of Public Works, and a bond in the amount of $5,000.00 to ensure timely completion of the aforementioned improvements:. One member of the Committee suggested that another approach might allow annexation with no immediate improvement, followed by comprehensive upgrading of both the site and the present use to one more in keeping with the increased economic vitality of the area. NEW BUSINESS: 3) Application HHC_-51,199_4___Design_Profe22ionals,-Inc_-(Four_-_Phas_e System§,L-Inc_?-- Architectural and site approval for addition of a trash--compactor enclosure and related improvements to Building 4 of the Four-Phase Systems complex, located at the southeast quadrant of Worth De Anza Boulevard and Interstate Route 280. Presenations: Vincent Kemble, Jr. - President Robert Bechem - Architect Joe Galiata - Foar-Phase Systems Edward Pack - Consultant 2 Mi mutes of A. S. A. C. Meet ng of August 1983 Discussion: Concerns of the residents present centered an the hours of operation proposed for the enclosed compactor and control of noise resulting from pick-up and delivery of dumpster units. It was generally agreed that adequate oversight of the compactor's operation will be provided in the Conditions of Approval suggested by staff and the residents. The Committee required the architect and acoustical consultant to explore feasible solutions to mitigate noise impacts from transferring dumpsters. Consensus: Recommend approval of Application HC-51 ,392.4 according to the findings and conditions contained in ASAC Resolution No. 1466. 4) 8oe1ication_HC-5l.075 37_-_Intersil,,_Inc_ - Architectural and site approval to install an employee cafeteria within the parking area of an existing industrial complex. The site is located in Vallco Park on North Tantau Avenue, approximately 450 f t. north of Pruneridge Avenue. Presentations: Will Lester - Vallco Park Mike Fenton - Intersil, Inc. Discussion: It was determined that relocation of the two Ash ® trees affected by the project was not feasible; further, the importance of the trees, and of the appearance of the proposed modular building are minimal due to their limited public visibility. However, it was agreed among the members that the building would be less prominant if painted to simulate the lighter-colored stonework of the main plant structure, and that the floor elevation should be approximately level with the surface of the parking area. Consensus: Recommend approval of Application HC-51s075.37 according to the Findings and Conditions contained in ASAC Resolution No. 1067 5) Aeelication_HG-5113®1_2 - Integrated Sign_Associates (Home_ Federal_Sav_ingsi - Application for a planned development sign program for an existing savings and loan office building located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard. 150 ft. east of Wolfe Road. Discussion: The Committee discussed the appropriateness of replacing the existing brick ground sign with a plastic-face model . They expressed concern that the proposal detracts from the strong visual integrity which exists between the existing architecture, landscaping and sign program. The existing wall sign was felt unanimously to be more desireable than the proposed illuminated sign, and will be retained. The applicant was encouraged to attempt to modify the existing signs to reflect Home Federal 's new name and logo, with guidance from staff. 3 a m :! . s Consensus: Table Application NC--51,301.2 and direct applicant to work with staff to effect minor modification of the existing sign program. 6) �IAIr _9�iC_ s $�� __>��,�Ct_. 9D_ g �et, t �l�� _i_tgturaCtD Request for modification of a Planned Development sign program for a freestanding tape-out restaurant located at the southeast corner of Homestead Road and Stelling Road. Discussion: The Committee was generally favorable to the use of a ground sign which identifies "McDonalds" exclusively, but expressed concern about the appearance of the supporting base and the sign's height when placed can the existing front yard berm. N gotiations between McDonalds' and Brunswick Center's management regarding relocation of the existing ground sign are inconclusive at this time. Removal of the existing roof-mounted sign will likely be required as a consequence of installing the proposed ground sign. Consensus: Table Application HC-519216.5 and direct the applicant to return to the ASAC at a date uncertain with a cross-section diagram depicting the finished height of the sign relative to adjacent sidewalk grade. nTHEP BUSINESS: - "ember Higdon requested staff to i nvesti gate the Shell StafA nr9 in Vallco Village to ascertain the number of price signs authorized--present displays seem excessive.
