PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. Application HC -51,339 of Merritt Sher (Terranomics Corporation) requesting approval of architecture for a commercial development located at the east side of Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road, south of Silverado Avenue. Continued from H -Control meeting of August 7, 1974. Staff report: Ms. Kramer reminded the committee this had been con- tinued so committee could see samples of color of roof material. Samples of the roof and wall material and architectural plan were displayed. 1s. Kramer pointed out one area of concern to staff; this was with regard to metal facade for signing. Mr. Merritt Sher, 440 Pacific, San Francisco, said the facade would be dependent on proportions of sign. In answer to Member Dressler, Mr. Sher said they would like to have an option of selecting either a low parapet across entire front or two level parapet shown on exhibits. This would depend on occupants.

MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 19, 1974 H -CONTROL MEETING Mr. Terry Rose, Westfield Company representative, said at City Council level it wasn't discussed how far out the wall should extend. He has discussed this with Mr. Nau several times. The residents of the first three properties to the rear have been contacted and apparently they want a 6 ft. wall. Mr. Rose said he had taken an 8 ft. panel and put it against the fence; it made a very high wall. The wall in relationship to the ground grade was discussed. Chairwoman Sallan noted the landscaping and wall height, plus where wall should begin, were main issues. She also asked Mr. Rose to show how revised plans covered committee concerns of last meeting. Mr. Rose did so. The committee agreed their concerns had been met. Mr. Rose asked about moving lighting standards into individual islands. The standards are only 12 ft. and landscaping of any height would interfere with function. The committee agreed. The wall was next discussed. ':Mir. Rose pointed out where the 3 ft. wall would start, become 6 ft. and then step up to 8 ft. The meeting was opened to public comment. Mr. Fred Mau, 3894 Pruneridge, Santa Clara, said he would like the wall at curb end to be 4 ft. Member Dressler noted this would make the wall rising in increments of 4 .ft., 6 ft. and 8 ft. which was a good solution. Mr. Alfred Tyler, 560 Meadow Avenue, Santa Clara, said he was the third property owner from Pruneridge Avenue. He was objecting to the 8 ft. wall. He painted out his property would have a fence both 6 ft. tall and 8 ft. tall. He was opposed to any wall, preferring mounding with low shrubs, but would agree to 6 ft. wall. He was also concerned about Coast Redwood tree which would hang over on all sides and would like something not so tall; preferably not much above fence. Chairwoman Sallan noted her concern about oleanders covering the 4 ft. portion of wall. Member Koenitzer moved to close Public Hearings, seconded by Member Rogers.

Changes have been made and are shown on plan. Lighting also had.not been approved, mainly because of time. She displayed exhibit and located standards on site plan. The standards are low and no problems are anticipated. It was suggested perhaps so many benches as. had been included in the islands were not necessa Mr. David Harper, 9050 Telephone Road, Downey, noted he had checked with several landscaping firms. He pointed out changes made in the landscaping. With regard to benches, these are in interior planters throughout the parking area. These could have mounding and plants in some and benches and brickwork in others. Mr. Harper displayed brochure on lighting standard, noting they had increased the number to give uniform soft light. The temporary turf will be a slow growing rye grass, which will be maintained along with rest o€ the landscaping. Chairwoman Sallan wanted to make sure screening would be adequate. She pointed out where it was necessary to have mounding and planting to screen automobiles. Mr. Harper explained the proposed mounding and planting and said it would give a full screening effect. He spoke to visual hazard of any high planting at entryways. The proposed areas for interspersing mounds and seating were discuss- ed. The meeting was opened to comments from the public. There were none. Member Dressler moved, seconded by Member Koenitzer, to close Public Hearings.

Application HC -51,313.21 of Fisherman's Village requesting exception to Section 7.021 of the Sign Ordinance to allow an advertising area in excess of the allotted square footage of an existing restaurant located on the south side of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 200 ft. easterly of Blaney Avenue Continued from H -Control meeting of September 4, 1974. Staff report: Assistant Planner Kramer gave the background of this application and brought the committee up to date on its status. She noted the applicant had agreed to submit a new sign plan to ASAC for review. The proposed sign was existing pole sign and boat with one modifi- cation; the small sign can reading "cocktails" has been removed from pole. The sign area allowed is 136 sq. ft. and the existing sign plus boat would equal approximately 344 sq. ft. It was noted the existing pole sign is 20 ft. in height. Slides of site and sign were shown. Mr. J. Robert Dempster, 20325 Stevens Creek Boulevard, attorney for the applicant, answered Member Rogers that there had been no public reaction against the boat. He distributed a letter that had been received from a citizen. He said a letter with 500 signatures indicating approval of the boat had been submitted to the City. Mr. Dempster said they feel the boat is not a sign. There is no lettering or writing indicating advertisement on the boat; it is of historical interest. He said it fits in with the landscaping and becomes part of the restaurant facility. There have been no negative reactions from the customers. He said they had removed the "cocktails" can as a conciliatory move. Chairwoman Sallan noted there was no sign change in application and asked staff for clarification of City Council's intent on a new sign, application. Ms. Kramer read excerpts from minutes and a letter to the applicant listing reasons for denial.

The hearing was opened to- the public for comments. Mrs. Ann Anger, Monta Vista, said she had not sent any letters- in but had spoken i.n favor of the boat at the City Council meeting. She said she did not consider the boat a sign but a theme and pointed out how this type of thing was used at several other - establishments. The boat does have historical. meaning.
