MEETING HELD IN ROOM 106 OF CITY HALL, CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA. Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairperson Nobel ROLL CALL Present: Higdon, Miller, Morrison, Rooker and Chairperson Nobel Absent: None Staff Present: Sonia Binnendyk, Planner I APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes of December 13, 1982 were approved as submitted. CONTINUED ITEMS: 1. 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 Anza Boulevard, approximately 250 ft. north of Lazaneo Drive and 450 ft. south of Mariani Avenue. Presentation: John Vidovich, Denis Henmi, and Sylvia Kwan 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 creates 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. Application HC -51,502.2 - Wayne Sargent - Architectural and site approval to construct a single-family residential house in a Planned Development zoning district. The subject property is located on the north side of Orogrande Place, approximately 425 ft. west of Stelling Road. Presentation: None Recommendation: The Committee recommended approval per ASAC Resolution No. 1040 (5-0). -1- Minutes of January 10, 1983 A.S.A.C. (Continued) ASAC - 317 OLD BUSINESS: 3. Application HC -51,558.1 - Taro Yamagami (Gregg Bunker) - Sign Program Approval. The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road and Wildflower Way. Presentation: Bob Lawrence and Ellen Schwarzenberg representing Photo Drive -Up. The proposal should be revised to comply with the Sign Ordinance. The building stripe should be painted out and signs should not advertise specific services. THIS ITEM WAS CONTINUED TO THE NEXT ASAC MEETING. NEW BUSINESS: 4. Application HC -51,015.715 - Pablo's Restaurant - Architectural and Site approval for an 8 ft. x 15 ft. awning. 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 Simoncini representing Pablo's Restaurant. The Committee made the following comments: - A deeper arch in the awning and heavier posts would be more attractive. - The clearance from the sidewalk 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 HC -51,180.12 - De Anza Professional Center (Frangadakis) - Sign Program for an existing office center. The subject property is located on the west side of De Anza Boulevard, approximately 450 ft. south of McClellan Road and 150 ft. north of Kirwin Lane. 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. Recommendation: The Committee approved the proposal per ASAC Resolution No. 1042 (5-0). No recommendation was made with regards to whether the Standard Conditions should be waived. -2- Minutes of January 10, 1983 A.S.A.C..(Continued) ASAC - 317 INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: 6. Application 1-U-83 - Stevens Creek Office Center Association (John Volckmann) - Use permit to construct three office buildings totaling approximately 52,000 sq. 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 Alves Drive, approximately 300 ft. west of Saich Way. 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, in 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 proposed in the Crossroads Center was continued at the applicant's request. 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 slope. 9. The Committee approved the expansion of an existing second floor on a duplex located at 10401 Lockwood Drive.
