(continued) ASAC-293 INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: 3. Application 27-U-81 - C. Thomas Reeves - Use Permit to construct a 9,800 sq. ft. office building on approximately .5 acre. The subject property is located on the west side of Pasadena Avenue approximately 125 ft. south of Stevens Creek 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 flat appearance of the building. The building is too box -like and could look like a 25 ft. wall from street level. c. Chairman Rooker was concerned that locating the trash enclose along Pasadena Avenue would be unsightly. Hember 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 was 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 painted, but should consist of some type of paving treatment. Ann Anger, resident of Ionta Vista, questioned the appropriateness of a predominantly Vic_orian architectural motif in =lonta Vista. She expressed support for a "Town and County" style shopping area or a mixture of building types. The application was continued to the ASAC's next meeting.
