PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Application HC -51,296.11 - Home Savings and Loan Association requesting approval
of site, architecture, landscaping, lighting and signing for a financial building
on the northeast corner of Bandley Drive and Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Presentation: Frank Homolka, Project Architect
Minor site -related concerns as raised by the staff were discussed. Most
significant among the points considered is reduction of the width of the
existing public sidewalk to 5'. This approach will provide a deeper landscape
setback adjacent to the building, although some existing street trees may have
to be relocated.
The proposed building height was discussed and found acceptable as submitted (3.0').
The landscape plan was rejected due to lack of balance between evergreen and
deciduous tree types. The applicant will revise the planting plan prior to
building permit release.
Moved by Member Ripplinger, seconded by Member Irvine to approve Application
HC -51,296.11 subject to conditions contained in Resolution No. 825.
Motion carried 4-0
2. Application HC -51,296.5 - Koll Company (Sizzler Family Restaurant) requesting
approval of site, architecture, landscaping and lighting for construction of a
sit-down restaurant at the southwest corner of Bandley and Alves Drives.

Mintues of July 20, 1978 A.S.A.C. Meeting (continued)
The Committee discussed the staff's proposal to implement reciprocal access
agreements between the subject site and adjacent Gamco Store. Gemco's
Management is not amenable to the suggestion at this time.
The Committee shared the staff's concern about the relatively undistinguished
architectural character of the building. The applicants will accept a continuance
to permit further study and enhancement of the building's appearance. Similarly,
the landscape plan will undergo minor alteration in selection and arrangement of
tree types, and reshaping of ground-cover/lawn areas.
Moved by Member Ripplinger, seconded by Member Johnson to continue Application
HC -31,296.5 to ASAC meeting of August 10, 1978. Motion carried 3-0, Member
Irvine serving as the architect for this development having stepped -down from
his Committee seat at the start of the public hearing.
The Chairman declared a recess at 8:25 PM. The meeting reconvened at 8:41 PM.
3. Application HC -51,017.3 - Sunny View Luthern Pome requesting approval of
landscaping and a comprehensive sign program for a senior citizen's residential
development.
Presentations: Jay Mitchell, Project Architect
Tom Smith, Landscape Designer's Representative
Jenny Jackson, Neighboring Resident
The principal point of discussion pertinent to landscaping was the selection of
plant materials for the unimproved "contingency" parking area at the northeast
corner of Cupertino Road and Foothill Boulevard. The Committee shared the concern
of residents adjacent to the site that dust and litter should be minimized in
the area to the maximum degree possible. Accordingly, the area will be planted
and irrigated as fully as available funding permits.
The sign program consists of 2 -face ground sign oriented to Foothill Boulevard,
and a directory sign at the Cupertino Road entry. The Committee suggested that
the copy be simplified on the directory sign by eliminating the street address
and retaining only the project names.
Moved by Member Johnson, with Member Irvine's second; that Application HC -51,017.3
be approved subject to conditions contained in Resolution No. 826.
Motion carried 4-0
The Committee adjourned at 10:10 PM to the next regular meeting, of August 10, 1978
at 7:00 PM.
