Seconded by Member Ripplinger. Acting Chairman Bond then opened the meeting to public comment. Mr. Bill Tagg said he wondered if the scarifying should be done until they were ready to plant and noted that erosion control might be needed on lots with a large degree of slope. He thought the financial guarantee should be a cash deposit required before the occupancy permit was issued. Member Claudy said he approved of the resolution in concept but he was concerned that Cupertino would become a dust bowl. He asked if there was a solution that could be sprayed on the soil to bond it. Mr. Tagg said he would check into this. Member Claudy then withdrew his motion. It was clarified this Resolution would apply to commercial developments only, and would become a standard H -Control condition until Resolution No. 4407 was withdrawn.

Continued from H -Control meeting of February 24, 1977. Staff member Caughey distributed an additional blueprint to the committee members. He briefly reviewed the staff report of February 3, 1977. Since no tenant has been obtained for the east half of the building, only the westerly and southerly elevations showing windows and doors have been submitted.

Mr. Reidel explained how the sidewalks would be sloped to allow manipulation of wheelchairs. Member Ripplinger pointed out that most of the trees were deciduous.

Member Claudy noted there were several changes on the present proposal from the original. He felt the planting should be coordinated with that of Building 1. Signing: Acting Chairman Bond said he agreed with the staff report that the whole sign plan had been built around the front reader board and he felt the proposed directory sign was inconsistent with the sign program already in effect at the center.

Application HC -51,075.441 - Vallco Park, Ltd. requesting approval of a sign program for the Vallco Village Shopping Center located at the southwest corner of Wolfe Road and Homestead Road. Staff member Caughey displayed colored renderings of the two signs being proposed. He referred to discussion in staff report regarding surface area allowed in planned developments, noting the applicant is asking for approximately 50% more advertising surface area than is per- mitted under the Sign Ordinance. The electric readerboard concept was discussed. Mr. Walter Ward, General Manager of Vallco Park, said they were asking for less footage than they have under existing signing. He explained intended use of readerboard. HC -189 Page 7 HC -51,158.3 approved w/ conditions HC -51,075.441 Vallco Park, Ltd. HC -189 Page 8 Public Hear- ing closed MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Mr. Jim Cassidy of Federal Signs offered to answer their questions. He said the reader board would hold a total of six messages and explained how these messages were programmed. Mr. Cassidy said only the letters would be illuminated at night; the background would not be visible. They had tried to keep the signs as low key as possible. Mr. Ward answered Member Claudy that the signs would be approximately 700 ft. apart. He said Vallco has a total of approximately 1600 sq. ft. frontage. Staff member Caughey answered Member Ripplinger that there was a sign program for Vallco center. Member Claudy said he thought these were handsome signs. He questioned why the signs were not alike. Mr. Ward explained they were built to correspond with the architecture of existing areas they would be serving. Slides were shown of the existing signs and the approximate location of the reader board sign pointed out. Mr. Ward said he thought building mounted signs for Wallbangers and Dr. Alperin's health clinic were included in this application. Mr. Caughey said they had not been included in the packet and should be treated as separate applications since staff had not had a change to study the proposals. The committee members were in agreement that only the two Vallco center signs were under discussion. Member Ripplinger said since there was a sign program for the center, he thought all the signs should be considered at one time. Mr. James Vaughn, architect for Wallbangers, and Mr. Sam Butler, repre- senting Dr. Alperin, ascertained their respective proposals would be considered as separate applications at a later meeting. After further discussion, Acting Chairman Bond ascertained from Mr. Ward that the applicant would like a decision made tonight on their applica- tion. Member Ripplinger said he was concerned about whether they would be violating sign program in acting on the signs separately and also about the six messages. He would not be happy to vote on this tonight. Member Claudy moved, seconded by Member Ripplinger, to close Public Hearings. Motion carried, 3-0 MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Member Claudy said he felt these were very nice looking signs. Since the center had approximately 1600 sq. ft. frontage on major public streets and the signs will be 700 ft. apart and would do a certain level of community service, he felt an exception to the strict interpretation of the ordinance would be in order. Member Ripplinger agreed with Member Claudy's findings and also that the signs would be an improvement, but he still felt the signs should all be considered at once. He ascertained Vallco was not planning an additional sign for the Homestead Road frontage. Member Claudy moved for approval of Application HC -51,075.441, subject to standard H -Control conditions and exhibits. Seconded by Acting Chairman Bond. AYES: Member Claudy, Acting Chairman Bond NOES: Member Ripplinger Motion carried, 2-1 Acting Chairman Bond announced the application would now be heard by the City Council at its March 21, 1977 meeting.

Application HC -51,316.2 - Kelsey Patterson (Valley Church) requesting approval of site, architecture and landscaping for an addition to the church located on the west side of Stelling Road between Homestead Road and Freeway 280. Senior Planning Technician Caughey distributed exhibits, and referred to staff memo of March 4, 1977. Mr. Voight, 1916 Old Middlefield Road, Mountain View, was asked to explain the proposal, which he did. Slides were shown of the site, and Mr. Voight used these to point out proposed changes and additions. Mr. Voight said there was no need of the mansard roof since all the equipment was internal but it had been used to tie this building in with the sanctuary. HC -189 Page 9 HC -51,075.441 approved HC -51, 316.2 Valley Church EC -189 Page 10 Public Hear- ings closed HC -51, 316 .2 approved w/ condition MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Mr. Kelsey Patterson, 1336 Warner Avenue, Sunnyvale, explained intent to retain large trees. Architecture: Member Claudy noted this building was basically invisible from Stelling Avenue. He said the addition as proposed was not unattrac- tive and did tie in with the church building. The possibility of grouping the sequoia trees was discussed and Mr. Patterson agreed this could be done. Member Claudy questioned the planting of sequoia trees in a 7 ft. area. Mr. Voight agreed perhaps another variety of tree would be more suitable. Acting Chairman Bond advised the clusters of trees should leave the window area clear. Member Claudy suggested the landscaping could be reconsidered by the applicant and brought back to the staff for approval. The hearing was then opened to the public. There being no comments, Member Claudy moved to close Public Hearings, seconded by Member Ripplinger. Motion carried, 3-0 Staff member Caughey referred to staff's suggestion of a low mounding of landscaped area to visually enhance the building's west elevation architecture. This was considered. Mr. Patterson said a mounding would create drainage problems and also be an attractive nuisance. He spoke of one instance where the mound- ing had to be removed because of children riding their bikes over it. Member Ripplinger moved to approve application HC -51,316.2, Valley Church, subject to standard H -Control conditions and the following additional condition: (1) The landscaping on the west side of the building to be resubmitted for staff approval at some later date. Seconded by Member Claudy Motion carried, 3-0 Acting Chairman Bond advised the applicant this would be heard by the City Council on March 21, 1977.

Application HC -51,409.2 - Devcon Construction, Inc. request- ing approval of site, architecture, landscaping, grading, lighting and signing for construction of two industrial buildings located westerly of and adjacent to Bandley Drive approximately 500 ft. northerly of the intersection of Bandley Drive and Alves Drive. Staff member Caughey referred to staff memo of March 4, 1977, pointing out need for an 8 ft. high sound barrier along the entire west and south boundaries of the project. Mr. Caughey also referred to mini cul-de-sacs at terminus of two streets to the west of the project, and plan for landscaping as proposed by the applicant, to be submitted tonight. Mr. Tom Masters, 727 Bicknell Road, San Jose, described type of concrete wall being proposed for sound barrier. Mr. Masters answered Acting Chairman Bond that he did not have any exhibits of the material. He said he felt the masonry wall would be most attractive. Mr. Masters pointed out there was a 6 ft. fence with redwood on top of it at the south end. This was pointed out on the site plan. Mr. Masters said because of the slope, they would like to have more flexibility in grading, in order to balance cut and fill on the site. He said the floor might end up 2 ft. above existing curb. Mr. Caughey showed aerial photo and located the mini cul-de-sacs. Mr. Masters exhibited a sketch showing proposed improvements. Mr. Masters agreed to participate on improvements on public property at cul-de-sacs. Member Claudy asked if the City had contacted property owners who would be impacted by the 8 ft. sound wall. Mr. Masters said this wall should not be a problem if properly handled and planted. He pointed out that the people who lived in front of the cul-de-sacs would have to maintain the landscaping. Architecture: The architecture was discussed and found to be satisfac- tory. Grading: Acting Chairman Bond said he did not see a problem with the additional 1 ft. on building floor. Mr. Caughey pointed out there should be a condition to that effect. Member Claudy advised the City preferred the least elevation possible. HC -189 Page 11 HC -51,409.2 Devcon Con- struction, Inc. HC -189 Page 12 Public Hear- ings closed MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Landscaping: It was agreed that staff could approve the landscaping for the mini cul-de-sacs. Lighting: This was discussed, an illustration displayed and found to be acceptable. Signing: Mr. Masters pointed out there was no place on the buildings for wall mounted signs and asked if small gold leaf signs could be placed at window or door to identify exact place of business. Member Ripplinger said the window signs should be uniform in context and location. Member Claudy said the tenant signs should be coordinated also. After discussion, it was agreed to have two low profile signs, each with three tenants . The hearing was opened to the public for comments. There were none. Member Claudy moved to close Public Hearings, seconded by Member Ripplinger. Motion carried, 3-0 Member Ripplinger expressed concern that all the information could be gotten on the ground sign and still look right. This was discussed. Member Claudy pointed out the signs are strictly for identification. Mr. Masters said they are "street furniture". Member Claudy moved to approve Application HC -51,409.2, subject to standard H -Control conditions with the further conditions that (1) The finished floor grade for Building A shall read 241' plus or minus one ft. and the finished floor grade for Building B shall read 240 ft. plus or minus one ft. (2) That signing for this development shall consist of two ground signs rather than three. The ground signs to be in conformance with the proposal submitted on Exhibit A except that up to three tenants shall be permitted on each side. Final approval for the exact design of the sign shall be up to staff. MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING (3) That the applicant will submit a more detailed plan for landscaping on the mini cul-de-sacs to the west for staff approval.

(5) That the applicant will submit for staff approval a conceptual plan for individual tenant entrance identification signs and approval for two ground signs is given with the understanding that there shall be no signs on the buildings. The findings are that granting of two ground signs with no building signs shall be the minimum variance needed to accomplish the purpose of identification and will result in the minimum number of signs for the entire project. Seconded by Member Ripplinger. AYES: Members Claudy, Ripplinger, Acting Chairman Bond NOES: None Motion carried, 3-0 Acting Chairman Bond advised this application would now be heard by the City Council on March 21, 1977. 7. Application HC -51,296.4 - The Koll Company requesting conceptual site approval for a supermarket located at the southeast quadrant of Bandley Drive and Alves Drive. Staff member Caughey pointed out the applicant is in the beginning stages of formulating this project. He referred to staff memos of February 25 and March 4, 1977. The main concern is the orientation of the market. He displayed two possible orientations and noted staff's thinking regarding placement of the market. Mr. G. D. Gibson, 311 Old La Honda Road, Woodside, said they were look- ing for guidelines and appreciated meeting with H -Control on this level. He gave a brief history of the site and the reasoning behind their proposal. Mr. Gibson distributed photos showing adjacent sites. He said they had tried to face negative aspects of the development as well as the positive. HC -189 Page 13 HC -51,408.2 approved w/ conditions HC -51,296.4 The Koll Company HC -189 MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Page 14 Mr. Robert Bernstein, 770 Welch Road, Palo Alto, briefly reviewed facts as presented in their letter of February 25, 1977. He displayed an auxiliary plan which illustrated traffic flow and pointed out ingresses and egresses. He outlined intent of their planning regarding land— scaping and parking, delivery area barrier and visual buffering by the shops. Mr. Gibson said the market would be blocked by existing buildings. Member Ripplinger noted it was a massive building for the site. He ascertained the northwest corner of the market was 25 ft. from the curb cut. Mr. Caughey pointed out the Traffic Engineer had reservations about driveway entrance for trucks. Mr. Bernstein said most of the trucks would come in evening hours and the curb cut would be only for trucks, not car traffic. Member Claudy said he was having a hard time even commenting. He felt a good job had been done to make this functional. He noted he seldom disagreed with staff but in this case, he liked the original proposal. He wondered about locating the shops at west end so the taller building would not be located closest to the street. He also suggested perhaps the shops could be split to each end of the market. Acting Chairman Bond said with provision for no visual impact from Alves, the orientation was satisfactory in his opinion. Mr. Caughey suggested another possibility for moving buildings. Mr. Gibson said they were open to all suggestions and would consider this. Mr. Caughey pointed out staff's feeling that when the design constraint is locked in, architectural options are limited, so staff was suggesting many options be looked at. Member Ripplinger felt the shop area would be out of the way and could be a hazard. He felt this area should be on Bandley Drive, or detached. Acting Chairman Bond felt the market should be oriented towards the center or Alves Drive as frontage. Member Claudy liked the shops to give a step down or break up of wall height. He felt the parking should be in front of building which did limit placement. MINUTES OF THE MARCH 10, 1977 H -CONTROL MEETING Acting Chairman Bond suggested softening the building with the use•of an hexagonal shape. He said he could not say no as to location toward parking lot if all. other possibilities had been exhausted. The hearing was then opened to comments from the audience. There were none. Member Claudy moved to close Public Hearings, seconded by Member Ripplinger. Motion carried, 3-0 Staff member Caughey was to prepareanadvisory on statements or findings of this committee which would be forwarded to City Council. 2.

Elvin, AIA, 11920 Rhus Ridge, Los Altos, said the new owner was proposing to make what he considered improvements. He described the changes as proposed. A change from stucco to wood was acceptable to the Committee members subject to staff approval. Mr. Jim Rogers, 86 - 3rd Street, Los Altos, said he was the new owner. He agreed something should be done to soften the second story. Mr. Elvin suggested a two ft. addition which was acceptable to the committee. Acting Chairman Bond told the applicant a colored rendering, showing the 2 ft. addition and other changes, should be presented to staff for their approval.
