V. COMMUNICATIONS
a. A letter and subdivision map from the Leo W.Ruth
organization in behalf of McKellar and Associates
was read. Their representative, Mr. E. Jackson
Going discussed a proposed 40 acre subdivision of
the Rich property. 189 houses are under considera-
tion. Price range: roughly $12,000 Lot size:
mostly 6,000 sq. ft. Reason for discussion: tempo-
rary stalemate in negotiations with Sunnyvale, No
specific action was requested, and none was taken.
The McKellar group did not propose any help to
Cupertino in the matter of playgrounds or school
sites. It was the concensus that the subdivision
would probably result in a tax deficiency to be
absorbed by other taxpayers. Mr. Going made no
suggestion that his people might be of help in
obtaining compensating gains in some other direction
- -- commercial or industrial developments for example.
III. (Resumed after completion of oral communications from
those who wished to speak from the floor.)
c. Annexation of Homestead 2 -C (The De Oro Club) was
discussed. The various papers originating with the
owners were examined. It was determined that the
legal description and map were in order; that the
owners had signed properly; and that the annexation
is consistent with City policy.
MOTION: It was moved by Cali that the Commission
recommend to the ouneil=at Homestead 2 -C be
annexed to the City. Seconded by Neilsen. Carried
3 - 0. Bell and Paiz s a sent.
VI. The balance of the session was spent in discussing
thoroughfare frontage. Considerable acreage of R -3 -H and
0 -1 -H is not in these uses. Some existing commercial
development is not so zoned. The possibility of commit-
ting some frontage to M -1 -H or PO zoning was debated.
No decisive action was taken.
VII. Adjournment followed.
Respectfully submitted
