Mayor Dempster reviewed the situation arising at the last City Council meeting which caused the continuation of deliberations on Application 408-HC-69 to this adjourned regular meeting. Mr. Harry Falk was the spokesman for Porter Jensen Associates and the Barnhart Construction Company and gave a detailed summary of the devel- opment plans for this particular parcel. He said that the plan entaile three component parts. The first and most important one was a 120 unit motel and while this was the most important, it was the most difficult to finance. The second part of the program was for a restaurant and th principals involved were on the verge of concluding negotiations which would provide Cupertino with one of the finest restaurants in the area. The third part of the program was the commercial area. This was the smallest but, even so, was the key part to the establishment of land values required in the financing for the motel operations. Mr. Falk commented that it was his understanding there was some questio on the intention of the developers. He clarified this, that the princi pals would retain ownership. He apologized for delays but said that CC-12 call to order roll call commission applicants interviewed appointments to commis~ sians 408-HC-69 presentation page 2 discussio 408-HC-69 approved Res. 1794 adopted report by parks and recreatio director Minutes of the City Council Meeting May 12, 1969 CC-12 they are proceeding as rapidly as possible. He reminded the Council that the conditions for the Use Permit for the service station were such that it would cost between $250,000 and $300,000 in other improvements before the station could become a reality. He estimated that, so far, expendi- tures in the project have exceeded $500,000. He emphasized that the de- velopers considered this to be a motel project with the commercial as- pects merely a satellite of that project. Councilman Noel reiterated his concern that the motel become a reality and in so doing that it would be of the highest quality. In answer to Councilman Stokes'question as to why the location of the motel had been moved to the rear of the property Mr. Fa1k replied that this was done on the advice of the project architect and various motel brokers. He concurred with Councilman Stokes that the existing City sign ordinances would not be conducive to identifying the motel but that this was not of prime concern as the height of the building itself would make it stand out. Councilman Beaven inquired as to the architectural style, the facade and the number of rooms for the motel to which Mr. Falk replied that the archi- tectural style would be similar to that in the rendering of the commercial establishment. It was moved by Councilman Noel, seconded by Councilman Fitzgerald and pass- ed unanimously that Application 408-HC-69 be approved as recommended. City Manager Storm explained that while the City Council already had approv- ed the purchase of the land from Eichler Associates for the Mary Avenue ex- tension the title company requested that this be formally authorized by re- solution. It was moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel that Re- solution No. 1794 be approved. The roll call vote was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Beaven, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster Noes: None Absent: None Parks and Recreation Director Parham presented his report on the feasibili- ty of constructing a community center building in Memorial Park. He present- ed a display consisting of the master plan for Memorial Park and proposed elevations and floor plans of the two community center buildings. The floor plan presented indicated some 6,000 square feet in one building and 12,000 square feet in the second one with a patio and open space between and around them to enhance and increase available and usable areas. He also gave a brief e~planation on the programmed uses of the various rooms within each building. He gave a cost estimate of $ll7,000 for the smaller building with- out the patio and between $290,000 and $300,000 for the larger building which would include parking area. The buildings would have a ceramic tile roof and the exterior would be stucco with wood trim. Mr. Parham stated that the likelihood of a grant in Federal funds was remote Minutes of the City Council Meeting May 12, 1969 CC-12 pag e 3 but not entirely hopeless. He read excerpts on the provisions and priorities for such a grant which in essence stated that low income families must be benefitt'ed primarily. He pointed out that it was possible to consider a community service area and not to limit the bene ficiaries solely to the City limits of Cupertino. Mr. Parham added that while grants were possible up to two-thirds of the total cost ex- perience has shown the average to be from 9% to 12 1/2%. Councilman Fitzgerald observed as having a higher per capita very doubtfuL that with the figures showing Cupertino income he thought Federal participation Mr. Parham answered Councilman Beaven's question on office facilities by stating that the present office of the Parks and Recreation Depart- ment would not interfere with the construction of the new building if that appearance was what was desired. It would be his recommendation, however, that approximately 300 square feet of the proposed building be utilized for departmental staff and to do away with the existing build- ing. discussion of community center Councilman Stokes observed that since the original discussion about this he had been thinking of the possibility of having a representative from each of the high schools to help in the planning. He thought that possibly the Council c0uld gain some benefit from their knowledge and desires particularly as the whole idea was aimed at providing some faci i- ties for the teenage group who did not now have such facilities. He suggested that members of the Parks and Recreation Commission, applicab e City staff and members of the City Council take a tour to view similar facilities in nearby communities. Mr. Stokes also suggested that the C ty Council reserve the right to appoint the architect and obtain different thoughts as to designs and styles. Mayor Dempster commented that there had been much presented which would require considerable thought on the part of the Council. He requested r. Parham to make up an itinerary with two alternate dates and so inform those who would be participating in the suggested tour of facilities. e thought it likely that it would be necessary to have two such tours in that it would be improbable for all people to be free on the same date. It was moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel and passed unanimously that the City Council adjourn to a closed personnel session Mayor Dempster called for an intermission at 8:49 P.M. intermission The City Council reconvened at 8:55 P.M. and immediately adjourned to a closed personnel session. closed session The City Council reconvened at 12:00 midnight and proceeded to conduct one more item of business. reconvened page 4 7-TM-69 approved adjournment Minutes of the City Council May 12, 1969 CC-l2 On explanation by the City Manager and by means of a cross section submitted by the Director of Public Works it was moved by Councilman Fitzgerald, seconded by Councilman Noel that the cross section as presented by the Director of Public Works for Krzich Way under Ap- plication 7-TM-69 be approved.
