That the one acre 'lIQuId hé~ve tc be contained within a large area of land, such as they ~ere discussing in Indust:cial ?a~'k Sites, whic!1 would have anywl1ere f¡'olTl fifty to' sevel'al hundred acres in the developmcnt, Mayor Pe,lo"i hr0\lb'1!; '-.p the nn~ter of bufi'erir.g between the residen- tial and cievelor)mentswi'Ghil~ 3n ind'lstrial park.

He fa- vored an open expanse with proper landscaping. The Mayor asked the City Manager what his opinion would be regarding the suggestion of R-2. The City Manager stated that a landscaped area between R-l and the proposed development would create a much better atmosphere than to continue with residential development, all in line, The matter was discussed at some length and was deferred to a later meeting. Councilman Benetti made a motion to the effect that the study session be deferred until a later date. It was seconded by Councilman Lazaneo. The motion was withdrawn by permission of the second, Councilman Benetti withdrew his motion. No further discussion was had on the proposed ordinance, The Mayor stated that Mr, George Yamaoka had called him Tuesday, April 4th and asked if he could appear before the Council to have the Council review his plans for his development at Portal and Stevens Creek Boulevard, The Mayor stated that he had no objection providing the rest of the Council would be in agreement, He told Mr. Yamaoaka to get in touch with the City Manager and the City Manager would con- tact the rest of the Council to get their approval for Mr. Yamaoaka to appear. The rest of the Council had been contacted and they agreed to have Mr, Yamaoaka appear. Mr. Yamaoaka was asked to outline his plans to the Council. He stated that he had rental commitments that must be met by early June and that time was of the essence and that he would like the Council to ask him questions about his plans, He stated that he had his architect, Mr, Marburg present and that he could explain the design, Mr. Marburg briefly outlined the proposed center; how it is to be constructed. The question then arose as to the design of the Standard Service Station at the corner of Portal and Stevens Creek Road. Mr. Marburg said that he had revised the roof lines so that the station would conform to the overall shopping center development; that basically, the structure was designed exactly to meet the require- ments that the Council had requested of Standard Oil at an earlier date, Councilman Saich said that he could see nothing wrong with it and would agree that it could be constructed as presented. The Mayor then read a portion of the minutes of August 4, 1960, in which a motion had been made and all the Council had voted approval of a picture that had been presented by Mr. Sanor of Standard Oil, That he could not agree that the Council should change its position from their original action, Mr. Yamaoaka was aSked if the Service Station was a part of his develop- ment. He said no, that it was up to the Standard Oil Company to build the station and that it could be left out until the Council and Standard Oil agreed on the type of structure that was to be placed on the corner, Councilman Saich moved that the Portal Plaza be approved. That the Mayor and the City Clerk be authorized to sign the resolution accept- ing the plans as submitted, That the conditions outlined by the H- Control Committee be followed. All off--site improvements be constructed in accordance with City specifications. The service station was to be excluded at this time. Seconded by Councilman Lazaneo.
