, The Chairman of the Planning Commission reported that

on'iÜs part. Nr. Luckhardt, attorney for Swanson, sald he
would like to state their position at the next Council meet-
J'
ing, and that he observed only three serious differences now.

Dt ,froDosed new route of Junipero Serra Freewav
The Mayor said that he had received a call from Mr.
G~ene of the Highwsy Division for a meeting around January 2
at whio~ were reviewed routes U-l, 2, and 3. These were
discarded and a neW route, designated U-5, was produced,
This U-5would pass through the Kyne & Cunnings Subdivision
an4 oQnneot to a Stevens Cr~ek Freeway interchange close by,
Th~n it would oontinue easterly about 1/4 mile south of
aomestead Road and just north of Lucille Avenue, which would
ser~e as an aooess road. The City of Sunnyvale has evidently
plao~d obstacles such as subdivisions in the path of the U-l
anQp..3 routes.
~r. Booker, the Assistant State Highway Engineer, said
that the tivision will decide between U-5 and B, making their
reo()Jnmendation to the Highway Commission by next July, With
U..l and U-3 rejected, Cupertino can choose between these
ot~e~ two, Therefore a meeting will be called for the
lnt~rested parties along the two routes. The Highway Division
1s e~pected to furnish maps and some statistics,
Stevens Creek Free~;ay, however, will be moved closer to
Lowe Avenue and will be located about 450 feet east of the
railroad track in accordance with the City's request, Mr,
Booker said they will provide railroad access across the high-
way. Upon adoption of a highway recommendation, purohase of
right-of-way will be the next step. A Mr. W. ~. Powell,
living on Randy Lane, asked if the proposed meeting would be
é:1!l open one to which the Mayor replied in the affirmative,

resignation from the Planning Commission was thereupon accep-
ted by the Council, With respect to a City Engineer, dis-
cussion arose about the advisibility of rètaining the Mark
Thomas firm or a member thereof, one of whose first tasks
will be to check the subdivision map prepared by this same
firm. It seemed tô be ~eed that Jack Fleming could sign
this map in a capacity other than that of member of the Mark
Thomas Company. Mr. Fleming verified this and said that firmf
preparing maps also check the same,· mea 2!s6iJ.\UL!Wtway. Mr.
Anderson said he considered the primary responsibility to be
with an individual rather than a firm, Ethics wo~ld dictate
that the interests of the City prevail in the event of con-
flict between ones company and a City. Mr. Fleming said the
usual retainer is ~lOO plus fees for individual projects,
Councilman W1lson moved that we retain an en~ineer for the
Eurposes of actin~ as a City Engineer; seconded by Councilman
aich, carried unanimously.
With respect to the Seventh Day Adventist Church item the
Council saw no obstacles to the use permit providing the
Church can meet the req~irements of the b~ilding and safety
oodes. It was noted that parochial schools enjoy less strin-
gent requirements than public schools.
With respect to the subdivision described the Council
directed that steps be tsken to include it in the City.
Councilman Wilson moved that the report of the PlanninΠCom-
mission be ~ccepted\ exceptin~ tQerefrom the subdivision item
to be held for studY¡ seconded by Councilman Paizis, carried
