V ORAL AND WRITTEN CCIIIIUNlCATIONS
A. Mr. Tom Traeumer, 22284 De Anza Circle, Cupertino, spoke
on beha1t or the 1ndiv1dur,ls who tormed a group 1n the
1nterest or ~v1ng the C1ty ot Cupertino. They were
disappo1nted tbat the Council cUd not to11OW through on
their 1ntent1.oD of hav1ng one member or the Council
present at~la8t Board ot Superrisora' Meeting in
regard to tbie Jluarry. Be aaked that, 1n tbe future,
the CoUDOn IrØP a closer eye on wlat 1s lappen1ng up
10 tlat area. as 1t 1s very s1gnU1cant to the future
ot CUpert1Do.
B. Mr. Louia Stock1M1r, 22120 Stevena Creek Blvd., Cupertino,
was concerne4 about a mot1on paased. 3-2, at the April
3M Council ...t1ng, that the Council sba11 uee the
services or 01117 those travel agencies located within
the C1ty 11ld.ts. He spoke on behalf or Bianca Macchi,
2453 Foreat Avenue, San Jose. and read her letter,
stating tbat ahe 1I8a concerned why such action 1I8S taken
1n favor or one apec1f1c travel agenc)'. She teels thia
1s setting a precedent. Even though her bus1nesS 1s
not located 10 Cupert1no, she feels hers 1s not an
1301ated situation. On these bases, she asked that the
motion be resc1nded.
Adding to Mrs. Macch1's statements, Mr. Stocklme1r noted
that the theory behind this act10n is admirable, but
perhaps 1t was done 1n haste, w1thout reflect1ng on the
ramificat10ns of 1t. Mrs. Macch1 1s Cupert1no's
Ambassadress to our S1ster Cit7 1n Italy. She has gone
out of her way to help our C1ty along and has spent much
of her t1me and money 1n this respect. In add1tion,
she has the background necessary for th1s Sister City
relationship. As a c1t1zen of Cupert1no, Mr. Stocklme1r
asked for recons1derat10n on th1s matter.
May~r F1tzgerald clar1fied that the aoeve was a Minute
Order, not an Ord1nance. It w111 be reevaluated.

Mr. Dave Franklin, of J'rankl1n-Bahl Developers, stated
they are tt¡'1ng to do 80IIIething a little different in
this area in that tbeT do not allow the same e1e;rat10!1
w1thin th~ various P"OUpe ot homes. These are customized
homes; they are DOt ba11t until sold and they are then
built to specif1~1oD8 of the buyer. Mr. J'rankUn said
the)' are atte__. to develop 8OII8thing here of which
Cupert:lno can be PNWl, but they have run into somewhat of
a problø. The7. do DOt PI'OIIOSe to move the homes into the
setbacks, but 110u14 like to put architectural walls 1n the
front and side ;yard set.backs ot some ot the homes.
Counc. Stokes asked how maJ17 lots were Invol ved. Mr.
Prankl1n said th1.8 18 liard to Judge because they don't build
a home until it i. sold; perhaps a max11DU1D ot 5O:C could be
placed on this appllcatlon. even though tœy don't plan to
build that many of tide ~ype. He placed four renderings on
the bullet1n board to illustrate these architectural walls.
Counc. Dempster asked if these architectural walls are not
already constructed on the model h~oes. Mr. Frank11n sa1d
the ::)Cdel homes were built according to the C1ty Ordinances,
but :~ey have all been sold. He added that c~~~r cit1es
are a:lowing this variance for de,elopers 1n an effort to
ga:~ some var1ety in the neighborh00ds.

the De Anza build1ngs and consulted with the De Anza .
architect and then came forth with the render1ng now

Mr. Ray Carter. Mann Drive, said that, as a point ot order,
he wondered 1f' a developnent plan had been submitted wh1ch
Est depict types or build1ngs, etc. Mayor F.1tzgerald
quest10ned at what stage of development the development plan
can, pract1ca1ly sp-alr1ng, 1nd1cate the placement of build-
1ngs. ~. Carter then sa1d he understood zones around the
De Anza College were to be reta1ned residential, and felt
th1s property was not that far away from the campus that
th1s ~l1cy should not be cons1dered. He then d1scussed
certa~~ sect10ns of Ordinance 002(x}.
The C~:y Attorney advised that Ordi~ance 358 makes no refer-
ence :: a development plan. Prev10usly, we have deferred
deve:~~ent plans to the time Use Perm1ts are requested.
Mr. Za;;, 10330 Mann Drive, Monta Vista, objected to this

Mr. R:::ert van der Toorren, 231 Old Adobe Road, Los Gatos,
quote':' ;ortions of the Çal1fornia Government Code. He
consi':'e:'s 1t to be an error that a development plan has
not tee,. brought forward. The dec1s1on on this appl1cat10n
w111 ~~7e an enormous effect on the people 1n the area 1n
the ¡:-¿::ers of health, safety, welfare and morals. He
sa1d :~~s area 1s also at the gateway to the rooth111s.
Mr. E:~::k, of the San Franc1sco Office of the State D1vis10n
of H1~~'~ys, told Mr. van der Toorren that 1t was the C1ty of
Cuper:~~~, not the State. that k1l1ed the cloverleaf inter-
secti::~ at th1s po1nt. The Director of Publ1c Works sa1d that
while ~.e preferred the cloverleaf h1s research of the records
had 1,,':'~::ated the original design wa3 fcr one but had been
change':' :0 a d1amond 1nterchange at the request of the City
ot Cupe:'tino. Mr. van der Toorren went on to say there was
no ev~':'e~ce that the problem here has been solved.
Mr. Er~::e Wenn1gar, 10298 Mann Drive, Monta Vista, sa1d he
was op;osing tte 1ncrease in railroad traffic which would
be crea.:ed by this industrial park. The railroad cars
would :e coup11ng and banv.~/lg and would destroy the resi-
dentia: characterot the neIghborhood. The State and
County ':'0 not now have fUnds to develop the freeway further
and t~~s would result 1n a bottleneck of traff1c in
Monta ';~sta.

The C1ty Attorney sa1d the General Plan shows this area as
Light Industrial. Next. the Council must dec1de whether
or not this would be the highest and best use of the pro-
perty. The op1nion ot the City Attorney was that 1t 1s .
w1thin the power of the C1ty Council to set a t1me 11lll1t ,
for a development plan.
Mr. Collins. loò9o Peninsula Avellle. said that whether the
prope!'t7 rema1ns R3 or goes Ltght Industrial. 1t means
trouble tor the res1dents on bis street. You can It replace
the $12,000 to $15~000 homes BJQíDOre. The street 1s too

Motion carr1ed. 5-0
The City Attorney questioned the matter of the development
plan. Counc. Dempster equated the arguments brought out
at these hear1ngs w1th those at the t1me of the Vallco Park .
rezon1ng. He sa1d the pol1cy statement made by the Counc11 ,.
was that the property around the college perimeter should
rema1n res1dent1al 1n character. This is far enough re-
r.~ved from the College. not to confl1ct w1th th1s pol1cy.
He felt Vallco Park rezon1ng was to the advantage of the
City. This property 1s presently zoned mult1ple and 1t
seemed to him th1s proposal w11l create the same or more
traff1c. But the fact that th1s 1s Light Industr1al means
it will create traff1c flow 1n d1fferent d1rect1ons. The tI
City Counc11 asked for a study and recommendat10ns from the
D1rector of Pub11c Works. He felt the traff1c problems
would be here no matter what the zon1ng is. The appl1cant
should be alerted that he w111 be held to the same r1g1d
controls as Vallco Park. The ra11road and thl freeway are
good buffers.
Counc. Stokes wondered why all these problems had to be
solved before they are created. The D1rector of Publ1c
Works has presented a traffic flow plan and he has recommended
a solut10n to the problem. The De Anza cars w1l1 not all
be go1ng to and from the College at the same time, nor 1n
the same d1rect1on. Counc. Stokes noted there was some
quest10n of whether the College had actually stated the1r
pos1t10n on this. It was h1s feel1ng that the College 1s
well aware of this application and has not indicated their
opposit10n, if 1t exists. .

Counc. Noel's bas1c concern was the traff1c. The staff
had been 1nstructed to come up w1th a solution and they
presented the1r recommendat10ns.
Counc. Johnson cUd not understand that the staff had stated
that the problems had been solved. And another problem
came up at this meeting: the development plan. He felt a
study should be made Jointly by the City, County and State
on this traffic situation.
Mayor Fitzgerald agreed that Vallco Park 1s d01ng a good
Job. He agreed that the State should be asked to restudy
the area as to the freeway ~nterchange problem.
Counc. Johnson said t~t, without rezon1ng anyth1ng. that
1ntersect1on w111 be terr1bly busy. He would l1ke a pro-
fess10nal traff1c eng1neer to study the area.
Mayor F1tzgerald felt the City would benef1t from the users
of the propert1es. He does not feel anybody would go 1n
there blindly, and he sees no real problem here. Counc.
Johnson did not th1nk the Council was aware of all the
problems connected with this rezoning.
Counc. Stokes felt the Council should work toward gett1ng
a cloverleaf interchange here, and :ur position would be
much stronger if this property were Light Industrial. He
asked the D1rector of Pub~.ic Wo','ks if thE: intersections of
Peninsula and Bubb Road are now lined up. The D1rector of
Public Works sa1d it would be very improbable that we
could get this realigned.
Moved by Counc. Dempster tr.at application 3-z-67 be approved
with the following conditions and the ordinance be prepared
for the next meeting:
1. The development plan to be submi:ted before any bu11d-
ing permit of any kind, as well as the conditions set
forth by the Planning Commiss1o~.
It was noted that this is Just a matter of rezoning and
the Planning Commission has not seen the Tentative Map.
The Planning Director felt a development plan would be very
desirable here. The mot1o~ died for lack of a second.
MINUTE ORDER: Moved by Counc. Dempster, seconded by Counc. Stokes,
that the staff be instructed to draw up an ordinance in-
cluding the conditions set forth by the Planning Commission
as well as other pert1nent conditions.
In answer to Counc. Stokes' question. Mr. Krausz said they
defin1tely do have users for about 16 acres of this property,
but noth1ng can be s1gned until the zoning is there. On
t~t basis, Counc. Stokes believed we could now have a
development plan.

Mayor P::zgerald felt the applicant could coœe up with a
better =~.elopment plan once they have the zen ',ng and
ñave 111:)= of' the pro~"1 earmarked. Counc. Dempater COIU-
llented ':;mt a deve~o.-nt p~an based on supposition 1s or .
11ttle Talue. Counc. Jfoel could not see how they could
put together a deveJ.cy- ¡It. plan at this point. Be felt

Mr. Rc:~:~~es rev1ewed his plan. He sa1d that though the
Genera: ?:an indicates med1um density residential, th1s
area :~ ~~ ideal place for I1ght ir.justr1al because of the
nearne~~ :~ the freeway 1nterchange and because the traf~
create: :~ the 1ndustria1 area does not pass through resi-
dentia: ~::'eets. The State's corporat10n yard w111 also
be 1n :~~~ area, and the State 1s willing to adjust the
prope~:? :ines and use Bubb Road as access. Th1s property
has be~~ =ûned R3-2.7 for several years, but attempts to
devel=; :: 1n this way have never :,eached fru1tion.
Mr. R=:~:~~es sa1d they are lookir.g for the smaller type
1ndus:~:~: use for this property. A total 1nvestment of
6.5 ~:::=~ dollars is ant1c1pated, and we need this tax
base ~~ :~~s area. Or. Fl1nt and Dr. DeHart. of De Anza
Collef~, ~4ve personally told Mr. Rodrigues that they are

~ Planning Director rertewed the County Planrrl.ng Depart-
8eI1t's cOlllllents:
1. "The lot ¡ieslgn and 81ze needs further study. The odd
shaped lots make buildIng placement dlff1cult. and the
lack of variety In sIze and the small s1ze raIses
questions ot the quailty of antic1pated developnent."
The Plann1ng Director felt that consolidat10n or the 6
lots in the HE corner Into 4 lots would allev1ate this
problem.
2. "Some invest1gatIon should be made on the poss1bil1ty
of extend1ng Bubb Road along the west s1de ot the
railroad to Stevens Creek Road. This would eliminate
the ra11road Cro8S1ng and Improve lot des1gn cons1der-
ably." The Planntns D1rector added that this 1s
des1rable. but that unless and untIl we are sure this
can be done, we should not gIve up the al1gnment
through the 1ndustrIa1 area.
3. "Architectural and sIte control w1ll be the determin1ng
ractor in t~ · s 4evf!1)~nt. The proxImity ot the
De Ar:za Jun:..->r Collep and res1dentia1 developnent
make it 1mperatlve that a development ot quality and
compa<:1b1l1ty be p~ and required tor this area."
The Plann1ng Director felt that the 1mposed cond1tions
would safeguard quail ty.
The D1rector or PublIc Works rev1ewed the tratr1c counts.

Mrs. ~m SerkL~, 22380 Balustrol Court, Cupertino, also
suggested this application be den1ed.
Mrs. Ann Anger, Monta Vista, sa1d she paSBed out copies
of a list of types of uses allowed in the proposed zoning.
She sa1d she was concerned about enforcement, and sug-
gested a new Ordinance be written that is more restrictive.
Mr. Louis Stock1meir, Stevens Creek Blvd.. Cupertino, sa1d
John Rodrig-..Ͽ always stands behind his wo:rk. He felt the
I5tarf was iIIOre than capable of handling th1s situat1on.
^ It was his content1.on that it is better, to have all the
. small industrial uses 1n one place rather than scattered
throughout the City.
Mov;:d by Counc. Stokes, seconded by Counc. Johnson, to con-
tinue the hearing. Counc. Dempster could see no po1nt 1n
a continuance; the same th1ngs would be sa1d a1: over aga1n.
Counc. Noel and Mayor Fitzgerald agreed. Mot1rm and second
were w1 thdrawn.
Mr. Dave Merrick, 20231 Merr1tt Drive, Cupert1no. felt th1s
application should be granted on the basis that tpe pro-
perty is between a railroad, a freeway, a cannery and an
overpass.
Mr. W~lters, Hya,~_~sport Drive, sai1 è~~è. a~cording to the
Cou '~.:/, there is already eno'J.gr ind:':5t:-ial zoning for the
next 25 years' development. This p:'~perty 1s relat1vely
inaccessible. He s:.:ggested the ~ity Cc:.:r.cil table this
particular applicaèion in view of ~te ~act that the newly
rezo:'1ed Saic:: prcp,=:rty ('ould be \tse:: ~::-st.
Moved by Co:.:~~. De~pster, seconded ty C::.:nc. Noel, to
close the P~tl~~ Eea:-ing.
M:.tion carried,

Counc. Johnsen c~~~e~ted that he ~ ._~ like t~ table this
application. Tr.e ~o=ents he has ;,e,,:,1 :~rol!: the College
is that "they all tr:.:st John." He, t::, t:"~sts John; but
what if sometr~~g ~~ppen5 to Joh~ a~j s:~etc1y else is 1n
control of this p:'~perty. Coune. J~::~5:n wc:.:ld like:
1. A written co~er.t from the College as tc what their
exact pos1t1c~ is on this.
2. A list of the specific types of :ndustrial uses that
will be allowed tc go into this ccmplex.
Counc. Dempster felt there was a legitimate compla1nt with
the present zon1ng on this property due to the ra1lroad,
cannery, freeway, etc. He could th1nk of no other developer
he would prefer to handle the development of th1s property
other than tÌ".1s one, based on his past ~rformance; e.g.,
Cupertino Town Center.

Counc. Demp3ter asked ~or the cond1t10n that any prcposed
use be presented to the Planning COIIIIIlss10n and the C1ty
Council before 1ssuance o~ the building permit.
Counc. Noel co_nted tbat he has 1nspected so_ o~ these
.ma11 1ndustr1al areas and 80_ are done exceptionally
well. Bis only quest10D _s the 100: frontages.
Counc. Jolmson satdiÌlilt''''' quite sure the College would
submit a written~. 'lhey should have a veJ=7 strong
word on the list d:ti,~ or uses. He telt the C1t7 owed
it to all the peop1e.1ÍIb) l~n because this _sting has
run so late, to beft a lleCom hearing on this application.
Counc. Stokes said be ... one o~ the two who voted against
the po11cy stateMent tbat all properties arourd the College
should be resident1a.l. 'l'bere has never been a doubt in
his mind that this 1.8 d&r1n1te1y not good resident1,ol pro-
perty. 'l'he small lots somewhat concern him, a130. He
has observed the Santa Clara industr1al park and many ot
these lots have been coû1ned as the need arose. He has
slso observed many o~ tbe industrial parks that Mr. van
der TOorren spoke about. He sa1d we have a certa1n amount
of fa1th 1n the performance of developers 1n this C1ty.
He wondered 1f Counc. Johnson's requests could be taken
care of at the t1me ot the second hear1ng of the Ord1nance.
Counc. Johnson stated he also has faith 1n Mr. Rodr1g'.leS;
but here we are dea11ng with the land.
Moved by Counc. Johnson, seconded ty Counc. Stokes, to
defer this application to the next Counc1l meet1ng.
