B. Applica-ion: 216 -HC -65, M. C. Johnson, Inc., 831 Monica
Lane., Campbell, requesting Architectural and Site Control
Approval to .construct two 2100 sq. ft. duplexes, to be
located on Lots 3 and 4 on the east side of. Merriman Road,
101 feet south of Alcalde Road.
The contractor and property owners, Mr. & Mrs. R. H. Cromwell,
10520 Merriman Road, Cupertino, were present at the meeting.
This property was annexed to the City of Cupertino under
Ordinance 322, on March 23, 1962.
Before annexation, the County had given approval to construct
three duplexes and one single-family residence on this property.
There is a Record of Survey. The City has annexed this pro-
perty, with the provision that the County's rulings here will
be honored. This Committee understands that this has been
submitted and approved by the County Architectural and Site
Control Committee.
The property owners will dedicate the frontage for the right-
of-way. They have been allowed by the County to install an
asphalt berm. The Director of Public Works has suggested that
this Committee could make mention that the berm will divert
any water.
Mr. Small asked what would happen if there is an Improvement
District formed in the area. Mr. & Mrs. Cromwell said they
would welcome an Improvement District, if the others in the
area would also go along with it. In the meantime, the County
has worked out all the off-site improvements and the City
Council has already accepted this property with the conditions
as set forth by the County.
There is a possibility that an opening should be left in the
berm because the City finds it is sticking out onto the road-
way, causing difficulty in backing, etc., for other properties.
The City will construct something to take care of this.

IV OLD BUSINESS
00 Application: 191. -HC -65, Copola Pizza Parlor, corner of
Stevens Creek Blvd., and Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road.
Chairman Fitch reported that the comment from the City Council,
at their last meeting, was that in reviewing the application
and the approval of application 191 -HC -65, Mr. Copola had
agreed to remove the top sign if he could have the front sign
and the painted sign on the north side of the building.
Chairman Fitch said the Ci -.y Council has asked the Committee
to look into this and see why the sign is not being considered
for removal.
In our own Minutes of our last meeting, Chairman Fitch said
the Committee decided they would cast a "jaundiced eye,"
whether or not we would approach Mr. Copola very seriously about
the signs. It was not decided whether or not he would be asked
to remove any signs,,
Mr. Small said he stands by his decision to remove the roof
sign if the painted sign on the north side is to remain. If
we start relaxin; on our sign restrictions, we will be just
asking for trouble.
a
Chairman Fitch said that Mr. Copola is undoubtedly an expert
at making pizzas, but he did not feel his choice of signs is
doing him much good, He felt Mr. Copola should hire a sign
expert to advise him. On the other hand., since he is on a
month-to-month basis at this location., with no lease., perhaps
the cost would be prohibitive.
The staff was instructed to contact Mr. Copola to try to find
a solution to his problem. The Committee is going to ask
Mr,.Copola to consider further what he would like in the way
of signs on his building and he should present to the Committee
an acceptable proposal for the Committee to act upon. If he
does not we can, through the Building Inspector., and on the
strength of the City Council's direction, require Mr. Copola
to comply with his own agreement,
