III RECREATION COMMISSION - Park Priorities, Landscape Architects,
etc.
Chairman Loren Acker said the Park and Recreation Commission
has carefully analyzed all available information and known
community needs in regard to the development of Cupertino parks.
They have met with several potential landscape architects
and other personnel involved in the planning, development, and
operation of park and recreation programs similar to our
Cupertino project. These initial efforts have made it possible
for the Commission to reach unanimous agreement regarding park
site development priority for the first park and selection of
a qualified and competent landscape architect to plan and
design that site.
Following are the recommendations of the Recreation Commission:
"Therefore, the Park and Recreation Commission recommends that
the City Council approve the following program and that the
City Manager take the necessary action for its implementation:
1. Plan, design, develop, and complete the Central Park
on a first priority basis. This includes:
a. All playground, picnic, and outdoor recreation
facilities.
b, All landscaping including provisions for a creek
and small; shallow lake,
c. A community center to provide indoor recreation
facilities including arts. and cultural rooms,
community activity hall, rooms for conference
and:small activities; and a department office
for the City , Parr .and. Recreation staff.
Employ the landscape architect firm of'Royston, Hanamoto,
Mayes; & Beck,.to assist the City' -Manager, the Park and
Recreation Director and the Commiss'ion,in accomplishing
this -task.: The: firm of Ribera, and Sue is recommended
as an' alternate..
3. Establish the date of September 1, 1966, for completion
of the Central Park, including all facilities and
buildings=,-
JUSTIFICATION
This recommendation is based upon the following criteria:
1. The City has no developed parks at present and first
consideration should be given to a park facility
o
which would tend to serve the greatest number''of'
Cupertinans. Because of its central location, size
and easy access from all parts of the City, the Central
Park meets this requirement.
2. Central Park is the only site which could comfortably
house a community center offering varied indoor -out-
door facilities, as arts and cultural rooms, a large
hall for community activities, conference and smaller
activity rooms, the department office and general
purpose facilities for family and group recreation.
3. A general purpose community facility of this type,
open to all age groups, and offering recreation
programs in the morning, noon and evenings, is des-
perately needed in Cupertino. Schools alleviate the
facility shortage but are available for a limited
period— if they are available at all. There is a
maximum cooperation between the City Recreation
Department and the Elementary School District, but
pre-emption of our recreation programs for school
activities are common occurrences during the course
of the year. This alone inhibits and seriously
restricts the programming of worthwhile, long -run
recreational activities and courses.
4, Available funding, after -purchase of ail park site
property, will permit complete development of the
Central Park.without delay.
"The Commission appreciates the interest'and cooperation that
this Council and the City Staff have provided and feels con-
fident you will find that this recommendation satisfies the
best interests of.all Cupertinans,"
Loren C. Acker, Chairman
Park and Recreation Comm.
City of Cupertino
Councilman Noel a'sked Chairman Acker if the Commission has
gone into the economics of this. Chairman Acker said they
anticipate it will run 20,000 per acre for development of
the park acreage, exclusive-ofthe'cost of the land.
The City Manager said th6re'are resolutions coming up at this
meeting related to the`parks'progra'm and he does not antici-
pate any delays. The present,crops on the property, however,
belong to'the present owner, so.;it will be August or September
before we'have possession of the' -property. In the meantime,
we can make some -studies 'and by`8'eptember, we should know
approximately how much`mbney :�s available for park development.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Mayor.Dempster, to
allow time for the Council to digest -Chairman Acker's report
and to.have a study session on the., parks program.
Motion carried,`5-0
Mayor Dempster announced this study session will be held on
Monday, June 28th, 8:00 P.M., at City Hall.
-2-
Mayor Dempster asked if there were any postponements for this
evening's agenda. The City Clerk said he had just this day
received a letter from'Askam-Jones Enterprises, asking to have
their appeal dropped from the agenda altogether. This is
Item VII A on the agenda.
Councilman Finch said he 'fel.t th'1s� development would prove to
be an asset to the community. 'He suggested the developer
should again appear before the Planning,.Commission, and the
City Council should,give the Planning Commission some sense
or direction regarding this application.,- He feels it could
be accomplished either, through the C.ourit;Ordinance or through
variances to our existing Ordinance::.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by.,pouncilman Fitzgerald,
to -have the Askam-Jones application .reviewed by the Planning
Commission again, in light of the above -mentioned factors.
Motion carried,'5-0

V ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
ORAL:
1. Mr. Al Spiers, 10066 So. Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road, Cupertino,
invited the Councilmen to the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon
on Thursday, June 24th, at noon, at Blackberry Farm
Restaurant. He urged them all to be present, since he has
already sent out communications indicating they would.
2. Mr. Raymond W. McWard, 101458 Bonny Drive, Cupertino,
referred to his letter of June.l5th in which he and several
other interested persons made recommendations for an
amendment to Ordinance No. 228 in relation to height of
towers.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Stokes,
to refer Mr. McWard's letter of June 15th to the Planning
Commission for study and recommendation.
Motion carried,,4 0
3. Mr. Irwin Mittleman, 1050 University Dr., Menlo Park, re-
presenting Page Properties, referred to his letter to the
Council in which Page Properties protested the location
of the corporation yard. He'said they are planning a high -
quality development on the Stoneson property and feels the
nearness of the City's corporation yard will be a deterent
to` this development, to the",College .and .to the whole area.
-3.-
Councilman Fitzgerald said he has always felt this way
about this location for the permanent corporation yard,
and that we should be looking for another site.
The City Manager is opposed to moving the corporation yard
to another site. He believes this is an ideal location for
it and it will not be an eyesore. He plans a neat, well -
kept, landscaped yard with a painted, metal building.
The fast growing trees on the perimeter will adequately
shield it. Much work has already been done here, but if
the Council directs it, the work will be stopped.
A church is going in on the adjacent property.
Councilman Noel asked when Page Properties plans to begin
development of the Stoneson property. Mr. Mittleman said
they plan to begin work on the 150 R-1's this fall. He
appealed to the City Council to stop work on the corpora-
tion yard until it has been decided definitely if this is
to be the permanent location of it.
Councilman Stokes said he concurs with Councilman
Fitzgerald regarding the location of the corporation yard.
He has always felt this should never have been designated
as a permanent installation.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel,
that construction of the corporation yard be stopped until
a neighborhood plan has been drawn up of the whole area
and the Planning Commission has made a decision on the up-
coming application for the Stoneson property.
Councilman Finch does not feel the objections to the
corporation yard are justified. He sees no need to delay
the development of it and is opposed to making any changes
and/or stopping construction.
Councilman Noel has stated that he is willing to go along
with this location until we have another place for it.
He feels it would have been to the best interest of every-
body concerned if Mr. Mittleman had come forward six
months ago.
AYES: Councilmen Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: Councilman Finch
Motion carried, 4-1

VI A. REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION (See Minutes of June 14)
Chairman Gates said he would prefer to comment on the
items as they are brought up.
1. CPM DEVELOPERS: Application 13-V-65`for Variance for
front yards, street width, etc., in a 4.5 acre develop-
ment at east end of Riverside Drive, adjoining Deep
Cliffe Golf Course (De Anza Verdes)'. Approved by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 273. Also, Tentative
Map 9-TM-65. Approved by Planning Commission
Resolution No. 274. Council Resolution No. 1124.
Mr. Jack Kuzia, of MacKay and Somps, was present to discuss
the development.
Chairman Gates said the cluster homes.have been eliminated
and replaced by four R-1 homes. He stressed that the 37'
street request must have 4/5 vote of the Council in order
to pass.
Moved by Councilman Finch to adopt Council Resolution No.
1124. This motion was withdrawn to allow more discussion.
The Director of Public Works said his only objection to
this development concerned the street width. He said we
are backing down on this stipulation, which may create a
dangerous precedent. He feels we will not be able to
effectively enforce one-way streets. And "No Parking"
signs often go unheeded. The recommended minimum is
32' of paving, from face of curb to face of curb.
The City Attorney advised that we have private streets as
narrow as 20' in Cupertino. However, to go below a
standard 60' requires a 4/5 vote of the Council.
Mr. Kuzia feels the 37' street will be adequate to handle
any anticipated situation.
The Director of Planning said the general idea here is to
have a bare minimum of street width to preserve the
character of the area and to help keep the speed of the
automobiles down. It is his belief that a narrower street
tends to automatically slow down the traffic. People seem
to always exceed the speed limit; especially teenagers,
but the limit would be exceeded to a lesser degree with
a narrower street.
Chairman Gates said he is inclined to go along with the
thinking of the Director of Public ',<'orks. He questions
whether fire trucks could get through here in an emer-
gency, especially if the "No Parking" signs have been
ignored.
It has been.the observation of Councilman Finch in the
past seven or so years in Cupertino, with its narrow
and/or partially developed streets, that the Fire Depart-
ment has not had any undue hardship ir'reaching its
destinations
Councilman Stokes questioned.the'wisdo-m of a sidewalk on
only one side of the street. He feel's they should be on
both.or neither side of the street.
-5-
Mayor Dempster wondered: if the answer might lie in the
elimination of the sidewalk altogether and adding this
width to the street. Mr. Kuzia said this would mean the
removal of about three matured trees. The sidewalk was
designed to curve around these trees.
Mayor Dempster asked for comments from the audience. There
were none.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Fitzgerald
to adopt Council Resolution No; 1124.
AYES: 'Councilmen Finchj'Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried,.5=0
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Finch
that' since the sidewalk on one side of the street, that
only goes around in a cirche,'would have no apparent
value, and to add to the aesthetic value of the area, that
the sidewalk be 'deleted altogether.
The Director of Planning felt that in any area, there
should be a sidewalk to help protect the children ... a
place for them to jump in case of an emergency. Council-
man Finch felt that in an emergency., kids always seem to
find some place to jump out of the street to avoid getting
hit by a car. As a driver, Councilman Finch said he
would rather -see children walking along the street than
have them dart out into the street from the sidewalk.
The Director of Public Works said sidewalks help to keep
feet dry in rainy weather.
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-'0
2. Rhodes Construction Co.: Tentative Map Application
4-TM-65; 8 duplexes, Vista Drive. Approved by

although this application is under the name of the company
with which he is associated and he drew up the Tentative
Map, he now has no connection with it. The property has
been sold and"the Tentative Map was sold as a part of the
prope,Pty.
Mr. Carl Tucci, 10642 Randy'Lane, Cupertino, said he would
like this application approved by the Council, subject
to the conditions set forth by' 'thePlanning Commission.
The Director of Planning had no objections or comments to
make at this time on this application."
Planning Commission Chairman Gates said they approved this
application; "subject to' the `responses to the letters to
be sent: ctut -to' `the 'various 'agencies-. These approvals have
since' been deceived;.

X REPORT OF OFFICERS
A. REPORT OF CITY TREASURER,.
He had nothing further to report.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER.
1. The Water Department will meet on June 30th and on that
date they will set a date for a joint meeting with the
Council.
2. The School District has asked the Council, staff and
audience to be especially careful with their cigarettes.
Ashtrays are provided.

Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-0
4. The City Manager announced the Council must continue
to meet here at the Portal School Library at least two
more times
5. The Water Commission reviewed the necessity of making
a double. charge for all water service to those who
are presently building., or that will build in the
future, and do not annex to the City of Cupertino.
Present customers will not be affected.
Councilman Finch wondered if the last water rate
increase was not adequate. The City Manager said the
reason behind this double charge is to motivate them
to annex to the City. In hardship cases, for example,
where property is not adjacent to the city limits,
there could be public hearings and adjustments made.
Mrs. Ann Anger, 10185 Empire Avenue, Monta Vista,
asked if their water rate would be decreased if they
annexed.to Cupertino. The City Manager repeated this
has no bearing on those already established -- only
on newly -developed lands. Mrs. Anger said she is
looking into the matter of water rates with other
jurisdictions.
Councilman Noel asked if this method has been suc-
cessful in other cities. The City Manager said it
has been very successful.
Councilman Fitzgerald wondered if this would scare
some developers away.
Mr.. Robert Cromwell,.10520 Merriman Road, Cupertino,
said the County is still awaiting -.the receipt of a
"water letter.".from. .the City of -,Cupertino. His
construction has been -held up for: 1. six weeks. The
Director of, Public Works said he will look into the
matter first thing"in' the morning.

street improvements and completion.of a smaller sub-
division, should it be necessary, pending completion
of the final map and posting of the full subdivision

XI UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A, City Seal
In discussing the proposal by Hallmark, Councilman Noel said
Hallmark shows where our money goes but -not where it comes
from. There is nothing here depicting Cupertino's industry.
Councilman Fitzgerald agreed.
Councilman Stokes felt the Hallmark proposal was too "busy,"
Mr. Peter Emig said the basic idea of a city seal is to be
symbolic. He felt the Hallmark design'was illustrative
rather than symbolic. His proposal was of a seal, to be
used on the City's letterhead, etc.
Councilman Noel felt the Council was talking about one thing
and Mr. Emig was talking about another.
Councilman Finch felt that what the City was after was a
suitable plaque to present to citizens in appreciation of
their services and dedication to the City of Cupertino.
Mr. Melvin-Peterson,'1159 Elmsford Drive, San Jose, who is
a Cupertino property owner, felt we should have something
relating to our ancient orchards and vineyards.
Councilman Noel was not completely pleased with either
Mr. Emig's nor Hallmark's suggestions'., He would like to
see some more displays.
Councilman Fitzgerald said he likes the current "Horn of
Plenty;'"
Councilman Stokes said maybe the plaque should be of one
design and the letterhead of another.
Councilman Finch felt that maybe the plaque should be a
more personal thing, to be given to Worthy persons in
commemoration of their contributions-to.the City. Maybe
some type of standard resolution is the answer.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Noel,
to ask Hallmark' -and Mr; ' Emig for other suggestions.
AYES: Councilmen Finch,,.Fitzgeraad,,.Noel,.Stokes

Motion carried, 5-0
B. Miscellaneous -- There was none....
XII NEW BUSINESS
A. Councilman Finch feels there is a need to let the general
public know more about where their tax dollars are going
and in which direction the city is going.
Moved by Councilman Finch;>°s.ecorided by 'Councilman Noel, to
direct the City Manager to find out the cost of an annual
report which would.,give,the following,information:
1. What the City is doing.
2. Where the money is going.
3. What plans and developments are brewing.
4. The functions of the various departments and employees.
Motion carried, 4-0
-12-
Mr. Melvin Peterson said that although he lives elsewhere,
he is a Cupertino property owner and would like very much
to be the recipient of such a report, as well as the
Cupertino residents. He was told that if the City decides
to go ahead with this, copies will be available at the
City Hall.
B. Councilman Stokes has noticed boulevard trees broken off
and not replaced. He asked what steps must be taken to
rectify this.
Councilman Finch suggested that possibly it could be handled
like the new developments wherein the property owner
purchases the trees and the City would plant and maintain
them.
C. Councilman Noel has also noted there are many residences
where the island,between the sidewalk and curb are being
neglected. He wondered if something could be done about
this, possibly through the Weed Abatement Ordinance. The
City Manager said this is very hard to enforce.
D. Councilman Stokes brought up the question of possibly
a "No Left Turn" situation at East Estates Drive and Stevens
Creek Blvd.
XIII ADJOURNMENT
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Fitzgerald,

Mr. Jack ltu&1a. ot MacKay and Somps. .. present to dlscuss
the develo~t.
Chairman oates aa1d the cluster homee have been eliminated
and replaced by tour R-l homes. He stressed that the '57'
street request aust have 4/5 vote of the Councl1 in order
to pass.
Moved by Councilman Flnch to adopt Councll Resolution No.
1124. Thls motlon was withdrawn to allow more discussion.
¡'he Director ot Public Works said h1s only objection ':;0
this develop¡¡ent concerned the street wldth. He said we
are backing down on this stipulation, whlch may create a
dangerous precedent. He feels we will not be able to
effect1vely entorce one-way streets. And "No Parking"
signs often go unheeded. The recommended minimum is
32' of pavlng, 1"rom face of curb to 1"ace of curb.
:t.e City Attorney advised that we have private streets as
r.arrow as 20' 1n Cupertino. Ibwelter, to go below a
standard 60' requires a 4/5 vote of the Council.
~~. Kuzia 1"eels the 37' atreet will be adequate to handle
any antlclpated sltuation.
The Director ot Planning said the general idea here is to
have a bare mln1mum of street width to preserve the
character or the area and to help keep the speed of the
automobiles down. It Is his belle1" that a narrower street
tends to automatlcally slow down the tra1"1"lc. People seem
to always exceed the speed limit, espeolally teenagers,
but the llmlt would be exceeded to a lesser degr~e with
a narrower street.
Chairman Oates sald he Is inclined to go along with the
thinking 01" the J>1rt.'ctor ot Pl'blic ;'orks. He questions
whether flre trucks ~ould get thro.~ here in an emer-
-:,;ency. especially If. t.he "N<) Pa~lng' . signs have been
19oored .
It has been the observation of Co~cll.an Pinch in the
past seven or 8Ó ye"rsin Cupe1.'t1no. tilth its narrow
and/or part1a1ly developed streéts, that the Fire Depart-
ll'ent has not bed any undue hardship 1h reach1ng its
destlnat1ona.··. . -
Councllman Stokes questioned the .lsd05 ot a sldewalk on
only on~ side ot the street. He teels they should be on
both or neltber aide 01" the street.

4. The City Manager announced the Councl1 must continue
to meet here at the Portal School Library at least two
more tlmes.
5. The Water Commlssion reviewed the necessity of making
a double charge 1"or all water service to those who
are presently building, or that wlll build in the
future, and do not annex to the Clty of Cupertlno.
Present customers will not be affected.
Cou:1cllman Flnch wondered 11" the last water rate
increase was not adequate. The Clty Manager said the
reason behlnd this double charge is to motivate them
to annex to the City. In hardship cases, for example,
where property is not adjacent to the city limits,
there could be public hear1ngs and adjustments made.
Mrs. Ann Anger, l0185 Empire Avenue, Monta Vista,
asl¡ed 11" their water rate would be decreased if they
annexed to Cupertino. The City Manager repeated this
has no bearing on those already established -- only
on newly-developed lands. Mrs. Anger said she is
looking into the matter of water rates with other
Jurlsdlctions.
Councllman Noel asked if th1s method has been suc-
cessful in other cities. The City Manager said it
has been very successful.
Ccuncllman Fitzgerald wondered 11" th1s would scare
some developers away.
Mr. Robert CromwfÙl, ._10520 ~rrlman Road, cupertlno,
said the County Is stlll awaiting the receipt 01" a
"water letter" f'roIII the Clty ot Cupertino. His
constructlon has been held up 1"or six weeks. The
Director ot ~bllc Works said he wlll look into the
matter f1rst thing 1n the IIIOrning.
Moved by Councllman Pinch, seconded by Councilman
Fitzgera1d to continue thia to the next meeting.
