IV ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
101
1. Mrs. Dorothy Williams, 2.2022 Lindy Lane, Cupertino, said
she is quite concerned about the condition of Lindy Lane,
-due to the developers' misuse of it. The storm drain,
needs to be completed before the rains start. 9he.had a
letter from her husband's doctor stating that it could be
a matter of life or death if Lindy Lane should become
impassable. The Director of Public Works stated that he
is aware of this condition.and has taken polite. action on.
it. Since this has not been effective, he will now use
impolite measures to accomplish this;.
2. Mr. Chris Lofgren, P.O. Box-.741, Los Altos, said he has a
permit from the Count-,T to. build a .service station on his
property on the west side of Foothill Blvd.,,north of

to take this up with the Director of Public Worls.

E. REPORT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE APPROVAL COMMITTEE
There was no meeting of the Committee; hence, no report.
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. APPEAL: JOSEPH DUMONT, application 18-z-65 for Rezoning from R-3-H to C-1-H at 20532 Kirwin Lane. Denied by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 300.
Mr. Joseph Dumont, 7669 Rainbow Drive, San Jose, displayed
several maps and plot plans to illustrate his proposal. He
said he already has C-1-H zoning on the front lot, but wants
to extend it through the adjacent lot in order to put his
9400 sq. ft. building on it, along with the required parking
spaces. He has 125' frontage on Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road and
190' frontage on Kirwin Lane. He plans a commercial complex.
Mayor Dempster asked for comments from the audience. Mrs.
Mary Kelly, 20548 Kirwin Lane, said she has submitted a letter
in regard to this application and would like it entered in the
record.
Chairman Gates said the Planning Commission's chief objection
to this proposal was the 160' depth; they felt it should be
LI00' deep.
Councilman Noel asked what would prevent Mr. Dumont from build-
ing a commercial building on only the presently -zoned C-1-H
portion. Chairman Gates said that it obviously would be
uneconomical.
The City PlanningDirector felt commercial use here would be
proper, but we should be concerned about the residential next
door. He suggested a wider strip between residential and
commercial and a buffering of some kind should be required.
Mr. Dumont said he is willing to put up the required masonry
wall and buffering.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Noel, to
close the Public Hearing.
Mrs. Kelly wanted it known that she preferred professional
rather than commercial zoning here. She is quite concerned
about the increase in traffic.
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-0
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman Stokes, that
application 18-z-65 be approved, with the stipulation that
there is to be no two-story due to the fact there is resi-
dential next door, and there are to be trees as buffering
within the 10' setback.
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-0

B. APPEAL: MacKAY & SOMPS: application 8-TM-65, Tentative
Map, east of Foothill Blvd., south of Hartman Drive, 34.5
acres. Denied by Planning Commission Resolution No. 302.
See also Planning Commission Resolution No. 303..
Mr. George Somps, 1130 W. Evelyn, Sunnyvale, gave a brief
synopsis of the previous proceedings on this property. The
main problem seems to be that they want two R-2 lots to front
on Foothill Blvd. and to create access to Foothill Blvd. The
Planning Commission preferred to have them have access to
Alpine Drive. This proposal is for five duplexes. Three
duplexes already exist. Mr. Somps then reviewed the traffic
circulation.
Mayor Dempster asked for comments from the audience. There
was a letter from Creston Improvement Association in favor of
this application.
Mr. DeWitt, 10395 Rivercrest Court.,, said the people of River -
crest were originally against this subdivision because of the
size of the lots. However, this plan is the best one they
have seen so far, or expect to see.
Mr. Steve Hall, 10629 Baxter Avenue, Los Altos, said he would
like to see another street put in to the south of Hillcrest.
He also wanted to know what will happen to the trees when this
property is developed. Mr. Somps said the trees are an asset
to the developer and he felt they would save rather than destroy
them. Mayor Dempster said Cupertino's Subdivision Ordinance
now provides for the preservation of trees.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman.Fitzgerald,
to close the Public Hearings.
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-0
Chairman Gates said that the Planning.Commi.ssion felt that
the condition whereby the duplex lots should be fed from the
internal street was quite important;
The Director of Planning emphasized the amount of traffic which
will inevitably be generated onto Foothill Blvd. He prepared
a traffic study, with 3700 dwelling units already in existance
in that area, noting that with present zoning there is a
maximum potential of 4600 dwelling units in this plateau area
east of Stevens Creek Blvd. The Director had prepared a map
to illustrate his points and referred to his recent memo on
this subject. He pointed to Bollinger Road and Mary Avenue
as classic examples of not planning ahead, and cautioned the
Council against such action.
Councilman Finch asked why Alpine Drive is a necessity when
it does not even exist.
Councilman Stokes, who is on the Trafficways Committee, said
Phase Two of the Expressway System includes the development
of Foothill Blvd. He felt it was important to keep the inter-
sections onto Foothill Blvd. down to a minimum.
The Director of Public Works said the Planning Director is
trying to preserve the right-of-way, and Mr. Somps has pre-
sented an interim proposal. He felt it would be better to
bring the street out on the P.G. & E. easement; one lane
between the towers and one on the other side.

The City Engineer said Cook and Wilson are improving Alpine
Drive From Foothill Blvd., back.to.the improved road. They
have a recorded map on this,.
Mr, . Milton Burnham explainedis�ver.s:ion of what he learned
at the Trafficways meeting,
Moved by Councilman Fitzgerald,, seconded by; Councilman Noel,
to reopen -the Public Hearing.
Motion carried, 5-0
-Mr.'Walter Ainsworth, 10689 Ainsworth -Drive, does not feel
Foothill Blvd. will have as much.traf:fic as the City 'Planner
anticipates. He said they will use the freeway instead of the
expressways because of .the 9peod.limit.and no stop lights.
The Director, of Planning said he did. not figure any, through
traffic`, just local .traffic;. getting out. The .State ;pr.eaent
plan is a tapering between the expressway and rural road here.
Mr Hogan, .11067.Linda Vista Drive, .;feels. it is important.to
keep the signaling on Foothill.Blvd, down to a minimum, and
there should be no direct access to Foothill Blvd. from lots.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded.by Councilman Fitzgerald,
to close the Public Hearing.
AYES: Councilmen Finch, Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Dempster
NAYS: None
Motion carried, 5-0
Councilman Fitzgerald said he has studied,the situation and
feels the proposed access is better than Alpine Drive.
Councilman Stokes questioned whether it was necessary to have
the intersection where it is proposed. He said you don't
need as much visibility when the intersection is signalized.
May9r D'err}pster .feels cars would ,be able. to make a safe right
turn onto Foothill Blvd. from the proposed street. He also
feels there is some hardship here on the part of the applicant,
which should be taken into consideration.
Councilman Finch would like to propose Cook and Wilson -provide
access on their final map. He suggested that a study session
be held the following night, with a representative from Cook
& Wilson, Mr. Somps, and..a.County Expressway representative.
Moved by Councilman Fitzgerald, seconded by Councilman Finch,
to approve application 8-..TM-65-,, with the stipulation that they
will leave lots 411 and 45 open so thatthey might connect with
Alpine Drive and access of two duplex lots 3 and 4 to be onto
proposed street through the lots; lots 1 and 2:.,to-have mutual.
access; all other lots will have access only to the internal
streets; strip between lots 44land,45 to be dedicated and..
bonded until Phase Two of the Expressway System is developed.
Councilman Finch feels this should go back to the Pldn'nin
Comitission' if ' there are to 'be -Any :changes . on the Tentative
Map. .. :.:
Chairman Gates cautioned that no entry should. Ve,allovwe.d
through the duplex lots...

Mayor Dempster fPPls it would .r a ilc" a0i1ip to ita,.o sti eet
going through the towers to these new homes.
Councilman Fitzgerald reminded the Council `'that the developer
said he would dedicate the 60, to get to Alpine Drive.
Moved by Councilman Finch, seconded by Councilman. Stokes, to
refer this back to the Planning Commission.
Councilman Stokes asked the developer if this would affect
him, timewise. Mr. Somps said that it would! Councilman
Stokes then withdrew his Second to the Motion.
Moved by Councilman.Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel, that
this application be sent to a study session, to be resolved at
the earliest date possible.
At this point,.Mr. David Franklin said, if we give 60, strip
underneath the towers and access to Alpine Drive, nothing more
can.be gained from a study session. He said they were right
down to the line now on this application and need action at
this meeting.
Chairman Gates said three conditions were laid down for the
Tentative Map months ago, and all three were violated.
Moved by Councilman Fitzgerald, seconded by Mayor Dempster, to
approve application 8-TM-65, subject to the developerts dedi-
cating a strip of land between lots 44 and 45 and put up a
bond for the improvements of same; that the access for lots 3
and 4 be provided with a rear access from the street; that
lots 1 and 2 have a mutual access to Foothill Blvd.; and lot
40 also have access to internal street; and with the future
provision that we mightconsider closing off the access street
to Foothill Blvd. if the extension through Alpine Drive is
thought to be more feasible.

Map, east of Poothill Blvd., south o~ Hartman Drive, 34.S
acres. Denied by Planning Commission Resolution No. 302.
See also Planning Commisslon Resolution NO. 303.
Mr. George Somps, 1130 W. Evelyn, Su.omyvale, gave a brie1"
synopsis 01" the prevloua prot"_eedlngs on this property. The
maln problem seems to be that they want two R-2 lots to I'ront
on Footh1ll Blvd. and to create access to Foothill Blvd. The
Planning Commission preferred to have them have access to
Alplne Drive. This proposal is 1"or five dup1exes. Three
duplexes already exist. !f.r. Sompa then revlewæ the traffic
clrculat1on.

llke to see another street put In to the south of H1llcr~st.
He also wanted to know what wlll happen to the trees when this

to the developer and he felt th~y would &ãVe rather than dest~y
them. Mayor Dempster sald Cupertino's Subdlvislon Ordinance
now provides for th~ ~reservation of trees.

The Director of Plar~1n; emphasized the amount of traffic which
will i~ev1tably be generated onto Foothill Blvd. He ¡:.repared
a traf:'1c study, ~l~h 3700 dwelling units already i!'l existance
In that area, r.cting that with present zonlng there Is a
maximum potentlal of ~600 dwelling units in this plateau area
east of Stevens Creek Elvd. The Director had prepared a map
to lllustrate his pcl!'lts and re1"erred to hls recent memo on
this subject. He pcInted to Bollinger Road and llal"".i Avenue
as classic examples of ~ot planning ahead, and c~utIoned the
Council agalnat such ac·;ion.
Councilcan Pinch asked why Alplne Drive is a r.acesslty when
it does not even exlst.
Counc~lman Stokes, who- ls on the Trafflcways Committee, said
Phase Two 01" the Exp~ssway System includes the development
01" FOothill Blvd. He 1"elt it was Important to keep the inter-
sections onto Foothill Blvd. down to a minlmum.
The Director 01" Public Works said the Plannlng Dlrector is
trylng to preserve the right-of-way, and Mr. Somps has pre-
sented an interim proposal. He felt It would be better to
bring the street out ~n the p.G. & E. easement; one lane
between the towers and one on the other side.
