Presentation'. William Plimpton, Representing Applicant
Staff indicated opposition -to the perimeter driveway serving
the drive -up window stating that it severely compromises the
perimeter landscape area and is inconsistent with the south
Saratoga/Sunnyvale Road Conceptual Zoning Plan. The
applicant indicated the design is partially dictated by the
desire to keep the <existing business operati.ng throughout
Construction and necessity to retain the existing structure.
Committee Member Mann offered that perhaps the building
cou.1d be built in parts and that a completely new structure
could be erected which would allow the business to remain
open.
Committee Member Morrison favored eliminating the driveway
primarily for traffic related reasons.
Commi ttee Member Miller indicated concerns over the driveway
location.
Commit' -tee Member Nobel thought it was a nice design given
the fact that they were adding on to an existing building.
On the subject of architecture, Committee Member Morrison
felt that the north elevation was uninspiring to which the
applicant indicated that the area would be landscaped to
provide screening along the south side. The windows would
not be mirrored and. would go down to the grade level as
depicted on the elevation exhibits.
Committee Member Mann reiterated that she is not happy with
the driveway in the front of the building next to the
street.
