Presentation: Robert Beim, Applicant
B.H. Bocook, Architect
Member Jackson abstained from the discussion of this item.
The applicant outlined the measures taken to reduce the
massiveness of the building. These included reducing the
pad by 3 ft., increasing the front setback, recessing the
3rd floor, modifying the center front facade, modifying the
building materials to blue glass and pre -cast concrete, and
increasing the number of trees along De Anza boulevard.
Vice -Chairperson Nobel commented that she had been
concerned about the earlier building's compatibility with
the surrounding properties. She felt that the subject
building was much more appropriate for this location. She
recognized that the subject building is the same square
footage as the earlier building. The changes to reduce
massiveness are primarily illusionary, although effective.
Member Chapman confirmed that the large trees adjacent to
Anthony's Pier 9 would be retained.
Vice -Chairperson Nobel requested that the landscaping return
to the Committee at a later date.
Member Mann confirmed the accuracy of the materials board
She indicated that the colors on the color rendering wer+
too bright and the more muted colors on the materials boari
were preferable. In response to a question by Member
Chapman, the architect indicated that the second and third
floor glass would be slightly reflective in order to meet
Title 24 requirements. The first floor glass would also be
slightly reflective, but to a lesser degree.
The architect felt the modifications strengthened the
building. He commented that the most significant changes
were recessing the third story and eliminating the granite.
Recessing the third story will provide a smoother transition
to the subject building from the adjoining single story
structures. The Committee agreed with the architect's
comments.
NEW BUSINESS:

APPROVED:
An So A. Ca Meeting of September 9, 1985 ASAC-379
------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the Committee Members sympathized with the
applicant, they concluded that Condition 9 of ASAC.
Resolution No. 1068 should be retained. They felt that the
applicant should resolve removal of the existing Homestead
Center ground sign with the other property owners in the
Center. Member Mann pointed out that the existing sign was
on the applicant's property and asked why the applicant
could not simply remove the sign without the consent of the
other property owners in the Center: The applicant
indicated two other businesses owned half the sign.
Member O'ackson suggestedthat the applicant determined if
the CCR's address .the sign. If the sign is .not addressed,
the CCR's should be amended to include the sign.
Member Chapman commented that McDonald's needs aground sign
because the trees along the street obscure the building.
The Committee denied (4-0) Application ASAC-51,216aO per
Resolution No. 11710 '
