IV APPLICATIONS
A.'. Application 172-HC-65, Hu-mble Oil, 1330 Broadway, Oakland,
resubmitting for Architectural & Site approval to construct
a service station to be located on the NW corner of
Saratoga.-Sunnyvale.Road and McClellan Road.
ChaAMAn Smal" ."azecapped the proceedings of the last City
Council meeting where it was voted to retur.ri this application
to H-Control for further evaluation after a tied vote to deny
it altogether.
The chief reason this application w�s'sent back to the H-
• Cont.r. of 'seemed to be: that. two .of .t.he COWcilmen :relieved
precedent- had been set on the Mobil a.upZica.:tion.
Chairt�an Small said the H-Control a-prcva.l. �.[ this design has
no bearing whatsoever or.). the or ig�.."a�a�ulicaton :chat was
submitted for a Use Permit.

The original u^,-, e-�rrit: wa.� f_ or a '_�'ef.aco staff-.io-n; the second
was for an Associated slat . n.; and H• .mbie u."J.. made applica-
tion befo--le the A,isoc l.ated 'C-ue ,Perw,it ran out. Humble made
no presentation before Planni-Zlg The original
application, from Texaco, was 11 for a r!ietal building with rock
trim and a rock rcof.
Mr. Horgan felt that bef ore t•hP Co-Lrnn;_t-i,ae should look at
the new renderings the H1I.mblo ! p�eoplc have to offer at this
meeting, they should fir.•st ui'll c�wass
the re;:;u.-!,ts of the last
Council meeting.'
Mr. Roger,, of Humble Oil, said. he goy theJ.f;"iprE,;,sici1 t.ie
Council was against the metal' building,Fie then went out
and took some pictures of sartri'ce stations, in the area and
presented them to the H-CcntrollCommittee at this meeting.
Some had metal buildings and some were frame; some had
canopies and come did not.
Mr. Rogers showed the Committee.
an award Humble Oil has
received from the Napa Chamber of Co:lrmez-ce . He said they
are quite proud of the staticnslthey build. He is prepared
tonight to offer a block buildinng and 11T Lights over the
pumps instead of the metal building and canopy, Roof
materials are open for discussion. He said he can offer a
crushed rock roof, any c.o]or, al thi3k-•bUtt az;phalt shingle,
or the . metal shakes. The Fire; Marshall_ will. not OK wood
shakes Mere, and he has not as yet put an OK on size metal
shake materials.
Chairman Small wondered whether any H-Control Committee has
the right to dictate the type
of materials, as long as they
pass on aesthetics, meet the Building
Code, and obtain the
approval of the Building Inspector. If it is compatible to
the area, who are we to say we don't care for the choice of
materials.
Mr. Horgan requested a verbal opinion from each of the
Committeemen, whether or not they are willing to pass on
any new rendering, or prefer the
old.
Mr-: Fitch felt that due consicl,eration should be given to
�
Mr . Horgan Is statements; howe Jer, the Cii;y Council has asked
for some very strong consideration of something'else.
Mr. Rampy agreed that the Committee does not know specifi-
cally what the Council wants,.except through an interpretation
of those Committeemen who:were present a•'.; the last Council
meeting. He is in favor of seeing what the applicant has to
i
offer this evening.
.Mr. Nuzum said he was satisfiediwith the decisions made at
the special meeting on the 12th-�', . He felt 'i.� was compatible
with. the area and would certainly upgrade it�
Chairman Small said the recordshows that 5 H-Cwntrcl
Committeemen and 2 Councilmenwere sativ:f.ed with try decisions
made at the special ..meeting o'! the 12 ':;.. t =., 'ten rea"d the
last Council minutes r�ertainins:• ;to the Hixiiible app-Jcation.

Chairman Small s(-::•. _d he is ready to go before the Council at
their next regular. meeting and explain the difference be"-ween
this application .•and: the Mob:; l ap- lication. In this parti-
cular: case., there was not any rendering submitted when this
Use..Permit was obtained. The rendering presented a year ago
had absolutely no influence in obtaining the Use Permit for
a service station at this corner.
Moved -by Mr. Horgan, seconded by Mr. Nuzum, to approve
application 172-C-65, subject to all the conditions and
® remarks that are recorded in the H-Control Minutes of
March 12, 1965; except that the roof material shall now be
thick -butt, asphalt composition brown shingle.

station at Stelling and.Stevens Creek Blvd.) in this city

fact that "they will know what we mean," and I am not'
clairvoyant, and I don't know whether or not anybody else
on the Committee is.
This motion died for lack 'of a Second.
