Application HC-51,126.4 - Werner and Gloria Item requesting approval of site, architecture and landscaping for two fourplexes to be located on Viceroy Court off Alpine Drive. (Loc. Map, Ex. 1) Mr. Werner Item, 2103 Minalto Avenue, Menlo Park, California said he was the applicant. Colored slides and the site plan were displayed by the Planning Director. It was suggested that the refuse enclosure might be relocated to the area at the northwest corner of the property of Lot L with the addition of landscaping surrounding the enclosure. This would allow the shift of a parking place. Parking stalls should be a minimum of nine feet in width. It was also suggested that a two -foot wide strip of landscaping be developed along the northerly property line of Lot L for a distance of not less than 55 feet t o enhance the, appearance of the entrance area. This is to be accomplished by narrowing the driveway which is shown as sixteen feet in width. The architecture proposed for the site calls for heavy shake roof with stucco surface on the buildings. Two building designs are proposed, as shown on the elevation drawings, Exhibit B. Although the buildings are situated differently, the architectural treatment of trim around !doors and windows is the same, utilizing resawn wood to develop a rustic look. is Member Adams asked what the installations are on either side of the property. Mr. Item said multiple family units are on either side. Mr. M. Breuner, of John J. Koden Realtors, 1500 Las Padres Blvd., Santa Clara, explained the location of the driveways. In answer to Member Adams' question, Mr. Item said there will be a swimming pool rather than a decorative pool. Chairman Ryner asked what measures would be used to prevent the public from using the pool. Mr. Item explained how it was completely fenced. Member McLaren asked if any provisions are made for sidewalk lighting. Mr. Item said there will be porch lights and swimming pool lights. 40 Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting • Chairman Ryner noted that two City Council meetings ago, returning to 10' x 20' parking spaces was brought up and he wondered if anything further had taken place on this. Director Sisk said no official action has as yet been taken on this. Chairman Ryner also wanted to discuss the trash enclosure. He asked the applicant if he planned to use a dipsy dumpster. He cautioned the applicant that attention has been given lately to the numerous trash enclosures around the City that are not used and instead, the dipsy dumpsters are sitting next to them. Chairman Ryner asked about the existing trees. Mr. Item said are apricot and nut trees. He hopes to save one nut tree. Member Gatto asked if the properties on either side were already fenced. He was told they are, with 5 to 6' wood fences. Member Gatto felt there should be some landscaping on Lot "L". Mr. Item said he plans a 2' wide strip 50' long. Member Gatto suggested 40 following the curvature of the driveway with additional planting. Chairman Ryner asked for comments from the audience. There were none. Moved by Member Adams, seconded by Member Gatto to close the Public Hearings. Motion carried, 4-0 Moved by Member Adams, seconded by Member McLaren to recommend to the City Council approval of application H.C-51,126.4 (Werner and Gloria Item), subject to the plot plans and exhibits submitted, the standard conditions of approval, the 14 standard development conditions and the following additional conditions: 1. The refuse enclosure on Lot "L" to be relocated to the extreme corner of the lot and the parking spaces adjusted accordingly. 2. The refuse enclosures for Lots "M" and "L" to be so designed as to insure that the refuse containers can be easily ac- quired by the collection agency such that the containers shall always be inside the enclosures and the design of the enclosure to be approved by the City staff prior to construc- tion. 3. That a two -foot wide strip of landscaping be provided on the northerly property line of Lot "L", terminating in a teardrop shaped landscaped area to break the appearance of the long fence. 0 HC-35 Page 3 Trash enclosure Trees Fence and landscaping Public Hearings closed HC--51,126.4 approved with conditions HC-35 Page 4 Lighting More wood trim Redecoration Signs i ail Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting i Discussion followed.

Application HC-51,259.2 - Yuid'h L. Nakano requesting approval of site, architecture and signs for Azuma Restaurant, Portal Plaza Shopping Center. "Loc. Map, Ex. 2) The Planning Director said this site is an existing commercial building which is a part of the Portal Plaza Shopping Center. It is in a CG zone in the easterly store front of the Center. Colored slides and a site plan were displayed on the board. The architectural plan proposes that a�planter and ornamental sign with canopy is to be added to provide the atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant. The plan also includes addition of the redwood stained screen for garbage enclosure adjacent to the easterly side of the building. A loading canopy which has existed on the easterly face of the building has been removed.'ilThe plan calls for repainting the building, utilizing shell whit°e color on the masonry wall with a portion of the building facade decorated with plywood panel- ing stained a natural redwood colour with olive green colored trim. Planter boxes will be utilized. �I The proposed sign is in compliance1 with the Sign Ordinance, which includes the wall mounted insignia, sign. The,Azuma Restaurant sign to be located on the canopy is an internally illuminated plastic faced sign. ail Member Gatto was in favor of the Japanese symbol sign being repeated III on the side of the building facing Sears. Chairman Ryner suggested reducing the size of the front sign to allow the sign on the side. of the building. 'I U • Minutes of the June 23, 1971 I1-Contr.oi. Meeting HC-35 Page 5 ® The applicant said the intent was to have his canopy sign the same size and location as the previous sign. Chairman Ryner asked about sprinklering of the plants. The appli- Sprinklering cant said there are no plans for sprinklers, just a faucet is on that side of.: the building. Chairman Ryner said one of the standar conditions is to have all planting areas sprinklered. Chairman Ryner asked what type of garbage enclosure is planned. The applicant said the enclosure will be 4' x 7' x 4' with a dipsy dumpster behind a wall.. It is 12' out from the building. Chairman Ryner said we are looking around the City for trash enclosures that are not being used. Member Gatto wanted to comment on the total appearance of the project. He said they have more or less illuminated the store front with oriental signs. Around the corner they have the plante • boxes, with no unity around the corner. He suggested that some thought be given to the way the wood piece coming around the side perhaps could come around to the front beam; adjust the logo; take planter underneath it and extend it. Consider some high plants inl the space that shows low ones. Shove the refuse area back as far as possible and put that planter box in front of the trash enclo- sure. When the applicant said cars parking up near the building would bump into the planter boxes, the Planning Director said parking up against the building is not a part of the required parking and is not striped. Member Adams asked if the applicant would consider adding the redwood trim area that was closed off. He asked if they had considered adding the redwood structure without the sign. The Planning Director said if the trash enclosure is moved back it would cover this. The applicant agreed to reduce the size of the 14' sign and put the g he logo on the side of the building as well as relocate the Azuma sign in the middle of the wall. When Member Adams asked if the logo sign was illuminated, the applicant said no, that it was just a painted sign. The applicant then said he would like to eliminate the planter boxes. Chairman Ryner was in favor of keeping them. Member Gatto wondered if they are proposing a hardship on the applicant just because he has the end of the building. The rest of the businesses in that Center.have not had to come up with sprinklered landscaping. It was suggested that the applicant con- sider elimination of the longer planter and replacing it with 3 or 4 planter boxes, thus eliminating the requirement for a sprinkler system. 41 Trash enclosure Suggested changes Signs Sprinklering discussion IIC-35 Page 6 Public Hearing closed HC-51,259.2 approved w/conditions Sign description and location Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting Moved by Member Gatto, seconded by Member Adams to close the Public Hearing.

The applicant's request is for approval of a sign to designate the business activity of Mr. Brien [Nilson, Attorney at Law. The staff has reviewed the size and it is in accordance with the Sign Ordinance. It will go -on the southeast portion of the building, as shown on Exhibit B.

Application HC-51,245.1 - P. B. R. Sign Company requesting exception on pole sign for Standard Oil, southwest corner of the intersection of Stevens Creek Blvd. and South Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road. (Loc. Map, Ex. 4) Mr. Glen Crum, P. 0. 8721, Emeryville, California, said he re- presented the applicant. Director Sisk said the applicant's request is for an exception to the Sign Ordinance to erect extension of the previously approved ground sign to provide for a maximum height of 27 feet rather thar the 20-foot legal limit, at the service station at Crossroads Shopping Center. Colored slides were displayed showing how the new canopy blocks the free-standing sign. Member Adams said most of the trade and service use of this station will be repeat business and not necessarily one of a kind. He is at a loss to concur with the thought that the sign would not be noticeable from the westerly side of Stevens Creek Blvd. Mr. Crum said the service station structure hides the sign. The present sign is visible from all but the westerly side. Due to the high disposition of credit cards, their business is not chiefly repeat. He said 30% of their business in the San Jose area is from people running out of gas. This is a state highway not a neighborhood service station. They have considered a low IIC-35 Page 7 Landscaping Public Hearing closed HC-51,247.1 approved w/conditions 27-foot pole sign requested Repeat business Not a neighborhood station HC-35 Page 8 Move the pole closer to the street Two pole sig"nsl Problem caused' by height of canopy Signs on property lines Pricing sign review Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting ; level sign under the canopy, but th's would not be as effective. Mr. Crum noted that they have gone t''o the expense of pu';tting up a nice building for that corner. Hel!said that if the Committee was really opposed to the extra height they would like to know what the Committee would think about moving the pole out more toward the street. They would be willing to live with the 20' as long as the sign can be seen to identify the station. Member McLaren wanted to state that Ithere have been other people who have come in for a variance on the sign height and they were not successful. She was in favor of two signs - one on Stevens Creek Blvd. and one on Highway 9. U The sign is presently located just about as far out as it can be a with safety. The applicant asked the Committee to look at what they have accomplished with the new,i'!building. He felt they are really losing out. He said Standard has just redesigned their logo. Chairman Ryner reminded the ''applicant that every one of • their pumps has a chevron om it. H"e was against the height of the canopy and he was sorry it obstructs the view of the sign. Member McLaren said the height of t''he canopy is to accommodate the great number.of campers. She further stated that if this 9 'Committee recommended approval of this variance we would have every service station coming in for�the same thing. The applicant did not think he wasilasking for something unreason- able and if others came in with the same problem he would like to see their applications approved, also. The sign board would be located where the existing sign now stands, if.they were allowed to move the existing 20' pole sign!,straight out. If that can't be worked out, they would like to put one on either side of .the property lines.

Application HC-51,266 - Buck Skin Den requesting approval of sign for shop in Cali Corner Shopping Center, 10066 South Saratoga -Sunnyvale Road. • (Loc. Map, Ex. 5) Mr. Dennis.Mansker, 10582 San Lucia, Cupertino, said he was the applicant. Director Sisk said the applicant's request is for approval of a projecting sign. The size of the sign is within the Sign Ordinanc. The proposal is to reface the sign which was previously utilized by the prior business. The new sign has been prepared for erec- tion and a picture of the sign was shown on the board. In addition, the applicant proposes to illuminate the sign with two direct lighting fixtures mounted on the face of the building utilizing 150-watt lamps in each fixture. Member Gatto asked the applicant what materials are used on the sign. Mr. Mansker said it is wood. Member Adams wanted to know if the lighting sockets are existing on the front of the building. The applicant said they are. After some discussion of the construction of the sign, Member Gatto said he was concerned about the durability and safety of the sign. The applicant said it would be rosined so it won't weather. Member Gatto advised the sign be bolted so if it falls, at least it won't fall down and be a safety hazard. Chairman Ryner said we have here an opprotunity to eliminate a protruding sign. He asked if the applicant had considered a flat sign. Mr. Mansker said the sign is presently finished on both sides and other signs in that shopping center protrude the same. 0 IIC-35 Page 9 HC-51,245.1 continued Public Hearing closed Sign specifica- tions Materials Lighting sockets Durability and safety Eliminate protruding sign IIC-35 Page 10 Too rustic HC-51,266 approved w/conditions Discussion Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H--Control Meeting Member McLaren asked Mr. Mansker if there is some other kind of wood he could put around that sign. It is a bit too rustic for the main intersection of town. Member Adams suggested pealed cedar. Chairman Ryner asked for comments from the audience. There were none. Moved by Member McLaren, seconded by Member Gatto to recommend to the City Council approval of application HC-51,266 - Buck Skin Den for their sign, per the plans submitted with the condition that the framing around the outside perimeter to be of a finished wood product to be reviewed by the Planning staff, and per the standard conditions. Amendment: Moved by Member Gatto, seconded by Member Adams, that the lighting that is used for the sign to be used solely to light the sign and not to be objectionably visible to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Vote on amendment: AYES: Members Adams, Gatto, McLaren, Chairman Ryner NOES: None ABSENT: Member Marquez Motion carried, 4-0 Discussion followed. Chairman Ryner commented that this is an opportunity to assist in dressing up this shopping center and the protrusion of this sign does not add to the City of Cupertino. He does not feel this sign, with or without the changing of the frame will improve this corner. Member McLaren pointed out again that this property is for sale and°,the applicant does not have a long lease. It is just a matter of time until the whole building is going down. Member Gatto felt it would be an undue hardship on the applicant because of the proximity of the signs on both sides of him.

H-Control Meeting 9. Application HC--51,075.5 -,Sears, Roebuck & Company requesting approval of spotlight for bell towei•L�, east side of retail store _located at Stevens Creek Blvd. and Wolfe Road. (Loc. Map, Ex. 6) Mr. Charles Day, 1015 Glenridge, San Jose, said he represented the applicant. Director Sisk stated that the applicant's request is for approval of a spotlight to be mounted on a 14 foot galvanized steel pole and directed so as to illuminate the Sears decorative bell system along the Wolfe Road side of the building only. The pole will go into a planter area. Member Adams asked if any al-ternative treatment to one of those huge planter boxes with lighting shining up had been considered. Mr. Day said no provision has been made for a circuit in that particular area. There is an underground cable routed through the proposed area, going to the poles. Member Adams said he was hesitant about putting a light in the proposed spot because it could be a -safety hazard with light shining directly into the eyes of drivers and pedestrians. Chairman Ryner was in favor of drilling a hole through the wall and getting electricity from the inside of the building and putti the light in the area up close to the wall. Mr. Day said the light would be up high enough so as not to shine directly into the eyes of drivers or pedestrians. They are not planning to light the bell towers on the other side because they need the illumination only on this side and there is a circuitry problem. In view of the feeling of the neighbors to the West, they felt they had better study the other side further before making any changes. Chairman Ryner said he sees this as just another light on the Sears building rather than an enhancement. Member Adams complimented Mr. Day in his concern for the residen- tial area to the west of this property; however, he said he favors Chairman Ryner's viewpoint in that he prefers not to see a spotlight in the parking lot and would like to see some alterna- tives. Member McLaren said she, too, feels that instead of a 14' pole light, a light coming up from the planter box along the wall would be much more desirable. Chairman Ryner asked for comments from the audience. There were none. 0 II C-' 5 Page 11 Request description Light location discussion Just another light on Sears HC-35 Page 12 .Pub 1 is Hearings closed HC-51,075.5 continued Measurex proposed changes Exposed aggregate on 4 sides rather than 3 Air condition- ing units Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting Moved by Member Adams, seconded by Member Gatto to close the Public Hearings.

Measurex Corporation letter dated 6/18/71 re: minor changes in architecture. The Planning Director went over the Measurex building plans, noting the proposed changes: the addition of one more 20' bay to the north end of the manufacturing wing, a change in the direction of the ribs on the office building from horizontal to vertical, and an extension of the ribbing below the first story windows to the ground; deletion of the windows in one panel on the south elevation of the manufac- turing wing; and deletion of the pseudo -windows on the north elevation of the manufacturing wing. Mr. James Thorne,CABAK ASSOCIATES, 1080 O'Brien Drive, Menlo Park, said he represented the.applicant. Member Adams asked Mr. Thorne why the one wall has a broom finish and exposed aggregate on the other three. Mr. Thorne said this is the only side that is not exposed to the street. The Committee felt that wall would get a lot of,exposure and they felt that it should also be washed aggregate. In answer to Member Gatto's questions, Mr.Thorne said the aggregate would be seeded as it is cast. There is a 12" smooth area before the aggregate area. The transition method is a change of plane and texture. It will be a steel trowel texture. Member Gatto commented that he would like to see the aggregate all tha way around the building. Member Adams complimente-i Cabak Associates for bringing the modi- fications of their plans back to the Committee for approval. He asked if the air conditioning units are still all hidden. Mr. Thorne said, as a matter of fact, they have three boiler flues they can't get behine the wall. 0 Is 11, f Minutes of the June 23, 1971 II -Control Meeting Member Adams said, in light of.the letter from the applicant, he wondered if it would be worthwhile to give Mr. Thorne additional time to find a solution to the 3 boiler flues. Chairman Ryner felt perhaps this should then be reviewed under Public Hearings rather than Unfinished Business. MINUTE ORDER Moved by Member Gatto, seconded by Member Adams that the changes as proposed in the final working drawings are to be considered minor with the provision that the westerly manufacturing wing of the building to be exposed aggregate treatment. Member Gatto said the unification of the ribs on the office wing is an improvement of the previous proposal. The exposed aggregate would be an improvement over the sandblasting proposal. ® AYES: Members Adams, Gatto, McLaren, Chairman Ryner NOES: None ABSENT: Member Marquez Motion carried, 4-0 11. Crossroads Center Landscaping The Planning Chairman said the applicant and her attorney were not in the audience to discuss the landscaping. Members of the Committee felt the landscaping was not in keeping with the proposal; however, there is some talk of changing the signals which would involve other changes. It was decided, under the circumstances, any determination by this Committee at this time would be premature. 12. Status of H-Control applications. 13.

G. & E. and P. T. & T. Member Adams said they reviewed a map of the City of Cupertino showing the areas where underground utilities had been accomplished and those areas where they are still above ground. There was a discussion of what areas should be considered next. Blaney Avenue undergrounding is in process, and the Highway 9-Stevens Creek Blvd. area has been pro rammed as to what is to be collected from the utility companies. fhe intent is to place both electrical and telephone lines under.gro-.ind. A list of potential undergrounding areas include Blaney Avei.ue, Stelling Road, Highway 9 near the freeway, Bobb Road south of McClellan and the balance of Highway 9. 0 Minutes of the June 23, 1971 H-Control Meeting MISCELLANEOUS 19. There was some discussion, of action,3 taken by the City Council at their last meeting: a. Mr. Meu, with regard to the PW V arket, requested an extension of time, which was a surprise. b. Goodyear will be coming back to this Committee for reconsideration on the basis that: members of the Council felt there was too much exposure of the bays to the street. 20, Chairman Ryner stated that when Standard Oil comes back, the Committee should review the landscaping. 'IHC-35 Pale 15 21. Budget Director Sisk said this year the various Commissions and the City Council have a budget. The $1000 for public hearings was eliminated.from the budget. He requested a recommendation from the Committee. By law, this Committee does not need to advertise. Member Adams thought a lot of applications were going to be men- tioned in the Cupertino Courier. Member McLaren said that, for the area the Committee covers, why can't the Council afford the $1000 for advertising. Director Sisk said it was a question of how effective legal notices in the paper are. It was pretty much agreed that feature stories were more widely read. Member Adams was requested to provide recommendations.on how the Committee should advertise their applications.
