it. However, he voted in favor of the application due to its 1976 approval
by the City Council.
3. Application HC-51,032.21 - P. J. Mulligan's -;Architectural approval to add an
awning to the front of an existing building',. The subject property'is located
on the northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Blaney Avenue.
Presentation: Louie Feinstin representing P.iJ. Mulligan's.
Staff recommended that approval be conditioneid on the installation of landscaping
improvements consistent with the Stevens Creek Boulevard sidewalk plan. The
Committee felt that such a condition was not appropriate because:
- The center is ready for a major overhaul.
- The property owner, not the tenant, is responsible for major improvements.
- P. J. Mulligan's has improved the center; already.
The Committee suggested that the applicant landscape the planter area in front of
his establishment only.
The Committee also requested that the fencealong the east property line be
replaced.
Although the ASAC liked the idea of"an awning, they did not like -the particular
awning proposed. The item was continued so that'P. J. Mulligan's can explore
alternative awnings/improvements.

The Committee made the following comments:
I �
- The building's contemporary direction is appropriate.
- The building's color will be an important key to help relate the building to its'
surroundings. (Particularly Coast Federal Savings). The ASAC suggested that the
applicant consider modifying the glass to a brown or mauve to match the Coast
Federal Savings Building.
- Rich landscaping with plants cascading from the second floor -and grass berming
on the street frontage is recommended.' The Vallco Financial Center on Stevens
Creek Boulevard and Wolfe Road is an example of good landscaping.
- Landscaping and paving details will be important to help pedestrians relate to
` the building.
