CONTINUED ITEM:
1. Application HC-51,015.818 - Fotomat Corporation - Site, architecture, landscaping
and signing for a 32 sq. ft. kiosk to be used for a photo walk-up
service. The proposed location is in the parking lot of the Crossroads Center,
southeast of the intersection of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Bandley Drive.
Presentation: Cecil Green, Peggy De Vasher, and Fred Sharkey, representing Fotomat
Corporation. R. D. Koenitzer, resident (10060 Phar Lap Drive) and Planning
Commissioner.
® Member Rooker felt the simple building lines and extensive landscaping was attractive.
Staff suggested the addition of a heavy wood trellis to increase the kiosk's
perceived bulk. The Committee determined that this would be inappropriate due to
the kiosk's clean lines and the lack of wood elsewhere.
R. D. Koenitzer expressed disapproval for the project. He felt that although
this kiosk looked better than others, it was still too small to stand by itself
in the middle of a parking lot. He felt it would look like a "little shack".
Staff indicated that applicant was allowed one sign per Sign Ordinance No. 746
and that approval of any additional signs would require an exception. The ASAC
felt two signs were needed to provide symmetry. The signs may be illuminated.
The Committee approved (3-0) the application per ASAC Resolution No. 1019.
Member Morrison abstained.

an office building consisting of 11,800 sq. Ift. The subjectproperty is located
on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, approximately 400 ft. east of North
De Anza Boulevard.
Presentation: Paul McAllister and Brien Wilson.
The Committee felt the building was a very attractive, traditionally -styled
building. Chairman Rooker noted the importance of wood elements on railing,
windows, rafters, etc. He also noted that colors were consistent with the building
to the west. It was observed that several contemporary buildings have been
proposed in this area.
I
Concern was expressed regarding traffic conflicts on the driveway west of the t
building. This driveway is used by both St!. Joseph's School and the existing
office structure. Several members felt the isix parking spaces perpendicular to
the driveway would pose a hazard due to cars backing out of these spaces into
the path of other cars. Other members felt the applicant's building would not
aggrevate the existing situation.
A low -profile monument sign was recommended'by the Committee.
