It was suggested that this application be withdrawn until such time as the Church was able to proceed with their proposals. Mr. Stephens agreed that this was a good idea.

Said restaurant is situated within the Orchard Valley Marketplace Center at the southeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Portal Avenue, in a P (Planned Development) zone. Presentation: George Britt, sign company representative. It was explained that at the time of submittal of this applica- tion, the applicants desired Green #2108. At the meeting, how- ever, the applicant requested ivory instead. The Committee felt that green was appropriate, for these reasons: compatibility with green building trim; sufficient distinction from brown walls; visible from Stevens Creek Boulevard:; lack of need for brilliant sign color. The large reputation of Houlihan's was discussed. It was determined that the phrase "and bar" was information not necessary to the identification of this restaurant. Some Committee /1 members believed that simply stating "Houlihan's" was sufficient. -2- Minutes of February 7, 1980 A.S.A.C.
