®� The proposed antenna will be used to transmit information to a stationary
satellite. A rear parking lot location would be less visible to the public;
however, the satellite would not be within the line of sight of the
antenna due to the building's interference. The Committee accepted that
the proposed location was necessary.
Concerns centered around awkward vehicular circulation and the unsightly
nature of the chain link fence. Conditions of approval were devised to
resolve these problems.
Vice Chairman Ripplinger requested comments from the audience; there were
none forthcoming.
Moved by Member Rooker, with a second by Member Morrison to recommend
approval of Application HC-51,088.5 subject to conditions contained in

4. Application IIC-51,342.3 - Winchell's Donuts requesting an exception to the
established sign program for a shopping center to allow a different background
color and an increased sign height. Said property is located at the south-
west corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and East Estates Drive in a CG (General
Commercial) zoning district.
Presentation: Dave,White, Heath and Company; Bill Amadore, Winchell's
Vice Chairman Ripplinger asked the applicants to justify the proposed sign
exception. It was answered that the request was an economic move only.
The proposed sign colors and height are standard Winchell's design, and
a form already exists to make such a sign. Other colors and heights would
require creation of a new form.
The Committee determined that the stated reasons of justification were not
consistent with the necessary sign exception criteria specified by ordinance.
The applicants had not demonstrated that hardships would be imposed by
utilizing the sign program criteria established for this shopping center.
The established sign program provided satisfactory identity to all tenants.
Further, Winchell's letter style could be retained. The Committee concurred
with staff's report. It was noted that -the Winchell's store at the
McClellan Square Shopping Center conformed with the sign program for that
center. It was also noted that Winchell's utilized white and brown drinking/
® eating utensils.

5. Application HC-51`,476.1 - George Buck requesting approval of site, architecture,
landscaping, lighting and signing for an office building to be located at the
northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Stevens Creek Boulevard, in a
P (Planned Development) zoning district.
Presentation: George Buck
Staff noted that the subject intersection represented a gateway to Monta
Vista. The development of this intersection must be reviewed with great
care.
Member Rooker believed that the original building has some merit, and that
the proposed remodel represents a poor design attempt. Other Committee Members
agreed with this opinion.
Substantial concerns were also expressed regarding the proposed landscape
plan and sign requests. Member Ripplinger expresssed a concern regarding
the exposed building soffit lighting. Mr. Buck was not able to define the
extent of roof -mounted equipment that would be necessary for his office
building. If the building code allows, it was suggested that the trash
bin should be enclosed within the building. A side entrance was suggested
to provide additional street frontage planting space.
Vice Chairman Ripplinger requested comments from the audience; there were
none forthcoming.
Mr. Buck was advised of procedural options available to him. He requested
a continuance to restudy his application. The Committee unanimously agreed
to continue Application HC-51,476.1 to a date uncertain.
