SIGNS. INC.):
Requesting approval of a new sign program for an existing bank/office building
located at the southeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Finch Avenue.
19300 Stevens Creek Boulevard.
ENCLOSURES:
1. Sheets 1 and 2 of drawings by Mina -Tree Signs Incorporated, Revised 8/30/88
2. Model Resolution
COMMENTS:
A. This item was continued from the meeting of August 22, 1088. ASAC directed
the applicant to make the following modifications to the proposal:
1. The ground sign shall be six to eight feet in height with a maximum size of 50
square feet
2. The ground sign post material shall match the bank building
3. The building -mounted sign shall use ten -inch gold letters to match the
• existing sign program.
B. Applicant revised application complies with ASAC's direction. Staff identifies
three remaining issues:
1. Applicant proposes two building mounted Wells Fargo signs. Sign
Ordinance allows one sign. This issue was discussed at the last meeting but
no consensus was reached.
2. If the west -facing building -mounted sign is allowed, staff suggests that the
typeface be changed to be consistent with the existing sign program.
3. The ground sign height is eight feet. Staff believes that the 2'-8" tall base is
unnecessary given the sign's highly visible location. Staff suggests that the
sign base be reduced to one foot high.
RECOMMENDATION
A. Staff recommends that one building -mounted sign be allowed and the ground
sign base height be reduced as discussed -above. Staff recommends approval of
Application ASAC 51,806.1 per the findings and conditions contained within the,
enclosed model resolution.
B. The decision of ASAC is final unless appealed.

ENCLOSURE:

2. Application Exhibits - 08/22/88
3. Exhibit B 1 st Rev. of 7-U-87
COMMENTS:
1. ASAC review of structural forms and materials required under project zoning and
use permit conditions (See Clerk's Letter, Condition 19)
2. Condition 19(D) requires approval of a comprehensive landscape plan, and
treatment of the downslope retaining wall -- materials will be presented verbally at
® the meeting.
3. Committee must determine if use of hard textured surface materials exceed the
intent of Condition 19 (A) (1). Designer indicates that surface detailing of
individual elevation sketches is incomplete vis-a-vis materials specifications; See
comprehensive W. elevation drawing for typical proportioning of wood/stucco
treatments.
4. Building mass and height may appear too great from McClellan Road. While the
stepped building configurations are roughly similar to the concept presented at
the Use Permit stage (Exhibit B 1st Rev.), the visual impact of the buildings and
retaining wall may overwhelm the streetscape.
