declared that the applicant submitted a letter requesting withdrawal
of V-300 and stating that application would be ~de for a sign of
another size.
Conunissioner Johnson pointed out that the applicant plans to use the
total sign area allowed for the eBtire area.
Chairman Norton asked if there is a way"~to prevent the first tenant
in an area from asking for the whole sign area.
The Secretary explained that a request of that nature could be refused.
Chairman Norton stated that since the new proposal would be a sign for
the entire shopping center it should be reviewed with this in mind.

(from inside his home) when they were there for the on~site inspection.
Con~issioner Johnson read the Variance Committee Report of 24 July 1967
recommending that V-301 be denied.

Plannin~ Conm~ission .Minutes of 24 July ].967 - Continued
II. E. V-301 - Continued
I.~-. Becker e}:plained that there had been a automobile accident
in ~'k'. Rigley's family; therefore, he had been unable to be
present for the on-site inspection as scheduled.'
Commissioner Johnson stated that in another six (6) to eight (8)
months the fire station would not be visible from the Becker home
due to e}-'tensive screening and shrubbery which has been planted by
the fire station.
I~'~. Becker advised that he would be happy to remove the proposed
fence at such time as the screening grows high enough to give his
family the proper fencing.
Commissioner McFali advised that in most new homes, unless planting
is accomplished in advance, the o~^~er has similar problems with regard
to privacy and they are allowed no more than the sLx foot fence.
M~. Rigley was present and stated it was important to go into the
house and observe the view from there to understand why this Variance
is necessary.
Chairman Norton e={plained that 1) Variances are granted reluctantly
and sparingly and 2) even if the situation described by the applicant
exists there is still the n~tter of deciding if there is enough of a
reason to grant a Variance.
Cormn~issioner McFail stated that a 1.ot of new home-o~.a~ers would find
a higher fence desirable but the Variance Com~nittee was unable to
see any justification for a Variance in the case of V-301.
~{r. Rigley informed that an appeal would be filed with the City
Council giving a detailed explanation of this request.'
Com~.~issioner Kasner (8:25 P~M.) moved, seconded by Commissior:er
McFall that the public hearing on V-301 be closed; motion carried
unan imou sly.
Commissioner Johnson moved, seconded by Commissioner McFall, that
the report of the Variance Com.mittee of 24 July 1967 be approved
subject to deletion of all the words after the word denied in
paragraph 4 of page 2 and that the Variance be denied since the
findings required by Section 17.6 of Zoning Ordinance cannot be
made; motion carried unanimously,

II. F. PROFE'SSiONAL VILLAGE OF SARATOGA - Saratoga Avenue - informa]. Hearing -
Request for Modification of Condition
of Change of Zoning - Continued from
!0 july 1967
The Chairman opened the discussion on this nmtter by inquiring if there
was anything new in the file. The Secretary stated there was a letter
in the file explaining 1) the applicant's request 2) the need for
flexibility in design 3) the method of development and requesting.pre-
liminary design approval as soon as possible.
Commissioner McFall advised that a report, relative.to this'matter, had
not been prepared earlier, because the'Shbdivision Committee wanted to
assure itself that' the structur~to be erected on this property would
meet the conditions and would be pleasing in design.
The' Secretary read the Staff Report of 24 July 1967 ~ecom~ending that
Condition "2.", Exhibit "A" of Ordinance NS-3-ZC-7 be modified (on the
advice of the City'Attorney) and.':requesting'.a..~site.ptan showing the
number, size, location, and elevations of all proposed buildings.
Chairman Norton wanted to know if there was a deadline for filing the
aforementioned map. ..
The Secretary answered that it was intended that it be filed prior to
reco~T~ending to the City Council that Condition"2" be modified.
Commissioner O'Rorke suggested that the applicant submit a Master Plan
showing how the procedure for development of this parcel would be handled.
Dr. Abrams stated that he. felt the letter he submitted contained all the
details necessary and requested some help in determining what specifically
was desired in the Master Plan requested.
Commissioner Kasner explained that a detailed ~ster Plan showing the items
listed in the Staff Report would b~ acceptable.
Commissioner O'Rorke advised that the plans submitted tended to introduce
the subject development rather thaD explain the proposal in detail.
Commissioner McFall declared that the conditions in'question were imposed'
with the Medical Village in mind and should now be separated from the
Professional Village.
Commissioner Crisp stated that if the subject report is recon~ended to the
City Council.as the action of the Planning Commission then a supplementary
.report should be prepared specifically stating what additional requirements
were necessary prior to the Preliminary Design Approval.
Chairman Norton inquired if Preliminary Design Approval would be a sufficient
basis to forward this matter to. the City Council to grant the modification of
Condition "2".
Commissioner O'Rorke answered that' it would be satisfactory.
-~-
F. PROFESSIONAL VILLAGE OF SARATOGA - Continued
Con~nissioner Crisp again stressed that, he felt, a report (telling
exactly what the Con~nission wanted) should be sent to the City Council.
Chairman Norton stated that, perhaps, the Subdivision Com~ittee and
Staff could ~rite a supplementary report to the Staff Report of 24 July
1967 and the applicant could submit a Master Plan rand after that Prelim-
inary Design Approval 'could be granted.
Dr. Abrams stated that 1) he would like to find out the feelings of
the Co~ission on ~ny things 2) he felt that some members of the
Co~ission thought that he had deceived them and acted in bad faith
3) some bad feeling had resulted with regard to age limitation in
the Saratoga Green development.
Chair~n Norton stated that, he thought, the age limitation was a
good idea but could not be ~itten into the report because of financial
reasons.
CoPm~issioner McFall stated that 1) there had been some concern, on his
part, about the aDse~ce of any mention of age limitation in the report
2) he did not fully understana why it ~s not ~itten into the report
3) he felt Saratoga Green would best be developed as a wholly adult
co~unity 4) after discussing. this with Dr. Abrams it is now clear to
why the age limitation ~s omitted from the report and 5) the realization
of this has not influenced any other decision made in the past.
CoF~issioner Johnson stated that !) a vote was taken on the subject
report when it was before the Planning Comm~ission for action and the
vote was favorable and 2) the members of the Commission are all entitled
to their personal opinions even though they ~y not vote accordingly.
Commissioner Kasner declared that according to the Citizen's Committee
Report a large number of people in the community are concerned about
un-planned developments and we are just being consistent in asking the '
applicant to submit a ~ster Plan showing type of development thus
showing the citizens that the Planning Commission is concer. ned about
the type of planning for large parcels.
Dr. Abrams requested 1) correction of the condition in error 2) some
firm direction as to what it was the Commission wanted in a ~ster Plan.
'He then stated 1) that he could not produce a ~p with definite plans
for each building that Would eventually exist on the property 2) he
could produce a pretty picture but he was afraid that when he was ready
with a per~nent plan (which would undoubtedly be different) the Commission
would say he was inconsistent.
Chairmn Norton agreed that if Dr. Abrams decided to change his plans,
after submitting them, he would have to come before the Commission and
.request the change.
F. PROFESSIONAL VILLAGE OF SAI~TOGA - Continued
Commissioner O'Rorke advised that 1) a I,~ster Plan (of the type
requested in this case) have been required before on pieces of
property this size 2) the pretty pictures (mentioned by Dr. Abrams)
help the Conmission to reach decisions and 3) perhaps, the Planning
Commission should ask that Dr. Abrams bring in what he thinks is
the best plan.
Commissioner Crisp asked Dr. Abrams if he intended to bring in plans
for the proposed apartment building one at a time or will a Master
Plan be availabe.
Dr. Abrams 1) answered that it would not be wise to plan for one
building at a time because of,financial reasons and 2) advised
that the design of the apartment buildings would repeat themselves.
The Secretary stated that a }~ster Plan had been submitted by
Dr. Abrams.
Commissioner O'Rorke stated that the Design Review 'Committee did not
have an opportunity to study the submitted Master Plan very closely
but from a brief observation it appeared that the plan was very meager.
Commissioner Crisp stated he would be willing to send the recomanendation
of the Staff Report of 24 July 1967 to the City Council with a supplementary
statement listing the information desired on a ~ster Plan providing that
Dr. Abrams submit a Master Plan prior to receiving Design Review Approval.
Chairman Norton at this point directed that the discussion on the Professional
· Village of Saratoga be terminated.
Commissioner McFall moved that the Staff Report of 24 July 1967 be approved
and the request' for modification of Condition "2" be approved subject to
1) the condition stated in report and 2) the Staff and Subdivision Committee
preparing a supplement to the Staff Report of 24 July 1967 explaining the
nature of the conditions desired.
After further discussion, Commissioner McFali requested that the afore-
mentioned motion be rescinded.
Chairman Norton outlined a proposed motion and on that basis Commissioner
McFall moved, seconded by Commissioner O'Rorke that:
1) the ~taff Report of 24 july 1967 be approved
and that the Planning Commission recommend to
the City Council that the. modification of
Condition "2" be granted subject to the condi-
