cant explaining the physical location and'shape of her property.

of her lot (including two flights of stairs.)
2) The fr'ont of the lot contains old Prune Trees and
weeds (5 & 6 feet high) that grow rapidly~ .'· '.
3) It would seem better to have a house on this property
rather than a decaying orchard and
4)· The fact that the one portion of the property is before
the bend of Saratoga Hills Road and the other·' ~ortion
around the bend almost makes it two different properties.
Commissioner Crisp read the report of the Variance Committee of 25 September
1967, reco~nending disapproval of the subject request and stating that this
application might properly have been submitted in the form of an application
for Change of Zoning.

II. A. V-304 - Continued
Mr. Ole Berzins, Creegan and D'Angelo, representing the applicant, advised
that his understanding had been that an application for Variance was sufficient
to cover the request made by Miss Gaudreau rather than an application for re-
zoning.
Chairman Norton advised that 1) a Variance consists of a minor adjustment
2) 'this matter (V-304) would, by the consensus of the Commission, require a
Change of Zoning application and 3) even though a Change of Zoning procedure
is recommended by the Commission, the recommendation is not to be interpreted
as an assurance that it will be granted.

ing relative to V-304; motion carried unanimously and-the hearing was closed

Committee Report of 25 September 1967, relative to V-304, be adopted and the

Chairman Norton relayed a phone call from Mrs. Maude Haynes, 19242 Panorama
Drive, who stated that 1) she had observed the presence of three (3) and
sometimes four (4) horses on Mr. King's property 2) she had found the odor,
caused by the horse, objectionable and 3) she hopedlthe Ordinance would be
strictly enforced on this matter. He then advised that the people who .objected
to the granting of this Use Permit o~iginally were not available for comment
because of illness and death.
Mr. King inquired why, since the butchering and feeding of animals is permitted"
in the City, the regulations regarding horses were so strict.
Chairman Norton stated that 1) this news came as quite a surprise since the
Planning COmmission was unaware that such an activity is being conducted in
Saratoga and 2) some action will be taken to eliminate this operation unless
it is found to a legal non-conforming use in which case nothing can be done.
Dr. Goddard, 19140 Panorama Drive, stated that he was interested ~n the fact
that some neighbors found their olfactory senses affected expecially since he
lived so closeL to Mr. King and had never smelled any odor caused by the horses.
The Secretary read the Staff Report of 25 September 1967, recormnending 1) con-
tinuance of UP-91 to allow time for further consideration and 2) suspension
of the Use Permit remain in effect.
Commissioner McFall 1) advised that the forth coming Horse Ordinance may
have some effect on this matter (UP-91) and 2) recommended, on the advice
of the City Attorney,.that this matter be continued.
Chairman Norton, in answer to an inquiry fromDr. Goddard, explained the rules
related to 4-H Projects as presented in Amendment 3.3 of Ordinance NS-3.

the property is such that very little is actually level enough to be used for
the construction of a building 2) the neighbors have a wide yard and would
not be affected by the proposed Variance 3) Mr. Isaacs, adjoining property
owner, has offered to mail a letter stating that he is in favor of 'the grant-
ing of the proposed Variance and 4) due to the narrow width of the subject'
lot it is necessar~ to build a one and one-half (i~) story home in order to.
have a house of some substantial size on the property which was a costly
investment for Dr. Townsend.
No one else present wished to comment.
Commissioner Crisp, on behalf of the Variance Committee made an appointment

previously are now boarded out on property located on Pierce Road.

Plannin$ Commission Minutes - 25 September 1967 - Continued
II. H. UP-140 - Continued
Co~m~issioner Crisp stated it was understood at the time the applicant
was advised that he was in violation of the Ordinance that all the horses
would be.removed from the property until the applicant obtained a Use Permit.
Ihstead~ -'the existing corral still remains illegal and one horse has
remained on the property.
~., Angus stated that if the requested Use Permit is granted he intends
to remodel the existing corral to meet the Zoning requirements.
}~. Goddard 1) stated that some years ago the citizens of Saratoga voted
to incorporate in order to prevent the area from developing like San jose
and losing all its rural atmosphere and .2) urged th.~ Planning Commission
to grant the Use Permit requested by }~. Angus.
The Secretary read the Staff Report of 25 September 1967 recommending that
this matter be continued indefinitely until all horses are eliminated from
the property and the non-conforming corral is eliminated or modified to
comply with the Zoning Ordinance NS-3.
}~. Angus inquired if the Planning Com~mission could assure him that a Use
Permit would be granted after he complied with the conditions stated in
the Staff Report.
.Chairman Norton stated that if t~e Subdivision Committee found no other
objection Mr. Angus could be reasonable.sure'.that. a Use Permit will be
granted.
Commissioner McFall stated that if the horse were removed and the corral
modified to meet the Zoning requirements the proposed, Use Permit would
receive favorable consideration.
Chairman Norton explained that it is not the Planning Co~n~ission's desire
to prolong this Use Permit but the applicant has ignored the Ordinance
frequently; therefore, compliance is necessary prior to the issuance of
a Use Permit.
Mrs. Angus 1) asked if the Ordinance is to be followed by everyone or is
it tampered with for some and not others 2) stated she had witnessed Variances
denied by the Planning Com~mission which caused lots to become useless to the.
owner 3) advised that when moving to Saratoga it was with the thought that
they were moving to a country atomsphere 4) declared that a plan has ~een
presented showing the proposed corral and she could see no reason for sub-
mitting another 5) explained that it was costing a substantial amount of
money to board two (2) horses and if the remaining horse is moveo to another
location and the Use Permit is delayed further the cost will increase.
Cha'irman Norton informed the applicant that it was possible to meet with the
Subdivision Committee to discuss this matter by calling the Planning Director
and arranging an appointment.
Commissioner McFa!l recommended that 1 ) this matter be continued to the next
regular meeting 2) the additional horse be removed from the subject property
until the USe Permit is g'ranted and 3) new plans be submitted for the corral
and stable.
In view of the foregoing, Chairman Norton (8:56 P.M.) closed the hearing for
the evening and directed that UP-140 be continued to the next regular meeting
and referred same to the Subdivision Committee for study and a report.

II. AGENCY OR CO'F'DiITTEE RE ANi}!-'\i,S'
Chairman Norton statec! that !) a seperate agency or co~mnittee should be
formed to handle situations dealing with violations regarding animals
2) it is too time consuming to bring these items before the Planning
'Conm~issioner for discussion just because the City is trying to maintain
low administrative costs and 3) he did not feel it was the duty of the
Planning Commissioners to act in the role of Pound Men.
I. UP-141 - Oiiver and Alameda, Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road - Request for Use
Permit for Mortuary
Public Hearing on UP-i41 was opened at 7:58 P.M. The Secretary stated
that the Notices of Hearing had been mailed and briefly reviewed this
application.
Dr. Oliver and his brother-in-law, Mr. Durham, were present to answer
questions.
~'. and i~s. Gordon Smith, Ted Avenue, ~.ere present and offered the follow-
ing comments 1) it was their understanding that Mr. Livingston, Planning'
Consu!tant, was studying this area to see what type of business would be
appropriate for7 this location 2) this application should be delleyed until
the result-s onL: Mr. Livingston's findings are completed 3) they would like
to feel that this area is part of Saratoga (rather than an orphan section)
especially since it is one of the mair[ entrances to the City.
Chairn~n Norton explained that this use (Mortuary Facility) has already
been added to the list of Conditional Uses for this area and will most
probably not be changed by bit'. Livingston.
Mr. Smith stated that this would veery likely up-grade the area but expressed
concern that it might not be in line with the other establishments in the
vicinity and that it would add to the e.~:isting traffic problems. He then
advised that l) two (2) year.'.; afro the people in this neighborhood requested
a left band turn lane at the intersection of Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and
Seagull Way since the one-lane provided would not be adequate in an emergency.
Conunissioner Johnson stated that normally services of this type (Mortuary)
are not held at peak traffic hours and there is usually police protection
provided. He further stated that cars generally come in groups of two or
three; therefore, causing very little additional traffic.
~vi-. Durham advised that he had a very personal interest in this facility
since he hoped to be in the position of Supervisor-~ianager if and when the
-Mortuary is completed. He further advised" that i) the services were not
held at peak hours 2) a police escort is always provided and 3) if the
number Of cars exceed a specified amount an additional escort is provided.
M~s. Smith stated i) she was concerned with the traffic problem in this
district 2) it was gratifying to see that the funeral homes provided the
police protection and 3) that she felt that the people in this neighbor-
hood should be provideo] with the same protection for their safety by adding
the additional lane requested by the residents.
The Secretary stated some money .is available for improvement of this road
but the State Highway Department would have to be contacted regarding the
additic~n of a ].eft turn lane.
Chairnmn Norton advised that since it is not a City Street the State High-
way Department must authorize all alterations and then directed the Secretary
to bring the n~ztter of a left hand turn lane l(at this intersection) to the
attention of the City Council..
