M~. I.,.~eeler, 20800 Prospect Road, stated that just because some other sUbdivider did not provide unc]erground utilities is real].y no reason for ~.~.

Chairman Lively di_r_.ected the'matter continued as requested. Bo A_-_363 - West Valley Jr. College, Fruitvale and Allendale Avenues - Final Design Review - Fine Arts and Humanities Building Continued from 22 Febr_u~ry 1971 Commissioner Metcalf read the Design Reviex,~ Commiteee Report dated 8 March 1971 relative to A-363 recommending that design approval for the fine-arts 'and humanities [buildings be denied. CoFznissioner Martin. explained that 1) he did 'not agree with some parts of the report read by Commissioner Metcalf, but he does wish to see reduced the height of the proposed building 2) be visited Foothill College to review the looks and' size of their auditorium and based on this observation he disagrees with the statement in the report relative to v{sual impact and 3) there are buildings within the vicinity of the proposed structure that greater affect the visual impact of the area. Commissioner Smith raised the question of a further ordinance deviation by 'the fact that the scenery loft covers more than 10% of the total building area; therefore, the extra 25-feet in height allotted for the scenery ].oft cannot be made available in this case. Commissioner Metcalf stated he is a~;are of that provision of the ordinance; ho~,;ever, he felt that could be overcome depending upon how the 10% is applied either 1) against just the auditorium building or 2) against the total building-complex. 'The Design Review CoFanittee decided in favor of the latter. Dean Arnold, representing the college, stated that 1) the people involved developed the educational program for the college and its activites 2) after they wer~ developed and approved by the Board they ~:ere · given to the architect to uge as a guide to design a building to meet those requirements 3) as a result the proposed building exceeds the City height-limitation 4) to lower a portion of the building would affect a reaction throughout the entire building and would cause the building to be inoperable for the necessary education-environment 4) to redesign the building would cause a delay .of three (3) to four (4) months and the college would lose State funding '5) he hoped this matter could be settled with a variance or by some o~her measure; so, the building can be put out to bid and the~ program can be carried on as prescribed. Chairman Lively stated it is. unfortunate ~he college dealt with its departments and their architect but not with the City; so, now there is a probl. em and the college is not willing to lower the building or make other design arrangements. Commissioner Metcalf explained that 1) he, also, ~..Tent to look at Foothill College and its scenery loft 2) the Foothill College scenery loft is about the same height as the one proposed for West Valley Jr. College; ho~¢ever, the auditorium has been designed off the face of a plateau, the auditoriun~ seating follows the slope of the hill and the scenery loft is dropped belox~ that 3) in other words. the architect took advant_~.ge of the contour of the land to cut dozen the apparent height of the scenery loft and 4) unfortunately, this has not been done for the subject application. ~ -5- Plannin~ COm:nission Minutes - 8 March 1971 - Continued IV. B. A-363 - Continued Co.~m~aissioner Metcalf moved, se. conded by Con~missioner I,~rtin, that the Staff Report dated 8 March 1971 be adopted and final design approval for the Fine Arts and Humanities Building be denied on the basis the central structure exceeds the maximum'height permitted by Zoning Ordinance NS-3; motion carried unanimously.

Bernie Turgeon stated that in reference to condition (b) as stated in the subject report he x.~ould request that, if necessary, because of the difficulty in locating the feeder lines, he be allox~ed to place two (2) air-conditioning units on the .ground in a sound-proof enclosure. He further stated two (2) units have already been roof-mounted. Commissioner Metcalf stated that if ~. Turgeon does find difficulty '~.Tith the roof-mounted units at a later date he resubmit the aforementioned request for consideration by the Design Review Committee; otherwise, the condition (b) will remain as presently stated in the subject report. Co~raissioner Metcalf then reconmended that paragraph 2. . .line 5. . . of the subject Staff Report be amended as follows: delete the ~.7ord "With" and insert the ~ords "have been employed". . . and in line 6. . .delete "these techniques would" and insert the ~ord "ive" "to" between the x~ords "landscaping" and g . Conmissioner Metcalf moved, seconded by Con~nissioner Martin, that the Staff Report dated 8 1.~rch 1971 be adopted, as amended, and that final design approval be granted as sho~,~n on Exhibits "B" "C" "D" and "E" , , and subject to the conditions stated in said report; motion carried unanimous ly. A. A-362 - M. E. Frazier, Cox and saratoga Avenues - Preliminary Design Review - Office Buildin~ - Continued from 22 February 1971 This item ~.~as postponed to this portion of the agenda to await the arrival of the applicant~s representatives. ~' Chairman Lively explained that at the last Planning Connnission meeting everyone ~.~ishing to discuss this matter was encouraged to make an appoint- ment ~.~ith the Design Revie~ Committee. Commissioner Metcalf explained that 1) the Design Revie~ C~nmittee met . with the applicant, Dr. Abrams, representatives from the medical center, and representatives from different Homeo~ers Associations. 2) there were objections voiced relative to' the drive~y access on Saratoga and Cox Avenues and the internal-parking plan 3) the statement ~as made by representatives of the medical center that they would be happy to ~,7ork with the applicant to provide a different access or easements throughout the medical village and the subject parcel so that the direct access on Saratoga and Cox Avenues ~,~ould not be req~ired and 4) the Design Review Cox~nittee left it' with the applicant and the representatives of the n~edic~l 'village to '~,zork out some type of agreement the'resUlt of which ~cas to be made knox.m at this meeting~ The Secretary recommended that a recess be called at this time to await the arrival of the applicant"s attorney. -6- Planning Commission M]inutes - 8 March ].971 - Continued RECESS AND RECONVENE IV. A. A-362 - Continued Mr. Tenenbaum, attorney for the applicant, stated that the applicant has submitted all the require'd plans and the Staff Report recommends preliminary design approval be granted. Mr. Joseph Sheredy, 19095 Cox Avenue stated that 1) m~nny years ago x.~hen the medical village ~,ms first approved the neighborhood ~as v.ery concerned and after numerous hearings the neighborhood accepted, with some confidence, the idea that the m.?dical village · ~ouid be developed x:,ith the interest of the ne.ighborhood in mind 2) the requirements imposed on the medical. village should be imposed on this piece of property in order to maintain the character of the area 3) the residents of this area have al~,.~ays been assured there w~d.ld nbt "be ingress or egress on to Saratoga or Co:--. from this property 4) it would be dangerous to allo~.~ such a traffic pattern and it should be avoided by any means possible 5) adequate parking must be provided and under the proposed plan it would hardly seem possible to provide sufficient parking for the employees much less the clientele ~.ind 6) there continues to be a parking problem ~..~ith the medical village clients parking in front of the neighborhood homes (even though the doctors do everything to discourage same) and if this plan is approved as proposed Cox Avenue will become a permanent parking-lot causing a disagreeable and dangerous situation. Mr. Bob Menso~ President of the Saratoga Park Woods tlomeox,n~ers Association~ stated that 1) his association has had representation at most of the meetings regarding the subject development of this property 2) the main problems concerning the }lomeox,mers Association is the parking and ingress-and egress-plans 3) there are a lovely group of homes in this area and x.~e do not ~.~nt it to become a commercial area 4) ~.Te ~nt to make sure thai: the architectural design fits in xvith the medical village, but the size of the proposed building is too large to fit in with the medical village buildings and the parking facilities are less per square foot than those of the medical village and 5) it may be a good idea to continue this matter and refer it to the Design Review Committee to allow time for further discussion. Mr. Diridon, President of the Brookview Homeo~:~ners Association, stated that if the building and layout is approved, as proposed, an intolerable safety hazard will result and the entire development will detract from the appear- ance of the neighborhood. Dr. ~rcus Bitter, one of the o~.nLers of the medical village, stated that · the representatives of the mec!ical village did come up ~,,'ith a proposal for ·access and the applicant's attorney has been supplied with a copy of this proposal. Mr. Tenenbaum stated it is felt that 1) the plan proposed by the representatives of medical village is unacceptable ·since it is unfunctional and ~,;ill create heavier traffic x~.~ithin the lot itself 2) the plan (as proposed by the appliC.a__n.t)_' provides up to 50% more·· pa~kin~ 'than _~,j~at'iS_..l~e'~ir'~.d_._~y the_ .or_~_l.inance and 3) .. it ~.s tILe applicant's intent to provide an attractive plan for this corner which will, incidentally, cost considerably more than any other building in tile area. He further stated that if some agreement is not reached the matter could be tied up in arbitration for many years. Dr. Bitter stated that it is~ not his intent to tie the matter up in arbii:ration since he only wi,~hes to see a fair and equitable assessment and it is felt that the proposed plan is incompatible with the original intent for the aesthetic character of this neighborhood. -7- Planning Comn:ission Minutes - 8 March,. 1971 - Conti~:ued IV. A. A-362 - Continued Dr. Walter Powers, 19079 Cox Avenue, stated that he just wished to emphasize the Homeox.:ners Associations_-' interest in the proper development of this property and the objections to th6 ingress-and egress-pattern as proposed by the applicant. Y~. Fred Styles, 18990 Saratoga Glen Place, stated that 1) at the Design Review Committee meeting it ~:,as suggested that the property o~,.~ers and representatives of the medical village work together to arrange an agreeable ingress and egress and 2) no agreement has been reac~ed to date; however, the applicant did agree to eliminate the lobby.-like entrance. Dr. O'Neil stated 1) he x%~as one of the first two (2) people to build in the medical village 2) the restrictions were excessive and he thought at the time that the restrictions on any adjacent buildings· would be of similar quality .and 3) the landscaping in the medical village shields the parking areas and the requirement should~ also, be imposed on the proposed building. Commissioner Metcalf stated that there Seem· to be two (2) different problems relative to this development 1) the access to anti from Cox and Saratoga Avenues 2) the 'design of the building itself. He further sta~ed that he notes from a p.ast file that his predecessors on the Planning Commission had some 'doubts concerning the direct access to the subject plot·of ground and ~Tent on record at least once denying "P-A" (Professional-Administrative)' for this parcel. Chairman Lively stated that the "P A" (Professional-Administr~.tive) zoning has been established and the Planning Commission must now decide how to make it compatible with the surrounding area. Commissioner Metcalf stated that one other avenue of approach is open to the Commission and that is to submit these preliminary plans to the Architectural Advisory Commit'tee for review. Chairman Lively referred the matter back to the Design Review Committee with instructions to get an opinion from the Architectural Advisory· Committee and directed A-362 continued to the next regular meeting. V o CITY COUNCIL REPORT Commissioner Smith gave a summary. of items reviewed and action taken at the City Council meeting of 3 March 1971 with emphasis on items of particular interest to the Commission. VIo OLD BUSINESS A. UP-189 - James R. Davi, Sousa Lane - Request for Extension - Continued from 22 Februa~ 1971 ·· The Secretary explained that the applicant's plans are the same as originally drax.a~ up several years ago except that they have been somewhat · updated. # Mr. Davi, the applicant, explained that the mortgage market has opened up and, hopefully, within the nekt three (3) or four (4) weeks further progress can be made on this application. Co~n~issioner Marshall stated that the Staff Report indicates there have been numerious extensions for this Use Pertnit. Chairman Lively stated that the State of California requires that the appiicant show some aboveiground construction by 1 July 1971. -8' VI. A. UP-189 - Continued Coxmmissioner Kraus explained that this application has been before the Planning Commission for the past several years and the Planning Cormmission recommended denial of the last extension; however, the applicant appealed to the City Council and they did grant the said extension. Commissioner Fagan pointed out that before acting on this request some consideration should be given to the need factor for convalescent ade ua homes since there seems to be a surplus or at least an q te number of these facilities. Chairman Lively proposed that the matter be continued off the agenda until I0 May 1971 to see if the applicant files for Design Review and Building Site Approval; thereby, indicating his intent to proceed with the application at this time. Commissioner Kraus stated he did not feel the matter should be granted a further extension, Commissioner 1.~rshall pointed .out that the subject Use Permit has been agreed to and approved and to .deny the extension at this time would be inconsistent. Commissioner Smith stated that, he felt, the request for extension should be denied (even if the City Council again overrules the decision of the Planning Com_n~ission)~ Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Conm~issioner Kraus, nthat the Staff Report dated 8 ~rch 1971, be adopted, and the subject request for extension for UP-189 be denied for the reasons stated in said report; motion carried with the following vote: AYES: Fagan, Kraus, Lively, Metcalf, and Smith. NOES: 1.~rshall ABSTAIN: Martin Commissioner Marshall stated he would like to go on r~cord and say that he voted"no"on the foregoing motion since the Planning Commission has been dealing with this applicant since 1965 and has approved the Use Permit for a convalescent home and it seems frivolous to deny an extension of the Use Permit now with only two and a half months to go before the State Permit expires.
