side ~Combining Zoning

the proposed model home sales office. The Secretary read the Staff
Report dated July 23, 1973 recommending that UP-226 be approved.
Commissioner Marshall inquired if the development at Cox and Saratoga
Avenue is s01d what will the two i(2) remaining tracts use for a model
home sales office.
The Secretary stated that when that event occurs it would be best to
review the sales-office permit.
Commissioner Marshall stated that the sales office Could be moved to the
appropriate subdivision at the time it is being sold.
Planning Commission Minutes - July 23~ 1973 - Continued
II. C. UP-226 - Continued
Mr. Mark Roberts, present to represent the applicant, explained that
the reason the model home has been proposed at the Cox Avenue-Saratoga
· J 'Avenue subdivision is because this will be one of the most difficult
tradts to sell. This ~developer has always'b~ cooperative in closing
out the sales office after the subdivision is sol'd out and the cost
has always been less than the $1500 bond amount required and he would
like to request that the bond amount be lowered.
The Secretary explained that this amount is a llttle high, but it was
arrived at on the basis of past experiences. It is true that this
developer has always been very cooperative in converting his model homes
back to their original state.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Martin, that the
public hearing relative to UP~226 be closed at 8:03 P.M.; motion
carried unanimously.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Belanger, that the

Requese for the Storage and Sales'of Building
Supplies and Garden Landscape Materials as a
Conditional Use In the "C-V" (Visitor-Commercial)
Zoning District - Continued from July 9~ 1973
The Secretary stated that it was!his understanding that the applicant
wished to withdraw this request for the time being; therefore, the
proceedings shouId be terminated,and the matter continued off the
agenda until further word is received from the applicant,and/or his
attorney.
Chairman Marshall so directed.
E. C-170 - Ben R. Shippen, Allendale Avenue - Request for Change of Zoning
from "R-i-40,000" (Single-Family Residential) to "R-I~10,000"
(Single-Family Residential)
The public hearing relative to C-170 was opened at 8:07 P.M. The Secretary stated
that the Notice of Hearing wa~ mailed.
Mr.'Gordon Martin of 18560 Allen4ale Avenue stated that 1) he is an
adjacent property owner 2) he iS in opposition to the proposed change
of zoning 3) one main attraction of this area was its open-space and
rural atmosphere and the proposed change of zoning would encroach upon
that and 4) a petition containing fifty eight (58) signatures has been
submitted in opposition to this applications.
Mr. Bill Haile of 18579 Ravenwood Drive stated that he supports one-acre
zoning for this area and strongly objects to the proposed change of zoning.
Dr. Darwin Barrett of 14050 Marilyn Lane stated he 'is opposed to the
proposed change of zoning since it would set a dangerous precedent. There
are other open-space areas along.Allendale Avenue and if this zoning
change is approved it will encourage other applications for rezoning
of these areas.
Mrs. Jean Laufman of 18591 Ravenwood Drive stated that she is opposed
to the change of zoning~application since she is against higher density
for this area. The approval in ~his request would result in more
traffic, pollution, noise, and additional enrollment in the schools.
The Secretary

Planning Commission Minutes - July 23, 1973 - Continued
II. E. C-170 Continued
The Secretary read ~th'e'f~rl~lng~communications all filed in opposition
to the proposed Ch~ge'of zoning%application:
1) A petition containing fifty-eight signatures.
2) A letter from Isabelle Bellicitti of 14161 Quito Road.
3) A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schibler of 13939
Quito Road.
4) A letter fromMr. and Mrs. Brandt Woodward of 18620
Ravenwood Drive. ~
Mr. Charles Rehling of 18531 Allendale Avenue stated that 1) about a
year ago the traffic situation became greatly increased on Allendale
and a signal was installed at either end and the proposed subdivision
of property would further increase the traffic load on Allendale and
2) ff there were more through streets to Fruitvale Avenue the situation
would be different. ~
Commissioner Smith noted that one fundamental thing must be kept in mind
relative to C-170 and that is whether or not this zoning change would
.i. constitute spot zoning. If it ~es then the request for change of zoning
mds6'be denied. The'Subdivision'Committee did review the map showing the
six (6) lots proposed for this sdbdivision and four (4) of those lots do
not meet City Ordinance requirements for the "R-l-10,000" zoning class-
ification.
Commissioner Martin stated that there should be some transition area there
and perhaps the applicant would be willing to go for half acre zoning.
Commissioner Marshall noted that.the subject property is bounded on
three (3) sides by '!·R-l-10,000" zoning.
Chairman M~rshall closed the hearing for the evening at 8:30 P.M., directed
the matter continued to the next regular meeting, and referred same to the
Subdivision Committee· for further study.
III. BUILDING SITES AND SUBDIVISIONS
A. SDR-1043 - Bernard Klien, Pierce Road - Building Site Approval - 1 Lot -
Continued from July 9~ 1973
The applicant's engineer was present and stated he had reviewed the
proposed conditions of approval listed in the Staff Report dated July 23,
1973 and expressed satisfaction with same.
The Secretary recommended that condition II-C. . .line 1. . .be amended
by changing "16" to read "18".
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Belanger, that the
Staff Report dated July 23, 1973 relative to SDR-1043 be adopted, as
amended, and that the tentative map (Exhibit "A-i", filed June 6, 1973)

Planning Commission Minutes - July 23~ 1973 ~ Continued
III. B. SDR-1047 - John McLaughlin - Continued
Commissioner Marshall explained:that the applicant would like the
access road to be narrower than=that called for in the report. The
applicant could accept the conditions at this time and then request
reconsideration of same at a later date°
The applicant's engineer stated ~hat he could not understand how the
Assistant Director of Public Works arrived at a 20-foot retaining wall
His (the engineer'!s) estimates show that only an 8-to-10-foot retaining
wall is necessary.
Commissioner Marshall stated that it is difficult to get sufficient
information from the map that was' submitted. He stated he was not aware
cross-sections had been made available and the ones he has seen do not
show anything.
The Secretary explained that there are cross sections available, but
not necessarily showing details of the retaining-wall and road-grade.
Commissioner Marshall explained that the Assistant Director of Public.
Works was present at the Subdivision Committee meeting when this matter
was discussed and'in his judgement the retaining wall should be 20-feet
in height.
Commissioner Smith explained thatl this matter was carefully discussed with
the applicant and it was clearly explained to him (the applicant) what
would be allowed in connection with tree removal and retaining-wall require-
ments that will be necessary to hold the access road in place. If the
applicant is unhappy with the proposed conditions reconsideration can be
requested and if that fails the matter can be appealed to the City Council.
To continued the matter at this t~me would serve no real purpose unless
some further information is provided that will made a significant difference.
There has been reference made to a deed that was drafted prior to the
Cit '
y s incorporation that stated tree removal would be permitted for access
but this document has not been made available; therefore, the condition
must'remain intact as presently stated in the Staff Report.
Mr. McLaughlin inquired if it is accurate to state that his engineer
submitted information that was not reviewed by the Staff?
The Secretary explained that it was reviewed by the Staff and if the
estimate for the retaining wall is disputed then the applicant could
resolve that with the Director of Public Works.
Commissioner Belanger ~tated that she did not understand why a situation
is being created for a potential 10-to-20-foot retaining wall - are we
,sure this is desirable and really what the City wants?
The Secretary explained that the wall could be made subject to Design
Review Approval and h'e recommended that condition "R" be added to the
Staff Report relative to SDR-1047 as follows:
"R. Design of retaining wall subject to Design Review Approval."
Commissioner Belanger inquired ifZthere!,is a remedy for the road grade?
Commissioner Marshall explained that if access were available and permissable
from the adjacent property the.acCess'road would.not be a problem. The tree
in question is healthy and should!not be removed just for access purposes.
This is simply a matter of a beautiful lot with difficult access.
Cormnissioner Smith pointed out.that the applicant cannot be denied the
use of this property, because it was legally established before the City
was incorporated. Conditions can be placed on the property that will
make it acceptable to the City. ~here does not seem to be.any way an
access road can be created without eitherremoving the tree or construction
of a retaining wall.

III. B. SDR-1047 - Continued
Commissioner Belanger noted that even if the tree were removed the
grade of the.road would not be changed.
~The Secretary stated that a significant difference might be made right
at the entrance, but the grade would still be there and require quite
a retaining wall.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Woodward, that the
Staff Report dated July 23, 1973 relative to SDR-1047 be adopted, as
amended, and that the tentative.map (Exhibit '~-2", filed July 9, 1973)
be approved subject to the.conditions set forth in said report; motion
carried with Commissioner Belan~er voting "no".
C. SDR-1054 - Roy Anderson, Saratoga Avenue - Building Site Approval - 2 Lots
- Continued from July 9~ 1973

requirements.
Chairman Marshall so directed.
D. SD-1055 - Roberts Communities, Inc., Saratoga Avenue and Dagmar Drive -
Subdivision Approval ~ 42 Lots - Continued from July 9~ 1973
The Secretary recommended that SDR-1055 be.continued to the next regular

time and was briefly reviewed by the Planning Commission.)
Chairman Marshall so directed.
E. SD-1057 - Gerald D. Butler, Walnut Avenue - Subdivision Approval 7 Lots -
Continued from July 9~ 1973
The Secretary recommended that SD-1057 be continued to allow time to

necessary to obtain an extension from the applicant since the time
on the tentative map will expire' prior to the next regular meeting.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Belanger, that the
subject request for Building Site Approval in. connection with SD-1057
be.denied unless a.~etter of extension is received from the applicant;
motion carried unanimously.
F. SDR-1061 - Ronald Freeze, Herriman Avenue - Building Site Approval -.1 Lot
- Continued from July 9~ 1973
The applicant was present and stated he had reviewed the proposed conditions
of approval as stated in the Sta£f Report dated July 23, 1973 and felt
condition II-D was a'little.excessive.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Belanger, that the
Staff Report dated July23, 1973'relative to SDR-1061 be adopted and
that the tentative map (Exhibit "A", filed June'27, 1973) be approved

The applicant's engineer was present and stated that this matter has not
yet been resolved and no information relative to same is available at this
time. The applicant would like to obtain building site approval prior to
proceeding with the matter of supplying this lot with water.

Planning Commission Minutes - Jun 11~ 1975 - Continued
III. G. SDR-1062 - Continued
Chairman Marshall stated that it would be preferable for the applicant
and his engineer to settle the problem of water-supply before proceeding
~ny further with building-site approval.
The Secretary explained that noFmally specific.information relative to
water-supply is not required since water is directly or indirectly
required by other agencies.
Commissioner Smith moved, seconded by Commissioner Belanger, that the
Staff Report dated July 23, 1973 relative to SDR-1062 be adopted and
that the tentative map (Exhibit "A", filed .Ju~.29, 1973) be.approved

None
VI. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
A. Westbrook Annexation
The Secretary stated that a/repOrt from the Westbrook Homeowners Association
'is avafl~51~'~n'i~h'ri~'s all the.lot~zsizes'a~d'setbacks for the eastern portion
Of the WestbroOk area or Tract 1'179. With a few exceptions on side yard
setbacks the "R-l-15,000" zoning would be the most appropriate since the
"R-1-20,O00" zoning would create more legal non-conforming setbacks. The
area would be most compatible wilth "R-l-15,000" zoning.
Chairman Marshall noted that the' information submitted by the residents
of Westbrook appears to be very .thorough.
The Secretary in answer to an inquiry from Commissioner Belanger, stated
that there are eleven (11) lots 'that.are 20,000-square feet/'or more in
size.
Chairman Marshall explained that. the.only lot capable of expansion with
the "R-l~15,000" zoning is theone 32,500-square feet in size; therefore,
the "R-l-15,00 zoning does seem to be the best zoning classification for
the Westbrook area.
Commissioner Smith Stated that in his opinion the Planning Commission ~hould
not change it original recommendation~ but should reaffirm their report to
zon~':ghis entire area "R-I-10~O00"; thereby, creating no ~h~ohforming lots.
Chairman Marshall raised the question of whether the ten (10) lots that .are
in excess of 20,O00-square feet in size would join forces and subdivide in
the future with the "R-l-10,000"izoning.
The Secretary stated that it is possible but-not likely. The Staff recommends
that the eastern portion of this area be zoned ~!R-l-15,000" and the remainder
be zoned "R-I-10,O00" since financial institutions look at legal-non-conforming
lot sizes as being.in opposition'to the basic zoning district and therefore
creating a difference in financial lending within an area.
Commissioner Belanger stated her!concern is with the two (2) parcels that
could possible be subdivided.

Planning Commission Minutes - Jd/ne 11, 1973 - Continued
VI. A. Westbrook - Continued
Commissioner Martin stated that he favors the "R-l-15,000" zoning for
the area because it would avoid ~urther subdivision of. lots and maintain
open-space,
Commissioner Martin moved, seconded by Commissioner Woodward, to recommend
the the City Council that the Westbrook area be zoned "R-i-iO,O00" for
the western portion and "R-l-15,0OO"~for the eastern portion as shown on
Plan "C" dated July 9, 1973; motion carried with Commissioner Smith
voting "no".
B. Traffic Circulation - Comer DriVe~ Arroyo de ArSuello~ and Via Roncole
The Secretary explained that the'City Council has asked the Planning
Commissioner to restudy the traffic circulation and alternatives in the
Via Rondole, Arroyo de Arguello, Comer Drive and Wardell Road area and
especially the closing of Arroyo.de Arguello and Via Roncole.
Commissioner Woodward pointed out that one interesting point should be
considered and that is. that the.property between the two (2) cul-de-sacs
might be bought and d~veloped.
Commissioner Marshall explained ~hat the residents of Via Roncole and
Arroyo de Arguello have a bonafide gripe but it is apparent that they
were not aware that they lived on a collector street. The City Council
1). did not feel that the Planning Commission had spent enough time on
this matter 2) wanted the Planning Commission to give this matter
priority consideration 3) discussed the possibility of postponing any
further action until the effect of signalization is determined and/ .... ~
'~ reviewed a proposal to barricade Via Roncole at the railroad tracks.
Councilman Kraus was presnet and explained that the City Council got the
impression that the Planning Commission had not spent a great deal of
time on this matter.
Commissioner Marshall explained that considerable discussion has taken
place on this matter and the Planning Commission has made every effort
to preserve and regulate~f~!de-s.acing in the City and if that suddenl~
is destroyed we will essentially ~route the traffic on to what was once
a rural road.
Commissioner Smith stated that i~ his opinion this entire matter should
be made part of the General Plan.
The Secretary explained that the City Council has.indicated a higher priority
is necessary for this situation.: The CoUncil is seriously considering a
cul-de-sac for Arroyo de Arguello. ~
Commissioner Smith advised that he did not feel that plan had any merit ,
Mr. Beyer, city Manager, pointed out that Via Roncole is not shown as a
collector street, but Arroyo de Arguello is shown. 'Such matter need to
be reviewed annually and pre-planned.
Commissioner Marshall stated that. the Plannin~ Commission should reaffirm
their recommendation to not cul-de-sac .Arroyo de Arguel~0 until the effect ~
of the signalization is felt on the basis that said cul-de-sacing would
be in violation of=~iiy'~Ordinance and would cause a 7disservice to d~hYf ~
parts of the City. FurtheD a study should be undertaken for other street
patterns in the northwest .portion of the City .especially in undeveloped
areas. / Commissioner Marshall further said tha~, perhaps, the matter
.~d best be reviewed at at joint study-session with the City Council
· after a study by the Subdivision Committee a~d'S~Yf~ is compr~'~'d.

Planning Commission Minutes - July 23~ 1973 - Continued
VI. Bo Traffic - Continued
Commissioner Belanger explained that the City Council has promised the
· people in the neighborhood an answer by the next regular-meeting.
Commissioner Marshall pointed out that whatever is done will have an
impact that will last about thirty (30) years; therefore, the matter
should not be hurriedly decided.
Councilman Kraus stated that thelCity Council wants to be very sure
what the Planning Commissionis position is on this matter.
The Secretary stated that an action plan or time schedule could be
ready by the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Matteoni moved, seconded by Commissioner Smith, that the
Planning Commission reaffirm their previou~ position and recommend
against the cul-de-sacing of ArrOyo de Arguello on the basis it would
violate the general prinqiples that have been followed in the past and
because'~h'~ effect .q~_s..~gnalization of the intersection at Wardell Road
~and Sa~a~og~nn_Xy._.ale Road has not been determined. Further a st~ be
'/conducted of the northwest area of the City, with the aid of the Staff and the
existing policy and requirements.regarding cul-de-sacing be r~considered;~'.',I.'7l.,
motion carried unanimously.
C. Suit Filed Against the City of Saratoga by AVCO Community Developers -
Concerning .the Approval of the Development in the Proposed West Valley
Freeway Right-of-Way
Commissioner Matteoni asked the Secretary from some details relative to
the hearing at which the Secretary testified.
The Secretary explained that the City"d'f~'~prove'd'ih~b'dl~iiionmap that
shows part of the land partially .located in the West Valley Freeway right-of-way
The basis of the case was,~nd it came out in the comments of both attorneys
and witnesses)that what AVCO was really asking the City and/or State to
purchase the property because the State had advised that they could not
come up with the funds in the next five (5) year period and the City's
postion was that until the State makes'some deletion of this proposed
route (which they have not done nor do they show any evidence that they
will) the'- City cannot do anything else but refuse to grant approval for
any building in that area.
Cormnissioner Matteoni stated that it is his understanding that the State
Division of Highway is no longer in a 'position to protect the right-of-way
areas except for the area around IBM. Could it be that their position was
changed without formally notifyin~ the City.
Commissioner Marshall stated that' depending upon the outcome of .this'~court
case the City will either have a resubmission of the tentative map or no
submission at all from AVCO.
Mr. Beyer stated that he received a letter from the State Division of
Highways saying they did not have the money to buy right-of-way easements.
They do own 68% of the right-~f~way in the Saratoga area, but there could
be more than that out of Saratoga.
Do WEST VALLEY JUNIOR COLLEGE
Mr. Beyer explained that there has been a modification in the'plans for
the college parking lot but the conditions have not been approved by the
Governing Board and in fact they have.come back with a counter-~ffer and
the City Council will take action!on that at their next regular meeting.
The Governing Board position seems to be that there is agreement as to
lots 12 and 4; therefore, lot #3 Should be taken out and anb~herl'.atte~n~tive
was to leave lot #3 in and compromise another 18-feet but the City Council
proposed 87-feet so there is still a 50-foot difference so the Governing
Board will not be easily budged. ,
