II. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. C-172 - Blackwell Homes (Parker Ranch), Prospect and Stelling Roads, Change of
Zoning Request from "A" (Agriculture) and "R-i-40,000" (Single-Family
Residential) to "R-i-40,000 PC" (Single-Family Residential Planned
Community); a 218-acre parcel; Continued fromMarch 12~ 1975
The Secretary explained that Staff, the SubdivisiOn Committee and the applicant
was still pursuing the detailed review of the proposed development plans, and
that a recommendation on the zoning would not be made at this time. He added
that it was Staff's recommendation the applicant present a brief report to the
Commission and public on the progress of this plan to-date, and that C-172 be
continued to the Commission meeting of May'28, 1975.
Presentation by Applicant
Mr. William Heiss, applicantYs representative, gave a short report and slide
presentation on the development plan progress, pointing out changes made thus
far between the plan presented at the March 12th Commission meeting and to-date:
· He stated that-the street pattern had been significantly altered in order
to avoid the necessity of residents backing out onto major streets, in
order to minimize the grading requirements, and in order to produce a
more aesthetic design via clustering of houses in lieu of a more linear
alignment and via the use of islands between street lanes.
Mr. Heiss stated that this was accomplished by the use of "eye-brow"
and "antler" type street patterns, as well as "private" streets and
· . drives, off the major streets. He pointed out that by providing such
a circulation system, all but six houses in the entire project would
be able to enter major street systems head first rather than backing
onto them; consequently, this would reduce safety hazards and incon-
veniences. He added that small parking bays had been randomly placed
on these private roads for additional parking needs.
Mr. Heiss stated that another revision made in the street pattern had
been the narrowing of major streets. He pointed out that by using two
narrow lanes with an island in between rather than one wide road, the
-1-

II. A. C-172 - Blackwell Homes (Parker Ranch) - Cont'd
need for grading would be minimized and the amount of cut and fill signi-
ficantly reduced. He further pointed out that the use of more narrow
roads would also reduce the number of trees to be removed in that some
of the private drives could more readily meander through the trees.
He pointed out that the development 'plans now had 111 homesites in that
they had placed these homes wherever they appeared to be the most logi-
cal sitings. He added, however, that they recognized the 105-homesite
goal, and expected to make changes as needed.
· Mr. Heiss gave a brief report on the recent field trip taken by the City's
Trails and Pathways Task Force. He stated that as a result of this field
trip, the applicant had improved its proposed trail system per the sugges-
tions of the Task Force by, primarily, splitting the trails as much as
possible off from major streets, recreational facilities, and the project's
development in general. He added that the developer intended to fully
cooperate with the Trails and Pathways Task Force, pointing out that it
was their proposal to design the project to set aside two trail areas
for public use.
Citizen Response
· Steve Carter, representative of the Friends of Painless Parker, asked who
would maintain the private streets proposed for this project. Chairman
Marshall explained that the use of the term "private" street was actually
a misnomer, and had been used for purposes of merely identifying the type
of street construction; i--e., private street connotated a more narrow
street than the 26-foot wide City standard street. He stated that the
Subdivision Committee, Staff and the applicant had felt this concept more
acceptable in that it would dramatically decrease the need for cut and
fill, and that it would reduce the amount of bare streets which could be
seen from those people living below the project. Commissioner Callon added
to this that the City's traffic consultant had on numerous-_occasions
recommended the use of narrower streets as a more effective control on
the speed of traffic; i.e., drivers were usually more cautious in driving
on narrower streets. Chairman Marshall pointed out, however, that the
private-street concept had not been dialogued in detail as yet with the
Public Works Department, and that this would be done in the near future.
· A gentleman in the audience asked if _b~Cyqle trails had been considered
in this new circulation plan, pointing out that narrow streets were usually
more dangerous to the cyclist. Chairman Marshall replied that this had
not been considered at this point.
· Mr. Russell Crowther, citizen of Saratoga, asked what the minimum width of
the streets would be, what the maximum slope of the streets and driveways
would be, and what the estimated cubic cut and fill depth would be.
Chairman Marshall again pointed out that the City-street standards called
for 26-foot widths. In answer to the other questions, Mr. Heiss responded
that City standards for maximum grading on driveways was 15%, and that all
but two driveways would meet this standard; the remaining two drives would
call for approximately 18% grade. He stated that he did not have actual
figures on the cubic yards of cut and fill. He did, however point out
that the majority of maximum depth of cut and fill had been in the front
section of the property, and that with the use of a narrower 2-lane street,
this had been decreased substantially; i~e., the original plan had called
for 20~'feet, x~ile the present plan would probably call for 10 feet.
Commission Action
At this point, Chairman Marshall directed C-172 be continued to the Planning
Commission meeting of ~y 28, 1975, and referred the matter to the Staff and
Subdivision Committee for further review. He requested Staff renotify
interested citizens and citizen groups that public testimony would be solicited
by the Commission at this meeting, and that a recommendation might be made.
MINUTES OF APRIL 23 975 ---
At this point Mr. Ron Diridon, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, read into
the record a' ~pecial-r~so!~tion of commendation to Jean Woodward as Citizen of
the Year. He presented Ms. WoOdward with the Resolution,.noting that it had been .-
~_p~sse~..unanimOusly by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
