acre residential. F~ Plane pointed out that the West Valley Junior
College has acquired 100 acres of property at Fruitv~le and Allendale
and that he had read recent reports indicating that funds will be
available for campus construction and that~ because of these factors~
be felt that the area should be approved for lower density,,
SAPSTOGA CITY COUNCIL MINITfES - January 5, 1966
Dr. Isaac No Abram, was advised that the Council was ready to hear
his comments with respect to the analysis and documentation of his
proposal for Planned Conmmunity in the Saratoga.-Cox area which!was
presented for Council review at the last hearing. Dr.; Abram, first
reviewed his report analyzing the need for Planned Community multiple
housing in Saratoga and observed that this need was re~cognized by
the Council at the time Ordinance NS~3.6 was adopted, ~stablishing
a Planned Community district zoning classification. The demand for
ra
this type of development has not been filled, Dr. Ab ms stated,
and it was his opinion that the matter is urgent. Dr.] Abram, then
conmented on the appropriateness of the Saratoga-Cox ~yenue site
for Planned Conununity multi-development and particula~ly for the
Annual type use he has proposed. Dr. Abram, cited the following reasons
Revie.~ why he felt this use should be approved for the area:~ high quality
General multiple housings primarily for retired persons, is p~oposed for
Plan the site and this use is particularly suitable for th~s area because
of accessibility to various services, shops~ medical facilities,
public transportation and churches. Furthermores the ]topography
is desirable for retired persons in that the land is flat, has
ee s
natural boundaries, easy direct access to major str t and is located
h ould needed.
within walking distance of most of the services w ich;w be
From a tax standpoint, Dr. Abrams indicated that it was his opinion
that the City would benefit because no children would~live there
and the burden on the school districts would be alleviated and
that the property would contribute more in taxes than ~it would need
in services. Dr. Abram, concluded his conmeats with the observation
that his proposed development would benefit the City ~y providing
suitable, low maintenance housing to serve retired citizens who
would otherwise have to move to other areas. These pap , r.
o le D
Abram, indicated, are the type of people who have, in ~the past,
contributed to the City and civic activities and are people who
have the time and inclination to continue to contribute.
Mayor Glennon indicated that it seems to be the concensus of the
Council that the proposal to reinstate multiple density in the area
proposed by Dr. Abram, is one of the most critical questions which
the Council has to consider in this review of the General Plan.
C t hue
Accordin~ly the Mayor suggested that the hearing be ~n i d for
a report at the next meeting on all comments and correspondence
relative to this particular matter and for a clarification from the
Planning Commission as te its precise recommendation ~or this area.
Councilman Hartman agreed that clarification of the Pl. anned-Conmmunity
multiple zoning question is needed and that, in addition to this
item, he felt that the request for 1/2 acre zoning in]the Fruitvale
Avenue area should be studied further. Councilman Hartman stated that
he did not wish his remarks to be construed as in any!way agreeing
with the action of the college in acquiring the land ~nd that the
fact that the State has made funds available to the district does
not in any way mean ~that what was once ~rongs in his &pinion, is
now right. However~ Councilman Hartman continued, in~view of the
impact the junior college will have on the area he feit that the
~ st y
services of Livingston and B!aney should be engaged t ud this
matter as well as Mr. Planews and Dr. Abram~s ~equest.s. Councilman
Hartman stressed his concern about the impact of the junior college
and stated that he could not look at the problem objectively, knowing
that the college has already acquired 100 acres of land and that
although the Planning Commission report complies with the Councils,
instructions, it is not based on the feet, regarding ~he college
that have since been made available to the Council.

Commission is not in favor of reducing the density in!the existing
residential zones and therefore would not approve Mr.~Plane's
request. Relative to the impact of the junior colleg~ the Mayor
pointed out that the Counqil's i~structions to the Planning Commission
were that they should disregard the fact that the college may some
day develop° Although the Council had intended to spend some

$18,000 on the 701 program and employ experts for the five year
review this was tabled pending resolution of the question of the
junior college. Until this question is resolved it is not possible,
the Mayor indicated, to give the Planning Conmd.ssion any different
instructions°
Planning Co~nissioner O'Rorke reviewed the history of the current
General Plan review and stated that the Planning Commission recommenda-
tion with respect to Dr. Abrams proposal was purposely left flexible
because of the Planning Commissionms concurrent consideration of
Dro Abrams specific rezoning proposal. To make specific recommenda-
Annual tions on the questions Commissioner OmRorke commented, would pro-
Review judge the Planning Commission action on Dr. Abr~m~ application.
General Regarding the land on Allendales Commissioner OtRorke agreed that
Plan much has happened regarding this property since the Planning
Commission received its original assignment and that further
instructions to the Planning Comuission might therefore be desirable.
Mayor Glennon observed that the Planning Commission cannot rezone
Dr. Abr~m~ property unless the General Plan is first changed and
declared [~at he did not feel that a recommendation from the
Planning Commission as to whether the General Plan should be
changed for this area would pro-judge Dr. Abrams application.
Councilman Drake urged the establishment of a timetable for proceeding
with the 701 program and at this times closing the public hearing,
accepting the Planning Co~mqssion report ands in study session, work
out the details of the chenges which have been recommended by the
Planning Commission. Councilman Drake indic~ted that, in his opinions
the Planning Commission report is clear and in essence recommends no
major changes and that the key word is "major". As far as the
Abrams proposal Councilman Drake said that he felt the Planning
Commission is clearly recommending the change cf zoning in that
specific area. Councilman Drake expressed concern that this annual
review of the General Plan is taking so long and he feels that hard-
ships may result.
Mayor Glennon disagreed that conclusion of the annual review is
urgent and asked if Councilman Drake would have any serious objections
to delaying the hearing until the Council has a definite consensus
of what the Planning CommisSion is recommending and Councilman
Drake indicated that he did not. Commissioner O'Rorke stated that
he felt the Planning Commission would be willing to go back and try
to make a more specific recommendation.
The Council briefly discussed the recon~,endation regarding the
Pierce Road connection and the Clerk indicated that he could probably
get the comments of a traffic consultant relatively inexpensively
but that there was no ~oubt that a traffic expert would advise that
a right angle intersection is safer than a "dog-legged" one.
Commissioner O~Rorke reported that the Planning Commission rec-
commendation for this extension was not prompted by concern about
todays safety problem buts rather, as a long range plan for providing
good access to the upper Pierce Road area when it becomes more
populated.
Regarding a question relative to the recommended establishment of
plan lines on major streets~ the Clerk reported that the staff is in
the process of gathering all the field data for plan lines on Saratoga
Avenue into the village and are also getting quotes for the same thing
on Qulto Road. These two areas are those which are felt to be major
problem areas which require plan lines at this time. The plan lines
which have already been established for Fruitvale Avenue mays the
Clerk stated~ have to be changed depending on the resolution of the
question of the junior college°
S-~.RATOG& CiTv. COUNCIL MiNUTeS - Jam~la~y S~ !966
