AGENDA ~, ACTION TAKEN'
A. Appeal - Brian Kelly (COnt'd.) Feeling is..that applicant has under-
gone adequate public hea~ings. No
positive or negative input from
surrounding neighbors.
Commercial portion of the project
was p.ut in at the request of the
Planning Commission -- original plan
was all townhouses. Applicant would
like to have approval for 2,600 to
2,800 sq. ft. restaurant w~__ith_the
same par~ng ratios as~g~anted-~ .y
~d~10Dment'a~O~the str~t~ ....
Corr: Inquired if 96 additional
parking spaces adequate for a
restaurant t~at size.
Mr. Robinson replied t-hat the
Planning Commission has d~termined
this parking ratio wo~ld be adequate.
Matteoni: Inquired of the applicant
,~f ~h~r~ld be difficulty in
~f~ ~O~'~dification on a use
permit, based on a.specific proposal.
Mr~ Kel]~.v~ It is time consuming;
they woUld'like to know the list
of uses. Also, it is cost to the
City -- for a restaurant approval
that is already granted across the
streets.
KKaus: The'~restaurant was one of
the items that was of real issue
across the street for people living
in the surrounding areas.
Mr. Kelly: .He would'not consider
a pizza parlor a 4,000 sq. ft.
sit-down type Sambo's Restaurant.
Kraus: Nevertheless, the neighbors
were aware of the Lohr-Turgeon pro-
proposal, and they are not aware of
this proposed project.
Kalb: If a restaurant were to be
approved, would the applicant be
able to meet the 1 to 160 ratio.
Kelly: This would be over that figure.
Kalb: Applicant .is just below the
200 figure now -- inquiredthow he
proposed. to get to the 1 to 160 rati6..
Kelly: Assuming a 2,800 sq. ft.
restaurant with-1 to 160, this would
be 18 spaces. 18 from 96 would leave
78 spaces -- divided into 15,960,
would be 205.~

John Mallory, 12258 Kirkdale Drive,
representative of the N.W. Saratoga
Homeowner'.s Association. Agrees
with Planning Commission and staff
in their recommendation. If another

this should be brought back for re-
view with the citizens.

dents in the area, who may not
favor what might benefit the rest
of the community.
M/S: Matteoni/Corr to direct the
staff to bring back at the next
regular meeting of the Council
