SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
TIME: Tuesday, January 9, 1990 6:00 p.m.
PLACE: Community Center Arts and Crafts Room, 19655 Allendale
Avenue
TYPE: Study Session - Joint Meeting with Planning Commission
and Heritage Preservation Commission
1. Joint Meeting with Planning Commission
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m.
Councilmembers Anderson, Peterson, Stutzman and Mayor Clevenger
were present; staff members Emslie and Peacock were present;
Planning Commissioners Burger, Harris~ Kolstad, Moran, Siegfried,
Tappan and Tucker were present.
Diane Carstens of Gerontological Research Services reviewed the
market analysis for senior facilities and answered questions on the
data and the conclusions of the research. One focus was on the
need for assisted living and in what context. Conclusion is for
assisted living as a service not as a facility.
It is the consensus of both Commission and Council that a
retirement community is desirable for Saratoga,' but the
demographics can support only one such community.
There was the opinion expressed by Diane that the Dividend site has
a size constraint to provide all the facilities expressed as
desirable by the research. On the other hand, nearness to.shopping
would be superior. Location near the freeway is also a negative
in some people's consideration.
Mr. Beverett indicated that many more people would prefer the Odd
Fellows environment to the Paul Masson environment.
Consensus that staff is to work with property owners.in developing
concepts for an integrated facility on the Odd Fellows and San
Marcos property for presentation to the Planning Commission and the
public at a future public hearing. Time is of the essence. Staff
may propose use of outside resources but will need Council
authority to appropriate funds for the purpose.
2. Joint Meeting with Heritage Preservation Commission
Commissioners Ansnes, Cameron, Davis, Koepernik, Mitchell and Peck
were present. Staff member James Walgren was present.
A. Usage of Warner Hutton House
Staff to develop proposed uses for the space and have it reviewed
by the Commission for its recommendation prior to the plan being
approved by the City Council.
E. Funding for Publication of Heritage Resource Inventory
Commission needs about $6,000 more to do the job in addition to the
$5,000 state grant, $5,000 in staff in kind services and $5,000 in
Heritage Commission fund raising funds. Council agrees to provide
funds above the 10,000 hard dollars for completion of the book as
long as the cost is justified. Should be brought to Council as a
budget adjustment.
