4. Discussion of Disposition of Paul Masson Property on Saratoga
Avenue
The City Manager reviewed the history of the property since 1985.
Dick Oliver, Dividend Development Corporation, the owner, presented a
comparison. of the Paul Masson property with a similar project in Los
Altos. Discussion ensued with Mr. Oliver and the City Council
regarding options as to size of units, types of units, having the
nursing facility become two story and increase the area covered by
condos, reducing the amount of required open space from the current
40% standard.
Andy Beverett, 19597 Via Monte Dr., stated there are two basic kinds
of issues, site and functional. He expressed concern that the
functional issues have been given most of the attention when the site
issues are most important. He cited Dr. Stutzman's concerns on the
potential health issues related to carbon monoxide and the elderly.
Ed Vincent, Westover Drive, stated that if the City made no promises
toMr. Oliver for three stories when he purchased the property, and
none were, then the City shouldn't be spending time on it now. The
economic success is of concern, but it primarily is Mr. Oliver's
problem, not the City's. The three-story option should be rejected.
The City Council suggested that it would consider a density of 25 units
per net acre for the housing portion, reduced open space, reduced
parking requirements for the nursing facility and the living units,
keep a two story design, consider having the nursing facility two
story, a 30-foot height limit.
