with that of the neighborhood.

Mr. Stotler requested that he be allowed to work with staff toward the selection of colors.
In response to Commissioner Murakami's question, he clarified that the applicant felt that
the height element would break up the horizontal lines. Requiring the applicant to lower
the entryway would take away the emphases from the entryway that the applicant wanted
to achieve.
Commissioner Siegfried stated that it troubles him that the home sits high on the hill and
that it would be highly visible. He asked if there was something that could be done to make
it less imposing?
Community Development Director Curtis noted that conditions 2 b, c and d address the
drainage issue.
COMMISSIONERS PATRICK/MURAKAMI MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING AT 7:51 P.M.
Commissioner Patrick stated that she would support the use of darker earthtone colors as
the site is highly visible. She felt that the entryway was too massive and that it would be
visible. She recommended that the entryway be scaled down.
Commissioners Bernald and Murakami agreed that the entryway would be massive on the
hillside.
Mr. Stotler stated that he would like to have the project approved at a staff level. If the
entryway needs to be lowered, he would agree to modify it.

Community Development Director Curtis clarified that the porch was similar to that of a
covering over a door.
Donald Macrae. 20679 Reid Lane, stated that he vas not use to seeing 4,OOOto 5.000 square
foot homes in this neighborhood. He noted that the home is going to be built five feet above
street level. He asked if sidewalks would be installed and what the setbacks would be from
the street. Mr. Macrae stated that Commissioner Abshire contacted him to ask about the
size of the homes in the neighborhood. He stated that he has a 2,000 square foot home and
that the proposed home appears large for the area.
Commissioner Siegfried asked if Mr. Macrae's square footage includes the garage as today's
square footage includes the garage area. He noted that seven homes could be built in excess
of 4.000 square feet in this subdivision.
Mr. Bommarito indicated that sidewalks are not proposed to be installed, noting that there
were no sidewalks in the neighborhood.
Chairwoman Kaplan stated that complaints are being received that homes are being built
at a higher level than the curb level. Community Development Director Curtis clarified that
a home can be built from the natural grade of the property, noting that this lot sits at its
natural grade.
COMMISSIONERS PATRICK/SIEGFRIED MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING AT 8:04 P.M.
Commissioner Siegfried stated that he had concerns regarding the elevation of the home
when he first visited the site but that after looking at it a second time. his concerns were
satisfied that the home was sited on natural grade. He indicated that he did not oppose the
design of the home.
Commissioner Abshire stated that he surveyed homes on Trinity and Pontiac Avenues. He
noted that the proposed home vas almost twice as large as some of the existing homes or
at least 50 percent larger. He noted that the building coverage is maxed out. He did not
believe that the home was compatible with that of the neighborhood.
Chairwoman Kaplan stated that at time of subdivision review, the Commission discussed the
possible size of the homes in relation to the lot sizes. She did not believe that this was the
time to discuss the size of the homes.
Commissioner Pierce stated that almost every home is being built to maximize the home
based on land values. He stated that he could support the project.
Chairwoman Kaplan noted that the resolution states that the proposed residence is
compatible in size and bulk. She stated that this would be a true statement in relation to the

adjacent, newly developed subdivision. She stated that she had a problem with the wording
of the resolution because it is not in conformance with the size and style of the existing
homes in the neighborhood.
Community Development Director Curtis stated that the subdivision approval restricted the
construction of homes to single story so that the homes would fit in with those in the
neighborhood. He stated that it vas the intent to blend the homes with the homes built over
a decade or t~vo ago.
In response to a question raised by Mr. Macrae. Commissioner Siegfried stated that the
Commission has tried to slow down the construction of large homes.~He noted that in the
early 1980's hillside homes were being built at 10.000-11,000 square feet and since have
been restricted to approximately 6,500 square feet. He agreed with Commissioner Pierce
that land price has become expensive and that the City could not require a property owner
to build a 2,000 square foot home.
Commissioner Murakami stated that a concern vas raised regarding the height of the home.
He agreed that it was unfortunate that the perception would be that of a large home, but
noted that times have changed. He indicated that the design review is based on the codes
that are in place.
Chairwoman Kaplan noted that the height of the home is only 18 feet.
Commissioner Patrick stated that she «~ould not approve the home if it was a 22-foot tall
building. She recommended less use of stone and stucco and more use of wood siding in
the design of future homes.

applications would need to be continued to a specific date. He indicated that items to be
considered are as follows: architectural style, colors. siQnage, and tying the creek with
passive recreational amenities to make it an integral part of this project.
Chairwoman Kaplan opened the public hearing at 8:29 p.m.
Alex DeLeon, project architect, stated that the shopping center owners would like to
renovate the current shopping center with a face lift to three sides of the building. He
identified the proposed shopping center modifications as follows: parking layout to be
redesigned; parking lot to be resurfaced and sealed; additional landscape islands are
proposed to break up the parking lot; new landscaping is to be installed on the southern and
western portions of the lot; existing trees to remain on the northern and eastern portion of
the lot; new lighting system is to be installed; installation of a pre-cast sound wall along the
eastern property line; the existing redwood fence is to be retained; sound wall to be installed
three to four inches in front of the redwood fence; removal of the existing chainlink fence
to be replaced with an open fence design; picnic tables are not proposed due to health and
safety concerns (i.e., if a fence is not installed to keep pubic away from the edge of the
property, individuals could slip and slide due to the hill, becoming a liability to the owner);
installation of ne~v sidewalks on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road; bus duck out to be installed as
required by the County Transportation Department; access to the main entrance of the
shopping center would be through the existing curb cut; project designed to meet Americans
of Disability Act (ADA) requirements; anew monument sign is proposed. to be relocated
further to the right of the existing monument sign: separate trash enclosure proposed for
pad A; the existing trash enclosures located to the rear are to be redesigned; and the roof
line is proposed to be the same height as the existing roof line.
Mr. DeLeon clarified that he used multi-tiered architectural elements and that a series of
arches and port holes are used to break the horizontal mass. The north side of the shopping
center would be made a working part of the shopping center (office space) to make it less
of a back side to the building. The architectural elements to be used are keystone arches.
It is proposed to use a light color for the main body of the building to brighten up the
center. It is to be off set with darker and richer colors on the roof and facade trims of the
arches. He felt that the contrast in colors would add excitement to the center. He stated that
a 6.000 and 3.500 square foot building are proposed across the street.
Mr. DeLeon stated that Safeway was currently at 30,000 square feet and that it would be
expanded by 10,720 square feet. Parking is at 493 spaces. noting that the traffic study
indicates that there are 50 to ~~ spaces more than the proposed uses require. This would
allow introduction of food service.
Community Development Director Curtis concurred that the number of parking spaces
proposed is sufficient and that when a use is proposed, the use would be evaluated to ensure
sufficient parking is provided.

Richard Noodleman, 20420 Pierce Road, townhome community resident, stated that there
are 25 individuals who reside adjacent to the shopping center. He stated that the residents
are excited about the upgrades and expansion of the center. He addressed concerns as stated
in the letter submitted to the Commission this evening. The main concern relates to traffic
safety and nuisance issues. He expressed concern with loitering of teenagers and homeless
individuals as well as with the harassment that is occurring. He stated that there were
problems associated with: noise associated with delivery trucks; invasion of privacy; garbage
collection; burnt out lights, and with the general lack of maintenance. He stated that he
would like to work with the developer to address the residents' concerns. He requested the
installation of a six-foot soundwall setback from the existing redwood fence to mitigate noise
and to create a sound barrier to the residential properties. The soundwall would also create
a greenbelt, separating the townhomes from the shopping center. He also requested that the
northern portion of the lot be made into a less of a traffic flow area and that trucks be
required to use the back side of the shopping center. He further requested that an on going
24-hour patrol be required to mitigate noise and vandalism.
Chairwoman Kaplan acknowledged receipt of the letter submitted by Mr. Noodleman
addressing area resident's concerns.
Marc Kocir, 12795 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, stated his support of improvements to the
shopping center but that he vas not sure if the design fits in with the residential
neighborhood. He stated that the entryway to the Safeway Store is in the same location. He
expressed concern with the bottleneck that would occur in the middle of the shopping
center. He asked if thought had been given to moving the entryway south on Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road. Relocation of the entryway would eliminate much of the traffic at the
intersection. He recommended that the hours of operation be restricted to cut down on
noise and loitering impacts to the adjacent residential area.
Deke Hunter, co-applicant, felt that he could address most of the issues raised by the
neighbors. He informed the Commission that he has been the owner of the shopping center
for a little over eight months and that he has tried to mitigate the loitering that has been
occurring to the north of the property. He is also trying to improve traffic safety and the
appearance of the shopping center. He informed the Commission that there is a 15-foot
drop from Blauer Drive to the back of the shopping center. He felt that lighting, and
landscaping will help guide traffic. He stated that he would be willing to meet with a
neighborhood committee to address the residents' concerns (i.e.,soundwall, installation of
landscaping).
Commissioner Patrick asked ~vhy the color scheme vas selected as they appear to be Orange
County or Florida colors. She also asked ~vhy earthtone colors were not selected'? She also
asked about the architectural style selected as it is not considered to be a rural or woodsy
appearance associated with Saratoga. Mr. Hunter stated that the architectural improvement
was to take advantage of the existing glass line that is in place. He felt that a lighter color
scheme would improve the center's presentation to help the tenants become successful. He

stated that there are a variety of architectural styles in Saratoga. He said that he tried to
pick up some of the harder surfaces to make maintenance easier and to give the shopping
center a newer look. He clarified that the trees to be replaced are the series of older trees
located in the parking lot as well as the landscape median.
Commissioner Siegfried asked if Mr. Hunter had knowledge of proposed uses for buildings
A and B? Mr. Hunter responded that small businesses are proposed for buildings A and
B.
Chairwoman Kaplan stated that she received a letter at her home from Kenneth Fieldbauer
dated November 18, 1996 expressing concern with the remodel. specifically expressing
concern that the property is constrained with a building that could not exceed 12,000 square
feet at the corner of the property. Mr. Fieldbauer also expressed concern that a 6,000
square feet would be out of balance. She expressed concern with the architecture style of
the building (i. e. ,projection of a 35-foot tower. She recommended that the applicant look
at the Town of Los Gatos for architectural stvles. She stated that she did not like the use
of pink stucco. She said that residents have expressed concern with the hours of operation.
Community Development Director Curtis stated that the hours of operation for the Safeway
Store were legal non-conforming hours. To change the hours of operation, a determination
would need to be made that the hours of operation are a nuisance. He indicated that this
process was a complicated one.
Chairwoman Kaplan asked if traffic to the north side could be limited by signage (i.e.,
employee parking or time restrictive parking? Mr. Hunter stated that he would be willing
to work with staff and that he was not here with a "take it or leave it" attitude. He stated
that he would be willing to make the necessary modifications.
Commissioner Abshire asked if there are any special plans for Blauer Drive. Mr. Hunter
stated that it has been recommended that improvements be made to the median with the
installation of landscaping.
Commissioner Pierce asked why a softer look to the design was not proposed (i.e. ,use of
wood or tile)`? Mr. DeLeon responded that rural material vas not used due to the history
of the shopping center and its maintenance. Materials such as stucco were selected so that
they would be permanent, durable and maintain their ne~v appearance longer.
Commissioner Siegfried asked if the same stucco material could be used but giving it a
"woodsy"appearance? Mr. DeLeon responded that the use of material was not addressed
because it vas not a problem before this date.
Commissioner Patrick recommended that attention be given to Blauer Drive for safety
reasons, tying the two intersections together: that consideration be given to incorporating
the creek area and that it be opened up; and that additional trees be planted to soften the

architecture.
Chairwoman Kaplan asked if any other Commissioners have a problem with the tower
element`?
Commissioner Murakami stated that he did not believe that the architectural design reflects
the feeling of the City. He noted that Los Gatos has ne~v shopping malls under design that
have a softening affect and recommended that they be viewed for ideas. He stated that he
appreciated the comments expressed by the neighbors.
Commissioner Siegfried stated that he had a problem with the 35-foot tower element.
Commissioner Bernald stated that she was having a problem with the stucco facade and the
brick look. She stated that she would not have a problem with the tower if it was softened
with a wooden look. She felt that the use of wood would make the design conducive to the
residential neighborhood. She recommended that the applicant view the shopping center
in Los Gatos located at Blossom Hill-Los Gatos Road.
Community Development Director Curtis requested that the Commission address whether
the expansion of the out pads are appropriate as part of the shopping center development.
Chairwoman Kaplan expressed concern with the out buildings as they are located too close
to the corner. She asked about the environmental clearance for the gas station site.
Community Development Director Curtis stated that environmental clearance would need
to be obtained.
Chairwoman Kaplan recommended that additional landscaping be incorporated in the
Blauer side of the project.
IT WAS THE CONSENSUS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMISSION THAT THE
OUT BUILDINGS ARE APPROPRIATE PROVIDED THAT ARCHITECTURAL
RELIEF AND GREATER SETBACKS ARE PROVIDED.
Commissioner Siegfried requested that the comments and concerns raised by Mr. Kocir
relating to access and traffic problems be addressed.
Chairwoman Kaplan asked staff if the food services provide would provide sufficient parking
as raised in a letter addressed to Planner Walgren dated November ~, 1996? She also asked
if staff was aware of the other questions being raised? Community Development Director
Curtis responded that the letter addresses a parking study that evaluates the parking needs
for the center and whether the uses proposed would provide sufficient parking.
Commissioner Pierce expressed concern with softening of the shopping center's appearance.
He noted that other Commissioners have addressed various degrees of concerns. He

recommended that the Commission provide the applicant direction.
Commissioner Patrick noted that the Commission has expressed concern with the hard edge,
ridges, modern Orange County, non-wood-type appearance in the design.
Chairwoman Kaplan requested better depiction, cross sections and color board of the
fencing and planting material to be proposed.
