RE: Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement
Dear Mr. Trinadad,
April 16, 1990
This writing is to acknowledge our concurrence to extend
our Agreement through June 30, 1991. At this time I hereby
respectfully request a rate adjustment. According to the
C.P.I., the.percentage of increase from February 1989 to
February 1990 is 4.2 %. Currently the monthly cost per
intersection is $83.43. Therefore at this time I must ask for
a rate adjustment of 4% increase ($ 3.34), increasing the
cost per intersection to $ 86.77.
A Revised labor and Equipment Schedule is enclosed for
your convenience.
I will appreciate your advisement on this matter at your
earliest convenience. I would like this adjustment go into
effect on July 1, 1990.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
Robert R. Hudson

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission DATE: 6/13/90
FROM: Stephen Emslie, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Review of Compliance with Use Permit Conditions;
Permittee: Brookside Club; Location 19127 Cox Ave.
overview
Because violations were noted by staff earlier this year when
Brookside members were observed consuming alcohol contrary to
conditions of the use permit, a public hearing to review the
Club's compliance with use permit conditions was scheduled.
Staff recommended elimination of the alcohol prohibition finding
this condition difficult to enforce and not necessarily effective
in reducing noise levels emanating from the site. The Planning
Commission continued the public hearing to allow the Brookside
Club to respond to outstanding conditions of their most recent
use permit amendment.
Backaround
The following conditions were discussed at the Commission's
5/23/90 meeting as having not been complied with:
1. The basketball standard located adjacent to the clubhouse
needs to be, a) eliminated; or b) relocated to a suitable
location not resulting in adverse noise impact.
2. Completion of fence repairs creating an air tight barrier
adjacent to the creek easement.
3. Landscape planting adjacent to the fence to provide a visual
barrier between the club and neighbors on the opposite side
of the creek.
4. Remove accumulated debris from creek easement.
Subsequent to the preceding public hearing, staff was contacted
by Brookside stating that fence repairs have been completed, and
debris was removed. The club indicated that they were attempting
V�*
to schedule a sitt- ✓isitation with represent ives of the Santa
Clara Valley Water District to review the clean -up and to approve
the landscape plan. Because landscape screening will be most
effective when located on the creek bank, the club is seeking
approval to plant within the easement Once approval is granted,
the club will complete this condition.
The basketball standard is not in usage. Although the standard
is in its original location, the area has been cordoned off to
prevent its use. Because staff is concerned that relocation of
the basketball standard may result in similar noise impacts to a
different neighborhood, it has requested relocation plans subject
to approval prior to moving the standard. Staff is awaiting
relocation plans from the club. Meanwhile the club has prohibit-
ed use of the basketball standard until relocation is resolved.
Perimeter fencing exists adjacent to the creek easement. When
the club's request for earlier start times for the three swim
meets was approved earlier this year, much of the fence was in
disrepair or missing sections. Conditions were established to
require the club to maintain the fence to achieve a solid air
tight barrier. The fence repair in combination with the required
landscaping was to visually and acoustically screen the club from
its neighbors.
At staff's last field inspection, much of the fence had been
repaired. However, several sections required further work.
Staff is scheduled to inspect the fencing condition prior to the
June 13 hearing to determine compliance with this condition and
will verbally report its findings.
Analysis
Staff maintains that no privileges granted under the recent
amendment should be conferred until compliance is achieved.
Staff finds that landscaping and fence repairs remain outstand-
ing. Because suitable alternative locations have not been ex-
hausted, staff feels the basketball standard can remain if its
use remains restrictive. If a suitable alternative that does not
impact other neighbors cannot be achieved, the standard will have
to be removed.
Staff retains its initial position regarding the alcohol prohibi-
tion. The City maintains existing and enforceable ordinances to
protect the serenity and safety of the neighborhood without
having to also enforce a ban on alcohol. Not only is the ban
consumptive of City resources, it is also a convoluted condition
to enforce. Direct enforcement of the noise and party ordinance
will achieve more effective results than an enforcement of alco-
hol prohibition.
However, staff feels no action should be taken until compliance
with previous conditions can be verified. Specifically, fence
repairs and landscaping needs to be completed prior to action by
the Planning Commission to modify alcohol restrictions. Further,
W.
no earlier swim me--s should occur until coml. ance can be veri-
fied.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take additional
testimony to determine compliance with previous conditions and
consider modification to alcohol prohibition if compliance can be
verified to the Planning Commission's satisfaction.

THE NEW SIDING WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE HOUSE; THAT THE CONDITION
OF THE STAFF REPORT FOR THE *SETBACK ON THE SECOND STORY. BE REMOVED.
Passed 6 -1; Commissioner Moran opposed.
Mr. Emslie clarified that because the Commission is approving the
revised elevation the necessity for conditions 7 and 8 is negated.
8. UP -547.1 Brookside Club, 19127 Cox Ave., review of use of
clubhouse and discussion of operating hours in
relation to the consideration of relaxing
conditions prohibiting alcohol (cont. from
5/23/90).
----------------------------------------------------------- - - - - --
Planning Director Emslie reviewed the staff memorandum dated
June 13, 1990.
Mr. Steve Randesi, 20340 Argonaut Drive, addressed the Planning
Commission as a representative of Brookside regarding compliance
with the Commission's conditions which were discussed at the May 23
meeting. He said it was his understanding that Brookside was in
compliance with the condition regarding the basketball standard
since the understanding was it was their option as to whether they
wanted to relocate the basketball standard or not and if they chose
not to relocate it they would not be allowed to use it. He
indicated they are still looking at places where it might be
relocated without causing problems with the neighbors. Regarding
the fence repairs, he said Mr. Emslie looked at the fence repairs
and his comments indicated it appeared the necessary repairs were
made and the Club was in compliance. There was one section of
internal fence down because that is where the trucks came in to
remove the debris. He said the fence was put up within two days of
Mr. Emslie's visit. Mr. Randesi also indicated that Mr. Emslie did
suggest the Club plant in the areas where there were gaps in the
shrubbery but he said he did not take that to be a requirement and
the Club cannot do that without approval of the Santa Clara Valley
Water District. Mr. Randesi stated the debris from the creek has
been removed.
Mr. Bob Salutric, 12635 Saratoga Creek Drive, addressed the
Planning Commission regarding the airtight fence and the issue of
landscaping to help reduce the noise level. He also expressed
concern regarding the use of alcohol at the Club.
Ms. Dee Askew, 12651 Saratoga Creek Drive, addressed the Planning
Commission regarding the material submitted to the Planning
Commission by the homeowners. She said a majority of the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
June 13, 1990
PUBLIC HEARINGS Continued
Page 7
homeowners are opposed to the use of alcohol.- She also addressed
the issue of the airtight fence, the use of the basketball standard
and landscaping.
Mr. Rick Polhemus, 12999 Paramount Drive, addressed the Planning
Commission. Mr. Polhemus is a member of Brookside. He said he
took exception to,the use of the word alcohol in the context of an
abuse in that it has not been directly proven to be a cause of
excessive noise. He encouraged the Commission to make sure the
rules and regulations in its jurisdiction are applicable to all
such facilities.
Ms. Jane Bernard, 12601 Brookglen Drive, addressed the Planning
Commission and stated she and her family recently joined Brookside.
She said they live directly across from the back entrance of the
Club and noise has never been a problem. She also indicated there
has never been any documented proof of any kind of alcohol problem
at the Club.
Mr. Gary Chevetta, 19548 Chardonnay Court, addressed the Planning
Commission. He said he believed neither a fence nor landscaping
will decrease any noise. He stated the Club is being run in the
1990s with a 1960s charter and suggested consideration should be
given to bringing the charter up to date.
Ms. Dora Krenz, 16451 Old Oak Way, addressed the Planning
Commission. She said at one time she lived near Brookside Club and
indicated the neighbors of the Club probably do not experience the
level of noise she presently experiences in her home near the Paul
Masson Winery during its concerts.
Mr. Jeff Grundy, 19242 Gunther Court, addressed the Planning
Commission. He agreed the Club has been an asset to the community
over the years but stated his opposition to the use of alcohol at
the Club.
Ms. Madeline Chevetta, 19548 Chardonnay Court, addressed the
Planning Commission regarding complaints that were made to the
police while she was at the Club.
A resident of 12634 Saratoga Creek Drive addressed the Planning
Commission. He said the neighbors all agree they have nothing
against activities for the children but stated his opposition to
the use of alcohol at the Club.

Commissioner Siegfried stated there should be landscaping on the
other side of the creek. He said the question of the alcohol
prohibition should be dealt with and he is now of the view that is
something that cannot be effectively monitored by the City. The
matter should be handled from the standpoint of the prohibitions
and restrictions on noise. He indicated that as long as the
basketball backboard is taken down and the fence repair is done he
would vote to remove the prohibition on alcohol. He said he would
also be in favor of directing staff to work with the Club to get
the landscaping finished.
Commissioner Burger agreed with Commissioner Siegfried's comments.
She said she would suggest that the Commission remove the word
"airtight" from the fencing requirements.
Commissioner Kolstad agreed with the comments of the previous
Commissioners.
Commissioner Tappan stated he is sensitive to the landscaping issue
and hoped there is a resolution to that issue. He said the
backboard should be removed from the basketball standard.
Following comments by Commissioners regarding review of the use
permit if the alcohol prohibition is removed, Commissioner Burger
expressed her opposition to doing so because she felt the
Commission would end up being a policing agency. She said she
agrees with staff that more reliance should be placed on the noise
ordinance to control the problem.
Commissioner Tappan reiterated his comments from previous meetings
that he believes there is no resolution to this problem as it is a
good neighbor policy issue.
Commissioner Moran agreed with Commissioner Siegfried's comments
concerning the Commission's role regarding the alcohol issue and
said she agrees with the staff report on that issue. She indicated
she too would like to see the backboard and net taken down from the
basketball standard. She said she would be reluctant to see the
Club install landscaping that might die from lack of water and
suggested that staff work with the Club on the landscaping.
Commissioner Caldwell said she too would be reluctant to see
landscaping installed if it will die. She indicated she would
prefer to see resolution of the remaining conditions handled
administratively at the staff level. She also indicated she would
be agreeable to Brookside proceeding with early start times if the
staff's concerns regarding the remaining conditions can be met.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Continued
She felt that the staff recommendation with respect to alcohol is
appropriate. Commissioner Caldwell stated she is concerned with
the parity issue where there are other clubs in the area that do
permit alcohol consumption on their sites and cited a policy used
by Saratoga Woods Club where the Board reviews and approves
specific functions where alcohol is served. She suggested that
policy might be considered by Brookside if the alcohol prohibition
is lifted.
Chairperson Tucker said she stated she understood the problems with
landscaping because of the drought but thought an airtight fence
could have been installed. She stated that since the alcohol
prohibition was in the use permit initially she felt that removing
it will create problems and could not vote in favor of removing the
prohibition.
BURGER MOVED TO AMEND UP -574.1 TO ALLOW ALCOHOL TO BE SERVED AT THE
BROOKSIDE CLUB WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THE BACKBOARD BE REMOVED
FROM THE BASKETBALL STANDARD; THAT THE REPAIR OF THE FENCE BE
COMPLETED; THAT THE CLUB WORK WITH STAFF REGARDING INVESTIGATION OF
THE COMPLETION OF THE LANDSCAPING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE FENCE AND
COMPLETE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE WATER DISTRICT REGARDING THE
POSSIBILITY OF LANDSCAPING ON THE DISTRICT'S SIDE IF IT WILL BE
MAINTAINED.
City Attorney Toppel indicated it was his understanding that the
condition regarding landscaping should be explored by staff but is
not a condition for the early start time and that the Commission,
would be agreeable to the early start time even though the
landscaping issue is still under discussion by the time of the
first scheduled meeting.
Commissioner Siegfried suggested the following amendment to the
motion:
AMEND UP -574.1 TO REMOVE THE ALCOHOL PROHIBITION SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: (1) THAT THE BACKBOARD OF THE BASKETBALL
STANDARD BE REMOVED BEFORE THE NEXT SWIM MEET THAT REQUIRES AN
EARLY START TIME; (2) THAT THE FENCE REPAIRS, IF NOT COMPLETED, BE
CLEARLY SCHEDULED AND STAFF BE ADVISED; AND (3) THAT THE ISSUE OF
LANDSCAPING BE LEFT TO STAFF; AND (4) THAT THE WORD "AIRTIGHT" BE
REMOVED FROM THE FENCING CONDITION.
Commissioner Burger was agreeable to the amendment to the motion;
the motion was seconded by Commissioner Moran. Passed 6 -1;
Chairperson Tucker was opposed.
