XII. NEN BUBXNESS
&. Review of Procedure for Naming Streets - this item was
continued to the next meeting.
B. Review of a Proposed Subdivision at 14555 Big Basin Way
The Commission was requested to review this application which
involves the removal of an existing old barn.
The history and age of the structure is not known. From the
appearance and location of the structure it seems that the
barn is a very old structure which may have been used as a
stable or a blacksmith store. The Commission felt that
although the age of the structure is not known the barn still
fit in with the historic context of the Village and should be
preserved. The Commission also felt the natural fabric of the
Village should be preserved by maintaining the current density
and existing open spaces within the Village. Consequently the
Commission recommended that the barn be preserved if possible
by relocation. If demolition is necessary the Commission
recommended the wood of the structure be used on the site or
as part of the proposed building.
C. Fences and Walls along Saratoga Avenue
This item was continued to the next HP Commission meeting on
11/?/90.
XV. ITIN~ YAF~TX&TID BY THE COMMISSION
A. New Street Name
In the last meeting the Commission recommend "Blenheim Court"
as a street name for a new cul de sac off Ten Acres Road.
However the representatives of the residents on this street
prefer the name " Tuscany Court" and requested the
Commission's reconsideration. The Commission felt that the
name Tuscany Court is also appropriate for the neighborhood.
The Commission approved the name Tuscany Court as proposed by
the residents.
Staff will prepare a draft procedure for naming streets for
the Commission' s review.
