IV. SCHEDDT,RD MA'I'I~F~;
A. ADMINISTRATi~E REPORTS
1. Revie~ of Proposals for Paul Masson Property Study
Cu~.l~unity Development Director explained that the staff had contacted the three
"full-service" consultants to request further information on their proposals. Repre-
sentatives of the fixms were given the floor: Don Skinner of PFE; Steve Spickard
of ERA; and Jo Julin and Jan Newton of ESA. They made their presentations and
answered Councilmembers' questions. Councilmember Hlava stated that she preferred
ESA bedause their proposal most nearly fit what she felt Saratog~ ought to be doing
in terms of their willingness to re-look at the traffic situation fron Saratoga
Center, their phased approach, their emphasis on econonic benefit and traffic .m%alysis,
and their reasonable ~_~Dst. CounCilmember Callon also preferred ESA; she noted
that she would like t~> have a land use plan at scxne point, but that if the Ccx~ncil
accepted Phase 1 of ~J)e ESA proIx>sal they could then consider other options without
making a coF~nitment ~> Phase 2. She. did not consider definitive market analysis
necessary at titis tire). Councilmember Moyles"favored the ESA proposal as well,
believing that it best struck a balance between the danger and opportunity offered
by the subject parcel. That:proposal also had cum~nity values as its starting
point, which was apprc~Driate in his view. Mayor Fanelli agreed that ESA seemed
to have best .reflected what was needed most at the present time.
CALLONTHIAVA MOVED TO AOJEF~ THE ESA PROPOSAL AS TO PHASE 1 AS DESCRIBED ~N THE
ESA PROPOSAL FOR THE PAI/L MASSON SITE. Passed 5-0.
Councilmenber Callon asked that staff request a representative of ESA contact her
in order to arrange a meeting with the Planning Conrsissi~n chairperson. Mayor
Fanelli expressed appreciation for all the consultants' time and efforts. She
then proceeded to public hearings on the agenda, since the hour of 8:00 had arrived.
Noting that she would not participate in the first public hearing, she asked Vice
Mayor Clevenger to preside. Mayor Fanelli left her seat as a Councilmember. and
did not participate in the first public hearing in any way.
V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Appeal of Denial of Tentative Building Site Approval for Subdivision of
2.64 Acres into 3 lots at 20045 Mendelsohn lane (Appellant/applicant, L.
Liccardo) (SDR 2L590)
Coqrmanity DeveloE~nent Director explained appeaL. and answered Councilmembers' ques-
· tions. The public hes/ring was opened at 8:30 p.m.
Bill Gissler rose to sE~lk as the appticant's engineer. He reiterated the points
in his appeal letter and added that the sewer line would go along the property
lines between parcels rather th2tn along Wildcat Creek as implied .in the letter
from the Varneys. ·
Leonard Liccardo then spoke as the applicant, stating that the site was unique.
No one further appearing to spe.a~_, the__public hearing_~_s I_.c.~osed a~_~8.:42 p.m.
Councilmember.Hlava expressed the view that the site was indeed unique. It was
vezy buil~hle, she felt, end the floo<ting danger could be mitigated. Furthermore,
the proposed sewer line could allo~ renoval of the pu~p station. The previously-.
existing terracing was, she believed, a. special cirul]mstance. She proposed, however,
that the house be limi~_=d to single story for the sake of privacy. Councilmember
Callon agreed except with respect to the single-story limitation, feeling that
that decision should be left to the design review ccellittee, since a single-story
house would have more oDverage of a lot than a two-story house of the san~ floor
area. Councilmember Cl~_=~enger col~l~_nted that she could see no reason to limit
the property to two lots rather than three.
HIAVA/CALLON MOVED TO ~?PROVE THE NEGATIVE DECLARATICN CN SDR 1590. Passed 4-0
(Fanelli abstaining).
HLAVA/MOYLES MOVED ~O GRANT THE APPEAL, MAKING THE NECESSARY F]]qDINGS %'3 GRAB~
AN EXCEPTiCEq TO THE SIDPE DtlNSITY REQUI~S AND TO FIND THAT THE PROJECT
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE G~4ERAL PLAN. Passed 4-0.
Mayor Fanelli then returned to her seat and resumed her duties as Mayor.
B. Appeal of Approval of Tentative Subdivision Map for 55-1ot Subdivisicn
on a 47.5 Acre site in the NHR District located just South of the Inter-
section of Prospect Rd. and the 'SPRP, Tracks (Appellants, R. Czowther
et al.; applicant, Frenont Union High School District) (SD 1567)
Cc~nur~ity DeveloIment Director explained .issues. Mr. Ibppel of the City
Attorney' s Office observed that, contrary to the Notice of Appeal, he had not
told the Plen.ning CcrmmisSion that the project did' not cc,,~31y with State lawF
he had said that it did cuLply with State law, but there was a difference of
opinion between himself and the applicant as ~, the 'application of State law.
He noted that he had not been personally inVo"! 'r'ed in l the stipulation for ·
settle~lent and saw no conflict of interest even if i be had been. As to the
appellants' suggestion that the Attorney General be consulh~d, he stated that
that person could be consul~-=d on matters of conflict of interest bug not on
matters of land use. The public hearing was opened at 8:53 p.m.
RuSsell Crowther, 20788 Norada Ct., spoke as a representative of the appellants.
He .stated that there were 42 appellants, five of whose signatures had not been
reproduced for the CouncilS' and an, additional signature frcTa Peter Chalfant
which had not been. submitted by the appellants. He then reiterated the points
in the appeal letters, adding that the City Attorney had told the Planning
CcFanission that the project was not consistent with the General Plan or the
zoning. He asserted that the CUL~L~SSiOnerS had. acted on the City Attorney' s
direction to ignore the inconsistency and approve the project under the
stipulated settlenent. He then stated his belief that the settlenent was
illegal because it u~dercut the initiative measure limiting growth on the
hillsides; the initiative measure was not defended properly in court; the
settlenent changed both the General Plan and the initiative measure without
due process. Further, he said, the settlement reduced the size of a park
specified as a certain Size in the General Plan, even though the park was not
the subject of the litigation. Lastly, he felt the residence height sheul~t
be limited to 18 .feet.
lawrence Bates, 20786 Lowena Ct., spoke as c~e of the appellants, saying that
the law is a search for equity be~een the rights of individuals and the rights
of society. He felt that this' should would allow the General Plan to take
precedence over the stipulated settlement.
Peter Chalfant, Kreisler Court, spoke in favor of the appeal, noting that the
Govermnent Cede requires a tentative map to be consistent with the General
Plan.
Frank Chris~ Jr., spoke as legal representative for the school district. He
stated that the City Attorney' s interpretation of the legal issues was correct,
and he noted that those filing frivolous lawsuits must pay legal costs.
Bill Heiss then 'spoke as engineer for the project. He reviewed the history
of the approval, stated that flooding was not a problem, and remarked that
every iten being appealed had been thoroughly discussed in the approval process.
Mayor Fanelli then noted that Condition V.E. was still listed in the report,
although she had been informed that the Central Fire District had withdrawn
· the condftion. Douglas Sporleder, Chief of the Central Fire District, then
rose to state his understanding that the fire district was to discuss the
condition at a study session. Coaneilmembers stated their recollection that
· the decision had been made not to impose the condition.
Mayor Fanelli then inquired as to the condition restricting height of vegetation~
Staff replied that residents of the area would enforce it rather than City
employees.
In answer to Councilmember Clevenger, Planner Flores replied that the houses
were of different heights in an attempt to add variety to the s/htivision.
Councilsmember Clevenger then pointed out that, with respect to the proposed
park, the city had wished t~ buy proper~y to enlarge it beyond what would be
dedicated; since no funds for that purpose had been foun~, the idea had been
dropped and the park returned to its original Size.
In answer to Council/Fember Hlava, Planner Flores stated that the walkway off
Norada Ct. had been deleted. Councilmember Hlava felt the waLkway was needed
to provide park access to that area of the City. Councilmember Callon suggested
that the walkway be replaced and, at a later time, blocked off if necessary.
3-4/17/85
4 -4/17/85'
Mr. Toppel of the City Attorney's Office noted that an offel' of dedication 13Duld
be made without o~ming the waLkway at present~
In answer to CouncilmembeE C~llon, Cc~.~k/nity Develotment Director stated fruit
thee were no pedestrim~ facilities within the subdivision, although there w~s
one on the adjacent Parker Ranch land.
Mr. Crowther rose agajn to state that he believed there was access via eage~Bnts
on each side of the! creek and via the railroad tracks. He felt it inappropriate
for a trail .to end on a conczete street when other accesses existed. City Manager
stated that the creek easements were not available to the public.
H.S. Van Loon, Norada Court,, stated that he lived n~ar the walkway and felt it was
a problem because of [edestriens traversing the area after parRing on Norads Ct.
He objected to the area beccming foal access to a park, believing that ~Duld
exacerbate the problems.
In answer to Mayor Fanelli, 'C~,,.unity DeveloImlent Director stated that there was
no provision for a connectic~ at Kreisler Ct. for a walkway, but the gate co21d
be so cc~structed tx) provide it; Councilmember Hlava felt that would be a batter
solution. No one flirther appearing to speak, the public hearing was closed at
9:~0 p.m.
Councilmenber Callon cu~,lented that she wented a pedestrian ecnnectien which would
also be suitable for bicycles, not only for park use between the two subdivi-~;ions,
but also for general use between the~n, as long as it were only for pedestria~is
and bicyclists. Councilmember Hlava pointed out that it would also be desirable
for children bicycling to school.
In answer to CoenCilmember Callon, Mr. Toppel of the City Atto~ney's Office stated
that when the settlement agreeTent was negotiated, it was consistent with the General
Plan in force as of that date. The map, he said, was consistent with the settlement
agreenent, so that ~e developer had a ·right to proceed in accordance with the agree-
mento The' Council's options, he added, were either to repudiate the agreeTent,
in which case the sdlool district would probably take appropriata legal action,
or to make the interpretatien that the requirenents of .State law concerning
consistency have been met and that the settlenents were not overturned by subse-
quent zc~ing changes. The Planning Cu~,~asSion made the finding that the tentative
map was cc~sistent with the agreement and that the agreement was cc~sistent with
· the General Plan in' force at the time the agreement .was negotiated, he said~
Ccmm/nity Develotment Director then inquired as to the Council 's direction as to
whether the park Site. should be public or private. After brief discussion, there
was consensus to defer that decision to a later meeting.
CALIDN/HLAVA NDVED TO DENY APPEAL OF APPROVAL OF SD 1567 AND TO MDDIFY THE
CONDITIONS OF THE M~P BY DR~,RTING CONDITION V.E. Re'PiRR3ING TO A FEE FOR A NEW FIRE
ST~tTION, PROVIDING PEDESTRLAN AND BICYCT,R ACCESS WHICH ~DULD NOT BE USABLE
BY MDTORIZED VEHICLES THROUGH AT THE KREISLER CT. LOCATION BET~k~I4 THE ARGUFItO
SUBDM SION AND THE R~HOOL SI'~E SUBDM SION, AND DRLETING THE PEDESTRIAN PATH
NOW SHOWN. Passed 5-0.
Councilmember Fbyles f~lented that the issue is at least ten years old. It
would not be rational,. he believed, to assume that all further development
would have to meet the lesser standards of the settlement, and itlwould not
serve a useful purpose to attempt to apply the stricter standard retroactively.
He concluded by noting that the settlement agreement had keen signed by some
Councilmembers who were more fervent enviror~nentalists than he; thus it was
easily good enough for him.
Councilmember Hlava stated that the Planning Cum,~ssion had listened and discussed
the issues thoroughly. While the inmediate neighbors are concerned, she said,
those involved .had done a good job.
Councilmember Callon .stated that as to non-legal issues she found in favor
of the school .district representatives; as to legal issues, she relied upon
the advice of the City Attorney. She then pointed out that, contrary to the
appellant's suggestion,, the settlement agreement was a part of the public process
and was adopted at a p~jDlic'meetjjng.
Mayor Fanelli then recessed the meeting frem 9:44 to 9:59 p.m. When the meeting
~as reconvened, she ret~hrned to it~ns precedjag public hearings on the agenda.
5-4/17/85
2. Deferred T-~?rove~_nt Agre~m~lt, SI)R 1517, Oak St., Zambetti
(bmmunity Development Director explained issues, noting that the Gaines parcel would
be widened, so it would be logical to widen the subject area at the same time.
Councilmembers discussed plans submitted by Mr. Zambetti, who explained them
further.
,~EVENGER/CALLON MOVt1) TO CALL THE TERMS OF THE D~'~R~D IMPRC~..~.~ AGRRR. M~NT FOR
MR. ZAMBETTI TO CONSTRUCT THE MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS Tri2~ FRONTAGE OF THE
PROPERTY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GAINES iMPROVEMENTS. ~(Clerk's note: After further
discussion, the motion-was _withdrawn and not voted upon.)
Councilmembers discussed the possibility of widening the entire street now or at a
future date and expressed reluctance to change a condition which had previously been
agreed upon. Community Development Director offered to research the Streets and
Highways Code and report at the next meeting. There was consensus to continue the
item' to the next meeting for that purpose.
3. ~]m~nistrative AppPal of De~I of Business License for Pizza Parlor
in Argonaut Sh~ing Center (Appellant/~licant, A. Karavaras)
Community Development Director explained appeal. Mr. Karavaras stated that he did
not wish to apply for a variance for parking spaces because the process would be too
time-consuming. He believed that parking was adequate. Councilmembers directed
that the matter be returned to the PlannL~g Commission so that Mr. Karavaras could
clarify the change in type of restaurant and apply for a variance. They also
expressed the view that the parking area was adequate for the intended use and
requested that the Council minutes indicating that opinion be made available to the
Ccimnission.
4. l~eport ~ Request for Locked Gate by Vicke_ry Lane Residents
Community Development Director reviewed history of request. Tim Nobriga, Vickery
T~ne, was permitted to speak. He stated that the Council had not been informed that
the path crossed private property, and the path was not addressed in the Environmen-
tal Impact Report because it had been a last-minute additior~ Community Develop-
ment Director clarified that there was an easement for the minimum access road and
pedestrian walkway. In answer to Mayor Fanelli, he stated that the proposed gate
would reduce traffic. Councilmember Clevenger stated that she favored the present
gate because it allowed pedestrian traffic while precluding motorized or bicycle
traffic. Mr. Toppel of the City Attorney's Office pointed out that if the road is
private, the owners could close the access. Councilmembers Callon, Hlava, and
Clevenger felt the access was useful for pedestrians, joggers and school children.
Councilmember Moyles noted that he had previously felt uncomfortable about the
access and felt that a locked gate should be required. Mayor Fanelli expressed
reluctance to change an approved condition.
CI,RVEN~/CALLON MOVED TO REAFFIRM COUNCIL'S EARLIER POSITION THAT Pt~DESTRIAN ACCESS
BE ALLOWE~ OVER SAN JOSE WAT~I{ COMPANY EASt~4ENT. Passed 4-1 (Moyles opposed).
5. Report on Plans for ~an.dicapped Accessibility Improvements to
Housing and -Community Development Coordinator explained plans 'and answered
questions, noting that an additional $300-400 could be spent for a metal railing at
the Senior Center entrance. There was consensus to approve the plans with the
railing. Councilmember Clevenger reported that she, the HCD Coordinator and the
Community Development Director were to meet to determine the feasibility of using
CDBG funds for Village Parking District #3.

Community Development Director explained corrections to area being annexed. An
additional area had k~ean inadvertently omitted from those notified of the proposed
action, he said, but on the advice of bond counsel he planned to proceed with its
annexation, since residents would have an opportunity to express any protests at the
required public hearing. Bill Phillips rose again to request annexation of the area
between the railread tracks and Dagmar off Saratoga, which he had mentioned during
Oral Communications. There was consensus to do so. The City Manager stated that Mr.
Phillips should notify his neighbors so that they would also have an opportunity to
eaqDress their opinions. Councilmember Clevanger suggested planting vegetation now
along Bonnet Way, as well as along the rest Qf the Corridor, so that it would form
screen later.

City Manager reported that he had met with the Public Safety Commission C~airperson
and Lt. Wilson concerning modification of the Friday evening patrol; additional
reserve units were to be used on Friday evenings to handle vandalism and disruptive
parties. He stated that this would be a very cost-effective manner of dealing with
the problem. In answer to Councilmember Moyles, he stated that the reserve officers
were sworn,. although they do not have all the training that regular officers have;
they do carry weapons. Councilmember Callon remarked that the Council should have
special reports on their activity. City Manager replied that this would be done.
He then reported on activities of the supplementary traffic patrol which had been
activated 4/8.
~he subject of the enormous increase in County Communication charges was brought up,
and Mayor Fanelli requested that a report be placed on the next study session

of reserves, although it was a stop-gap measure until the end of the fiscal year.

Hlava - _reported that a resident had contacted her concerning law enforcement and
was awaiting a response frem the City.
Clevengef - reported that she had contacted TJKM, the Highway 85 design consultants,
to request quick action on the next report and would continue to centact them.
- reported that the school districts had not all responded to the school
site questionnaire.
- reported that a resident on Bohlman Road had called the 911 emergency
number and was told that she would not get a response because she did not give a
street address. Community Development Director stated that there were street num-
bers, but they were not always easily visible or much used. Councilmembers said
that the 911 agency required an address in order to deal with a call through its
computer. City Manager noted that 911 was not the quickest avenue for emergency
response, and that 911 was not a City function or service in any case. He
recommended that residents of streets such as Bohlman Rd. call the appropriate
emergency agency directly. Councilmember Clevenger suggested that this advice be
circulated and that residents be told that they may obtain their addresses from the
City Hall if they do not know them.
Fanelli - requested that the Council adopt a resolution on Older Americans Month
at the next meeting. Consensus to do so.
