TS 93-01 Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Mark Tersini, on behalf of KT Properties, for approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map to allow the creation of 37 single-family lots on property located at 710 West Sunnyoaks Avenue, in a R-143 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District. Mr. Steve Piasecki, Director of Planning, presented the staff report, noting the following: * The applicant's request to subdivide the property in order to create 37 single-family lots. * Site location, size of the lots and street access. * Zoning and General Plan consistency. * Background of a previous proposal by Ainsley Development which included relocation of the existing percolation ponds. The current application does not propose relocating the percolation ponds. * The property is located within the San Tomas Study area. Mr. Piasecki reviewed the policies and standards being examined for future developments in the area, and informed the Commission and the applicant of the potential that new development standards may be adopted for the San Tomas Area prior to construction of the proposed development. * Access to the percolation ponds. * Minimal traffic impacts. * Concerns of the Planning Staff relating to neighborhood access to the percolation ponds, pedestrian access through the site, provision of a pedestrian easement at the southerly boundary of the site, implementation of the Open Space Element, and preservation of two significant oak trees and a number of walnut trees. These concerns have been addressed in the recommended Conditions of Approval. * The applicant has proposed a street width right-of-way of 52 feet vs. 56 proposed for the cul- de-sac, and fully improved curbs, sidewalks, and gutters. * The Santa Clara Valley Water District is concerned about the property number and configuration of lots, however, the Planning Staff believes that these concerns can be resolved between the Water District and the applicant. * The Fire Department prefers a 14 foot emergency access. * Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that City Council approve the application with the recommended Conditions of Approval. Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 2 Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy and Mr. Piasecki discussed placing a covenant on preserving the mature trees cited. Commissioner Perrine asked about correspondence from the Santa ClaraValley Water District which indicated its objection to the proposed development. Commissioner Wilkinson provided the comments from the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting of May 13, 1993. He noted staff's recommendation to require pedestrian access in a north/south axis through the site, and explained that he and Commissioner Fox were split on requiring such an easement, due to security and maintenance. Commissioner Fox asked if the City of Campbell would maintain the pedestrian access suggested by Staff, and Mr. Tim Haley, Associate Planner, indicated that the City would not maintain the proposed pedestrian access. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Public Comment: Ms. Rita Pennington, 1189 Capri Drive, representing the Capri Estates, questioned the traffic report prepared by the the applicant's traffic engineer, relating to potential traffic impacts in the area. She asked that access on the west side of the property be developed along Sunnyoaks Avenue. Ms. Dawn Vadbunker, 1360 Burrows Road, supported staff's recommendations to require pedestrian access to the percolation ponds and pedestrian access through the development, however, asked that the homes in the cul-de-sac be limited to one-story, that the street widths be limited and that no sidewalks be required to be consistent with other developments in the San Tomas Study Area. Ms. Mary M. Fitzgerald, 672 Sunnyoaks Avenue, expressed concern relating to staff's recommendation for pedestrian access to the percolation ponds. She indicated that current property owners were told that the land cited for the acqess belongs to the residents and is being used by residents as garden plots. Further, she noted the amount of pedestrian cut- through traffic that currently occurs through the orchard, suggesting that the recommended access may benefit the majority of Campbell residents. Mr. Bryan Suit, 838 Sunnyp~trk Court, expressed concern that pedestrian traffic is a security issue and should not be required. He suggested that Capri Drive be extended to avoid cut- through traffic, and asked if the proposal includes two-story homes. Mr. Kevin Fedrickson, Nowack & Associates, 2775 Park Avenue, Santa Clara, representing the applicant, discussed the following: * The application proposed is for less than the allowable density. * The lessor street widths allows for larger lots. * The mature trees on the site will be preserved, if possible; that grading of the land for the development may threaten preservation of one of the trees. * Concerns relating to the staff recommendation are: 1) the easement for pedestrian Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 3 access poses a safety concern; 2) the provision of access to the percolation ponds poses a maintenance issue; and, 3) providing a covenant on tree preservation. He asked for support and addressed the following concerns raised by the public: a. Some two-story homes may be considered, however, the project is not far enough along to determine the development style at this time. b. Providing access through the property via extending Capri Drive would create more traffic than the current configuration. Mr. Brian Avery, 130 East Dana Street, Mountain View, representing a 198 unit housing development adjacent to the proposed development, asked why park dedication fees previously paid by his development coUld not be used to provide for pedestrian access to the Los Gatos Creek Trail. He stated that the park dedication fees were paid for community parks and he would like to see them used in that manner. He noted the dangerous conditions that exist when residents try to access the creek trail. He asked that the fence around the percolation ponds be removed, and that sidewalks be provided on one side of the street. Mr. Gary Sharon, 804 Sunnyarbor Court, expressed the following: * Pedestrian easement through the development is a safety concern. * Pedestrian access to the percolation ponds would allow residents to enjoy open space. * Concern with the wording used by Mr. Fedrickson, relative to saving the mature trees, "if possible." He stated that the arborist reports states that the trees can be retained, therefore, they should be retained and the grading of the land should not take precedent over the mature tree preservation. * He suggested that single-story homes be developed on the side of the property adjoining other single-story homes, and that two-story homes be developed on the side of the property where other two-story homes currently exist. Mr. Thomas Tamshen, 1058 Shady Dale Avenue, asked that oral presentations be limited to 5 minutes. Mr. Mark Tersini, KT Properties, the developer, addressed concerns expressed by citizens, as follows: * The arborist cannot predict how grading will affect the mature trees on the site. * Easements already exist that provide access into open space. * The Water District wishes to keep the percolation ponds fenced. Discussion between Mr. Tersini and Commissioner Fox ensued relating to providing an entrance for pedestrians into the percolation ponds and the alleged agreement between the developer and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Mr. Tersini stated that the Water District could provide a community service by providing maintenance and pedestrian access to the creek trail. Further, he stated that he was surprised to hear that the Water District was not supportive of the lot configuration, since they have been in contact with the Water District and the District had indicated support. Commissioner Wilkinson informed the Commission that three other areas for pedestrian access to the percolation ponds had been discussed at the Site and Architectural Review Committee Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 4 meeting and asked staff why these alternatives were not brought to the Commission's attention. Mr. Piasecki suggested that the other areas discussed were not appropriate for consideration, since two are located on Bedal Lane, and the other would be accessible only through another existing development. Commissioner Wilkinson was not supportive of access to the percolation ponds, citing concern that the ponds would be an attractive nuisance to youngsters in the area. Previous speakers reiterated the following concerns: * Residents would like access to open space. * The fence surrounding the percolation ponds should be removed. * San Tomas Policy should be imposed on this development. Commissioner Perrine was supportive of single-story homes on this site. He suggested continuing the item to allow staff, the Water District, and the applicant time to resolve the issues expressed at this public hearing. Mr. Kevin Fedrickson assured the Commission that all concerns mentioned by the Water District would and could be resolved with the Water District. Commissioner Perrine clarified that the Planning Commission does not currently have a five minute limitation for speakers wishing to address the Commission. Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy asked that the easement requested by the Fire Department be provided. She was supportive of continuing the item. Commissioner Fox expressed an interest in continuing the application to the meeting of June 22, 1993. Chairperson/klne indicated objection to preventing access to open areas, and stated that preservation of the mature trees should not give way to grading of the land. MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Fox, seconded by Commis~,r Meyer-Kennedy, the public hearing was unanimous~ continued to the regular Planning Commission meeting of June 22, 1993. The Planning Staff was directed to investigate resolution to the following concerns by the June 22, 1993, meeting: 1. Access for Fire Equipment during emergencies. 2. Written proof that agreement has been reached between the Water District and the applicant. 3. Consideration of maintaining pedestrian access to the percolation pond, only after finding out if the Water District would consider access to the ponds. 4. Addition of a Condition that would be so worded that retention of the existing Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 mature trees would occur, no matter what changes had to be made to the property configuration. No consideration be given to the suggested alternative to providing a street access through the project. Making pedestrian access to open space available by use of the park dedication funds that will be paid by the applicant. Mr. Piasecki asked if the Commission would like to have consideration given to the provision of an easement through the property for pedestrian/bicycle riders, and Commissioner Fox indicated that he was not interested in pursuing that suggestion. The Commission concurred. Chairperson Alne recessed the Commission at 8:55 p.m., and the meeting reconvened at 9:07 p.m., with all staff members and Commlr~ion members present. Chairperson Alne read Application No. 2 into the record. 2. M 93-06 Public Hearing to consider the application of Rauschenbach, Marvelli, Becker, Architects, on behalf of Sydon, for a modification to a previously approved Use Permit to allow the construction of a playground area on property located at 49 West Hamilton Avenue, in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District. Ms. Gloria M. Sciara, Planner I, presented the Staff report noting the following: * The applicant's request, and background of the existing Burger King establishment. * Site location, building design and materials. * Landscaping, building coverage, and parking. * Zoning and General Plan consistency. * Staff is recommending approval to modify the establishment to allow an enclosed play area, and requiring the applicant to provide additional trees along the property line. Commissioner Wilkinson provided the comments from the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting of May 13, 1993, noting that the Committee recommended approval, subject to the applicant satisfying the Fire Department's requirements, and revised landscape plan modifying the tree varieties proposed. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Public Comment: There was no public comment. MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Fox, the Public Hearing was unanimously closed. MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy, seconded by Commis~ Fox, Resolution No. 2853 was adopted, approving modification to a previously approved Application No. UP 76-13, with the recommended findings, subject to the Conditions of Approval Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 6 including the Fire Department's requirements and additional trees and tree types, by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: NOES: Commissioners: ABSENT: Commissioner: Perrine, Meyer-Kennedy, Akridge, Lindstrom, Wilkinson, Fox, Alne None None Chairperson Alne read Ite~n No. 3 into the record. 3. UP 93-05 Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Diep Nguyen for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a mini-mart with beer/wine sales on property located 2050 South Bascom Avenue, in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Ms. Gloria M. Sciara, Planner I, presented the Staff report noting the following: * The applicant's request, and proposed hours of operation. * Site location, and floor area ratio. * The property does not meet the development standards for the Zoning District in terms of parking, landscaping and screening. * The proposed use is allowable in the General Commercial Zoning District. * Staff is recommending denial of the proposed application, since the presented plan does not provide appropriate trash enclosures, screening for sound attenuation and mechanical equipment, ample parking for the proposed use, and the use is incompatible to the residential area east of the project. Commissioner Fox asked if the applicant was aware that the Planning Staff would not support his request. In response, Ms. Sciara stated that the applicant had been made aware of staff's objections, but opted to go ahead with the application anyway. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Public Comment: Mr. Thomas Tamshen, 1058 Shady Dale Avenue, objected to the proposal because of potential noise on the site. Residential units are located within 50 feet of the proposed use. He discussed current problems associated with the bar located within the neighboring Denny's Restaurant. Mr. Randy Kay, 1085 Arroyo Seco Drive, objected to the proposal because of sound impacts, traffic and trash blowing into his yard from the mini-mart patrons. Ms. Annie Cavallaro, 1227 Arroyo Seco Drive, voiced objections to the proposed application because of the following: * Speeding traffic along the street due to the Denny's Restaurant. * Potential litter from patrons. * Inadequate parking. Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 7 Loitering. The adjacent residential family neighborhood is an inappropriate place for a mini-mart that sells beer and wine. Ms. Cavallaro submitted a petition from the adjacent residential area asking that the Commission deny the application. Mr. Thomas Tamshen added that if the Commission reviewed current traffic levels along the proposed mini-mart street frontage, it should find reason to deny the application. Morut Milo-Budriunas, 1209 Arroyo Seco Drive, objected to the proposed application. Herb Weinman 14475 Shannon Road, Los Gatos, objected to the proposed use due to the following: * He owns a three bed-room home five feet away from the fence between the existing Denny's Restaurant and has problems with trash, noise and delivery trucks. * He reported on several other mini-market establishments in the area and cited problems associated with that type of use. * Fear that the parking will overflow into the neighborhood streets. Mr. Paul Pries, 1759 Curtner Avenue, San Jose, CA 95124, the property owner, requested that the Commission approve his application. He presented the following arguments against denial of the application. * Parking would not be a problem, since cars visiting his establishment would be staying a limited amount of time. * The purpose of the proposed use is to serve the community's residents. * It would be unfair to deny his application, when Denny's Restaurant/Bar is an allowable use. * Times for truck deliveries could be specified. * The proposed application would provide a good tenant for his commercial center. MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Fox, seconded by Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy, the Public Hearing was unanimously closed. Commissioner Wilkinson, whose microphone was dysfunctional, asked staff to see about getting the microphone fixed. The Commi.c, sion concurred. Commission Comment: Commissioner Fox indicated his duty to examine the compatibility of the use with the neighboring community.

Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the Staff report noting the following: * The applicant's request for a two year extension of the previously approved application to provide 32 townhomes on the proposed site. The applicant is also requesting phasing of the project. Staff will support two construction phases, however, would recommend a one year extension only. * Background of the Planned Development Permit, which has lapsed. * The Final Subdivision Map is processed. * The City Manager, in conjunction with other department heads, has agreed to waive additional Park Impact Fees imposed since the original approval, due to the project's proximity to the downtown redevelopment area. * Staff has reviewed and revised the previously adopted Conditions of Approval, deleting those conditions that have already been satisfied by the applicant. * There have been no changes to the General Plan or Zoning in the area since the City Council's original approval. * Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution, incorporating the attached findings, subject to the revised Conditions of Approval, forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to approve reinstatement of the project. Further, that the Commission recommend limiting the development schedule to one year for commencement of construction. Commissioner Perrine asked about the City Council's policy on extending a development schedule for more than one year, drawing attention to the current economic conditions. Mr. Haley stated that the City Council has not adopted a policy that would specifically limit development schedules to one year, however, he indicated that Council routinely limits development schedules to that period of time. Mr. Haley added that, if the applicant sees a Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 9 need for another extension, he can come back to the Commission at that time. Commissioner Wilkinson provided the comments from the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting of May 13, 1993, recommending City Council approval of the reinstatement. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Public Comment: Mr. Glenn Cahoon, G & G Design, representing the applicant, requested support for the reinstatement, indicating agreement to the Conditions of Approval as recommended by Staff.

UP 93-06 Public Hearing to consider request (a) of Mr. David Douds, on behalf of Kinko's Copies, for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a 24- hour business operation of approximately 5,400 square feet in an existing commercial building, located at 10 East Hamilton Avenue. The project site is located within a G-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District. Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, provided the Staff Report, noting the following: * The reason that the application is before the Commission is due to the request for a 24 hour operation. He noted the services offered by Kinko's Copies. * Location of the proposed operation at the intersections of Winchester Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue. * Staff will recommend that the Commission support the application because the Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 ]-0 proposed use is located such that it would not impact nearby area residents. Mr. Brad Krouskup, 150 Blueberry Drive, Los Gatos, General Partner of Campbell Gateway Square, Ltd., representing the Applicant, came forward and offered to provide answers if the Commission had questions relative to the above application. Commissioner Fox asked Mr. Krouskup to indicate the exact location being proposed for Kinko's, and Mr. Krouskup stated that the copy center would be located on the street frontages of Winchester Boulevard and Hamilton Avenue. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Don Anderson, 433 Esther Avenue, objected to a 24-hour establishment at the existing shopping center, noting that the previous public hearing indicated that residents located adjacent to the center had objected to Walgreen's original proposed hours of operation. Further, Mr. Anderson asked that the sign from Walgreens be turned off at 11:00 p.m., since it shines into his backyard all night. Ms. Norma Brown, 458 Esther Drive, voiced opposition to a 24-hour operation, due to traffic and noise. Mr. Brad Krouskup noted that the entrance to Kinko's is approximately 100 yards away from the residential properties and located at a major arterial intersection. He added that copying work generated during the normal working hours would be the focus of Kinko's nightly operation, that traffic to and from Kinko's would be minimal, and that the sign advertising Kinko's Copies would be facing the street, away from the residential properties. Mr. Hank Brown, 458 Esther Drive, opposed the 24-hour operation, noting that people visiting Kinko's Copies would park in the rear portion of the building and slam their car doors. MOTION: On motion of Commix4oner Fox, seconded by Commisdoner W'dldnson, the Public Hearing was unanimously dosed. Commissioners Fox and Wilkinson expressed support for the proposed use indicating that the service was useful to the residents of Campbell, and that the use being proposed, even on a 24-hour basis, would generate minimal traffic and/or customers in the late evening hours. Chairperson Alne was supportive of the proposed operation, however, suggested a six-month review of the use. Commissioner Fox argued that it would be unfair to allow the applicant to lease and move into the center, and then subject him to review within six months. Chairperson Alne conceded to Commissioner Fox's argument. Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 MOTION: On motion of Com~ Fox, seconded by Com~ AkrMge, Resolution No. 2856, was adopted approving UP 93-06 (a) allowing the 24-hour operation of a a~ cent~, udth the recommended findings, suqect to the Conditions of Approval.

Mr. Tim J. Haley, presented the Staff report noting the following: * The applicant is requesting approval to remodel an existing commercial building, including a new roof, and fascade. * Location, size and parking. * The Architectural Advisor's comments suggesting minor modifications to the fascade. * History of the application. * Staff is recommending additional landscaping beyond that recommended by the Site and Architectural Review Committee, on May 13, 1993. A revised site plan was displayed for the Planning Commission. * Staff is recommending approval subject to re-submittal of revised plans and elevations, addressing staff's recommended changes to the landscaping and the building fascade, for approval by the Planning Director. Commissioner Wilkinson asked if the plans displayed are different than those reviewed by the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting, and those provided to the Commission in their packets. Mr. Haley stated that the plans have been modified by staff and are different. Commissioner Wilkinson asked the Chair for additional time to review the newly submitted plans. After having reviewed the revised plans, Commissioner Fox stated that revisions made by staff relative to the parking and providing an entrance off La Pradera Drive were not acceptable and not workable. He further pointed out that staff attended the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting, where the applicant and the Committee agreed to require landscaping and the addition of trees and tree wells along La Pradera Drive. Commissioner Fox expressed his surprise to see the revisions displayed and recommended by staff. Planning Commission Minutes of May 25, 1993 3.3 Commissioner Fox noted that statTs plan would eliminate several parking spaces, and asked if the applicant has reviewed staff's revisions. Mr. Haley stated that the applicant had seen the revised plans and was not supportive of the changes. Commissioner Wilkinson provided the Site and Architectural Review Committee's report of May 13, 1993, recommending approval of the applicant's proposal. He also noted his surprise to see the revised plans submitted by staff. Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing. Public Comment: Mr. Kurt B. Anderson, architect, KBA Architects, explained that he had seen the revision made by staff and could not accept the changes because they would be too costly to the property owner. He asked that the Commission approve the plans recommended for approval by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. Mr. Frank Fettig, 81 North San Tomas Aquino Road, provided the following information: * His bedroom is located 100 feet from the commercial building. * He is supportive of the applicant providing trees and shrubs along La Pradera Drive to assist in buffering noise. * He prefers to have the driveway along La Pradera Drive eliminated. * Because the driveway is too narrow, semi-trucks coming in all hours of the evening jump the curb, which is disturbing at 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. Commissioner Meyer-Kennedy noted that Nob Hill Food Store has been closed for several months, and asked Mr. Fettig if he has noticed semi-trucks lately. Mr. Fettig stated that he has. Further he suggested that trucks exit the driveway after getting gas at the adjoining gas station. Mr. Anderson informed the Commission and Mr. Fettig of a plan being reviewed by the Planning Staff which would create another commercial building between the one under consideration and the gas station. He indicated that the new building would eliminate cut through traffic exiting from the gas station onto La Pradera Drive. He asked that the Commission retain the current driveway along La Pradera Drive. Mr. Fettig stated that if another building was built, there would be even more traffic. MOTION: Public Hearing was unanimoudy closed. MOTION: On motion of Commissioner Perrine, seconded by Commissioner Akr~, Resolution No. 2858, was adopted approving the Site and Architectural Permit as submitted by the Nos. 1 and 3.
