Deblin I - Appeal of the Planning Commission decision regarding tentative map to subdivide a .73 acre parcel into three parcels, 10840 Bubb Road, Application 3-TM-98. Continued from January 4. Community Development Director Bob Cowan reviewed the staff report and Public Works Director Bert Viskovich summarized the drainage patterns in the city and this development. He said these lots currently drain to the rear, not to the street, and discussed methods to address the drainage problem and showed some slides of examples in other neighborhoods. These solutions could include making the flow easier, raising the property, or using a pumping facility. Ms. Rebecca Casciani, 7985 Pumpkin Court, said she was representing 57 people in that neighborhood. Their primary concern was the drainage to Pumpkin Court, and also that there will be 3 large homes equivalent in size to 6 homes in the Autumn Garden neighborhood. She said the developer has not actively pursued the drainage issue with the neighbors and has threatened to use the right of public domain. The developer has not engaged in true negotiations with the neighbors regarding the drainage or the look of the homes being proposed. She asked that the item be sent back to the Planning Commission. Ms. Casciani also highlighted the proposed property swap for an easement, which was rejected by the developer. Mr. Jack Summers, 8011 Pumpkin Court, said he owned one of the properties that would be adversely impacted by the request for an easement. None of the three options for drainage that were highlighted tonight would fit in the proposed easement. In one of the Sanuary 19, 1999 Cupert/no City Council Page 4 -- options, the water would settle against the house foundation. It is his understanding that the developer wants to install a 12-inch pipe through the area that serves as ingress and egress for his backyard. Mr. Martin Wolfson, 8019 Pumpkin Court, said he owned the lot next to Mr. Summers. If the easement goes up the north side of his property it will take all of the space on the north side. There are already tecruite problems there, and the additional dampness will increase the problem. He suggested to the builder that the property be raised so it would drain to Bubb Road. Mr. Wolfson said these other proposals would not solve the drainage problem, and he had measured a sto~, in 1962 which had a flow of 300 gallons a minute flowing through the south side of his property. Mr. Leslie Bumell, 21466 Holly Oak Drive, said there is another property on the same side as this proposed development, and whatever action is taken regarding these will affect that one as well He said he had attended several of the Planning Commission meetings and they had done a good job on apparent size reductions, etc., and if there is minimal impact, the developer should try to incorporate the suggestions that came out of those meetings. Mr. Burnell said that the properties along Bubb Road were graded to flow to Bubb. If this property had been developed at the same time it would have been graded too. The drainage is a major problem but his main concern was the sledge- hammer use of eminent domain. Also, the drainage solutions proposed would do aesthetic damage and devalue the property. He asked that the project go back before the Planning Commission. Mr. Mike McDowell, 7974 Pumpkin Drive, said the developer had not made a sufficient effort to resolve the problem with the neighbors. Mr. McDowell also said that Pumpkin Drive becomes flooded during storms, as it is intended to do, with the current layout of property, but it is washing out the park strips. If there is a larger sto~x-c~, more runoff from additional pavement, etc., the probl¢iii will get even worse. He discussed the drainage patterns which create pooling in one area near Cranberry Court. Mr. James Casciani, 7985 Pumpkin Court, remarked upon the overland flow options. He said that the neighbor most open to negotiation was turned down by the developer. He discussed Mr. Childress' comments from the November 9 Planning Commission meeting regarding drainage options. He said the neighbors do not oppose the development, only the lack of planning on the developer's part and the threat of eminent domain. Mr. Dick. Childress said that he and one other person are the developers of this property. He clarified that the "heavy-handedness" was not their intent. At the time they entered into the agreement to purchase the property, they approached the City to ask about what would be required for public improvements. They met on the site with the city's public works representative and were told the city required a storm drain that would go to Bubb Road, and an overland release that would go out the back of the property. Therefore it would be the developer's obligation to get the easement, through eminent domain if necessary. The developers wrote to some of the neighbors, and with one, they received no counter proposals although most of them did not want the solution in their driveway. January 19, 1990 Cuper~no City Council Page The city asked the developers to hold off for a time while they investigated the overall drainage situation. Although the easement is a concern, the real problem is "Lake Cranberry". Mr. Cowan and Mr. Viskovich suggested that the city should meet with the neighbors first, so the developers decided to cease negotiations until they found out what was desired and required. The developers will work on whichever sto~-ih drain make sense. It was also stated that their intent was to build houses which are twice as large as the existing homes. However the developers have made no proposal to the city yet, they have only proposed three lots in an area that is zoned R-1 (6), to put in three 10,000 square foot lots. They are willing to work with the neighborsI-Ie asked that the Council uphold the approval by the Planning Commission and ask the public Works department about ways to address the pooling at Cranben~y Court.. In summary this project is one- tenth of one percent of the water in that area. James said that both parties seem willing to negotiate that there has been no conduit to make that happen. She felt this should go back to the Planning Commission and asked that the meeting be arranged between the Community Service Coordinator, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, and neighbors. Chang said he agreed with James. The residents appear to be frustrated over the situation and the developer sounds reasonable and open to negotiations and discussion. However, the city needs to address the problem with "Lake Cranberry". Bumett discussed house size and said the city is jnst about to act on this issue. It seems very awkward to build up the property to address this local drainage situation. The two most viable options seem to be the extension of the current situation. The total amount of water being added is quite small. Statton said the four options were: (1) Run a line back to the house along Pumpkin Court; (2) Run a smaller line with a pump out to Bubb Road; (3) Run a line to the right and through the back; or (4) Raise the level of the three parcels and let theih drain them naturally to Bubb Road. He felt the last two options were the best. The City Attumey said this decision should be kept at the City Council level, not returned to the Planning Commission. Any continuance should be with the approval of the applicant. James moved to continue this item and direct the staffto facilitate a meeting with the community and the developer. The Community Resourcos Officer and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator could work with community on other issues. Mr. Childress said he would accept the continuance in regard to his property, but he had no control over the Cranberry flooding issues. Chang said that the overall drainage issue also needed to be addressed. Dean agreed and said that it would be unfair to this developer to delay his project while waiting for decision on the overall drainage issue. lanuary 19, 1999 Cuper~no City Council Page Viskovich said that there are really two separate questions. One is how developer will treat to their drainage on this property. The other question is how to work with community to solve the overall drainage situation. ~/ames moved to continue this iteiii and have the developer meet with the neighbors. Chang suggested a friendly amendment to say that at some point in the near future the city will bring the neighborhood together to discuss other issues such as the flooding on Cranberry. Sames accepted the amendment. James moved to (1) Continue 3-TM-98 to February 1 and directed staff to facilitate a meeting with the neighbors and the developer regarding the drainage issue; and (2) Suggested that the Community Resources Coordinator and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator work with the community on other neighborhood issues. Chang seconded and the motion carded 5-0. PLANNING APPLICATIONS - None UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None NEW BUSINESS 17. Creating a No Parking Zone on De Anza Boulevard between Homestead Road and Bollinger Road. First reading of Urgency Ordinance No. 1806, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cupertino Amending Chapter 11.24.150 of the Cupertino Municipal Code Relating to the Establishment of Parking Prohibition Along Certain Streets, East Side of De Anza Boulevard From the Northerly City Limits to Bollinger Road." The Public Works Director announced that although this item was intended to be an urgency ordinance, it had not been written up as an urgency item so it required two readings. The City Clerk read the title of the ordinance. Burner moved and James seconded to read the ordinance by title only, and that the City Clerk's reading would constitute the first reading thereof. Motion carried 5-0. 18. Reconsideration procedures aRer City Council action - First reading of Ordinance No. 1807, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cupertino Adding Chapter 2.08.096 to the City's Ordinance Code Adopting a Process for Reconsideration." The City Clerk read the title of the ordinance. Burner moved and James seconded to read the ordinance by title only, and that the City Clerk's reading would constitute the fwst reading thereof. Motion carried 5-0. ffanuary 19, 1999 Cupertino City Council Page 7 19. Review options and provide direction for the expansion of the Senior Center. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Dowling reviewed the staff report. He reviewed a series of draft floor plans to be used in determining funding. He said the expansion committee reviewed all the demands identified in the needs assessment and produced a reasonable scope which addresses both current and future needs. He then reviewed the history of thc CIP budgeting. Mr. Mark Schatz, architect, discussed the 3 options as illustrated in the backup materials, one of which was a redesign of the existing building. All three options are single-story buildings which maximize the views and existing trees in the park, have improved circulation and entryways, and include a number of multi-purpose rooms. Option 1 is the preferred scheme by a majority of the committee. It is a U-shaped plan which opens out to the park. The primary entrance is at the end of a sheltered walkway from the parking lot, and a second entrance comes from the bus stop on Stevens Creek Boulevard. The reception hall will be a 2,000 square foot space which can be divided into 3 smaller rooms. Some of those rooms can be rented out for community use during non-senior center activity times. Mr. Schatz then reviewed thc preliminary budget figures (construction costs and overall project costs) for the three alternatives. Total cost for Option 1 was estimated at $4.4 million; Option 2 was $3.4 million; and Option 3 - (renovation) was $4.3 million. Mr. Schatz also reviewed some potential reductions in scope and deferrals which could apply to all three schemes. In all alternatives they recommend the construction of new restrooms for the park closer to the children's play area, which would cost about $200,000. He said these budget estimates were based upon the draft drawings now available, including the soils report and the foundation system. However, they still do not have full engineer's documents for construction, mechanical, and electrical systems. They believe these figures are very realistic numbers based on other projects of this scale. Ms. Kathy Nellis, representing the Senior Center Expansion Advisory Committee, said their first step .had been to identify the seniors' needs. Next, they visited senior centers in other communities and then picked an architect. If the commission had been able to add a 4~ alternative to the list being discussed tonight, it would have many more things, would been larger, and would have more specialized rooms for particular activities such as playing pool, exercise, computers, etc. However, the committee tried to approach this in a conservative manner. As they learned more about the needs and how they could best be met, their recommendation evolved into Option 1, which addresses both senior needs and some community needs. Mr. Schatz discussed the alternatives in more detail, including how the rooms would be used for multiple purposes. Bumett said he was a member of the expansion committee and it was his suggestion they bring it back before council when it became apparent it would cost more than originally anticipated. He said he had been very conscious about costs, and he had presented all of January 19, 1999 ~uper~no Clty Counei! Page his arguraents for reducing the program and had been convinced that Option 1 is the best one. This is going to be a long-te,ss facility, and the right thing for the community. Since the seniors use the building primarily midweek, during the day, it will be a wonderful building for other community events. The large reception hall, which can have a room broken out at either end, will be especially useful. James said she had also served on the expansion committee. She said that Councilmember Bumett held the committee to asking tough fiscal questions, and the committee respected that input. She thanked the committee for their hard work, and said this is an important building in an area where the city has begun to define some architectural integrity and style. Between DeAnza College, the Oaks, and the Senior Center, there is beginning to be a feeling of what the city will look like. And in order to tie areas together as they develop there needs to be bicycle lanes, streetscaping, etc. She felt the additional $1 million for the larger center in this beautiful setting is a real asset, without building another building for community use. She also recommended approval of Option 1. Dean opened the public hearing. There were no speakers, and the public hearing was closed. Chang concurred with the recommendation of the expansion committee, although he preferred the lower cost of Option 2. He liked the fact that it will bring many different kinds of people to the senior center. Chang said he felt very strongly that when the more refined cost estimates are available, they had better be very close to these estimates or he will not support this more expensive option. Statton said this was a beautiful plan and it will work well with the community as a whole. He agreed with previous comments about funding concerns, and said there are over $31 million in projects planned for the future, and only about $35 million in reserves. He felt it was important for council to consider their options on all of the projects and decide their priorities and how they would be funded. Dean said he respected the opinions of the people who have been developing this proposal, and concurred with their recommendation. But he also supported the council members comments about keeping the costs down. Bumett moved to direct the Senior Center Expansion Design Advisory Committee to proceed with design development of Option 1. James seconded and the motion carried 5- 0. 20. Report of an unscheduled vacancy on the Public Safcty Commission, and selection of dates for application deadlines and interviews. Council concurred to set the deadline for applications on February 17, and to conduct interviews on Monday, March 1, at 6:00 p.m. ORDINANCES 21.

Bumett moved and James seconded to read the ordinance by title only, and that the City Clerk's reading would constitute the second reading thereof. Motion carried 5-0. Bumett moved and James seconded to enact Ordinance No. 1805. Motion carried 5-0. STAFF REPORTS 24. Newsrack enforcement update. Community Development Director Bob Cowan reviewed the staff report and highlighted four options: (1) Maintain existing newsracks; (2) Approve modular racks; (3) Approve custom racks supplied by an outside vendor; and (4) Approve specialty newsrack designs using standard racks. He said that staff will initiate a public hearing to consider aesthetic controls, focusing on options 3 and 4. City Attorney Chuck Kilian said that many of the newspapers are discussing, on a voluntary basis, the regulation of racks. The city can regulate the type and placement of racks if there is a strong enough safety or aesthetic reason. Council received the report. January Ii), 1999 Cupertino City Council Page 10 25. Presentation of 1997-98 audit report. Administrative Services Director Carol Atwood highlighted a statement of income and expenditures, and said there is about $32 million in general reserves. She said that the city received a clean bill of health f~om its auditors. Council received the report, and concurred to approve the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. COUNCIL REPORTS Chang said that he and Mayor Dean attended a Martin Luther King celebration at Good Samaritan Church. James said that Council recently interviewed people for positions on the city's boards and commissions, and she was impressed by the number of applicants and their qualifications. She said that she, Mayor Dean, and Councilmember Bumett attended a reception given by Jim Cunneen for elected officials. She also attended the Bay Area Council economic forecast. Statton also remarked on the excellent quality of applicants for boards and commissions. He thanked staff for their outreach efforts, and said that Leadership Cupertino is producing good quality people who are moving into commissions and becoming active in - the community. Bumett said the Manufacturers' Group has fom~ed a housing committee, and there has been a lot of discussion about jobs/housing balance. One of the problems is that the land isn't zoned logically, but instead is zoned for revenue. City councils will continue to zone for revenue until the state starts treating them fairly on a financial basis. Apparently Joint Venture Silicon Valley is working in this direction as well.
