Courtesy Notice - Upcoming Main Street Cupertino Meeting Just found this in my'drafts' . I thought it went to you yesterday. .. .................. Thanks Stephen, When you say adjacent, is that only the distance, that covers commercial /retail parcels, or did any residential parcels get a mailing? How far'out' ? I guess I thought that given the project /agenda item, a more significant noticing 'range' would be required.... city wide ? This is surprising to me.

A courtesy email notice has went out for all those not adjacent to the property who have expressed interest. I will 'follow up with our webmaster regarding the time update. I caught this myself, it might have slipped from her attention.

Cupertino Meeting Hi Stephen, I see that neither of the corrections that you requested have been made yet. The NIS web page still has 5:00 as the meeting start time for Feb 25 CC. The Calendar of Events still does not have the Feb 25 CC meeting, listed. How long do these changes typically take? Based on the City Attorney's comments about noticing, I am assuming that there will be a mailing ? ?? If this is correct, do you know when the 'notices' go out in the mail ? Or if they have gone out.. when delivery is expected ? Thank you.

As I mentioned at the meeting I, had with both of you, and then again at the DRC meeting, the 'plaster' sample is not what I had 'assumed' they were refering to. I shared with the applicant that the sample was a surprise to me. It was a small sample, but still was obvious that it is a pretty generic 'stucco'with compact 'bumps'. I was told that their real intent is to have something less bumpy more like 'sand', but that is not the sample that was presented. Kevin Jones did tell me that the terms plaster and stucco are used interchagably in their industry. I had thought that the finish being called 'plaster' would be more of a smooth 'old world' style finish (as I mentioned in our meeting). I think that I also told you at that time that there is a new construction home (not far from the MS building site) that has a stucco finish very similar to what I was hoping they were referring to with the term 'plaster'. I am fairly certain that this material was sprayed on. I am waiting for a reply from the owner of the new home to confirm that. I am hoping that,you may be willing to meet me at the home that I am referring to so that we can look at it together. There is a lot of 'plaster' on the new ASA designs. I believe that the type of finish that the plaster has will have a significant effect on the look and feel of the project and feel that it is worth discussing /changing. It would probably be best to meet at the house either first thing, or last thing, of any given work day. I can be flexible. I can also meet multiple times if the people cc'd here are interested in seeing it. Thank you. Lisa Warren Cc )'/Zs-hY Karen B.
