MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
City Manager Brown said it was appropriate for the Director of Community Development
to respond to those particular questions.
Jay Rice, 10221 Phar Lap Drive, who wished to address Council regarding traffic
mitigation, was informed that would be part of the General Plan item.
Floyd Meyer addressed Council regarding the Jazz Cafe and Ruth Norman file. He stated
these files are at the City Attorney's office and he has been told it would cost him $300 for
the public record and confidential records in the files to be separated.
City Attorney Kilian responded that he had not set any fee of $300. The records are on
file with the court. Therefore, those documents are the court's records. Mr. Meyer can
go there. If $300 were submitted, it would be a deposit for time involved; any of the
money not used would be refunded.
Mr. Meyer stated these documents are not on file with the City and they are the City's
record. Mr. Meyer stated that the City bought and paid for the time. It is proper for the
records to be at City Hall. The court wants $1.50 per page for copying; the City charges
$.50 for the first 20 pages. He wanted the record in City Hall.
The Mayor requested that Mr. Meyer contact the City Clerk.

Following review of the staff report, the Mayor opened the meeting for public input.
Jean Bedord, Chair of the Library Commission, stated that either the statement pertaining
to library services as submitted by staff or the one prepared by the Library Commission
would be acceptable, but she feels that the Commission's is more clear.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Koppel and passed unanimously
to approve a text change in Library Services to read, "If the City of Cupertino requires a
higher level of service (building, staff and materials) than available from normal funding
sources, then cooperation between the County of Santa Clara and the City of Cupertino
will be needed to achieve this level."
By affirmation, Council approved the change of the location of the vision statement in the
document to be moved to the beginning of the introduction.
4
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
Floyd Meyer stated that if there is to be a higher level of service in the library, the County
should pay for it.
In regard to priorities, the Director of Community Development reviewed a chart showing
the designation of priorities and goals. He stated this format allows for annual review and
cautioned against a firm decision until the Environmental Impact Report and the final
hearings occur.
Mayor Szabo stated he would like the hillsides, including Inspiration Heights, to be high
on the list of priorities.
Mr. Cowan stated that the City could start the process with the hillsides and Stevens
Creek Boulevard with the information available subject to the General Plan adoption.
Mayor Szabo then opened the meeting for public input.
Jay Rice, 10221 Phar Lap Drive, addressed Council regarding traffic mitigation. He stated
he is a volunteer at the Senior Center and a member of CURB. He learned at a CURB
meeting that the City Council plans a 50% increase in non-residential growth. This would
mean about 11,000 more cars for every working day. Many people are unaware of this.
He thought this was a slow growth Council. Also, there is a water shortage, yet the City's
planning industrial growth that requires millions of gallons more water.
David Severin, 22582 San Juan Road, was informed that the issue about which he wished
to speak will be part of Item No. 16.
Phil Zeitman, Cricket Hill Road, member of CURB, said that the City is washing the tier
system away. The process of growth will be determined by how the tier system is
implemented. He recommended that it be a high priority. However, it is not being
discussed. How the tier system is implemented is of grave concern. He requested that
Council talk about it.
Mayor Szabo then brought the discussion to Council.
Counc. Goldman stated that the hillsides should be a high priority. He asked if the traffic
portion would not be the responsibility of Public Works
Director of Public Works Viskovich replied that the Public Works Department would do
the field checks and studies to determine the base and establish the criteria for the second
tier. Submission of an application would trigger that work. There is no application; there
would, therefore, would be no implementation. The steps that would have to be done
would be established in a manual. The rules would be established in advance.
5
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
City Manager clarified that there would be general rules that will be reviewed by the City
Council and the public prior to any application being submitted.
Mr. Cowan suggested that the development intensity manual be an appendix to the
General Plan. He stated that the "tricky" part would be developing the sanctions.
Counc. Goldman suggested that staff consider including a theoretical case study.
The Stevens Creek Boulevard Specific Plan will be done by a consultant.
By consensus, Council established the following priorities:
Development Intensity Manual as appendix to the General Plan
Hillsides
Stevens Creek Boulevard Specific Plan (options and process to the City Council
within a month)
The balance in order as per staff report dated February 1, 1993
In regard to the letter submitted by Nadine Grant on behalf of FAIR and OAKS, Director
of Community Development Cowan stated he would give an oral response at this time.
He would also be available to meet with Ms. Grant.
The City Manager stated in addition to Mr. Cowan's limited remarks at this meeting, Mr.
Cowan will respond in writing and that the City Attorney would review that response
prior to its being sent.
1) How is the process affected when the EIR plan shows a problem? Is it
only that portion of the process that gets restarted?
The General Plan and EIR are tied into the same process. Whether or not it is only
a portion of the process that gets restarted depends on the significance of the
problem and the impact.
2) Where in the process can the General Plan get amended? Obviously, the
public inputs are taken during review, but can the General Plan be amended
after approval?
What is happening now is a single amendment. Amendments can be considered
after adoption of this.
3) If so, in what time frame, after the General Plan gets approved, can an
amendment be submitted?
There is no time frame.
6
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
4) What is the process for submitting an amendment? Namely, who can
submit an amendment request, who reviews such requests, is the review
of such requests part of the public review process-if so, how?
The City has a written policy on General Plan Amendments. A private citizen, the
City Council, or the Planning Commission can request an amendment. If a citizen
submits such a request, the Planning Commission and City Council review that
request and may or may not schedule a hearing. It would go to the Planning
Commission first.
5) Can the amendment take the form of an addendum to a specific portion?
Following clarification of the question by Ms. Grant, Mr. Cowan responded that
an amendment can target a specific policy or it can have a ripple effect on all of the
plan.
6) Is it true that the process would get "restarted" for specific cycles if the
amendment affects a specific sub process (e.g., if the amendment impacts
density, the part of the General Plan process that deals with density-the
EIR sub process, including public input)- would only that sub process
have to be redone prior to the acceptance of the amendment?
Mr. Cowan stated he feels this question does go back to Item No. 5.
Diane Ikeda, also representing FAIR, stated that these questions had been prepared by
FAIR and OAKS jointly. This was a communal effort.
16. Public hearing to consider an extension of Ordinance No. 1614 which applies
interim zoning regulations for Residential, Agricultural and Quasi-Public Zoning
Districts located in the San Juan/Cordova/Mercedes Road area of "Inspiration
Heights". Said interim zoning regulations are intended to prohibit development
(subject to exceptions) pending completion of the General Plan and relevant
zoning ordinances.
(a) Reading and enactment of Ordinance No. 1619: "An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Cupertino Extending Ordinance No. 1614, Interim
Zoning Regulations in Residential, Agricultural and Quasi-Public Zoning
Districts Located in Specific Hillside Areas and Declaring the Urgency and
Taking Effect Immediately."
Wendy Kelley, owner of a lot in Inspiration Heights, said that she had just received the
notice of the hearing this week. She has a copy of the proposed General Plan and
expressed concern. If her lot is less than 1/2 acre, it would be termed unbuildable.
7
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
Mr. Cowan stated there is an exception process if the General Plan is adopted.
Ms. Kelley stated that six or seven lots will be subject to something that the others are not.
If her lot is labeled unbuildable, it is less valuable. There has been extensive building. She
has not been able to do that up to this time, but was planning to this year. Every day of
delay is an added cost.
Oran Chang, owner of one of six legal lots in this area, said he had bought his lot in 1986
and planned to live on the property. He was shocked regarding the proposed ban on
building. He came here in 1970s for freedom and protection of property. He is a
professional architect and general contractor. Good construction will stabilize soil. There
is no problem of traffic, sewer capacity, etc. He suggested stricter building codes, not a
construction ban.
The City Attorney clarified this is a temporary plan until the General Plan is in effect.
Ron Mackin, owner of a lot on Paloma Drive, stated he had received the notice.
Mr. Cowan explained that his property adjoins the area, but it is not directly affected.
Everyone within 300 feet of the area received notice.
The City Attorney stated that the law requires those within 300 feet of a zoning be
notified. If someone does not come and express their views and later wishes to bring an
action against the City, that person may not be able to do it if the issue is not brought up
during the hearing.
David Severin, formerly 22570 San Juan Road, now 22582 San Juan Road, asked if the
ordinance restricted building or subdividing.
The City Attorney stated both. These could not be done during a period of 10 months and
15 days. However, that period could be shorter if the City adopts the General Plan which
covers this or it would be longer if the Council adopted an ordinance extending this.
Mr. Severin stated that the lot he is concerned about is 1.3 acres.
Mr. Kilian said he believes the City is looking at something that would allow for
consideration on a case by case basis.
Mr. Severin inquired what would happen if his parents died and the property was to be
split between heirs.
Mr. Kilian suggested he consult his attorney.
8
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
Dennis West, Cordova Road, expressed support for adoption of the ordinance.
Barbara West, Cordova Road, asked if a lot did not meet zoning or General Plan
requirements, would there be notice to neighbors and Planning Commission review? Each
building would have an impact on the neighborhood. She expressed support for the
interim ordinance and reviewed overheads showing Cordova Road. She urged Council to
continue any freeze on building until the General Plan is in effect or guidelines are
implemented.
Warren Dunn, 10640 Cordova Road, also urged Council to adopt the ordinance. He
stated he believed those objecting to the ordinance do not understand.
Mayor Szabo then brought discussion to Council.
City Attorney Kilian pointed out that for any action to be taken, a 4/5 vote is required.
It was moved by Counc. Goldman, seconded by Counc. Sorensen and passed unanimously
to approve the proposed ordinance.
It was moved by Counc. Goldman, seconded by Counc. Koppel and passed unanimously
to read Ordinance No. 1619 by title only and the City Clerk's reading to constitute the
reading thereof.
It was moved by Counc. Goldman, seconded by Counc. Sorensen and passed unanimously
to enact the ordinance.
RECESS: 8:35-8:47 P.M.
PLANNING APPLICATIONS
17. Application No. 10-U-92 and 19-EA-92 - Westfield, Inc. - Approval of design
theme for previously approved parking structure on the front parking lot (Stevens
Creek Boulevard frontage) of the Sears Department Store in Vallco Fashion Park.
Recommended for approval. (Continued from January 19, 1993.)
Director of Community Development Cowan stated that the Planning Commission
suggests that the City Council reconsider use of a metal roof.
Terry Ferrera, project architect for Westfield, said the last outstanding issue is use of a
covered walkway. He stated that a metal roof is lighter than heavy tile. The metal used
would be of light color and flat seam. He pointed out that the parking garage has been
tied into the structure and additional trees will be included.
9
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
Counc. Goldman said the usual metal roof would not be acceptable to him, but a copper
one would be okay or use of a shingle of a clay type.
Counc. Sorensen said she did not want a copper roof. A flat metal of dark brown would
be acceptable. Also, a trellis would be acceptable.
Mayor Szabo asked if there were any member of the public who wished to address this
issue.
Nancy Burnett said that after 11:00 a.m., it is dark on that side of Vallco. An open trellis,
rather than a covered walkway, would be better.
Ann Anger also stated that a trellis is attractive and not dark.
There being no other members of the public who wished to speak, Mayor Szabo brought
discussion to Council.
During discussion, the majority of Councilmembers did express preference for a trellis
with plants.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Koppel and passed unanimously
to approve the application per Planning Commission Resolution No. 4448, with Condition
No. 7 amended to have a trellis roof with plants over the walkway.
ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE APPROVAL COMMITTEE APPLICATIONS
18. None.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
19. None.
NEW BUSINESS

Construction in the amount of $98,560, with a 15% contingency for a total of $113,350.
10
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
21. Recommendations regarding filling of vacancy on Public Safety Commission.
Selection of application filing deadline and interview dates.
Nancy Burnett stated that she is aware of someone who had previously applied for a
commission; however, his application was more than one year old.
It was pointed out that would no longer be on file with the City and she was requested to
contact anyone who she thought might be interested and suggest that they contact the
Clerk's office.
It was moved by Counc. Koppel, seconded by Counc. Goldman and passed unanimously
to waive use of the Cupertino Scene and accept applications until February 23. and set
interviews for Monday, March 1, Conference Room A, 6:15 p.m..
22. Consideration of forming a budget advisory committee.
Counc. Sorensen reviewed the report regarding a citizen budget advisory committee.
Nancy Burnett said she had served on a school budget committee. They did a line by line
review of the budget.
City Manager Brown directed Council to the proposed time line.
The City Attorney stated that if Council has a budget committee and if this is a committee
that will meet every year, the minimum that should be done is an agenda posted, minutes
prepared, and the meetings be public. After this first year, Council should consider an
ordinance if they wish to continue this committee.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Koppel and passed unanimously
to form a citizen budget review committee, each Councilmember appoint a resident,
League of Women Voters appoint a resident, the Chamber appoint a member who need
not be a Cupertino resident, and that Council evaluate the committee next year.
Councilmembers will submit their appointments to the City Manager as soon as possible.
23. Consideration of directing the City Attorney to perform legal research regarding
prohibition of night time truck traffic (Mayor Szabo).
Mayor Szabo reviewed a history of Kaiser and issues pertaining to truck traffic. He
suggested that the Council authorize the City Attorney to investigate what powers the
City might have on this matter. The last time the City did such an investigation was
approximately 12 years ago.
11
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
City Attorney stated this a very complicated issue; it is an extensive business outside City
limits. The City Attorney stated he would like to do a review of what other cities have
done and legal actions since Cupertino's last actions 12 years ago. It would take
approximately 8-10 hours to do this research.
Mayor Szabo explained that this would be exploratory and there would be no automatic
action. The question is, does the City have power.
Counc. Koppel stated there was a policy in place for Voss Quarry. Perhaps, the City
Attorney could look at that.
City Attorney Kilian clarified that policy was put in place in conjunction with Voss
Quarry's use permit.
Mayor Szabo then opened the meeting for public comment.
Mary Klaus, DeAnza Homeowners Association, said she has been working with other
residents along Stevens Canyon Road. The truck traffic to and from Kaiser is a concern.
This is a long standing issue. It's bad enough during the day and is intolerable at night.
Trucks roar and rattle along the road. A committee is investigating possible solutions.
She urged Council to approve the proposal. Upon being asked if the homeowners
association had contacted Kaiser, Ms. Klaus said they had not; however, Kaiser has
agreed to be part of the committee.
Counc. Goldman suggested that the City be involved in the meetings if the association
desired.
Ms. Klaus reiterated that she supports the Mayor's proposal.
Steve Sparks, DeAnza Oaks, said that he had served on the County committee with Mr.
Szabo in the 70s. Kaiser has always been concerned. The committee did get the sound
walls built. All night ferry service of rocks from Cupertino to Mountain View had been
discontinued. Other trucks are still going all night. This issue has to be resolved. There is
a need to know if the City has power. Mr. Sparks stated that it has been his experience
that Kaiser responds to pressure.
Counc. Goldman suggested that an attempt be made to have the president of Kaiser meet
with the homeowners group and that the City be involved.
City Manager Brown said that last week the Sheriff's Department was contacted by
Kaiser. At Kaiser's expense, they have requested a 30 day additional radar enforcement
for speeding.
12
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
Mr. Sparks urged that the City Council determine whether or not the City has power.
Mr. Kilian stated they might also look at a strategy to ban heavy trucks in that area.
Gordon Frolich, Belknap Court, said he has relatives in the area under discussion.
Independent truckers have the right to travel on those streets. Kaiser controls its own
trucks. The sound walls send the sound to other areas. The independent truckers will be
noisier when they hear of this. He expressed support for anything the City Council could
do to solve the problem.
Counc. Sorensen suggested that they look at Voss Quarry and Kaiser Quarry conditions
of operation. Also, there could be a traffic count of night time trucks. The City could
meet with Kaiser and DeAnza Oaks people and submit a written report. Then, the
Council could decide about the City Attorney's time.
City Manager Brown pointed out that conditions could not be forced onto Kaiser. He
also asked who would review Voss Quarry's use permit.
Mr. Kilian said it appears that the independent truckers and not Kaiser are the problem.
Following discussion, Mayor Szabo volunteered to talk with Supervisor McKenna and
representatives of Kaiser regarding this problem. He requested that it come back to the
Council on the agenda of February 16. A meeting of Supervisor McKenna, Kaiser, and
the DeAnza Oaks Homeowners Association will be arranged through the Mayor's office.
In regard to a truck traffic count, Director of Public Works Viskovich stated that one
could be done via a multi axle counter.
Mary Klaus said that Supervisor McKenna's aide, John Gibbs, is on the committee. He
will look at road repairs. She expressed support for the City working with the committee.
She also stated that Kaiser is allowed a certain tonnage and asked who controls that.
City Manager Brown said the City does have scales for truck weight violations only. Few
violations have been found.
Mayor Szabo stated he believes that Kaiser does have to report to the County annually.
24. Consideration of a change in procedure in applying for a position on a Commission
or Committee in the City of Cupertino to allow for submission of video tapes and
telephone interviews.
(a) Resolution No. 8828: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Cupertino Rescinding Resolution No. 8819 and Establishing Rules
Governing Recruitment, Appointment and Reappointment to City
Advisory Bodies."
13
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
(CC-851)
City Manager Brown stated he does have a recommendation which would be a
modification of Option No. 3. He recommended that the video presentations be allowed
on an exception basis and that the City staff record them and the City pay for them.
Following discussion, it was moved by Counc. Koppel, seconded by Counc. Sorensen and
passed unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 8828, second alternate, with Item A.12.
amended as follows:
12. An applicant who is unable to attend the interview may submit a
five minute video presentation in advance of the interview meeting
and may be interviewed by speakerphone. The tape will be re-
viewed and the call made at the meeting. The video would be
made by City staff at the applicant's request and approved
by the City Clerk. These costs will be funded by the City.
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
25. None.
ORDINANCES

It was moved by Counc. Koppel, seconded by Counc. Goldman, and passed unanimously
to read Ordinance No. 1618 by title only and the City Clerk's reading to constitute the
second reading thereof.
It was moved by Counc. Koppel, seconded by Counc. Goldman, and passed unanimously

MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 1, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

29. Status of Parks and Recreation Department special events for 1993.
Following review of the report by Director of Parks and Recreation Dowling, Mayor
Szabo asked if any member of the public wished to speak.
Ann Anger said the City is watching the budget; however, she is concerned that if the
fireworks are eliminated, people will do their own and there will be more accidents.
It was moved by Counc. Dean and seconded by Counc. Sorensen to eliminate Fourth of
July fireworks.
Counc. Koppel suggested that there be a fee of approximately $1.00 per person to attend
the fireworks at DeAnza College.
Following discussion, the motion to eliminate Fourth of July fireworks event was adopted
unanimously. Council urged staff to inform the public as soon as possible.
Following Council Reports, the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
