Director of Planning and Development Sisk reviewed the staff report with

þ
John Volckmann, Z0883 Stevens Creek Boulevard, informed Council that he
had re~d the conditions and was appalled. He stated he would partici-
pate in a traffic study, but residents and other developers in the area
should share the cost of any back-to-back cul-de-sacs. He stated that
the condition as stated in the approval would result in a charge of $15
per sq. ft. for second tier development. Upon being asked by Council,
the Director of Public Work& stated that a traffic study regarding
neighborhood intrusion resulting from the proposed development would
cost approximately $3,000-4,000. ¥J. Volckmann said that $1,500 seemed
a reasonable amount for hts share.
Mr. Doug De Vrie, Alves Drive, requested that when a study is done,
figures pertaining to ätreet repairs be examined as heavy traffic re-
sults in potholes which need frequent refilling. He furt~er stated
that the residents were on record as not wantir.g the maRonry wall.
Mr. Volckmann verified that residents do feel the existing redwood fenee
with landscaping is preferable to a masonry wall.
When asked regarding a timetable for a traffic study, the Director of
Public 'lorks ::laid that should it be done by staff it would take approxi
mately six months. However, a consultant should have it completed
within 45 days for the $3,000-4,000 estimate. By consensus. Council
agreed that a consultant should b¿ retained for this purpose.
Director of Public Works Viskovich said that h~ woulo contact a con-
sultant i~ediately and if it is ~re than $4,000 will bring the ffiatter
back to Council.
.
It was moved by Counc. Sparks, seconded by Cúunc. Johnson and passed
unanimously to amend Condition No. 19 of Applicati0n l-U-83 for Stevens
Creek Office Center to read, "The applicant shall participate in the
amount of $4,000 for the preparation of a neighborhood circulation
