V. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS FOR AIXJPTION
1. Ordinance 113 rezoning property of John Rodrigues, Jr. et al from A_2:B_4
to C-I_H, 9 acres.
Mayor asked if applicant had anything further to add.
Mr. Rodrigues. P. 0, Box 591, Cupertino, applicant, reported that alternate
plan had been submitted to the Planning Commission upon the request of the
Council. Discussion arose as to the necessity of requiring a map for re-
zonings. Mr. Rodrigues stated that Planning Commission was confused by
requirement for alternate map and therefore indicated that they were in
favor of Map 1, but if applicant found that it would not be possible to fol_
low Map 1. that Map 2 would also be acceptable. Councilman Wilson stated
that subdividers will not present a tentative map until after rezoning.
The only purpose that such maps as these serve is to give applicant op-
portunity to express intention about how he intends to improve a certain
area in the City. City Attorney stated that this is the first instance
where an application for a rezoning was presented with tentative site plans.
Tentative map should be approved by the Planning Commission and approved
at the next following Council Meeting, but the rezoning, in this case. took
several weeks. There is no requirement that there be an expression by
,neans of a tentative map of wha,t is desired. however, there is no right in
the applicant for a rezone. For that reason tentative maps have always
been filed with the rezone so that Council would know what was going to
happen. In this case applicants have expressed intention to follow one
of two plans. The Council is not being asked to approve a tentative map.
This is nothing more than an idea to show the Council what they plan to do
to the property. Mr. Rodrigues stated that the Planning Commission felt
that the basic thing with which they were concerned was the commercial aspect,
City Manager read Planning Commission motion, Meeting March 28. 1960.
Councilman Saicl asked applicant if he will follow plan for racquet club
and other recreational facilities. Mr. Rodrigues answered in the affir-
mative. Councilman Wilson felt that site is a natural one for commercial
use and that City should encourage good commercial developments such as
this one. Councilman Pelosi was concerned with procedure. He felt that
Council has no assurance of what will happen. The Planning Commission has
stated that tentative c "should be presented witt every piece of property
for rezoning or rezoning to come up. This property is for C-I-H but he
felt that the procedure is not legal. City Attorney stated that maps are
not tentative maps but simply developer's plans and have no legal meaning
to them other than indicating desires of the applicant if C-I_H rezoning
is granted. The only thing as to legality is that the Planning Commission
has recommended a C-I-H use and he does not feel the map should effect the
legality question since they have no significance other than showing
developer's desires.
Motion by Councilman Wilson that rezoning. John Rodrigues. Jr. et aI, 9 acres
from A-2:B_4 to C--I_H be approved. Councilman Wilson withdrew motion.
Motion by Councilman Wilson that second reading of Ordinance 113 be by title

Absent: None
Motion Carried: J-2
Co~cilman Pelosi requested clarification of Item 10 of Exhibit B, which
he read, He asked about the necessity of formality since the plot plan is
not approved and means nothing. Eo, asked if Item 10 has reference to the
present diagram. City ~ttorney answered that, in his opinion it does not.
He st~ted that if rezoning is granted it ,~ll be necessary for applicants
to come before the Planning Commission with a plot pl~n which will have to
be approved by the Planning Commission and then by the Council under arch_
itectural ~nd site control. When approval is made on this level, they will
h~ve an approved ~lot plan and these requirements '¥ill have to be met be_
fore a building permit can be issued. The Planning Commission approved
either one of tentative proposals and reco~~ended C_I_H zoning. The dec_
isions of the Council now is to approve C-I-H or not. The developer may
change their thinking later, but if they do, they will still have to go
through the Planning Cow~ission and the Council before anything can be
built.

reported a meeting in San Francisco with State representatives and cities of
Sunnyvale, Cupertino, San Jose, Saratoga and the County .nc' "rom this meeting
it WQS det€n.~,1ed that the State would put in four lane highways on Highway 9
if rights of way are acqujred by the cities. It was also determined that the
57
best procedure to ~cquire rights of way would be by ~ssessment proceedings.
The state therefore requests that Resolutions be ~pproved by respective city
councils so that they could make ~ report to the Bo~rd of Supervisors and

G, Planning Commission Report
1. Site Control - Rodrigues Commercial Building
City Engineer stated he recommends that site and engineering plans be sub-
mitted and if the Council wishes to del~y the widening of Highway 9 the
developer could post bonds for the widening, and in case the widening did
not go through, the City could go back and do it. This, he stated, would
have to be a policy decision by the Council. Councilman Pelosi suggested
that matter be tabled or sent back to the Planning Commission to have plans
drawn up with the proper engineering report for submission to the City
Engineer.
City Engineer stated that Planning Commission has already made recommendation
but did not specify th.t engineering plans be submitted, V~yor Ðead Planning
Commission motion, meeting ¥~rch 28, 1960:
"Motion Qy Commissioner Leon~rd thct Planning Commission approve site
subject to these condtions: (1) th~t a bond be posted satisf.ctory to
the City engineer, City Attorney and City Manager to assure eventual
construction of curb and gutter on the plan line of Highway 9 in front
of this development; (2) that if the City agrees to dedicate back
excess land to developer:, developer be required to construct curb and
gutter in front of the balance of his existing commercial holdings
from Rodrigues Avenue to Scofi~d Drive, Seconded by Cali."
City EngineEr requested that this be made part of the records, Councilman
Pelosi stated that more than a Planning Cow~ission motion is required. He
stated that other developers in this ~rea were required to put in improvements
and feels thRt developer should be required to pay cash. City Engineer
st.ted th.t the normal procedure is to have the developer enter into an
agreement with the City and th~t they post a bond to a"sure that the work
be done.
Mr. John Rodrigues, P. O. box 491, applicant, stated that he is not object-
ing to the widening and 1reprovements, and that he has ~lre.dy ~greed to the
improvements on Rodrigues Avenue. If they ~re required to improve now, the
curbs and sidewalks would be in the center of the service road. ~nen
entire installation is improved on Rodrigues and Scofield they will put in
improvements, Councilman Pelosi stated that he would like to see an engin-
eering report on this property. Mr. Rodrigues w.s in agreement but stated
that he could not have his engineer go ahe~d with pl~ns until he knew what
the City was going to do. Mr. Rodrigues ~rranged to discuss preparation of
plans with City Engineer.

H. Report of City Engineer
City Engineer reported that a temporary improvement job was done on Blaney
Avenue by the City of San Jose. City Engineer has not been able to contact
owner of Burger Pit, but he intends to show owner what is going to be done
across the street. Improvement plans for Cook & Wilson development,
west side of Stevens Creek have been completed with the exception of water
lines and the developer has been instructed to draw ur plans for water lines.
Mr, Wilson, 25481 Purissima Ave.. Los Altos Hills, applicant, stated that
befoDe property w~s annexed to City, water was available from Monta Vista,
but now there seems to be some problem as to how he is to get water to sub-
division. Assistant City Engineer, George Perkins, requested Mr. Wilson
to post a bond for water, which he has done, and he requested that Council
approve map, and when City Engineer has completed improvement plans, the
agreements can be then executed. City Engineer stated that a private eng-
ineer is to prepare the water line system and that he will check plans sub_
mitted by developer's engineer. Mr. Wilson stated that he is being required
to prepare a water map without knowing where connection is to be made. City
Engineer stated that the Water Department needs a Master Plan and if developer
wishes to push adoption of his plan has only alternative is to submit some-
thing to the City for checking or else to wait until a Master Plan is
adopted for the Water Department. City Manager stated that he had recommended
to the Council that the subdivider put in the intract water sYRtem rather
than the City. He said that prior to anne~tion, Mr. Wilson was aware of
where water w.s to be connected from the Monta Vista Water Works, City
~ngineer stated that former owner had prepared maps of the extention of
water to this development, but that maps have not veen found as yet, Mr.
Wilson said th,?t he did not see plans but that he a ssumed that they did exist.
City Manager stated that there are no plans. City ~~n.ger st.ted th~t Mr.
Damico's proposal WëS to valve off and ccntinue on with a 16" main from
Phar Lap that would go across Stevens Creek-Mount.in View and eventually
go into proposed reservoir site, City Attorney asked Mr. Wilson if the
Damico commitment provided for part of the financing of the line to his
property. Mr, Wilson stated th¡;t he Lad a,n agreement to get water and
that he ,'ould rather not disclose the nature of the agreement. City lttorney
stated that if there is a written commitment between Damico and Cook & "'il-
son and also a contemrl,,-ted commitment to Mrs. Baton, they would be a part
of the City's records. City Attorney would agree that the Damico agreement
has expired since the development did not take place when planned. Council-
man Lazaneo suggested t'entatively approving final map, City Attorney stated
5{9
th~t map cannot be approved until water arrangements are made. It
was his opinion that the developer could not be expected to pay for engin-
eering a line from Phar La, to his property. City Attorney stated that
if Cook & Wilson had a contract with ~æ. D~mico the City would have to
assume the burdens of that contract as well as the benefits. It w~s
Mr. Damico's opinion that the contract was not binding on the City at
the point of ~cquisition but if it was a sound commitment to Mr. Damico,
it 1,ould also be to the City, Councilm~n Laz~neo wished to give tent~tive
approval so that developer could begin construction and other m~tters
could be worked out. City Engineer said that final m~p could not be
filed unlees approved. City Enginéer felt th~t ~n agreement could be
prepared to include installation of water lihes. Mr. Wilson said that
improvement plane could be drawn up within four or so days but that he
would still have to enter into a formal agreement with the City before
the map could be recorded. Councilman Pelosi suggested th"t another
public hearing be set after all facts have been gathered. Mr. Wilson
stated that he has a commitment from the Monta Vista Water Company
agreeing to furnish Cook & Wilson water. Cook & Wilson agreed to pay them
the cost of intr.ct only anò they agreed to operate under the PUC regu-
lations. There is another agreement between Cook & Wilson as individuals
and Chester Damico, Jr., and Frates, individuals, wherein a compensation
in the form of a repayable loan over a thirty year period was made, City
Attorney stated that it is questionable whether or not there is a bonding
agreement on the City. A commitment was made orally to Cook & Wilson to
furnish water and the Cit;i should not detc'rmine the cost of getting
water to the prope!'ty, Any commitment on reimbureement of a personal
loan has nothing to do with the City.
Motion by Councilman Lazaneo that City Engineer be authorized to prepare
a plan with the cost of running the water line frum Phar Lap Drive to
the Cook and Wilson property and also the preliminary work on the obtain-
ing of easements. Seconded by S.ich.

City Engineer presented a preliminary study made of the Fischer property.
A meeting was held with Mr. Rodrigues. City Manager, Assistant City Engin-
eer to determine the developing of storm drain system in this area.
There are 275 acres of drainage area and if $212,000 c.nnot be raised for
the storm drain, there might be some thoughts of dry wells. City ¥~nager
stated that he suggested to developer that they might install the storm
drain and then be reimbursed but this did not meet with much success.
¥~yor su,gested contacting people in the a,rea who would benefit from this
to see if they would be inclinEd to make contributions to storm drain-
age along the lines taken with sanitary sewers.
