V. PLANNINC CO"MISSION ACTIONS REQUlRHG CCU;~CIL ACTION
1. Ward Crump revised map for properties of Forest nomes. Mayor read
City Engineer's report, Item 6, relating to Crump map. City Engineer
stated that there had not been sufficient time to have his approval in
writing, but that proposed map is improvement over original map because
the streets line up and access to the nroDerty to the north is provided.
There are some minor details, he stated, which can be worked out on the
final map when it comes before the Council. One detail is that some of
the lots are not 7,500 sq. ft.
Ward Crump, developer, stated that it is his intention that all lots will
be 7,500 sq. ft., and if a lesser square footage is shown on map, they
will be brought un to City standard. Mayor stated that in relation to
the street pattern running north and south into the other subdivisions, he
saw a map plan that put Portal Ave. on the west side of this boundary.
City Engineer stated that Portal Avenue can wiggle to the west to provide
two north-west streets and that he has no objection to this as long as
the traffic can get to the streets. The present map, City Engineer
stated, satisfied property owners to the north and also satisfied the City
requirement for access.
Motion by Councilman Saich that Tentative Map ~o. 2037, Ward Crump, dated
July 1, 1960, be adopted subject to engineering changes and to normal
development conditions. Seconded by Lazaneo.

Councilman "aich asked if this particular piece of property would effect
Wolfe Road. City Engineer stated that if Council realigns Wolfe Road
as sho\m on Exhibit A, which was submitted for discussion of gas station
corner East Estates Drive and Stevens Creek, the property may be affected.
Councilman Benetti asked if neighborhood plan had been adopted. City
Engineer stated that none of the neighborhood plans have been adopted.
Councilman Sa.ich asked ]V;r. Roberts if he would agree to a two week delay.
Mr. L. F. Roberts, 13775 Calle Tacula Drive, Saratoga, stated that in
preparing map, they have followed the neighborhood plan and the road plan
in the general area. It was his understandin[ that Wolfe Road would develop
where it runs into his property. He further stcted that in order to get
construction underway, they decided to have 10,000 so. ft. lots. The two
week delay would definitely hurt, and he had not anitcipated a delay since
the map was studied by the Planning Commission and the Engineer recommended
approval. Mayor felt that further study of the extension of Wolfe Road
would have to be ma.e by the Council before decision could be reached.

age and has posted necessary bonds. The problem now is the improvements
to be requieed on hountain View_Stevens Creek.
Hr. Charls Coburn, engineer for the Calli property, reported that it was
his impression that the Planning Commission waS uncertain as to how much
they wanted in the way of improvements but he felt that they would require
full improvements. At the last Planning Commission meeting a committee of
three was appointed to consider this matter in greater detail and it was
tentatively agreed behmen Calli and Cook and 'tiilson that if they did
sign agreements with the City, they would put in improvements and if at
some later date, when the Council decided "chat they wanted, they would
then put in other improvements. Mr. Coburn requested arproval of sub-
