IV UNFINISHED BUSINESS

form to City requirements and County specifications or H
control. T. A. Backman is also proposing a service station.

Backman, and Ravizza have agreed to dedicate property and
make satisfactory arrangements with Sanitary District on storm
and sewer drainoge. Councilman Nathanson moved that the
report and recommendation of the ¡lanning Commission be
adopted and a use permit be granted, inas:'luch as that bOdy
has studied and examined the applic9tion; seconded by Council~
man Saich and carried J - 1, Councilman Lindenmeyer opposed
on the basis of too many service stations in Cupertino.
Mr, Leonard of the Planning Commission acknowledged some
doubt about the number of service stations but said that the
Commission felt that this p8rticular corner was not very
desirable for any other use and that it's better to place
service stations at the outskirts of town rather than in the
center, Councilman Lindenmeyer noted that the ditch along 9
was a danger point for traffic. Mr. Leoûard said that a
wider road Was in the offing and that solution of storm drain-
age may help matters.

amending section 1 of Ordinance No. 2 by reclassifying a
certain portion of Cupertino from an R-J-H district to a

2, Mayor Wilson asked the Chairman of the Planning Commis-
sion about progress on the general plan. Mr. Leonard
told the Council about a meeting with Karl Belser
scheduled for January )1 in which a contract would be
discussed for providing such technical and advisory help
as would be necessary to complete a subdivision ordinance
and a general plan, among other things. Mr. Leonard
said the ultimate development of the middle of the City
is problematical. It is hard to tell what will happen
to the land in this middle portion of Cupertino. The
Planning Com:dssion would like indic'3tion from the owner-
ship concerning the ultimate use of the property, Mayor
iV11son observed that there might be a "tough time flushint
the intentions of the owners". Mr. Leonard noted that
certain facilities are necessary before much development
can take place, storm and sanitary drainage among them.

Planning Commission a nd Council, eventually to include
the School Board, the Sanitary Listrict, and possibly
neighboring cities.
