K1NU'tES OF THE AUGUST 21, 1973 ADJOURNm CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Hr. Donald Fr~"er. of l'r1JlCher and Associates, 14431 ø-l1n, Van
Buys, said the traffic s1&Dal at Stevens Creek Blvd. and laDdy Lane
will be provld..t by the developer. A landscaped ben will SO around
the entire project. RocIdguel will be widened to 4 hnel. Highway 9
will go to three laDes on either side and left turn lanes will be
provided opposite Saar iN Avenue. Then will he peaceful. landscaped
_nvays. They plan to orIent their develo~t to the existing
structures in the tOVD center. He said they have held the size of
the center dovn in view of the wishes of the City of Cupertino,
The plaza is 80.000 sq. ft. There will be a bell tover. they wIll
us. natural .aterials. There will be provIded a settIng for band
concerts, etc., as well as displays by local artIsts and crat"tsmen.
The entire periJleter will be bet1led and landscaped SOl1l8 20 feet wide.
Cars dri\õing by won't be able to see the buildings above the
landscaFed bera. The silhouette of the buildings has been kept low.
Council!:..."> Jackson asked the height of the depart_nt star".
He was t~ld the two larger, high fashion stores from the Stevens Creek
Blvd. elevation is l-1/2 stories, or 20 to 25 feet from top of roof
to grade. Its lower elevatic~ will be a total of 35 or 36 feet.
Council~~~ ~eyers asked ~+'o ~ould pay for the widenin~ of Highway 9.
Hr. ~TIitted said the developer ~ould do the widenin~ of all three
streets ,
Council=an Jackson askeè h~~ aany traffic signals are anticipated.
~r. ~~ittèd said there ~ou1d be one at Stevens Creek Blvd. and Randy
Lane anJ possibly one at High~ay 9 and Sunri~e Drive. The only left
turn lanes they are conte:plating are at the main entrance.
Hr. Frischer said It is rre~ature to say precisely, but others may
be needed.
Hr. Frischer, the developer's traffic engineer, said the internal
traffic circulation would be adjacent to the buildings. There will,
no doubt, be " second circulation road within the parking lot.
Stacking lanes wIll be provided at the approaches to the center's
streets. He said they have not yet assigned traffic tc Rodriques
from the east. They do not visualize Blaney as a major traffic
artery.
Councilman Frolich said he was puzzled by how 1o"e can achieve these
sales tax revenues and the proposed level of traffic. He said our
problem is all the traffic we will get, whether or not we develop
shopping centers. It appears all this shopping center traffic will
bave to go througb the worst intersection in town. He does not think
enough time has been spent studying the traffic situation. At this
point, it is very difficult for the City Council to assess the
situation.

Hr. Frischer said they are presently cataloging traffic for 1
shopping centers in che area. They have a good idea bow mJCh
traffic ..-Ill be generated by this center. There is one feature

Hr. Joe Burkhardt, Bayshore Properties, representing Cupertino
Associate!., spoke next. Be said Mariani Mall property is a
cœMrcially zoned site that 1::1 bounded by Freeway 280 and
Bialn/ay 9. He said Vallco Park, De Anza, etc., are sources of
pride in their own rIght. Be said they believe the City Council
requireaeat for a reduced size of development reflec~s a request
of the residents of the City of Cupertino. Their proposal is
for a two-phase develo¡aent on the Mariani site, 160,000 sq. ft.
ad 150,000 sq. ft., with. two-level climate controlled II8ll
and 235,000 sq. ft. of tenant shops. He explained that Phase Two
could be ~ui1t concurrently with Phase One, or later. There are
plans fer 3 190,000 sq. ft. department store and automobile
service c~~t~r to be located on the periphery. This ~lan is
35% sœ3:~~r than the origi~l proposal. It will take advantage
of new '!~n~ Avenue and will relieve portiC'ns of Hi~hway 9.
It will re.uIt in sales tax revt'nues to the City without creatin~
more se~èrè traffic problccs. He pointed out their proven

Hr. Gibson said that if we assume we are going to u/e some transit
then 6 lanes for K1&hvay 9 should handle the tnffic. If not, we
should begin to CCll181der 8 lanes, with double left tum lanos on
D1&hvay 9 and Terre Avenue for short range. In 1980 we IllUst think
about iaproviD& the interchaoge.
·¡i"
>,
Hr. Gibson answered Kayor Irvin that the reason the F level of traffic
came out at Higbway 9 and Stevens Creek Blvd. is because of the very
h1&11 !WIlber of left turns frOla each street. Conditions will be a lot
better. due to the double left tum lanes and one additional through'
lane in each direction on Highway 9.
"
t
r
Kayar Irwin asked how the 8 lanes on Highway 9 will square with the
interface traffic of 6 lanes after you pass Homestead Road. Kr. Gibson
said you carry a lane through a short way beyond the intersectIon.
~myor Irwin called a recess at 8:45 P.M. The meeting reconvened
at 9:02 P.M.
Mr. A1:red Taubman, Partner, Bayshore Propcrt ies, HaYW3rd, Cal ifornia,
said ~~ should go back and chanKc over the testimony given on the
comrou~ity needs. All three proposals have depa.tment stores. It Is
germa~è to note wner2 the department stores wish to locate and w~y.
lie pcsed the questi)n of why they init lally wished to locate in the
Maria~i site. He &ald tha~ at one of the previous meetlngs, one
depar~ent store indicated not only that ~~riani Mall was their first
but t;'è ir ollly location request.
Hr. Ta~bcan said they did a new analysis of a scaled down center.
The nèbative factors of building a smaller center are:
1) Ycu ~ight be leaving 1, 2 or 3 stores out of the market and
they might locate in adjacent communities.
2) Thè competitive factor.
3) .e 5hould look at the marketing situation.
4) 0:1~ quarter million square feet of qua Int shops is lIot feasible
ar.à ~ay not even be possible.
lie said that if you Increase the quality }~u do not increase the
maSs ty?e purchasing power. ~len you fragment a market you also run
into the same dangers. You reduce the full value of the market.
The P~sltive feAtures of a small center are:
I) Th~ community wants it.
2) Reduce traffic flow and congestion.
3) £:i~inate the parkIng decks.
4) Cut elevations and profiles.
5) R~uce mall length.

Hr. Tauboaan said that when they reduced the scope of the center
they ~~nt to the departaent stores to cut down their gross. He
