` -
Committee Member Mann indicated that the sign looks fine t6
her and Member Jackson felt that a free-standing sign was
appropriate due to the extensive landscaping which otherwise
hides a building mounted sign.
The application for the Sign Exception was approved
unanimously based on the finding that the existing
landscaping screens the building reducing the effectiveness
of a building mounted sign.
INFORMAL REVIEW
Item .3) Aee3ication_ 18-U-_84_Cugg tino__City__Center Associates
(Prometheus_Develoement) - Informal review of landscaping
for the east property line of the subject project. The
subject property is located on the west side of Torre Avenue
approximately 600 ft. south of Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Presentation: Staff outlined the proposal
The Committee discussed the lighting and landscape proposed
and concurred with staff's recommendation that the
landscaping on the south property line be retained as
presented in the original submittal for the temporary
parking lot.
The application was unanimously approved with the
stipulation that lighting is to be approved by the staff to
ensure that it is not obtrusive to the adjoining residential
areas and that the landscape screening plan along the
southerly property line be retained per the original
submittal with 34 Coast Redwood trees.
Item 4) Application__13-U_-_B4___Don _L__Beck Associates - Requesting
approval of architectural changes to an approved office
building • located at the southeast corner of Foothill
Boulevard and Cupertino Road.
The Committee generally concluded that the proposal is more
attractive than the original submittal. However, two
Members commented that the setback should be as close to the
original 18 ft. as possible and proposed a maximum
encroachment of 1 ft. as suggested by the staff.
Member Miller did not feel that the bay window projection
was imposing and did not have any problem with it.
Additionally, Member Chapman felt the projecting bay window
would not be obtrusive.
