Hr. Uenaka 'sa1dthat last year Dr. Brown was auccessful in puttina
toa_ther a Local IIIprovement District. In fomins tbis District
they have udUgated the problell of IIIUltiple ownership and strip
cOIIIIIIercial. 'lhroup this aaglomerated use they have been able to
lllinilllize the matter of curb cuts along Saratoga-Sunnyvale !load.
they want to provide goods and aervices that are not available in
other shopping centers. The aesthetics they offer are for the mutual
benefit of the businesses and the people of Cupertino.
~...
Hr. Uenaka said they started Vf!ry small and have branched out to
landscaping, florist shop, patio shop and barbeque shop, It is
their hope to bldld additional buildings for these various enter-
prises. They hope to be able to expand their administrative offices
also and they are in need of landscape sales office space. If they
should go into garden equipment rentals they would need additional
facilities. Landscape consultants would probably want to have their
own offices.

Hr. Paul Kari8lÚ., B_tead and Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, wanted to
rebutt statements made in Councilman Jackson's letter of October 3,
1973. He said he could not argue with the goals established here
but he feels he can argue with the implementation of them. He then
read the points listed in his letter. He suggested we could end up
with an inferior city in this area if residences are forced along
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road. This could attract ;¡ h1,ghly transient
element. lie questioned the amount of time "pent by the Planning
Commission and the CIty CoW1cll on the intensity of uses. He doubts
that the one way street pattern would work.

c-c111ll8l1 Frolich stated that tee street pattern for Torre Avenue
1.s subject to change. Be also sta:-:! that if a way is provided for
die throu&h traffic the City would probably assist the property
_rs in that Art:.!I if they are required to develop as residential.
â that point he read his proposù for Highway 9 land uses. He th~n
reviewed his proposal.
Mayor Irwi~ called a recess at 8:20 p.m. The rn< ting reconvened at
8:40 p.m.
Councilman Sparks explained the volumes of traffic that would be
~erated by the various types of zoning. He said he would be
inclined te go alo~g with Councilman Xeyer's propesal. He would lik
to see a road system developed that would cut down on the traffic
CI1 Highw..~· 9. Ideall~' he liked the Planning Commission approach
but; felt it "as not feasible.
Council:Dan ~yers said he vas cOQsidering lower intensity in the
residential because the pe~le have state~ they are not happy with
10+ units per acre.
Councilman Frolich said it is true these people have expressed dissa
fsfactton with 10 units per acre. But on the other hand people have
been pleased with some of our 16 units per acre development in the
City such as the Avery Development across from Flint Center.
Area D was cL.scussed next. It vas reco=ended as residential becaus
~r 18 next to residential. After further discussion it was decided
Areas C and D should be c~abined as commercial/residential.
