Verbal ----- None Chief Building Inspector, Bill Benevich Recording Secretary, Lois Inwards MINUTES OF THE H-CONTROL COMMITTEE MEETING, AUGUST 10, 1965 Moved by Mr. Nuzum, seconded by Mr. Fitch, that the Minutes of August 10, 1965, be approved as read. Relative to one of the applications at the last meeting, the Chief Building Inspector said his office has received a letter from the Fire Marshall stating that the wood roof would not be allowed on the church under application number 193-HC-65. At -the last Council meeting it was brought out that a church in Saratoga was allowed to use wood shingles, and possibly this would set a precedent. The Fire Marshall pointed out in his letter that Saratoga is in Fire Zone 3 whereas Cupertino is in Fire Zones 2 and 3 and, therefore, wood shingles cannot be used. Motion carried, 3-0 IV APPLICATIONS A. Application: 194-HC-65, Palma Coppola, 1299 Covina Court, Saratoga, to erect two signs and change of name on exist- ing roof; sign to be located at southeast corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and Highway 9, known as the Pee Wee Pizza Parlor. Mr. Palma Coppola, 12099 Covina Court, Saratoga, said he has been associated with this corporation, but now he is going to own this business, at this address, himself. Right now, this establishment is just about breaking even and he feels that by more advertising and new signs he will gain more patrons. -1- Sunnyvale Road. The painted sign will be illuminated by two lights shining down from the roof and this will also help light up the parking lot. IThe metal and plastic sign for the front of the building will',�have interior lighting Mr. Nuzum said he would like to see more detailed drawings of the contemplated..signs. Mr. Fitch and Chairman Horgan agreed. Mr. Coppola assured the Committee that this is not a noisy or flashy type of businessl: He intends to run. the business in a similar manner. L Chairman Horgan was not inlj'favor of the sign to be painted on the side of the building, although it looks like the sign for the front of the building 11is in good taste. He feels the corner of Saratoga-Sunnyvat.e Road and Stevens Creek Blvd. is a choice location and.a si',�n painted on the'side of the build- ing announcing 7-PIZZA,AND BEER" does not help the image that Cupertino is.trying to.crete. i Mr. Fitch feels that a smaller sign, in good taste, would help... rather than hinder the business. Mr. Coppola said signs. are expensive"and he only has a 2-year lease here. After checking with the other Committeemen,.,'Chairman Horgan told the applicant that zf',' ho­ could have more detailed. plans prepared.before Friday, th'e Committee is willing to call a special meeting to review ',them and this would still come before the next City Counc'i1 meeting.
