PUBLIC HEARINGS:
® Continued Application:
1. Application HC-51,467.1 - Peninsula Capital Group (Stonebridge) requesting
approval of architecture for a sound control barrier and landscaping
adjacent to the public right of way for 36 single-family cluster lots
located at the northwest quadrant of California Oak Way and Stevens Creek
Boulevard. (Continued from January 18, 1979 ASAC meeting).
Member Irvine disqualified himself from this application due to his
involvement with the project.
Mr. Clowdsley reviewed the revised perimeter landscape plan submitted
to the Committee. The extensive arrangement of trees and the addition
of mounding were satisfactory to the ASAC members.
The applicant demonstrated the increased setback variation in the perimeter
sound wall, as had been recommended previously by the Committee.
A color sample of the proposed slumpstone wall was presented to the Committee;
it was determined that the dark brown Olympic #725 stain would have a
"disappearing" effect, and thus be less noticeable than the impact of a
lighter color.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience. A Westridge resident
wished to ascertain the extent of the sound barrier along California Oak Way.

perimeter of the buildings would pose maintenance problems. ?Members of the

focus of concern due to high public visibility. After considerable discussion
with Mr. Elliott and Mr. Rintala, it�was agreed that the addition of at least �w
3 trees in a cluster, together with planter box containers, would be

exception to Section 6.03.3 of Ordinance 746 to permit installation of a
free-standing sign on a lot with less than 200 ft. of public street frontage.
Located on the east side of Bubb Road in the West Valley Industrial Park.
Presentation: Gene Landmun, President
Mr. Landmun stated that adequate signing was vital to the Bubb Road
manufacturing and office headquarters. He felt that existing trees
adjacent to the building foreclose the option of wall signing.
Staff pointed out potential locations for signing on the building.
Member Irvine felt that the rapid vehicular movement on Bubb Road
necessitates a ground sign; Member Johnson agreed with this position.
It was further determined by the Committee that there was no appropriate
location for a wall sign, given the existence of certain large trees.
Also, it was agreed that continuity with other Bubb Road businesses
would be provided by means of a ground sign -for subject site.
Chairman Bond requested comments from the audience; there were none forth-
coming.
While the Committee wished to approve a sign exception, there was some
concern regarding excessive lettering on the proposed sign. Therefore,
the applicant was requested to return to ASAC with a revised sign design.
Moved by Member Irvine, with a second by Member Johnson; to approve
Application HC-51,088.41 subject to conditions contained in Resolution
No. 868.

Mr. A. 0. Moe
The Committee was in general agreement that adequate signing for the

forthcoming.

no further action is required on this item.
