VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS CONT.
Pollard and Capri Area:
Bill Winter, spoke of the parking issues involved with the Court House on Capri. He noted the
difficulty in getting to the mailboxes on Capri. He also noted constant construction at 1300
Pollard Road which has caused rough driving where the work is ongoing. The Open Doors
Housing Development on West Parr was also a subject of discussion. He noted that the on site
manager does not do a proper job of maintenance. The repairs are not kept up and the children
are not under control. He asked that the entire curb on West Parr, from Capri to Pollard, be
painted red to eliminate the maze of cars found on the street at this time.

Ray Davis, resident, objected to a Council Member’s living arrangements and commented on the
work done by Community Development Director, Bud Lortz.

HEARINGS
CALLE MARGUERITA 300/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/APPEAL (19.15)
Mayor Attaway announced that this was the time and place so noted for public hearing to consider
a request for approval of a zone change from R-1:8 to RM:5-12:PD to construct eight
townhouses. No significant environmental impacts have been identified and a Mitigated Negative
Declaration is recommended. File PD-99-2 and ND-99-10. Property Location: 300 Calle
Marguerita. Property Owner: HL&L 99 LLC. Applicant: Sui Hwu.
The following people from the audience addressed this item:
Jitka Cymbal, Westfall Engineers, representing the owner, explained the history of the planned
development. She spoke of the seven units and one BMP unit, the ample parking that is being
provided for onsite visitors and that 60% of the project site will be landscaped offering a buffer
for the Highway 85 noise.
Carla Dougher, 189 Wedgewood Ave, spoke of the lack of consistency in the neighborhood
architecture styles and would appreciate more consistency in approving single family home
projects. She views this proposal as a density issue and asked for only five units to be approved
which would add to the quality of life in her neighborhood.
Ray Davis, resident, questioned the policy of infill projects.

that all homes would face out toward the street.
Neil Corpron, asked for less than 8 units to avoid cramming, traffic and parking problems.
Bill Dougher, thanked Council for getting the utility box enclosed. He asked that the following
issues be considered regarding this project: reduced density; compatibility with the neighborhood;
units to be facing the street; the increased traffic on the street; the high traffic volume on Pollard;
a stop sign to be placed at Neville; and the need for traffic calming measures in this location.
Lexi Gulesserlan, requested a lower number of units due to traffic impacts and asked that the
houses face the street.
Kaity McCullough, supports a proposal of 4 units with individual back yards.
Kristen McCullough, asked for a smaller development with less traffic impacts.

HEARINGS CONTINUED
CALLE MARGUERITA 300/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT/CONT. (19.15)
Speakers continued:
Allan Messer, asked for more appropriate styling for the immediate neighborhood; trees to block
out the noise of the freeway; and addressing the visibility for traffic on Pollard.
Sarah Lawley, spoke of people using their two car garage for storage and then parking on the
street for lack of onsite parking. She noted the safety of children due to the increase in traffic.
Alan Johnson, asked about the upkeep of the project if it became rental units.
Jason VanBenthysen, asked for quality not quantity and smaller number of units that would keep
a family in place.
Don Cordero, the existing neighborhood is requesting less density, less traffic and less parking.
Dean Chesnut, supported the project speaking of the good design that reflects charm and small
town style. He himself would not be interested in a home with more land. He wants the empty
lot developed with the project which will help cut down the noise from the freeway and be a
lovely addition to the neighbrhood.
Jitka Cymbal, spoke of the playground on site and the area landscaping. She noted that the
CC&Rs would attend to the overall maintenance and upkeep of the project. Many of the
neighbors are looking forward to the project. Four units would not be able to support a
homeowner’s association for the maintenance. A cluster is needed on the parcel.
No one else from the audience addressed this issue.
Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Glickman, that Council to close the public
hearing.
Council Comments:
Council would like the site lines, speeds and berm at the North East end of the Shopping Center
addressed as to driver comfort in exiting on to Pollard Road. The ivy will be taken out for clear
site distance and the permits or finals will not be granted until safety improvements are made.
The corner does not meet the state requirements for a traffic signal but the project is willing to add

something as a community benefit.
Rental properties are considered as a positive asset in Los Gatos. They are able to add to the mix
of housing in our community. Although the neighborhood is being considered, the needs of the
community as a whole must be looked at. Council approved the 8 units at the last meeting and
the project has gone through Conceptual Advisory and Planning Commission.
Sandy Decker asked to change the zoning in this neighborhood to PD 5. She would like to see
five units which would help with the traffic issues and have the homes face the street to be able to
add a community feeling to the project. She does not believe the infill findings can be made
unless the project returns to A&S for a more compatible design. She would like the project
remanded or denied.
Motion by Mrs. Decker, to deny the appeal. Motion dies for lack of a second.
Motion by Mr. Glickman, seconded by Mr. Blanton, to approve the zone change. Carried by a
vote of 4 ayes. Mrs. Decker voted no.

General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are internally consistent with the General Plan and its
Elements; That the in-fill project requires findings of Community Benefit; That the infill project
contributes to the further development of the surrounding neighborhood, improves circulation,

surrounding zoning with respect to the existing scale and character of the surrounding structures;
