Kendra Burch arrived at 4:40 p.m.
Comments:
• The committee was not in favor of medical uses.
• The smallest option is most appropriate.
• Underground parking is a good idea.
• The applicant should take into the consideration the strong need for a sit down restaurant
in that area.
• The intersection of Los Gatos Boulevard and Shannon Road is very dangerous and well
used by bicyclists and pedestrians. Look for ways to make it safer for those that use it.
• Look for multiple tenants as it might be hard to find one tenant to occupy the retail space.
• The mixed-use retail and affordable housing option which could meet a need in the Town
but will also increase the traffic.
• A bicycle parking area should be included.
• Make sure the proposed project complies with the Town’s Parking Guidelines. Also, note
that parking issues are scheduled to go to Council and changes may occur to the
guidelines.
• The least appealing option is the large option.
• Articulation and architecture will be important.
• Residential may not be appropriate.
