of the State Office of Historic Preservation." Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr. Attaway voted
no for reasons previously stated.
Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mr. Blanton, that Council approve Conditional Use Permit

recommended by the Earthquake Restoration Committee. Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr.

Carried unanimously.
Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mr. Blanton, that Council waive the handicapped
accessibility requirement on the second floor, which deletes condition #6 on page five of
tonight's report; rationale for the elevator is to open up the units to a larger market, including
seniors, and make it more comfortable for living. Carried by a vote of 3 ayes. Mr. Carlson
voted no feeling that this is an ideal location for handicapped to live, being in the downtown
area and on transportation routes. Mr. Attaway voted no for reasons previously stated.
Mr. Lien asked for clarification of # 16 on page 6 "all utilities serving this building shall be
underground." Due to the many easements associated with this property that the
undergrounding would have to negotiate, Mr. Lien asked for reconsideration of this requirement.
Mr. Bowman, Planning Director, explained that it is standard Town requirement that all services
provided to new and remodeled buildings are to be undergrounded.
Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Ventura, that Council approve Conditional Use Permit
Application EU-91-9A and Architecture and Site Application ES-90-23B subject to the conditions

HEARINGS CONTINUED
TRAFFIC FEES CONT.
Her feeling being that the raise in fees will severely impact certain businesses and will be passed
on to the patrons and employees, perhaps as much as $1,000 a year, and that this fee included
with other business expenses and restraints at this time is prohibitive. Answer to her concern
was that this fee would be triggered anytime there was intensification.
Joe Hargett, 95 Church Street, opposed the increase in fees at this particular time when the
Town is trying to generate business in the Downtown Business District. The perception of
increased expense and restrictions will not increase the motivation to establish business within
Los Gatos.
No one else from the audience addressed this issue.
Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mrs. Benjamin, to close the public hearing. Carried
unanimously.
Motion by Mrs. Benjamin, seconded by Mr. Attaway, that Council table the proposed revision
to the Town -wide traffic impact fees for six months and deliberate on it again in the spring while
looking at the economic situation at that time and to compare Town's fee schedule with other
communities'. Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr. Ventura voted no, feeling that the traffic impact
fees have a critical roll in the overall quality of life in Los Gatos; he would prefer to send the
item back to the Planning Commission to reevaluate the fee structure and to concentrate on the
development of large projects not the individual, established, small businesses.
