The radiant heat operated from below in the outdoor patio area of Steamers needs awnings to capture the heat as it rises. These awnings have to be high enough for fire safety. They are therefore higher than originally designed. Awning design to return to Council. Vice Mayor Blanton noted the items to be reviewed by Council at a later time and returned the meeting to the Mayor Hutchins. The following people from the audience spoke to this issue: Larry Arzie, 18000 Overlook Road, asked that the pilaster design on Sur La Table be sent back to the Planning Commission for redesign. Lee Schwager, Architect for Federal Realty, noted that there would be no need to encroach on Parking Lot 6 if the project went back to the stair design on Elm Street. Forty feet of the curb in Parking Lot 6 on the project's West boundary is in need of repair. Council noted that it would like that curb replaced and moved onto Town property. Jack Heinemann, noted that the pilaster design was approved by the Historic Committee and the Planning Commission. Leonard Pacheco, 50 Hernandez Ave, noted that the Planning Commission had asked for a pilaster design change which was never submitted to them. Council will review the design before agreeing to it. Shirley Henderson, 98 W. Main, asked about drainage. Lewis Arnez, 1990 The Alameda, explained the whole perimeter drainage system and where the area drains are located. Steamers internal drainage system will be tied to a grease trap which is located on the Elm Street side. Rex Morton, 51 University Ave, Ste. I, asked that those properties in the vicinity of this project be notified about the design changes that are being approved. Sandy Decker, 45 Glen Ridge, now that this side of the street is being addressed and improvements are being made she asked that Council consider reviewing the other side of the street where 50 University sits with construction elements that had not been approved by the Town. She asked for the addition of more historical elements. Jack Heinemann, noted that Federal Realty was working with Mr. Thorpe to make that a quality project. He does not have any plans tonight but intends to return with these ideas after this side is attended to and the designer has completed this portion of the project. The ideas and discussion will be forthcoming but the finished designs depend on another's time schedule. Janice Benjamin, The Indian Store, 50 University Ave, asked about the renovation of the amphitheater. Jack Heinemann, answered that the project is out to bid at present, and the goal is to complete the amphitheater by June 1st. No one else from the audience addressed this issue. HEARINGS CONTINUED UNIVERSITY AVENUE 50/OLD TOWN PROJECT/APPEAL/CONT. Council Discussion: Mayor Hutchins returned to discussion items noted earlier in the hearing: (8)Accessibility at the Gap to return for more discussion.) Mrs. Lubeck asked that the double French doors at the Gap and the double French doors at Banana Republic: 1) be open during business hours; 2) be accessible to the public; 3) be accessible from the Parking Lot 6 side of the building; 4) and that the design concept of the architecture and doors encourage as much access as possible. She asked that Mr. Heinemann ask the tenants one more time to arrange their interiors to allow public access from Parking Lot 6. Mr. Blanton is not prepared to condition each business to the layout of their internal business arrangements. Mr. Attaway desires to see the west elevation become as attractive as possible and attempt to regulate the use of the windows and doors, but he does not believe we can insist that a tenant must have their client enter and exit by a certain door. He realizes that the approvals given for inside modifications did not necessarily coincide with the exterior design. Mr. Pirzynski believes the direction of Council has been toward an attractive 360 degree architectural design and appealing accessibility to the businesses from all elevations of the building. As much as possible, he would like to see the original concept of openness and accessibility be realized for this project and supports the request for dual access. Jack Heinemann stated that his directions were to obtain 360 degree architecture and to acquire the design that was originally approved in 1997. In working toward that goal, no one ever asked for more than one customer entrance to the facility. Mr. Hutchins would like both sides of the French doors to open and be accessible for customer use. Lee Schwager, Project Architect, spoke of the fire codes, sprinkler system, mechanical elements, and the delay which would take place to redesign the interior. Future leases could be written to this effect, but currently there are large investment associated with the work already in place. Andy Faber, Project Attorney, 10 Almaden Blvd, representing Federal Realty, noted that 360 degree architecture was not a condition of approval, nor did it mean that there would be 360 degree access to the buildings. Tenants have pulled permits and proceeded with that approval and are not willing to make major changes at this time. He noted the tenants vested interests and their right to continue with their plans. Jack Heinemann noted that Sur La Table has a rear customer entrance. Steamer's has opened its doors to allow customers to proceed through the kitchen to reach the dinning room. He can not speak for the Gaps at this time. Mr. Pirzynski and Mr. Hutchins asked that Mr. Heinemann return to the Gap, explain the situation, and see what adjustments can be negotiated. Appellant noted that many shopping centers have designed dual entrances for their shops through the outside and through the mall. Janice Benjamin, The Indian Store, does not find the back entrance way a viable pedestrian entrance, nor does she believe many people will attempt to gain entrance from that location. She thinks these issues should have been addressed long before now. HEARINGS CONTINUED UNIVERSITY AVENUE 50/OLD TOWN PROJECT/APPEAL/CONT. Continued discussion on rear accessibility for the public: Larry Arzie, 18000 Overlook Road, does not think the configuration of these buildings will make rear public access a viable goal at this time. Viewing windows would be more logical. William Meyer, 15 Oak Hill Way, was annoyed with the whole procedure. Council consensus that applicant seek a means to provide the encouragement of pedestrian access that would create the feeling that the customer has access to the rear of the establishment as well as to the front. Mr. Albanese, Architect for the project, spoke of the roof diaphragm which would go right through the middle of a window treatment. He is unable to make a vision panel through it. The window on the elevator shaft is a real window because of the gabled roof behind it. The window in question can look very similar to the real one. Council consensus that it will have frosted glass and the same molding to match the frosted glass and window treatment on the northeast corner of the building. Motion by Mr. Hutchins, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck, to continue those items still under discussion to April 19, 1999, and to allow the project to continue working on those items which have received Council consensus. Carried unanimously. POLITICAL SIGNS IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY/WAIVER OF FEES (23.10) Mayor Hutchins stated that this was the time and place duly noted to consider request to waive Town fees for removal of political signs in the public right of way. Appellant: Donna Courtright. The following people from the audience spoke to this issue: Donna Courtright, 16381 E. La Chiquita, asked that Council review the fees charged to her political campaign for signs that had been placed in the public right of way. Tim Nelsen, 100 Amanda Lane, spoke in favor of Ms. Courtright's request. Bob Beckland, lives in San Jose, and noted San Jose's policy of noticing candidates to remove their illegally placed signs. Shirley Henderson, 98 W. Main Street, believes candidates should be more responsible for their signs. No one else from the audience addressed this issue. Motion by Mr. Blanton, to reduce Ms. Courtright's fine for the political sign removal. Motion died for lack of second. Motion by Mr. Hutchins, seconded by Mr. Attaway, to deny the request. Carried by a vote of 3 ayes. Mr. Blanton and Mr. Pirzynski voted no believing the fine should be reduced and that the notification policy should be modified. Council consensus that a registered letter be sent to the candidates in the future, with notification of inappropriate sign placement and thought be given to improving the present political sign removal and noticing process. COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 1997-98 (24.06) Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Pirzynski, that Council accept the 1997-98 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Carried unanimously. DOWNTOWN PARKING LOTS/FUNDING/SUB-SURFACE/DESIGN CONSULTANT (25.40) Mayor Hutchins stated that this was the time and place duly noted to consider funding more than two parking lots; sub-surface review for Lots 2 and 13; and appointing review panel for design consultant selection on April 16, 1999. A.Consider Funding More Than Two Parking Lots: Council Discussion: 1.Decide on first lot and proceed with available funding while decisions on second lot are made. Move forward immediately. Two councilmembers favor this option. 2.Work on two lots at the same time. Establish cooperative funding between public funds, assessment district, and user fees. Move forward in three months with a public and private partnership. Identify and pursue all funding sources. 3.Work on issues in #2 and at the end of three months proceed as in #1 if the private public partnership has not coalesced. Bert Millen, 301 N. Santa Cruz Ave, reported that the business community was working on the funding of two lots as fast as they can. Larry Arzie, 18000 Overlook Road, asked for continued fast track and borings at lots 2 and 13. Asked that the revenue stream be identified and the lot that is within the Town's budget be approved. He noted that a new assessment district could generate 10 million with his approval. B.Sub-Surface Review for Lots 2 and 13: Scott Baker, Director of Public Works, noted that with newly available technology, borings are not needed at this time to make a decision as to the size and design of the parking structure. The additional cost of two levels down is approximately $100,000. Council consensus to move forward on identifying the lot to be built without the additional cost of borings at this time. Rex Morton, 51 University, Ste.I, asked to move forward on the borings so the question as to sub-surface options would be answered. Bill Meyer, 15 Oak Hill Way, keep it simple and move forward. C.Appoint Review Panel for Design Consultant Selection on April 16, 1999: Public Works Director, Scott Baker, noted that staff usually serves on the panels for selecting consultants, but in this case believes that Council would prefer to make assignments to this position. Mayor Hutchins, Linda Lubeck and Sandy Decker were appointed to serve on the selection panel, and one staff person will be assigned. David Knapp, Town Manager, announced that he would return the $10,000 check to the person who had given it to him, Bert Millen. Sue Farwell, 121 Laurel Ave, asked when the sites would be considered again. The answer from staff was April 19th. UNIVERSITY AVENUE 31/OLD TOWN PROJECT/APPEAL (12.09) Mayor Hutchins stated that this was the time and place duly noted to consider adopting resolution denying an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to approve of a modification to a Conditional Use Permit for a restaurant on property zoned C-2:PD:LHP. Project Application: PRJ-98-163. Property Location: 31 University Avenue. Property Owner: SRI Old Town LLC. Applicant: Steamer's Seafood - Grillhouse. Appellant: Stacy J. Stewart. Randy Attaway asked that the resolution have some amendments made to it: 1) that the number of feet allocated to outdoor dinning be better defined in the resolution; 2) that after the third enforcement issue having to do with the placement of the planter boxes and tables, this item will return to Council for reconsideration; 3) Identify where the objects that are being used outside are going to be stored. Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck, to continue this item to April 19, 1999. Carried unanimously. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Steve Blanton and Mayor Hutchins attended a luncheon with Tom Campbell. Campbell requested that cities write to Governor Davis asking that National Guard Armories be made available for year around homeless shelters. Mr. Blanton volunteered to work on the letter. Joe Pirzynski, reported that the Trails and Bikeways Committee did a site visitation of the Guadalupe property to identify the appropriate trail proposals. Mid-Peninsula Open Space and the owner will be discussing this with the Town. Joe Pirzynski noted that the Emergency Preparedness Council was going to encourage a community wide celebration in October with training programs for earthquake preparedness.
