Refer to the Town Attorney for preparation ofthe appropriate resolution. BACKGROUND This report focuses primarily on the issues raised by the appellant regarding traffic generated by LaRinconada County Club. For a complete analysis of the project, please refer to the Planning Commission report (Attachment 6). When the LaRinconada Country Club opened in the 1930's, the main entrance was on Wedgewood Avenue. County records indicate that the Wedgewood entrance was still in use in the 1960's. This entrance was subsequently closed due to vandalism problems. In 1988, the Club filed an application to annex to the Town to expand their facility. During the hearing process, the Clearview/LaRinconda neighborhood expressed concerns about the Club's traffic which now had its its entire access from Clearview Drive (east entrance). The Planning Commission requested that the Club investigate the feasibility ofreopening the Wedgewood Avenue (west entrance) for their members and deliveries. Due to past vandalism problems, the Club did not want to fully open the east entrance. As a compromise, the Club suggested to the Commission that the east entrance be open for vendors and service trucks. On June 8, 1988, the Commission concurred and made this a condition ofapproval.

Architecture and Site The applicant is requesting approval to demolish an existing pro shop, to add onto and construct new outbuildings, expand and upgrade landscaping and parking facilities and to remodel and add on to the existing club house. The maximum height of the existing building is 24 feet and the proposed maximum height will be 30 feet. The average height ofthe building will be 26 feet. Storypoles were not required since the addition was mainly on the first floor and the average height increase was minimal. For a complete description of the work proposed, see Section A.I of Attachment 6. 2. Use The applicant is requesting approval to modifY the use permit to increase the membership and to allow outside dining for the existing restaurant and grill area. The membership is proposed to be increased from 451 members to 511. The basis for this request is that the usage. of the Club has dropped by almost 20%. Many of the members have multiple memberships at other clubs, and/or members spend their winters in Palm Springs and Scottsdale and have the option to play at ten new golf courses in the area. Given the reduction in usage, the Club is requesting to increase the membership by 60 members. The club is also requesting to have outdoor dining for the restaurant" grill area and snack shop. There will be no increase in the total number ofrestaurant seats. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission considered this matter on June 9, 2004 and approved the applications subject to conditions (Attachment 5). APPEAL: An appeal ofthe decision ofthe Planning Commission was filed (Attachment 4). The basis for the appeal is that the information from staff did not take into account certain facts that could have lead the Commissioners to request further study of the traffic on Wedgewood Avenue. Staffmet with the appellant two times to review a variety of issues regarding the project since the appellant was was not in attendance at the Planning Commission hearing. Staffwill also be meeting with the appellant the day ofthe public hearing to the discuss the following issues which were raised by the appellant at earlier meetings. 1. Adequate notice was not given in a timely matter. Pursuant to State and Town Code requirements, notices were mailed ten days before the hearing. The US Postal Service is not always consistent with their delivery times which the Town cannot control. The public hearing was advertised in the Los Gatos Weekly newspaper, the Planning Commission agenda was posted in four prominent locations around Los Gatos and the Planning Commission agenda was posted on the Town's Web site. PAGE 4 􀁍􀁁􀁙􀁏􀁒􀁁􀁎􀁄􀁔􀁏􀁗􀁎􀁃􀁏􀁕􀁎􀁃􀁾 SUBJECT: APPEAL 14595 CLEARVIEWDRIVE August 12, 2004 2. The Planning Commission report was not made available until afew days before the hearing. The report was mailed to the appellant the same day the report was distributed to the Planning Commission which is Town policy. 3. Some neighbors did not receive a notice., Approximately 780 public notices were mailed. Due to the size of the subject site and the complexity of designating which 􀁰􀁡􀁲􀁣􀁾􀁬􀁳 were exactly within 300 feet of the site, the Town noticedbeyond the required 300 foot radius. Any parcel located on a County Assessor;!; map page which was within 300 feet of the site was noticed. Based on this method, the Town over noticed the public hyarirtg. The To;wrt met with one neighbor who stated she did not receive ahearlng notice. Although it was iater determined her property is approximately 700 feet from the subject site, she was added to the notice list for this public"hearing. 4. Traffic study donefor the club in 1988 did not include WedgewoodAvenue. A traffic study was not prepared for the 1988 project since it was determined that the project would not generate additional peak hourtrips. In accordance 'with the Town's Traffic hUpact Policy, a traffic study was not prepared for the proposed project since it would generate a limited amount ofadditional traffic and no peak hour trips. . 5. Dispersion oftrajfic was not discussed in 1988 as stated at th.e recent public hearing. At the May 11, 1988 hearing, the Planning Commission discussed the history of the closure of the origirtal'entrance to the Club. The Planning Commission discussed the issue oftraffic at length during the 1988 and 20'04 public hearings. 6. Traffic concerns are also aitributedto Sajeway deliveries and vehicles from the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Town staff contacted the manager ofthe Pollard Road Safeway who has taken action to direct their deliveries away:from Wedgewood Avenue. Staffwill also contact the Water District to request cooperation :from that agency regarding traffic issues. 7, Was Wedgewood Avenue designed to support the weight ofdelivery trucks? There is p.o data available on the design criteria of Wedgewood Avenue. Pavement corings would need to be taken to perform this analysis. The Town Engineer has concluded that Wedgewood Aveuqeis adequate to accept service vehicles. 8. ClearviewDrive is also a neighborhood collectorstreet. The General Plan designates CIearview Drive as neighborhood collector :from LaRirtconda Drive to Wedgewood Avenue. Clearview Drive loops beyond LaRinconada Drive where the entrance to the Club is located. This portion of Clearview Drive is designated as a local street. " 9. Local Streets are not listed in the GeneralPlan. The General Plan defines all street designations. The General Plan also lists the boundaries of specific streets which are classified as an arterial street, collector street, neighborhood collector, or hillside collector. Any street that is not listed under these street categories is considered a local street. 10. The Town has the right to restrict truck traffic on roads. Subsequent to the Planning Commission public hearing; staffinformed the appellant that it is possible to install signs at the intersection ofWimbledon<Drive and Wedgewood Avenue to restrict cut through truck traffic. Staff is further researching this matter. 11. How are trip generations calculatedfor residential andgolfcourse uses? Based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Traffic Design Manual, a single family residence generates 10 Average Daily Trips (ADT). Trip rates for golf courses and golfcountry clubs are based on the size ofthe course and the number ofholes. Based on the trip generation rates in the ITE manual, PAGES 􀁍􀁁􀁙􀁏􀁒􀁁􀁎􀁄􀁔􀁏􀁗􀁎􀁃􀁏􀁕􀁎􀁃􀁾 SUBJECT: APPEAL 14595 CLEARVIEW DRIVE August 12,2004 the typical ADT for a Country Club, similar to LaRinconada, is 643 trips. Recent traffic counts show that LaRinconada Country Club generates an average of 412 trips per day. The proposed increase in memberships will most likely increase the traffic slightly, but the generated trips will still be well below the ITE average use of an 18 hole golf course. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS To assist Council in considering the appellants concerns, staff conducted a traffic count ofthe two entrances to the Club. This studywas conducted the last week in July. The east entrance (Clearview) had an average daily volume of 363 trips (inbound and outbound) or 181 vehicles, which included less than one truck per day. The total truck count for the week at this entrance was three. The west entrance (Wedgewood) had an average daily volume of 49 trips (inbound and outbound) or 25 vehicles, which included 4.5 trucks per day. Please note that the traffic counters cannot differentiate between two axle personal and commercial trucks. Therefore, the truck volumes do not represent all delivery trucks, merely the trucks that have two rear axles. Based on this information, it is clear that the eaSt entrance (Clearview) handles the bulk ofthe trips to and from the Club. Council should be aware that the project includes the relocation ofthe service entry gate to reduce traffic impacts onWedgewood Avenue. The gate is currently located west ofMulberry Avenue. The gate will be relocated easterly to line up with Mulberry Avenue and the entry has been designed to set back 25 feet from the road to allow a staging area for the delivery vehicles. The existing service entrance can not be modified to provide the staging area due to the location of a PG&E pole and trees. There is also an entry gate at the southern end ofthe golfcourse offofZena Avenue, which is located in Monte Sereno. This gate is used for the golf course maintenance staff and an occasional golf course course supply delivery. There is no access from this entry to the Club building. DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS Wedgewood Avenue is in need ofdrainage improvements. As part oftheir application approval, the Club has agreed to work with the Town to provide drainage improvements to assist the Wedgewood neighborhood. These improvements are listed below. Prior to the appeal of these applications, the applicant and the Town intended to implement the storm drainage improvements this fall. Iffinal action is taken at this meeting, it is still possible to implement these improvements before this winter. However, it will be necessary to streamline the plan check process in order to complete the improvements prior to the rainy season. The applicant will prepare an hydraulic studyofthe watershed to analyze existing drainage issues along the roadside ditch adjacent to Wedgewood Avenue between Mulberry Drive and Wimbledon Drive prior to the issuance of a building permit. • The applicant has agreed to pay for the installation of approximately 1,500 feet of curb, gutter and sidewalk within the Town's public right of way along Wedgewood Avenue, east of the existing driveway, to mitigate the existing drainage problems in this area. • The applicant has agreed to provide plans for the design and construction ofa public storm drain PAGE 6 􀁍􀁁􀁙􀁏􀁒􀁁􀁎􀁄􀁔􀁏􀁗􀁎􀁃􀁏􀁕􀁎􀁃􀁾 SUBJECT: APPEAL 14595 CLEARVIEW ORNE August 12,2004 between Mulberry Drive and Wimbledon Drive. The developer will not be responsible for funding the public storm drain improvements or design. This public storm drain will be constructed by the Town concurrently with theWedgewood Avenue curb, gutter and sidewalk. • The mounding in the vicinity ofthe 6th hole will be modified to increase on-site detention and to re-direct the overland drainage release to the Santa Clara Valley Water District ditch adjacent to Wedgewood Avenue, west of MulberryDrive.

Before they start, Mr. Lortz, would you kind of give us a little background on this project-I know it's a long, complicated staff report for for both us and the members of the audience-to kind of know where we're at and what is on the table tonight. DIRECTOR LORTZ: I'd just like to make a few a number of comments that were made by the neighborhood, issues about traffic: truck traffic, cut-through traffic, the speeds of the traffic, and the volume of traffic. There were also comments certainly about storm drainage; that has been a major issue out in that neighborhood and the neighborhood certainly informed us about some of the LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 2 specific concerns they had.

The other aspect is that onsite, over by the sixth hole, the neighbors have identified that during peak runoff there's a need for additional onsite detention, and 10 25 10 partner with them. The engineering staff has worked with them to put together a grant application that has been submitted to the Valley Transportation Authority. In addition, the Town is working with the Water District to identify additional drainage improvements for the area. Many of the improvements identified to date are included in the five-year Capital Improvements Program, which are longer-range improvements, but certainly are planed for. 11 12 13 14 15 so we've quantified that and have directed the applicant to provide that onsite detention, and then also to redirect the overland drainage to the Santa Clara Valley Water District ditch adjacent to Wedgewood, west of Mulberry. This will cause the drainage to flow in the channel in a 11 12 13 15 And then the other issue that we've been trying to do is, as I mentioned before, balance the competing traffic issues between the Clearview neighborhood-many of those neighbors are here tonight-as well as the Wedgewood neighborhood, to try to balance the impacts of traffic in 16 westerly direction.

Jim Rubnitz, 17610 processions, parties, and anniversaries; and so again, it's Blanchard Drive, Monte Sereno, representing La Rinconada. 2 available for the community as a whole. And certainly we Nice to see everyone again on some non-driving range issues, which is somewhat pleasant. I think it makes· most sense tonight for me to 6 deal with the non-architectural issues and let Ken deal with the architectural issues. And so the two issues that really are before you in terms of the Use Permit deal with the increased membership and the outdoor dining. 10 But I think it's 11 important to remember that this 12 club as a whole, for a lot of reasons, provides a lot of 13 benefits for the entire community, and that's why it's 14 important for us to do not only a good job for our 15 membership, but for the community as a whole. 6 10 11 12 13 14 15 use it for meeting rooms and the like. So it's important that this project comes off, not only because we want to make sure it does for our 401 members, but also for the community as a whole. As I said, there are really two issues with respect to the Use Permit that we need to address. We have requested that we increase the Use Permit from 451 to 511. We base that request not on pure calculation, but we started off and did a historical tracking of the number of rounds and the number of people who actually come up to the club, and we found that the last time the Use Permit was approved, the rounds were somewhere in excess of 40,000. 16 17 Certainly there's almost 150 members who are residents of Los Gatos that want to make sure that this 16 Typically the rounds of golf now are around 33,000, so 17 we've seen a reduction of about 20%, and we believe that 18 project comes off well. But it serves as a local venue for 18 the extra 60 members has little impact, given what's going 19 a lot of golf-related local activities. The Police 19 on in the club there. 20 21 22 23 24 25 Department, the auto dealers, local restaurants and the like all hold golf-related activities out there. The membership itself certainly hosts activities out there, but the facility is open for non-members, and we very often host weddings, bar mitzvahs, funeral 20 21 22 23 24 25 And I think it's important to understand, even though we're requesting 60 additional members, it is still subject to control and approval by the club. I stand here with the experience both as a board member and a member of the club to tell you that if this is approved we're not LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 7 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 8 going to add 60 members tomorrow. I suspect ten members would be approved, an? we would take a look and see how that goes. I think the idea would be to ultimately approve approximately 30 certificated, or golfing members, and 30 2 that second request would be to remove that item of the Use Permit. And I think that's it, other than some architectural items. I do think it's important to 51 non-golfing, or social and junior members, so that we have the flexibility there to allow for additional membership. So again,· I don't think the concern that increased membership represen.ts increased use or increased understand, we have had a number of meetings with the neighbors, specifically Wedge wood, and believe, as Bud has eliminated here, we've dealt with hydrology questions, we've dealt with traffic questions, we're dealing with 10 traffic is valid, and I certainly want to talk and respond 10 entrance questions. When this project is complete, I 11 12 to questions regarding that. With respect to the second request, request, the outdoor 11 12 believe the neighbors in Wedgewood will be very satisfied. So I certainly want to respond to questions maybe after Ken 13 dining, I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

We have not had any complaints from any of the adjacent neighbors regarding the times we're'out there hosting events, and so for us it makes a lot of sense. Certainly it would be controlled by the hours and 19 20 21 22 23 24 La Rinconada, a Spanish club with a deco building and sort of a warehouse at the back, and turning it back into a Spanish set of architecture.

We're going to return the golf 69 The thing that always struck me as a kid corning up here, and as an adult, is that this bUilding just seemed like it had add-on after add-on, and what we've tried to do is do four sided architecture. We've corne back with adding tile roofs to the building-which of course it doesn't have today-and an entire new plaster system on the exterior of course to its original design, which I think takes advantage of this view, as Jim mentioned, back to the 5 valley. It also now takes and wraps the architecture completely around the building, and it gave us the opportunity to really complete this project and make it what I think is going to be a real positive addition to the 10 11 12 13 the building. We're utilizing stone as softening, warm material at all entries, which would be the main entry, 'as shown right in front of of you, the drive-up entry, and the main 10 11 12 13 neighborhood visually.

By 16 adding a landscaping in the parking lot and vegetative 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Then around the back side of the building, we have an entry tower that will be an entrance into what is the starter, or pro shop, because right now there's a building, as you know, that sits out in the parking lot that is a separate pro shop. That building sits approximately right in here and has a cart barn below it, a starter, and the first tee box, which is located here.

While we've added a few parking stalls to the site, the reason that we did this is on peak times-and they're typically community events, such as the Police Officers Golf Tournament, CB Hannegan's, and some other of the local people-the parking lot cannot accommodate enough cars, and therefore they're parked along what is a practice LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 12 hole right at the entry right here.

COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: In 1993, 16,000. JIM RUBNITZ: Yes, that's what happened. We closed the golf course, and so it went from 40,000 to 16,000. And typically what's happening is we have seen a tremendous amount of our membership go down in rounds 10 11 12 as the members' habits have changed now, there's nothing saying that in the future they won't use the club more. My understanding of this is you're aiming to have approximately the same impacts as you did in the very beginning. JIM RUBNITZ: Correct.

LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3; 14595 Clearview Drive 31 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 REZA SOLIMAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here to speak against changing the traffic flow to and from the country club. To clarify the existing situation, right now, I would like to picture what the streets look like. If you compare Clearview versus Wedgewood, or La Rinconada versus Wedgewood, from LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 32 Winchester up to the end of Wedgewood, you have five stop signs and one stoplight. However, if you look at La Rinconada and Clearview, there is none, because it wasn't zoned for trucks going through. Or if you look at Wedgewood, there are double lines right in the middle of the street. There is absolutely no line in La Rinconada or Clearview. Now if you look at the traffic flow, what traffic goes into these streets, on Wedgewood today you have 10 2 10 The other thing that I'd like to mention about the people who are living on both these streets, if you look at the majority of people living on La Rinconada and Clearview, everybody's young and everybody has a kid in; every house has a minimum of one, two, 􀁯􀁾 three. If you especially look at the weekends, you're going to see a lot of young kids riding their bikes in the street. Do the same thing on WedgewQod. You see none of it, because that street wasn't zoned for this market; that street was zoned 11 Safeway delivery trucks going through Wedgewood, you have 11 for trucks, buses, and cars. Otherwise, we wouldn't have 12 Courts ide delivery trucks going through that. You have 12 the two traffic lines right in the middle of it. And 13 normal delivery trucks going through, because it's a 13 that's all I have to say. 14 through traffic street, going through 􀁗􀁾􀁤􀁧􀁥􀁷􀁯􀁯􀁤􀀮 On La 14 CHAIR BURKE: Thank you. Any questions? The 15 Rinconada and· Clearview, none of them come today. 16 Furthermore, two years ago the people of 15 next speaker is Michael Hubbard, followed by Ina 16 Batinovich. n Wedgewood requested the VTA to put a bus line 􀁾􀁮 that 17 MICHAEL HUBBARD: Thanks very much. II m a La 18 street. If they are so concerned about scheduled trucks 18. Rinconada resident. In the current proposal, with respect 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 that go to and from La Rinconada, why do they want a bus on that street? So really, scheduled trucks going to and from La Rinconada is not that much of a problem, versus the trucks that couldn't make a turn at La Rinconada, making changes to be able to turn easily. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 33 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 to changing the· traffic to Clearview, I think it's intuitively obvious if you visit the La Rinconada Drive, that as the previous speaker said, It's not set up for that type of traffic, both the membership traffic as well as the truck traffic. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 34 I think the increase in truck traffic would create an unsafe situation. La Rinconada does not have any stoplights, it doesn't have any stop signs, it has no crosswalks, and it has no sidewalks. At least in the recent past years the new 6 residents that bought homes, bought those homes in consideration of the facts as they are now, which is that truck deliveries are made on Wedgewood and members come to A second point with respect to increasing the membership, I hadn't realized before this meeting that that was a proposal. I'm not necessarily against doing that, because it appears that the traffic patterns would only modestly be changed. But in view of 􀁴􀁨􀁾 comments that I 6 had made previously about the amount of traffic and the street situation, I think that the Commission and the country club should at least consider making some 10 11 12 1) 'the country club by and large through La Rinconada and 'Clearview, so I think that should be considered. Also with respect to the point about Wedgewood wanting to move the traffic to La Rinconada, I think that recommendations or changes with respect to either speed. 10 bumps or signs to indicate that traffic should slow down. 11 12 There are about 35 kids within about a block radius of at 13 least our house, and as I said before, no stop signs, no 14 you could also maybe take a look at. it similarly .with 15 respect to La Rinconada might want to make a proposal to 14 stoplights, no crosswalk, and no sidewalks. Thanks very 15 much. 16 move all the traffic to Wedgewood; but La Rinconada and 16 CHAIR BURKE: Any questions? I just want to 17 Clearview is not making that suggestion or recommendation, 17 clarify something. Right now there is no proposal to 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 and I 􀁢􀁾􀁬􀁩􀁥􀁶􀁥 they're not making that suggestion because it is unfair, and by the same token, I think it would be unfair for all of the traffic, both the truck traffic and the membership traffic, to be diverted to La Rinconada and Clearview. I think it's intuitively obvious that it's not necessary, it's unfair, it's unsafe, and I would urge you to vote against it. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 35 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 change the traffic patters to La.Rinconada; it just was a suggestion from some of the Wedgewood residents. DIRECTOR LORTZ: Correct. The conditions of approval read as proposed that the trucks would stay on Wedgewood; the members would use Clearview and La Rinconada.

INA BATINOVICH: Hi, my name is Ina Batinovich. I am a resident of a planned unit development on Wimbledon Drive, not Wedgewood and not La Rinconada. Many people are referring to Wimbledon as Wedgewood; it is a separate 8 street from Wedgewood. We are Wimbledon, we are the ones who have the stoplight at the end, we are the narrowly 10 26 10 through the stop sign without stopping, either making a left-hand turn onto Clearview to then proceed to the country club, or proceeding down to Wedgewood to then deal with that entire mess which we're all very familiar with. That street is so small that the trucks cannot make tpat turn without jumping the curb, going 'over _the center divide, and disrupting the curb. If you go look at the curbs, they're all crunched, the concrete is a mess out there, and it's in bad need of repair. 11 divided street that then has the stop sign at the end that 11 Five times times a year we deal with convoys of sand 12 links to both Clearview and Wedgewood. So I just wanted 12 trucks coming down our street, and I do mean convoys, 13 14 15 that to be clear to everybody, because we seem to be left out of the discussion here. This is clearly a discussion of not in my -13 14 15 because it's several days of convoys, of tandem trucksthose are the double long trucks-coming down our street to disperse sand onto the golf course. 16 neighborhood.

Maybe it was made too narrow, but the issue was the 24 20 23 21 22 19 CHAIR BURKE: Well, I've been living here for 40 INA BATINOVICH: Twenty-eight years. years.

That was one of the few streets that we were 11 59 10 11 making a right turn off of Clearview onto Wimbledon, completely destroyed as well, because large trucks consistently run over that curb. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: I don't know how we clarify it; I mean how we validate that. KEVIN ROHANI: That's something we would have to look at.

It's a street that over the years has 14 study been done of an alternate route as suggested, Pollard 15 to Wedgewood to the country club delivery? 14 always had increasing amounts of traffic.

The fact 17 18 folks off of Wedgewood, off of Pollard, about that as an option. 17 18 of the matter is that's really not the case; more traffic has ended up on Wedgewood Avenue. time during the day you can't travel down that street and Wedgewood Avenue is a very preferred route for find foot traffic, bicyclists, and joggers. The street for 19 20 21 22 23 INA BATINOVICH: Why not? Let's get another street involved. CHAIR BURKE:. Thank you very much. Gloria Egan and Margaret Likens. 19 20 21 22 23 pedestrians, joggers, and bicyclists. There's hardly a 24 24 the most part has no improvements to accommodate 25 25 pedestrians. Bicyclists are constantly competing for space LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 43 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 44 in either direction in the traffic lanes. I think that .1 issue of safety, in my opinion, is the Water District. For that needs to be carefully taken into consideration, because there's really nowhere for that road go. It is a narrow road; we do have the Santa Clara Water District's levees along the way in a variety of places. Those lev.ees restrict access along the walkways there. There's even a pathway along the levee in front of my house on the fence side of the levee, just because 9 2569 years they had large semi-trucks transporting materials up to the water treatment facility, and it just became too great of a safety hazard to where they finally then removed them off of the Wimbledon-Wedgewood route and they went the extra distance around Pollard and headed up the divided road on up to the plant. They're really the only ones that did that, I think for safety reasons, when this issue came 10 people don't like walking on the streets and over the years 10 up. 11 we've created a pathway so to speak. Dirt constantly comes 11 CHAIR BURKE: Thank you. Questions? I'm going 12 13 14 15 down the levees, it pushes a dirt area into the lane, that lane narrows down accordingli. The point that I want to make there is that at best it is a concern in terms of safety; traffic speeds are 12 13 14 15 to ask you a couple. The use for truck deliveries coming in the Wedgewood entrance, as opposed to the Clearview entrance, the Planning Commission's hands are probably pretty well 16 a problem. For your information,. the two stop signs that 16 tied on that, because of the General Plan designation of 17 were put along Wedgewood were there as an attempt from 11 the street. We don't have necessarily the authority to 18 years ago to solve this problem of traffic. When the Town 18 change that. 19 of Los Gatos incorporated the Wedgewood area into the Town, 19 But what we may have the authority to do is 20 the street was managed no longer by the county, which means 21 we had the CHP overseeing that street, and they actually 22 did a lot lot of traffic control there. 20 21 22 23 possibly restrict the hours in which truck deliveries could be made, possibly limit the size of the trucks. One of the previous speakers made the comment about the double trailer 24 25 The last comment I wanted to make then is that the only group that has attempted to really deal with this LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 45 24 25 trucks. We might or might not be able to restrict them, I don'.t know. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 46 What, if any, of those options-and this question of whether we're talking Clearview or whether we're talking 2 goes for any of the other people who are on Wedgewood and the Wedgewood area. Wimbledon-would be helpful in your mind? I live in very For the most part, I think a lot of the traffic east Los Gatos and I live within earshot of the dump, and does occur during normal business hours of the week, Monday 6 the only problem with the dump, other than when the wind shifts, is 6:00 O'clock every morning the trucks start through Friday, and I think it may very well be that in 6 evaluating this issue that we've really got to look at the rumbling by. At 7:00 o'clock I don't notice it anymore. type of use of the streets, Clearview and Wedgewood, during 9 But if I didn't have that 6:00 to 7:00 window, it would be 9 those periods of times of the day and the safety life better, safer, whatever? would have the authority to condition that would make your 10 11 12 half the problem. So is there anything like that that we considerations related to that. Monday through Friday 10 during normal business hours, I can assure you, there is 11 12 foot traffic, joggers, and bicyclists up and down the 13 GARY EGAN: I think first of all it is an 13 Wedgewood street. Not to say that there is not on 14 important point to make that this truck traffic is not a 14 Clearview; I could not comment on that because I don't live 15 constant seven day a week ongoing issue. There are times 15 on that street. 16 when there are multiple trucks arriving at the gate there 16 CHAIR BURKE: That was really directed toward 17 to head up, because there is always peak times of 17 Wedgewood and Wimbledon.

There's not show me houses; 15 months ago would put us in the wintertime, and again, last 16 winter, I was in my hip boots with water up to my knees, 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 they're the original houses that have been there for a very long time. like golf courses; I think they're pretty, and if run right, they can be good neighbors. But if they're run poorly and are bad neighbors, making them bigger and putting more efforts into their own grandiose designs don't make them better neighbors. I listened to the gentleman 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 trying to get the sewage system and the drains working, because the drainage system from the golf course flows down to Mulberry and La Rinconada and it floods everybody out. It's been doing it every year; it still does it. We've talked to the golf course many times; sometimes they fix it, sometimes they don't. You say there's going to be a study. Studies 25 from Monte Sereno talking about the true test is the impact 25 don't help us. You say they don't have to do a LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 C1earview Drive 49 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 50 hydrological impact statement. Why not? It affects the DIRECTOR LORTZ: Just a couple of things. First 2 people down the hill. Seriously, I watched acre-feet of 2 off, maybe I wasn't clear. The Wedgewood neighborhood, 69 10 11 water rolling down La Rinconada last year; it was unbelievable. When that ditch fills up from debris and the golf course runoff hits it, it only has one place to go: over the road or through the culverts down into the neighborhoods. And unless that's addressed seriously, we're going to continue to have that every year. Now I notice that the staging area that's set at Mulberry is also adjacent to where the drainage ditch is. 356 10 11 inclUding the folks on Mulberryand'La Rinconada have made it extremely clear to the Town that there's a storm drain problem out there. We, are working on it. Part 'of the things that we're doing with this project is to eliminate that problem. Everything west of Mulberry has been carefully studied to eliminate that problem. There are other projects that are are broader in scope and magnitude and are very, very expensive fixes that we are endeavoring to 12 I don't know what a staging area is. Does that mean 12 put into the Capital Improvement Program to complete. So 13 they're going to increase the parking for big trucks? Can 14 someone tell me what a staging area means at that entrance 15 to the golf course? 13 we have pushed this project to solve the problems that you 14 raised. The neighbors have made it very clear to us and 15 we've been very responsive to that. We're very sensitive 16 17 CHAIR BURKE, You wrap up. I'll ask Staff to answer that question for you. 16 to that issue. So as far as the conditions that have been 17 imposed on this project, were specifically included to IS JESS GUy: I asswne the hydraulic study has not 18 address your concern. 19 been done, is that correct? 20 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Correct. 21 JESS GUY: Thank you. 22 23 24 25 CHAIR BURKE: If you'll stay there for a minute, I will ask Mr. Lortz, would you please explain the staging area are Mulberry for the speaker? 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 As far as the staging area is 􀁣􀁯􀁮􀁣􀁥􀁲􀁮􀁾􀁤􀀬 what w.e're trying to do is get the trucks off of Wedgewood as quickly as possible so they stage on the golf course prope'rty; thatrs what the staging area is all about. So werre trying. to get the trucks out of your neighborhood, off of the street, and on to the site as quickly as LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 51 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 52 possible so that there are no backups. That's what we were trying to accomplish. JESS GUY: Does that just mean an increase in the size of the entrance to the access way there at Mulberry, or off Wedgewood? DIRECTOR LORTZ: It's a number of things. It's actually relocating the entrance further west so that it aligns with Mulberry. It is wider. It has to be moved a DIRECTOR LORTZ: Understood. CHAIR BURKE: Mr. Lortz, can I follow-up with a question to you that won't clarify for me, but maybe some of the audience. Living in the hillsides like I do, I see on a rainy day water just sheeting down a bare hill where there's no development, and it just screams down. How much of what comes off of La Rinconada is just natural because of the topology, and how much is because of the development 10 little bit because there's a tree and there's also I 10 that has been done on that course? Do we have any idea? 11 believe a power pole in the way, so those are some 11 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Actually, very little of it is 12 constraints that we're trying to work around so that we can 12 from the development. Most of it is sheet flow, and it 13 15 16 17 get the access so that it works much better. But as people come up to the podium, I think the Town Engineer would be grateful if you offered input as to whether you would support a stop sign at Mulberry on Wedgewood or not. 13 14 15 16 17 probably happens more when we've had a lot of rain and the ground is saturated, and then you get that sheet flow that you're talking about, and the whole sizing of the detention basin at the green number six was specifically designed and increased to accommodate that runoff so that it will detain 18 JESS GUY: If it were up to me, I'd have a stop 18 on the site and migrate through the improvements that are 19 sign every 50 yards on Wedgewood, definitely. 19 required by this condition into the canal. So what we're 20 21 22 23 24 25 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Understood. JESS GUY: And that's the reason, to the gentleman who indicated look at the kids playing on one side and the·· other. They don't play on Wedgewood, it's too dangerous; you can't. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 53 20 21 22 23 24 25 doing is trying to pick up those peak flows and detain them onsite so that we're not getting some of that spillage onto La Rinconada, onto Wedgewood, onto Mulberry. JESS GUY: I appreciate that.

Concurrent to that, we aLe working with them on actually designing the improvements to address the drainage issues and sidewalk issues along Wedgewood. This is going to be a multi-year project. The first phase of it is going to be on Wedgewood from Wimbledon to Mulberry, where the new entrance 􀁾􀁳 going to be.

COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Thank you. CHAIR BURKE: Edward Mathewson, followed by Susan Dias. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item '3, 14595 Clearview Drive 58 EDWARD MATHEWSON: Good evening, I'm Edward and Clearview, those are the wide streets; they're twice as 2 Mathewson. I live at the corner of La Rinconada and 2 wide as Wedgewood. Those ought to have some dedication Wedgewood. As to those questions up front, I agree with 3 other than neighborhood streets, because they're twice as Mr. Egan that 9:00 to 4:00 is probably the least impacted wide as Wedgewood and they can handle a lot bigger traffic 6 time. I would not be in favor of a stop sign at 5 than we can handle. But SQ be it, that's the. way they got designated. Mulberry and Wedgewood. I think that the people that are And then when 85 came in, it closed off Wedgewood going to speed, they don't care about the stop signs so you can't get to Pollard from there. We get a lot of 10 11 12 anyway; I hear them going through there all night long. The people that drive slowly, they're going to abide by a stop sign, so to the slow drivers it won't make a cross-town traffic through there since 85 went in, and it's 10 commute traffic, 11 that's how people get to Highway 17; 12 that's not the only way, but most of them go that way, so 13 difference, to the fast drivers it will make a difference, 13 we get a lot of traffic. We're going to have to accept the 14 so I just don't believe that another stop sign on that 14 trucks, because I guess that's what you're telling us; it 15 street is going to make a difference. Those are short 15 doesn't matter what the relative condition of the streets 16 blocks; it would start and stop, start and stop, and then 16 are, we're going to have to accept that. 17 trucks going by there with their air brakes, and we sleep 17 But I don't think we have to accept all this 18 right next to that street and we don't enjoy that. 18 construction traffic that they're going to use to remodel require those construction trucks and the sand and the lumber and the backhoes and all that heavy equipment, I should be able to require them to drive up and through the don't think we have to take that stuff. I think that you this golf course. I think you have the authority to 20 21 23 19 25 22 24 I heard you say that there's not a whole lot you street got designated, and when you look at the streets, and the entrance into La Rinconada because of how the it's probably a reverse of the way it should be. The other can do about changing the truck traffic off of Wedgewood side of La Rinconada and the south side of the golf course 19 20 25 22 21 23 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 59 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 60 2 main entrance of that golf course and park those vehicles up on top. 2 so what we try to do is balance the issues. Now when we've had construction projects, sometimes the people are more Secondly, just want to address one point that I concerned about the number of contractors that are coming think was forgotten a little bit when the golf course gave their talk about usage and everything. There are a lot of people that drive in on the Wedgewood entrance. We get the golfers too, and the people coming to the country club. We don't just get their trucks; we get their golfers. They than they do about the number of trucks, but what we try to do is follow the same pattern that's existed for a period 6 of time: trucks on Wedgewood, the workers, the employees, the constructions crews all use Clearview-La Rinconada. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Were you aware of that? 10 get the golfers on top. We get a lot of people coming just 10 EDWARD MATHEWSON: I was not aware of it, and I 11 into the driving range; it's right ther-e.-They just come 11 think that's really crappy. We were already loaded with 12 to use the driving range and then leave. That's added 12 trucks. We take their trucks. I think for this period of 13 traffic and one extra car makes a huge difference. That's 13 time when they're doing that work up there, the 14 about all I have to say. 14 construction stuff should go up through Clearview. 15 CHAIR BURKE: Questions? Lee? 15 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: So you'd rather have the 16 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Question of Staff. We 16 construction workers and have Clearview have the 17 have a desk item that talks about the construction traffic 17 construction trucks? 18 being split between Clearview and Wedgewood, with the 18 EDWARD MATHEWSON: Yes.

DIRECTOR LORTZ: Again, nobody wants traffic on 21 22 23 who -happens to comment from here on out, give us some input on the switch, because I definitely think it's fair to their street. If I had my druthers, nobody would drive in 24 24 front of my house.

You said you DIRECTOR LORTZ: I just wanted to mention that I 2 wouldn't want the stop sign at Mulberry because one of the 2 was checking the General Plan, and the General Plan reasons is because you said you live right there and you actually, and probably intentionally, only has Wedgewood as don't want the truck air brakes, a collector from Roxbury to Wimbledon, so it doesn't go all 5 EDWARD MATHEWSON: Well we live at La Rinconada the way up to Pollard. 6 and Wedgewood, but there's a stop sign there, and people 6 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: That settles the question stop, or they come down and they brake, or their air about rerouting to Pollard.

Like is·said, I get 11 Reynolds. 12 this starting at 6:00 o'clock every morning. I can relate. 12 SUSAN DIAS: Hi, I'm ·Susan Dias. I live on La 13 I'm trying to get a feel of the amount of trucks that are 13 Rinconada Drive on the other side.

There's one guy driving have young drivers, the trucks don't just go in to the golf asleep; sometimes he's awake. Nobody's flagging anybody course. They stop and they park. 􀁔􀁨􀁥􀁾 don't pullover to to the truck, and he's sitting in the truck. Sometimes he's 19 24 21 20 22 23 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: think Mr. Lortz was 24 19 22 21 20 23 25 25 around, and when you have a sixteen-year-old that just LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 C1earview Drive 63 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 C1earview Drive 64 learned how to drive, they're sitting there waiting, and they don't know if they can go around. There's nobody out there; there's no directional support. So even if we have trucks that are there, they're not necessarily moving; they're stopping and they're sitting there. We have one way in; we have one way out. So we have young drivers that first of all as young children could never ride their bikes on the street Wedgewood, you would be edge-to-edge over the lip; it would be very difficult for them to pass. So my big concern is if we have all these trucks and they start parking here, we have an elementary school. Now I live in Los Gatos, but I'm in Campbell Union School 6 District; I'm like three houses away. So we have to go right, which is in the same direction as the opening of where the proposed opening would be. So people who are 10 because the traffic that goes through there is so fast. I 10 going to have to take their children to Marshall Lane are 11 run down there, I ride my bike down there. We had a 11 then going to have to then deal with the truck traffic in 12 bicyclist hit on Wedgewood not too long ago, maybe about 12 the morning that I would anticipate would come about the 13 six or seven months ago. We have the police department 13 same time. 14 that sits on La Rinconada Drive on a regular basis, and I'm 14 So coming home and going back and forth, we have 15 sure with the money they collect from there they could 16 probably pay for our sidewalks at this point. It's not 15 a school bus, but you have a lot of people that walk, and 16 you have a lot of people that drive their children to 11 safe.

So is the safety concerns and issues. course there are 31 deliveries per week, not to mention the Large trucks and deliveries. According to golf sand trucks in the spring and the fall and other times as there is a lot of traffic, not just construction, not just the sand trucks, corning in and out. So we are very concerned about the amount of traffic in our neighborhood. 10 Relative to the entrance gate on Wedgewood, prior 11 required. These are big double transfer trucks that bring 12 to 1988, so I think about 60 years worth of traffic, had 10 12 11 13 in approximately 20 tons worth of sand, and as you can see, 13 gone up Clearview. So in 1988 four county residents got 14 they stage on our roads, in front of our homes; actually, 14 together and decided they would complain, and the Town, 15 one of the trucks kind of hit a tree in front of my 15 during that Conditional Use Permit opening, decided that 16 property.

BARBARA KENTWOOD: Do you think that wouldn't be a good idea to review the amount of traffic on Wedgewood versus Clearview and come up with a decision? CHAIR BURKE: Excuse me. Yes? Mulberry, or other roads. So it just kind of goes from one to the other, collects it and moves on to the roads of higher traffic. BARBARA KENTWOOD: Do we need a petition to get this revisited as far as traffic? We have no sidewalks; we're being told that this is probably going to be the route.

That's 17 18 you've just mentioned, sidewalks; we're working on this project, which puts a sidewalk out on the street. 19 20 why it is designated as a collector road versus La Rinconada, which is a local street basically. 19 20 BARBARA KENTWOOD: 15 years ago. Yes, well Susan started that 21 22 23 24 25 In terms of a hierarchy, if you envision Winchester to be one of our arterials, there is a hierarchy of the roads. The lowest denomination would be the local street, or residential street, a cUI de sac such as LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 85 21 22 23 24 25 DIRECTOR LORTZ: That's all great. So one of the conditions of approval is that this would install a sidewalk from Mulberry west to Wimbledon. We understand LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 86 that we're only a third of it, but we're doing the best we can. BARBARA KENTWOOD: That's okay, but my question is whom would the neighbors of Wedgewood go to to request a revisit of your zoning of those roads and the traffic that is going on in our neighborhood? CHAIR BURKE: I think ultimately that is an issue you would take up with the Council with maybe verbal 9 BARBARA KENTWOOD: Well maybe we need a private meeting, but I would suggest anybody coming down from Clearview or La Rinconada not be able to turn left up Wedgewood, and that will limit a lot of our traffic through the area.

I hear people talk in both neighborhoods about my kids can't.play in the street. I wouldn't let my kids set foot in the street in either neighborhood if my life 35 WILL FINCK: I was just curious, when you were talking about a collector street, how does that impact how you determine in your General Plan where a building goes? I notice, for example, you've impacted both ends really of that whole area where Al Smith used to have his place. Now depended on it. People are speeding down our street everyday; they go 45 or 50 miles an hour down La Rinconada. 10 11 They have no regard whatsoever for any of the people in our you're putting in that huge thing by the tracks on 9 Winchester, but where is that traffic traffic going to go and how 10 much of that is going to come down Wedgewood? 11 12 13 neighborhood, and I'm sure they don't in yours, so we both have that problem, thought I don't wish that on either one 12 13 Then you've granted additional building permits on Wedgewood to build additional homes on there, which are 14 of us; so I'd be delighted to see more enforcement in the 15 area on that. 14 already impacted .. And then on the other end, as you come 15 out Pollard, you've got that new development on that end of 16 11 18 19 And then lastly it's a mitigation issue, and so unless there's what I call a compelling state interest to say we need to massively shift so that we take away all of the expectations of the buyers in the last 16 years in 16 17 18 19 the street so that now you've put huge traffic on either ends of this street that are coming through there. So I guess my question is, in a General Plan for example, do you take that kind of thing into consideration? 20 21 these respective neighborhoods, I think we need to make the best of a tough situation for both sides and see if we can 20 21 that? CHAIR BURKE: Mr. Lortz, .could you help us with 22 23 24 manage through it. Thank you. CHAIR BURKE: Thank you. Questions?

LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 93 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 94 So we do balance all of those types of issues through the traffic studies that are done for these kinds of projects. WILL FINCK. Well, it doesn't seem like you balanced this one very well. CHAIR BURKE: I want to thank the audience for 6 all their input. I'd like to call back the applicant and representative, and you have three minutes to rebut, and you'll probably get a bunch of questions, so don't sit down 256 It's also important to understand that there are two times a year that we do get sand delivered; no more than two times, not at least two times, but two times a year sand gets delivered. Part of that problem, the way that sand gets delivered, will be resolved by these problems. And again, there was a lot of venting going on here, but when you wash that away, we're putting a new 10 11 very qUickly, please. .JIM RUBNITZ: Fair enough. That's a lot to 10 11 curb, gutter, and sidewalk along wedgewood; we're putting in a wider better accessible entrance; we're dealing with 12 rebut, but it should be pretty pretty straightforward actually. 12 the ponding issues that effect our offsite neighbors; we're 13 I just want to reemphasize a couple points. 13 dealing with detention issues. So we are dealing exactly 14 People are talking about traffic and sometimes it gets 15 confused. Not all this traffic concerns our association 16 :with the golf course. There's construction traffic going 14 with the problems that these people have been complaining 15 about and are concerned about. When this project gets 16 approved and our nine months of construction takes place 17 ·on there. 17 and we get the draWings done, the improvements we've talked 18 There is traffic associated with us, and we've 18 about will be implemented. So I certainly understand their 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 supplied data that shows that we have 31 truck deliveries a week: one on Saturday, two on Sunday, three on Monday, the peak number is 11'on Wednesday, and we've given you the sizes of each truck and the like. So it's important to understand that. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 C1earview Drive 95 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 complaints; now we've got to get them resolved, and this project attempts to do that. And again, for the record, we've had at least five meetings with the neighbors. Principally it's been represented by Chris DeLaossa; he's been the LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 96 representative. Others have been invited, so certainly anyone is welcome. Let me just switch for a minute, because setting aside the traffic issues, I certainly sensed some concern or uncomfortable level with this increased membership and how to control and improve it. It would be my recommendation after listening to o the questions that you do the following. You approve the 60 memberships as requested, however only 30 can be 10 2 10 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Based on? . JIM RUBNITZ: Based upon either our feedback, or feedback you get from the community. I guess the sense would be that it's excessive .use or Whatever, and the concern is we would supply data again based on the number of rounds. If the concern is correct, as you pointed out earlier that maybe the number of rounds is going to go up again, we'll have that data, so we can compare traffic and data and make a decision at that time. 11 implemented at this time; 15 for certificated members, 15 11 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: I have another question. 12 for others. The other 30 come back to Staff at a time when 12 The hours of service in the Conditional Use Permits say the 13 we feel is appropriate, but only 30 will be implemented at 13 hours of operation for clubroom facilities. What does that 14 this time. That way we can all have the ability to track 15 those issues. Questions? 14 mean? 15 JIM RUBNITZ: Can you read it again, please? 16 CHAIR BURKE: Miss Quintana? 16 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: The hours of operation 17 18 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: part of it? Would you rephrase that 17 18 for clubroom facility shall be limited from 7:00am to 1:00am, Monday through Sunday. 19 20 21 22 23 25 JIM RUBNITZ: What I would propose is that the. Conditional Use Permit allow up to 60 additional members. However, at this particular time only 30 additional members will be implemented; 15 certificated and 15 other. The balance in menillerships would have to be applied back through Staff. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 97 19 20 21 22 23 25 JIM JIM RUBNITZ: I think you're talking about the eating part of the facility, the Grill Room; that's the only thing I can think of. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: See, I think that's ambiguous, and I'd really like to know what it means, because you have two restaurants and'a bar lounge.

We were offered to take the 60 memberships COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Okay, I just want to and split it, with the 30 remaining to come back to Staff. 10 clarify that.

What we'd probably do is we'd hold a public 15 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes, I think several 15 meeting at the DRC and consider the requests for the 16 people in the audience said that. 16 additional 30 memberships after sending out the notice, and 17 JIM RUBNITZ: We've made contact with all our 17 see what kind of feedback we get from the neighbors. And reminding them that·deliveries have to come in on truck come in and find out whether it came in through Clearview or it came in through Wedgewood. All we can do venders, and we continue to make contact with our vendors, well that kind of kills the additional 30 we've noticed an increase in traffic and we think it's they could say since your approval of the permit in 2004, members. If the neighbors come out, or don't come out at horrible. all, or come out and say we really didn't notice much of an increase in traffic, we don't really have any problems, but 19 22 24 20 18 23 21 25 I think that Wedgewood. We can't really track when we see an Acme Bread is continue to remind the vendors that their responsibility is to come in through the Wedgewood entrance. 19 25 24 18 21 20 22 23 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 99 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 100 we maybe have a problem about something else, then we'd try to address that other issue. We could do it another way where it comes back to the Planning Commission. Either way it's going to be a public meeting before a body of this town so that input from the neighbors can be considered. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: I have another question. My question is, I saw here with the special delivery of When the entrance is redesigned, it will accommodate this twice a year occurrence. DIRECTOR LORTZ: And we're also trying-because we heard the neighbors even back six months ago when we had the neighborhood meeting-to stage the trucks on site. So 6 essentially the truck traffic is going to be staged in such a way that really there are no trucks on Wedge wood as part of the sand delivery. 10 your trucks that deliver the sand, it says 20 trUCkloads of 10 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Thank you. 11 sand delivered on a Monday and a Tuesday. II CHAIR BURKE: A couple of things I wanted to 12 JIM RUBNITZ: Twice a year, in March and in 12 follow-up. These are tractor trailer transfer trucks 13 October. 13 coming in, and it sounds like right now they're dropping 14 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: The question is, do you 14 off the rear trailer, they're dumping the front load, 15 alert the neighbors to that, and how long does it take to 16 deliver that? It sounds like it takes all day. But do you 15 they're coming back, they're doing the transfer thing. 16 It's your belief, and would it be a reasonable condition 17 alert the neighbors to those delivery days? 17 that the trucks that come in have to do their transfer 18 JIM RUBNITZ: I can't stand here and tell you we 18 onsite? 19 do; certainly we will if that's the inference. ,But more 19 JIM RUBNITZ: Sure. 20 importantly, the revised and remodeled entrance will deal 20 CHAIR BURKE: And no staging? Part of the 21 22 23 24 25 with this issue, because part of the problem they have is they can't make the turn, they're backing up, or they're dropping off part of their load sitting in the street. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 101 21 22 23 24 25 condition for whoever manages the project will be that when a truck arrives up Wedgewood, he can go in, it's not going to wait? LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 102 JIM RUBNITZ: You're talking about the sand JIM RUBNITZ: It may not sound like it's a big trucks? 2 impact.

I don't have a problem on Wednesdays, one on ThurSday, two on Fridays, and one on with that. 5 Saturday. To me, it may sound like it would help. I don't CHAIR BURKE: Not a problem, okay. Second thing, 6 know, Rick, whether you can function with the trucks coming delivery hours. If those were, say, restricted from 9:00 after 9:00 in the morning. to 3:00, would that be an issue, or is there things you RICK FORNEY: My name is Rick Forney. We have 10 have to get first thing in the morning? 10 spoke to our vendors regarding. deliveries, and they 11 I'm thinking kids aren't walking to school; 11 schedule their deliveries in the morning. So for them to 12 that's late enough to avoid that .. Maybe it's 9:00 to 2:00, 12 try to adhere to a schedule for us, it's going to be 13 but something that at least during the weekday takes some 13 extremely difficult. Some days they'll be able to 14 safety and traffic concerns into consideration. 14 accomplish that, other days they won't. There will be 15 I don't want the neighbors to get me wrong, I'm 15 times where we'll call in orders at the last minute to get 16 not saying I don't want to inconvenience La Rinconada, but 16 a delivery, so it's going to be difficult to try to manage 17 I'm trying to make this a win-win situation with the most 11 something like this.

JIM RUBNITZ: I guess I'd have to defer to our for them, and vice-versa. So I'm just asking these for general manager in terms of operationally. You're talking CHAIR BURKE: I guess the question I'll ask is to give you a range of hours when they're going to Come out. A lot of times this is what our vendors do to us. early, but they're probably still working at 10:00 or 11:00 because I would think that the truck drivers start working are there other customers that want deliveries later, 21 22 19 24 20 23 25 CHAIR BURKE: I understand. about ten trucks. 21 19 22 24 23 20 25 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item *3, 14595 C1earview Drive 103 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item *3, 14595 Clearvi'ew Drive 104 in the morning. I would think a lot of places would want their deliveries in the morning, shopping centers for. example, before they get their customers filling up the lots. So I'm just speaking operationally that asking for your deliveries after 9:00 for a lot of trucking companies, they'd probably say great, that's one less early morning delivery we have to make. 2 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: There are two. You have two listed here. RICK FORNEY: You're right, two on Wednesdays, Fox and South Bay. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Right. JIM RUBNITZ: I don't think it"s that we're not trying to accommodate neighbors. On the other hand, I RICK FORNEY: can't address other vendors. don't think it's unreasonable to say two out of 31 10 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Independent of Mike, I 10 deliveries occur before 7:30 in the morning. I mean most 14 could you give us? 13 What could you do? What hours would you concede to? What 11 12 15 was going to also suggest the same hours after listening to the neighbors, and since we are working together here. RICK FORNEY: It's going to vary from vendor to people start to function at 7: 30, and they've got to get 11 12 their business going and their day going. We can suggest 13 to them that they come as late as possible, but I certainly 14 wouldn't want to stand up here and represent that we 15 guarantee it's not going to happen. We will suggest to ME 16 vendor. I would hate to be put in a position of saying we 16 Fox and South Bay to try to come after 7:30 in the morning 17 cannot take deliveries after such-and-such a time where 17 as see if they can accommodate us. 18 maybe the delivery truck is going to come earlier for 18 RICK FORNEY: But I think if you look at our 19 whatever reason. It's going to be difficult to do; we've 19 delivery schedule, we are probably right in between the 20 21 22 23 24 tried to work with vendors on this problem already. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Because I see here that some of your deliveries are at 6:00am. JIM RUBNITZ: Well there's one at 6:00am, Fox, on 20 21 22 23 24 time that kids are going to school. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Well I did an accounting and you have almost ten deliveries between 7:30 and 8:30, most in (inaudible) mornings. That's ten a week. 25 Wednesdays.

My question is, regardless of the 16 line. The tree report indicates that it hasn't been hillside design standards, which doesn't apply here anyway, 17 determined how many trees that would impact, and my 18 so I'm not asking in terms of that, but in general, what is 1S question is, is there a way to design that sewer line so KEVIN ROHANI: Yes, we have looked into that. that there is no additional impact to any trees? 21 There are one or two trees that might be in the way, but we 22 have some flexibility of how to lay the sewer line to kind 23 of work around the trees and not affect them, so yes, 19 20 DIRECTOR LORTZ: There is no policy restricting walls above five feet, on any project? the Town's policy with respect to the height of 􀁲􀁾􀁴􀁡􀁩􀁮􀁩􀁮􀁧 them to ten feet, or three feet, or anything; we look at it on a case-by-case.

There's a new hammerhead turnaround, and the tree report indicates that it may have tree impacts. KEVIN ROHANI: Again, with any improvements such 10 10 but basically it talks about it's either/or. The Commission weighing in on ,the issue of the tree removals is more of the issue, not that the tree permit is being granted by the Planning Commission, because a tree permit will have to be issued separately. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: And then we're back to 11 as this, we'll be looking at it when they survey each of 11 the same question on trees that I asked before. How has 12 13 the trees.

DIRECTOR LORTZ: No, but what we did today, because the question was brought up by you, was we took a 25 25 look at that.

I know the streets 15 courses, it's even fewer than a public course. 16 are small. DIRECTOR LORTZ: The Vehicle Code doesn't really 16 11 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: SO essentially if there were no golf course there, we'd have greater traffic IB 19 20 give us the latitude to regulate the size of the trucks, but the one thing I was thinking about is that through this Use Permit, we could say that no staging of delivery trucks IB 19 20 impacts? greater. DIRECTOR LORTZ: It would be significantly 22 23 24 shall occur offsite.· That certainly gets to some of ·the issues that were raised by the neighbors. CHAIR BURKE: Should that maybe be clarified to 21 22 23 24 CHAIR BURKE: Does anybody want to make a motion? Okay, I guess it's up to me. I'd like to make a motion to approve Architecture and Site Application S-04-026 and 25 say on public streets offsite? I would hate for them to 25 Conditional Use Permit U-04-009, with the conditions shown LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 115 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 116 29 10 in Exhibit G, and the conditions shown in Exhibit H, as well as the following additional conditions: that the increase in membership initially be limited to 30 members ,.ith a maximum of 15 of those being certi.fied, and that after this new full membership is received, the 􀁾􀁯􀁵􀁮􀁴􀁲􀁹 club will provide the Town with at least six months of golf data before requesting the additional 30 members., and one of the evaluations of that will be to see how many more members it would take to reach the 40,000 rounds of golf a 2 10 following conditions. Should I just go ahead and read mine? CHAIR BURKE: Please do. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: That the patio dinning be restrir.ted to 8:00pm. CHAIR BURKE: I think in the summertime that's excessively early. I would say, based on other eateries in the Town, maybe 9:00 or 10:00, with Friday and Saturday being 11: 00. 11 year. 11 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: 􀁾􀁯􀁷 late do they serve 12 It is also a condition that the country club 12 dinner? Only because they haven't done this this before, maybe 13 works with their vendors and request that all deliveries 13 it needs to be on a six-month trial. We don't know the 14 take place between 9:00 and 3:00, and that they demonstrate 15 their good faith on that to the Town, and that no trucks 14 noise ramifications of this yet. Can we have it come back 15 to Staff, or how do we monitor that? 16 would be staged on Town streets outside the country club. 16 CHAIR BURKE: There is a condition in here that 11 18 motion. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: I will second that 11 the noise levels not increase due to the outside dining. That's an explicit 􀁣􀁯􀁮􀁤􀁩􀁴􀁩􀁯􀁮􀁾 and I think if the neighbors 19 CHAIR BURKE: One of the questions I was going to 19 start complaining about the noise it gives us justification 20 ask of this group is what type of hours we wanted to impose 20 to look at this. Miss Quintana? 21 22 23 24 on the outside .dinning, if we wanted to allow that to go until 1:00 o'clock? COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: That was going to be one 21 22 23 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Can we tie it in to the review of the increase in membership or give it a certain period of time and review it again to see if there are 25 of my conditions. I was going to second that with the 25 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 117 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 118 26 impacts, so that we can change it if there appear to be impacts? DIRECTOR LORTZ: We can do anything you want, but I'm just going to say, if we bring it back, we have to renotice the entire neighborhood for us to be able to have some ability to be able to say to the neighbors are you concerned, are you upset about the noise that's occurring? COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: But isn't that part of COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: partly. Actually this goes back to one of the conditions that I was going to request, that the actual uses be better defined within the Conditional Use Permit as to the hours of the meal service, and the days of special or putside events, and along with that defining that no music be allowed, except inside the facility, because that could be one of the major noise generators. 10 what would happen when the membership hits the 30? 10 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: That was already I think 11 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Yes, but that may not happen for 11 clarified when I asked applicant that there be no music 12 five years, and if there's a concern about noise, then I'm 12 outside. He said the music is inside. 13 just wondering if you want it to come back earlier for the 13 CHAIR BURKE: So that will be a condition of this 14 noise issue? From a workload perspective, I have a problem 15 bringing things back to the Commission after they've been 14 approval that there is no outside music, and are we 15 comfortable with 10:00 o'clock on the hours? 16 17 18 decided; I'd like to try to keep that to a minimum if possible. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Because if it's a noise 16 18 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: I think I am. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Fine. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Or we could say 10:00 19 issue, you will end up regulating it at your Staff. I have 19 o'clock in the summer and 9:00 o'clock in the winter. 20 21 22 23 25 an alternative suggestion then. DIRECTOR LORTZ: But it would also probably fall under the noise ordinance. CHAIR BURKE: Miss Quintana, you have an alternative suggestion? LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 119 20 21 22 23 24 25 CHAIR BURKE: I think that gets a little complicated. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: That all finishes and materials to be authentic in stone instead of cultured LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 120 stone, as talked about here on the commercial project data 2 sheet, and hopefully the use of wood windows. That the delivery hours for the construction materials be limited to a time, and I wasn't sure, because I didn't want that to interfere with regular delivery time. DIRECTOR LORTZ: That's a regulated construction activity; it's regulated through the noise ordinance. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Okay, thank you. And I don't know how we'd do this, and maybe this is already in 10 29 10 DIRECTOR LORTZ, Yes. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Especially in the morning hours. Thank you. CHAIR BURKE: And the last thing I think we wanted to ask, that the club notice either with a flyer or whatever, when they're going to make their sand deliveries to the people on the roadway which 􀁾􀁩􀁬􀁬 be immediately affected, which is Wimbledon and that. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Thank you for reminding 11 there, is a signal man that would be on duty during this 11 me, and the maker of the second approves that. 12 heavy construction time, delivery time of materials? 12 CHAIR BURKE: I still need to make findings, but 13 DIRECTOR LORTZ: In terms of construction traffic 13 if there are other conditions that want t6 get added. Lee? 11 and that sort of thing? 14 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: I'd like to clarify the 15 16 COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: Right. DIRECTOR LORTZ: What we'd be working with is 15 membership condition. Currently this CUP gives just a 16 total number of members rather than the current breakdown, 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Parks and Public Works, similar to what we did with La Rinconada, where flaggers might be necessary at certain times, that sort of thing; it just depends on how they're going to stage their equipment, but we'd look at it in a similar vein. COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: So that we could relieve some of that traffic pressure from the Wedgewood area especially? LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 121 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 which is 401 certified members, and the remainder other, so that in fact when we're'saying we're going to increase the membership by 30, we're going to increase the certified membership up to 416 at this time. CHAIR BURKE: Do you have that, Mr. Lortz, that the 30 we're going to increase, which is 15 for certified members, will be added to the 401, so the maximum that will LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive ,122 be allowed under this permit, at least phase one, will be COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: What I'm saying is that 416? 2 currently there are 401 certified members. Ultimately we DIRECTOR LORTZ: We'll bring the conditions back may be approving 511 total members, but right now we're to you for review as part of the minutes, but what I'm going only to 30 additional members, which would result in hearing is the maximum number of ce·rtified and social 􀁾􀀱􀀶 certified members with this approval, and an additional 6 members combined shall not exceed 511. And then we're 6 15 other with this approval. going further and saying only 15 certified and 15 other are allowed under this approval. An additional 30 members, which brings us to the 511, could be approved, but must be 10 applied for separately through the Development Review 11 10 11 DIRECTOR LORTZ: The math works the same way. CHAIR BURKE: And I 􀁾􀁨􀁩􀁮􀁫 it's also important that we give the club the flexibility if they decide they only want ten certified members and 20 other members, being 12 Committee. 12 that the other members will probably generate a lot less 13 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Would you run those 13 impact on both the course and the neighborhood; a maximum 14 numbers by again; I missed them. 14 of 30 new members, and a maximum of those being 15 15 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Right now, the condition on 15 certified members. I'm not trying to make this difficult, 16 Condition Pour of the first page of the Conditions of 16 Mr. Lortz, I'm trying to give them flexibility. But does 17 Approval, that's where I'm reading. Found that, Lee? 17 that make sense? 18 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes, I got it. 18 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes. COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes, but they're not all what the current Use Permit allows. Lee is ·still back on the 􀁾􀀰􀀱 versus 451. DIRECTOR LORTZ: I think so. Let's see. I think Four fifty one is DIRECTOR LORTZ: Correct. certified. 22 24 19 21 23 20 25 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Thank you. "The maximum number 511,# okay? So far so good. "Only 15 certified and 15 terminology is "other.# through this approval. So that's the30, 15 and 15. The other," or we'll call them social members, "are allowed of certified and social members combined shall not exceed 24 22 19 23 21 20 25 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 􀀰􀀶􀀯􀀰􀀹􀀯􀀰􀁾 Item ft3, 14595 Clearview Drive 123 LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 􀀰􀀶􀀯􀀰􀀹􀀯􀀰􀁾 Item #3, 􀀱􀁾􀀵􀀹􀀵 Clearview Drive 􀀱􀀲􀁾 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Correct. DIRECTOR LORTZ: The condition currently, before you take action tonight, reads as listed under Number Four, COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: No, what I'm saying is those existing memberships should be as they currently are, the split. "the maximum number of certified and social members combined shall not exceed 451,u'correct? COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes. DIRECTOR LORTZ: Okay. So all we're saying is the maximum number goes to 511. That's what they asked 4. 5 DIRECTOR LORTZ: So you want to take where there is currently no distinction, and make a distinction? COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Exactly. CHAIR BURKE: Can I open up the pUblic hearing to ask the applicant for a clarification on member types, 10 for, 60 more. So now we're saying there are 30 that 10 whether or not what Miss Quintana is saying is unduly 11 they're being granted as part of this process, a maximum of 11 burdensome? While we're opening up, I'll ask a second 12 15 certified and 15 other members are part of this 12 question of the architect regarding cultured stone versus 13 approval. Then they have to apply separately througn the 14 DRC process for the additional 30 members to bring it to 13 natural stone, because I know that was part of Miss 14 Talesfore's motion for this condition. Thank you. 15 the 511. 15 KEN REYNOLDS; Let me comment on your second 16 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: I guess what I'm saying 16 question. Changing the note cultured stone to a real stone 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 is that that wording does not limit them from changing the existing 451 members to all certified members if they so choose by the.Conditional Use Permit, because it doesn't differentiate. DIRECTOR LORTZ: Right, and if you don't want to differentiate, that's okay with me. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive . 125 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 is fine; that's what we want to have. Second off, the one point that I would like to make on the actual number is exactly how Mr. Lortz explained it. We wanted to make sure that that in the Use Permit we have 511, so that we're not reopening a public hearing again just for that 30, other than the DRC, as you said. Then we don't have to hear about traffic and deliveries forever. LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION 06/09/04 Item #3, 14595 Clearview Drive 126 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: ·No, but let me try to CHAIR BURKE: I'll accept that. 2 clarify again. Right now the CUP does not distinguish COMMISSIONER TALESFORE: I will too. 6 10 11 12 between certified members and other types of members; it just says a total of 451. So if we specify that of the 30 that we're saying you can do now, a maximum of 15 are certified and the rest other. That still leaves the possibility to raise the current number of members, switching them from certified to other somehow. JIM RUBNITZ: I think the easiest way then to characterize, we should be allowed to increase the number of certified members to 416 and other members to 65. 3 10 11 12 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: With respect to the flaggers. Bud, is there some way that we can simply add that as a condition that a construction management plan be developed, which I think is already being developed, and that 􀁾􀁴 include a flag man and an identification of the location of the construction workers and the trucks? DIRECTOR LORTZ: We could add add that type Condition 57, because Condition 57 outlines a lot of issues related to construction; hauling of soil and whatnot, so under that 13 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Thank you. 13 one just say a traffic control plan shall be developed. 14 CHAIR BURKE: And I'm going to reclose the public 14 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Okay, got that one, got 15 hearing. 16 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Chairman? 15 that one. 16 DIRECTOR LORTZ: Yes, that's already stated right 17 CHAIR BURKE: Yes, Lee? And remind me to make 17 in the middle of it. 18 the findings, please. 18 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes, okay. 19 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Okay, after I finish on 19 DIRECTOR LORTZ: "Part of the issuance of and the second that the time period of six months after the 22 30 has been achieved be changed to a year, because six 23 months depending on when the membership is achieved may or 24 25 may not pick up the peak golfing season? 20 21 the conditions.

CHAIR BURKE: Shall I go ahead and make the findings? 10 10 RThat the proposed use does not impair the integrity or character of the zone that it is permitted in which it currently exists." I think in many ways with respect to people in Wedgewood, it does provide a certain amount of character of the zone. I mean, even the people in Wedgewood get to live across the street from a green park, even though they can't use it, which is to me much 11 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes. 11 better than living across the street from a Safeway or a 12 CHAIR BURKE: Now that I have a motion, second, 12 parking lot or condominiums. 13 and amendments, I'm going to make the findings as required 13 RThe proposed uses would not be detrimental to 14 by Section 29.20 of the (inaudible) 190 of the Town Code 14 the public health, safety, or general welfare." think 15 for CUP. 16 One, Rthat the proposed use of the property is 17 essential or desirable to the public convenience 15 with the mitigation and even going beyond what the country 16 club is going to do as far as drainage and the sidewalk and 17 things like that, I think it's going to improve the 18 (inaudible) in that it provides a recreational service to 18 situation. And I also think that if we can get some of the 19 20 21 22 23 24 the public." There's been a lot of talk that this is a private club. Yes, it is a private club, but the private members are members of the public, and a hundred and some odd"are in Los Gatos. But I also believe they provide practice 19 20 21 22 23 24 conditions by regulating when the delivery trucks are, noticing the sand trucks, and a few other things, we're going to improve the situation and make it a win-win.

The issue that becomes 􀁾 little problematic is that we don't really issue the Tree· Removal Permit tonight on a project, because the fee is based on the number of trees that are removed and that could change, so the Tree Removal Permit will be issued later, based on the number of actual trees that this body ) .-,..-235 10 COMMISSIONER QUINTANA: Yes, but what if it changes and more trees are removed? DIRECTOR LORTZ: Well, tonight you would determine how many trees are removed.

Architecture and Site The applicant is requesting approval to demolish art existing pro shop, to add onto and construct new outbuildings, expand and upgrade landscaping and parking facilities and to remodel and add onto the existing club house. Story poles were not required since the addition was mainly on the first floor and the height increase was minimal. a. Club House An addition of 6,150 square feet is proposed for the 22,285 square foot two story club house (6,028 square feet on the first floor and 122 square feet on the second floor). The total square footage will be 28,435. The main portion ofthe addition will occur at the front (south) and side (west) elevations. The maximum height of the existing building is 24 feet. The proposed maximum height will be 30 feet (the plans erroneously show 30 feet six inches which exceeds the maximum height allowed). The average height ofthe building will be 26 feet. The existing building has plain stucco siding with a flat roof. The applicant proposes to upgrade the exterior by changing the architecture to a Spanish style. Exterior materials will consist of plaster siding with wood and stone trim, , copper gutters, and a clay tile roofwhich will screen the existing roof top mechanical equipment. b. Golf Cart Building At the north west side of the club house, a 1,289 square foot addition is proposed to attach an existing 1,366 square foot detached golfcart building to the club house. The materials will match the existing materials of the golf cart building which consist ofmetal siding and a metal roof. The maximum height of this structure will be 15 feet four inches. The cart building is located below the club house and is well hidden so that it's materials will not conflict with the materials of the club house. c. Restrooms A 292 square foot restroom is proposed to be demolished and a new 392 square foot restroom is proposed to be constructed near the 14th tee which is at the southern end ofthe golfcourse, off ofZena Avenue. The maximum height ofthe building will be 11 feet five inches and the exterior materials will consist of plaster siding and a clay tile roof. d. Driving Range Building A new 778 square foot restroom, equipment and maintenance building is proposed at the driving range located near Wedgewood Avenue. The maximum height of the building is 12 feet six inches and the exterior materials will consist of plaster siding and a clay tile roof. ; 􀀭􀁾 The Planning Commission -Page 3 14595 Clearview Drive/S-04-26, U-04-009 June 9, 2004 e. Pro Shop and Snack Shack The 4,688 square foot multi-level pro shop located in the main parking lot is proposed to be demolished and a 100 square foot snack shack located on the 12 tee was recently approved to be demolished. Both uses will be relocated inside the club house. f. Entry Gate The entry gate, located offofClearview Drive, is proposed to be upgraded with new stone veneer and concrete to match the exterior ofthe club house. The entry gate is located on a 4,356 square foot parcel currently located in the County. A condition is included that requires this parcel to . be armexed into the Town. 2. Architectural Review. The Town's COnsulting Architect reviewed the plans and stated that the design was very good (Exhibit D). The Consultant had one COIIliIlent to enhance the entry way of the building which the applicant has satisfied. 3. Use-':.', The applicant is requesting approval to modify the use permit to increase the membership and to allow outside dining for the existing restaurant and grill area. a. Membership The membership is proposed to be increased from 451 members to 511. The basis for this request is that the usage of the Club has dropped by almost 20%. Many ofthe members have multiple memberships at other clubs, and/or members spend their winters in Palm Springs and Scottsdale and have the option to play 􀁡􀁾 ten new golf courses in the area. Given the reduction in usage, the Club is requesting to increase the membership by 60 members. b. Outdoor Dining The club is requesting to have outdoor dining for the restaurant, grill area and snack shop. There is no increase in the total number ofrestaurant seats. The patio areas are currently used for social gatherings and events and the Town is not aware ofany noise complaints associated with the use of these decks. Therefore, the use of these areas for outside dining should not increase existing noise levels. 4. Parking The applicant proposes to add 30 new new parking spaces and to upgrade the parking lot with new lighting, drainage systems and landscaping. The lighting will comply with the Town's The Planning Commission -Page 4 14595 Clearview Drive/S-04-26, U-04-009 June 9,2004 requirements (i.e., low cutoff fixtures with light shields). The circulation pattern and parking layout will be modified and the lot will incorporate Best Management Practi,ces for the storm water runoff. Listed below is a breakdown of the parking requirements: Club Floor Area One space/350 sq ft Recreational One Space/590 sq ft (excluding golf course areas) Main Building 28,435 sq ft Restroom Building 392 sq ft Driving Range Building 778 sq ft TOTAL 29,605 sq ft Pool Area 11,900 sq ft 11,900 sq ft Required Parking 84.6 spaces 20.2 spaces Total Required Parking Total Parking Provided Excess Parking 5. Retaining Walls 105 spaces 199 spaces 94 spaces All but one retaining wall has been designed to meet the Town's Hillside Development Standards and Guidelines even though these regulations do not apply to this property. The proposed retaining wall located at the northwest comer ofthe club (in the area ofthe first tee area) has been designed to range in height from 7.5 feet to ten feet. The applicant has stated that this wall is not visible and will be used as an architectural feature for the tee area and that the wall will be enhanced with stone features and vines traveling down the wall to soften its appearance. 6. Traffic Based on the member usage documentation provided to the Town, which was discussed above, it has been determined that the increase in membership will not result in any traffic impacts or increases. The Town's traffic engineer has carefully evaluated this issue and the additional membership will not generate traffic that will be discernable to the neighbors. 7. Trees The applicant has worked 'Yell with the Town to redesign the addition to reduce tree impacts. A total of39 trees are proposed to be removed. Ofthese trees, only two were found to be in good condition (a 24.8 and 25 inch Deodar Cedar). Four of the trees are in poor condition and are encouraged to be removed whether or not the applicant proceeds with the project and one of the trees poses a public safety issue. The remaining 34 trees that are proposed for removal are considered average with a low to moderate suitability for preservation. These trees consist oftwo Magnolias, one Canary Island Pine, one Ash, eleven Junipers, two Crape Myrtles, one . f",.,. ....'\ \ .. ) The Planning Commission -Page 5 14595 Clearview Drive/S-04-26, U-04-009 June 9, 2004 ornamental Pear, five Oaks, two fruit trees, eight Sycamores, and one Elderberry. One Oak tree is proposed to be transplanted on site.· To mitigate the tree removals a total of 66-15 gallon trees are proposed to be planted. These trees will consist ofDogwoods, Sycamores, Flowering Pears,· Coast Uve Oaks and Coast Redwoods. The applicant's arborist prepared a report which was . reviewed by the Town's Consulting Arborist (Exhibit E). Due to the length ofthe document, the :. applicants arborist report is available in the project file for review. The addendum report and 'pages three through seven contain an analysis ofth trees to be removed. The Town's Consulting Arborist concurred with the findings ofthe applicant's arborist. The reconunendations made by the Town's Consulting Arborist have been incorporated as conditions of approval for the Architecture and Site application. 8. Neighborhood ·Concerns The The applicant has held numerous neighborhood meetings to discuss the project. The minutes of these meetings are included in Exhibit A. As a result ofthese meetings and meetings with Town staff, the following has been incorporated in the plans and/or conditions of approval: The applicant will prepare an hydraulic study of the watershed to analyze existing drainage issues along the roadside ditch adjacent toWedgewood Avenue betweeIl Mulberry Drive and Wimbledon Drive prior to the issuance of a building permit. , • The applicant has agreed to payfor the installation ofapproximately 1,500 feet ofcurb, gutter and sidewalk within the Town's public right ofway along Wedgewood Avenue, east of the existing driveway, to mitigate the existing drainage problems in this area. .The applicant has agreed to provide plans for the design and construction of a public storm drainbetween Mulberry Drive and Wimbledon Drive. The developer will not be responsible for funding the public storm drain improvements or design. This public stonn drain will be constructed by the Town concurrently with the Wedgewood Avenue curb, gutter and sidewalk. The mounding in the vicinity ofthe 6th hole will be modified to increase on-site detention and to re-direct the overland drainage release to the Santa Clara Valley Water District ditch adjacent to Wedgewood Avenue, west of Mulberry Drive. The service entry gate which currently exists along Wedgewood Avenue, west of Mulberry Avenue, will be relocated easterly to line up with Mulberry Avenue. The service entry has been designed to setback 25 feet from the road to allow a staging area for the delivery vehicles to reduce traffic impacts along Wedgewood Avenue. The existing service entrance can not be modified to provide the staging area due to the location ofa PG&E pole and trees. Another area ofconcern for the neighbors is the delivery route for the service vehicles. The applicant has submitted their delivery schedule (Exhibit C). The Conditional Use Pennit currently requires that all service vehicles and vendors use Wedgewood Drive. This condition was imposed in 1986 when the Club annexed to the Town. The basis for this requirement is that the General Plan classifies Wedgewood Avenue as a Neighborhood Collector street and the street has been designed --to handle this kind of traffic. Some of the neighbors on Wedgewood Avenue have expressed an interest to modify this condition to require deliveries off of Clearview Drive which is classified as The Planning Commission -Page 6 14595 Clem"view Drive/S-04-26, U-04-009 June 9, 2004 a residential street. The Town has received numerous calls from the residents along Clearview Drive who are opposed to this modification. The applicant has not requested this modification and the Town does not recommend that this condition be modified, since it would be in conflict with the General Plan and would direct delivery traffic onto a street designated as a residential street. The construction of the new staging area for deliveries will reduce the traffic problems that may be associated with deliveries. B. RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee considered this matter on May 25, 2004. The applicant has worked well with the Town to make changes to the plan to meet Town concerns. If the Commission finds merit with the proposal, the following action should be taken: 1. Make the required findings and considerations (Exhibit F). 2. Approve the applications subject to conditions which incorporate applicable conditions from the previous Conditional Use Permit (Exhibits G and H). The changes to the conditions of approval for the Conditional Use Permit have been bolded for new additions and deletions have been struck out. u ity Development Prepared by: Sandy L.

LA Pdi--1COI·jflf)/\ COUHTH.Y CLUJ] ]1595 O.EfII<.VIE\)' DllIVr:., Los Gr-:ros, CA 95032 (408) 395-110 J Exhibit A Page: 2 REMODEL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The La Rinconada Country Club is located at 14595 Clearview Drive, on approximately 125 acres of rolling hills in the heart of Los Gatos. The proposed project includes demolition of an existing pro shop/cart barn and replacing it with landscaping and parking. A new restroom building at the 14th Tee and a new restroom/teaching facility at the existing driving range. The existing parking lot will be upgraded with new lighting, drainage systems and landscaping. This new parking lot will be designed to provide a more efficient circulation and parking layout along with incorporating Best Management Practices for the storm water runoff. The existing cart barn adjacent to the Clubhouse will be enlarged and attached to the new addition. The Clubhouse remodel is designed to become a Spanish Style design statement. The finished remodeled project will increase the existing floor area on site approximately 10%. The remodeled Clubhouse will have a stone-finish main entry element with new landscaping . and a pedestrian drop off area. A new stone finish entry tower and wood trellis arcade will be provided for the members' entrance. The relocated pro shop at the rear of the existing loading area will be screened with landscape and screen walls for the trash enclosure. The building materials for the remodeled fac;:ade will include clay tile roofing, copper gutters, exterior plaster system and wood trim. The interior spaces will re-arrange to accommodate the members' current requirements, both in terms of space and amenities. The mixed grill will be relocated at the reqr of the building next to the main dining hall. This area will have its own outdoor stone dining deck overlooking the first tee, fairway, and putting green. The cocktail lounge and the private dining roqm will be located off the main entry lobby to better serve the members and their guests. There will be no work required for the existing kitchen and food preparation areas. The men's locker room will be moved downstairs next to the expanded ladies' locker room, both areas will have a new private members' entry. Both ladies' and men's locker rooms will have improvements such as an entry lobby, lounge, lockers, fireplace, and private outdoor sitting area. The Club's administration office at the second floor will be remodeled to improve the functionality. The space next to the administration office, [the old men's locker room), will be reserved for the Club's future needs. The design concept for the project is to re-create a style indicative of the 1920's and to reflect the stature of the Club when it was first established in 1929. The proposed Clubhouse renovation is meant to identify and serve the needs and desires of the members and community, and to further enhance the qualify of the experience at La Rinconada Country Club. . USE PERMIT AMENDMENT There are two (2) issues that require modification to our existing use permit: 1) Outdoor Dining, 2) Additional members. Adding 60 more members has lime or no impact to the neighborhood or to the Town Under the current use permit LRCC is limited to 451 members. This condition was imposed on or about 1986 at the time of the last remodel request. Of the 451 members, 401 are the maximum number of "certificated" members entitled to full privileges at the Club under the By-Laws of the Club. In addition, the Club allows for approximately 25 "social 􀁭􀁾􀁭􀁢􀁥􀁲􀁳􀀢 who do not have golfing privileges but can eat and/or entertain at the Club. The balance of the 26 memberships is composed of "emeritus members" and "special mem!?ers". '\) \'''''' 􀀮􀁾􀀮􀁩􀀧 Page: 3 Not surprisingly, the use of LRCC is a function of "the number of rounds played" each year not the number of members (for example, if 401 members each play only 10 rounds of golf per year then the total number of trips through the neighborhood is a little over 4000 but if the same 401 members each play 100 rounds of golf, then the number of trips is far greater (40,000) despite the fact. that the same number of people or members remains the same. Given this foundation number,··the number of rounds played by the membership back in 1986 when the Use Permit was established was 40,629 (please see the attached summary of rounds of golf played since 1980). Since 1986, the number of rounds played at LRCC has dropped by nearly 20% (from approximately 40,000 to last year's total of approximately 34,000). What are the reasons for this drop in use of the Club? • Many members now have multiple memberships and so they use the other clubs as well. • Many members now go away for parts of the the winter either to Palm Springs or Scottsdale. • Many members now play at any of the 10 new public courses (Cinnabar Hills (3 courses), Wente Bros., Eagle Ridge, Coyote Valley-Valley Course, Coyote Valley -Tournament Course, San Juan Oaks, Los Lagos, Poppy Ridge) built since 1986. Given the above drop in usage, the Club would like the opportunity to add more members whether they are "certificated", "social" or other. The request is not equal to the drop in usage, which would be 20% of 401 or 80 members but for only an additional 60 members (again, subject to approval by the membership). The request to change the terms and conditions of our Use Permit to now accommodate up to 511 members is justifiable given the underutilizotion qf the Club currently and given the fact that there is no additional impact to the neighborhood or the Town of Los Gatos. Outdoor Dining Is Popular And Prevalent In Many Local Restaurants Under the current terms of our Use Permit, outdoor dining is not permitted. To this day, nobody really understands why that was a condition of approval but we do understand that: • Our outdoor deck is currently being used at gatherings and events; food is not served at this time. There are no complaints from the surrounding properties about outdoor use therefore we believe our request to serve food is reasonable and will not be an impact for the surrounding properties. • Outdoor dining is very popular whether the facility is private or public. • Outdoor dining is prevalent throughout the Town of Los Gatos and a key component to a successful restaurant -one has to look no further than Forbes Mill Steak' House, California Cafe, Steamers, The Wine Cellar, I Gatti and more. • Our membership and the non-members who use LRCC for weddings, bar mitzvahs, parties and the like-want this type of usage as part of their dining experience. • Our spectacular view over the valley demands that those using the LRCC be able to go outside and eat and enjoy the view. Our request for outdoor dining with respect to this project is to allow for outdoor dining on the rear deck off the "Grill Room" and off the "Main Dining Room"; and for the 2 tables off the "Snack Shack" area and the locker rooms. We would ask that the language in the Use permit, which prohibits outdoor dining, be deleted. Page: 4 Community Outreach Members of the La Rinconada staff and selected members of the remodel committee have been meeting with the neighborhood over the last few months. There have been changes to the plan as a result of those meetings. They include: • A complete hydraulic study for the driving range. • The Club has agreed to pay for the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk along Wedgewood Drive approximately (1500'). • Refocation of the service entry gate to allow the delivery vehicles much easier entry/exit movements without having to back up in the street, once or twice to gain access into the property. Minutes are enclosed of these various neighborhood meetings. Please let us know if you need additional information or require further explanation regarding the above and if not, we would ask that the terms of our Conditional Use Permit be modified to allow for up to 511 members and to delete the prohibition against outdoor dining.

I think the design looks very good with only one exception. Wbile the overall design has a lot ofvisual substance, the main entry canopy seems a bit light weight in comparison. The tall stone columns seem too narrow for their height, and one 'would expect to see some side beams on which the roof trusses would rest. Also, the lack of an overhang at the front of the roof seems out of character for an entry canopy of this style. I think the architect should give this entry some additional study.

Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist INTRODUCTION. May 18,2004 The Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department requested I review the proposal to renovate existing buildings, hardscape and .landscaping at the La Rinconada Countty Club, 14595 Clearview Drive, Los Gatos. This report presents my findings and recommendations.' Documents reviewed for this report are as follows: {I} The Tree Survey and Arborist Report (by Deborah Ellis, dated 4/21/04). {2} An addendum to the Arborist Report (also by Deborah Ellis, dated 4/23/04). {3} Sheet Al (by Kenneth Rodrigues & Partners, Inc., dated 4/23/04). {4} Sheets L-l, L:-2 and L-3 (by The GllZzardo Partnership Inc., dated 4/23/04). {5} Sheets CI,C2 and C3 (by Kier & Wright, dated 3/24/04). Information regarding each tree's name, number, location, trunk diameter, condition, suitability for preservation and recommended tree protection zone are presented within the Tree Survey and Arborist Report. The trees' locations can also be viewed on Sheet L-3. FINDINGS The proposed project exposes 78 trees (compl'ised of 17 various species) regulated by Town Ordinance to either potential damage or removal. There are additional trees that have not yet been inventoried but ;will be potentially affected by {I} the proposed restriping and installation ofa hammer-head tutnaround south oftrees #1 and 45, and {2} the proposed sanitary sewer line along the property's east side. Thirty-five trees are in conflict with the proposed design and include #22-44,69-71, 74-80, 82 and 83. By implementing the proposed design, tree #43 would be relocated and all others removed. Given that only two of these trees are assigned a good suitability for preservation (Deodar Cedars #75 and 76), I find the proposed removals are appropriate. I further believe their removal will be sufficiently mitigated by installing the new trees proposed on Sheet L-2. An additional five trees (#5, 15, 18, 53 and 86) are proposed for removal due to their overall poor condition. I encourage their removal regardless of the proposed project. Please note tree #53 presents a significant risk to public safety and should be removed as soon as possible. All trees plmmed for retention would be impacted at tolerable levels provided the revisions and recommendations presented in this report are carefully followed and incorporated into construction plans. On Sheet C1, soil fill is proposed over the root zones of trees #60 thru 68. This type of design is not conducive towards protecting trees and can promote their demise. As such, soil fill must not be designed below the parking lot. La 1?inconada Countly Club, ]4595 Cleal1l iew Drive, Los Gatos Town ofLos Gatos Community Development Department Page] oj'] David1. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist May 18,2004 The Tree Disposition Plan. shows tree #79 twice. The #79 shown next to #69 should be revised to read "70". The heights and canopy sizes of Ordinance-sized trees have not been documented. This should occur as per Town Ordinance Sec. 29.1 0.0995B. Tree #34 is a Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and not an Evergreen Ash (Fraxinus uhdei) as the report indicates. The new irrigation design is not shown but can potentially impact trees planned for . l'etention. I recommend the plan is prepared and reviewed for tree impacts. RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations presented below are provided to help achieve a reasonable assurance of survival for trees planned for retention. ModificatiotlS to the proposed plans may require their revision: 1. On Sheet Cl, redesign the proposed grading beneath the canopies of trees #60 thru 68 to include no soil fill or excavation below (west of) the proposed driveway. Retaining walls used to achieve this shall be comprised of discontinuous footings (e.g. pier and _ beam) with no soil excavation between footings. 2. Retain Ms. Ellis to inventory {I} trees in proximity to the. parking lot renovation south of trees #1 and 45, and {2} those that would be impacted by installing the proposed sanitary sewer line along the east side of the project. 3. Consult with Ms. Ellis on constructing the golf cart path beneath the canopies of trees #54 thru 66. The path must be established on top of existing grade with no soil excavation required (no-dig design). Compaction of the soil subgrade and subbase materials must be minimized. 4. The heights. and canopy spreads of each inventoried tree of Ordinance size shall be documented and submitted to the Town. 5. The site, planting, irrigation, grading, drainage and utility plans should be reviewed by Ms. Ellis.

We do have some concerns and questions about the, proposed, changes and additions at La Rinconada CC. Assuming the application is approved, our comments are, mostly, about traffic. As you probably already know Wedgewood Avenue is a "collector" street saddled with the burden of hundreds ofvehicles daily. Most of those vehicles travel above the posted, 25 mph, speed limit, including large trucks. In 1988, without as many homes, pedestrians, children and bicyclists as there is now, Wedgewood was specifically designated, within the LRCC Use Permit, to be used for all deliveries to the club. This seems unfair to the residents ofWedgewood because we already have so much traffic on our street and the entrance to La Rinconada is actually on Clearview. While cars and trucks that use Wedgewood can not get to their destinantion using Clearview, the delivery vehicles going to LRCC could. Clearview is actually wider than Wedgewood and quite able to handle the trucks going to La Rinconada. We feel that, in 1988, there was not enough representation from Wedgewood residents and the Clearview residents, along with LRCC members, got this rule pushed through. Today, given the chance, we would band together as a neighborhood and oppose being designated"as the "back door" to LRCC. lfthe members can go to and from the club on Clerarview, why can't their food, alcohol and construction supplies? During recent work at the water site, traffic on More Street was controlled through the use of "flagmen" and the use of extra signage, etc. We would ask for the same kind of controls. If there is no construction personnel or, even even better, Police OfficerscontroIling the situation construction vehicles using our street will most certainly be speeding and causing dangerous situations. LA Rinconada Country Club is a private business operating in a residential neighborhood. There are other streets and entrances that can be used to get to there. La Rinconada Country Club is private, they create no recreation or other kind ofservice for the residents ofthis neighborhood or Town residents in general. Why should we have to endure the traffic caused by their daily operation or special projects? IfLRCC were a public course or a park for all to enjoy, situations like this proposal would seem to be less of an imposition. As it is now, the Country Club is the source of additional traffic, flooding problems, noise rules are broken and golf balls hit our properties, all with very little concern shown by the Club. Clearview has no truck traffic. Wedgewood has it all, including those going to the Safeway Center and beyond. In your decisions and approvals, please protect the rights and quality oflife for those who live adjacent to the Club. Put traffic controls in place for the construction period. Review the LRCC Use Permit and make either Clearview, or the club's maintenance entrance on Zena Avenue, the everyday entry for all deliveries to the Club. 􀀻􀁾􀀺􀁾􀁾􀁾􀀧􀀬􀀧􀀭􀀭􀁾􀁾 -ot---Ad!􀁾􀀬􀁤􀁌􀀭 Mark Medalie /Linda ReynOldl 􀁾 Exhibit J Y?ose Planning Commission Town of Los Gatos Main Street Los Gatos, CA RECEIVED JUN 0 9 2004 RE: Architecture and Site application S-04-026 Conditional Use Permit U-04-009 TOWN OF LOS GATOS PLANN(NG DIVISION Ladies and Gentlemen: I regret that I am unable to attend this evening's meeting to voice my concerns about the proposed expansion ofthe La Rinconada Country Club. I live at the corner ofWimbledon Drive and Clearview Drive. Based on traffic studies done last year, I understand that we already have over 3,000 vehicles per day that drive through our otherwise quiet neighborhood. Given my location, I can tell you from eye witness observation that the cars are not traveling the speed limit, that, when the passing trucks literally rattle the very foundations of our homes, they are much heavier than was intended for our narrow little residential street, and that most (Yes, really "most") of all vehicles don't make a full stop but rather slow to a slight roll, and a good percentage ofthose then hit the gas pedal and roar away from the stop sign like the flag just went down at the Indy 500.· I strongly object to anything that would increase traffic on Wimbledon Drive or 400 block of Clearview Drive and given the short description that came on the postcard notice, it sounds like the Country Club is asking permission to generate more traffic. Instead, I plead with the Town ofLos Gatos to help our neighborhood be restored to normalcy with some sort oftraffic calming program. I understand that trucks used to use La Rinconada off Winchester to Zena to make deliveries. I don't know why this changed but it does not seem right that the 111 homes of Wimbledon Place Homeowners Association and the homes on Wedgewood have to suffer this level oftraffic when there is a far shorter and more direct route that has been used in the past. Jessie Pu ofthe Los Gatos Public Works evidently agreed that trucks don't belong on Wimbledon Drive when he had a sign placed on Winchester Blvd just before the left turn lane to Wimbledon Drive indicating that truck were to continue further to Knowles and Pollard to gain access to the area behind our townhome development. The truckers simply ignore the sign. Please help! Don't let a corporation's or some Town official's desire for more revenue further erode the peace of our neighborhoods.

Courtside Club. I discovered that this topic was to be discussed at tonight's meeting of the Planning Commission while reading the newspaper today. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the meeting, but I would like to express my views-both as a homeowner and as a member of the Board of Wimbledon Place Homeowners' Association. Neither Wedgewood nor Clearview should be used. Instead, the route that would inconvenience the least amount of homeowners is the one from Winchester to La Rinconada to 􀁚􀁥􀁮􀁡􀁾 . I urge you to require trucks making deliveries to La Rinconada Country Club to take this route because this plan would be be the most sensible one to adopt.

The entry to Rinconada Golf and Country Club should be through a much wider street i.e. La Rinconada Drive. It certainly would make much more sense to adopt some stringent rules for such large noisy vehicles passing through the middle of a townhouse complex.
