. . . PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Dennis Gade, 2778 Longspur Way, expressed his thanks to staff to their diligence and hard work in all the meetings over this issue. Regarding staff's changing permitted uses 10 conditional uses, Mr. Gade feels it is in their best interest to still push for office use only for Building 5. Regarding the landscaping, they prefer larger, more mature landscaping be planted than what is proposed. Ty Shettron, Northwest Asset Management, 300 Orchard City Dr., #107, Campbell, represented the shopping center owners. The office use only restriction for Building 5 is unacceptable and financially infeasible for this building. They would like to add back 11 of the 51 deleted uses. Regarding Condition lC, Mr. Shettron asked for direction on the No Trespassing signs to be erected and asked that "and other authorized personnel" be added to the sign. Condition IE, time of lighting. The property owners are not able to restrict public access (foot traffic) to the back parking lot, and they would ask for an extension of the 7:30 p.m. shut -off time because of their concerns for liability. They have gone to great lengths to shield any glare from the residences and feel this will not be an issue to the neighbors. Commissioner Hovingh asked the speaker if he would agree to restricting business hours to 7:30 p.m. in Building 5 in exchange for the 11 additional uses requested. Mr. Shettron feels this restriction would not be constitutional. Chairman Lutz stated such a restriction would be a condition of the PUD and an acceptable restriction. Mr. Beougher agreed. Commissioner Wright does not agree to the speaker's concern of liability and is of the opinion that leaving the parking lot light on past 7:30 p.m. would be an inducement to skateboarders. The bollard lights and building lights would provide enough visibility on the sidewalks. He agrees to the addition of "other authorized personnel" on the sign, and feels the 24-inch box tree is a mature tree. Thomas Cave, 150 Almaden Blvd., #1375, San Jose, spoke to their liability issues. There were roof-mounted lights, which have been turned off some months ago due to neighbors' complaints. Requiring the lights be turned off at 7:30 p.m. is of great concern. He proposed a middle ground to turn off the light standard at 9:00 p.m. and continue the light bollards all night. Mr. Cave feels there will be some authorized people in this area (employees of Popi Lounge and La Petite Academy janitors). Mr. Beougher advised that staff wishes only 15 ft. parking lot light standard be turned off at 7:30 p.m. The bollard lighting would continue to stay on. Mr. Cave spoke to Building 5 and office uses. The Manulife owners are very concerned about the 7:30 p.m. business hours restriction. They have been advised by real estate Planning Coounission Minutes Page 12 February 28. 1996
