Minutes Planning Commission 5/27/87 Bud Johnson, architect, presented the renderings, color, and material boards for the projects stating there will be 27,000 sq. ft. retail and 8,000 sq. ft. restaurants on site. They will provide 371 parking spaces. Commissioner Michelotti asked what type of restaurant was envisioned for the site. Michael Martinez, 1935 Dry Creek Road, Campbell, stated that it is their intention to have an upper-scale coffee shop such as a Peppermill Restaurant on site. Commissioner Mahern discussed signage for the retail center, noting that staff recommended the letters be reduced from 27" to 20". Mr. Gresham stated they have no problems in going to the 20" letters. Commissioner Mahern then discussed the white letters on the blue awning and what would happen if a tenant wanted a particular logo which did not include these colors. Mr. Johnson stated there might be a white block with the logo inside of it. Should that situation arise, they would then ask the City for approval. Mr. Swift stated that if the logo is put on the blue awning in a white block, staff has no objection to this. However, the staff does not want to see the logos on the signs. Mr. Swift reported that the way the conditions of the staff report read, the only item left for which Koll will have to get City approval for this site would be for the choice of color for their free-standing monument sign. Commissioners Tarver and Mahern discussed with the applicant the brick material and the location of the dumpster. Mr. Gresham explained the brick-looking material is not brick. The location of the dumpster will be behind walls and well screened. Commissioner Tarver asked about the screening of mechanical quipment on the roof. Mr. Gresham reviewed the proposed screening and made comparisons between their project and Pedro's restaurant on Hopyard Road. Commissioner Tarver addressed the traffic reports prepared for the development of this project and asked if the 1985 or 1986 counts were used in preparing the reports. Mr. Kinzel stated that the November 1986 counts were used. Commissioner Tarver discussed the ability of the City to close off the westernmost driveway should it become necessary. Mr. Kinzel reviewed the history of the traffic studies done for the area way before the development of the Koll project. Commissioner Tarver asked if the intersection of Hopyard Road/Valley Avenue was considered in the traffic analysis since it is a primary feeder to the Koll project. Mr. Kinzel reported that the impacts of this intersection were considered when the - 3 - .__ T
