91 <br /> <br /> Judy Gray, owner of Parcel #11, asked that her property be <br /> designated as medium density if the other properties that were <br /> being considered were changed. <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, reminded Council of the <br /> Planning Commission's action concerning this matter. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the <br />public hearing closed. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer explained that the last time this application <br />came to Council he questioned the Office/Commercial designation <br />because he believed that a rock wall with a nice sign with the name <br />of the area would be better for the entrance to this area. He was <br />only referring to Parcels 1, 4 and 5 to be residential so that the <br />area could have a softer entrance. He apologized for the <br />misconception. He felt that this should be a beautiful entrance to <br />a beautiful area and should not be Office/Commercial. Mayor Mercer <br />then referred to Exhibit C and asked if the soundwalls had to be <br />built as far back as shown. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift answered yes because that would be the only way to <br />meet the City's noise criteria. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver explained that the Mayor's recommendation had made <br />a lot of sense when you were to look at a map where Medium Density <br />was planned. He understood the recommendation and supported it but <br />at this point, he would support leaving it Office/Commercial except <br />for the Greenes' property. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner agreed with Mr. Tarver's comment that on paper <br />the change to Medium Density seemed right. After driving around <br />Sunol Boulevard area she concluded that the lots bordering Sunol <br />Boulevard should not be changed to Medium Density because it is too <br />busy of a street. She did like the idea of that type of entrance <br />but did not think that medium density was practical. She felt that <br />there needed to be a way to protect and buffer this rural area. <br />She supported going back to the original designation of <br />Office/Commercial. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Scribner, and seconded by Mr. Tarvet, to <br />designate Parcels 1, 4 and 5 as Office/Commercial. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Scribner and Tarver <br />NOES: Mayor Mercer <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Butler <br />ABSTAIN: Councilmember Mohr <br /> <br />6/16/92 ~3 <br /> <br /> <br />
