46 to that before Council at this time . Planning Commission at that time deferred taking action because of the pending Laurel. Way Assessment District , which sub - sequently was terminated without prejudice at a Council public hearing , Mr . Richard Gardella , attorney representing Mr . and Mrs . Miller , recalled that under the assessment proceedings , assessment of the parcel was based on seven residential units , while his clients felt that four units were acceptable . He also stated that the deed restrictions prohibited development beyond what was being proposed . He indicated they were asking approval of subdivision map con- ditioned upon standard street improvements . Sub - division of the property would also permit assess- ment of each lot , rather than the parcel as a whole . There was brief discussion relating to the single 25 -foot access for three of the parcels from unimproved street . Mr , William Holtman , 3765 Laurel Way , objected to the application for subdivision , because of increased hillside density and because he felt this would increase assessments for the neighboring properties , He also objected to the fact that ad - jacent property owners were not notified of this meeting . Mr . Gerald Martin , 315 Sussex Court , Belmont , advised he owned property in the area involved , and favored the requested subdivision . Mr . Raymond Pflug , 3769 Laurel Way , spoke against the resubdivision , and felt that since he had not been notified , the matter should be continued to allow further time to present his case . Vice -Mayor Henderson requested response from Staff regarding the matter of giving notice . City Manager pointed out the item was not a public hearing , nor was it required , and that the matter was before Council under deadlock vote of the Planning Commission as a referral by them . Councilman Rhodes inquired what the area per lot should be under sloping density pro- visions of the Ordinance . Planning Director responded that proposed Lots 3 and 4 were the steepest , with Lot 3 having a 100- foot drop . Under the Ordinance , Lot 3 would be required to have a minimum of 54 , 000 sq , ft . (proposed : 22 , 300 sq . ft . ) : Lot 4 , a minimum of 51 , 000 sq . ft . (proposed : 20 , 000 sq . ft . ) ; and Lot 2 , a minimum of 22 , 000 sq . ft , (proposed : l6 , 500 sq . ft . ) ; Lot 1 conforms to the Ordinance . Basis for these lot sizes , particularly where the terrain is very steep , is that it is undevelopable in the traditional sense , Planning Director noted that this is where the Planned Development provides a developer the opportunity to build more than a single family residence . He added that under Planned Development Permit , whatever is proposed would have to be carefully scrutinized and would include soils reports , so that there would be definite assurance that the physical structure of the land would support the development . Mr . Ben Hatfield , 1. 025 Jones Court , Owner of a lot in the Laurel Way area , indicated he would like to see Laurel Way improved , and felt that the subdivision into four lots was proper . Mr . Morris Montandon , 20916 Alves Drive , Cupertino , spoke in favor of the application for subdivision . 5 /22 /72
