Recommended Motion: Deny the appellants! request and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of Design Review #94 -024 and #94 -025.. Report Summary: Background: The original 3.05 acre site at the end of Douglass Lane was divided into two single- family building sites in March of 1993. Parcel 1 has a net site area of 1.25 acres and contains the original residence. The lower Parcel 2 is vacant and'is 1.5 net acres in size. The Tentative Parcel Map approval of the two lots also established environmental protection measures such as the recorded open space easement along the Wildcat Creek tributary and a minimum width access road to retain as many of the existing trees as possible. A pedestrian trail connection was also. recorded through the property connecting the two ends of Douglass Lane. The individual applications, to construct two homes on these newly created parcels were presented to the Planning Commission at the July 27, 1994 and September 14, 1994 public hearing meetings. The attached staff reports concluded that the Design Review findings could be made to support the proposals. This was based on the design of the homes, their location at the end of a relatively isolated cul -de -sac, the diverse nature of existing homes within the greater area and their conformance with all applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements. While the homes along Douglass Lane are smaller than these two proposals, and fairly homogenous in design, the other surrounding homes vary from the expansive Goodrich estate to the larger one -acre lot developments along the Fruitvale Avenue -side Douglass Lane. Appeal: As the attached correspondence from neighborhood residents and meeting minutes reflect, neighborhood opposition to the plans was expressed at both public hearings. The main concern was that these new structures would be architecturally incompatible with the existing homes in the Douglass Lane /Durham Court neighborhood. The basis for the appeal is that the Planning Commission did not give due consideration to plan amendments proposed by Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey, the Durham Court neighbors most directly effected by the proposals. In response to their appeal, the applicant, Mr. Mark Roberts, has submitted a revised rear elevation exhibit for Parcel 1 which provides greater articulation to this side of the proposed residence - the elevation most visible from the Woolseys' property. The extent of these changes are outlined in the applicant's attached letter dated October 26, 1994. Recommendation: The Planning Commission gave these two applications their careful consideration at two public hearing meetings. They visited the proposed building sites and viewed the on -site building height poles from neighboring properties, including the Woolseys' back yard. Ultimately, they found that the necessary Design Review findings could be made to approve the applications with the conditions contained in the approval Resolutions. Based on_this, staff recommends that the Planning Commission decision be upheld and that the appeal be denied. Staff would also recommend revising the approval Resolution to incorporate the proposed rear elevation modifications represented per Exhibit "B" and to require a darker color scheme. The Planning Commission approved Resolutions . currently provide for neighbor input as to what types of trees will be planted, and where, prior to their installation in order to protect existing views. The preliminary landscape plan incorporated in Exhibit "A" was requested by the Planning Commission to mitigate neighbor comments that the new homes would be too visible. Public Notice: Public notices were mailed to property owners within 500 ft. of the subject properties and a notice was placed in the Saratoga News. Follow -up Actions: If the City. Council upholds the Planning Commission's decision, a Resolution will be prepared reflecting this action which will be placed on the agenda of the next regular City Council meeting. If the appeal is granted, the applicant should be directed to address those items in the Appeal Application deemed appropriate by the City Council. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motion: The application will be continued to direct the applicant to address any design changes recommended by the City Council. Attachments: 1.

THIS APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY CLERK, 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE, SARATOGA CA 95070, BY 5:00 P.M. WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) CALENDAR DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE DECISION. 4 Saratoga City Council City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: • 19952 Durham Ct Saratoga, CA 95070 September 29,1994 At the public hearings on July 27 and September 14, our neighborhood expressed concerns about the development at 14350 and 14360 Douglass Lane. Information was presented both by correspondence prior to the meeting and orally at the meeting. The grounds for our appeal are that the Planning Commission did not address the following specific concerns of the neighbors to the project. 1. The architectural design of any building must stand on its own design merit. We do not believe that the Design Review Process permits approval of a building by just screening.. Planting twice as many trees as requested by the City ignores the bulk and size concerns raised by the neighbors. 2. The neighbors requested softening of the building at certain areas of the residences (particularly on lot #1) with added horizontal elements, having the bays be true bay windows, and adding elements to lessen the impact of the lower floor from the finished grade. At the presentation the applicant did not provide side and rear elevations of both residences, which would show the bulk problems. They only provided a perspective drawing, which is an artist's interpretation, and did not provide an actual view of the height/bulk concerns. They stressed that these residences were one story from the street, which was not a problem with the neighbors. 3. There was no discussion by the Planning Commission or staff of future and allowable structures, or any conditions restricting areas and size of said structures as requested by public testimony. The residences were designed to be just under the allowable square footage. Any added accessory structures by the future owners of these residences will require approval by the City for square footage over the balance allowable. y� 4.There was no discussion on the impact of the suggested color of these building as requested by the immediate neighbors. The suggested colors by the applicants are off - white, which will produce glare to the neighbors to the rear. The wrong color will add impact to the height and bulk of the residences. The applicant has offered to work with the neighbors on the colors, however his offer must be a condition of approval. 5. The petition with 47 signatures indicated the wide spread neighborhood concern. This is a long established, unpretentious neighborhood which values their existing simple, rustic atmosphere. The size and design compatibility of the proposed structures were questioned. This issue was not given credence by the Planning Commission. 6.The applicant stated he had. made contact with the neighborhood prior to the Planning Commission meeting. He wrote to several on the Saturday prior to the first meeting suggesting that they meet on the Monday night before the first meeting. This was only a token request as there was not enough time to review the established design of the residences. Some residents had conflicts and could not respond, let alone attend. 77he decision was made by only four commissioners. Several were not on the commission at the time of the July 27 meeting. Even through they read the minutes, this application should have been heard by a full commission because of the neighborhood concerns. The request was made by several of the neighbors to have a Work Session to allow concerns to be worked out with them and the applicant. This request was not adequately considered. This appeal is being filed on behalf of the neighborhood by Shanta Loomer, Dr. Robert and Mary Lohr, Ming -Ching and Leslie Tang, and Robert and Annette Woolsey.

DR -94 -018 - Nigam; 21451 Continental Circle, request for Design Review approval to construct a new 5,248 sq. ft. two -story residence per Chapter 15 of the City Code. The property is a 3.06 acre vacant parcel located within the Hillside Residential (HR) zoning district (cont. to 10/12/94 at the request of the applicant; the application expires 1/20/95). ON A MOTION BY COMMISSIONERS SIEGFRIED /ABSHIRE, THE COMMISSION CONTINUED AGENDA ITEM 1 TO OCTOBER 12, 1994. THE MOTION CARRIED 4 -0 (COMMISSIONERS ASFOUR, CALDWELL, AND KAPLAN ABSENT). PUBLIC HEARINGS 2. DR -94 -024 - Roberts, 1430 Douglass Ln. (Parcel 1), request for Design Review approval to demolish an existing single - family home and construct a new 5,638 sq. ft. two -story residence in its place pursuant to Article 15- 45 of the Saratoga Zoning Ordinance. The subject parcel is 1.25 net acres in size and is located within an R -1- 20,000 zoning district (cont. from 7/27/94 at direction of Planning Commission). Planner Walgren presented the staff report on both agenda items 2 and 3. Commissioner Siegfried noted that the extensive minutes of the previous meeting were included in the packet and reviewed by the new Commissioners. Vice - Chairman Murakami opened the public hearing on both agenda items 2, and 3 at 7:41 p.m. Mark Roberts, 13690 Fortuna Court, Saratoga, applicant, commented that he felt that the concerns of the Commission and neighbors have been addressed (i.e., lot layout and landscape design). He also addressed the concerns relating to lot #2 and its relationship to the open space easement. Glen Cahoon, G &G Builders, 1585 The Alameda, San Jose, architect, stated that the homes were designed to step down the hill with the' contours of the natural grade as best as possible. He showed the footprint and property layout to better illustrate how the foot prints and the homes relate to the neighborhood. He .described the style of the homes in the surrounding area (Durham Court). He stated that extensive screening exists on Mr. Tang's property and lot 6. The homes have been setback at least 65 feet from any adjacent homes. The existing homes average approximately 3,000 square feet. A tremendous amount of land is associated with the two parcels under discussion. The homes proposed are larger than those in the neighborhood, but they were well under the floor area ratios as well as height and setback (well under percentages of coverage). The elevations for the homes PLANNING COMMISS 1 MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE -3- indicate deep overhangs (2.5 feet) which adds a large shadow, creating a very long horizontal line. In addition to that, some of the horizontal lines are broken up with stucco channel. The two story homes are to be limited to about a third of the overall footprint of the entire building. The home was not a stacked, two story residence. He informed the Commission that Parcel 2 would have the same architectural style and would be compatible with that of the neighborhood. He presented slides that illustrate that the existing landscaping and trees assist in screening the sites from adjacent parcels (Tang, Lohr and Woolsey homes). He felt that the following concerns.have been addressed: modulation along the rear of parcel 1 has occurred; implementing twice the required amount of tree replacement (required to install 8, 24 -inch boxed trees, proposes to install 16, 24 -inch boxed trees), trees to be modulated and not stacked along the property line, and that the riparian easement would remain undisturbed. John Teter, 19931 Durham Court, spoke in opposition to the development because of the size, bulk and incompatibility with the neighborhood. He requested that the size of the homes be restricted to that of the average home in the neighborhood (i.e., approximately 3,500 square feet). Bob Woolsey, 19952 Durham Court, agreed that a developer has a right to develop land. He felt that the issue was whether the homes meet the City's design standards. He submitted a petition in opposition to the proposed homes from the Douglass Lane /Durham Court residents. He felt that design review requires that proposed homes be compatible to that of existing homes in terms of height and bulk. He questioned how a 5,500 square foot structure would not appear bully? The existing homes in the neighborhood averaged between 2,700 to 3,500 square feet in size. He felt that the massive size of the structure and the expanse in walls would be visible to the adjacent residents. He felt that the homes proposed were designed to the maximum allowed. He stated that Mr. Roberts, at no time, attempted to meet with the neighbors to address the concerns which they may have. Jeanne Johnston, 14350. Douglass Lane, concurred with the comments expressed by Mr. Woolsey. Her comments were relevant to both parcels because she did not see a difference between the two homes and she felt that both homes were oversized. She conceded that as they were two lots of record, two homes would eventually be built on them. However, these homes appear to be ugly, bulky, and do not fit with the character of the existing neighborhood. She did not understand why Mr. Roberts proposes these homes knowing that the adjacent residents oppose their design. Also, Mr. Roberts has not met with the neighbors to address their concerns. She believed that the homes were being built on speculation and she did not feel that it was fair to the neighbors. She requested that the Commission allow further meetings with the developer. Barbara Lulu 14190 Douglass Lane, stated that she did not object to the lots having homes built. She stated that she did object to the overall size of the homes on parcel 1 and 2. She understood that the size of the homes were within the city's regulations. She did not feel that homes averaging 5,500 square feet fit in the neighborhood. She did not want the neighborhood to turn into the patterns that Cupertino has fallen into whereby large homes are built to the maximum allowed. She' requested that the homes to be built, be required PLANNING COMMISS 1 MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 , PAGE - 4 - to .be compatible with the rest of the neighborhood in regards to size. Dr. Robert Lohr, 14300 Douglass Lane, stated his opposition to the oversized edifice homes proposed because they were too large and do not fit with the neighborhood. He informed the Commission that the- backyard contained a neglected orchard. The existing trees that help screen the development from his property would be removed. He felt that it was inconceivable that the compatibility of the neighborhood would be allowed to be disrupted in this fashion. He concurred with the previous comments expressed. He welcomes new neighbors, but did not feel that the size of the homes fit nor enhance the neighborhood as far as aesthetics are concerned. Annett Woolsey, 19952 Durham Lane, commented that she provided the Commission with a letter listing a number of consideration in architectural ideas to soften the homes. She addressed. the landscaping proposed to soften the bulk of the home. She felt that the preliminary landscaping plans lacked important details such as the type of landscaping to be installed. The location of the trees needed to be carefully planned and designed so that the view of the hillside are not obstructed.- The developer is proposing to install a number of redwood trees which would grow tall quickly. She requested that it be stipulated that a maximum height for the trees be designated by useW substitute trees so that her view could be preserved. The landscape plans do not indicate the location of other accessory items (i.e., pool, pool houses). She stated her concern with the impact that these structures would have on the immediate neighbors, both noise and visual impacts. The homes are proposed to be built to the maximum square footage. If future owners want to build a pool house, she questioned if a variance would be required to add square footage. She did not want to have a future building intrude any further to the privacy of the immediate neighbors. She requested the opportunity to allow the neighbors to meet with the developer and. the Commission in a work study session to discuss the issues of compatibility and privacy. Gary Pastre, 14230 Douglass Lane, concurred with Ms. Woolsey's comments regarding the landscape planting. He stated that he filed a letter earlier outlining his general concerns and would expand on them this evening. He understands property rights but opposed this development. He felt that those who lived in the community would have a greater stake than the new property owners. He was saddened when he read in the newspaper that the Julia Morgan Cottage was going to be bull dozed with construction, destroying a Saratoga heritage. He addressed the environmental issues associated with site development. He informed the Commission that he was a volunteer for the Santa Clara Creek Coalition and that Wild Cat Creek was one of the few creeks in the area that runs year round. The creek has been reviewed by the Creek Coalition and others and has been found to contain native fish species. The creek has been determined to have a high habitat potential for the red legged frog which will be placed in an endangered species list. Both the State Department of Fish Game and local organizations are very interested in habitats like this one. He was engaged and looking for some proposal to protect this habitat. He recommended that the language of the Riparian Easement be strengthened in the months to come to add protection to both the native plants and animals that are in this areas. He expressed concern with the impact of runoff containing masonry washings, toxic sprays, and lawn fertilizers to the creek and habitat. He stated his opposition to the development on the PLANNING COMMISS J MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE - 5 - basis of its environmental impact. He questioned if an Environmental Impact Report was filed for the development that he could review. If the homes are to be approved, he encouraged that a meticulous management of the construction and planting be those that do not require toxic sprays, fertilizers, and /or extensive watering. He expressed concern regarding the existing oak trees with construction traffic and recommended constant vigilance with this project. Shanta Loomer, 19974 Durham Court, stated that she has resided at this location for 17 years. Her home was approximately 3,100 square feet. She stated her opposition to the bulk and incompatibility of the structure with those in the neighborhood. She stated her disagreement with Mr. Roberts' comments that the existing trees between her home and that of the Tangs would conceal the new homes. She also felt that the bulk of the. home would depreciate the value of her home in the future. She requested that the Commission reconsider the size of the homes. Kathleen Amezcua, 14110 Shadow Oaks Way, stated her concurrence with the comments expressed by the neighbors regarding the design problems. She spoke to one comment that was made at the last meeting dealing with this issue. It was commented that some of the people who spoke were not directly affected by the construction of these homes. She felt that it was visually one neighborhood and anything that would happen at the end of Douglass Lane would have an impact on her property as well. If massive, bulky, mansion- like homes were approved, they would creep down Douglass Lane and would affect her directly. She believed that there was a law suit against the city due to its negligence in protecting the creek. , She recommended that development along the creek be reviewed. The example of dirt being piled up against the oak tree was a good example of how the city needs to be vigilant to assure that stipulations are adhered to. Mr. Roberts responded to comments raised by the neighbors. He stated that he was not here as a speculator and has lived in Saratoga for 16 years. He felt that he has met all the conditions and requirements of tentative map approval as well as city ordinances. He tried to minimize the impact that the homes would have on the land and to the neighbors. The property was well screened by topography or trees for most of the surrounding residents with the exception of a few. He did not feel that the Shadow Lane residents would be affected by the view shed or the actual construction of the homes. The homes to be built are to be located on a private street. The homes were designed to step down the slope. Extensive research was conducted and it was determined that the existing home was not the Julia Morgan home. The existing home was not structurally sound enough to be maintained. He felt that he did the best that he could to address the concerns of the immediate neighbors such as the Woolseys and Tangs. He addressed their concerns by landscaping and modulation of the home. He stated that the neighbors want screening but they don't want the screening to block their view. The homes located nearby on the half acre lots have 15- 22% lot coverage. He sent out letters to the neighbors prior to the first meeting asking to meet with the neighbors to show them the plans and informed the Commission that not one of the speakers tonight showed up to the meeting. He sent a letter to Mr. Tang and met with Mrs. Tang to inform them that if they had any questions or problems, to contact him so that they could meet. They did not contact him. He also felt that he has been very PLANNING COMMISS 4 MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE -6- sensitive to the protection of the creek. COMMISSIONERS SIEGFRIED /ABSHIRE MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:30 P.M. Commissioner Siegfried questioned what measures have been undertaken during construction to ensure that there is no run -off or construction near the creek similar to the discussion on the commercial property located on Prospect Road. Planner Walgren responded that the concerns on the commercial property were related more to construction activity such as hosing off of the equipment. A condition could be added to monitor this project in the same manner. He informed the Commission that the City was in the process of training its inspectors to monitor and prevent construction equipment from being hosed down preventing drainage into the creek system. He informed the new Commissioners and the public that a 60 foot open space easement was recorded cooperatively with the applicant in order to perpetually preserve the creek (not required by code for a lot split of this type). The open space easement would not allow development at any time in the future within said easement. The zoning district would generally allow up to 50 -60% of lot coverage. 'Staff- felt that the development of the site has been reviewed carefully from an environmental and creek protection stand point. Commissioner Siegfried expressed concern with the location of the trees along the Woolsey property line.as depicted on the landscaping plans. He questioned if staff examined the landscape plans to determine if the location of the trees were appropriate or do the plans warrant further review to determine if the trees would dominate the property as they grow. Planner Walgren responded that staff has had the opportunity to review the landscape plans. The landscape plans were a result of the previous public hearing with the intent to provide as much screening as possible. He has spoken with the Woolsey's and discussed was an alternative of requiring tree species that do not grow quite as tall as redwoods;, that could be accommodated. Relocation of trees could also be accommodated to preserve views. Commissioner Abshire stated that he came prepared to the meeting tonight to accept staff's recommendation and approve the proposal. However, he stated that he was overwhelmed by the response of the neighbors and appreciated their concerns. He stated that he was less inclined to approve the application and recommended that a study session be held with the developer to determine if consensus could be reached with the neighbors and the contractor. Commissioner Patrick expressed concern that the neighbors have requested tree plantings to screen their view. But on the other hand, the neighbors do not want their views blocked nor shadows cast over their yards. She also expressed .concerned with the comments expressed regarding the bulky appearance of the homes. She stated that she was aware that four or five homes could be built on the site that would add to the bulk, traffic and noise concerns. She was not sure if a consensus could be reached between the neighbors and the developer. At her site visit, it appeared that from the Woolsey's backyard, the homes could be seen but that the trees could soften the. homes and still provide a view of the hills. She stated that she could support the request with the stipulation that construction management PLANNING COMMISS J MINUTES SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE -7- guides be followed to protect the hillside and creek. Commissioner Siegfried commented that he was inclined to move forward with the resolution of approval. He understood the neighbors' concern and understood how neighborhoods changed. However, this project was somewhat unique in that the homes sit at the end of the cul -de -sac. He felt that the lot coverage was minimized, the height was four feet under the height limitations, the homes were stepped down the hill, that they met design review requirements, and provide for a riparian corridor. He recommended that a condition'be added to require that staff further examine the landscaping to ensure that the placement and height of the trees make the most sense from both the short term and long term visibility. He did not feel that anything would be accomplished in a study session that staff has not already considered. He stated that he would support both agenda items with the changes in conditions stated and the assurance that the creek is protected from run -off and construction activity. Commissioner Murakami stated that he has had more time to analyze these projects since the last meeting. Regarding the issue of incompatibility to the neighborhood, he believed that this was a transitional neighborhood. He understood the concerns of the residents, especially the residents directly to the north of the proposed project. He understood that the residents have lived there for many years and have enjoyed an unobstructed view. Some of Commissioners have correctly pointed out the fact that a meeting would not help the developer nor the adjacent residents to resolve the problems. The City allows 1.5 acre size lots and he could not find a legal or logical basis to deny these applications. Screening of the project with twice the amount of trees initially recommended by the arborist should help to screen the homes. The homes were setback far enough from the ridgeline trees to mitigate the view. He was satisfied that the 60 foot setback protected the riparian corridor of the creek. He agreed with his fellow Commissioners that the trees should be modified from the types that have been selected by the developer.. Community Development Director Curtis responded to the question raised by Mr. Pastre regarding the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for these applications. He stated that the construction of a single family residence which involves less than four single family homes were exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Therefore no environmental review was required. COMMISSIONERS SIEGFRIED /PATRICK MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO.

PD -94 -002 - Greenbriar Homes; 13150 Saratoga Ave., request for Planned Development -Final Plan approval to construct 94 single - family detached residences at the 24 acre former Paul Masson Winery site. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Saratoga Ave. and Route 85 and is zoned Multiple Use - Planned Development (MU -PD). An Environmental Initial Study, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has been prepared. Based upon review of the Initial Study, staff will recommend adoption of a "Negative Declaration" for this project. Pursuant to Section 21091 of CEQA, an extended public review period is required for the Negative Declaration. Therefore, the project will be presented to the Planning Commission, public testimony will be received and the application will be continued to a subsequent 'public' hearing date for final consideration (staff will be recommending the item be continued to the September 28, 1994 public hearing). Vice - chairman Murakami informed the public that no decision would be made tonight on this item. The extended review period for the negative declaration for the project has not been concluded. Therefore, public testimony would be taken from both the Commission and the public. Commissioner Siegfried commented that at his request, he met with two representatives from Greenbriar Homes to receive back history on the project. Commissioner Abshire stated for the record that he also met with representatives with Greenbriar homes. Commissioner Patrick commented that she had . been contacted by Greenbriar representatives and was provided with an informational packet. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 199.4 PAGE - 16 - Commissioner Caldwell clarified that the spirit of her suggestion was not so much that it would be a remedy to the problem that she saw, but that it might be one thing to look at in trying to soften the back elevation and deal with the issue of a continuous structure that she felt would be seen from the backyards of the down slope neighbors (the applicant to look at that issue- and develop some ideas, for alternatives that could address the concerns). Commissioner Kaplan responded that she did not feel that the residents on Durham Court would have that effect on their property based on her site visit. Commissioner Caldwell reiterated that the applicant maybe able to develop some ideas for alternatives that could address the concerns by either moving the home forward, making it more longitudinal, or some alternate solution. Commissioner Kaplan commented that if you look at page 4, the left side elevation, she questioned if that was the one facing the Tang property. Planner Walgren responded that it was. Commissioner Caldwell responded that it exacerbates the problem of having the two homes side by side. The space between them is significantly reduced from the line of sight. She questioned what Commissioner Kaplan's thoughts about the grading issue of lot. 2. Commissioner Kaplan responded that she had no problem with restricting grading and that grading should not occur under the tree. One of her concerns in the resolution had to deal with the fencing. It implied that the fencing had to be there permanently and that was not the purpose: Yet the resolution permits the applicant to open the fence to move something in under there. She would not like to see heavy equipment go in there. COMMISSIONERS CALDWELL /KAPLAN MOVED TO REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR PARCEL 1 AND CONTINUED APPLICATION DR -94 -024 TO THE SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 TO HAVE THE APPLICANT ADDRESS THE BULK AND COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS THAT WERE VOICED THIS EVENING. PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO THE REAR ELEVATION AND DEALING WITH THE EXPOSURE OF THE TWO PARCELS. IT WILL BE ESSENTIAL FOR THE APPLICANT TO LOOK AT THE TWO LOTS WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED WITH LOT 1. IN PARTICULAR, TO ALLOW STAFF THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDRAFT THE RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TREE NO. 23, TO REQUIRE CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY WHICH WILL SHOW WHERE THE REPLACEMENT TREES WILL BE LOCATED, AND IDENTIFY ANY ADDITIONAL SCREENING THAT MIGHT BE PROPOSED FOR THE NEIGHBORS. LOT 1, THE STRUCTURE IS LESS IN CHARACTER WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAN THAT OF THE STRUCTURE FOR LOT NO. 2. IT WAS ENCOURAGED THAT THE APPLICANT TRY TO DEAL WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND BE MORE SENSITIVE WITH THE DESIGN OF LOT 1. Mr. Roberts stated his concurrence with the motion to continue. He would be willing to review alternatives although he stated that he was not pleased to have the continuance to go all the way. to September. But if that was the only available meeting date available, so be it. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 17 - THE MOTION CARRIED 3 -0 (CHAIRMAN ASFOUR ABSENT). COMMISSIONER KAPLAN MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. DR -94 -005, WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS: THE GRADING TO BE ELIMINATED WITHIN THE RIPARIAN OPEN SPACE EASEMENT; TURF BLOCK BE USED IN THE DRIVEWAY; AND THAT THE CONDITION REGARDING THE MATERIAL BOARD BE CLARIFIED. Community Development Director Curtis expressed concern that the Commission and the neighbors had question regarding the two projects in similar ways. One question is do you continue parcel one and approve parcel 2 or do you continue parcel 2 also to see the resolution of approval. He pointed out that if one is continued to September 14, that was fine. But if the other one is approved tonight, it is approved subject to a fifteen day appeal period. The two parcels would be separated in two and are located side : by side. He questioned if it would make a difference to the applicant. THE MOTION FAILED FOR THE LACK OF A SECOND. Vice - chairman Murakami felt that the way that both lots are lined up, it would be'better to make a decision on both of them. Commissioner Caldwell concurred with Vice - chairman Murakami's comment. In particular, if there is a solution that may involve moving the structure on lot number 2 slightly to address the continuous wall, that the applicant would have the flexibility to do that. COMMISSIONERS CALDWELL /MURAKAMI MOVED TO _REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUED THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR APPLICATION DR -94- 025, LOT 2, TO ITS SEPTEMBER 14 MEETING FOR THE PURPOSES OF HAVING THE APPLICANT ADDRESS THE DESIGN ISSUES AND LINE OF SITE.

THE MOTION CARRIED 2 -1 AS FOLLOWS: AYES: CALDWELL, MURAKAMI; NOES: KAPLAN; ABSTAIN; NONE; ABSENT: ASFOUR. 4. V -94 -011 - McCullough; 15985 Quito Road; request for Variance approval to allow a. fire destroyed single - family home to be reconstructed at its original location and configuration in conflict with current Zoning Ordinance requirements regarding building setbacks, lot coverage and enclosed parking. The subject property is 1.2 acres in size and is located within an R -1- 40,000 zoning district. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 3 - Planner ,Walgren recommended that page 2 of the first finding be amended to read as follows: - COMMISSIONERS CALDWELL /KAPLAN MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. V -94 -005 AS AMENDED. THE MOTION CARRIED 3 -0 (CHAIRMAN ASFOUR ABSENT). 2. DR -94 -024 - Roberts, 14350 Douglass Lane (Parcel 1); request for Deign Review approval to demolish an. existing single - family home and construct a new 5,638 square foot two -story residence in its place pursuant to Article 15 -45 of the Saratoga Zoning Ordinance. The subject parcel is 1.25 net acres in size and is located within an R -1- 20,000 zoning district. ' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - - - -- Planner Walgren presented the staff report on this item. He informed the Commission that a letter-was received from Mr. Robert Woolsey, 19952 Durham Court, expressing concern regarding the potential incompatibility of the proposed 5,000+ square foot homes with the existing homes with the existing homes on Douglass Lane and Durham Court. Since the report has gone out, staff has received several' additional letters from: a resident at 14150 Douglass Lane expressing concern regarding the architectural capability and the size of homes; Mr. Spencer Azala, 19897 Douglass Lane, expressing concern regarding the compatibility of the homes and the protection of the riparian corridor; Marilyn Berg, 14191 Douglass Lane, expressed concern regarding the compatibility of these homes (parcel 1 and 2) with the existing homes and the protection of the riparian corridor; and Gary Paster, 14230 Douglass Lane, expressed concerns with tree preservation, architectural compatibility and riparian protection. He informed the Commission that an. overhead has been prepared with addresses shown on it to reference the different properties which would likely be affected by this proposal. Three Monterey pines are proposed to be removed. Two would need to be removed to accommodate construction and one is being taken out which is outside of construction. The City's arborist has had the opportunity to review the proposal. There is a nine inch DBH . coast live oak within the front of the house that Mr. Coate has given a high rating to. As it stands this evening, staff recommends that it be transplanted elsewhere on the site rather than be removed. Staff has had the opportunity to discuss this requirement with the City arborist who felt that the size of the tree and its health could be a successful candidate for transplanting. Commissioner Caldwell stated that based on her land use visit and review of the documents and since the applicant was the same for both agenda items 1 and 2 that; some of the issues may relate to both items and questioned if the Commission should discuss both agenda items 2 and 3 at one time. She also felt that the neighbors also may wish to address both items. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE -4- Community Development Director Curtis commented that if the public hearing was to be opened for both items, that the Commission repeat the agenda item which is under discussion under the joint public hearing. The Commission should then close the public hearing on both agenda items and then take action on each agenda item. Commissioner Caldwell commented that on agenda item 2 and the transplanting of the tree, she questioned if staff had given any thought as to what would happen if the tree does not survive the transplanting. Planner Walgren responded that at this point there is no means to follow up that a tree survives other than the requirement that the transplanting is overseen by an ISA Certified Arborist. There is no long term provision for checking on the tree's survival over the years. Commissioner Caldwell stated that in the past, the City had sometimes required maintenance bonds for a specified period of time where regular inspections are performed or security deposit required. She questioned if those measures would be appropriate in this case. She stated that she was leery of the .transplanting of the tree because she knows that it was difficult to have a successful transplant. Planner Walgren responded that one way to ensure the trees survival is to require the transplanting up front before demolishing or construction occurs and then have the arborist check the tree to see what its status looks like before the house is finaled. It would be a year or so before it is known how the tree is taking without having to have a restriction that goes to five. years to be the responsibility of a future owner. Commissioner Caldwell questioned that in that instance if it was the arborist's opinion that the tree was not going to survive, the city would have a contingency to provide an equal value replacement. Planner Walgren agreed with Commissioner Caldwell's statement /question. Commissioner Caldwell had questions pertaining to parcel number 2. In looking at the applicant's proposal for additional grading within the riparian corridor in the open space easement created at the subdivision level, she noted that there was an ordinance sized oak tree that is very close to the location of the proposed grading. In fact, the grading would take place within the root zone of said tree. She noted that the original purpose of the open space easement was to maintain a portion of the property as open space for wild life use and to protect water quality and other reasons that were cited at time of subdivision approval. She was wondering if there was any other way of resolving this drainage problem that staff was aware of and whether staff had any concern about grading in the open space easement. Planner Walgren responded that staff discussed this issue with the applicant early on in the application process just because of the fact that there was grading proposed within the open space easement. Grading is not strictly prohibited but it clearly is not in the spirit of the open space easement. Planner Walgren stated that the applicant responded that the grading was a minor one to two feet of contouring to direct drainage from the residence but that it could be eliminated. Particularly if.work is to occur within the dripline line of the oak tree, then staff would support merely eliminating the grading which the applicant has stated can be done and be replaced with a minimum retaining wall outside of the open space easement Commissioner. Caldwell also expressed concern which spawned by looking at the additional drainage proposal about the driveway because it was relatively close to the riparian area. She looked at the Best Management Practices that was written by the San Francisco Bay PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 5 - Regional Water Quality Control Board and developed by the staff as well as the Santa Clara Valley Water District staff. These were best management practices design phase for new construction and redevelopment and they speak clearly to the fact that the City is encouraged in planning to limit impervious coverage. Particularly in areas with water quality benefits and to maintain a natural topography and drainage system, through vegetation as much as possible. She wondered if staff sees any particular problems with a condition that would require at least in driveway of parcel number 2 of pervious coverage. Planner Walgren responded that it could be of pervious coverage but would be a little more difficult to maintain. But is commonly done particularly if there is another objective (e.g., getting oxygen or moisture to the tree). Commissioner Caldwell stated that in this case, she did not recall any trees in particular that were very close to the driveway but that it was the proximity of the creek itself. She was concerned with sheeting of the driveway and having some drainage issues there. She stated that in the past, the city required the use of different material or conditioned projects to be of pervious material and that it -would be up to the applicant to decide between turf -block or interlocking pavers. Planner Walgren responded that there were several different levels. Interlocking bricks are much less pervious than an open turf block. An interlocking brick that is on compacted gravel or sand functions very similar to a natural hard surface driveway as far as sheet flowing is concerned. Commissioner Caldwell stated that the last question she had was raised by many of the letters that were received tonight. She questioned if staff had looked into the issue of the size of the homes in the neighborhood where these parcels are to be located. She appreciated the fact that staff printed out the different zoning districts. Planner Walgren responded that staff did not review the size of homes lot by lot. But in general, the tracts north of the property on Durham Court and Douglass Lane are older tracts of primarily one story, ranch style and older style homes. There have been some renovations on Douglass Lane and staff would agree that the letters were probably accurate. The home sizes were much less than the over 5,000 square feet that is being proposed under these applications. However, as you go around the property to the east, where the R -1, 40,000 designation-is; that was the recently approved eight lot Sisters of Mercy subdivision. Those were one acre lots which would permit up to a 6,000 square foot house and would anticipate that the City would receive applications for homes in the 5,000 to 6,000 square foot range. There were also larger homes on Douglass Lane, off of Fruitvale. Visually, they appear larger than the homes off the other end of Douglass Lane and Durham Court. As you go around the property, there are the end lots and horse shoe drives which are the one acre plus lots and the Spaich Estates which are much larger homes. The area is a varied community when viewed in 360 degrees. However, he would agree that the homes off of Douglass Lane and Durham Court are probably within the range indicated in the letters received. Commissioner Kaplan questioned if there was a conflict in the resolution as opposed to the information on the status sheet. Page 6 of the staff report talks about the material and colors proposed as stucco material painted off -white with composition shake roof per the submitted material board. The resolution, item 8, page 10, speaks of earth tones as reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Planner Walgren responded that the approved colors would be those depicted on the material board that is pinned up on the board.should the Commission find them acceptable with the home being an off -white color and should PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE 6 - so stipulate in the resolution. The point of the condition was that the material colors would be restricted to the approved material board presented to the, Commission. Should the applicant wish to amend the colors, it would need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Parcel 2 should also be amended to specify the color. Commissioner Kaplan commented that in the resolution, page % the finding that the proposed main structure be compatible in terms of bulk and height with the existing residential structures on adjacent lots, is not accurate based upon what staff has stated. It is partly true depending on where one is standing and making the 360 degree visual inspection of the neighborhood. She felt that it has to be stated more clearly in the resolution. She requested that staff adjust the finding so that it reads more clearly in the resolution. 3. DR -94 -025 - Roberts; 14360 Douglass Lane (Parcel 2); request for Design Review approval to construct a new 5,435 square foot two -story residence on a vacant 1.5 net acre parcel pursuant to Article 15 -45 of the Saratoga Zoning Ordinance. The subject parcel is located within an R -1- 20,000 zoning district. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VICE- CHAIRMAN MURAKAMI OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:03 P.M. FOR AGENDA ITEMS 2 AND 3. Community Development Director Curtis .requested that the speakers indicate which lot or house they were addressing. Mark Roberts, 13690 Fortuna Court, Saratoga, applicant for both parcel, stated that he has been a resident of Saratoga for over 16 years. He informed the Commission that he has just completed the off -site improvements for this particular subdivision. All conditions of approval have been met and felt that he has exceeded the conditions of approval. A couple of trees were saved that were designated by the arborist to be removed by moving the road north to allow for the trees. He saved the tree that was in fact designated to come out, but that he adjusted the road and saved the tree. At this particular time, he is under a program of irrigating the trees and taking care of them so that they have a better opportunity to survive. Additionally, he had some work that had to be done in the creek area. He worked with the City to minimize the impact of the work that was done in the creek. Also, improvement to the pedestrian easement and the pathway had been made to make it safer. As far as on site improvements on the property itself, on the back portions of the lot, five telephone poles were removed along with the high tension power lines so that the eye sore is removed. He requested approval of the.homes as submitted. The house on parcel 1 is on a 1.25 acre net parcel and the other house is on 1.5 net parcel. These particular houses exceed 5,800 square feet in coverage, but also includes the garage. He responded to the letters received from the neighbors that the homes on Durham Court were smaller. He commented that there are a number of larger homes there. Sometimes the square footage that were stated on the letters were actually larger if one was to incorporate and adjust them according. to the same criteria under what his property were under (adding the square footage of the living area and the garage). At this time, he has 12% percent lot coverage on parcel one and 15% lot coverage on parcel 2. Comparatively speaking, this was a transitional neighborhood and felt that he has worked as best that he could as far as making PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE -7- that transition. Primarily surrounding these parcels were larger parcels. In most part, he has kept under those parcels to the south, east, and west. Regarding the parcels to the north, comparatively speaking, he has less coverage than any of those parcels if the same criteria and ratio of the houses covered on the site (ranging from 15% to 22% that is without having any other coverage such as pools or secondary units). These particular houses are primarily one story (2/3 of the homes are one story and 1/3 of the homes. are two story). The 1/3 portion of the two story home has been located away from the neighbors to the north. The homes have been side stepped down the hill and tucked into the hill. The maximum height of the homes were 22 feet. The height of parcel 1 is approximately 15 to 22 feet less than the existing older house that is standing at this particular time. When you look at the plans as presented, it is difficult to get a picture as to what is to be built without reviewing a three dimensional drawing. It is not seen how the homes are to be modulated. In any one case, there is only 13 feet of building line that does not turn the corner or cut back in or out. A lot of work has been done to modulate the houses. The height has been kept done so that he tried the best that he could in considering the conditions of approval under the tentative map. He was under the requirements as stipulated in the conditions of approval. Additionally, the homes were oriented away and towards the private areas of this particularly lots, orienting them towards the creek where there is substantial screening and away from the properties that are on Durham Court. Glen Cahoon, G &G Design, 1585 The Alameda, San Jose, stated that he has read through the staff reports and commented that the reports were well prepared and well thought out and described the development. He discussed some of the architectural elements and design process on the two homes. Both of the sites are gentle, down hill slopes away from Douglass Lane. There ate a lot of mature natural trees existing that help to screen the entire property. The homes were set down the hill to help decrease the overall elevation of the entire height of the houses and how they would be viewed from the surrounding areas. The highest peaks where the height poles the Commission saw on the site were well under the. adjacent tree lines through the existing mature trees and the trees' canopies camouflage the backdrop of the design of these homes. The floor plan and the flow of the design are designed to step down and follow a natural contour so that the homes are semi split level with a couple of sections in both areas of two story homes splitting. On parcel 1, the two story element is about 25 percent of the overall floor area. The views of all of these homes either face the bedrooms, living room, family room and are either going out to the back in the private areas of the deck and patio or up to Douglass Lane. That allows for more privacy within the area and provides for privacy for the neighbors. Mr. Cahoon addressed the architectural styles of the homes. The integrity of the design of the house is carried out throughout all four sides. There is use of a lot of modulation both front and back of the house. Also, there is stepping of the roof line. Commissioner Caldwell suggested that Mr. Cahoon share his overhead so that everyone is able to see them and comment on them. Mr. Cahoon responded to comments and concerns expressed by the Commission. Regarding the oak tree referred to by Commissioner Caldwell, he stated that the canopy was PLANNING COMMISorON MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE -8- larger than what is depicted on the plans. However, that is the location of the oak tree and is well within the riparian easement and located away from development. As discussed with staff, he talked particularly about the grading. He felt that the existing vegetation and trees are a little further away than where the easement line is. It is a little further down the hill. He felt that gentle grading in the area could be performed without disrupting any of the vegetation or anything within that area. If the gentle grading did not feel comfortable to the Commission, a three to four foot high retaining wall could be installed and build up to it. Also, there was concern expressed regarding drainage coming off of the road. The length of the driveway is proposed to be a gentle slope coming down the property. There were two ways to mitigate this concern. Staff has indicated that one way would be to use a non - pervious coverage which could be accomplished easily by utilizing a turf block or grass seed. An alternative solution would be to collect all the water in a drain and take it up to a different location (take it away from where the riparian easement is located). He informed the Commission that the color to be utilized are those depicted on the color board. He displayed a transparency of an aerial view showing what is actually developed in the . area. It shows the relationship of the existing homes, sizes and surrounding areas. The one thing that makes this site so unique and special is all of the existing vegetation and trees that help screen, shelter the homes, and maintain privacy as well as views. It also protects it from any of the neighbors and gives it an excellent backdrop.- , He addressed the size of the homes in the surrounding area. He stated that the neighbors to the north on Durham Court have two story and one story homes. He felt that the use of zoning as one acre home sites would be developed to comparable size homes in the area and makes for an excellent transition between the smaller homes on the half acre smaller lots to the larger homes on one acre lots. He depicted the corners of the homes on parcels 1 and 2 as requested by Commissioner Caldwell. Commissioner Kaplan questioned the distance in feet to separate the homes. Mr. Cahoon responded that between the two units, there is approximately 50 feet of separation between the two homes and that they would not be crammed up against one another. Commissioner Caldwell questioned if there were buyers for the proposed homes and questioned why there were no landscape plans associated with the design of the homes. It 'has to do with not only the privacy issue with respect to neighbors but also with respect to the comments that were made. There is additional impervious coverage that comes along with landscaping plans that individuals add to their site (e.g., pools, patios, etc.). She questioned the status of the landscape plans. Mr. Cahoon responded that there is interest in both of the homes proposed. Regarding Commissioner Caldwell's question regrading lack of landscape plan submittal, it is always best to allow the buyers for the site to work out landscaping design for the lot. Kathleen Amezcua, 14110 Shadow Oaks Way, stated that she appreciated that the Commission was addressing the concerns expressed by the adjacent residents. Comments were made by the applicant and the designer regarding transitional zoning. The area was more a rural neighborhood. The proposed homes were very large, bulky, formal hard and are not in any way compatible with the gentle rural nature of the site. She felt that the existing neighborhood had a different character and the existing residents live in this area PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE -9- because of the different character. What is likely to happen is that several homeowners will want to remodel there homes and would be influenced by the architecture of these homes (the design of these homes would creep down and impact the neighborhood). The brochure produced to help sell the property stipulate that the homes provide a pastoral view of Saratoga while providing the perfect site for a home of the future. She felt that the applicant was going to destroy the pastoral view. She recommended that the homes be designed to be in tune with the existing homes. Robert. Woolsey; 19952 Durham Court, noted that he sent a letter . to the Commission addressing his concern. He stated his opposition to the approval of the design review findings. When he first reviewed the plans, he requested that Planner Walgren provide .him with addresses of the homes which were built by Mr. Roberts and homes that were designed by his architect. He was provided with a list of addresses by staff. He went to view the homes that were built by Mr. Roberts. The homes he visited that were built by Mr. Roberts were in keeping of their neighborhood and had a good feel for the neighborhood in which they were built. He then asked staff of those homes that Mr. Roberts built and the architect designed, which home most resembled the homes proposed on Douglass Lane. Planner Walgren gave the address of the home built on 22068 Villa Oak Lane, off of Mt. Eden Road. Mr. Woolsey furnished the Commission with photographs taken of the homes he visited. He felt that the homes were well over 5,000 square feet. The home was a large and massive home. In reviewing the design review criteria, he could not see how these homes would minimize the deception of bulk and height. He did not feel that the proposed homes would be an integral part of the environment. He stated that his family is an active one and spends a lot of time in their back yard. He would be looking up at the southwestern direction, directly at the path of these two homes. From his vantage point, he did not believe that he would be seeing two distinct homes. He will see a barrier of massive wall extending from the south to the far north, a continuance of two homes. He will have a perception of seeing one large wall home from his backyard. He would be living in his present home for another 25 or 30 years. He would not be happy in looking at that abomination for a long time. He would like to see Mr. Roberts and his architect design a home far more compatible in feel with the surrounding neighborhood. He questioned why at this point in time when Mr. Roberts has shown that he is a responsible builder in the past, building homes that are in keeping with the existing homes in the neighborhood, that he has chosen at this point in time to build two homes that are not compatible with the feel and style. of the adjacent neighborhood. Ming -Ching Tang, 14322 Douglass Lane, addressing parcel 1, commented that his concerns were that of bulk and height. In looking out his bedroom window, he saw the height pole representing the highest point of the home. When the home is completed, it will create a big change in what his view will be. Secondly, the home would be moved down and further block his view and several trees would be removed from the tree line mentioned by the architect. He also expressed concern with the grading. The nearest point of grading will be five feet from the property line, approximately fifteen feet. from his existing home. He has two young children, ages 1 and 3. He expressed concern regarding the security which will be in place with construction. He is currently suffering with construction noise and expressed concern for the safety of his children. Regarding the road improvement; PG &E PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 10 - is trenching less than five feet from the existing pine tree. He expressed concern regarding construction work impacting the integrity of his home. He pointed out that the compaction of the primary road is a sharp 90 degree angle. He was not aware of this and questioned if it could be corrected. John Teter, 19931 Durham Court, shared photos with the Commission which depict the style of his home as well as the adjacent homes. He informed the Commission that he currently resides in the old Douglass Home. He commented that the proposed homes are to be accessed from Douglass Lane and should be considered as part of the Douglass Lane /Durham Court neighborhood or the Douglass Lane /Durham Court /Shadow Oaks neighborhood. He requested that the homes be kept in character with those established in the neighborhood. New development should be required to maintain the character and nature of , a neighborhood and should not establish the character and nature of the neighborhood. The proposed structures are unprecedent in size, bulk and trenching and do not fit in with the existing nature and character of the neighborhood. The homes have been placed down hill to reduce their apparent bulk which is good in one direction but bad in another direction. If a home is allowed to be built with this dimension in the neighborhood, others of similar bulk and size would be built in the present open space. The only other significant sized structure noted was the house on the hill that is the residence of the Seagraves and should not be used as a comparison. He stated his appreciation of the efforts made to enhance the neighborhood and the improvements of the pedestrian easements and respecting the open space to remain unbuilt. He welcomes the new homes, but requested that they be kept to a style and character to the existing nature of the neighborhood. He submitted a letter to the Commission from Bob and Mary Lohr, 14300 Douglass Lane. Planner Walgren read the letter from Mr. and Mrs. Lohr. The letter mentions that they were unable to attend the meeting and wished to make their views known to the members of the Planning Commission. They strongly felt that the proposed homes were not in keeping with the neighborhood. As proposed, these homes were twice the size of existing homes. There is not a single home in the neighborhood that one might call similar in style or character. They believed the design. should not be approved and urged the builder to redesign the homes to be compatible with the neighborhood. Jeanne Johnston, 14210 Douglass Lane, informed the Commission that she has lived in this home for the past 31 years. She has great pride and ownership of the neighborhood. She addressed the two parcels that Mr. Roberts was designating as part of Douglass Lane. Douglass Lane is split in two with Wild Cat Creek going through it. She did not feel that these homes belonged in her end of Douglass Lane. She felt that the proposed homes belonged with those of the Little Sisters of Mercy parcels. She, concurred. that the existing homes did not fit with the home proposed because the proposed homes were much too ornate, much too large and much too bulky. They do not go with the rural atmosphere. Along Douglass Lane, you see many homes that do not have lawns and have well maintained orchards. She suggested that Mr. Roberts rethink his plans and get more in keeping with the average home of 2,800 square feet with the largest home being 3,300 square feet with two car garages. Hers is one of few that have a separate garage. Most other garages are attached just as they will be in the plans as proposed by Mr. Roberts. The homes on the east side of Douglass Lane are half acre lots. On the west side of Douglass PLANNING COMMISbtON MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 11 - Lane are 50 foot lots that are quite deep (100 or 200 feet deep). The existing homes are very old and the existing residents do not make moves easily. She does not want this type of development because it is not the neighborhood style. The residents request that the Commission rethink staffs recommendation on these homes. She commented that the oak tree (NC2) would need to be, removed and replaced to accommodate the home. It takes five years at a minimum for an oak tree to die. She suggested that these requests be placed on hold for a while and have Mr. Roberts'rethink his proposal. The existing residents would be most grateful. Shanta Loomer, 19974 Durham Court, resides next door to. Mr. Woolsey, provided the Commission with photographs representing the views from her backyard. She stated that she had no objections to homes being built. However, she expressed concern with the height of the homes from her backyard. She requested that the proposed homes be minimized and in keeping with the compatibility *of the neighborhood as stated by previous speakers. She informed the Commission that when she had her home built, she was not permitted to build a two story home because she was not adjacent to two story homes. She did not know how the homes would enhance the value of her home. Mr. Roberts stated his appreciation of the comments expressed. He felt that -a three- dimensional drawing may have helped the residents to understand what was being proposed. He did not know if you could isolate and make a case to the fact that these parcels are only part of the Durham Court neighborhood. He also added that a number of speakers tonight are really not impacted as far as their own particular homes are concerned and are not adjacent to this particular subdivision. The statement of homogeneity and ranch style homes on Durham Court is not necessarily true. There exists a number of different style homes. Some of which back up to these parcels. One being a French Normandy, the one across the street is a standard two story and the one in the corner is also a French Normandy. He understands that any type of new development on a site that is used to being seen as open space, may be disappointing to see disappear. Any type of home whether they are as large as these homes or not, will be of some impact. He worked hard to come up with these designs to minimize the impact of the homes on the lots. He stated the he offered to show Mr. Teter some of the other homes that he built that were much larger that were more fitting with an environment of an area that he built adjacent to 10,000 square foot lots that had 2,400 square foot homes on it. He also had half acre sites.and ended up placing 3,500 square foot homes on it. It had a fair amount of screening and it worked. As far as the Durham Court neighbors that are immediately adjacent to him, he stated his willingness to work with the Planning Commission as well as the neighbors to provide. the type of screening that they would want to see. He did not feel that these particular homes were massive nor bulky. Time and thought was put into the design of the homes. He understood that this was a sensitive area and felt that the concerns have been addressed. Commissioner Caldwell questioned the city arborist regarding parcel 1. There exists a 9 inch DBH oak tree that is proposed for removal to accommodate construction of the property. Staff has suggested to the Commission that it was appropriate for transplanting. She questioned the likelihood of success for transplanting the tree and the different ways of handling the situation if the tree does not make it. Mr. Coate responded that it was PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 12, - within the acceptable size for transplanting if it is done by hand boxing or by using a Big John tree mover which digs an eight foot ball. Anything smaller than that would not be worth doing. If the tree's structure is not perfect, the city might be better off to allow its removal and replacement by the appropriate number of fairly large replacement trees. A nine inch diameter tree will probably have a 75 -80 percent chance of good landscape growth if properly transplanted. But there is always a chance that it would not grow well: In which case, the Commission should require assurance that the transplanting takes hold. The Commission will know if the tree is not doing what it should within three full growing seasons. Commissioner Caldwell questioned if Mr. Coate had the opportunity to review any of the_ trees on that parcel. Mr. Coate stated that on parcel 2, if a protective fence along the bottom part of the property.was installed, he could not find any trees that would be affected. Commissioner Caldwell commented that the applicant is proposing grading within the open space easement. They would need to take down that protective fence to accomplish that. She expressed concern regrading the tree and recommended additional review by Mr. Coate because it would be within the dripline of the tree. Mr. Coate stated that he would look at the plans more closely but grading should not occur within the dripline. Commissioner Kaplan questioned if there was to be 25% to 30% chance that the transplanted tree would not make it, she was trying to figure out which tree on the chart it was and its replacement value and how many trees would it take to replace it. Mr. Coate stated that he would need to perform the mathematics to determine that. Planner Walgren noted that the tree under discussion was tree number 23. Mr. Coate equated the value as being $1,030 and that the value was low because the tree was of rather poor structure, but its health was reasonably good. Mr. Coate informed Commissioner Kaplan that if she looked at the chart at the upper corner, it would show her what it converts to (somewhere between 24 and 36 inch boxed trees). Commissioner Kaplan stated that she and Mr. Coate have discussed on other occasions on other properties as to whether or not the City does best at this point to say to the developer to put some new healthy trees. Mr. Coate responded that since the existing tree is not a very well formed tree, you are transplanting a tree that is not well structured any how. He felt that it would be a benefit to request the replacement tree. If the tree was a perfect specimen, he would recommend the opposite. Mr. Roberts stated that he had an opportunity to take a look at the pictures circulated and hoped that the Commission discounts those pictures as far as his project was concerned because he did not feel that they were representative at all. Commissioner Kaplan questioned if Mr. Roberts was willing to address the issue of the replacement trees. Mr. Roberts stated that he did not have a problem. with the recommendation. COMMISSIONERS CALDWELL /KAPLAN MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AGENDA ITEMS 2 AND 3 AT 9:04 P.M. THE MOTION CARRIED 3 -0 (CHAIRMAN ASFOUR ABSENT). PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 13 - THE COMMISSION RECESSED AT 9:05 P.M. THE COMMISSION RECONVENED AT 9:18 P.M. _ Commissioner Kaplan thanked staff for having the height pole and the corner markings outlining the homes so that the Commission could get a good view of what can be seen from the land use visit. Other than the corrections about modification to the resolution, she made some comments about what was heard tonight. She appreciated the fact the neighbors have expressed their feelings. The Commission was here to hear concerns during this process. On the other hand, it is not a majority vote situation and that the Commission needs to review other issues, although, the speakers do bring to the Commission's attention critical concerns. She, at one time, opened her shade to look out into her view shed and saw something that she had never seen before or even anticipated and called the Building Department to inquire who put a hotel out there. She stated that it was a home being built that seemed very large, but there were no trees. Several years later; you. don't see the house because the trees have taken care of it. It has to look different and it has to look dramatic because it is a change from nothing to something. Her concern when visiting the Woolsey .property is what he would be seeing. He would, in fact, be seeing houses. There is no way to get around it because something will be built on it. The neighbors raised the issue of how the City allows change. We are in a society that is constantly evolving. Neighborhoods change. Additions are allowed because people need more room and want .to upgrade their homes. So we really can't say that every single house that goes into a neighborhood has to look like every other house. She felt that the neighbors have to realize that there are laws which permits a builder to make bigger houses. That is why the codes and the design review process have been written to take into account the fact that change will be coming and to keep it within certain parameters. .With that in mind, she could not say that she objects to the houses and cannot find any grounds to ask the developer to go back and redesign the houses. She would like to see the screen planting and commented that Mr. Roberts has addressed that by stating that he would install screen planting because on parcel 1, with the removal of the trees slated for removal, there is going to be a visual hole because the thickness of canopy will be gone. Something should be installed to replace the trees. She was inclined to go along with Mr. Coate and ask that the tree be replaced with boxed trees. Commissioner Caldwell discussed the issues that she felt were most important in her point of view and responded to some of the comments made by Commissioner Kaplan. There were a few things with respect to these two parcels that she felt should be non - negotiable from the City's stand point. One being that in situations where we have infill development, we have always required at least a conceptual or initial landscaping plans. We do not have that in this instance. While she understands Commissioner Kaplan's concern with screening because she shares that concern, she recognized that the Design Review Handbook tells them that they should not rely on the screening alone to resolve design or privacy issues that may arise. But she did think that landscape plans were needed to evaluate the application. That would tell them where the replacement trees are going to be located. It would give the neighbors a better idea of what kind of screening would be provided to them, we would be clear on whether or not the significant trees on the property are going to be impacted in any way from the landscaping, etc. The second thing that she felt was non - negotiable was the replacement of tree no. 23. With Mr. Coate's input about needing to weigh . the trees PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 14 - growing seasons to see whether or not the transplanting was successful and given staff s concerns about being able to successfully monitor that, and given -the structure of the tree, she did think that providing for replacement of the tree was appropriate in this case. Thirdly, with respect to parcel number 2, she felt that the riparian corridor in the open space easement that was created at the subdivision level should be held in its natural state and that it is inappropriate to permit, grading in that area, particularly with the proximity of the ordinance sized . oak tree to the proposed grading. She suggested that when this application does go forward, that the retaining wall be selected as the appropriate remedy to the drainage problem and that the turf block solution be chosen for the driveway rather than collecting drainage off the driveway and diverting it somewhere else or into the creek. She addressed the whole issue of this neighborhood and the infill development situation. She agreed with many of the statements made this evening that the relevant neighborhood for this area is the Shadow Oaks /Douglass Lane area. She felt that the neighbors identified the major issues with respect to neighborhood compatibility which is a. finding that needs to be made. She wanted to break this into a few categories. She recognized that this is the size of many of the lots that are located along Durham Court and Douglass Lane. However, even in cases where we have had significantly different sized lots and infill property development such as on Oahu Lane off of Wendy Lane off of Allendale, and the Ravenwood Drive area off of Quito Road where-the lots were large, the Commission worked hard to keep the size of the homes and the design of the homes much in keeping with the existing. character of the neighborhood as possible. In the case in the Oahu Lane homes, that meant continuing the application, working with the applicant's architect to bring the homes more into character with the neighbors and working on a landscape plan to address privacy and view concerns that were raised. In the case of the Ravenwood homes, the Commission was very aggressive at the subdivision level and made it very explicit as to the design that was appropriate for the area. Her point being was that the Commission has been conscientious as a, community in addressing infill because it is a very sensitive issue. She thought that the statement that this is a transitional neighborhood. could be made perhaps for every neighborhood in Saratoga. But it does not mean that we turn the other way on design issues and on Bulk issues. For her, the major bulk concern was on the rear elevation of the homes, not so much the front elevation. For one, the rear elevations have the most impact on the immediate neighbors. She was particularly concerned with the continuous structure effect that is going to occur with the proposed location of these homes. In looking from the Woolsey property and from what she could tell from the Loomer property, looking up with the construction tape out there and the height pole, there is going to be a very small gap. That 50 or 60 foot gap that one recognizes when you are right there where the structures are going to be located is significantly reduced as you move away from the property. The elevation change where the parcels are located and the structures are proposed versus the elevations of the neighbors that are much heavily impacted are quite different. So you do have a sense of greater height. One suggestion she had for the applicant was that he demonstrate that he accomplished some modulation with the front of the homes, but there is not much modulation in the back of the homes. She did not think that he recognized the serious issue of a continuous large structure for these back yard neighbors. Perhaps moving the home on parcel 1 closer to the front of the property would help address that problem. She was reticent to accept the postulation that all homes that will be built in the future in the surrounding open spaces are going to be similar to this one. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 27, 1994 PAGE - 15 - That is why there is a Planning Commission to recognize the character of the neighborhood and to recognize that the Design Review findings acknowledge the importance of the existing character of a neighborhood. The Commission was not here to embrace what the future of a neighborhood might be but to stand up for what a neighborhood is and what its character is. Embracing development that is appropriate and that respects the existing character. It may be appropriate to require a two car and not a three car garage. The Commission has done that elsewhere with infill development. She did feel that the neighbors had a good point with respect to the bulk and compatibility issues. Vice - chairman Murakami appreciated the comments expressed by the neighbors. The comments helped to give the Commission a clear view of what is going on. He felt that staff and the applicant have done a very good job in trying to mitigate some of the concerns. At his site visit of Durham Court, his only. objection was that you can see that the way the design from the rear of parcel 2 would be that -of a bulky -type appearance and could see why the neighbors would be concerned. It was very helpful to have staff utilize the height poles because it gave the Commission a good idea of what the actual outline of the home would look like. He felt that it would have been nice to have a three dimensional type model to view to get a better perspective to mitigate some of the fears that the neighbors have voiced. He would like to see lot number 1, as far as the rear view, be softened. Maybe something can be done to address the bulky issue and some of the design problems that the neighbors have voiced. He suggested that there be a continuance on these items. Commissioner Caldwell questioned Vice - chairman Murakami's stand on other issues (e.g. landscape plans, requirement of replacement trees versus transplanting of the trees, grading in the easement). Vice- chairman Murakami responded that he could see that with the neighbors input, it would be good to view landscape plans. It would be beneficial to have conceptual landscape plans in a design phase so that the Commission can make a judgement on them. He stated that he was satisfied with the arborist report and that if Mr. Coate felt that the survival percentage was very high, a requirement of some sort of a maintenance bond should be required to be included in the resolution. He agreed with Commissioner Caldwell that the riparian corridor should be considered very carefully before anything is done. Commissioner Kaplan commented that in response to moving the house of the first lot, you would run into a problem. Looking at the natural grade, if you move the house closer to the footprint of the existing house that is going to be demolished, you bring it higher on the terrain. Either you will have to do more cut to set a house in there that will keep the height to the level that the Commission is speaking of. Mr. Tang will have a greater impact from his window. Anything that you -put on those lots will impact the lower level of Mr. Woolsey's view whether or not the builder can reduce the size of the home in square footage on lot 1. She was concerned that if the Commission tells the applicant to go back and move the home up the hill, the Commission will be in a situation where we have something looming even larger, visually from below. She supported the replacement trees after hearing Mr. Coate's comments CORRESPONDENCE 19952 Durham Ct Saratoga October 27, 1994 Saratoga City Council City of Saratoga, 13777 Fruitvale Ave. Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Mayor and City Council Members, We are concerned that the two houses proposed for lots 14350 and 14360 Douglass Lane are not compatible in size and style with the existing homes. We want to maintain the rural character and atmosphere of this long established neighborhood. The houses as proposed at 5400 and 5600 square feet are massive and bulky in comparison with other homes in the neighborhood. We do not believe these houses meet the intent of the Design Review Criteria, :section 15- 45.080. This opinion is shared by the forty seven neighbors who signed the attached petition. In our appeal letter dated September 29, 1994, item #2 requests changes to soften the building. R &Z Development is proposing some changes to the rear elevation of the house on parcel #1. This part of the house overlooks our backyard and we are concerned about our privacy if there is a balcony. However, the issue of bulk and mass remains. We want to draw your attention on parcel 1 to the left side elevation, and on parcel 2 to both the rear elevation and left side elevation. We strongly request design changes to reduce the bulk in these areas. The developer has offered to work with the neighborhood on color and landscaping. We suggest a landscaping bond to insure that the landscaping is well maintained until established. These changes need to be finalized and. made a condition of approval. We again ask for a work session -with the planning staff, the developer and the neighbors. We think this would be the most productive way to make progress on these issues. We invite all of you to visit our back yard to review the proposed placement of .these houses. Please feel free to contact us at any time, 867 -2484.

But it's part of the job. "These are people with money, they are educated and they have resources," Williams said of his experience in Woodside. "They can hire high - powered attorneys and architects and they're used to getting their way. They've done much bigger deals than build a house and they expect to be able to do what they want to do." Palo Alto traditionally has been a favorite place of builders and: architects who want to do something unusual. But this ac- ceptance of diversity can create problems. When developers and builders buy small, older homes and then tear them down to con- struct large homes, many neigh- bors are unhappy, in spite of the argument that property values will increase. Neighborhood landmark One recently finished Palo Alto home — built after the existing older house with its expansive porches and tennis courts was torn down — is commonly re- ferred to as "the Treasury Build- ing" by unhappy neighbors who feel it looms over their smaller, more modest houses. Another developer -built home within several blocks was given the name "Tara" after "Gone ` With the Wind," a statement of neighbors' discomfort with its size.

One recent hand - painted proclamation was tacked to the cyclone fence of an old Palo Alto "knockdown." It read: "Coming soon to your neighbor- hood: another big ugly house." "Otherwise enlightened people are willing to trample on others and give up their rights on this issue," Meyers said. "In the long run, I think it's terrible for soci- ety and the economy." Builders say that as property values regain strength in the Bay Area, the desire to build promi- nent custom homes is likely to grow. To deal with that pressure and with the increasingly diffi- cult task of setting community standards, city planning depart- ments are considering several new tactics. In Fremont, Johnson has con- tracted with a computer imaging consulting service to graphically evaluate individual cases. The company measures the lot and creates a computer image of how the proposed house will sit on the site, so planners can determine whether the project should be ap- proved. New restrictions Los Altos Hills is adding yet another restriction to its guide- lines this year — a reduced color palette for would -be home build- ers that closely matches that of Los Gatos. No more light colors on home exteriors; soon only dark colors will be acceptable. "We want the statement to be the lot, not the house," Niles said of the change. Los Gatos moved to a dark -col- ors -only policy for hillside homes after realizing its previous errors, said senior planner Donald Ross. "If you look up Blossom Hill you can see where a lot of mistakes have been made," he said. Not all of those who want to build their dream homes are tak- ing the increasing restrictions in stride. Some have filed lawsuits that have led to settlements al- lowing them more freedom. "When someone takes legal ac- tion against us (for not allowing them to build what they want) it's human nature to try to set- tle," Woodside's Williams said. What happened to Meyers, Niles said, was a combination of bad'luck and the fact that the planning staff was undergoing changes. "He really had an unfor- tunate situation," she said. "I hate to see all the restric- tions that are taking away our freedom of choice," said builder Owen. "They've become a little too monochromatic in their lim- its." As an afterthought, he add- ed: "I suppose they're just trying to do their job."

We were also able to expand on explanations of some misconceptions and'practical matters of construction. In attendance for the neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey, Dr. Loomer, Dr. Lohr, Mr. Tang, Mrs. Johnston, and Mr. Teter. The home for Lot 1 ( #94 -024, 14350 Douglass Lane) was the focal point of our conversation since it is most near the neighbors to the north and the one on which the neighbors concentrated. We brought to the meeting a revised rear elevation of Lot 1 that further articulated the modulation of the rear of the house and its horizontal plane. This was done by adding an arbor structure together with a deck along the northerly end; changing window sizes; adding a planter to the deck area to provide an additional break; and expanding the rear deck along the southerly end of the house. During discussions; we agreed to eliminate the deck at the northerly end in the interest of privacy. A copy of the revised plan is included for your review. We then discussed the matter of landscaping and again offered to consider the neighbors' input in modifying types of trees and placement plus offering installation of a few more trees on the Woolsey and Loomer properties that would be of a fast growing nature. These trees could be removed at such time as they might interfere with view lines while giving the trees on our sites an opportunity to mature in accordance with goals to provide BUS: 408-252-1101 • FAX: 408-252-5435 1601 S.

We further offered the idea of a solid good neighbor fence, where allowed, along the Woolsey and Loomer property line. It is our intent to revise the types of trees and reconsider their placement, and submit the revision for staff and neighbor review prior to planning clearance. The final area of discussion had to do with color choice of the homes. We agreed to tone down the colors of the homes and are. preparing revised color selections for staff and neighbor review. However, since color is such a. personal choice, we would like to reserve the final determination for colors. It is our intent to have this matter clarified prior to plannning clearance as well. In conclusion, it was our understanding that the above measures helped to alleviate many of their concerns. We respectfully request that the Council ratify the approval of these design review applications previously granted by the Planning Commission. We are willing to incorporate the measures noted in this letter into that approval. Thank you again for your consideration. S ce ly, N�a oberts b Encl. D E V E L O P M E N T October 24, 1994 SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL CITY OF. SARATOGA 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 Re: Woolsey Appeal Reply Design Review Applications #94 -024 & #94 -025 14350 and 14360 Douglass Lane Honorable Mayor Burger and Members of the City Council: On September 14, 1994, the Planning Commission approved the above referenced design review applications for two new homes on a private cul -de -sac at the end of Douglass Lane. Two public hearings were held on this matter, and the applications were supported by City staff. On September 29, the Woolseys filed their appeal. Please excuse the length of this reply to the Woolsey's appeal, but the time and effort spent on responsibly developing the properties has created somewhat of a history. From the beginning of development we have worked hard to be sensitive to the .sites and have been successful in cleaning them up; providing a safer access to the area, saving trees that were scheduled to be removed; and significantly reducing the final amount of work that was required to be done adjacent to the bridge in Wildcat Creek. The architectural design of the homes followed all ordinances of the City codes as well as the conditions of the tentative map. We either met or were under size, setback, height, and coverage allowances, and demonstrated, upon direction by the Planning Commission in response to comments by the neighbors, that any per- ception of bulk or mass was effectively softened through use of horizontal modulation of building lines, low and deep overhangs, low roof line, and the use of landscaping treatments. The sites are approximately 1.5 acres each and are less in coverage (15% and 12% respectively where 45% is allowed) than all surrounding properties, with, perhaps, the exception of the old Goodrich estate. Homes as large, or larger, exist on one or more acres to the south, west, and east of our properties, while the few adjacent homes to the north are situated on one -half acre sites with much more of a coverage ratio. The homes are well designed and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood considering the diversity that exists, especially to the north, and are one story structures in the front with 100' and 70' foot front yard setbacks on a private street. For Lot 1, BUS: 408-252-1101 • FAX: 408-252-5435 1601 S. Saratoga - Sunnyvale Road • Suite 101 • Cupertino, California 95014 CITY COUNCIL OF SARATOGA October 24, 1994 Page 2 approximately 25% of the home has a two story element in the rear that is tucked into the slope with a rising grade. Both plans are designed to make the most efficient use of the land and are situated to be as unintrusive as possible when considering the orientation of adjacent homes. Additionally, the two story portions are positioned away from any potential lines of sight that may exist toward the tree lines and mountains. No prohibitions were made with regard to two story homes at tentative map approval since there are two story homes in the neighborhood and the fact that the sites are large and well screened with respect to the topography and an abundance of mature trees. Both homes' roof lines are well below the height limitations and well below the distant tree lines and mountain ridge. As a matter of fact, the roof line for the new home on Lot 1 is approximately 15' below that of the older existing house. Our landscaping plan for the sites provides for twice as many trees for purposes of screening as is required by the City's guidelines. This is in addition to the maturity of existing trees, bushes, and other vegatation which is significant. We have always remained willing to continue to work with the neighbors to determine specific types of trees and their placement. With respect to the colors of the homes, this is another area in which we have always been agreeable to using alternative colors similar to those recommended by the neighbors. As far as future structures or improvements are concerned, our sites would be sub- ject to the same City ordinances as neighboring properties. And, finally, to address the balance of the concerns of the Woolsey's appeal, we have work hard to address those issues associated with the immediately adjacent neighbors. This has been done in conjuction with direction from the Planning Com- mission and staff. I have always been available to meet with the neighbors, have written letters and made telephone calls to the closest neighbors concerning the homes, and subsequent to Planning Commission approval again offered to work with them further on matters of concern. I remain willing to do so. . CITY COUNCIL OF SARATOGA October 24, 1994 Page 3 Thank you for your consideration.

Planning Commission City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 19952 Durham Court Saratoga, CA 95070 September 8, 1994 Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Commission: At the Planning Commission meeting of July 27, 1994, we expressed our concern about the two houses to be built at 14350 and 14360 Douglass. Lane. We would like to again express our concerns, and those of our neighbors, regarding the compatibility of these structures with an existing and mature neighborhood. Our neighborhood consists of homes which are considerably smaller, and to be more compatible, these new houses should be reduced in size and bulk. They are designed for the maximum size permitted by ordinance. Our first request is to reduce their square footage, even though they do meet your ordinance. Secondly, to address the design issues and appearance of the proposed structures, we employed a local architect to review the plans. As viewed from our rear yard, and those of our immediate neighbors, the new structures are very overpowering as they appear as two stories.. The facade changes, which the architect developed, are outlined in the attached document. We ask you to carefully consider all of the points covered in this document. At this time the landscaping plans are not available for our review as stated previously by the developer. We wish to emphasize that the selection and location of trees needs careful planning and design., Planting the incorrect tree in the wrong place will present a problem in the future by blocking our view of the hillsides. Finally, future structures such as cabanas, guest houses, pools, tennis courts, decking, and patios will have a visual and acoustic. impact on the immediate neighbors. The location and size of these potiental structures should be designated now when these houses are being considered by the Planning Commission. Since the two houses, as submitted, are almost the maximum square footage allowed, any future square footage with accessory buildings must be considered as a variance. Anyone who purchases these homes has the right to know what they can do with their property.that will be permitted by the City of Saratoga. We only wish to minimize the intrusion of any future building on the neighborhood, and to protect our privacy, and that of the immediate neighbors. We respectfully request that, prior Planning Commission meet at a Work designers, and the neighborhood to for your consideration.. Sincerely, L Robert Woolsey to any final approval, the Session with the developers, their discuss these houses. Thank you Annette Woolsey PRELIMINARY REPORT OF DESIGN OF RESIDENCES LOTS NO. 1 AND MO. 2 14350 AND 14360 DOUGLASS LANE, SARATOGA, CA- Date:. September 1, 1994 The following information is presented as possible changes to the appearance of the design for these homes after reading the report and reviewing the application drawings. Lot No. 1 Size of Residence - 5,638 sq.ft. proposed ,5,753 sq.ft. allowable Site Slope - 130 Appearance - This residence is directly above the Robert Woolsey residence and will be quite visible. The rear (east) elevation is two (2) story with the bedrooms below the main floor. There is a bay window at the first floor line that projects and cantilevers beyond the exterior wall with the gutter as the only overhang at the flat wall of.-the bay. The roof and..gutter, extend past the bay without extending to follow the bay wall lines. The lower floor is approximately 36" above the finished grade with no wide landing or deck. The stairs from the upper patio float infront of one of the sliding doors from a bedroom. The side (north) elevation around the corner, which is also visible from the Woolsey residence and adjacent neighbors is a very plain, two (2) story elevation. The height and bulk appear to be very severe from that corner with the height being accentuated because of the finished grade difference from the lower floor. Recommendations - Provide a horizontal structure at the first floor at the east /north sides to soften the two story height and lessen the impact of the cantelivered bay window. This structure could be an arbor the depth of the landing at the patio stairs. It would also offer weather protection to the sliding doors. Extend the roof and gutter at the bay window to follow the overhang depth around the bay. Add wider deck or patio at the approximate lower floor to compliment the arbor, and to raise the finish grade height to lessen the impact of the overall height. Landscaping - Provide three (3) or four (4) 24" boxed trees near the Woolsey property line to soften the impact of the new residence. Preliminary Report - Douglass Lane Residence Design September 1, 1994 - Page 2 Color - As an established neighborhood, any infill or change of buildings /landscaping, has an impact to the people living is the area. The suggested colors, as off - white, will be very bright from the east and south for the neighborhood. The color given by the applicants as "graystone" as the wall colors would soften the impact. Future Structures - Review areas and location of pools, cabanas, decks, patios, etc. for impact on existing neighbors privacy and appearance. Provide in the conditions the size and locations that could be used by owners when residences are occupied. Lot No. 2: Size of Residence - 5,434 sq.ft. proposed .5,772 sq.ft. allowable Site Slope - 16% Appearance - Many windows in Living Room, Master Bedroom, Master Bath Bay at rear and right side of residence. Building above grade approximately 24 ". Recommendations - Consider all of the recommendations of Lot No. l for color, landscaping, and future structures. 14300 Douglass Lane, Saratoga, CA 95070 867 -6409 July 27, 1994 Saratoga Planning Commission Saratoga, CA Dear Planning Members, Due to a recent knee surgery, I am unable to attend and speak at tonight's hearing for the two proposed new homes on Douglass Lane. However, I do wish to make our views known to the members of the Planning Commission. We strongly feel the proposed homes are not in keeping with the neighborhood. As proposed, these homes are twice the size of exiting homes in our neighborhood. There isn't one single home in our neighborhood one might call similar in style or character. We believe the design should not be approved and urge the builder to redesign their homes to be compatible with our neighborhood. Sinter y i � � J ob h Mar ohr S M July 27, 1994 To: Saratoga Planning Commission Subject: Roberts Development on- Douglass Lane Dear Commisioners: I am a resident on Douglass Lane, several doors down from the proposed development. I will be unable to attend this evening's meeting, but would appreciate your consideration of these comments. First let me say that we appreciate the city's efforts to maintain the pedestrian walkway which leads through this area. It has been in use by many including us for over 20 years, and indeed has been missed durning the construction period. My primary concerns are: I) The trees which have been established on this hill -- especially on parcel 1 -- form one of the last natural views on this street. This natural surrounding was one of our primary reasons for moving into this neighborhood. Subsequently many spacious homes have replaced the orchards and trees that first drew us here. The trees that are to be removed on parcel 1 include one very sizeable oak, and another that is to be transplanted. In general, oaks are not famous for transplanting well. And the larger of these represents perhaps 30 -50 years of growth. These'are irreplaceable, both as natural habitat and as native trees, and I believe they should be preserved as they are. Fast - growing screen trees provide some green, but they rarely have either the inherent beauty nor hardiness of our natives. Also, we have had the experience in this neighborhood of having builders put on the plan that trees would be planted as screens, but not DO this. Our true Natural landscape in Saratoga is vanishing in just this process. 2) The houses as planned appear to be extremenly large, presenting a very bulky presence, especially for those located directly below them. The new houses should be kept more comparable with others in the neighborhood. 3) I appreciate the city's establishment of a riparian easement. We regularly have seen foraging oppossums, racoons, - skunks, etc., all of whom are hard pressed to maintain a life in this area. The riparian right of way now established needs to be respected.

Z,4 j ell r/ July 26, 1994 Mr. James Walgren Associate Planner City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Ave. Saratoga, Ca 95070 Dear Mr. Walgren, Spencer Ozawa 19897 Douglass Ln Saratoga, Ca 95070 867 -6207 My name is Spencer Ozawa and I reside at 19897 Douglass Lane. I am writing you this letter concerning the two home subdivision being built on the other side of my property. I would attend the public hearing, but I have made previous plans and will be out of town on the date of the hearing. My concern is in regards to my privacy. My property sits on a flood plain and.therefore I was forced to build my home very close to the property line, which basically is the stream. Naturally, my preference for any homes built on the next property be set back as far as possible to insure maximum privacy for all parties. Unfortunately, other neighbors and the City of Saratoga prefer the home be built closer to the stream than my preference. I won't argue this point, but I do ask this: When the approval for the subdivision was granted a natural riparian corridor of sixty feet was established as the property setback. The argument by the neighbors was for a natural easement along the stream, one to protect natural vegetation and habitat to wildlife. As stated in Saratoga's definition of Riparian Corridor (15006.575) a "Riparian corridor means intermittent or peren- nial streams which include all native vegetation and wildlife habitat within the top of the band delineating the intermittent or perennial stream." Although I didn't argue for this reparian corridor, I now feel this is the greatest buffer for privacy for all parties concerned and I would like this condition to be spelled out in the approval of .a building permit. I've had a discussion with the developer and the City regarding the reparian corridor and everyone has a different interpretation. Some feel you just can't built anything in this corridor and others feel, as I do, that this vegetation must be left in it's natural state and that nothing can be built or removed from this corridor. If I am correct I would like this spelled out as a condition of the permit. If you have questions regarding this request please contact me after Aug 1, 1994. Thar)k you . Sincerely, July 22, 1994 Dear Neighbor, I'm sure you are aware of the proposed two new homes to be build at he end , of Douglas . s Lane. One home is for 5300 sq ft and the other home is for 5600 sq ft. Plans for the homes are now on view at the Saratoga Planning office. I hope you will take the time to look over the plans. The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing At 7:30 PM this Wednesday. This hearing is the design review before final approval to build is granted. This will be your chance to support the proposed plans as they currently exist or to voice any reservation or concerns. Sincerely, Robert Woolsey, 19952 Durham Ct 867-2484 % % :off < .77 1�7 Saratoga Planning Commission Saratoga, CA 95070, Dear Planning Commission Members, 19952 Durham Ct Saratoga, CA 95070 July 21, 1994 867 -2484 JUL 21 1994 F'LHlvlvllvu Utl-' T, I live with my wife and three sons at 19952 Durham Ct. Our property backs up to one of the parcels under development on Douglass Lane. We are the original owners having lived in this house for 17 years and hopefully with God's blessing for many more years. As with most residents of Saratoga, we love this community and enjoy living in the Douglass Ln/Durham Ct neighborhood. This is a special neighborhood. Not only because of the beauty of the area but for the sense of community. Each Labor Day there is a large block party which fosters good will and brings everyone together. I have. realized for many years. that the time would come when this property would be developed. My wife and I have no objections to the development. We only wish that the new homes maintain the character and integrity of the existing homes in our neighborhood. We don't believe these two new homes meet the design review criteria as listed in the Saratoga Zoning Ordinance, section 15- 45,080. Douglass Ln has many older homes on the west side of the street. Several of these . homes have recently been remolded. The remodeling was very much in keeping with the traditional appearance of the original home and other homes near by. The east side of Douglass Ln has homes going back to the 60's. These homes probably have a floor space around 2500 sq ft. Seventeen years ago homes on Durham Ct and two homes on Douglass Ln were developed, averaging in size from 2800 - 3300 sq ft. Within the last 8 years two additional home were developed averaging about 3200- 3600 sq ft. The style of the homes in our neighborhood do vary but they are primarily ranch in character. Most the homes seem to fit and don't appear out of place. The proposed homes will have a floor space of 5300 sq ft. This is almost twice the floor space of the typical home in this area. I can best describe the proposed homes as massive in size. I don't believe these very large homes are in keeping with the neighborhood. These homes are not "compatible in terms of bulk and height with (i) existing residential structures on adjacent lots and those within the immediate neighborhood ". These two new homes are just out of place with all existing homes. I don't believe it is possible to describe any of the homes in our neighborhood as having excessive bulk. But in relation to my home and all other homes adjacent to this property on Durham Ct and Douglass Ln, the proposed homes can only be seen as bulky. I find it hard to believe the developer made any attempt to "minimize the perception of excessive bulk" and made any attempt to integrate these homes into the natural environment. Our backyard faces south. We build our home to take advantage of the the low winter sun to help heat the house and in the summer to provide for pleasurable outdoor living. We enjoy a very beautiful view especially in the immediate direction of the proposed new homes. Again, I have no objection to the concept of building new homes on this property and I do understand that we cannot expect to keep this special view forever. From our patio area, as the homes are now planned, we will view a massive wall of stucco from north to south across the entire length of this property. One of my neighbors described it as a °Berlin Wall ". These homes, as planned, are so large and massive they will indeed cause unreasonable interference with the community viewshed of not only myself but of my immediate neighbors. I invite the planning commissioners to walk the entire length of Douglass Ln from Saratoga Ave and to walk Durham Ct. You are invited to my back yard to view the proposed placement of these homes and you will clearly see for yourself the impact and change these homes will make upon our general neighborhood and the impact on property owners adjacent to the subject property. In summary, I wish to see homes compatible with our neighborhood. Homes which are not so massive that they give the appearance of being excessively bulky. I wish to see homes which are an integral part of our neighborhood and homes we all can be proud of. These homes as now planned come closer to being an eye sore. Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: Design Review #94 -024 and #94 -025 Roberts; 14350 & 14360 Douglass Ln. (Lot 1 & 2) --------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- Background: These applications for Design Review approval to construct a 5,638 sq. ft. and a 5,434 sq. ft. two -story residence at the end of Douglass In. were first presented to the Planning Commission at the July 27, 1994 public hearing. Concerns were raised at that meeting by neighbors that the proposals were not compatible in terms of architectural style or building mass with the existing older homes within the area. Two of the three Planning Commissioners in attendance expressed similar concerns (minutes from the meeting -are attached). The item was continued to tonight's meeting with the following direction to the applicant: • Address the architectural style and massing incompatibility concerns raised by the neighbors and the Commission. • Prepare landscape plans showing the location of the required replacement trees. It was agreed that tree ##23, a Coast Live Oak, should be replaced and not transplanted. • The proposed contoured drainage grading within the open space of Parcel 2 should be eliminated. The concerns were primarily related to the new home for Parcel 1, but it was decided to continue both items to review them as a whole. Printed on recycled paper. Design Review #94 -024 and #94 -025 Roberts; 14350 & 14360 Douglass Ln. Page Two Resubmittal: The applicant's architects have now resubmitted plans which .eliminate the contour grading within the open space, incorporate a comprehensive landscape plan which provides planting greatly in excess of the Arborist's recommended replacement and a perspective drawing of the proposed new homes looking towards the site from the northeast corner of Lot 1. The floor plans and architectural elevations are unchanged. Robert and Annette Woolsey, neighbors whose. property abuts the northeast corner of Lot 1, have submitted a new letter expressing their continued concern over the size and style of the proposed homes. All previous written correspondence regarding these applications is also attached. Recommendation: Staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission in the reports presented at the July 27th public hearing was that the Design Review findings could be made to approve the projects. If the Planning Commission feels that the homes are incompatible with the older existing homes within this neighborhood in terms of style or massing, or that the homes would impose on neighbors privacy, solar accessibility or views, the Commission should consider one of the following: Direct the applicant to modify the plans accordingly. Since this item has been continued once already, this direction should be fairly explicit (e.g. reduce one, or both, of the houses by X sq. ft., design as single story, etc.). Or, if the applicant is'not amenable to significant changes, deny one, or both, of the applications based on an inability, to make the necessary Design Review findings. Attachments: 1.

The subject parcel is 1.25 net acres in size and is located within an R -1- 20,000 zoning district.

Left Side: 15 ft. The original 3.05 acre site was divided into two single - family building sites in March of 1993. Parcel 1 has a net site area of 1.25 acres and contains the original residence. The lower Parcel 2 is currently vacant and is 1.5 net acres in size. The private road right -of -way and the lower Santa Clara Valley Water District easement account for the difference in gross versus net site area. Though the existing residence was not listed on the City's Heritage Resource Inventory, staff routed the Tentative Parcel Map to the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) for review based on its age and potential historical significance. The HPC accepted the Map File No. DR -94 -024; 14.350 Douglass Lane with the condition that the home be placed on the Inventory and that any future modifications to the home be submitted for their review. The Inventory listing is a means to document the home and does not carry the preservation significance that a Heritage Resource. Designation would. The HPC did not feel the home warranted a historic designation. The HPC has again had the opportunity to review these plans. Their attached recommendation to.approve the demolition, with conditions, passed unanimously. . Staff has included their recommended conditions in the attached Resolution. A pedestrian trail connection was also recorded through the property connecting the two ends of Douglass Lane, and a riparian protection /open space easement was recorded along the Wildcat Creek tributary. zoning ordinance Compliance: The proposal complies with all applicable development regulations, including allowable building height, lot coverage and-floor-.area and required setbacks. The project is also consistent with the Tentative Parcel Map site development plan. Design Review Findings: Staff's review concludes that all of the necessary Design Review findings can be made to recommend approval of the application. Though the house is relatively large compared to the majority of existing homes in the area, it is well articulated to minimize the appearance of excessive mass and bulk. The property itself is comparatively isolated from public view, with the exception of the immediately adjacent homes on Durham Court. Staff has received a letter from Mr. Robert Woolsey, 19952 Durham Court, raising objections to the proposal. He is concerned that. the'new home will be incompatible with the predominantly smaller homes within his neighborhood. He has also stated that the new structure would obstruct views his family currently enjoys from their back yard area. Staff has spoken with Mr. Woolsey regarding these concerns and will be taking the Planning Commissioners to the site on Tuesday afternoon to further consider his comments. The building envelope has been staked and height poles constructed to help assess these concerns. Regarding the size and architectural compatibility of the proposal, staff would note that the property abuts one -acre plus lots to the south, east and.west. This lot is also in excess of one -acre, though it is zoned R -1- 20,000. The size of the parcel does permit a larger home than one would find in the half -acre zoned lots on Durham Court.' File No. DR -94 -024; 14350 Douglass Lane Arborist Review: The City Arborist has reviewed the proposal and feels that the plans can be supported with the tree preservation measures contained in the Resolution. Mr. Coate has noted that three Monterey Pines and a 9 inch DBH Coast Live Oak would need to be removed in order to build the house as proposed. He is recommending that the-three pines be removed due to their health and condition. He has given the oak tree a high health and structure rating. Based on his assessment, staff is recommending that: • The three pines be allowed to be removed and replaced with .three 24 inch box native and drought tolerant trees. These replacements could then be planted along the north property line to provide future screening between this home and the homes along Durham Court. • The oak tree be transplanted elsewhere on the site under the supervision of an ISA certified arborist. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Design Review request, with conditions, by adopting the attached Resolution. i CITY OF SARATOGA HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES DATE: Tuesday, June 14, 1994, 9 a.m. PLACE: Warner Hutton House TYPE: Regular Meeting I.

The residence is located at the end of the private court and is screened from public views by topography and vegetation. A portion of the south elevation of the structure and the driveway. turnaround retaining wall are shown to directly abut the open space easement. This easement was required as a condition of Tentative Parcel Map approval to be 60 ft. in width as measured from the centerline of the Wildcat Creek tributary. Since the creek is located within the property, the easement is over 120 ft. in width at the point the residence abuts it. The applicant is also proposing to construct a contour graded drainage swale partially within the open space. Staff feels that this proximity to the open space can be supported so long as construction activity is limited. to what is shown on the plans. A condition of approval will require that fencing be installed along the entire south boundary of the open space easement to protect it from construction encroachment. This fencing may be removed as needed to perform the proposed grading. Once the grading has been completed, the fencing shall be reinstalled.

AGENDA MEETING DATE: November 2, 1994 ORIGINATING DEPT.: City Clerk CITY MGR. (,30 -.?a ITEM �� 7 APPROVA SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring Weeds Growing on Certain Described Property to be a Public Nuisance and Setting Public Hearing Recommended Motion: Adopt resolution. Report Summary: The attached resolution represents the first step in Saratoga's annual weed abatement program administered by the County Fire Marshal. The County has determined that the parcels in Saratoga on the attached list have excessive weed growth which is a fire hazard or otherwise noxious or dangerous. The Council should pass the resolution setting the public hearing for weed abatement -- December 7 this year. Fiscal Impacts• None to City. County recovers its costs from administrative portion of fee charged to property owners. Follow Up Actions: The - County sends the owners of the parcels notices informing them that the weeds must be abated, either by the owners or by the County; when County abatement will commence; and how they may present any objections at the public hearing. The public hearing is noticed in the newspapers as well. After the public hearing, the Council passes another resolution ordering abatement. on properties whose owners did not object or whose objections the Council felt were invalid. The final steps take place next summer, when the County presents the Council with a list of, properties whose abatement bills have not been paid, and the Council•, after.hearing any objections, passes a resolution declaring liens on those properties. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: Weed abatement could not be performed by the County. It would be necessary to depend upon property owners to take care of their own abatement.

MEETING DATE: JULY 20, 1994 ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS AGENDA ITEM � CITY MGR.: DEPT. HEAD: --�� SUBJECT: Recommendation from the Public Safety Commission to establish a multi -way stop at the intersection of Aspesi Drive and Metler Court Recommended Motion(s): Move to adopt the attached Motor Vehicle Resolution establishing a multi -way stop at the intersection of Aspesi Drive and Metler Court. Report Summary: At their June meeting, the Public Safety Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Council that a multi -way stop be created at the intersection of Aspesi Drive and Metler Court. The particular traffic problem which the multi -way stop is intended to address is the inability of motorists on Aspesi Dr. to remain right of the centerline as they drive through the curve at Metler Ct. The Commission was persuaded to make its recommendation upon considering the responses to a survey of the residents in the vicinity of the intersection, and who would be affected by the installation of the stop signs. A majority of the residents who responded to the survey believe that the stop signs will improve traffic safety on Aspesi Dr. and therefor, should be installed. Staff's recommendation to the Commission was to defer action on the matter until the Commission has the opportunity to discuss anticipated traffic impacts associated 'with the opening of Route 85. The Commission will be discussing this issue at their next three meetings in an effort to formulate an overall recommendation to the Council of various actions to take and measures to implement prior to the opening of the new freeway on October 19. Since it is quite likely that Aspesi Dr. will be one of the streets considered in these discussions, staff felt that the recommendation on the multi -way stop should be folded into the larger recommendation to ensure consistency and necessity. However, the Commission believes the traffic safety issue on Aspesi Dr. is unrelated to, and will not be affected by, either the opening of the freeway or any actions the City may take prior to then, and that the multi -way stop should be created now to address this specific traffic safety concern. Fiscal Impacts: Approximately $500 in labor and materials to create the multi -way stop. Funding would come from Program 33, Traffic Control. Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Nothing additional. Conseauences of Not Actina on the Recommended Motions: The multi- way stop would not be approved at this time. The Council may either adopt the resolution, reject the Commission's recommendation, table the matter, or refer the matter back to the Commission with specific direction. Follow Up Actions: If the resolution is adopted, a work order will be initiated to install the multi -way stop. The work would take approximately two weeks to complete. Attachments: 1.

This represents a response rate in excess of 77% (much better than the voter turnout for yesterday's election!) and I would like to thank those of you who took the time to return the response card. Of the 72 responses, 38 or approximately 52.8% of the total, indicate support for the proposed three -way stop. The remaining 34, or approximately 47.2 %, indicate opposition to the stop signs. A number of response cards include additional comments, the most common of which are: 1. Put the three -way stop at Aspesi and La Paz Way. 2. Close La Paz Way to through traffic. 3. Install speed bumps on Aspesi as an alternative to the stop signs. 4. Install a raised berm /median along the center of the Aspesi curve to prevent vehicles from crossing over the centerline. 5. Increase traffic enforcement on Aspesi. The matter will next be considered by the City's Public Safety Commission at their meeting this coming Monday, June 13. The meeting will be held in the Administrative Conference Room at City Hall and the item is scheduled on the meeting agenda for 8:00 p.m. Please feel free to attend the meeting and address the Commission about this, or call me at 867 -3438, extension 241, if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further with me.

The primary purpose of the stop signs would be to force traffic to stop at the point where Aspesi Dr. curves in order to reduce the speed of traffic travelling through the curve. This, in turn, could improve the safety of Aspesi Dr. by keeping motorists from crossing over the centerline of the road as they drive through the curve. On the other hand, stop signs pose an inconvenience to those who must pass through them to get to and from their homes, and create additional noise and air pollution near them. The Public Safety Commission would like to know what you think. Enclosed with this memo is a pre- stamped, pre- addressed postcard for you to use to express your opinions about the proposed stop signs. Please take a moment to fill out the survey on the back of the card and then return it to the City by Friday, June 3. I will then tally the survey responses and summarize the comments in a report to the Public Safety Commission which will consider the matter at their next meeting on Monday, June 13. You are welcome to attend this meeting and before then, I will write you again to remind you of the time and location of the meeting as well as to provide you with the results of the survey.

If a three -way stop is proposed for the Aspesi Drive /Metler Court intersection, staff recommends that the property owners identified on the attached map be surveyed first. DISCUSSION: This matter was continued from your December meeting. At that time, the Commission received input from Mr. Allen Amstutz, a Metler Court resident, about a continuing speeding problem on Aspesi Drive in the vicinity of the curve near Metler Court. Mr. Amstutz is concerned about motorists who are unable to remain in their lane of traffic as they drive through the curve at excessive speeds. The Commission requested staff to evaluate the reported problem again and develop appropriate recommendations. This is not the first time that Mr. Amstutz has come before the Commission to express concerns about this situation. Staff reviewed the same concern back in 1992 and a copy of staff's prior report to the Commission is attached. In 1992, the Commission, concurred with Staff's recommendations and the additional striping and signage was installed. In January, 1993, there was a property damage accident involving a vehicle travelling eastbound on Aspesi Drive. A copy of the accident report is attached. The accident occurred at 5:45 p.m. on a rainy day and according to the report, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident thought he was on Quito Road and did not expect the curve on Aspesi Dr. nor see the curve because of the rain. There is no evidence to suggest that the vehicle was being driven too fast, (in fact the driver was not cited for a speed violation), so assuming the driver's statements to be true, it is doubtful that any traffic control device such as a stop sign on Aspesi Dr. at Metler Ct. would have prevented this type of accident. - _.._ Mr. Amstutz is requesting the City install a three -way stop at the Aspesi Dr. /Metler Ct. intersection to slow traffic. Unfortunately, this is not an appropriate warrant for installing stop signs. However, if the Commission truly believes a multi -way stop is warranted, one can probably be justified using other warrant criteria. Before performing such a. warrant study though, staff would recommend a survey of the surrounding property owners who would be impacted by the installation of the stop signs. Those property owners whom staff believes should participate in the survey are indicated on the attached map. As for other traffic control measures, staff believes that this location has ample signage and striping and anything additional would be redundant and ineffective. And, as a matter of fact, staff has received several complaints since the signage and striping were installed in 1992 suggesting that they constitute an eyesore and are overkill. Lastly, staff believes that Aspesi Dr. may those streets where traffic patterns could of Route 85. Consequently, the Commissio after the freeway opens before making any further changes on Aspesi Dr. Larry .

Map of suggested survey area. July 6, 1992 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 867 -3438 MEMO TO: Public Safety Commission FROM: Larry I. Perlin, City Engineer RE: Letter from Gail and Allen Amstutz requesting a 3 -way stop at Aspesi Drive and Metler Court Recommended Action: Support staff's recommendation to install additional signage and striping and to request increased enforcement by the Sheriff's Dep't. Discussion: Engineering staff has evaluated Mr. and Mrs. Amstutz's request for a 3 -way stop at the intersection of Aspesi Dr. and Metler Ct.. Since the stated reason for the request -is to control speed on Aspesi Dr. and since there is no history of accidents at this intersection which would warrant the installation of the stop signs, staff is not supportive of the request. Instead, staff believes that there is additional signage and striping which could be installed in the vicinity of the intersection and which would be a more proper response to the reported problems. The proposed signage and striping is illustrated on the attached drawing and involves edge stripes along the sides of the road and warning signs to alert motorists to the curves and the intersection. Additionally, staff believes it would be appropriate to request increased traffic enforcement on Aspesi Dr. by the Sheriff's Department, particularly during those times of the day when students are travelling to and from West Valley College. If the Commission supports staff's recommendations, the proposed signage and striping could be installed within the next 2 -3 weeks as no Council action is necessary to install these traffic control devices.

City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Ave. Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Mr. Perlin, 2 -28 -92 MAR 2 1992 CITY OF 1JGA ,!T':' ENGINEER'S OFFICE We are residents of Saratoga and are writing this letter to you in hopes of solving a traffic problem on our street. Our house is located on the corner of Metler Court and Aspesi Drive. It is at this point of Aspesi that there is an "S" turn, and during commuting hours, cars speed around this corner. Many cars go so fast around this' "S" turn that they are driving on the opposite side of the street. This is particularly dang- erous because it is a blind curve, and we have witnessed near head -on collisions. Our neighbor across the street has had cars jump the curb and drive across his lawn. Also, it is difficult to exit MMetler Court because of poor visibility. We have.talked to Erman in city engineering twice -about this problem. After the first talk, he had 15 mile per hour signs installed. Unfortunately, the signs have had no affect. The second time we called him, he said he would inform traffic police, and he also suggested we write to you. We would like to see a three way stop put in at this intersection. That way, cars would definately be travelling slower around the curve, and residents of Metler Court could safely exit the court. There are several families with young children living near this intersection and during rush hours, it is dangerous for the -kids to ride their bikes and play nearby. Can you please help us solve this problem before someone gets hurt?

AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 1994 CITY MGR.: ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEAD: SUBJECT: Recommendations from Public Safety Commission for monitoring Route 85 traffic impacts Recommended Motion(s): 1. Move to receive recommendations, providing comments and direction. as necessary. 2. Move to request a status report on monitoring efforts and results after ninety days. Report Summary: On July 20, the City Council directed the Public Safety Commission to evaluate the anticipated traffic impacts of Route 85 and develop appropriate recommendations for dealing with those impacts. After considerable discussion and review of projected post- freeway traffic patterns, and after considering the concerns about neighborhood traffic impacts raised by various neighborhood groups, the Commission has concluded that the primary focus of the City should be to establish an effective process for monitoring post- freeway traffic patterns in order to measure the real traffic related impacts of Route 85. Until the real impacts can be verified, the Commission believes that the City should refrain from approving any new traffic control devices or from changing any existing traffic patterns due solely to perceived impacts from the opening of Route 85. Further, the Commission believes that post- freeway traffic patterns will not stabilize for at least 3 -4 months, and that monitoring efforts should continue for at least.6 months after the.freeway opens. Given the above, the following are the Commission's recommendations for monitoring Route 85 traffic impacts:, 1. Avoid making any assessments of or changes in traffic patterns, or installing traffic control devices, until post- freeway traffic patterns stabilize and can be verified. Assume post- freeway traffic patterns will not stabilize for at least 3 -6 months. Recognize that obvious or chronic problems may need to be addressed sooner. 2. Employ various mean freeway related traffic in neighborhood traffi c control devices, gather neighborhood which will requesting changes. s to conduct traffic monitoring to verify impacts. Prior to implementing any changes patterns or installing any new traffic neighborhood input. Identify the entire be impacted by any change, not just those 3. Continue plans to conduct- post- freeway traffic volume and intersection turning movement counts at selected locations throughout the City. These will provide the clearest and most accurate picture of post- freeway traffic patterns and will provide the basis for comparing pre and post- freeway traffic conditions. Perform a comparative analysis of this data with the traffic projections in the various freeway traffic studies to determine the accuracy of the projections and the validity of. the model on which the projections were based. 4. Establish a Route 85 Hotline which residents may call to express concerns about and report problems with Route 85. Maintain a log of all calls and chart reported problems on a map. Acknowledge all calls with either .a return call or a letter and periodically remind residents of the availability of the Hotline in the newspaper and on KSAR. Maintain the Hotline for at least six months after the freeway opens. Note - The Hotline was established on October 10. 5. To promote objective monitoring and observations of post- freeway traffic conditions, avoid using volunteers or relying on data gathered from individuals or groups who have a particular stake in the outcome of such monitoring. Whenever possible, rely on independent third parties to assist with monitoring efforts. Possibilities include Sheriff's Deputies and student interns. 6. Monitor for evidence of cut - through traffic during commute hours in the residential neighborhoods between Quito Rd. and the Saratoga Ave. interchange. 7. Monitor for speeding problems along Cox Ave., Allendale Ave., Fruitvale Ave., Saratoga Ave., and Miller Ave. particularly during commute hours. 8. Plan to update the Speed Survey for Saratoga Ave. between Fruitvale and Cox in early 1995. Anticipate a reduction in the posted speed limit. Establish two segments for the Speed Survey, one on either side of the freeway. 9. Monitor the operation of the new signal system between Dagmar and Vineyards. Determine whether the signal interconnect system should be extended to the signals at Cox and Fruitvale. Also monitor Caltrans operation of the ramp meters during commute hours to determine if there are any backups onto Saratoga Ave. 10. Monitor accident data to determine if the freeway opening results in any positive or negative trends. The Commission believes that by following. the above recommendations, the Council will get an accurate and unbiased evaluation of both the positive and negative traffic impacts resulting from Route 85. It is further recommended that a status report on the above monitoring program be provided to the Council in 90 days. Fiscal Impacts: Limited. All of the above recommendations can be carried out by City staff as part of its. routine work with the exception of the post- freeway traffic volume and turning movement counts. The cost of the counts will be determined by the number of counts which need to be taken and that is something which the Commission will recommend after the initial 90 day monitoring period. The current budget has funds programmed to perform counts in April and May, but it is possible that ,a small supplemental appropriation will be needed to perform all of the counts that will be recommended.. Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Nothing additional. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: N /A. Follow Up Actions: Staff will begin to implement the monitoring program as directed by the Council. Attachments: 1. Letter from Caltrans dated September 27 re: Ramp meter monitoring. 2. Memo to Public Safety Commission dated July 22. STATE OF CALIFORNIA — BUSINESS, TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING AGENCY PETE WILSON, Governor 'DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BOX 23660 OAKLAND, CA 94623 -0660 (510) 286 -4444 TDD (510) 286 -4454 September 27, 1994 Mr. Larry Perlin Director of Public Works City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Mr. Perlin: The construction of the new Route 85 freeway in Santa Clara County between Route 101 and Route 280 is nearing completion. As you may be aware, ramp metering, along with carpool lanes on the freeway and many on- ramps, are included as part of this project. These two traffic management features were decisive factors in obtaining environmental clearance to build Route 85 under the strict provisions of federal air quality regulations. This is to inform you that Caltrans is planning to implement the new ramp meters on Route 85 when it is opened to the public on October 19, 1994. The attached diagram shows the locations for the new Route 85 ramp meters. Please note that there are six ramp meters that are already in operation on northbound Route 85 from the Route 101 interchange to the Blossom Hill Road interchange. According to year 2010 traffic projections prepared by the Santa Clara Traffic Authority's consultant and our own traffic projections, Route 85 has been expected to be congested at some point in the future. However, the traffic volumes at many of the ramps that have opened early are currently already near the 2010 levels. In some cases, existing volumes are higher than the 2010 traffic projections. We believe this trend will continue when the remainder of Route 85 is opened. It is for this reason that we believe it is essential to turn on the meters as soon as Route 85 is open. In general, we expect to operate the northbound meters initially during the morning peak period and the southbound meters during the afternoon peak period. However, since the entire freeway is not open to traffic, the stable travel patterns upon which we normally would base preliminary metering rates have not yet occurred. Therefore, we will take a slightly different approach than usual for our preliminary metering strategy. Initially, we plan to set the ramp meters to operate at the fastest metering rate of 900 vph. Traffic data will be collected during the the first days of operation and as new travel patterns develop, we will make adjustments as necessary. In addition to the ramp meters along Route 85, the connector ramps from Route 85 to Route 17 will be metered. The meters on the connectors to northbound Route 17 will be activated as soon as the connectors are opened to minimize the disruption to northbound Route 17, which currently operates at capacity. The meters on the connectors to southbound Route 17 will be set on green initially. We will monitor southbound Route 17 to determine if these meters are needed at this time. u rn� Mr. Perlin Tuesday, September 27, 1994 Page 2 For the first several weeks of operation, tfaffic using Route 85 may experience delays. We will be monitoring freeway and local street operation very closely during this period and will adjust the metering rates to achieve the optimum operation on the freeway as well as the local streets. We believe that after commuters become accustomed to the new meters and the meters are adjusted, the ramp meters will have negligible impact on local street operations. We will be contacting your staff to arrange a meeting to discuss these new ramp meter in more detail. If you have any question or require any additional information, please feel free to call Rod Oto of my staff at (510) 286 -4540 or Ron Kyutoku at (510) 286 -4527.

After extensive discussion the Council tabled this matter until November 2nd pending your Commission's completion of review of other traffic control recommendations you intend to consider relative to the opening of Highway 85. The City Council has requested that your Commission not finalize any other traffic control changes which are requested or recom- mended based upon projected impacts of Highway 85 opening, nor send them onto the City Council in the interim period. It is the desire of the City Council to be able to consider all such changes at one time. Hopefully your Commission will be able to schedule its work so that all recommended changes can come to the Council on November 2nd.
