owner of residence at 19895 Bonnie Ridge Way) expressing opposition
to Apkraian appeal regarding modification of residence from one

The City Manager explained that :this hearing is not a de novo hearing, and

listed in Mr. Apkarian's appeal.
Mr. Van Duyn, Plannin~i~Director,~ explained that this is a request to.~
convert an existing single-stor~ structure to a two-story structure.
He pointed out photos submitted ~by Mr. Apkarian, as well as a rendering
of the proposed conversion, for :the Council's examination this evening.
He indicated that the Apkarians are requesting approximately 720 square
feet of additional floor area, to be located directly over the garage on
the'easterly side of the property.

· Appeal Re: Two-Story Conversion (Apkarian)
Mr. Van Duyn outlined the factors to be taken into-consideration for a
two-story conversion: 1) To. protect neighboring properties from invasion
of privacy; 2) unreasonable interference with views; 3) adverse impact on
aesthetic character; and 4) reduction in quantity and quality of light and
air. He indicated that based on 'tHese considerations, the staff had recommended
the two-story addition.be denied
The'Mayor opened the public heariTng at 8:50 P.M.
Martin Apkarian, 19919 Bonnie Ridge Way, addressed the Council. In responding
to a point made by the Planning Director regarding the setback requirement,
Mr. Apkarian stated that he does have the legal setback between the property
line and his garage, which is exactly lO feet, 8 inches. He stated that the
7 feet referred to by Mr. Van D~yn was the pool house which extends 7 feet,
and there is a 3-foot walkway in between. Further, he indicated that the
17-foot setback from the rear proberty line to the existing building is not
where the new addition is going on.-- that is on the west side of the house,
which is the bedroom Section of the house~ He indicated that the proposed
area where he wants to construct the 'addition is over 25 feet:setback.
Mr. Apkarian then spoke to Ordinance NS-3-ZC-73, Section 16.15, relating to
invasion of privacy. He indicates that on the east side of the building
there 'are two windows -- ane located in front, which is
that looks down Bonnie Ridge Way,~and the other located in the back, which
is an obscured glass window with ~o'view into anyone's yard, and would not
invade anyone's privacy.
With regard to the issue of quality and quantity, of light and air, Mr.
Apkarian commented that between his'garage and the property line in front
~Tl~.e~t, 8 inches, and the property line runs back at a slight angle.
Also, between the Cofer's property ~nd the property line is another ll feet.
Behind their garage, it offsets some 14 feet approximately, so there is
approximatel.y 35 feet between his house and the Cofer's family room, which
gives them ample light and air. ~e stated that along this fence there is
high shrubbery from one end to the other, and if there is any obstruction of
light, t~is would do it', and not ~h~thing he would propose to add to his home.
Mr. Apkarian then spoke to the aesthetic character of the proposed addition,
indicating that he feels it is a very attractive, eye-appealing motif to be
added onto a house that is existing. He discussed additional future plans
for improvement to his home,-inclQding a new roof, landscaping, painting,
etc. Mr. Apkarian commented relative to the location of his home, and
referred to the photographs which'he had submitted to the Council, stating.
that coming up Bonnie Ridge Way westbound, one cannot see'his home because
of the shrubber~ along this area ~ Further, in the photo'taken from across
the street, it appears that he iS'~s'ituated on a depressed lot, and~t~dTM
he would not be going Up high enough to obstruct anything or make a~i~H~ly
· addition. He indicated he has views from the roof looking down into the
Cofer's yard,'and in no way can y6u see their patio.
He i.ndicated that the p~oposed structure is planned in order that it would
drop into the existing garage, and from there go up8 feet,~ and the in-
crease to the height of the existin~ structure would be 6 feet.
Councilwoman Corr asked Mr. Apkarian if he had altered his.plans from the
those or.iginally presented to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Apkarian replied that the plans are basically the same; he is only
going to move the addition in 6 feet.
Councilman Kraus ~nquired if the ~verhang on the proposed unit be the same
area that.is on the garage now. .
Mr. Apkarian replied that it would.,

Appeal Re: Two-Story Conversion (Apkarian)
Dale Cofer,..19917 Bonnie Ridge Way~ addressed the Council. Mr. Cofer
commented that he is' sorry the sketch of Mr. Apkarian's front elevation
does not show their property~(~6Gl~s~6~lthe Cofer's elevation as
substantially lower than the exi~Tngprop~t~ ~- Without the addition.
Mr. Corer stated that his wife and himself did not solicit any of the
neighbors to support their point o~ view. He stated it is their belief
their property would be strongl9 ~mpacted, and.the verti.cal wail which
would appear on their side of the proposed construction is highly un-
desirable.
Mr. Cofer indicated that yesterday his wife received a call from Mr. Sweeney
who occupies the residence directly behind Mr. Apkarian, who indicated he
had been on a business trip at th~ time of the Planning Commission hearing.
He was on a trip at this time and could not attend this meeting, and
authorized Mr. Cofer to express hissopposition to this proposed addition.
With regard to enhancing the aesthetic character of the neighb6rhood, Mr.
Cofer indicated he feels Mr. Apkarian has a very attractive home at the
present, and he feels any evaluation of the aesthetic involvement of the
neighborhood is very subj.ective. He indicated that he is willing to agree
with the position of the Planning Commission that the addition would have
adverse affect. ~"~' ~ .....
~r. Cofer commented relevant to the.statement made concerning invasion of
privacy, stating that the opaque windows at some future date could be
changed..
With regard to obstructing the view, Mr. Cofer commented that the present
view of the roof is not displeasing.at present; however, it would be some-
what displeasing with the proposed. plan. He further commented that he
~elieves the quantity of light would be interfered with, and in the winter
the light would be impacted.
Mr. Cofer commented with regard to the' fourth point in Mr. Apkarian's appeal,
relative to the fact that there was only one desertring party at the Planning
Commission hearing. He stated that it would seem to him-regardless of how
many people approve or oppose'this, if one party is severaly adversely
affected, the appeal should be denied.
With regard to point number five, Mr. Cofer stated that Mr. Apkarian has
children, and he has 3 bedrooms inthe current house. He commented~when
he bought the house, it had approximately 2200 square feet, and it is his
information, in checking with real'estate records, before purchasing this
house, Mr. Apkarian owned a home with 3200 square~feet.
Everett Carroll, 19931 Bonnie Ridg~ Way, addressed the Council, stating that
he lives generally west.of the Apkarians. ~e stated that approximatelg'2
months ago,/~r~'T~_~pk~i~'d~'~pr6~(~h~mm W~'he thought about a 2-story
addition to his'~6~'~'~owed~'i~'~a~'~k~tch6S'at that time. It was
Mr. Carroll's feeling the addition wguld be pretty well blended in with the
home, and he would have no problem'with this proposed addition. He indicated
there is a 2-story home across and down the street on Bonnie Ridge, and also,
one on the corner of Bonnie Ridge, and he would see no problem with this at all.
Mr. Apkarian again addressed the Council and again pointed out on the
photographs submitted to the Council,views from various points between his
home and Mr. Cofer's home, stating at no point would there be an invasion
of privacy on block any view from their back yard.

Appeal Re: Two-Story Conversion (Apkarian)
Mr. Apkarian commented with respect to Mr. Cofer's statement concerning
his previous home, he stated this 'is a matter between he and his wife.
However, in this particular house, he did not feel there was enough room
to bring up 2 children. He stated that the children have no place to do
their home studies and no place to entertain their friends, and their plans'
would call for a master bedroom forShe and his wife, converting one of the
existing rooms into a study for their children so they can further their
education. Also, he needs the additional room so his children can entertain
their friends in his home, as he wants to keep track of his children and
know where they are constantly.
Shelly Williams, 11951 Brookridge ~D~ive, indicated he wouldlike to express
an opinion as a realtor that he personally would be in favor of additions
that are tastefully done. He stated it adds to the property value of that
particular house, and increases the'value in the n~ighborhood for resale
purposes.
Louise Cofer addressed the Council. She stated that Mr. Carroll lives on
the other side of Mr. Apkarian an~ i~s not affected by thi~ conversion. She
indicated that he has a large oak tree which would block out additional
height to the roof line. She further commented .that they also have raised
2 children, and'they raised them in 2100 square feet~ and she didn't see
where 700 square feet more would make that much difference. She stated
that Mr. Apkarian knew ~ery well What he was doing when he moved into a
2200 square-foot home. ~
It was then m6ved by Councilman K~ads and seconded'by Councilwoman Corr the
public hearing be closed. The motion was carried. The public hearing was
closed at 9:15 P.M.
Councilman Kraus indicated he has viewed this property, and would have a
great deal Of difficulty in approving a secondsstory in this particular'
situation. He therefore moved, and it was seconded by Councilwoman Corr,
to deny this appeal. The motion was carried unanimously.
B. CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION BY SARATOGA FOOTHILLS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM "A" (AGRICULTURAL) TO "R-l-lO,O00" (SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, MEDIUM DENSITY) FOR THE 4.456-ACRE PARCEL ON SARATOGA AVENUE
(APN 386-14-15), COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE SITE OF THE CAMPBELL CAGE COMPANY
The Mayor advised there is a requirement for notifi'cation on the E.I.R. in
this matter; however, it would be proper to open the public hearing this
evening and receive testimony, and then continue the hearing to a future date.
Mr. Van Du~n, Planning Director, advised that this area is approximately 4½
acres, located fronting on Saratoga Avenue. He indicated that the property
is presently zoned "A",~and the General Plan has indicated the site for
"PD Residential~. A~13-1o~ subdivision is proposed. He advised that the
Campbell Cage Company industrial activity has recently suffered a fire,
and this somewhat changed the requirements that the Planning Commission
placed under conditions for the rezoning approval. He indicated that the
matter was considered by the Plannin~ Commission and approved, subject to
several conditions which are responsive to areas 6f concern within the
Environmental Impact Report -- principally that the site, because of the
historical significance of the main building, bes investigated for possible
total removal or relocation, and if this were not an available alternative,
the removal of the site in a piecemeal fashion to~'besused for historical
purposes. :
The Mayor opened the public hearing 6n this matter at 9:33 P.M.

Saratoga Foothills (Campbell Cage)
Bud Budoin,<iT204 Pierce Road,_addressed the Council on beha~'f o~ the
Senior Citiz~Mo~i~TT~sk'F~e~ He indicated that when the Plan~ing
Commission considered both the E.I.R. and the change of zoning on this
property, he had indicated that he 'entirely supported the change of zoning,
with the hope that a way could be expedited to use this site for Senior
Citizen housing. He stated that the'E.I.R. indicated it would be a good
site for Senior Citizen housing; however, inhibitions were imposed on this
recommendation due to present zoning. He stated that the site is beauti-
fully located in terms of every~kind of criteria we would want to set down
on Senior Citizen housing, and it does not impact a great deal on other
residential areas. Additionally, its location to shopping is~very.good.
He indicated that the buildens,·Lohr and Turgeon, came up with. a proposal
in 1972 for about 40 single-story units, and the Task Force after the
Planning Commission Meetihg invited Lohr and Turgeon to show them that plan,
and the Task Force was quite ~nthused about this as a. possibility. He
stated that his reason for appearing at this time is to express the hope
that through the cooperation of the City, the~developers and the owners
we can exhaust every possibility before lettj·ng~t go~tQ a
Further, he i.ndicated that 99 p~e~66T~f"'~h~ Pla~ffi~g-C6'~'~i~ion'~ dis~'~
C~u~ w~'~devoted to the hop~'~t'~Om~'~i~'~l'd~6~'~d'~t~6~ake
this a~ior Citizen-type development. · ' ·
Francis Smith, 2684 Maplewood Lane, Santa Clara, addressed the council as·
one of the owners of this property~ Mr. Smith commented that their concern
at this point is with the buitding~ indicating that if the stalling of
zoning interferes with tearing thebuiqding down, they would raise strong
objections. He indicated that'at present this building is a liability
because of the fire, and they have. spent much time in trying to keep people
from coming in and tearing it down'piece-by-piece. He aomhe~ted that they
have been very patient in~C~'~i~g to get some kind of zoning on the
piece, and they do not wish~t~i't longer. ·
Mayor Bridges commented that he wobld presume this process could be started
at any time, as the Planning Commission has conditioned the rezoning on the
requirement that the applicant advertise in a local newspaper the avail-
ability of the barn structure for relocation for historic~use. Said Noti-
fication of intent shall be for a ,period of 30 days, to which shall be added
a·15-day reply period.
Mr. Van Duyn, Planning Director,-advised that the 30-day period has lapsed,
and th~s timetable has been accelerated somewhat because of the fire. He
indicated that once the signed agreement between the property owner and the
. Historical Society has been received, the staff would be .ready to proceed.
Therefore, the Planning:Commission Condition has been met.
It was then moved by Councilman Krads and seconded by CouncilwOman Corr to
continuethe public hearing to October 6, 1976. The motion was carried.
