MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL Page
OCTOBER 7, 1987
PUBLIC HEARINGS Continued
Mr. Preston Hill, Representative of the Applicant, noted the significant reduction in size from
that originally proposed; intrusion into the sideyard setback was from one comer of the
structure only. The enclosure would be made of acrylic, not glass. Petitioners were agreeable
to any reasonable condition regarding the drainage system.
CLEVENGER/MOYLES MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:16 P.M.
Passed 5-0.
Councilmember Clevenger noted the following concerns on a site visit:
Visibility of sm~cture from the Appellant's yard which was lower than adjacent property
Difficulty of installing and maintaining adequate landscape screening due to the space
limitations on the Applicant's property and an excess of water which had already killed
plantings in the Appellant's yard
Appellant should not have to bear the burden and visual impact of this imposing structure
Councilmember Anderson concurred, adding that the structure would be massive in a small
yard; she was unfavorable to a permanent structure which would severely impact the Appellant.
Councilmember Moyles felt that compromises already made demonstrated the significant
interest of the Planning Commission in addressing concerns of the Appellant~ Other than a pro-
hibition of the pool enclosure, no further mitigation was possible; a prohibition of the enclosure
would deny the Applicant reasonable enjoyment of his yard. Councilmember Hlava concurred.
Councilmember Anderson responded that due to the grade differential of the properties, the
structure would tower 4 ft. above an existing 6 ft. fence; in addition, the length of the structure
would be adjacent to the Appellant's property.
Mayor Peterson stated that he would uphold the decision of the Planning Commission.
MOYLES/HLAVA MOVED TO DENY THE APPEAL, UPHOLDING DECISION OF THE
PLANNING COMMISSION. Passed 3-2, Councilmembers Anderson, Clevenger opposed°
B. Appeal of approval of use permit and design review of plans to construct eight
condominiums and a 1,251 sq. ft. commercial building in the C-V zoning district
(UP-87-001) (Appellant, Saratoga Village Association; applicant, K. Naval)
Planning Director Hsia presented the Memorandum of October 7, 1987.
The Public Hearing was opened at 8:27 P.M.
Ms. Virginia Fanelli, Representing the Applicant, reviewed the history of the Application and
cited the recent determination of the Planning Commission. In response to the consideration
that the property be developed solely as a commercial use, she noted the following:
Reaction from lenders and appraisers was that retail use in the Village was very difficult
At the location in question, exclusive commercial use would be at extreme risk
Successful commercial development would require 20,000 sq. ft. retail including a
minimum of one restaurant;
Such would require a parking disuict ratio of 380:1 or 53 spaces in a two-story smacture
Examplesof commercial sites similar in size and shape were cited
Property in question was clearly a transitional site
Application conformed to Area J guidelines, General Plan~Housing Element, and Village Plan
Mr. Bill Carlson, Representing the Appellants, stated that while the Association favored and
encouraged development, an appeal was filed upon consideration of the ~ollowing:
Imbalance of commercial and residential ratios presented in this Application
Ingress/egress to the proposed development
Residential use at this site would destroy the commercial use desired
Retail vacancies occurred due to the high cost of rental space which resuked from a lack of
competition; thus more commercial u~ was:desired~tt'contr~l~ental costs

OCTOBER 7, 1987
PUBLIC HEARINGS. Continued
Mr. Miles Rankin, Village Merchants Association, notexl that plans presented were seven years
old; in the interim, the Village Plan had been developed. He cited areas of non-conformity:
Traffic ingress/egress over pedestrian walkways
Commercial development was to be the length of Big Basin Way
1~2 00 sq. ft. of commercial on a site in excess of 40,000 sq. ft. was inadequate
Property in question was not a wansifion site; this was a commercial zoning district
In-lieu fees could be used to address parking needs
Ms. Kathleen Amezcua, International Coffee EXchange, concurred and emphasized that the
existing boundaries of commercial use be protected and developed as commercial space.
Mr. Terry Kirk, Plaza Del Roble Association, added that parking already spilled over to
adjacent businesses; in addition, egress from the site as proposed would be a traffic hazard,
Ms. Jackie Welch, 20925 Jacks Rd., Saratoga, reviewed the Village Plan, noted that condo-
miniums were inconsistent with the Plan and would not promote a diversified commercial use.
Mr. Carlson stated that the Association promoted whatever commercial the site could handle.
Ms. Lillian Benson, Benson Antiques, felt that residents of the condominiums would object if
the Caldwell site were zoned for commercial use.
Ms. Fanelli responded as follows:
Parking: three spaces from parking District 1 were already mlocated to this site
Current rental cost per sq. ft. was charged in order to recover investment costs; buildings
on the site in question would also be required to charge the going rate
Confumed that the property in question was a u'ansition site
Willingness of the Applicant to work with the City to develop this property
Requested guidelines for development of this site ff the Application were denied
Commercial use as suggested by the Village Association would be too intense; a transition
site bringing individuals into the Village to live and shop would be morn appropriate
HLAVA/MOYLES MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 9:12 P.M. Passed 5-0.
Councilmember Moyles felt that this Application was consistent with his view of Village; he
felt that there was a transition zone along Big Basin Way and favored a mix of uses. The
assumption that a more intensive commercial use would benefit existing merchants was
questioned; impacts of such intensity of use were cited. He wished to concentrate the
commercial use, improve the infrastructure and retain the historical flavor of the Village.
Mayor Peterson noted difficulties of commercial development on this site: an 80 ft. frontage
with no parking. He favored use of available resources to intensify the commercial activity and
enhance the aesthetics between 5th Ave. and Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd.
Councilmember Hlava concurred and added that this section of Big Basin Way was primarily
office use and condominiums. She would vote to uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission.
Councilmember Anderson felt that this was the transition site to a less intense commercial use;
a variety of historical and aesthetic elements dominated this portion of the Village.
... Councilmember Clevenger noted that all parcels on this side of Big Basin Way were narrow
strips of property; examples of successful development of similar properties in Carmel were
cited. However, she did not feel that the Appeal.had the support of the Council.
MOYLES/HLAVA MOVED TO DENY THE APPEAL XND UPHOLD TIlE DECISION OF
THE PLANNING COMMISSION. Passed 5-0.

C. Reconsiderafion of conf'n-mafion of revocation of second unit use permit for property
located at 14231 Douglass Lane per City Code Section 15-56.100 (SUP 12)
(Appellant/applicant C. Bolander)
Planning Director Hsia reviewed the Memorandum of October 7, 1987.
The Public Hearing Was opened at 9:50 P.M.
Mr. Brian Hawes, Representing the Appellant, noted that the second unit currently complied
with Conditions of Approval and was occupied by a senior citizen. To allow this Permit to go
forward would fulfill the purposes of the City Ordinance; photographs were presented.
Ms. Maxine Buchard, Tenant, noted the kindness of the Bolanders and stated that this unit was
safe and quiet, with accessibility to the Village for an older person.
Ms. Jeanne Johnston, 14210 Douglass Ln., Suratoga, objected to the extensive delays in
bringing this second unit into compliance with City Ordinances and noted the strong objections
of neighbors. Precedent would be set if the decision to revoke this permit were not upheld.
Dr. Robert M. Lohr, 14300 Douglass Ln., Saratoga, conceded that improvements were made
on site; however, he questioned equal enforcement of City Codes and cited the lengthy delays.
Mr. Richard Nichols, 14137 Douglass Ln., Saratoga, urged the Council to be consistent in the
enforcement of City Ordinances.
Ms. Jane Madden, 14060 Douglass Ln., Saratoga, reviewed the definition of the word
ordinance and objected to individuals who did not conform with City Ordinances
Ms. Gladys Wood, 14161 Douglass Ln., Saratoga, noted the recent denial of her application
for a variance; she urged the Council to be consistent and require conformity with Ordinances.
Mr. Brian Hawes responded that the intent of the City was to provide housing for elderly
people; delays in implementing conditions imposed by the Commission were in the past.
CLEVENGER/HLAVA MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 10:05 P.M.
Passed 5-0.
Councilmember Clevenger noted the unfairness to individuals who had complied with City
Ordinances if this revocation of a use permit were reversed and added that precedence would be
set. She questioned whether there were currently two tenants on the property.
Councilmember Anderson was favorable to a denial of this appeal without prejudice; she noted
that there would be similar cases heard, that the unfortunate result of this action would be an
eviction of the tenant; reapplication with payment of new fees would be sufficient penalty.
Councilmember Moyles stated that upon a review of information available and a site visit, he
had reached the same conclusion as before; he noted consideration of the following: Conditions of the Use Permit were in question
Appellant's actions and failure to act had brought the integrity of the process into question
Councilmember Hlava felt that compliance with the Second Unit Ordinance was very difficult;
she added that the purposes of the Ordinance were being served, namely:
The second trait had been brought up to Cede
A senior citizen was being housed
Property in general had been upgraded.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Continued
D. Appeal of design review approval of plans to construct a new 2,175 sq. ft~ one-story
single family residence in the R-l-10,000 zoning district at 14470 Oak Place
(DR:87-043) (Applicant, D. Brown; appellant, H. Davies)
Planning Director Hsia presented the Memorandum of October 7, 1987.
The City Attorney noted the recent lot line adjustment and a merger of an adjacent parcel.
The Public Hearing was opened at 10:27 P.M.
Ms. Holly Davies, Appellant, presented a map and reviewed impacts of existing development;
only through a limitation of square footage of the proposed house on Lot 11 could this site
compensate for the enormous bulk of the house on Lot 12. The merger of the triangular parcel
accomplished little in relieving excess bulk on Oak Place.
Ms. Jane Pinel, 14472 Oak Place, Saratoga, noted the following concerns:
Size of the proposed structure was too large for the lot in question; she cited impacts to her
property and to a large Oak tree on the property in question
Driveway confignmtion was illogical; she asked that an "L" shaped driveway be installed
Objected to the proposed color of the new house which was similar to her house
Property lines had not been determined by a survey of the lots in question
Ms. Betty Rowe, 20360 Saratoga-Los Gatos Rd., Saratoga, noted the following concerns:
Size of the proposed structure was too large for the lot in question. She suggested
building a cottage on this site; such a structure would be affordable for senior citizens
Oak trees; many of these old Oak trees were being lost
Color of the proposed house which should be changed
Requiting a survey of the property
Individuals in favor of this proposal were not from the immediate area
Ms. Dolores Smith, 14560 Westcott Dr., Saratoga, requested consideration of the existing
neighborhoed in determining the use of this property; she cited impacts of an intensive use.
Ms. Lucia Braun, La Paloma Ave., Saratoga, asked that the character of this neighborhoed be
preserved; she objected to the building of a new house on this site.
Mr. Norm Matteoni, Representing the Applicant, noted the following issues:
Reviewed surveys already made of the property and stated that this issue had been resolved
Questioned the implication that special roles were to be applied to this property; in fact, this
Application met all City requirements and requests of Design Review had been completed
Character of the neighborhoed; this area contained homes of diversified design and style
Mr.David Pines, Architect, stated that the house was designed in consideration of the area:
Small, one-story house to fit between larger two-story homes on either side
Setback was h transition between the deep setback of the house to the east and the closer
setback of thb house to the west
Allowable size was 3500 sq. ft; proposed house was 38% less than alloWable size
Further reduction of the house would not reduce visual impact from the street since the
required two car garage faced the street
House was approximately 27 ft~ from the Oak tree in question; the tree would be preserved
Height, impervious coverage and setbacks of the proposed house were reviewed
Design Review Findings were reviewed to show compliance with these standards
Ms. Leslie Thomas was considering purchasing property in the area and was favorable to the
proposed house.
Mr. Donald Brown, Applicant, noted that the proposed size of the house was at the minimum,

PUBLIC HEARINGS Continued
Councilmember Hlava reviewed the development of this area and noted that she shaXed the
concerns raised by neighboB; however, due to the fact that these lots were legal lots of record,
the City could not require that Lot 11 be split and merged with adjacent Lots and 10 and 12.
She felt that granting the Appeal would not result in a significant difference, since a house
would be built on this lot; she will vote to deny the appeal.
Councilmember Clevenger noted the cumulative impact of bulk on these three lots and stated
that as she had voted to deny the Application for Lot 10, she would deny this proposed house.
Mayor Peterson was in favor of this project and felt that there were a number of lots in the City
Of Saratoga that he wished to see similar development on; he reviewed the process of
reducingthe size of this house and noted the uniqueness of the design presented.
Councilmember Anderson noted the smallness of this lot and questioned building a house of
any size on such a lot; however, she acknowledged that this was a legal lot of record.
Councilmember MoyleS concurred with Councilmember Hlava and noted that the proposed
house could not be reduced further;, any further reduction would make the house unusable.
Planning Director Hsia suggested a Condition of Approval 10, to read, "The applicant shall
submit the plans to the City Horiculturalist for review; all recommendations of the City
Hoficulmralist for the protection of the Oak tree shall be incorporated into the project."
