She recommended that a uniform sign program be adopted for business logos as there will be different logos proposed for the different buildings. Commissioner Pierce said that he was not fond of the logo but stated that he could support the logo as it is the business' logo. Commissioner Abshire felt that the logo would be important to identify Mr. Kwok's business. Planner Walgren stated that the Sign Ordinance allows the use of a logo. However, should the Commission feel that it is an inappropriate logo, it can request that it be revised. Commissioner Murakami stated that he felt that the proposed logo would be acceptable for an individual business.

He asked Mr. Nikitin if he would consider using pervious material? Mr. Nikitin stated that his client would prefer the use of impervious material. Chairwoman Kaplan asked which trees would be impacted by the driveway? Planner Walgren clarified that trees 5 and 6 are to be removed with a replacement value of $7,099 and $1,1293 respectively. Chairwoman Kaplan recommended that the pavement be reduced to save the two trees. Mr. Nikitin said that he would consider redesign but that redesign would still result in a driveway connection. • • PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER l l , 1996 PAGE - 6 - COMMISSIONERS PATRICK/PIERCE MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:04 P.M.

She recommended the elimination of the Monte Vista Drive access and the elimination of the connection. In response to Chairwoman Kaplan's question, Planner Walgren stated that the trees could be saved with the elimination of the driveway connection. Commissioner Pierce did not believe that the driveway connection was necessary as it provides excessive surface. Commissioners Patrick/Pierce reopened the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. Bob Miroyan, applicant, requested the removal of the tree located in front of the home.

Mr. Bommarito stated that once the home is laid to scale, he does not believe that there would be an impact to the trees. He said that he felt that he could make the driveway work and not impact the two trees. Planner Walgren stated that he felt that the home could be shifted away from one of the two trees. Commissioner Abshire stated that the design of the home was appropriate for the neighborhood. He felt that narrowing the driveway with the use of pervious material would save pistachio tree numbers 4 and 5 for at least five years. Planner Wa?gren recommended the modification of the condition to save the pistachio trees to read as follows: "Modification of driveway to save both pistachio trees. " In response to Chairwoman Kaplan's question, Mr. Bommarito said that the fireplaces would be equipped with gas starters.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 11, 1996 PAGE - 8 - Chuck Bommarito responded to Commissioner Murakami's question by stating that the site plan for lot 4 was similar to that of lot 1.

Commissioner Patrick noted that the use of stucco is being proposed and that she was tired of seeing its use. Commissioner Murakami concurred with Commissioner Patrick's comments and stated that it appears to be the same house as that of lot 1 using a different motif in the front. He stated that he was hoping to see something less monotonous. Commissioner Abshire said that he did not feel that the design fits in with the neighborhood as it is too large and too overbearing. COMMISSIONERS PATRICK/SIEGFRIED MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. DR- 96-062 PER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-3 WITH COMMISSIONERS ABSHIRE, MURAKAMI AND CHAIRWOMAN KAPLAN VOTING NO. 8.

Planner Walgren said that the planting as shown in the project plans identify the landscaping proposed. He noted that the home is only 18 feet in height. He did not believe that there would be a solar or height impact to the adjacent home. Commissioner Patrick asked if two bay windows appear to project into the required setbacks?

Chairwoman Kaplan opened the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. Dennis Burrow, project architect, informed the Commission that the property owner proposes to replace three substandard cottages with four new cottages. He stated that he tried to maintain the architectural character of the cottages. He indicated that meandering walkways would be proposed between the units. Commissioner Abshire asked how the new parking area would be accessed and whether the parking platform is to be cantilevered out of the property? If the platform is to be cantilevered, what plans are proposed to disguise the cantilever? Mr. Burrow said that the intent of the cantilever is to move the footings away from the trees. He said that the cottage units would screen the cantilever platform and that shrubs and trees will also act as a screen. Mr. Burrow also noted that the existing trees are to remain to act as screening. Commissioner Pierce said that it appears that units B and C are proposed as two units with kitchens. Mr. Burrows clarified that units B and C are designed with kitchen facilities and felt that the kitchen facilities would be a benefit to individuals staying longer than one night. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 11, 1996 PAGE - 10 - Paul Hernandez, applicants' son, provided the Commission with photographs that depict the views of the site along with the existing units. He identified the location of the cantilevered parking area and the existing screening. He also identified the site of the adjacent neighbors. He informed the Commission that a kitchen facility is provided so that individuals can stay for a long period of time if so needed. He informed the Commission that he had a tenant who occupied one unit for a period of eight years. He said that the cottage units are not owner units, but that they are rental units with the larger units designed for long term occupants. He clarified that vehicles would not be going through the property. He stated that he was trying to preserve the existing oak trees as they are valuable commodities. Walter Marchetti, 20701 St. Charles Street, informed the Commission that his rear yard borders this project. He expressed concern with the trees, noting that the report states that no trees are to be removed. He inquired as to the setback of the two story structures and felt that the structures would be too close to his property. He stated that he did not know if St. Charles Street could support additional parking. He requested that the integrity of the residential community be retained versus that of a commercial use. Marilyn Marchetti, informed the Commission that St. Charles Street is a narrow street and that a parking problem currently exists. She expressed concern that St. Charles Street is not feasible for access to the parking structure. She noted that the driveway structure is proposed in front of her home. She expressed concern with the aesthetics of the parking structure; the lack of a guarantee that the cottages would not be used as rental units; and that the two story structures are located too close to the fence, becoming an unsightly view. She requested that additional plantings be required to screen the project should the project be approved. In response to Commissioner Pierce's question, Mrs. Marchetti said that her home is also atwo- story design. Commissioner Pierce stated that at the site visit, he noted that the Marchetti's home appears to be a large, two story structure on a small lot. Chairwoman Kaplan asked if adequate screening would be provided? Planner Walgren stated that landscaping is proposed interior to the project to mitigate aesthetics. Chairwoman Kaplan noted that planting is not proposed between units C and D. Planner Walgren stated that the Planning Commission could require additional screening be planted to mitigate the Marchetti's concern. He stated that the building is setback 20-25 feet from the property line. He informed the Commission that a condition has been included that would require that the parking platform use a decorative paver or stamped color concrete to mitigate its visual impact. Chairwoman Kaplan asked if street parking was being taken away from the area residents with this proposal? Planner Walgren informed the Commission that individuals are parking on the shoulders and that it is not a stripped area. He stated that staff processed the application as part of the motel use and that it was not known that some of the units were being used as rental units. ~ • PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 11, 1996 PAGE - 11 - He stated that it needs to be clarified whether the use is that of a motel or that of an apartment- type use. He noted that the parking requirement for a motel is 1 space per unit and that permanent rental units require a garage and 1.5 parking spaces per unit. Betty Riley, 20795 Pamela Way, informed the Commission that Sixth Street is a narrow street and that it is a dangerous street. She stated that she does not like the fact that new people would be coming and going with this use. She also stated that she would prefer to see four small, one story cottages. Mr. Burrow stated that the design of the two story structure is such that the second story is setback further in than the first story. He informed the Commission that he spoke with City Engineer Perlin regarding the proposed parking facility and that it was determined that it would be acceptable to have vehicles park on the street. He stated that he would agree to install landscaping between the buildings as long as drought tolerant landscape material is used. Mr. Hernandez informed the Commission that the height of the second story would not be greater than the existing units depicted in the photos provided. He stated that he would like to provide his visitors with a view of Saratoga. Therefore, he objected to the use of obscured glass as it would not provide his visitors with a vista. He said that several existing units have kitchen facilities. He felt that there was a need of providing units for individuals who want to stay in Saratoga for a period of a month or two. Commissioner Pierce asked if Mr. Hernandez would oppose a condition that would limit the length of stay? Mr. Hernandez responded that he would not like to have a length of stay restriction imposed. Planner Walgren informed the Commission that city codes do not limit length of stays. He felt that an assessment would need to be made as to whether the use was that of a motel or an apartment. He noted that 10 parking spaces would be required if this use is considered a multi- family use. Commissioner Pierce felt that it would he appropriate to consider this issue in a study session. He felt that there was a need in the community for a motel and also a need for short term rentals other than apartments. However, he was not sure which restrictions would be applied. Chairwoman Kaplan stated that she understood the neighbors' concerns of having individuals going back and forth. She stated that she did not want to see cars drive through the motel and damage the existing trees. She asked if there were other parking alternatives? Commissioner Murakami stated that he had no problem with the design but concurred that a study session was warranted to discuss issues of concerns. Commissioner Siegfried clarified that parking requirements are based on the use of the site. • • PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 11, 1996 PAGE - 12 - Community Development Director Curtis stated that there is a need for short term housing proposed by the applicant. He felt that the issue may be what would be considered an appropriate length of stay. Chairwoman Kaplan asked what type of vehicles would be allowed to park in the four parking spaces (i.e., RV, trucks, etc.)? She recommended that consideration be given to restricting certain vehicles as the street cannot accommodate large vehicles. COMMISSIONERS PIERCE/BERNALD MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO A JANUARY 8, 1997 STUDY SESSION TO COMMENCE AT 5:00 P.M. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. Mr. Hernandez invited the Commission to a tour of the facility. Commissioner Pierce stated that he would like to accept the offer of the tour. Commissioner Siegfried clarified the major issue of concern was that of parking. DIRECTOR'S ITEMS I .
