Francisco implemented a ban on single-use plastic bags, the amount of plastic bag
litter did not decrease. Mr. Diaz also noted the American Chemistry Council is
supportive of educating people about the importance of recycling.
Vice Mayor King asked Mr. Diaz if he would provide the Council with articles
indicating that the use of plastic bags increased after the City of San Francisco
implemented a ban on single-use plastic bags.
Mr. Dias noted he would.
Council thanked Mr. Diaz for his presentation.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
12. PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION ORDERING THE ABATEMENT OF
A PUBLIC NUISANCE BY REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS VEGETATION
(WEEDS)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Open public hearing; listen to public testimony; and close public hearing. Consider
any objections to proposed Order for Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation and sustain
or overrule any objections as to specific properties. Adopt proposed Resolution
Ordering Abatement (Attachment A) as to properties listed (with modification(s) if
any objections are sustained.
City Clerk Ann Sullivan presented the staff report.
In addition, she noted that the Clerk’s Office had received a significant number of
telephone calls and visitors from property owners that were on the abatement list
voicing concerns about the letter sent by the City and the implication that they were
required to attend this evening’s public hearing regarding the weed abatement issue.
Moe Kumre, representative from the County Agriculture Department was present to
address any questions Council may have.
Vice Mayor King had questions regarding a required third notice and asked when that
would be mailed to affected property owners.
Moe Kumre explained that the third notice had just gone out in the mail the day
before the Council meeting.
Councilmember Miller asked the City Clerk if there was a specific issue or concern
voiced by the property owners when they contacted the Clerk’s office.
The City Clerk responded that the majority of the calls and visitors stated that the
letter from the City created confusion and that they felt they were obligated to be
present at this evening’s public hearing.
Vice Mayor King noted that it has always been a practice for the past five years to
send three notices to property owners that were on the abatement list and asked if this
was the first year that one of the three notices came from the City and previously all
three notices came from the County.
Mr. Kumre responded to Councilmember King’s question noting that the change to
the program this year (which also includes the fee for inspections if the property fails
29
6
the inspection after the April 15th deadline to abate) did remove one notice from the
County. Therefore, an additional notice was required (the second notification) which
was sent by the City. The third notice was mailed by the County yesterday – for a
total of three notices that the City requires.
He noted the next notice, which is the 15-day courtesy notice that is sent to non-
compliant property owners after the April 15th deadline to abate, states the property
owner has 15 days to abate or the County will do the abatement for them. Property
owners that receive this notice will incur a $298.00 inspection fee. If they abate
within the 15 day requirement or by the agreed-upon abatement date they will not
incur any additional fees. However, if they don’t abate by the agreed-upon date, they
will be charged all abatement costs for the County to come in and abate their
property, plus a 150% administrative fee.
Mr. Kumre noted Council could streamline the notification process by having just
three abatement notices mailed from the County to affected property owners.
Mayor Page opened the public hearing.
The following people requested to speak:
Charles Heger asked to be removed from the list and suggested having until July 15th
as the deadline to abate hazardous vegetation. He also noted the letter from the City
was a little harsh.
Mr. Kumre apologized for the harsh tone of the letter, but stated that the wording is
legally required by law.
Charles Luke stated he didn’t feel he should be on the list and requested to be
removed from the list. Mr. Luke also noted the letter from the City could be toned
down.
Bruce Shafer noted he received two letters from the County indicating two different
deadline dates – April 1st and April 15, the letter from the City indicating April 15th
deadline, and a letter from Fire Commissioner Gene Zambetti indicating June 1st as
the deadline to abate. He noted this is confusing and the program needs to be refined.
He also stated the letter from the City was a little harsh and that the assessment fees
are quite excessive.
Mayor Page clarified that the fees are established by the County, not the City and
invited Mr. Kumre to respond to Mr. Shafer’s concerns regarding the inspection dates
and the fees.
Mr. Kumre stated the fees are charged only if a property is not in compliance after the
April 15th deadline inspection. He also noted that he has arranged to meet with Mr.
Shafer at his home to determine the appropriate time for the inspection after April
15th. He also noted that he is aware of the fact that hillside properties take longer to
dry out after rains before they can be abated. In addition, he stated he will be working
with Mr. Heger regarding his property abatement schedule.
30
7
Mr. Kumre also stated there will be no charges to property owners if they are in
compliance by the agreed upon inspection date. If those properties are still non-
compliant after the agreed upon inspection date, they will be accessed charges.
Councilmember Hunter asked for clarification regarding the different abatement dates
on the notices sent from the County.
Mr. Kumre explained that the properties in the unincorporated area of the County
have an April 1st deadline to abate and apologized for that notice being sent to a
property owner in Saratoga. He reiterated that no property in Saratoga would be
inspected prior to April 15th.
Mr. Kumre also noted that the abatement date could change depending on the type of
weather for that winter; if it is an exceptionally dry year the abatement deadline could
be much earlier and a much later date if it was a very wet year.
Mr. Kumre addressed the concern regarding the letter from Saratoga Fire
Commissioner Gene Zambetti and stated he does not know the abatement criteria for
the Saratoga Fire.
Greg Green asked to be removed from the list and stated the April 15 deadline date is
too early to abate.
Minold (no speaker slip) stated the April 15th deadline is too early. He suggested the
notices reflect the fact that the abatement deadline may change based on the amount
of rain that year.
Kwan (no speaker slip) stated he has been on the abatement list for the past several
years and didn’t feel the letter from the City was too harsh. He also noted that he
grows a lot of vegetables on his property and these vegetables do grow to a
significant height, which could cause the inspector to assume they are hazardous
weeds.
Councilmember Hunter asked for clarification as to how a property is added or should
be added to the abatement list.
Mr. Kumre responded that there are two ways to add a property to the abatement list;
however, he noted the property has to be found non-compliant during the fire season
which begins April 15th and goes through October.
He noted anyone can report a property to his department that appears non-compliant
and may be a fire hazard. The property will be inspected, photos will be taken, and
his department will send a letter to the property owner informing them that they are
non-compliant. The second way a property is added to the list is that the County
inspector sees a property that is non-compliant when they are inspecting other parcels
that are non-compliant.
Vice Mayor King asked Mr. Kumre if he could determine why so many more
property owners were present to speak at tonight’s public hearing than in past years.
31
8
Mr. Kumre responded that the letter sent by the City created confusion. In addition,
he noted that his office received a large number of phone calls from concerned
property owners as well.
Mayor Page closed the public hearing.
Council suggested that for next year’s abatement program the County send the third
letter rather than the City. In addition, Council noted they would work on improving
the abatement notification process as well.

13. FY 2009/10 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the Public Hearing and make a decision regarding recommendation of
remaining Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Cynthia McCormick presented the staff report noting that at the March 4, 2009
Council Meeting Council fully funded six of the applicants. On March 6, 2009, Mid
Peninsula withdrew their application. Ms. McCormick noted that although the FY
2009/10 CDBG funding amounts have not yet been finalized, the City estimates
approximately $27,619 remains after the recommended allocations are filled. She
noted the Public Works Department has requested funds for two projects that are
already partially funded under the CDBG program with the remaining Community
Development Block Grant funds; $10,000 is requested for Phase II of the Saratoga
Historical Museum ADA project and $17,619 is requested for Phase III of the ADA-
Accessible Signal project.

14. REQUEST FOR DISCRETIONARY FUNDS FOR FEES ASSOCIATED WITH
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP)
32
9
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct Staff Accordingly.
Director John Livingstone presented the staff report.
Director Livingstone noted that on March 4, 2009, the Chamber of Commerce
addressed the Council during Oral Communications regarding their impending
relocation from their current street frontage location and asked the Council to
consider assisting the Chamber with the costs involved with a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP).
Councilmember Hunter voiced her concern about the Chamber not being open on
Saturdays when so many people visit the Village and asked if that issue could be
addressed in the Use Permit if Council does decide to waive the CUP fee.
City Attorney Richard Taylor noted Council does have a Memorandum of
Understanding with the Chamber and that may be where the City addresses that issue.
City Manager Dave Anderson stated that it could also be addressed in the next Fee for
Service Agreement at the end of the current agreement.
Vice Mayor King raised the question if the CUP could specify the Chamber to remain
on Big Basin street frontage on the first floor.
Attorney Taylor noted the grant agreement could specify that the CUP fee is waived
under certain conditions.
Mayor Page invited public comment.
The following people requested to speak on this item:
Vance Nelson stated the Chamber would like to remain in a visible location on Big
Basin Way and asked Council to consider waiving the CUP fee. He also noted the
Chamber would like to be open on Saturdays; however that would incur additional
salary costs.
Councilmember Hunter noted that most of the Village shops are closed on Mondays
and maybe the Chamber could do the same and have office hours on Saturdays.
Mayor Page also suggested the Chamber consider Saturday openings in order to serve
the businesses and visitors to the Village.
The following people spoke in support of the Chamber’s request to have Council
waive the CUP fees:
Vicki Seelig
Marilyin White
Scott Anderson
Emily Lo
Chris Oaks

Michael Shekeras noted that he has purchased the building the Chamber currently
occupies and would like to bring personal services into it.

TIME ONLY CUP FEE WAIVER FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TO RELOCATE TO A STREET FRONTAGE LOCATION ON BIG BASIN
WAY; FEE WAIVER IS VALID FOR SIX MONTHS; AND THE $4700 CUP

TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BUDGET. MOTION PASSED 5-0-0.
15. REVIEW INCENTIVES RELATED TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO
ENCOURAGE NEW BUSINESSES IN THE CITY
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct Staff Accordingly.
Director Livingstone presented the staff report.
Director Livingstone noted that on March 3, 2009, Council reviewed the fees
associated with Conditional Use Permits and expressed an interest in reducing the
cost, time, and uncertainty of obtaining a Conditional Use Permit. One of the ideas at
that meeting was to create incentives for new businesses in the City.
Mayor Page invited public comment
The following person requested to speak on this item:
Adam Rockland noted the cost of the CUP is not the issue; it’s the uncertainty and
that it takes 90 days to process the permit application. He stated the process needs to
be streamlined; he needs to know that he can come to Saratoga and get a quick turn-
around. In addition, he stated it is the general feeling of the public that the City is
only interested in bringing in retail.
Mayor Page closed the public comment.
Council discussed the various types of businesses they would like to see in the
community; creating incentives to encourage businesses, creating a list of businesses
that would expediting the CUP process, and ways to fund the CUP’s.
Council Consensus:
o Create an Adhoc Committee
o Adhoc Committee compiles a list of businesses that Council would like to see
in the community (Bakery, Family-style restaurant with parameters, Martial
Arts Studio, Baseball Hitting Cage, Petroglyph, high-end grocery market, Tai
Kwon Do.
34
11
o Provide incentives of $25,000 for the first five businesses that are interested in
coming into the community.
o Possibly requiring new businesses to occupy locations that have been vacant
for a significant amount of time.
Councilmember Nagpal and Councilmember Hunter volunteered to be on the Adhoc
Committee. They will compile a list of businesses that the community is interested in
and that the Council would like to provide incentives for, meet with City staff, and
bring this list back for discussion at the next Council meeting or a future Council
meeting.

the meeting of March 10, 2009, was properly posted on March 4, 2009.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM PUBLIC
No one requested to speak at this time.
JOINT MEETING AGENDA ITEM:
1. Discussion on the Update to the City’s Housing Element
1
39
RBF Consulting Representatives provided a slide presentation on the Housing Element Update noting
that every five years the City of Saratoga (City) is required by the State of California to update the
City’s Housing Element. Housing element law requires a quantification of each city’s existing and
projected housing needs and requires each to provide their “fair share” of regional housing needs;
which is accomplished in part, through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process.
The RHNA defines each city’s existing and future housing needs in a regional context. A city’s share
of the RHNA, as determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), is the projected
housing need that must be addressed in the Housing Element. An Administrative Draft of the
Housing Element is to be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) for review prior to the June 30, 2009 deadline.
ABAG’s draft RHNA for the period 2007 – 2012 allocates 292 new housing units to the City of
Saratoga with a breakdown based on the type of income categories.
When the planning period began at the beginning of 2007 the City of Saratoga had a credit of 8 units
in the moderate-income category and an additional 6 units in the above-moderate income category
that are currently under construction, which leaves a remaining need of 278 units.
The focus of discussion was on Chapter 4 – Policy Program.
Representative Michelle Kou presented recent legislation regarding SB 2 – Emergency Shelters; SB
520 – Reasonable Accommodations; AB 2348 – Adequate Sites; SB 1818 and AB 2280 – Density
Bonus; and AB 2634 – Extremely Low Income.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION:
o Professional Administrative (PA) Districts and the commitment to look at a Zoning District
and allowing by right Emergency Shelters in that Zoning District to be a permitted use, within
one year of adoption of the Housing Element.
Council reviewed the various commercial districts that could accommodate emergency shelters by
right, such as Neighborhood Commercial, Historic Commercial, and the other Commercial Districts
along bus routes.
City Attorney Richard Taylor noted that the City could create a new “Commercial District” that could
encompasses just the Prospect Area that would allow Emergency Shelters.
Council discussed the possibility of creating a new Commercial District that would allow Emergency
Shelters Permitted by Right Use. Council also discussed whether the PA Zone should be included or
excluded.
CONSENSUS:
o Look into allowing Emergency Shelters by Right in the Pa Zone or one of the Commercial
Districts.
2
40
Council Topics & Discussion Regarding Adequate Sites – SB 2348:
o Low Income Needs (need 158 units with 50% of the need provided on residential zoned only
sites).
o Odd Fellows site can accommodate additional 80 dwelling units fulfilling the 50% need on
sites zoned residential only.
o Mixed Use Overlay – maximum density standard of 20 units per acre or minimum of 16 units
per site with Density Bonus.
o Feasibility of 20 units minimum per one acre in Mixed Use Overlay Zone, on second floor
with setback requirements and other zoning constraints.
o Consideration of revising zoning language standards to accommodate 20 units minimum per
acre by allowing 3 stories and changing the 50% residential/commercial mix.
o Exemption for lots one acre or less to provide minimum 20 units per acre.
o Consideration of allowing affordable housing in all commercial mixed use or designation of
specific locations for affordable housing.
o Changing the character of commercial areas into housing areas.
o Underground parking with housing above.
o Concerns about decreasing commercial districts and adding affordable dwelling units.
o Ability to say “no” to a developer if City has a valid Housing Element through design review
process.
o If no certified Housing Element, developer has a ‘per se right’ to develop.
o State doesn’t require the city to build these affordable housing units; City has to have the
provision that the affordable units could be built.
o Need to have housing policies flexible – not rigid.
o Can include zoning language that zoning district would be reviewed to assure accommodation
of 20 affordable housing units per acre.
o Hillside properties with 10 acres that are sloped cannot do a secondary unit because the net lot
size is too small.
Mayor Page invited public comment.
The following person requested to speak:
Gary Hansen thanked the consultants for the language in Policy Action 4-4.2: Senior Housing and
Affordable Senior Housing, noting that it is significantly flexible in addressing the issues for senior
housing in the future.
CONSENSUS:
City needs total of 158 low income units in Mixed Use District with a minimum of 20 units per
acre.

41

NEXT STEPS:
o Recommendations from this evening’s meeting will be incorporated into the Draft Housing
Element
o Draft Housing Element will be submitted to HCD for compliance review
o HCD reviews for compliance and provides the City with a letter of suggested revisions to
comply with State law
o City will address HCD comment letter and consider third party comments
o Upon satisfying statutory requirements, HCD will provide a letter of “substantial compliance”
o Planning Commission will recommend adoption of the revised Housing Element to city
Council
There being no further discussion Mayor Page asked for a motion to adjourn the Study Session.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Macedonio Nunez DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: 2009 Pavement Management Program and 1B Project – Award of Construction
Contract.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Move to declare C.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. of Redwood City to be the lowest responsible bidder on
the project.
2. Move to award a construction contract to C.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. in the amount of $788,539.35
3. Approve additional work to contract in the amount of $134,000.00.
4. Move to authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract up to $77,460.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Sealed bids for the 2009 Pavement Management Program and 1B Project were opened on Thursday,
March 19th. A total of eleven contractors submitted bids and a summary of the bids received is attached
(Attachment 1). C.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. of Redwood City submitted the lowest bid of $788,539.35,
which is 19% below the Engineer’s Estimate of $972,989.35. Bid amounts were competitive and quite
favorable because of the economy. Staff has carefully checked the bid along with the listed references
and has determined that the bid is responsive to the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids dated February 3rd, 2009.
Staff recommends incorporating four additional street segments into the contract in the amount of
$134,000 because of the favorable bids received. Extending the current unit bid cost, C.F. Archibald
Paving, Inc. will still be the lowest bidder (Attachment 2). This additional amount will be fully covered
by the PMP budget, and will allow for the treatment of additional City facilities per the recommendations
of the City’s adopted Pavement Management Program.
The scope of work includes furnishing all materials, equipment, and labor to perform asphalt overlay
work and re-stripe segments of public roadway at various locations throughout the City. This contract
scope will also include the surface treatment of the City maintenance yard parking lot located at Glen
Brae Dr.
It is therefore recommended that C.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. be the lowest responsible bidder on the
project, and to award a construction contract to this firm in the amount of their bid.
Page 1 of 2
62
Page 2 of 2
Further, it is recommended that the Council authorize staff to execute change orders to the contract up to
an amount of $77,460 to cover any unforeseen circumstances and address additional work, which may
arise during the course of the project.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The funding for street resurfacing is included in the CIP budget. The Proposition 1B Bond funding
already received in the amount of $505,063.71 is included in the budget for this project.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
C.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. will not be declared the lowest responsible bidder and a construction contract
will not be awarded to that firm. The Council may make specific findings to declare another bidder to be
the lowest responsible bidder, or reject all of the bids and direct staff to re-bid the entire project.
However, staff does not believe that a lower bid will be obtained by re-bidding the project due to the
competitive nature of the current bids received and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 projects that will soon be out to bid through out the Bay Area.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
The contract will be executed and the contractor will be issued a Notice to Proceed. Work will begin as
soon as possible, and be completed by within 60 working days.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Michael Fossati, Asst. Planner DIRECTOR: John Livingstone, AICP
SUBJECT: Appeal of Design Review Application No. PDR08-0034: 14966 Sobey Road, which was
approved by the Planning Commission, to construct a new 5,754 square foot two-story home
and 1,724 square foot basement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Deny the appeal, thus affirming the Planning Commission Design Review approval issued on January 28,
2009.
DISCUSSION:
Project History
An application was submitted on October 7, 2008 to construct a new two-story single-family residence at
14966 Sobey Road. The Planning Commission reviewed the project and recommended approval at their
meeting of January 28, 2009. The new two-story residence has 5,754 square feet of floor area and 1,700
square feet of basement. The height of the proposed structure is 26 feet. The Commission heard from both
the Applicant’s representative and concerned neighbors. After the public hearing was closed, the
Commission discussed the project in detail and found in favor of the application (4 ayes, 1 noes, 1
abstain). The neighbor’s concerns included: 1) the project is out of character with the neighborhood, 2)
the project will cut off views of the hillsides, and 3) existing drainage may be adversely affected (please
refer to meeting minutes - Attachment #4).
The Commission’s approval included a permanent condition to not allow the planting of trees that reach
50 feet in height within the required rear yard. The tree planting condition is to protect the hillside views
of neighbors to the rear. The Commission also required the applicant to furnish a Final Landscaping Plan
prior to receiving permits. The Final Landscape plan shall increase landscape screening on the most
northwest corner of the lot and provide a small break in the landscaping further up the road for
maintenance access to the vineyard. The majority of the Commission stated that: 1) the criteria of Design
Review approval had been met, 2) the style of the residence is similar to homes nearby, 3) there is not an
unreasonable impact on views and privacy, 4) the perception of bulk is lessened by the articulation of the
design and placement into the hillside, and 5) the second story element represents only a small portion of
the home.
In the appeal application (Attachment #2), neighbors state that the proposed two-story, single-family
residence has a presence of a three-story structure that would set precedence in the area and would cut off
views of neighbors above and below the project site. Letters have been submitted by the appellant
71
2
(Attachment #5 and #6) for City Council review.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Not applicable.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposal for a new residence would be denied.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could also take one, or a combination of, the following alternative actions.
1. Approve the appeal, thus reversing the Planning Commission Design Review Approval issued
on January 28, 2009.
2. Direct the applicant to make additional changes and continue the public hearing to a date
certain.
3. Direct the applicant to make additional changes and refer the application back to the Planning
Commission.

PLANNING COMMISSION’S APPROVAL OF
DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION PDR08-0034
Jean; 14966 Sobey Road
Approval of a new two-story, single family residence with attached garage and
basement
WHEREAS, on January 28, 2009, following a duly noticed public hearing at
which time all interested parties were given a full opportunity to be heard and present
evidence, the City of Saratoga Planning Commission approved a Design Review
application (PDR08-0034) for the construction of a new 5,754 square foot residence on a
48,337 square foot parcel; and
WHEREAS, on February 11, 2009 an appeal of the Planning Commission
decision was filed by the appellants Rick and Colleen Pouliot, Subhash and Uma
Chowdary, and Diana and Richard Anderson; and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2009, the City Council held a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the appeal at which time all interested parties were given a full
opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Saratoga has considered the appeal
and all testimony and other evidence submitted in connection therewith;
Now, therefore be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby:
I. Deny the appeal and affirm the Planning Commission’s approval of the Design
Review application; and
II. Determines that the proposed project including a new two-story, single-family
residence is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303(c) New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures. This exemption allows for construction of a single-family home in an urban
area.
III. Determines that the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said
application for Design Review Approval, as consistent with the below General Plan
policies and the following findings specified in City Code Section Article 15-45.080 and
the City’s Residential Design Handbook:
73
General Plan Findings
The proposed project is consistent with all of the following General Plan Policies:
Land Use Element Goal 13 – The City shall use the design review process to assure
that new construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and the
adjacent surroundings. The proposed project incorporates earth tones and materials,
such as authentic slate and natural stone, that blend in well with the existing
surroundings. The project will also follow the natural hillside slope in order to minimize
the prominence of the structure while increase the compatibility with the natural terrain.
Land Use Element 1.1. – The City shall use the design review process to assure that the
new construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and the
adjacent surroundings. The proposed project has utilized policies and techniques from
the Saratoga Residential Design Handbook such as designing the structure to follow the
natural slope contours of site to minimize its perception of bulk, maximize energy
efficiency by fitting certain portions of the residence into the grade to reduce wind
exposure, and the use of landscaping to screen living areas most sensitive to privacy.
Design Review Findings
The proposed project is consistent with all of the following Design Review findings
stated in City Code Section 15-45.080:
(a) Avoid unreasonable interference with views and privacy. The project has been
designed in a manner that minimizes interference with neighboring views and privacy to
adjacent properties by doing the following:
a. Locating the second-story structure out of the direct line-of-sight of
neighboring properties.
b. Removal of second-story windows facing the north and south properties,
in order to protect neighboring privacy.
c. Situating the proposed home on a lower portion of the lot in order to
follow the contours of the site slope while protect the views, to the extent
feasible, of elevated properties located to the east.
d. The new construction is located toward the rear of the lot, providing an
increased front setback greater than the minimum required by the
Municipal Code.
e. To the east of the proposed building, the site slopes upward to dense
landscaping. The parcel to the north and south are well screened with
existing mature landscaping.
f. Extensive tree planting using existing and new landscape is proposed to
the south property line, adjacent to the access easement, in order to create
a visual screen between properties to the south.
74
(b) Preserve Natural Landscape. Seven protected trees will be removed. The
building has been located in an effort to minimize its impacts on all other existing
trees. The 30 existing trees potentially impacted by the project will be protected
during the construction process and incorporated into the formal landscaping plan.
Additionally, 39 new trees will be added to the site. The area to the west of the
residence will have a vineyard.
(c) Preserve Native and Heritage Trees. One four inch oak is proposed for removal,
as it is in conflict with the design. No Heritage trees are onsite. As conditioned,
39 new trees will be added to the site. Five of those trees will be of the Native
species.
(d) Minimize perception of excessive bulk. The project incorporates an earth tone
color pallet and high-quality materials into its design. These materials include
horizontal wood siding, natural stone veneer, and an authentic slate roof. These
colors and materials will reduce the perception of excessive bulk in the rural
environment. The size of the second story is located to the center of the building
footprint so that the majority of house footprint is a single story. The project has
been designed to follow the natural contour of the existing slope, thereby
minimizing the prominence of the structure and increase the compatibility with
the natural terrain.
(e) Compatible bulk and height. The proposed home with a height of 26 feet is
compatible in terms of bulk and height with the existing residential structures on
nearby lots. The varying rooflines, architectural detailing, and combination of
high-quality exterior materials will minimize the perception of bulk. The height
of the project is consistent with adjacent properties and will be alleviated by the
large setbacks and landscape screening.
(f) Current grading and erosion control methods. The applicant has submitted a
grading and drainage plan, which incorporates current grading and erosion control
methods. The geotechnical report and recommendations are included as a
condition of approval. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to require retention
of stormwater on site, to the maximum extent reasonably feasible.
(g) Design policies and techniques. The proposed project conforms to all of the
applicable design policies and techniques in the Residential Design Handbook in
that the design will follow the natural slope contours of site, utilize materials that
blend with the natural environment, use landscaping to screen living areas most
sensitive to privacy, protect neighbor’s privacy by proper site planning and
appropriate landscape, and fit certain portions of the residence into the grade to
reduce wind exposure and provide wind protection.
IV. After careful consideration of the site plan, architectural drawings, and other exhibits
submitted in connection with this matter, the exemption from CEQA is approved and
75
required findings being made that the application number of PDR08-0034 for a Planning
Commission Design Review Approval is hereby granted subject to the following conditions:

PROJECT DISCUSSION AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS
Architectural Style
The proposed two-story residence is most similar to a “Country Craftsman” architectural
style. The project features a covered entry porch and front poolside patio. The exterior
materials consist of horizontal wood siding, natural stone and authentic slate roofing.
The design features an above ground level resting on a partially revealed basement level
cut into the natural slope of the hillside. The home is characterized by a low-pitch gabled
and hipped roof line. The overhanging eaves, revealing rafters and braces emphasize
craftsman style.
Fireplaces
The proposed residence will include four fireplaces. Three of the fireplaces are gas and
one will be wood-burning. Per City Code, one wood-burning fireplace is allowed per
structure.
Trees
The City Arborist has approved the removal of four mulberry trees protected by City
Ordinance, as they are in conflict with the design and are in fair condition. The applicant
removed one Canary Island Date Palm and two pines without permits. The applicant has
applied and received an “After-the-Fact” permit for the removal of these trees. The
conceptual landscape plan indicates approximately 39 new trees to be planted. As a
condition of approval, the Final Landscaping Plan requires all new trees to be 24” box
size or greater. Five of those new trees will be of the Native variety, as defined in the
City Code.
Geotechnical Clearance
The project received Geotechnical Clearance from the City Geologist on November 18,
2008. Conditions provided by the City Geologist have been added to the Resolution.
Drainage
Roof drains will discharge water onto splash blocks. Additional water will either
percolate into the proposed landscaping or collect into service drains that follow the
natural terrain and flow onto the western portion of the site, where it will dissipate and
seep into the native soil.
Energy Efficiency
The project includes a hydronic under floor heating system. High efficiency insulation
will be installed in the walls and attic. All exterior windows and doors will incorporate
Low-E glass. The design incorporates covered porches and roof overhangs to create
shaded, cool areas. The building fits a portion of the structure (basement) into the
hillside to reduce wall exposure and provide wind protection. The proposed landscaping
and planting of trees on the north and south property line will form a wind buffer. All
planting will be irrigated with automatic water conserving irrigation. Energy Star®
appliances will be used throughout the home.
Neighbor Correspondence

87
Application No. PDR08-0034 / 14966 Sobey Road
The applicant obtained signed notification forms from the adjacent neighbors. Two of
the adjacent neighbors (18600 Rancho Las Cimas and 14976 Sobey Road) and one
additional property owner (14971 Quito Road) expressed the following concerns with the
project.
• 18600 Rancho Las Cimas - The property owner had concerns with the height of
the proposed new home, planting of tall trees, and the undergrounding of utilities.
The applicant constructed story poles to demonstrate the roof ridge of the project.
Once the proposed height was seen by the neighbor, his concern was eliminated.
Staff believes the view corridor impacts from trees would only occur in the rear
yard. As conditioned, no trees reaching 50-feet in height, at full maturity are
allowed to be planted in the required rear yard. The landscaping plan has no new
trees proposed in the rear yard.
An existing power pole is located on 14906 Sobey Road. Utility cables from this
pole run along the eastern portion of the project site (14966 Sobey Road). The
neighbor was informed that the City does not have the authority to require the
applicant to underground cables crossing their property and that the pole is not
located on the subject property.
• 14976 Sobey Road – The property owner expressed concerns regarding second
story privacy impacts, proposed guest parking on the private street, and
construction trucks on the owner’s property.
The applicant is proposing tree landscaping to be planted on the southern property
line and has omitted windows and balconies from the second story north and
south elevations to alleviate privacy concerns. The applicant has removed the
guest parking proposed on the private street and informed the neighbor that
construction trucks will not turn onto his property. Although the neighbor
expressed gratitude for the changes, he does not believe the applicant has
thoroughly addressed the issue of privacy.
• 14971 Quito Road – The property owner expressed concerns regarding the
height of the house and interference with views from their rear yard. Staff
believes the project will not unreasonably interfere with the view since the
applicant has met the allowable height limit and located the second-story portion
beyond the minimum second story setback requirement.

Application No. PDR08-0034 / 14966 Sobey Road
General Plan Findings
The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Policies:
Conservation Element Policy 6.0 – Protect the existing rural atmosphere of Saratoga
by carefully considering the visual impact of new development. The proposed project
incorporates earth tone colors and materials, such as authentic slate and natural stone,
that blend in well with the existing surroundings. The project will also follow the natural
hillside topography in order to minimize the prominence of the structure while increase
the compatibility with the natural terrain.
Land Use Element Policy 5.0 – The City shall use the design review process to assure
that the new construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and
the adjacent surroundings. The proposed project has utilized policies and techniques
from the Saratoga Residential Design Handbook such as designing the structure to follow
the natural slope contours of the project site to minimize its perception of bulk,
maximizing energy efficiency by locating portions of the residence into the grade to
reduce wind exposure, and utilizing landscaping to screen living areas most sensitive to
privacy.
Design Review Findings
The proposed project is consistent with all of the following Design Review findings
stated in City Code Section 15-45.080:
(a) Avoid unreasonable interference with views and privacy. The project has been
designed in a manner that minimizes interference with neighboring views and
privacy to adjacent properties by doing the following:
a. Locating the second-story structure out of the direct line-of-sight of
neighboring properties.
b. Removal of second-story windows facing the north and south properties,
in order to protect neighboring privacy.
c. Situating the proposed home on a lower portion of the lot in order to
follow the contours of the site slope while protecting the views, to the
maximum extent feasible, of elevated properties located to the east.
d. The new construction is located toward the rear of the lot, providing an
increased front setback greater than the minimum required by the
Municipal Code.
e. To the east of the proposed building, the site slopes upward to existing
dense landscaping. The parcels to the north and south are well screened
with existing and proposed landscaping.
7
89
Application No. PDR08-0034 / 14966 Sobey Road
f. Extensive tree planting using both existing and new trees is proposed on
the south property line, adjacent to the access easement, in order to create
a visual barrier between properties to the south.
(b) Preserve Natural Landscape. Seven protected trees will be removed. The
building has been located in an effort to minimize impacts on all other existing
trees. The 30 existing trees potentially impacted by the project will be protected
during construction and incorporated into the formal landscaping plan.
Additionally, 39 new trees will be added to the site. The area to the west of the
residence will have a vineyard.
(c) Preserve Native and Heritage Trees. One four inch oak is in conflict with the
design and proposed for removal. No Heritage trees are located onsite. As
conditioned, 39 new trees will be added to the site. Five of those new trees will
be of the native species, as defined per City Code.
(d) Minimize perception of excessive bulk. The project incorporates an earth tone
color pallet and high-quality materials into its design. These materials include
horizontal wood siding, natural stone veneer, and authentic slate. These colors
and materials will reduce the perception of excessive bulk in the rural
environment. The size of the second story is located to the center of the building
footprint so that the majority of house footprint is a single story. The project has
been designed to follow the natural contours of the existing slope, thereby
minimizing the prominence of the structure, and increasing the compatibility with
the natural terrain.
(e) Compatible bulk and height. The proposed home is compatible in terms of bulk
and height with the existing residential structures on nearby lots. The varying
rooflines, architectural detailing, and high-quality exterior materials will
minimize the perception of bulk. The height of the project is consistent with
adjacent properties.
(f) Current grading and erosion control methods. The applicant has submitted a
grading and drainage plan incorporating current grading and erosion control
methods. The geotechnical report recommendations are included as a condition
of approval. Furthermore, the project is conditioned to require retention of
stormwater on site, to the maximum extent reasonably feasible.
(g) Design policies and techniques. The proposed project conforms to all of the
applicable design policies and techniques in the Residential Design Handbook in
that the design will follow the sites natural contours, utilize materials that blend
with the natural environment, use landscaping to screen living areas most
sensitive to privacy, protect neighbor’s privacy by proper site planning and the
use of appropriate landscape, and locating portions of the residence into the grade
to reduce wind exposure and provide wind protection.

PUBLIC HEARING - ITEM NO. 1
APPLICATION #MOD08-0004 (410-10-003) Douglas, 18595 Avon Lane: The applicant
requests Modification to an approved Design Review application. Original February 14, 2007,
approval was for a 5,844 square foot, 24-foot, 10-inch tall single-family residence with related
site improvements. Proposed modifications include the construction of a new 15-foot tall
carport in the southeast corner of the lot and reductions in the amount of impervious site
coverage. The site is zoned R-1-40,000. (Chris Riordan)
Mr. Michael Fossati, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
• Distributed the color board from the original approval and advised that it is still applicable.
• Advised that the applicant is seeking approval of a Modification to a previously approved
Design Review application to allow the addition of a new 15-foot tall two-car carport and a
reduction in the amount of impervious coverage that includes the elimination of the
proposed pool and spa.
• Stated that the rustic design and materials of the carport would match those used on the
main residence.
• Explained that due to existing vegetation and the location of the proposed carport on the
lot, it would only be visible to two neighbors who share the common driveway. Both
neighbors are supportive.
• Said that no trees would be removed and/or affected by the project.
• Recommended that the Planning Commission approve the Modification to an approved
Design Review application.
Chair Cappello pointed out that the address numbers have been transposed on the draft
resolution.
Planner Michael Fossati said that the correct address is 18595.
Chair Cappello opened the public hearing for Agenda Item No. 1.
Mr. Steve Douglas, Bob Taylor Homes, Morgan Hill:
• Said that the staff report thoroughly covers this request.
• Stated that the high points of this request are the addition of a two-car carport. The carport
would be a 484 square foot structure within the 15-foot height limitations. It meets all the
required setbacks and is well beyond most of them.
• Added that the materials and colors are the same as the residence, which is nearing
completion.
• Said that existing and new landscaping and a wood fence that will be constructed will
screen the structure.
• Reminded that they have obtained the support of the neighbors.
• Advised that the maximum impervious coverage would be reduced to 33 percent from the
35 percent originally approved.
93
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 3
Commissioner Hlava said that one of the ways that the impervious coverage is being reduced
is by not constructing the swimming pool originally approved with the project. She cautioned
that if someone were to buy this home there would be no possibility of adding a pool because
the project is at its maximum.
Mr. Steve Douglas said that there is still roughly 750 square feet available. He added that he
frankly did not want a pool with a spec house. Not all potential buyers want a pool, especially
those with young children. It remains to be seen if the new owner will want a pool or not but
he said that, if so, they would have to come back.
Chair Cappello closed the public hearing for Agenda Item No. 1.
Commissioner Hlava said that she did not have any problems with this project at all. The
house is almost done and it is absolutely gorgeous. This carport will be a fine accessory
structure. She added that she could make all required findings.
Commissioner Kundtz said he wanted it on the record that in general he is an exponent of
carports when they are visible from the street. In this case, the carport is tastefully done and
there are no issues with neighbors having a view of it.
Commissioner Rodgers pointed out that even from Avon Lane, it is not that visible from the
road. She said that she too is skeptical about carports but looks at them one at a time. This
time she has no problem.
Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Hlava, seconded by Commissioner Zhao,
the Planning Commission approved Modifications (Application #MOD08-
0004) to a previously approved Design Review application (approved
February 14, 2007) to include the addition of a new 15-foot tall carport and
a reduction in impervious site coverage on property located at 18595 Avon
Lane, with the correction to the address on the resolution, by the following
roll call vote:
AYES: Cappello, Hlava, Kumar, Kundtz, Rodgers and Zhao
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
***
PUBLIC HEARING - ITEM NO. 2
Commissioner Zhao advised that she would need to recuse herself for this item as her
husband has a professional relationship with the architect for this project.
APPLICATION #PDR08-0034 (397-04-061) Jean, 14966 Sobey Road: The applicant
requests Design Review approval to construct a new two-story, single-family detached
94
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 4
residence, a three-car garage and a daylight basement. The project includes 3,246 square
feet of floor area at the main level, 1,555 square feet at the upper level and 953 square feet of
garage space, totaling 5,754 square feet. The basement will encompass an additional 1,724
square feet of living space. Per Saratoga Municipal Code (SMC) Section 15-06.090, the floor
area of basement will not be included in the allowable floor area calculation. The proposal
also includes removal of five Ordinance-sized trees (four Mulberries and one Canary Island
Date Palm). The Date Palm was removed prior to applying for a tree removal permit. All five
trees have been authorized for removal by the City Arborist. The applicant has submitted an
after-the-fact tree removal permit for the Date Palm. The maximum height of the proposed
residence will be not higher than 26 feet. The net lot size is 37,524 square feet and the site is
zoned R-1-40,000. (Michael Fossati)
Mr. Michael Fossati, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
• Provided a material and color board for this project.
• Advised that the applicant is seeking Design Review approval for a new two-story single-
family residence.
• Said that this project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA.
• Described the project as having a total FAR of 5,754 square feet including two floors, two
garages and an additional 1,700 square feet in basement space.
• Reported that five ordinance-size trees (four Mulberries and one Canary Island Date Palm)
would require removal.
• Added that the applicant has submitted a conceptual landscaping plan indicating the
planting of 39 new trees, which will be 24-inch box or larger and will include at least five of
them in native species.
• Said that the building materials include slate roof, horizontal wood siding and a natural
stone veneer. Colors are earth tone browns. The project meets all height and floor area
requirements. There are actually four fireplaces rather than the three shown on the staff
report. All are gas. There is no wood-burning fireplace.
• Explained that geotechnical clearance was granted and the project requires approximately
1,500 cubic yards of grading in order to fit the structure into the existing hillside.
• Reported that just prior to this meeting, a handout was provided by the applicant
demonstrating the green components of the project.
• Advised that neighbors within 500 feet were noticed. Some have expressed concern
about impacts on views and the size of the project. Their comments have been
incorporated into the staff report.
• Said that staff feels the General Plan and Design Review findings have been met and
recommends that the Planning Commission approve the exemption from CEQA and the
required findings to allow the project.
Commissioner Rodgers asked Planner Michael Fossati to explain the difference between a
conceptual and actual landscape plan.
Planner Michael Fossati explained that a conceptual landscape plan has the number of trees
and proposed landscaping for a site but not the exact tree names. Oaks, Redwoods and
irrigation were not called out exactly. However, it has been conditioned that 39 trees of 24-
inch box size or greater be planted with at least five of them being of a native species.
95
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 5
Commissioner Rodgers asked if they should be planted prior to building final.
Planner Michael Fossati replied yes.
Commissioner Rodgers asked staff to verify that the 20-foot high dining room walls have been
properly double counted as required by Code.
Planner Michael Fossati replied correct.
Chair Cappello opened the public hearing for Agenda Item No. 2.
Mr. Martin Oakley, Builder and Applicant’s Representative:
• Said that he was asked to represent the property owners who are on a planned three-
month vacation.
• Thanked Planner Michael Fossati for an excellent job on describing this project.
• Said that they have met the findings as best as possible and have designed a custom
home specifically for this property.
• Reported that the initial concept was to create a single-story residence containing a
majority of the living area together with a second story having two bedrooms and two
bathrooms.
• Said that because of the narrow width of the property and its length and slope, it was
virtually impossible to get the necessary living area on a single-story. A daylight basement
was designed to take advantage of the spacious front portion of their property to
accommodate their swimming pool and outdoor living area.
• Advised that Mr. and Mrs. Jean live in the house adjacent to the north of this property,
which was built about seven or eight years ago. They have since realized that they don’t
need a house of that size any more and that’s why they purchased this property over a
year ago in order to build somewhat of a smaller house.
• Added that they still have a requirement of being able to entertain their family. They have
a large family with a great number of grandkids that visit them frequently. That is the
primary reason for a house of this size and design.
• Assured that all of the exhibits and documents really describe this project to its full extent
and detail. Michael Fossati’s report has also described it in the same manner.
• Reminded that an additional page was submitted with energy efficient components
introduced in this home. It was submitted to demonstrate that they are going beyond what
is normally required in energy efficiency.
• Said that he hasn’t heard about any concerns of the project itself although he understands
some neighbors have concerns.
• Added that he would like an opportunity to address any issues raised after they speak.
Commissioner Rodgers asked about the two side-to-side, back-to-back fireplaces. They
appear to be kind of an innovative situation.
96
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 6
Mr. Martin Oakley said that one is in the library. The common wall to that is the master
bedroom. These two fireplaces are stand-alone fireplaces. They are back to back but they
are not see-through. Rather it is a standard, front-viewing fireplace.
Commissioner Rodgers pointed out that they have a chimney and the others do not. Is that
right?
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Explained that with gas-burning fireplaces there is no typical chimney involved. They
house the flues in a structure on the roof, which would normally be a chimney in the old
days for a wood-burning fireplace.
• Added that they do that for architectural reasons instead of having a flue sticking out of the
roof at the front elevation. If the flue is not visible from the front of the house (such as at
the back on the roof) then they just have the flue.
• Stated that there is no need for a wood-burning fireplace.
Commissioner Rodgers:
• Thanked Mr. Martin Oakley for putting together the energy saving plan and for being so
energy efficient.
• Said that she always loves looking at Mr. Oakley’s houses because he has such
interesting features in them.
• Reported that she was looking at the three stories and noticed that from the main floor
down to the basement level, there is a door to close off the basement.
• Stated that she assumes this is for energy conservation purposes so that heat can be kept
in the area below.
• Added that right next to it, there is a stair leading up to the bedroom area on the upper
floor.
• Said that it occurred to her that if a door was put there and if a way was found to close off
the dining room that is two-stories tall, either with glass or heavy curtains, they could also
isolate the second floor and keep that floor at a comfortable temperature for the occupants
and also saving energy.
• Said that she just wanted to put that idea out.
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Said that today’s home is quite a bit more open in both horizontal and vertical area.
• Explained that the reason they have a tall ceiling in the dining room is because it is
situated in the center of the house. If there is going to be a roof over that area that is in
common with the bedrooms upstairs, they basically just took advantage of that volume.
• Reminded that the roof is still going to be at the second floor level.
• Added that if they were going to make the dining room height single-story, it wouldn’t make
sense to have a two-story with a hole in the middle of it only to have a lower ceiling.
• Pointed out that this height has been double counted.
• Stated that the stairwell to the upstairs level is not meant to have a door. That is not a
conducive design.
• Said that as for the energy efficiency for heating and cooling the first and second floor, that
opening really has nothing to do with it. This house is hydronically heated on all three
97
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 7
levels and there are actually three air changers, which are the cooling units so there is one
for each level.
• Advised that when Mr. and Mrs. Jean are there alone, they basically will be living on the
main level. That is where their master bedroom is located.
• Said that the upstairs is mainly for when their kids come to visit. Therefore, the
temperature up there can be set at 55 or 60 or whatever they want. Same for the
basement.
• Reiterated that this whole house is controlled and it can be heated from room to room.
Commissioner Rodgers explained that she was thinking that the air exchange might alter or
decrease heated air.
Mr. Martin Oakley clarified that with hydronic heat there is no air exchange. It’s radiant heat.
He assured the Commission that this design is probably the most efficient that it could be as
far as heating and ventilation.
Commissioner Rodgers asked about the blown in insulation and recounted problems she
became familiar with while living back east.
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Explained that today’s product is not the same. In an optimum application 2 x 6 walls have
netting in place. A hole is poked into the wall and a two-inch tube is used to pump the
insulation into that cavity. The stud base is 16-inches wide and within one minute, the
entire cavity is filled with this insulation. There’s not a single crevice that is void.
Therefore, there is no air, nothing.
• Advised that the word “blown” is actually just how they install the insulation material.
Commissioner Rodgers asked if it is expanding foam.
Mr. Martin Oakley replied no, it’s not that either. That is one type. He added that the specs
for this product were provided to staff.
Commissioner Rodgers thanked him for providing that information. She added that if she
were the owner, she would reverse the pool ends, shallow and deep, so that the deep end is
further from the barbecue area in order to avoid soaking by cannonballs.
Mr. Martin Oakley said that is funny because he had proposed that in his plan and they asked
him to change it. He added that the placement of the barbecue area was dictated by the
space available.
Commissioner Hlava asked about the placement of the house. Does everything move forward
by 10 feet?
Mr. Martin Oakley said that the width of the house is the same as the existing single-story
house is now but slightly larger and does come forward by 10 to 12 feet. This was done to
minimize cut into the slope and to balance the pool elevation with the pad elevation for the
main floor.
98
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 8
Commissioner Hlava asked if this would be 10-feet further than other homes in the immediate
area.
Mr. Martin Oakley said it would be 10 to 12 feet closer to the front property line.
Commissioner Hlava said that she was concerned about the homes behind it. Is doing this
mean the house is further away from them?
Mr. Martin Oakley replied yes. He added that the closest home is 170 feet away. Moving the
structure forward is really insignificant as far as impact. He said that they specifically did it
because the design required it and it was the best design for that location. He added that it is
clear that on this lot the new house has to go where the existing one is. It was common sense
and it all came together.
Mr. Dennis McPharlin, Resident on Rancho Las Cimas Way:
• Said that he is a 30-year resident and loves this City. He hopes to be here another 20
years.
• Said that he knows Mr. Jean and has no problem with the house. The ridgeline has been
defined and that is something that he can live with.
• Advised that his concern is that’s his main view corridor.
• Stated that he is concerned that the planting scheme on the back be controlled with tree
sizes that won’t grow up so large as to obliterate his views. How is that conditioned?
• Asked the Commission how that provision can be protected for the long haul. He said that
he would not have the right to go onto someone else’s property.
• Explained that a second issue was a telephone pole that was relocated when Mr. Jean
built homes on Lots 2 and 3. At that time he was required to put the power lines
underground and relocate this phone pole. It is now in his view shed.
• Asked for a letter from the City Attorney stating that the City cannot require the
undergrouding of these phone lines with this project as he would like to see him finish the
undergrounding.
Commissioner Hlava asked Mr. McPharlin if he is assuming that for this current site, Mr. Jean
should have to underground the lines from that phone pole?
Mr. Dennis McPharlin said that Mr. Jean relocated that pole at the time he built the two other
homes. Why was it okay then but not now to require undergrounding?
Ms. Diana Anderson, Saratoga Resident:
• Explained that she is speaking on behalf of her husband who cannot speak for himself this
evening.
• Reported that they live directly above this property.
• Provided a photograph that shows what they will see and said that it is upsetting.
• Said that they have lived here for 40 years. They volunteer and are good citizens.
• Stated their objections, expressing their impression that this is a spec house.
99
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 9
• Asked why the builder has the right to build a monster three-story home, one block from
their single-story home? Why do they have the right to build a spec home at all?
• Said that homes in the upper area are mostly three levels but not in their area.
• Complained that she had been under the impression that the planners would be coming to
their home at 4 p.m. yesterday and they never came.
• Advised that they feel they have been left out of the planning process. They were never
visited and the planners should have visited.
• Added that they were unaware of this project until the orange netting went up. Even the
orange netting is deceiving. It is just on one side and should reflect all four sides.
• Said that they have a right to be upset and they hope the Commission considers their
concerns.
• Expressed concern about the potential of 29 new trees, which could cause them to lose
more of their views. That is adding injury to insult to add more damage to their view.
Commissioner Hlava said that the Commission and staff did drive past her house yesterday
afternoon but since the group was running late, she had suggested that it was not necessary
to stop. She expressed her regrets about that now but said that they did have pictures from
the Anderson property to look at.
Ms. Colleen Polio, Resident on Sobey Road:
• Said that she is an 18-year resident of this area.
• Said that she has concerns including the fact that an effectively three-story home is
incompatible with the neighborhood. The basement is completely visible and appears to
be a first story of a three-story house. It is out of character with the neighborhood of
mostly one to two-story homes.
• Added that the basement should not be visible and include three sets of double doors.
• Expressed concern about drainage at the lower level of the property and asked that the
City make sure that the upgrading and undergrounding of the drainage pipes be required.
• Asked that there be no negative impact from grading, no erosion of the road and no
damage to the private road by trucks with appropriate protections for the construction
process.
• Stated her concern about the post-effect application for the removal of the Palm tree that
was in the path of their new driveway. They seek forgiveness now rather than permission
and she recommended that there be sanctions for that action.
Mr. Subhash Chowdary, Resident on Sobey Road:
• Expressed appreciation for the time taken to make the site visit.
• Reported that he was not told about this project until his neighbor told him yesterday about
this three-story home.
• Pointed out that he will see it from his driveway and from his house.
• Questioned whether the private road could accommodate construction traffic.
Mr. Jack Mellati, Resident on Sobey Road:
• Explained that his home is the second house up the private road.
• Stated that his biggest concern is the bulkiness of this proposed three-story home.
100
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 10
• Said he has lived in his home for 10 to 11 years and has the best view of the whole area
from his home, as it is located on a knoll. It is pretty high up there.
• Opined that this is a very large home that does not go with the one to two-story
neighborhood.
• Reported that he too was unaware of this project until last night.
Mr. Martin Oakley, Project Representative:
• Said that in response to the first neighbor’s concern about the existing pole, it has been
explained that it is not Mr. Jean’s responsibility as far as determining what was to be
undergrounded at the time he built his home. It was up to PG&E.
• Pointed out that that pole in question affects five to six houses up the road in order to be
placed underground.
• Reminded that they have met the City’s design criteria with this design. They have used
everything in the design guidelines.
• Admitted that it is three stories. The basement is where it is because that is the lowest
point of the property. Again, it has been designed per Code. The front of this property is
only viewed by driving up the private road.
• Said that the neighbor to the left, Lot 6, can’t see the existing house because of existing
trees so that comment doesn’t make any sense.
• Said that as to Lot 6, that neighbor’s initial concern was standing on his putting green or
porch and seeing a house. There is a house there now.
• Added that they intend to fill in the gaps in screening.
• Assured that there is not a privacy issue. There is no privacy invasion or obstruction of
views.
• Said that he is not sure why some people were not notified but it may simply be because
their properties are not within the required 500-foot radius noticing area.
Commissioner Hlava asked Mr. Martin Oakley to discuss the issue of drainage in the vineyard
area.
Mr. Martin Oakley said that they are only lowering the existing pad area by two feet. There
are no alterations to any other grades. From the pool down is not touched. He added that
they are connecting to the catch basin.
Commissioner Hlava pointed out that private roads are always a concern. Is there going to be
bonding to ensure that any damage to the road as a result of construction would be taken care
of.
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Pointed out that this private road is in very good shape and was constructed using the
same standard as is used for a public road such as Sobey Road.
• Added that the house would be demolished by hand although they will still have to haul
away the debris, which will be recycled.
• Assured that if they damage the road, they will fix it.
101
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 11
Commissioner Hlava pointed out that from the road there is no screening at all. Would he
accept a condition that trees be planted around the vineyard?
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Replied yes.
• Added that the conceptual landscape shows the features and intentions of the design but
they are leaving it up to the City to tell them what they want provided.
• Continued that there is no planting on the existing slope proposed except, perhaps, for
some additional ground cover.
• Clarified that this is not a spec house but rather it was designed and is being built for the
Jeans.
Commissioner Rodgers asked if grapes could successfully be planted in the vineyard area
without providing further drainage on that portion of the property.
Mr. Martin Oakley:
• Said that it would be up to the wine growers to determine how best to use this area.
• Added that all he is doing with this project is trying to collect the water to one source.
• Assured that there is no way that water can drain and flood the road as this property is
lower than the road.
• Reiterated that by developing this property and planting vineyards, they are not altering
grades or drainage patterns whatsoever.
Commissioner Rodgers expressed concern over the differences between the basement
square footage and the proposed amount of cut.
Mr. Martin Oakley explained that the square footage of the basement represents area while
the cubic yards of cut represents volume. They are two different things. He added that a
licensed civil engineer calculates the grading amount.
Chair Cappello closed the public hearing for Agenda Item No. 2.
Commissioner Rodgers asked staff about the permanent condition requirement for maximum
tree heights.
Planner Michael Fosseti said that Condition 3 has a tree planting restriction to protect the view
of the rear neighbor.
Commissioner Kundtz asked if they should include a condition of approval covering any
damage to the road.
Commissioner Rodgers pointed out that the road is private.
City Attorney Bill Parkin added that issues of the private road are a private civil matter.
Chair Cappello asked for further comparison between a basement and a daylight basement.
102
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 12
Director John Livingstone explained that traditional basement is completely underground. A
basement on a hillside lot can have a portion that can be day lighted. This occurs on a sloped
lot, which provides the opportunity of having that daylight portion. He added that this was
added to the Code specifically for Hillside lots.
Commissioner Rodgers pointed out that instead of giving a three-story effect, many houses
are designed to step down a hill. Why was that not done here.
Director John Livingstone replied that a lot of variables that go into a design. He added that
when looking at elevations on paper, one is not seeing all of the dimensions of a project.
Commissioner Hlava:
• Expressed remorse for having recommended to not stop at the Anderson property during
the site visit.
• Asked if anyone feels that there is not enough information to proceed this evening.
• Said that she feels that the biggest scar on the landscape is the telephone pole.
• Added that she is not sure why it is such a big and tall pole. However, it is not under the
City’s control once a subdivision is done.
Chair Cappello responded that he believes there is enough information to assess each of the
findings.
Commissioner Kundtz said he too was okay.
Commissioner Kumar:
• Said that unfortunately he was unable to make the site visit as he was on business travel.
• Added that after listening to the neighbors he is struggling quite a bit.
• Stated that this is difficult terrain.
• Suggested a continuance to do another site visit.
• Advised that if a decision must be made tonight, he said he finds the home bulky and is not
in favor of it. However, he prefers a continuance to making that decision this evening.
Commissioner Rodgers:
• Said that she is fine with proceeding tonight
• Stated that it can be difficult when putting a new house into a neighborhood where there
are houses that have been there for 40 years or longer. It is difficult when the types of
houses built are changing.
• Added that there are statutory criteria that this Commission evaluates. The only ones that
might give some concern are those of bulk, height and compatibility with the neighborhood.
However, there are similar houses in the nearby area.
• Suggested that this home will be better for neighbors as it uses muted colors, a slate roof
and includes a landscape plan.
• Expressed support for conditioning a full landscape plan rather than just a conceptual plan.
• Said that concerns about bulk are addressed by articulating the house. She said that she
thinks that this design makes that effort. There is not an unreasonable appearance of
bulk.
103
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 13
• Stated that regarding views, she is willing to say that impacts will be quite reasonable and
perhaps less of an impact than neighbors might think.
• Said that while she has concerns about potential flooding on the lower level, she will trust
the Building Department to make sure the site drainage is properly handled.
• Pointed out that the evaluation criteria for spec houses are no different from that used to
evaluate a home being built for someone specific. Every house is looked at on an even
playing field.
• Advised that she can make all the findings for this project.
Commissioner Kundtz:
• Agreed.
• Said that he too supports requiring a full landscape plan within the approval resolution.
• Advised that he stood in neighbors’ yards. They have lovely homes on flat properties. The
Jeans are on a hillside.
• Stated that this proposed house is compatible with the neighborhood. There is not an
unreasonable impact on views and privacy. It is not excessively bulky.
• Concluded that he could support this proposal.
Commissioner Hlava:
• Said that the impression of bulk will not appear excessive when the house is built and it is
evident that the second floor is stepped in.
• Pointed out that there are larger homes in this neighborhood.
• Added that future owners will likely rebuild existing smaller homes in the neighborhood
with larger ones.
• Stated that this project is compatible with the neighborhood and is not excessive in bulk.
• Agreed that the pole is awful but there is nothing that can be done about that.
• Opined that there would not be much impact from this house on views and privacy.
• Supported the requirement for a landscape plan.
• Said that putting in screening trees across the existing driveway that currently provides
access to the vineyard area and creating a new access is a good idea.
• Asked if Condition 22 is to be recorded as permanent.
Director John Livingstone said that there is a natural break on the plan where there are no
trees or anything that could offer an alternative access to the vineyard.
Commissioner Kumar said that he has already had his say and is not comfortable with the
bulk and height or with the concerns raised about view and privacy impacts. Therefore he
cannot make the necessary findings to support this project.
Chair Cappello:
• Said that most points have been said already.
• Stated that on the perception of bulk, the design cuts into the hillside quite nicely. The first
floor is reduced by two feet as compared to the current house on site. The second floor
has half the square footage of the first floor.
• Added that the second story portion is visible but represents a small portion of this home.
• Reiterated that a one-dimensional drawing gives a false impression.
104
Saratoga Planning Commission Minutes of January 28, 2009 Page 14
• Said that there is not an “unreasonable” or excessive impact on views. This house is far
from neighboring homes.
• Said that he can make the findings and can vote for approval with the requirement of a
landscape plan with an access point to serve the vineyard.
Mr. Bill Parkin suggested adding a requirement, “for a final landscape and access plan subject
to approval by the Community Development Director,” and making Condition 3 a permanent
condition.
Chair Cappello said that sounds good.
Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Rodgers, seconded by Commissioner
Hlava, the Planning Commission granted Design Review Approval

DEPARTMENT: Finance & Admin Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Mary Furey DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: Proposed Fee Schedule Update for FY 2009/10
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold public hearing to review recommendations for proposed fee changes, provide direction, and approve
resolution amending the City’s Fee Schedule effective for Fiscal Year 2009/10.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City Council annually holds a public hearing to review recommendations and provide the community
an opportunity for input on proposed changes to the City’s Fee Schedule per California Government Code
Section 66018:
Prior to adopting an ordinance, resolution, or other legislative enactment adopting a
new fee or approving an increase in an existing fee to which this section applies, a local
agency shall hold a public hearing, at which oral or written presentations can be made,
as part of a regularly scheduled meeting.
After holding the public hearing the Council will consider adopting a resolution which approves changes
to the FY 2009/10 Fee Schedule. Upon Council approval of the proposed fee schedule and adoption of
the “Resolution Establishing a Schedule of Fees”, staff will publish the FY 2009/10 Fee Schedule to be
effective July 1, 2009.
Staff is recommending the addition or revision of a number of administrative, development, advertising,
and security deposit fees. Recommendations are based on a review of current fees and on requests from
staff and users. Proposed fee changes are based on revised actual costs or on fees in comparable local
cities, and are discussed in more detail in the following section.
Administrative Fees
There are several recommendations for additions to the Administrative section of the Fee Schedule. In
the effort to offer “green” City business services and increase staff efficiency, a no-charge Notification
Services item is included in the Fee Schedule. For ongoing notification requests, such as those for:
• City Council and Planning Commission agendas
• Public notices related to adoption or amendment of the General Plan or a Specific Plan
• Adoption or amendments of the Zoning Ordinance

• Documents pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
128
or any other meeting agendas, public notices, and/or documents that are regularly posted on the
City’s website for public notification and review, the City Clerk will now email to requestors an
internet link to the agenda or document on the City’s website when updated with scheduled meetings and
related documents. Paper copy notifications will no longer be available, which in turn eliminates the
copy and mailing costs to requestors.
The addition of a security deposit requirement is recommended for the City’s audio-visual equipment.
Occasionally the equipment is loaned out to community groups, and to ensure both proper care of the
equipment and that all pieces and parts are returned after use, staff is recommending a security deposit of
$250 be added to the fee schedule.
An additional fee is proposed for check replacements. On occasion, staff is requested to reissue checks to
a payee multiple times. This costs the City staff time. Therefore, a fee would help to push this cost back
onto the payee and encourage they take due diligence in cashing their check. Staff is recommending there
be no charge for the 1st check replacement, with $25 for each subsequent request (for the same check).
With the establishment of a standard billing rate formula which accounts for direct and indirect costs of
staff time, the City’s FY 2009/10 hourly billing rates are now included in the fee schedule.
Community Development
The Community Development Department reviews its fees each year and is recommending several
updates to the User Fee Schedule:
Staff is recommending a fee increase for Tree Permits from $75 to $100 and a correlating increase in the
After-the-Fact Tree Permits from $315 to $340 (the After-the-Fact Tree Permit is comprised of a Tree
Permit fee and two hours of CDD Service Rate time). This would bring Saratoga’s Tree Permit fees
closer to other neighboring cities rates, where the Tree Permit Fees range from $110 to $150. The
variance from the other cities fees are in some cases a result of a higher fee for the first tree (i.e. $150),
and a reduced fee for subsequent trees ($75).
The Development Department would also like to add a Grading Exception Application Review Fee of
$1800 to the fee schedule this year, with the flat fee based on the standard estimated staff time to prepare
for and conduct a planning commission hearing meeting, similar to the fence application reviews.
The Water Heater Replacement permit fee is currently set at $45 and is singularly lower than the other
standard building permit fees set at $78. Staff is recommending this fee be brought up to the same
amount as other permit fees to align the fee with the estimated cost of staff time for inspections by the
City’s Building Inspectors.
Effective January 1st of 2009, the State required cities to collect a State Building Standards Fee set at $4
per $100,000 in building valuation to fund the State’s Building Code adoption process. This fee is then
submitted to the State on a quarterly basis. As this fee was a State mandate effective January 1, 2009, it
has already been established as part of the fees collected when permits are issued. Staff recommends
including this new fee in the Fee Schedule for documentation and clarity for applicants.
Public Works
The Public Works Department reviewed their fees and recommend Engineering Fees remain at the current
level for the upcoming FY 2009/10 fee schedule.
Recreation & Facilities Department
129
Recreation has removed the inside full color page advertisement rate as the guide no longer prints inside
pages in color, and is requesting the addition of two partial page rates for the full color glossy inside back
cover: a one-third page rate for $550, and a two-thirds page rate for $1,000 (the full page rate is $1,300).
The recreation guide provides cost effective advertising as it comes out four times a year and is mailed to
all Saratoga residents, as well as posted on the City website. The partial page ads offer more affordable
advertising to the community’s small business owners.
Facilities staff is recommending a Civic Theater Security Deposit of $500 be added to the fee schedule.
The theater has a significant amount of lighting fixtures and audio-visual equipment in the building, and
staff would like to emphasize the need for proper care and conduct when using the building through a
costly security deposit.
Recreation class & program fees are adjusted and published as part of the quarterly brochure to account
for ongoing program cost increases and therefore are not included in the annual user fee update, whereas
parks and facility rental fees are assessed and recommended for adjustment during the annual user fee
update, if appropriate. Staff believes park and facility rental fees are currently set at appropriate levels
and do not recommend increases for FY 2009/10.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Staff reviewed current fees and associated expenditures, and concluded that the proposed revisions to the
Fee Schedule are necessary for the City to maintain its approach toward a cost recovery position for
provided services. The recommended fee increases are directly related to either increases in costs that
support the related functions, a revised assessment of the time spent providing the service, or requested
revisions to advertising, rental, and security deposit fees. Staff has maintained proper documentations to
support and justify the proposed increases and new fees.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City would fall below the current cost recovery level.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION
Staff will update the current Fee Schedule for FY 2009/10, to be effective July 1st, 2009.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Brad Lind & Isaac Bowers DIRECTOR: John Livingstone
________________________________________________________________________
SUBJECT: Proposed ordinance (1) modifying a State map identifying the areas in the City
considered to be very high fire hazard severity zones and adopting it as the City's
Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map; (2) updating sections of the City’s
Municipal Code which reference the City’s current hazardous fire area map to ensure
they reference the new Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map; and (3) adopting
revisions to Article 16-60 (“Early Warning Fire Alarm System”) of the City Code
specifying enforcement procedures for violations of that article.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
(1) Open the public hearing and consider all testimony received;
(2) Introduce and waive the first reading of the attached ordinance; and
(3) Direct staff to place the ordinance on the consent calendar for adoption at the April
15, 2009 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND & SUMMARY:
State law requires the State Director of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to provide
cities with a map identifying the areas in the city that the CAL FIRE Director has determined to be
very high fire hazard severity zones (the “State Map”). The City recently received the proposed
State Map for Saratoga. (The area identified by the State is shown in red on Attachment B.)
Properties within the very high fire hazard severity zones delineated on the State Map are subject to
the provisions in the California Government Code sections 51175 through 51189. These sections of
the Government Code contain requirements to promote fire safety. Many of these are similar to
requirements in the current City Code. (Independently of the State law the City had earlier adopted
a map showing fire hazard zones and imposing design and building standards reflecting the
increased risk in those areas. The existing City Map is included as Attachment C.) Attachment D
summarizes the requirements of the State law and compares them to the existing requirements of the
City Code. Attachment A is an ordinance that would implement the requirements of State law.
1
The City is required to adopt the State Map with any modifications it deems necessary. Staff
consulted with the Saratoga Fire District and the County of Santa Clara Fire Department to consider
164
2
whether any modifications would be in order and the Chief agreed that the map should be modified
to include all areas in Saratoga previously designated by the City as high fire hazard severity zones.
Accordingly, the attached ordinance would modify the State Map in that way and adopt the modified
map as the City’s Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map. The areas shown for addition to those
identified by the State are shown in orange on Attachment B. (If Attachment B is approved by
Council, a revised version will be prepared showing the entire area in a single color.) The proposed
ordinance would also update several sections of the City Code which currently reference the City's
current hazardous fire area map to ensure they reference the new Wildland-Urban Interface Fire
Area Map.
Finally, the proposed ordinance would adopt revisions to Article 16-60 (“Early Warning Fire
Alarm System”) of the City Code specifying enforcement procedures for violations of that article.
The amendment would allow the Chief of the Fire District in which a violation occurs to notify the
property owner in violation and to record a notice of the violation with the County Recorder if the
violation is not cured. The Board of the Saratoga Fire District would hear appeals of such
enforcement actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The ordinance is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15061(3) because it is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to
projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Here it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment and therefore the activity is not subject to CEQA.
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue this item to another City Council meeting to allow staff to incorporate comments
from this meeting and return with an amended ordinance as necessary.
FISCAL IMPACTS: No significant fiscal impacts.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
A copy of the State Map and the proposed modifications was posted on the City’s website on
February 26, 2009.
Notice of this meeting was published in the Saratoga News on March 17, 2009.
As required by State law, after the adoption of this Ordinance a copy of the Wildland-Urban
Interface Fire Area Map will be posted in the City of Saratoga’s Building Department and notices
identifying the location of the map will be posted at the offices of the recorder, assessor and
planning agency.

ORDINANCE NO. __________
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AND AMENDING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA’S
RECOMMENDED WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE FIRE AREA MAP TO REPLACE
THE CITY’S EXISTING HAZARDOUS FIRE AREA MAP, MAKING CONFORMING
AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CODE, AND ESTABLISHING SUPPLEMENTAL
ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES FOR THE EARLY WARNING ALARM SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY CODE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings.
The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On April 1, 2009, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing
at which all interested persons had an opportunity to be heard to consider
the adoption of new (1) very high fire hazard severity zones for the City of
Saratoga in accordance with California Government code sections 51175
through 51189 and (2) procedures for enforcement of the City’s early
warning alarm system requirements.
B. California Government Code sections 51175 through 51189 require the
City of Saratoga to designate by ordinance very high fire hazard severity
zones within its jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the
Director of Forestry and Fire Protection.
C. California Government Code Section 51189(c) allows local agencies to
make amendments to the recommended very high fire hazard severity zones
based on substantial evidence regarding local conditions.
D. The City of Saratoga has previously adopted a Hazardous Fire Area Map
(the “City Fire Map”) designating hazardous fire areas. All new single-
family dwellings, commercial structures and community facilities within
those designated hazardous fire areas are required to install an early warning
fire alarm system. All existing single-family dwellings, commercial structures
and community facilities within those designated hazardous fire areas which
are expanded by fifty percent or more in floor area are also required to install
an early warning fire alarm system. In addition, the installation of an early
warning fire alarm system may be required when existing commercial
structures or community facilities of any size located with those designated
Ordinance No. _____ 1
167
hazardous fire area are remodeled or their use is changed.
E. The City of Saratoga’s Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area is defined as all
areas within the City designated as hazardous fire areas on the City Fire Map.
All new buildings and all existing buildings modified to increase the gross
floor area (with exceptions for new non-habitable structures accessory to
single family residences that have a gross floor area of 500 square feet or less
and for one-time additions to existing buildings made after January 1, 2008
that do not exceed 500 square feet in gross floor area) located in the City’s
Wildland-Urban Interface Area are required to provide automatic sprinkler
systems.
F. Based on evidence supplied by the Saratoga Fire Protection District and the
Santa Clara County Fire Department, the City Council hereby makes the
following findings supporting the inclusion in the new Wildland-Urban
Interface Fire Area Map of areas which were not identified as very high fire
hazard severity zones by the State but which are identified as hazardous
fire areas on the City Fire Map.
1. The City of Saratoga experiences low humidity, high winds and
warm temperatures during the summer months which creates
conditions particularly conducive to the ignition and spread of grass,
brush and structure fires in the areas identified on the City Fire Map.
In addition, the presence of heavy vegetation in those areas increases
the potential for the rapid spread of any fire which may start,
particularly during seasonal dry spells.
2. The areas identified on the City Fire Map are within or immediately
adjacent to hillsides where fires would be difficult for emergency
responders to access and control or prevent from spreading to
surrounding structures or wildland areas.
3. These exceptionally hazardous conditions, potential response delays
and compromised fire suppression capabilities cumulatively mandate
the inclusion of these areas in the new Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area Map.
G. The existing City Code requires, under various circumstances specified in
the Code, installation and continued operation of an early warning alarm
system. This ordinance would ensure effective operation of the system on a
citywide basis by delegating to the City’s Fire Districts the authority to
enforce the alarm system requirements and by establishing an appeal
procedure for those enforcement proceedings.
Ordinance No. _____ 2
168
H. The existing City Code prescribes the method of use, properties,
performance, or types of materials used in the construction, alteration,
improvement, repair, or rehabilitation of a building, structure, factory-built
housing, or other improvement to real property, including fixtures,
architectural and design functions in areas subject to the City Fire Map.
This ordinance amends the City Fire Map but does not amend the existing
prescriptions.
I. The ordinance governs buildings standards in the City of Saratoga. It does
not modify the boundaries of any established zoning district, or impose,
remove or modify any regulations concerning the use of buildings,
structures, and land as between industry, business, residences, open space,
including agriculture, recreation, enjoyment of scenic beauty, use of natural
resources, or any other purposes. It does not impose, remove or modify any
regulations concerning signs and billboards; the location, height, bulk,
number of stories, and size of buildings or structures; the size and use of
lots, yards, courts, or other open spaces; the percentage of a lot which may
be occupied by a building or structure; the intensity of land use;
requirements for offstreet parking and loading; the establishment and
maintenance of building setback lines; or the creation of civic districts
around civic centers, public parks, public buildings, or public grounds.
Section 2. Adoption.
A. Map Adoption. The Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map, identified as
Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is
herby designated as the map delineating very high fire hazard severity zones
for the City of Saratoga. A copy of this map, properly attested, shall be
maintained in the Office of the city Clerk of the City of Saratoga.
B. Code Amendment. The Saratoga City Code is amended to read as follows.
Any text inserted by this amendment is indicated in bold, double-underlined
font (example); any text deleted by this ordinance is indicated in strikeout
font (example); text in standard font is unchanged by this ordinance.
1. Article 14-25.110 of the Saratoga City Code is amended as follows:
14-25.110 Early warning fire alarm system.
(a) Findings and purpose. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
(1) Utilization of current technology in the detection and warning of
Ordinance No. _____ 3
169
fire will significantly enhance the level of protection from such hazard
while at the same time maximizing the effectiveness of existing
equipment and facilities for emergency responses.
(2) Certain areas of the City have been designated as the Wildland-
Urban Interface Fire Area hazardous fire areas on the City’s
Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area Map, which are defined as
any land covered with grass, grain, brush or forest which is so situated
or is of such inaccessible location that a fire originating upon such land
would present an abnormally difficult job of suppression or would
result in great and unusual damage through fire or resulting erosion.
The response time of emergency equipment to calls for aid in the
Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area hazardous fire areas is
impaired due to the nonavailability of access to some portions of such
areas, the existence of steep, narrow streets and roadways located in
such areas, the lack of connecting streets and roadways in such areas,
and the unusual topography of such areas. Further, the presence of
heavy vegetation in the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area
hazardous fire areas increases the potential for the rapid spread of any
fire which may start in such areas, particularly during seasonal dry
spells.
(3) A substantial portion of the new single-family dwellings being
constructed in the City are larger structures, typically in excess of five
thousand square feet with three-car garages. By reason of their size, a
fire in these structures can be more difficult to extinguish.
(4) The risk of fire to persons and property within multi-family
dwellings and structures containing multiple sleeping units is
proportionately greater because of the higher density of occupants.
Immediate warning of fire and notification to the Fire District of the
existence and location of fire will serve to reduce the possibility of
death, injury and property damage.
(5) Because commercial buildings and community facilities are
public gathering places, the public health and safety risks of fire are
particularly acute. Immediate warning of fire and notification to the
Fire District of the existence and location of fire will serve to reduce
the possibility of death, injury and property damage in these structures.
(6) The public safety and welfare may necessitate installation of an
early warning fire alarm system in a commercial structure or
community facility, depending upon the facts and circumstances to be
Ordinance No. _____ 4
170
evaluated by the Fire Chief in each individual case.
(7) It is the goal and policy of the City, as set forth in the Safety
Element of the General Plan, to require installation of an early warning
fire alarm system as hereinafter provided in this Section. The purpose
of this Section is to implement such goal and policy.
(b) Mandatory requirement for installation of alarm system. As a condition
for tentative map approval under this Chapter, the advisory agency shall
require the installation of an early warning fire alarm system in accordance
with Article 16-60 in Chapter 16 of this Code, and the connection of such
system to a monitoring station in such manner as may be specified by the
Saratoga Fire District, in each of the following cases:
(1) All new single-family dwellings, commercial structures and
community facilities located within the Wildland-Urban Interface
Fire Area designated hazardous fire area.
(2) Any existing single-family dwelling, commercial structure or
community facility which is expanded by fifty percent or more in floor
area and is located within the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area
designated hazardous fire area.
(3) All new single-family dwellings, commercial structures and
community facilities having a floor area in excess of five thousand
square feet.
(4) Any existing single-family dwelling, commercial structure or
community facility which is expanded by fifty percent or more in floor
area which, after such expansion, will exceed five thousand square feet
in floor area.
(5) All new multi-family dwellings and other new structures having
multiple sleeping units including, but not limited to, hotels, motels,
apartments, condominiums or other community housing projects,
townhouses and nursing homes.
(6) Any existing multi-family dwelling or other structure having
multiple sleeping units such as described in subsection (b)(5) of this
Section, which is expanded by fifty percent or more in floor area.
(c) Discretionary requirement for certain existing commercial structures and
community facilities. Where an existing commercial structure or community
Ordinance No. _____ 5
171
facility is remodeled or the use thereof is changed, and such commercial
structure or community facility either: (1) has a floor area in excess of five
thousand square feet, or (2) regardless of size, is located within the
Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Area designated hazardous fire area, then
the Chief of the Fire District having jurisdiction over the project may require
the installation of an early warning fire alarm system in accordance with
Article 16-60 in Chapter 16 of this Code, and the connection of such system
to a monitoring station in such manner as may be specified by the Saratoga
Fire District. If the requirement to install an alarm system is imposed, it shall
be made a condition of tentative map approval under this Chapter. The
determination by the Fire Chief shall be based upon any one or more of the
following considerations:
(1) An occupant load increase of fifty percent or more.
(2) New commercial cooking operations.
(3) Hazardous materials storage for which a permit is required.
(4) The principal use involves the care or supervision of building
occupants such as day care facilities for children or senior citizens.
(d) Determination of floor area and fifty percent expansion.
(1) As used in this Section, the term “commercial structure” includes,
but is not limited to, office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, repair
shops, and industrial buildings, and the term “community facility”
includes, but is not limited to, schools, theatres, churches, meeting
halls and conference centers.
(2) The determination of floor area is as described in Chapter 15.
(3) For the purposes of this Section, any expansion shall be considered
as equaling or exceeding the fifty-percent limit where the work of
construction or improvement is done at different time intervals
requiring two or more building permits, within a period of five years
after completion of the first improvement, where although each is for a
project encompassing an expansion of less than fifty percent of
increased floor area, but when combined with other expansions during
the five-year period of time increase the amount of floor area of the
structure by fifty percent or more of that amount which existed
immediately prior to the commencement of the first of the several
expansions.
Ordinance No. _____ 6
172
2. Article 15-80.090 of the Saratoga City Code is amended to read as
follows:
15-80.090 Early warning fire alarm system.
(a) Findings and purpose. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
(1) Utilization of current technology in the detection and warning of
fire will significantly enhance the level of protection from such hazard
while at the same time maximizing the effectiveness of existing
equipment and facilities for emergency responses.
(2) Certain areas of the City have been designated as the Wildland-
Urban Interface Fire Area hazardous fire areas on the City’s

result in great and unusual damage through fire or resulting erosion.
The response time of emergency equipment to calls for aid in the
hazardous fire areas is impaired due to the nonavailability of access to
some portions of such areas, the existence of steep, narrow streets and

(4) The risk of fire to persons and property within multi-family
dwellings and structures containing multiple sleeping units is
proportionately greater because of the higher density of occupants.
Immediate warning of fire and notification to the Fire District of the
existence and location of fire will serve to reduce the possibility of
death, injury and property damage.
(5) Because commercial buildings and community facilities are

public gathering places, the public health and safety risks of fire are
particularly acute. Immediate warning of fire and notification to the
Fire District of the existence and location of fire will serve to reduce
the possibility of death, injury and property damage in these structures.
(6) The public safety and welfare may necessitate installation of an
early warning fire alarm system in a commercial structure or
community facility, depending upon the facts and circumstances to be
evaluated by the Fire Chief in each individual case.
(7) It is the goal and policy of the City, as set forth in the Safety
Element of the General Plan, to require installation of an early warning
fire alarm system as hereinafter provided in this Section. The purpose
of this Section is to implement such goal and policy.
(b) Mandatory requirement for installation of alarm system. As a condition
for the granting of design review approval or a use permit or variance under

Ordinance No. _____ 16
182
Section 3. CEQA Compliance.
The ordinance is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15061(3) because it is covered by the general rule that CEQA
applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on
the environment. Here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and therefore
the activity is not subject to CEQA.

The City Council declares that each section, sub-section, paragraph, sub-paragraph,
sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance is severable and independent of every
other section, sub-section, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance. If any
section, sub-section, paragraph, sub-paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase are held
invalid, the City Council declares that it would have adopted the remaining
provisions of this ordinance irrespective of the portion held invalid, and further
declares its express intent that the remaining portions of this ordinance should remain
in effect after the invalid portion has been eliminated.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: John F. Livingstone, AICP DIRECTOR: John F. Livingstone, AICP
SUBJECT: Review incentives related to Conditional Use Permits to encourage new
businesses in the City
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct Staff Accordingly.
REPORT SUMMARY:
On March 3, 2009 the City Council reviewed the fees associated with Conditional Use Permits
and expressed interest in reducing the cost, time, and uncertainty of obtaining a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP). This item was place on the March 18, 2009 City Council agenda. At this meeting
the City Council discussed various incentives that included allowing certain businesses to have
the fees associated with a Conditional Use Permit reimbursed by the City. The City Council also
created an ad-hoc committee comprised of Council members Jill Hunter and Susie Nagpal to
review specific types of uses that the incentives could be applied to. The Council recommended
that $25,000 be made available for five new businesses.
The Committee recommended that the incentives be made available for the next 18 months to the
first five businesses that receive CUP approval from the list below. The intention was to allow
any combination of the below listed businesses and to telegraph the message that Saratoga is
interested in these types of businesses in our commercial districts throughout the city. The
Committee also created an “undesignated” category to allow for the possibility of a business,
consistent with the Council’s efforts to vitalize the commercial areas, to come into the City of
Saratoga even if it does not fit into one of the specific categories listed below. This business
would need to come to the City Council prior to submitting for a Conditional Use Permit for the
incentive recommendation.
The following are the specific uses recommended by the Committee:
• Family Style Restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner
• Bakery
• Grocery store
• Wine Tasting
Page 1 of 2

Page 2 of 2
• Ice Cream or Yogurt store
• Art and Crafts Instructional Activities including but not limited to art lessons or martial
arts instruction
• Undesignated
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The City Council has approximately $43,300 remaining in their discretionary fund. Funding for
an incentive program would reduce the funds in this account by $25,000 which would reduce the
fund to $18,300.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council could recommend maintaining the existing Conditional Use process with no
incentives.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Direct the City Manger to reimburse any business that meets the recommended criteria and
obtains an approved Conditional Use Permit.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Notice of this meeting was properly posted.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Crystal Morrow DIRECTOR: Barbara Powell
Administrative Analyst II Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Community Garage Sale
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and provide staff with direction on the budget for the community garage sale this
year and in future years.
BACKGROUND:
In May 2008, the Council directed staff to host a community garage sale in conjunction with the
2009 annual West Valley Collection and Recycling cleanup, which takes place from July 13,
2009 to September 18, 2009. The Council hoped the citywide garage sale would serve as an
opportunity to build community and increase the amount of waste Saratoga diverts from
landfills. The garage sale is currently schedule for July 25, 2009.
Initially, staff was asked to coordinate the garage sale in partnership with the Town of Los
Gatos. However, Los Gatos indicated that it would not be able to collaborate with Saratoga. Los
Gatos staff wanted to be sensitive to the many participants from the Los Gatos/ Monte Sereno
garage sale who feel the event is already too large. Additionally, Los Gatos staff is anticipating a
significant reduction to the program’s budget. Other neighboring cities that hold city-coordinated
garage sales were also unwilling to include Saratoga in their citywide garage sales. In our
discussions, staff found that many jurisdictions are either eliminating or reducing the scale of
their community garage sales, because these events are both costly and staff intensive.
Staff researched the cost of independently coordinating a citywide garage sale and found that an
event of this type will cost approximately $5,000. This covers all of the necessary advertising
expenses, including:
- Advertisements in the Saratoga News to encourage residents to register for the garage
sale
- Advertisements in all of the Silicon Valley Community Newspapers aimed at attracting
members of the public to Saratoga garage sales on the day of the event
- Classifieds in the San Jose Mercury News
- Printing flyers, posters, and registration forms
This estimate does not include other expenses, such as staff time spent:
Page 1 of 2
206
Page 2 of 2
- Managing registration
- Developing and distributing flyers/advertisements
- Compiling garage sale locations
- Managing traffic issues on the day of the event
- Updating the City website with event information
REQUESTED DIRECTION:
Before moving forward with the community garage sale, staff is seeking Council direction on the
following:
1. Council approval to use Community Event Funds, or another source in the City’s budget,
to cover the expenses of the 2009 community garage sale.
2. Council direction on how to fund the garage sale in future years
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The out-of-pocket expense of the community garage sale is expected to be $5,000.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Rather than holding a citywide garage sale, the Council could select another less-costly option to
help divert waste from landfills. One alternative is to partner with a local organization(s) to
coordinate donation collections from residences or at a central location in the City.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
Implement Council direction.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2009 AGENDA ITEM: ______
ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: John Cherbone DEPT HEAD: John Cherbone
SUBJECT: Village Streetscape Improvements – Review of Conceptual Design
______________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Receive report and provide direction to staff regarding the Village Streetscape Conceptual
Design Plans prepared by Gates and Associates.
2. Approve Amendment to the Professional Services Contract with Gates and Associates in the
amount of $13,800 for increased scope of work.
3. Determine news rack design option.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Background:
In 2004, the City entered into an agreement with the State (Caltrans), which relinquished the Village
sidewalks and the corresponding right-of-way to the City. The agreement also provided funding
in the amount of $711,000 to perform needed infrastructure improvements and in return the City
assumed maintenance responsibility and liability of the sidewalks.
In early 2008, the City applied for and was awarded a $425,000 safety enhancement grant for the
Village, through VTA, to perform pedestrian safety enhancements.
On August 6, 2008, the City Council awarded a professional services contract to Gates and
Associates for design work connected to the pedestrian safety enhancement grant and general
beautification improvements in the Village.
Included in the contract with Gates and Associates was the facilitation of two public meetings to
collect input on the project. To assist and provide leadership with the process the City Council
appointed a two member council ad hoc consisting first of Councilmember Page and
Councilmember Hunter, and more recently Councilmember Nagpal who took Councilmember
Page’s place when he became Mayor.
The first public meeting held on October 27th was primarily aimed at collecting ideas from the
public on what improvements they envisioned the Village needed. The meeting was invaluable
208
and helped the design team steer the conceptual design that was presented at the second public
meeting held on February 2nd.
Discussion:
The conceptual design, which will be presented by Gates and Associates, is a collaborative plan
that combines public input and parameters of the pedestrian safety grant. Although the City may
not be able to fund all the improvements called out in the conceptual design at one time, it was
important to capture an overall vision for the Village that could be used as “Master Plan” for
future improvements or phases.
The main design elements in the conceptual plan are as follows:
1. Pedestrian safety enhancements and corresponding locations*:
• Concrete coble crosswalk at Big Basin Way/Highway 9
• Bulb-Outs and concrete coble pedestrian crosswalk with in-pavement flashing
lights at Big Basin Way/Starbucks
• Bulb-outs and concrete coble pedestrian crosswalks at Big Basin Way/3rd Street
• Bulb-outs and concrete coble pedestrian crosswalks Big Basin Way/4th Street
• Bus Stop Shelter on Saratoga Avenue across from the old Post Office
*The above items are improvements connected to the Pedestrian Safety Grant.
2. General improvements and beautification:
• Landscape median with Oak tree at 4th Street
• Kiosk at Blaney Plaza
• Hanging Flower Baskets
• Enhanced Tree Wells
3. Other improvement items:
• Continuation of repair to sidewalks, curb and gutters
• News Racks – (See Attachment 1 for news rack types and public vote results)
4. Items that are included in the conceptual design, but are outside of the current project
budget (Phase II Improvements):
• Concrete Pavers at the Highway 9 “Spur” adjacent to Blaney Plaza
• Entry Wall/Village Sign Element at Blaney Plaza
• Entry Element at 3rd Street (Turkey Trot)
• Up-lights at each Tree Well (can be funded and implemented over the course of a
few years via the Landscaping and Lighting District)
2 of 4
209
Once the City Council determines which design elements they wish to move forward with, staff
will direct the City’s design consultant to move forward with construction plans.
The project will require an encroachment permit from Caltrans along with approvals for two
design exceptions to their standard highway design specifications. The design exceptions are
connected to the new median at 4th Street. Additional design elements include the kiosk and bus
shelter. In order to move forward with additional design work it will be necessary to increase the
design contract in the amount of $13,800 (Attachment 2). There are sufficient funds in the FY
08/09 budget for this work.
Once the encroachment permit is approved staff will solicit bids for construction. Depending on
the review time with Caltrans, work could begin as early as July.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Funding for this work is programmed in the 08/09 CIP budget under Village Improvements and
Village Pedestrian Enhancements.

4 of 4
The estimated costs for design elements outside of the current project scope are listed on
Attachment 2. These improvements can be viewed as Phase II Improvements.
Although the desired improvements for Phase I are approximately $250,000 more than the
available budget, bids for construction work are running about 20% less than engineering
estimates. Therefore, staff recommends moving forward with the full design of Phase I
Improvements then value engineer the improvements to reduce costs to meet the available
budget, if needed. Another option would be to supplement the project budget during the next CIP
update.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Maintenance Costs:
Currently, the tree wells and other enhanced landscaping in the Village are maintained by the
Village Gardeners, a volunteer group. If the City began to maintain color spots at each tree well,
and the additional landscaping called out in the conceptual plan, the estimated yearly
maintenance costs to the City are as follows:
Hanging Baskets: $15,000 (based on 50 baskets)
Tree Wells: $25,000 (all tree wells on Big Basin)
New Planter Areas at Bulb-Outs/Median: $2,500
$42,500 per year**
**(includes water, 2 color rotations per year, basket liner change-outs, and weekly maintenance)
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The conceptual design items would not be approved and the project would not move forward at this
time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None additional.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
The design construction design work will move forward.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
