Honorable City Council
Saratoga City Hall
Saratoga, California
Dear Council Members:
On Wednesday evening, August 11, 1982, the Sarato a
Planning Commission denied our variance request (V -592
because we exceed the maximum allowed floor area and
denied the design review (A —$33) without prejudice.
We are in the process of remodeling our home and
the landscaping. Our home is presently 3)$00 square feet
of existing floor space plus a three car garage, with a
4 in 12 pitch shake roof.
Our new design calls for removal of the brick
facade and bumping out walls in certain areas that pre-
sently have large overhangs. The area under the overhangs
will become part of an expanded kitchen, dining room
and laundry room. The present front porch will be
reduced in size and that area will be brought into the
house and made part of a larger entry hall. A new wing
is planned as the front of the house to match the size
of the garage making the house "U" shaped instead of
its present "L" shape. The entire roof is to be removed
and a new 9 in 12 pitch roof is to be added. New
windows throughout most of the house and a new stucco
facade will convert the house to a French Provincial
elevation.
An ancillary benefit to -us of this design is the
additional attic space of the high pitch on the roof
which will allow us more storage space than we presently
have in the attic over our garage. (We are presently
bulging at the seams and are finding it difficult to
presently store some of the items we wish to keep and
pass on to our children.)
We have reviewed the plans with our neighbors that
are on either side and behind us. They are in accord
with the plans and have signed a letter stating that
they have no objection to what we desire to accomplish.
(A copy of this letter was provided the Planning
Commission. The original is attached for your review.)
The lot on our south side is owned by us and directly
to the west of us are the ilest Valley College hockey
and soccer fields. (The proposed addition is on the
southwest corner of our house.)
-2-
There are eight lots on our cul -de -sac, seven
have homes on them. Lot 1 has 4100 square feet, lot 2-
in excess of 5000 square feet, lot 3- vacant, lot 4 (our
home)- 3800 square feet, lot 5 -4200 square feet. lot 6-
5500 square feet, lot 7- 4$00 square feet, and lot 8
has 3000 square feet. All the homes on the street have
extra large three car garages.
We would appreciate your positive consideration
of our request for a variance from the limitation
proscribed by Ordinance NS-3, 3.47 and Article 17.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
Page 2.
The applicant is proposing to construct one story additions
to the front and rear of their existing dwe'l'ling which will
exceed the allowed floor area by greater than 5 %, thereby re-
quiring design review and variance approval.
The applicant has applied for a building permit for approximately
713 square.feet-of the addition which complies with floor area re=
quirements, and is seeking variance and design review approval for
remaining 745 square feet. The additions include 190 square feet
expansion to the rear, two small expansions to the front, totaling
145 square feet and one large expansion on .the south side of the
dwelling totaling 1,123 square feet.
The applicant is proposing.to modify the exterior.finish of the
structure from brick and stucco painted off -white to all stucco
painted dark tan. The structure complies with setbacks and height
requirements and will not pose any new privacy impacts.
FINDINGS:
1. Physical Hardship: There is no physical hardship associated
with the site in terms of site size, shape or topography
which would warrant a variance from floor.area requirements.
2. Exceptional Circumstances: Staff noted no exceptional cir-
cumstances associated with.the site which do not apply gen-
erally to other properties in the same zoning district,
warrant the variance.
3. Strict or Literal. Interpretation: The privilege of exceeding
the standard floor area has been granted in the same zoning
district in three cases: V -562 Mayo, V -568 Elder, V -574 Gera.
Therefore, strict interpretation of the floor area requirements
could deprive the applicant of a privilege granted to other
property owners with similar circumstances.
4. Grant of Special Privilege: Granting of the subject variance
would not constitute a grant of special privilege since other
such variances have been granted.
5. Health, Safety & Welfare: Granting of the Variance will not
be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare.
RECOMMENDATION: Since Staff cannot make all the required findings
staff recommends denial of the variance, but approval of design
review subject to deletion of the non - conforming square footage.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
DATE: 7/26/82
Commission Meeting: 8/11/82
SUBJECT- GF -339, Amend zoning ordinance to allow restaurants with
outdoor dining as conditional uses in all commercial districts
The Planning Commission discussed this item at its Committee -of-
the -Whole meeting of July 6, 1982. At that time the Commission
expressed concerns about limiting hours of operation, limiting
amount of outdoor seating, screening, noise and litter. A resident
of the Park Saratoga Condominium Development expressed concern about
the precedent that could be established if a restaurant with out-
door dining were granted a use permit. He gave the example of
granting the Crepe Daniel Restaurant a use permit for outdoor dining
and wondered if the pizza parlor at the other end of that building
in the center could also get a use permit. He felt that the Crepe
Daniel might not create any significant adverse impacts but a
pizza parlor could create a noise and litter nuisance if allowed
outside.
i.
It was explained that a use permit was a matter of grace and not
a matter of right so that the City can deny a use permit. However,
similar uses in similar situations should be dealt with in the
same manner. In conversation with the City Attorney it was deter-
mined that a pizza parlor or similar use can be differentiated
from a sit down restaurant and a use permit can be denied based
on the nature of the restaurant use and not just the physical cir-
cumstances associated with the use.
The Commission was shown several options in dealing with this type
of use in a Staff Report dated May 26, 1982. At the time`the
Commission appeared to favor an option which required use permits
for outdoor dining either limiting such uses to special commercial
districts or allowing such uses in all commercial districts. (If
outdoor dining is to be permitted in the C -V district then the
prohibition in Section 7.3(c) must be removed.) The Commission
was concerned about allowing outdoor dining in commercial zones
near residential areas due to potential noise and nuisance impacts.
Staff Report ., .page 2.
GF -339
If outdoor dining is to be allowed in Saratoga then some means
of calculating parking for outdoor dining, which is a signficant
impact created by all restaurant uses, should be addressed. Some
Commissioners suggested that parking requirements be based on
square footage of the outdoor dining area. The problem arises as
to how to determine the perimeter of the outdoo- dining area. Some
sort of physical barrier (i.e., landscaping, fencing, etc.) would
be desirable. In lieu of that, parking can be determined by the
number of tables or seats. Many cities in the Bay Area require
1 parking space per 3 seats for restaurants..
Specific limits on hours of operation, the amount of outdoor seating
and noise should be based on individual use permits. Requirements
for litter control should be standard conditions although requirements
for screening should be optional depending on the nearness of existing
residences.
The Commission can vary certain provisions of the zoning ordinance
through the use permit process if it so desires but it should
specify what provisions (i.e., setbacks, parking, etc.) it wishes
to vary. In the absence of such a statement in the ordinance any
variation in standard must be reviewed through the variance process.
FINDINGS: „
1. The proposed zoning changes are required to ahcieve the objectives
of the zoning ordinance as prescribed in Section 1.1 of Ordinance
NS -3.
2. The amendments would not be detrimental to the public health,.
safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the areas affected by the amendment.
3. The amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of
the General Plan.
4. The amendments will not adversely affect the development of the
City of Saratoga.
RECOMMENDATION:
The use permit procedure is one of the most powerful and flexible
controls the City has in regulating land use. Considering this
power and flexibility Staff would recommend that restaurants with
outdoor dining be allowed in all commercial districts. Use permits
will likely have sufficient conditions to protect adjacent properties.
Staff Report page 3.
GF -339
To support this change Article 11 should be amended to require 1
parking space per 3 seats for any outdoor dining area. This ratio
is used by many cities in the Bay Area and eliminates having to
determine the perimeter of an outdoor dining area:,: Use permits can
limit the number of chairs allowed.

(Negative Declaration)
Environmental Quality Act of 1970
The undersigned, Director of Planning and Environmental Control of the
CITY OF SARATOGA, a Municipal Corporation, after''--study and evaluation
has determined, and does hereby determine, pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Sections 15080
through 15083 of the California Administrative Code, and Resolution 653 -
of the City of Saratoga, that the following described project will have
no significant effect (no substantial adverse impact) on the environment
within the terms and meaning of said Act.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Amend the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Saratoga by adding restaurants
with outdoor dining to the list of conditional uses allowed in all
commercial districts, delete contrary provisions, and add a means
of calculating required parking for outdoor areas.
NAME AND ADDRESS OF APPLICANT
City of Saratoga, 13777 Fruitvale Avenue`, Saratoga, CA. 95070
REASON FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The proposed amendment will not have a significant effect on the
environment since restaurants with outdoor dining will have similar
impacts as those uses already.permitted in commercial districts. All
potential impacts from individual restaurants with outdoor dining will
have to be examined under separate environmental assessments. Impacts
of individual projects will be mitigated by application of existing
City codes and ordinances and by conditions attached to individual
use permits.

REQUEST: To receive Tentative Building Site Approval to split a 1 acre
parcel at the corner of Aloha and Saratoga -Los Gatos Road, in order to
place an additional residence on the site.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: A Negative Declaration for this project was
adopted at the time of the original application (SDR- 1410).
PUBLIC NOTICING: This project has been readvertised by publishing in the
newspaper, posting and by mailings to property owners within 500 feet.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density.
ZONING: R -1- 20,000.
SURROUNDING LAND USES: Residential.
SITE SIZE: 1 acre.
SITE SLOPE: 7.25%
STAFF ANALYSIS: This project involves a lot split of a 1 acre parcel in
the R -1- 20,000 zoning district on Saratoga -Los Gatos Road at Aloha Avenue.
It was approved by the LDC on May 17, 1979, however, this approval has
expired. The intersection of Aloha and Saratoga -Los Gatos Road is known to
be poor and with the application, the Council was requested to consider
abandoning the intersection. The Council modified the intersection as stated
on the attached memo dated October 9, 1980.
One main residence exists on the site. and a secondary dwelling unit along
with a pool, pond and heavy vegetation along Saratoga -Los Gatos Road. The
Permit Review conditions do require dedication of a 20' scenic easement to
insure that the trees and vegetation continue to buffer Saratoga -Los Gatos
Road from the residences, proposed and existing. The Commission approved
the Design Review of the new structure on July 8, 1981.

Issue Summary
The current franchise agreement with Green Valley Disposal Company expires in
January;. 1983. A negotiating committee from the cities.of Saratoga, Los Gatos;
Campbell and Monte Sereno has been meeting since February of 1982 to develop a
consensus on issues to be included.in the new master franchise agreement.
The negotiating committee and Green Valley representatives have reached tentative
agreement on elements of the franchise agreement and on a new landfill agreement.
The major components of these two agreements have been reviewed with Council at
several prior study sessions.
The tentative agreements are being presented to the respective Councils from the
four cities in order to secure conceptual approval of the contents. Formal ap-
p r.oval'.of:the franchise agreement will probably occur in November after a legal
review and rate structure discussions.

SUBJECT: Conceptual Approval of Proposed Green Valley Master Franchise Agreement
BACKGROUND
The current franchise agreement with Green Valley Disposal Company ex-
pires in January, 1983. The four cities contracting with. Green Valley,
Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell and Monte Sereno, decided several years
ago that a more uniform approach to negotiating.with Green Valley would
be beneficial in the franchise renewal process. Representatives from
the four cities have been meeting since February and with Green Valley
representatives since May to develop the elements of the new master
franchise agreement.
You have two documents before you for review and conceptual approval.
The first document has been labeled an Issue or position paper for the
Master Franchise Agreement with Green Valley. Following conceptual
approval by the four City Councils, staff will have the document put
into the proper legal language for the final franchise agreement. Dur-
ing the next few months, the negotiating committee will.continue meeting
to review Green Valley's budget submittals, rate requests, and to develop
recommendations for each respective city on rate structures, rates, and
special services. We anticipate returning to Council in November for
final franchise adoption and rate setting.
The second document being presented for conceptual approval is an agree-
ment between .the cities and Guadalupe Disposal Company (the landfill.)
The agreement with Guadalupe Disposal Company was proposed by the cities
to provide an assurance to the four cities that landfill space will con-
tinue to be available to the cities whether Green Valley has the garbage
franchise or not.

to be performed at the end of each five years by a firm selected by the
cities. Cost of the performance audit will be borne by-Green Valley as
part of their operating expense. The franchise will be extended at the
five year interval contingent upon the outcome of the performance audit.
Rates._- Rate reviews will be conducted every three years, with provisions
for an annual increase if merited. Either party may request a rate re-
view during the three year period if economic circumstances merit or if
conditions anticipated during budget review do not occur.

Green Valley later this month and will be reviewing proposed rates for
each different type of service option. As soon as.service options and
costs are developed, staff will be returning to Council for direction
and selection of alternatives.
Commercial rates will continue to be based upon the size of.the bin and
frequency of collection. The cities will be regulating, for the first
time, the rates collected for drop off boxes.
Franchise Fee - The cities will continue to collect 10% of gross revenues
in the form of franchise fees. This percentage is the same as the current
franchise. (In 1981 -82, the City of Saratoga received approximately
$100,000 in franchise fees from.Green Valley.)
Services - Costs of services provided to each bity for city owned or
occupied property will be included in the rate base for each jurisdic-
tion. Each city will receive a city -wide "free" pickup twice a year for
unlimited collection.
An additional possibility for cities selecting the unlimited curbside
pickup option for all residential customers will be the option to use
plastic bags rather than cans.

Local Options - Local options may be requested by individual cities.
T ese proposals will be costed out by Green Valley and reviewed by the
city requesting the option. Examples of such options may include curb-
side recycling or unlimited collection. If Green Valley decides not to
provide a service such as recycling, the cities can provide it themselves.
or can contract with another entity.
Bad Debts - Cities have agreed to extending the ability of Green Valley
to terminate service to both residential and commercial.customers after
120 days and 60 days in arrears, respectively. The cities have reserved
the right to withdraw the termination privilege.. If.termination is not
permitted, Green Valley will be allowed to include bad debts (with a
limit to 1% of gross revenue) as part of the rate base. Green Valley
would also be allowed to charge a deposit for new customers and restarts.
ELEMENTS OF LANDFILL AGREEMENT
The landfill agreement is proposed to.be a 20 year term, with information
to be presented annually to the cities on landfill capacity and opera-
tional status. The landfill, or Guadalupe Disposal, must also notify
the cities of intended or planned major resource recovery activities and
allow the cities to comment and /or participate. If Guadalupe Disposal
enters into a major resource recovery operation,5% of after tax proceeds
from the operation will be transferred to Green Valley specifically to be
used as a subsidy for collection rates.
Furthermore, the landfill is required to accept the cities' garbage for
twenty (20) years whether or not Green Valley continues to be the cities'
refuse collector. The tipping fees charged to the cities'-.collector will
not be permitted to exceed the average tipping fee for specified bay area
landfills by more than 15 %.
We are seeking your conceptual approval of the Green Valley Master
Franchise and the Guadalupe Disposal agreement. Following approval by
all four City Councils, we will be working to develop the appropriate
legal wording for the actual franchise document.
Later this month. Green Valley will be submitting.the proposed 82 -83
operating budget, and budget projections for 83 -84, and 84 -85. Various

AGREEMENT BETWEEN GUADALUPE DISPOSAL COMPANY, INC.
(HEREINAFTER CALLED LANDFILL) AND THE CITIES OF
CAMPBELL, SARATOGA, MONTE SERENO AND THE TOWN
OF LOS GATOS (HEREINAFTER CALLED CITIES)
Term of Agreement: 20 years
Purpose: To ensure residents of the aforementioned Cities a location for
disposal of refuse within the term of this agreement; to enable
landfill operations to more accurately predict'demand and
capitalize facilities; and to encourage resource recovery
efforts at the landfill site which will further extend the
availability and disposal capacity of this facility for future
use by city residents.
Agreed:.
1. Landfill will provide an annual report of landfill capacity and
operational status. A summary of tipping fees may be required
annually.
2. Major resource recovery operations will not be undertaken by land-
fill without knowledge and opportunity for comment or participation
by cities. Cities may elect to support such an enterprise but are
not obliged to do so. 5% of after -tax net proceeds, based upon the
average actual tax rate, derived from any such operation shall be
paid to Green Valley Disposal Co. as a subsidy to rate payers, in
proportion to the volume of refuse collected from cities. This
payment will be included in calculating the gross receipts of Green
Valley Disposal. Verification of this relationship will be by a
financial review focused on the subject operation to be performed
by the landfill's accountant. Should cities provide financial,
operation, or other support to a proposed project, a new profit -
sharing arrangement will be negotiated.
Operations excluded from this provision include methane gas
recovery from the initial landfill site and minor material sal-
vage.
3. Landfill will accept all refuse brought from cities for the term
of this agreement.
4. Tipping fee charged to the collector of refuse from cities shall
not exceed rate /ton equal to 15% above the average tipping fee for
the landfills selected according to the following guidelines:
a. Cities and landfill to provide a list of comparable public and
and privately -owned landfills in the three (3) Bay Area counties
of Santa Clara, San Mateo and Alameda.
b. Tipping fee charges of the landfills selected for the survey
shall include:
-2-
(1) any surcharge, assessment or fee imposed by the landfill
which is computed by the volume (yards or tons) of refuse
deposited which is imposed on refuse collection companies or
haulers over and above the unit of refuse by volume (yards
or tons) charged to the local refuse collection companies
or haulers.
(2) any surcharge, assessment, inspection fee, or tax which is
computed by the volume (yards or tons) of refuse deposited
which is imposed by a governmental agency and uniformly
applicable to the landfills used in the survey.
All other surcharges, taxes, permit fees and licenses shall be
included as part of the basic tipping fees of the landfills
used in the survey.
c. A minimum of six (6) and a maximum of ten (10) landfills will
be selected by the cities and landfill, from which the one
highest and the one lowest will be eliminated prior to calcu-
lating the average.
d. If the original list diminishes to four (4) remaining landfills,
both parties will meet to establish a new list. If, in the event
there are insufficient (comparable) landfills to establish a new
list, landfill will provide a ten (10 %) percent discount on
tipping fees for the cities refuse below that charged to other
Refuse Collection Companies using the landfill.
e. In the establishment of a list of comparable landfills, the
following factors shall be taken into consideration:
(1) Location of landfill.
(2) Tipping charges for compacted refuse by the ton. Should
landfill use compacted yardage in lieu of tonnage, the unit
of yardage shall be converted to tonnage by multiplying
one (1) compacted yard by four (4).
(3) Estimated capacity of landfill - Time life.
(4) Resource Recovery Program at landfill.
(5) Ownership.
(6) Average volume of refuse per day.
(7) Plans for expansion and /or use of transfer stations.
(8) Other data which would aid in the selection of comparable
landfills.

5. This agreement may be terminated, should County, State, or Federal
Governmental sanctions or natural disasters occur which would make
the execution of the terms and conditions of this agreement
impossible.
6. This agreement shall create property interest on the part of the
cities; in the event of being taken by a. governmental entity, the
cities will be entitled to appropriate compensation from the entity
instituting the action.
7. This agreement shall be binding upon the landfill's heirs and
successor in title.

Gentlemen:
+UG 1 1982
We have been advised by the reference principal that the City of Saratoga
is willing to release Surety Insurance Company of California from the one
year maintenance term if the principal provides the City with a cash de-
posit of $7,000.
Home Federal Savings and Loan is holding in an offsight set aside account
the amount of $14,000 for the benefit of Surety Insurance Company. We are
willing to allow Home Federal Savings and Loan to forward to the City $7,000,
if the City releases Surety Insurance from the maintenance term for the
reference bond.
Will you please forward us a copy of the minutes from the meeting of the
City Council showing their acceptance to release Surety Insurance Com-
pany for the yearly maintenance when they have received the funds in
place of the bonds?
Upon receipt of the above, we will direct Horne Federal Savings and Loan to
forward to the City the funds required.
Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated.
e ly yours,
Gen anager
