In April we received a request for all way stop signs at the Blauer /Regan inter-
section from Karen Anderson.
Staff review resulted in the finding that warrants were not met, and that there
had only been one accident at this location in 15 years. It was not subject to
correction by stop signs.
Staff recommends against the installation.

In response to your memorandum of May 18, 1987, concerning the
above referenced subject, the Public Safety Commission reviewed
your report at their June 8, 1987, meeting. The Public Safety
Commission supported your recommendation based on the fact that
the intersection did not meet accepted standards for the
establishment of a 4 -way stop intersection. However, the Public
Safety Commission recommended that you explore other alternative
ways to improve safety at the intersection.
A copy of the minutes from the meeting is attached.

PSC MINUTES - JUNE 8, 1987 Page 5
Since 1985, accidents have decreased from 388 to a projected 297
in calendar year 1987. Since 1983, fatalities have steadily
decreased as well. In 1983 there were 5, in 1984 there were 4,
in 1985 there were 3, in 1986 there were 2, and there were no
fatalities so far in Saratoga in 1987. Injury accidents have
decreased from 130 in 1986 to a projected 96 in 1987 (a decrease -
of 26%). The Sheriff's Office was estimating that the City would
net $84,640 as a result of the DUI program. This was based on
230 arrests occurring in Saratoga times the average fine of $460
times the 80% of the revenue the City retains. The Sheriff's
Office indicated that May DUI arrest statistics were not
available in time for the Commission's meeting.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Com. Borah reported that he.attended one neighborhood watch
startup meeting for the Saratoga Woods area. He felt that the
meeting was very poorly attended; only 8 people showed up and 2
of them were under 7 years old. Com. Borah indicated that he
would have his preliminary report ready for the Commission at
their July meeting to discuss further. The principal focus of
this report would be how to keep neighborhood watch programs
going.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT
Com. Newby indicated that she had attended the Anti Drug
Community Awareness Symposium at the end of May as authorized by
the City. She felt the seminar was very worthwhile, and would be
reporting the results of the meeting to the appropriate agencies
within the City during the month.
FIRE SERVICES REPORT
Both fire agencies (Central and Saratoga) sent 1 engine each to
he1D fight the Pebble Beach blaze. It was the sincere hope that
Pebble Beach would not be needed to reciprocate with Saratoga
over the summer.
4 -WAY STOP AT BLAUER AND REGAN
The Commission reviewed a report from the City Engineer and a
request from Councilwoman Anderson concerning the establishment
of a 4 -way stop at the intersection of Blauer and Regan Lane.
After some discussion, the following motion was made:
MOTION: It was moved by Coma O'Rorke, with a second from
Com. Borah, that the PSC supports the recommendation of the
City Engineer that a 4 -way stop not be established at the
intersection of Blauer and Regan due to the fact that the
evidence presented does not meet the standards justifying a
4 -way stop intersection.
Motion passed by unanimous vote.
PSC MINUTES - JUNE 8, 1987
Page 6
The Commission also made another motion:
MOTION: It was moved by Com. Newby, with a second from Com.
Swanson, that the PSC recommends the City Engineer explore
alternatives to improve safety conditions at this
intersection. _
Motion passed by unanimous vote.
CSO MAY ACTIVITY REPORT
Mr. Argow presented the Commission with the May CSO activity
report. He pointed out that over 54% of all CSO time was spent
on code enforcement related activities compared to only 30% being
spent on law enforcement related activities. This figure
represented one of the highest expenditures of CSO time on code
enforcement related activities during a single month since the
program had been established in 1984. Mr. Argow emphasized that
the CSOs were spending an increasingly greater amount of time on
code enforcement related activities in response to Council
direction.
PUBLIC SAFETY APPRECIATION PICNIC
The Commission agreed that they should plan for about 150
attendees at the PSC appreciation picnic on June 13. The
Commission spent a considerable amount of time discussing the
details concerning the final arrangements for the picnic.
Having no further business, the Commission adjourned its meeting
at 10:20 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Public Safety Commission DATE: May 18, 1987
FROM: City Engineer
SUBJECT: Request for 4 -Way Stop Signs
at Blauer Drive and Regan Lane
As a result of the request from Karen Anderson, to put a 4 -way stop
at the above subject intersection, we have put together the following
background and warrant discussion along with appropriate diagrams and
'data sheets.
The intersection of Blauer Drive and Regan Lane is located in an older,
established, residential neighborhood, immediately easterly of, and
adjacent to the Argonaut Shopping Center and is bounded by Saratoga -
Sunnyvale Road to the west and Cox Avenue on the north. Presently this
intersection is controlled by stop signs on both legs.of Regan Lane
(which were installed in 1964- MV -4). Both Blauer Drive and Regan Lane
are zoned for 25 MPH and do not require a speed zone survey to be enforced.
(CVC- 40802(b) - local street).
Discussion of the warrants for a 4 -way stop as they apply to the inter-
section of Blauer Drive and Regan Lane are as follows:
1. Traffic signals are not warranted at this location, therefore, the
installation of a 4 -way stop as an interim measure is not warranted.
2. There has been one accident at this intersection in the last 154 years.
On August 25, 1578 @ 12:45 PM, a 7 year old boy was riding his bicycle
northbound on Megan Lane, on the wrong side-of the road, approaching
Blauer Drive was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound on Blauer .
Drive turning right onto southbound Regan Lane. With no accident
history of the type susceptible of correction by a 4 -way stop installa-
tion, the same is not warranted.
3. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection averages 340
vehicles per hour for the busiest 8 hours of an.average day. Since
the minimum volume for this requirement is 500 vehicles per hour,
this warrant is not met.
4. The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street
(Regan Lane) does not average at least 200 units per hour for the
same 8 hours, and does not delay said minor street vehicular traffice
of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour.
Page 2
May 18, 1987
5. The speed of the vehicles approaching Blauer from both directions
of Regan Lane is 0 MPH since these approaches are controlled by
stop signs. The 85th percentile speed for vehicles traveling both
east and west on Blauer Drive is 30.3 MPH, with the 50th percentile
@ 27.0 MPH and the ten mile per hour pace is 22 MPH to 32 MPH with
92.5% traveling within the pace.
In - conclusion, the installation of a four -way stop at the intersection
of.Blauer Drive and Regan Lane is not warranted. The existing stop
signs on Regan Lane should remain in place and at full effect, as they
are serving the purpose of right -of -way assignment and are a useful safety
measure at this intersection.

Subject: Proposal to Install Stop Signs at Two Locations
on Regan Lane; at Blauer and at Argonaut
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the Public Safety Commission meeting on August 8, 1988, the
Commission considered two proposals to install stop signs on
Regan Lane. The first proposal was to establish a four -way stop
at the intersection of Regan and Blauer; the second proposal was
to establish a three -way stop at the intersection of Regan and
Argonaut. On July 24, 84 notices concerning the Public Safety
Commission's agendizing of this issue were mailed to all
property owners within 500' (in all directions) of each
intersection. Mrs. Linda Mullen who lives at 12960 Regan Lane
was the only citizen who showed up to address the Commission on
this issue. She favored both stop sign proposals.
After, considerable discussion concerning each of the proposals,
the Commission failed to pass a motion supporting the
installation of a stop sign at the intersection of Regan and
Blauer. Commissioners Swanson, O'Rorke, and Crane supported the
motion of installing a four -way stop at this intersection, while
Commissioners Mulford, Dawson, and Borah opposed it.
Commissioner Long was absent.
The Commission unanimously passed a motion opposing the
installation of a three -way stop at the intersection of Regan and
Argonaut.
If you have any questions in this matter, please feel free to
contact me.

you
requested the
Commission consider recommending
the placement
of
stop signs at
the intersection of Blauer and
Regan and at
the
intersection
of Regan and Chateau. Although
the engineering
staff has completed

The City Engineer has informed me that a staff analysis will be
completed by the end of May; therefore, I am scheduling both
matters to be considered by the Public Safety Commission at their
June 13, 1988, meeting.
If you know of any individuals who would be interested in
addressing the Commission on the need for the stop signs at
either of these two intersections, please give me their names and
addresses and I will make sure they are notified of this meeting.

APPLICATION NO. & LOCATION: SD -87 -020.; 15231 Quito Road
APPLICANT: Peter Olsen
APN: 397 -07 -020
------------------------------------------------------------------ - - - - --
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant requests tentative map approval,
for a 3 -lot residential subdivision of a 2.97 acre (net) site
located at 15231 Quito Road in the R -1- 40,000 zoning district. An
11,200 sq. ft. structure listed in the Heritage Preservation
Inventory of the City exists on the site. The project is continued
from the 2/10/88 Planning Commission meeting. Revised plans were
discussed at the C.O.W. meetings of 2/15/88 and 3/1/88
ISSUES: The project raises the following issues: 1) The proposed
subdivision will create nonconforming right and rear setbacks for
the house of 51 from the proposed property lines where 20' side and
50' rear yard setbacks are required; 2) The existing historic house
is about 11,200 sq. ft. in floor area and will be located'on the
proposed lot of 47,450 sq. ft. The home size will exceed the
allowable floor area on the lot by 4,060 sq. ft.; 3) The widths of
proposed lots B and C, are substandard (143' - lot.C, 95' - lot B in
lieu of 1501 required); 4) The proposed open space easement on lots
B and C, along the side and rear of lot A is required to preserve
the historic structure; therefore, the open space easement should be
part of lot A and be maintained by the owner of this lot.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the application
since the site is not physically suitable for a 3 -lot subdivision
and several restrictions and limitations are required to mitigate
the problems resulting from the proposed subdivision. However, if
the Planning Commission decides to approve the application for the
sake of preserving the historic structure, a resolution is attached.
PUBLIC NOTICING: The application was deemed complete on 1/15/88.
SD -87 -020 has been noticed by advertising in the Saratoga News on
1/27/88 and .,direct mailing to property owners within 500' of the
project.'

The parcel is located at 15231 Quito Road in the R -1- 40,000 zoning
district. Three (3) lots of unequal size are proposed: 47,450 sq.
ft. (lot A), 41,800 sq. ft. (lot B) and 40,000 sq. ft. (lot C). A
historic single family home, about 11,200 sq. ft. in size exists on
the site and will be preserved on Parcel A (47,450 sq, ft.). The
existing structure, known as Casa Tierra, was built in 1941 and is
characterized by its original style made of adobe bricks, terra
cotta tile roof, and original interior details. The building is
listed in the Santa Clara County Register of Historic Properties and
the Heritage Resource Inventory currently under preparation by the
Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission. The applicant has stated
that he is willing and intends to designate the home as a historic
heritage resource.
An open space easement, 20 -30' wide, is proposed beyond the right
and rear property lines of lot A, on which the historic home is
located. The easement will be retained on lots B and C. A similar
easement 20' -30' wide will be retained along the front and west side
of lot B. An open space easement is proposed along the northern
side of the access driveway on lot B. The access driveway is 10,
wide and an additional 10' access easement is proposed on lot C in
order to maintain the 20' minimum width required for access ways.
The site is characterized by a moderate slope of 6.3% and dense
vegetation covers the lot including oaks, pines, redwoods, acacias
and eucalyptus.
Conformance with the General Plan
1. The General. Plan guidelines for Planning area "G" which include
the subject property, requires protection and preservation of
the very low density character of the area which is 1.09 du /acre
(or 1 du. /40,000 sq. ft.)(page 4 -21 in the General Plan). The
proposed subdivision creates three lots between 40,000 sq. ft.
and to 47,450 sq. ft. and meets the 40,000 minimum requirement of
the General Plan.
2. The General Plan ;states: "It is the responsibility, and should
be the desire, of the City to promote evidence of its culture
heritage by designating and well publicizing its, historic
features" and the "irreplaceable heritage resources" must be
protected (Cultural Resources, page 3 -41 in the General Plan).
The Meagher- Smiley adobe house is listed on the Heritage
3
SD -87 -020; 15231 Quito Road
Resources Inventory of the City and is proposed by the applicant
to be preserved and protected. The applicant expressed his
intention to participate in the Heritage Resource Designation
program and to rehabilitate the structure. . The proposed
subdivision includes mitigation measures for preservation and
protection of the historic house in order to minimize the
impact on the character of the house and its setting.
Issues and Impact of the Proposal
1. Compliance with Zoning Ordinance
The size of the proposed three lots complies with the 40,000 sq.
ft. minimum lot size requirement for the district. However, the
existing historic structure is about 11,200 sq. ft. in size; 900
sq. ft. of a later addition towards the south, is proposed to be
removed but the home will still be about 4,060 sq. ft..in excess
of the 6,240 sq. ft. floor area allowed on•47,450 sq. ft. lot.
As a result of the subdivision, the right and rear setbacks of
the existing structure will be only 5' from the proposed
property lines where 20' side and 50' rear yard setbacks are
required. Although the 20 - 301 open space easement shown on
the map around the unique historic building is intended to
protect the residence against impacts of the construction of new
structures on the existing residence, staff feels that a more
reasonable protection of the home would be to maintain a buffer
around the home of land that belonged to the owner of the adobe
home, not to neighbors. Staff recommends that the 30' easement
width will be established on lot A and not on lots B and C.
This change will create ,a more substandard size of lots B and C
but will result in a more reasonable use of the newly created
sites.
The applicant is willing to limit the size of the new
residences on parcels B and C below the allowable floor area
standard to balance the oversized existing structure. The.
subdivision conditions should restrict the floor area of the
homes on lots B and C to maximum of 4,000 sq. ft. (instead of
6,000 sq. ft. and 6,060 sq. ft.) so that the total floor area
on the three lots will be about 18,300 sq. ft., which is equal
to the total allowable floor area on the three lots.
The adobe house was built around interior and exterior
courtyards oriented toward the southeast. In this position and
orientation, the,privacy.and the view of the house will be well
protected and will not be impacted by the new structures. The
existence of new structures will be hardly noticeable, if at
all, from the site of the adobe.house.
The subdivision creates three standard size lots; however, the
width of lots B and C are substandard (lot B-- 95' and lot C
1431). The location of the future building on lot B is proposed
4
SD -87 -020; 15231 Quito Road
in the wider portion of the lot and the proposed building
envelopes on both lot B and C maintain the required setbacks for
the district.
Lot B is located at the far portion of the property and the
accessway to the lot from Quito Road will be 240' long.
The neighbors on the adjacent properties expressed their
concerns in regard to the impact of the subdivision on their
privacy and the openness of their lots. In order to address
these issues, the Planning Commission directed the.applicant to
provide open space easements along the adjacent properties. The
applicant added to the revised plans a 10' open space easement
along the north side of the access driveway which leads to lot
B, and additional 20' -30' open space easements along the front
and right sides of lot B.
2. Preservation and Protection of the Historic Structure
The Heritage Preservation Commission and the Saratoga Historical
Foundation have both expressed their desire to see the adobe
house preserved and their concerns and recommendations are
described in the attached letters. Both have reviewed the
tentative map showing the easement and emphasize the importance
of compatibility of the new structures with the adobe house. A
condition of approval is that prior to final map approval, the
applicant shall fulfill his offer to designate the home as a
heritage resource and rehabilitate the structure in accordance
with the, State Historic Building Code and Secretary of the
Interior Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties as
directed by the Chief Building Inspector of Saratoga.
The adobe house is characterized by a unique style and
materials. The subdivision conditions require design review
approval by the Planning Commission to ensure that. the new
structures on lot B and C will be compatible with the existing
home with regards to the style, materials and colors.
Since the historic house and and the existing residences on the
adjacent properties to the north and west are all one -story and
low in height, it is recommended that the homes be limited to
one - story, or restricted to maximum height of 221,. The 22'
height limit will allow two -story homes without excessive height
and will provide the flexibility to reduce the site coverage and
to minimize tree removal.
The existing vegetation and trees are an integral part of the
setting of the adobe house. Preservation of,the vegetation and
tree removal restrictions must be conditioned in the subdivision
and limited only to areas approved by the Commission for
building pads. No tree removal should be allowed on parcel A or
in the open space easements. In order to minimize the ingress
and egress to Quito Road and to minimize tree removal, the same
5
SD -87 -020; 15231 Quito Road
driveway should be used for both parcels B and C. Parcel C
would retain an access easement and right -of -way on the flag lot
access which is proposed at the northern property line on parcel
B. The access easement would be recorded on the final map.
Conclusion
The proposed subdivision creates lot shapes, setbacks and a floor
area which do not comply with the Zoning Ordinance. In order to
mitigate the problems resulting from the subdivision, restrictions
and limitations are required on lots B and C. A subdivision of the
property into two lots instead of three could eliminate some of the
problems of nonconformity with the Zoning Ordinance. Elimination of
lot B would create larger backyards for lots A and C, conforming
rear setback on lot A and reduce the excess in floor area of the
adobe house. If the Planning Commission decides to approve the
subdivision in order to preserve the historic structure, the
subdivision map should be conditioned by the. restoration and
preservation of the historic home. Subdivision of lot A must be
prohibited in case of demolition of the historic home at any time in
the future.
