Commission Meeting: 5/9/84
SUBJECT SDR -1564, A -948, & V -633, PERO GLUMAC
14975 QUITO ROAD
The Planning Commission discussed the above referenced applications
at its study session'of April 17, 1984. The major concerns were:
1) The 32' height of the proposed structure; 2) Privacy impacts;
3) Impacts on the views of neighboring properties to the north;
4) The width and improvements to the minimum access road; and, 5) The
new driveway access.
Also, the land use committee and staff met on the Nelson property to
the north of the Glumac site to ascertain the impact of the proposed
two -story structure.
As a result of these meetings, and others, the applicant has prepared
revised plans in an effort to meet the concerns listed in the first
paragraph above.
1. Height of the Proposed Structure
The applicant has clarified the grading plan for the proposed
new driveway and reduced the pitch of the roof of the structure.
The applicant indicates that this will reduce the maximum height
of the structure so that a variance is not necessary. The
height of the structure from the main building pad has been re-
duced from 27' to 25'.
2. Privacy Impacts
The applicant has relocated the windows on the western elevation
of the structure so that they are screened by the large existing
oak tree thus protecting the privacy of those properties to the
northwest (Butcher). The applicant will also change two of the
windows on the second story of the northern elevation so that
they are only false windows to protect the privacy of properties
to the northeast (Nelson). Obscure glass will be used in the
bathroom windows.
Report to the PlanniPq Commission
SDR -1564, A -948, V -� Pero Glumac

CPage 2
The applicant has removed the second story greenhouse proposed
over the garage but a deck is still proposed on top of the garage.
According to the applicant the Butcher's, -which could be most
affected by the deck, do not object to it. The existing deck
around the pool currently would have a privacy impact on properties
to the northwest. A solid fence around the outside perimeter of
the deck could eliminate this problem.
The applicant has also stated that he would pay for landscaping
on adjacent properties to the north, as selected by the property
owners, to protect privacy. These areas are shown on Exhibit
C -1.
3. Impacts on Views
Staff noted that the major view impacts would be to the west and
north. Mr. Anderson, who'owns the adjacent property to the west,
stated at the first public hearing on the project that he had no
objection to it. The large oak tree substantially screens the
two -story portion of the structure from the Butcher property.
When staff and the Land Use Committee met on the Nelson property,
the Nelson's expressed concern about their loss of a large por-
tion of their:rview. The Nelson's suggested that the structure
could be lowered another five feet. They also expressed concern
with the view impact of the covered porch in conjunction with
the rest of the structure. The applicant has indicated (see
exhibit C -1) that he would plant box sized trees to screen the
porch and the structure from view.
The applicant's architect has indicated that the overall height
of the structure could be reduced one foot if a slab foundation
were used but this would not be the preference of the applicant.
He also indicated that the house can not go lower than this with-
out possible structural damage to the existing swimming pool.
Visual impact at the Nelson property (as well as privacy impacts)
could be reduced if a single story structure were built on the
site. Staff has calculated that the applicant could build an
additional 690 -1380 square foot section to the proposed lower
level of the.dwelling. The proposed second -story would be 1,638
square feet in size. However, this option could have a greater
visual impact on the Butcher property.
4. Minimum Access Road
The applicant discussed the need for the 18' wide (paved)--minimum
access road with Central Fire District. The Fire District gave
the applicant two options:
1. Use an 18' wide standard minimum access road but allow
portions of the road to be narrowed to preserve certain
specimen trees. (Staff noted 6 trees over 12" in diameter
that should be preserved).
Report to the Planni- Commission 5/1/84
SDR -1564, A -948, V -633, Pero Glumac Page 3
2. Allow a 14' wide road (with 2 ft. shoulder) if it is approved
by the City and a fire hydrant is provided on site (1000 gpm).
Staff -fells that -allowing.a less than 18' -wide minimum access
road would establish an undesirable precedent and would favor
the first option proposed by the Fire District. The applicant
wishes to use the second option and has provided revised plans
illustrating this option (see exhibit C -1) .
5. New Driveway Access
r111ile on site the applicant showed staff the fill area under the
proposed driveway and indicated that the driveway would _.
not be as steep as shown on the original plans that were submitted.
The driveway was also narrowed from 16 feet to 12 feet which re-
duces impervious.s- urface and increases the area available for
landscaping. With adequate protection given to the existing
trees near the proposed driveway, the proposed driveway would
be acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff feels that the applicant has made a substantial effort to..
eliminate privacy impacts. However., the structure should be.lowered
as much as is feasible to reduce its visual impact, staff would
recommend approval of SDR -1564 per Exhibit B subject to the following
conditions:
1. All those conditions associated with SDR -1564 in the staff report
dated 4/4/84 with the exception of condition VIII. D..
2. Add condition:
V. C. Bridge and access road shall be completed before final
map approval.
3. If the Commission decides to allow a 14 Ft. wide access road
change condition V. A. to read as follows:
A. Construct access road 14 feet minimum width, plus one 2
foot shoulder using double seal coat coil and screening
or better on 6 inch aggregate base from public street or
access road to proposed dwelling. Slope driveway shall
not exceed 122% without adhering to the following:
1. Driveways having slopes between 122% to 15% shall be
surfaced using 22 inches of A.C. on 6 inch aggregate
base.
2. Driveways having slopes between 15% and 172% shall be
surfaces using 4 inches of P.C.C. concrete rough sur-
faced on 4 inch aggregate base and shall not exceed
50 feet in length.
3. Driveways with greater slopes or longer length will
not be accepted.
Report to the Plann-T Commission 5/1/84
SDR -1564, A -948, V -� i ^ , Pero Glumac Page 4.
4. Add condition (for 14' wide access road only):
V. D. Provide an'approved private fire hydrant with an
8" diameter main and a flow of 1,000 gpm located on the
applicant's property between the driveway and the easterly
property line. The applicant or subsequent property
owner shall maintain said fire hydrant and water main in
perpetuity. Required fire hydrant and its installation
shall be tested and accepted by Central Fire District
prior to .the issuance of Building Permits.
RECOMMENDATION (A -948): With the changes proposed by the applicant
as shown per Exhibits C-1, D-1 and E -1, staff would recommend approval
of A -948 per the following findings and subject to the conditions
listed below:
FINDINGS:
With the revisions proposed by the applicant, staff recommends the
Commission make the following findings:
1. Unreasonable Interference with Views or Privacv:
The applicant has removed or located the windows in.the second
story so as to protect the privacy of adjacent properties to
the north. The applicant has reduced the height of the proposed
structure by two feet and can perhaps lower it further. The
applicant proposes additional landscaping to screen the proposed
structure from properties to the north. Although the visual
impact of a two story structure could be mitigated by a single
story structure, a single story expansion of the same size as
the proposed.second floor could impact other properties to a
greater extent than the proposed two -story structure. ,
2. Preservation of the Natural Landscape
By.narrowing.the proposed driveway, decreasing its steepness, and
by protecting the existing trees on site, the applicant has
minimized the potential damage to the site's natural setting.
3. Perception of Excessive Bulk
By reducing the height of the proposed structure and adding
landscaping the perception of the structure's bulk will be re-
duced. Lowering the structure would further reduce this impact.
4. Compatible Bulk & Height
The applicant lowered the height of the proposed structure and
with additional reductions can make this as compatible as possible
for a two -story in this location.

COMPLIANCE: The proposed main dwelling complies with coverage
(35o maximum allowed), setback, and floor area (6,200 sq. ft.
maximum allowed) requirements. It would exceed the height limit
of 30' by at least 21. The existing tennis court complies with
setback requirements but its fence is 2' higher than the 10' height
limit established in the ordinance and needs to be screened by
landscaping. The existing barn and the proposed location of the
corral do not comply with the 50' setback from the front property
line as required-in Section 3.2(e) of the zoning ordinance. (The
barn is 45' from the property line and the corral would be 30'
from the property line).
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
EXTERIOR MATERIALS: Horizontal wood siding - off - white; marble
veneer - Lower level of first floor
ROOF MATERIALS:
Clay Tile - Dark Red
TRIM: Window trim and shutters painted off - white.
IMPACT ON PRIVACY AND VIEWS: The site of the proposed two -story
dwelling is considerably higher than the sites immediately surrounding
the subject property. When staff investigated the site it was
apparent that any two -story dwelling would impact the privacy of
adjacent properties to the north. Without adequate fencing and /or
landscaping a single -story structure could also have an adverse
impact. Considering the proposed height of the main dwelling and
its topographic location the strucure will be highly visible although
it is not likely to significantly impair views. A single -story
structure would have lesser privacy and visual impacts..
The proposed deck and green house over the new garage could also
have an adverse privacy impact. A large oak tree on site will
provide some screening of the second story and a little for the
deck.
Report to the Plan Commission

Page 7
COMPATIBILITY: Although the proposed dwelling is within the
allowable floor area of the R- 1- 40,000 district it will be larger
than most of the existing dwellings in the vicinity. This factor
combined with its topographic location make the proposed structure
incompatible with the neighborhood. It should be noted that a
single story dwelling previously occupied the site according to
City building permit records.
There is an existing two -story structure to the north of the site
but it is located on a much lower elevation and does not create
significant privacy and visual impacts.
OTHER: The applicant is also proposing a new double entrance drive-
way for the site as well as a new garage. This will involve a
substantial cut to accommodate both the garage and the driveway
over a steep section of the lot. This could be avoided by con-
structing the garage on the existing.building pad and maintaining
the existing single driveway. This option would be consistent
with the following General Plan goal.
LU.5.0 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.
PROJECT HISTORY: A single -story structure was built on the site
around 1958. That structure burned down about 8 or 9 years ago.
The swimming pool and tennis court already exist on site.
FINDINGS:
1. Unreasonable Interference with Views or Privacy: The proposed two -
story structure and its topographic location relative to adjacent
properties will unreasonably interfere with the privacy of the
adjacent northern properties and will have a major visual impact
on neighboring properties. This problem can be avoided by the
construction of a single story structure on the site. Staff can
not find a method of significantly mitigating the adverse impacts
likely to be created by the two -story structure.
2. Preservation of the Natural Landscape: The new driveway proposed
by the applicant will substantially modify the topography of the
front of the site which does not minimize soil removal and grade
changes. These two factors can be minimized by building the
garage on the existing building pad and maintaining the existing
driveway.
3. Perception of Excessive Bulk: The height and size of the proposed
two -story structure and its topographic location will not minimize
the perception of excessive bulk for the neighborhood. This per-
ception can be significantly mitigated if a single -story dwelling
is built on the site.
4. Compatible Bulk & Height: With its bulk and topographic location
the proposed structure would not be compatible with other existing
structures in the neighborhood. The proposed two -story structure
would not interfere with the light, air and solar access of
adjacent properties.

C. A revised site plan showing the barn and corral located in
conformance with the requirements of Section 3.2(e) of the
Zoning Ordinance.
* d. Any modifications to the proposed site plan or exterior
elevations.
* 2. Show how the existing trees on the site, in particular the 18"
oak located to the west of the proposed garage, will be protected
and preserved both during and after construction. Applicant shall
submit a letter from a certified arborist that the precautions
taken by the applicant are sufficient to preserve the existing
trees on site.
* 3. The applicant shall lower the structure as much as is feasible
to reduce the visual impact of the proposed structure.

STAFF ANALYSIS - VARIANCE -V -633
The applicant proposes that the northernmost portion of the structure
maintain a height of 32'+ rather than the height limit of 30'. The
main reason for the height variation is the fact that a maximum cut
depth of 6.5' is required to accommodate the new garage and driveway.
Staff has indicated that the second -story of the structure would
have adverse privacy and visual impacts for adjacent properties.
If a single -story design were used by the applicant there would be
no need for the variance and is an option available to the applicant.
Another option would be to delete the new driveway and garage from
the plan thus eliminating the need for the 6.5' cut. The garage can
be built at the existing building pad without additional grading and
thus avoid the variance.
Although the site has an unusual topography it is not unusual enough
to warrant a variance since there are options available to the appli-
cant, as indicated above, which would not require a variance. The
property can be and has been in the past, reasonably developed with-
out a variance.

1. Practical Difficulty or Unnecessary Physical Hardship
There are no physical circumstances associated with the subject
property in terms of its size, shape, topography, location; or
surroundings which would warrant the granting of a variance for
a structure height exceeding 30 feet. Staff has suggested two
options which would not require a variance which support this
position.
2. Exceptional or Extraordinary Circumstances
3.
4.
There are no significant exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
associated with the site which would warrant a variance and which
do not apply to other properties in the R -1- 40,000 district. There
are options available to the applicant which do not require a variance.
Common Privilege
A strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the ordinance
would not be a denial of common privilege since there are options
available to the applicant which would allow reasonable development
of the property.
Special Privilege
The granting of this variance would be a grant of special privilege
since there are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
associated with the property which would warrant a variance and
there are options available to the applicant that would comply
with ordinance requirements.
Report to the Plan n'nQ Commission 4/4/84
. $DR -1564, A -948, V- Page 10
5. Public Health, Safety and Welfare
The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity. However, staff feels that the
granting of a variance when it is unwarranted establishes an un-
desirable precedent.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that variance application V -633 be
denied since all the necessary findings cannot be made. If the
Commission wishes to approve the project, it will have to make the
necessary findings. Approval should be subject to the following
condition:
1. The applicant shall comply with the conditions of SDR -1564 and
A -948.

SDR -1486 Tor Larsen, Pierce Rd. & Ashley Ct., Tentative Building Site Approval -
3 Lots
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting tentative subdivision approval
for 3 Lots in the R -1- 40,000 zoning district between
Ashley Court and Pierce Road. One new residence exists on the land included in
the division.
The Planning Commission reviewed the site for access concerns on 10/21/80 and
the proposed map is submitted in answer to those concerns. A cul -de -sac is
proposed for Ashley Court off of which the 2 proposed residences will take
access. A secondary access is proposed for Parcel B to Pierce Road. An
exception from the Subdivision Ordinance is required for allowing a minimum
access road to connect to a cul -de -sac.
Each proposed lot will have 40,000 sq. ft., in conformance with the R -1- 40,000
zoning. The slope of the site, 2.8 %, indicates there will be some concern
about the proposed drainage. The orchard trees on the parcel will be removed
for construction of the 2 new residences if approved.
The drainage plans, as conceived at the Land Development Committee meeting of
3/19/81 will involve 2 components: an intercept at the driveway to Parcel B for
* those.waters coming from the west and a drainage pipe to Ashley for those lands
above the 370' elevation which includes both the proposed improvements on Parcel
B and all of Parcel A.
The applicant intends to file for a lot line adjustment per the tentative map
if it is approved.
PROJECT STATUS: Said project complies with all objectives of the 1974 General
Plan, and all requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances of the City of Saratoga.
The housing needs of the region have been considered and have been balanced
against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and
environmental resources.
A Negative Declaration was prepared and will be filed with the County of Santa
Clara Recorder's Office relative to the environmental impact of this project,
if approved under this application. Said determination date: February 27, 1981.

Conditions which are hereby required and set forth in accord with

determined that it is a, valuable specimen tree in excellent condition. The Community Develop-
ment Staff reviewed the addition and tree removal permit on site and determined that the re-
moval of the tree did not meet the findings required by the'City Code, namely; 1) being
diseased or dangerous, or; 2) unreasonably restricting the economic enjoyment of the property.
The Moores have appealed the denial of the Tree Removal Permit because the tree restricts the
economic-enjoyment of their property to construct an appropriate kitchen addition given its
location.
Recommendation
Consider the merits of the appeal, make the appropriate findings and determine appeal.
I.f the Council grants the appeal, a 36" box evergreen specimen tree should be planted in
place of the Cedrus Atlantica Clauca.

;*:"DDE!\�DUM T3 APPEAL FOR PERMIT TO REMOVE TREE
Ever since purcnase of the oroperty at 13465 Hammons
Avenue, we have had the intention of modifying the kitchen.
The present one is long and narrow and has been less than
satisfactory. We have also felt that the tree in question has
been a oroolem in that it prevents sunlight from penetrating
the kitchen and has made it a dark room.
We have,over the past two years, given a great deal of
study to how to modify the kitchen in order to obtain what we
wanted. During this period of study we have determined that
it would be necessary to remove the tree both to get the
lighting we wanted and also to eliminate the recurrent problem
of blocked rain gutters caused by thg drooping of needles from
the tree. This has caused excess water to fall in the area
near the foundation due to the gutter overflowing in the area
Just in front of the sink. This condition is apt to happen
after almost every rain storm since the combination of wind
and rain cause the tree to drop needles which get caught on
the roof and washed into the gutters, causing it to become
blocked. The oosition of the tree also makes it difficult and
dangerous to clear due to lack of access to the gutters.
We do not disagree with the opinion of the p\anninp
director that the tree is a valuable specimen, but feel that
it is located in the wrong place and that as stated in the
aopeal it "unreasonably restricts the economic enjoyment of
the orooerty in ouestion".
in researching the tree, I found the following quote in
the Sunset Western Gardening Book, Lane Magazine and Book
Company, Menlo Park, California, Copywrite 1967, page 219�
"Less spreading than other true cedars , but still needs a 30-
ft. circle." In its present location, the tree is only 6 to 7
feet from the house on two sides. The roots already are large
enough to pose a threat to the foundation and the branches do
cause problems with the drainage as stated previously. The
needles tend to collect on the shakes and the branches are a
threat to the shakes.
I would be willing, if the city should desire it, to
donate the tree to the city on the condition that the city be
resocnsible for all the cost of the removal and transolanting
to the location of their choice.
As we have been granted a oermit to expand the kitchen
and as tne project is being held uo by the denial of a oermit
to remove the tree in ouestion, I reouest that the council
grant the oermit on the basis of the foregoing information.

in this area for several years. Therefore, it can be expected that
accelerated development of this area will be the result of this
proposal.

SUBJECT: Early Warning Fire Reporting System for High Fire Hazard Zone
Issue Summary
Because of the difficulty and remoteness of terrain in the northwest
hillside zone, the Saratoga Fire District proposed an Early Warning Fire
Reporting System (EWFRS) several years ago as a means of maintaining adequate
fire protection within the developing northwest hillside area. For the past
three years, the Saratoga Fire District has been developing the EWFRS in
conjunction with City staff and alarm system industry companies. Saratoga
Fire District now has acquired the technical equipment needed for establishing
the EWFRS and has demonstrated its effectiveness.
The Saratoga General Plan contemplates the adoption of an EWFRS in the north-
west hillside area as as important element of adequate fire protection. With
the capacity of the Saratoga Fire.District to establish and maintain such a
system now demonstrated, it is appropriate that the City of Saratoga adopt
the necessary implementing ordinance in conjunction with the Saratoga Fire,
District and in conformance with the City's General Plan.
The ordinance proposed to be adopted by the City would require all new
residential development within the fire hazard zone to be equipped with
automatic fire sensing devices. This ordinance would amend the City's uniform
building code to include such requirements. Once the City's ordinance is in
place, Saratoga Fire District, acting under its own jurisdiction, would adopt
an ordinance requiring that residential units within the high hazard zone
connect the automatic fire warning devices to the EWFRS maintained in the
Saratoga Fire District office by way of public telephone lines.
Saratoga Frie District would assume all responsibility for the management and
maintenance of the EWFRS and intends to charge monthly fees for recovering
its costs.. The City of Saratoga would not assume any responsibility or
liability for the system beyond..the requirement that new residential units
install the fire detection devices at time of construction.
Recommendation
Adopt the attached ordinance amending the City's uniform building code
requiring that fire detection devices be installed within new construction
in the high fire hazard zone of the City.
Fiscal Impacts
There are no known fiscal impacts upon the City government.

SECTION 3: Section 3 -9 of Article II of Chapter 3 of the Saratoga City
Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 3 -9. Uniform Building Code — Additions, Deletions and
Amendments.
The following additions, deletions and amendments
are hereby made to the 1982 Uniform Building Code hereinabove
adopted by reference:
Sec. 3-9.1 Reserved.
Sec. 3 -9.2.

Sec. 3-9.7. Reserved.
Sec. 3 -9.8. Section 1210 Amended. Section 1210 of the
Uniform Building Code, 1982 Edition, is hereby amended to read
as follows:
Section 1210(a)(1). Findings. Reference is hereby
made to Sheets 96, 111, 125 and 126 of the Santa Clara County
Cadastral Planimetrics Maps, showing and delineating thereon
an area of the City which has been designated as a hazardous
fire area, three copies of which Maps have been filed with the
Clerk of the City for use and examination by the public, and
which Maps are hereby specifically referred to and incorporated
herein by reference.
Section 9.110 of the Fire Prevention Code of the
City of Saratoga defines, inter alia, a "hazardous fire area" as
"any land which is covered with grass, grain, brush or forest,
whether privately or publicly owned, 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 City Council of the City of Saratoga
has found and determined that the area designated as a
hazardous fire area on each of the foregoing sheets of the
aforementioned Maps does constitute a "hazardous fire area"
within the aforementioned definition. The response time of
emergency equipment to calls for aid in the hazardous fire area
is impaired due to: (1) the non - availability of access to some
portions of the hazardous fire area, (2) the existence of steep,
narrow streets and roadways located in the hazardous fire area,
(3) the lack of connecting streets or roadways in the the
-2-
hazardous fire area, and (4) the unusual topography of the
hazardous fire area. Further, the presence of heavy vegetation
in the hazardous fire area increases the potential for the rapid
spread of any fire which may start in that area, particularly
during seasonal dry spells.
In order to provide timely life safety warning to
inhabitants of residential structures located in the designated
hazardous fire area, and to provide the earliest possible
opportunity to alert fire suppression personnel of any potential
fire condition in the hazardous fire area, it is necessary for the
City to amend Section 1210 of the Uniform Building Code, 1982
Edition, pertaining to fire warning and sprinkler systems.
(2) Fire Warning Systems. Every dwelling unit
and every guest room in a hotel or lodging house used for
sleeping purposes shall be provided with smoke detectors
conforming to U.B.C. Standard No. 43 -6. In dwelling units,
detectors shall be mounted on the ceiling or wall at a point
centrally located in the corridor or area giving access to rooms
used for sleeping purposes. In an efficiency dwelling unit, hotel
sleeping room and in hotel suites, the detector shall be
centrally located on the ceiling of the main room or hotel
sleeping room. Where sleeping rooms are on an upper level, the
detector shall be placed at the center of the ceiling directly
above the stairway. All detectors shall be located in
accordance with approved manufacturer's instructions. When
actuated, the detector shall provide an alarm in the dwelling
unit or guest room.
When alterations, repairs or additions
requiring a permit and having a valuation in excess of One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000) occur, or when one or more sleeping
rooms are added or created in existing Group R, Division 3
Occupancies, the entire building shall be provided with smoke
detectors located as required for new Group R, Division 3
Occupancies.
In new construction, required smoke detectors
shall receive their primary power from the building wiring when
such wiring is served from a commercial source. Wiring shall
be permanent and without a disconnecting switch other than
those required for overcurrent protection. Smoke detectors
may be battery operated when installed in existing buildings, or
in buildings without commercial power, or in buildings which
undergo alterations, repairs or additions regulated by the
second paragraph of this subsection.
A smoke detector shall be installed in the
basement of dwelling units having a stairway which opens from
the basement into the dwelling. Such detector shall be
connected to a sounding device or other detector to provide an
alarm which will be audible in the sleeping area.
-3-
(3) Early Warning Fire Reporting System. In
addition to the requirements contained in subsection 2 above,
an Early Warning Fire Reporting System shall be installed and
maintained in a fully operational condition in each new dwelling
upon which construction is commenced from and after the
effective date of this ordinance in the hazardous fire area
described, . defined and delineated in subsection (1) above.
Further, when an existing dwelling located in the described,
defined and delineated hazardous fire area is altered, repaired,
added to, or expanded so as to increase the floor space under
roof by. fifty percent (50 %) or more of the amount of floor
space under roof, immediately prior to such alteration, repair,
addition or expansion, an Early Warning Fire Reporting System
shall be installed and maintained in a fully operational condition
in each such dwelling. For the purposes of this paragraph, any
alteration, repair, addition or expansion shall be considered as
equalling or exceeding the above fifty percent (50 %) limit
where the work of construction or improvement is done at
different time intervals requiring two (2) or more building
permits within a period of five (5) years after completion of the
first improvement, where although each is for a project
emcompassing an addition of less than fifty percent (50 %) of
increased floor space, but which when combined with other
expansions during said five (5) year period of time, increased
the amount of floor space under roof by fifty percent (50 %) or.
more of that amount which existed immediately prior to the
commencement of the first of the several alterations, repairs,
additions, or expansions.
An Early Warning Fire Reporting System may
be installed in any dwelling located within the city limits of the
City of Saratoga other than within that hazardous fire area
described, defined and delineated in subsection (1) above.

MEMO TO: COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY OF SARATOGA
RE: SARATOGA FIRE DISTRICT EARLY WARNING ALARM SYSTEM
FROM: ERNEST O.KRAULE, CHIEF, SARATOGA FIRE DEPARTMENT
DATE: 28 AUGUST 1984
As early as 1975 the Saratoga Fire District explored with the City of
Saratoga the Fire and Life Safety needs of the South and Southwestern
hillside area of the city.. This area is defined as a hazardous fire area
in accord with the Santa Clara County Cadastral Planimetric maps and
officially recognized as such by the City of Saratoga and the Saratoga
Fire District.
Meetings with then City Manager Robert Beyer(Summer,1978) and Mr.Wimberly,
Director of Inspection Services(20 July 1979) related to the emergency needs
of the area and the need for an Early Warning Alarm System within the area
prompted the Saratoga Fire District Board of Commissioners by Resolution,
14 April 1980, to .study the development of a system which could be utilized
to immediately alert occupants of residences in the hazardous area of the
presence of an emergency and, at the same time, automatically summon fire
fighting and life saving assistance.
Based on this encouragement from the City of Saratoga and the study of tech-
nologies supporting the presence of such systems in commercial and industrial
complexes as reported by the Federal Management Agency of the U.S.Fire Admin-
istration, the Fire District found that such a system could,indeed,be feasible
for residences in the hazardous fire area where sizes'of homes range from 4,500
to 9,750 square feet. An Early Warning Alarm System has been established pro-
viding a means of immediately alerting occupants of residences in the area
of the presence of fire or other emergency in their' residence and, at the
same time, automatically summoning fire fighting and life saving assistance.
John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory reports that: "It takes a
fire department 5 to 6 minutes to respond to the average residential fire
after notification. However,in the absence of an automatic notification
system, the total elapsed time between the start of a fire and the time
the fire department arrives is,on the average,more than 27 minutes." It
should be noted that the time is increased considerably where detection.:6f
the existence of a fire is delayed. The intrinsic value of the Early Warning
Alarm System lies in the reduction of lapsed time between the incidence of
an emergency and, in a matter of seconds, immediate notifi.ca,tion'directTy
to the Saratoga Fire District.
The Goal: Better Fire Prevention, Better Emergency Detection and Reporting
and Early and Immediate Notification giving the Saratoga Fire Department
the upper hand in meeting all emergencies!
