Surrounding uses include single-family homes with a combination of both one and two-story structures. Existing structures on site include a 782 square foot one story single-family residence, an 897 square foot detached garage, and a pump house. The average slope of the site is 20.4%. An open space easement is located in the rear portion of the site and Wildcat Creek is located within this easement. Sixteen protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site which include coast redwood, red gum, cedar, and three species of oaks including black oak, valley oak, and coast live oak. The site is located in a geologic unstable area as depicted on the City’s Ground Movement Potential Map as Ps (potential for shallow land sliding). Prior to 2018, the subject site was combined with the adjacent site to the north (15320 Peach Hill Road) to form a single 4.4-acre site. The original site included a 3,700 square feet two story residence, an accessory dwelling unit, a detached garage, and a pump house. On November 14, 2018, the Planning Commission approved a tentative map to subdivide the site into two parcels, a 1.96-acre parcel (Parcel One) and the subject 2.48-acre parcel (Parcel Two). The main residence was located on Parcel One and the remaining structures were located on Parcel Two. Project Description Architecture/Design The proposed residence will be located toward the front of the site. Access to the site is from an existing driveway to Peach Hill Road. Best described as having a “Contemporary” architectural style, the approximately 25-foot-tall residence would include a 3,179 square foot first story, 1,225 square foot second story, and a 1,173 square foot basement. A portion of the basement is less than 42 inches above grade and this 534 square feet of the overall basement area is not counted as floor area. Vehicle parking would be in a basement level three car garage with access to the garage at the rear of the structure. Exterior materials include steel troweled stucco and horizontal wood siding, and stone veneer. All windows would be composed of vinyl clad wood and would be both square and rectangular in shape. The existing 782 square foot one-story single-family dwelling is to be located behind the main residence and will be converted to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). No architectural modifications to the ADU are currently proposed. The existing garage detached garage and the pump house which are both located within the open space easement in the rear half of the site are proposed for removal. The applicant has provided a color and materials board, which will be available for review at the site visit (Attachment 5). Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials. 8 Report to the Planning Commission 15370 Peach Hill Road – Application # PDR21-0010 / ARB21-0015 November 10, 2021 Page | 4 Detail Colors and Materials Exterior Off-White Colored Steel-Troweled Stucco Finish / Wood Siding Trim Tan colored stone trim and wainscot Windows Vinyl Clad-Wood Window w/ Dark Bronze Colored Frames Doors Brown colored wood/glass Roof/Gutter Dark Grey Colored Standing Seam Metal Trees The project arborist inventoried a total of 16 protected trees with the potential to be impacted. These included three coast redwoods, two cedar, two red gum eucalyptus, and nine oak trees. As determined by the City Arborist, two coast live oaks in poor condition in conflict with the design of the project are recommend for removal. All remaining protected trees would be fenced and preserved prior to building permit issuance and throughout the duration of the project. Details of the arborist’s findings and description of the tree to be removed and those trees to be preserved are included in the Arborist Report. (Attachment 2) Landscaping Front yard landscaping will include three existing trees including a coast redwood and two oaks and native grasses. Existing shrubs and a two-foot-tall stone wall along the front property line and adjacent to Peach Hill Road will remain. No additional landscaping is proposed. FINDINGS Design Review The findings required for issuance of a Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section Article 15-45.080 are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support making all of those required findings: a. Site development follows the natural contours of the site, minimizes grading, and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the project was designed to follow the natural contours of the site to minimize the perception of excessive bulk and to integrate the project into the natural environment. The project will include 752 cubic yards of grading with 69% (522 cubic yards) of the total grading quantity used to construct the building pad and basement. Other then the 180 cubic yards of grading to construct the driveway and create a relatively level area for an emergency vehicle turnaround area, 50 cubic yards would be used outside the building perimeter for landscaped areas and to contour the site for drainage purposes. b. All protected trees shall be preserved, as provided in Article 15-50 (Tree Regulations). If constraints exist on the property, the number of protected trees, heritage trees, and native trees approved for removal shall be reduced to an absolute minimum. Removal of any smaller oak trees deemed to be in good health by the City Arborist shall be minimized using the criteria set forth in Section 15-50.080. This finding can be made in the affirmative in the project arborist inventoried a total of 16 protected trees with the potential to be impacted by the project. These included three coast redwoods, two cedar, two red gum eucalyptus, and nine oak trees. Of the total number of trees in the vicinity of the project, 9 Report to the Planning Commission 15370 Peach Hill Road – Application # PDR21-0010 / ARB21-0015 November 10, 2021 Page | 5 two coast live oaks in poor condition in conflict with the location of the main residence are recommend for removal. All remaining protected trees would be fenced and preserved prior to building permit issuance and throughout the duration of the project. Tree protection fencing is required to be installed prior to the issuance of building permits. c. The height of the structure, its location on the site, and its architectural elements are designed to avoid unreasonable impacts to the privacy of adjoining properties and to community viewsheds. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project is a two-story residence located within a semi-rural setting. The project has been designed in a manner to minimize interference with neighboring views and privacy using natural materials and colors to blend the project with the environment and limiting the building height to less than 26 feet. There are no identified community viewsheds in the vicinity of the project. d. The overall mass and height of the structure, and its architectural elements are in scale with the structure itself and with the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative in the project is a two-story residence in a neighborhood with both one and two- story structures, the project concentrates the massing toward the middle of the building footprint. The project includes architectural elements consistent with the proposed architectural style which are in scale with the structure with varying roof heights and projections to reduce the perception of mass. Views of the project would be screened by mature trees and landscaping. e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements that are complementary to the neighborhood streetscape. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that front yard landscaping will include three existing trees including a coast redwood and two oaks and native grasses. Existing shrubs and a two-foot- tall stone wall along the front property line and adjacent to Peach Hill Road will remain. No additional landscaping is proposed. f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the development will not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy as the tallest elements of the structure are located at the center of the site to minimize shadowing, the project meets or exceeds required setbacks, and the orientation of the sun with respect to the location of the site will not cast shadows on adjoining properties. g. The design of the structure and the site development plan is consistent with the Residential Design Handbook, pursuant to Section 15-45.055. This finding can be made in the affirmative because the proposed project incorporates applicable design policies and techniques from the Residential Design Handbook. The overall mass and height of the structure are in scale with the neighborhood; the structure is set back in proportion to the size and shape of the lot; site development follows contours and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. In addition, the proposed materials, colors, and details enhance the architecture in a well-composed, understated manner. 10 Report to the Planning Commission 15370 Peach Hill Road – Application # PDR21-0010 / ARB21-0015 November 10, 2021 Page | 6 h. On hillside lots, the location and the design of the structure avoid unreasonable impacts to ridgelines, significant hillside features, community viewsheds, and is in compliance with Section 15-13.100. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project will include minimal grading outside the area of the driveway and building footprint that could impact significant hillside features. The Zoning Code defines "community view sheds" as any views which are visible from an area which has scenic value for the community. The General Plan reinforces that the western hills and ridgelines are the predominant scenic resource within the city. The project is not located in an area considered to be a community viewshed. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence The applicant contacted the adjacent neighbors regarding the project and received two neighbor notification forms in return with no negative project related comments. The Community Development Department received a letter from a neighboring property owner at 15355 Peach Hill Road questioning the justification to remove the two protected oak trees. The Project Notification Forms and public comments are included as Attachment 3. The City Arborist has reviewed the two oak trees proposed for removal and determined that the trees conflict with the project design, they are both in poor condition, and has made the required findings to recommend their removal. The Community Development Department mailed public notices to property owners within 500 feet of the site. In addition, the public hearing notice and description of the project was published in the Saratoga News ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The project is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, Class 3 (a) of the Public Resources Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of three single-family residences in a residential area. The project, as proposed, is for the construction of a new residence in a suburban, residential area. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 21-014 2. Arborist Report dated November 2, 2021 3.

In addition, we have completed a recent site reconnaissance, and reviewed pertinent technical documents from our office files (S5268) DISCUSSION The applicant proposes to construct a new residence with a partial basement at the subject property. A cottage structure, incinerator, pump station, 2-car garage, and driveway are currently present on the subject property. We understand the subject property was subdivided in 2018 (SUB18-0002). In our feasibility peer review (S5268) of the proposed subdivision, we recommended the completion of a design level geotechnical investigation if a new residence was to be constructed. Estimates of project grading include 752 cubic yards of cut and no fill. SITE CONDITIONS The proposed site is characterized by east-facing hillside topography descending from Peach Hill Road. Along the ridge near Peach Hill Road slopes are gentle (~10:1 H:V) but steepen eastward to 2.5:1 (H:V) downslope of the existing cottage. The cottage is accessed by a paved driveway to be demolished and replaced. Below the cottage the driveway is not paved and descends to an existing 2-car garage. Site drainage is generally intercepted by a northeast directed swale. The site slopes, driveway, and swale descend to an armored channel Attachment 6 34 Chris Riordan August 13, 2021 Page 2 S6211 at the base of the slope that serves as a tributary for Wildcat Creek. The armored channel drains north and runs adjacent to the 2-car garage. During our site reconnaissance we observed phreatophytes trending southwest- northeast upslope of the swale. We also observed minor cuts and fills associated with existing site improvements and previous site grading. The subject property is underlain, at depth, by sedimentary bedrock materials of the Santa Clara Formation. The Project Geotechnical Consultant advanced four exploratory borings to a maximum depth of 30 feet below the ground surface. The Consultant reports encountering up to 2.5 feet of fill that overly a native soil profile. No groundwater was encountered during site investigation. The proposed building site is located within a mapped “Sun” area (stable unconsolidated material on gentle slopes) while portions of the property downslope of the proposed future residence are within a mapped “Ps” area (potential for shallow landsliding). Portions of the property mapped within a Ps area are also mapped within the State Earthquake Induced Landslide Hazard zone. The San Andreas Fault is mapped approximately 2.2 miles southwest of the site. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION The proposed site development is constrained primarily by strong seismic ground shaking, undocumented fill materials, and potentially expansive soils and bedrock. The applicant’s geotechnical consultant has performed a site investigation and provides recommendations that are in general conformance with prevailing professional standards. The Consultant recommends basement and at-grade portions of the structure gain support from native soil materials at-depth (i.e., mat-slab for basement excavations and drilled pier and grade beam for at-grade portions). We recommend approval of project Geotechnical Clearance with the following conditions attached: 1. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical consultant should review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project building and grading plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements including final discharge locations for concentrated run-off, and design parameters for foundations and retaining walls, etc.) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. The results of the geotechnical plan review should be organized by the Project Geotechnical Consultant in a letter and submitted to the City for review by the City Engineer prior to issuance of building permits. 2. Geotechnical Construction Inspections - The geotechnical consultant should inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections should include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, and excavations for foundations prior to the placement of steel and concrete. The Consultant should inspect and log pier drilling and basement excavations to confirm appropriate embedment into uniform and competent native earth materials. The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project should be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final (as-built) project approval. 35 Chris Riordan August 13, 2021 Page 3 S6211 LIMITATIONS This geotechnical peer review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the City in its discretionary permit decisions. Our services have been limited to review of the documents previously identified, and a visual review of the property. Our opinions and conclusions are made in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices of the geotechnical profession. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied. DTS:CS:TS 36 EX.

Planning Commission Comments Form Your Name Dean Harris Phone Number Email Address Comments Planning Commission Community Development Department 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 To Whom It May Concern, This letter is in response to the proposal to build a 5,718 sq ft two story home by Howell Development and Investments, Inc at 15320A Peach Hill Road, Saratoga and their request to remove two protected very mature oak trees. First, I would like to say we are very happy, and looking forward to seeing a new family eventually move into the adjoining lot. We moved to Peach Hill Road 2 years ago and decided to purchase our property because of the maturity of the trees in the area and the chance to live in and take care of a 1928 Monterrey Colonial property. The area is surrounded by protected giant oaks and redwoods many that have likely been here for a century (or more) and part of the reason we 53 decided to designate our property at 15320 Peach Hill as a landmark given its architectural significance and surrounding mature gardens. We would like to promote the surrounding lots to protect the grove of mature oak trees wherever possible. The oaks on 15320, 15320A, and 15288 are all part of a grove of oak trees that span up from Piedmont Road and all the way up the stream basin (adjoining open easement at the back side of our properties) and extend up towards the mountain and support all kinds of diverse wildlife such as cooper hawks, brown eagles, owls, deer’s, coyotes, wild turkeys and numerous other birds. I would like to think that any home buyer interested in this area would like to keep the mature and protected oaks on the property to continue to promote this habitat and maintain the beautiful views of the mature and historic oaks. Per the proposed building footprint, the home appears to have more than adequate distance from the mature oak trees and I would like to think that building this home does not require cutting them down. The City should do the right thing for the trees to help protect their future, but also allow the developer to build the home without having to destroy the trees. If square footage is posing a problem, please keep in mind that 7 of the 9 houses in the surrounding neighborhood are less than 3900 sq ft. Has the city recommended a square footage footprint that allows the trees to be saved? Thank You, Dean and Karla Harris Saratoga, CA 95070 Email not displaying correctly?

Eight (8) protected ash trees in conflict with the building footprint are proposed for removal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 21-022 approving the project subject to conditions of approval included in Attachment 1. Pursuant to City Code Section 15-45.060(a)(3), Design Review Approval by the Planning Commission is required as the project includes a new structure over eighteen feet in height.

Surrounding uses include both one- and two-story single-family homes and West Valley Junior College to the west. A total of 13 protected trees are located on site including ash, coast live oak, and valley oak. The site is located within two geologic unstable areas as depicted on the City’s Ground Movement Potential Map - the southeastern slopes of the site are mapped within the ‘Ps’ zone (potential for shallow land sliding and the remainder of the site including the 56 Report to the Planning Commission 14208 Short Hill Court– Application # PDR21-0013/ARB21-0063 November 10, 2021 Page | 3 area of the proposed improvements are mapped ‘Sbr’ (stable bedrock). The site is considered a “triangle” parcel as it has only three sides – the front property line borders Short Hill Court, the side property is the northern property line adjacent to 14156 Short Hill Court and the rear property line is the eastern property line adjacent to 14195 Chester Avenue. Project Description The architectural style of the proposed residence can best be described as “Neo-Mediterranean”. The elements of the structure that support the architectural style include a symmetrical façade which stretches horizontally rather than vertically, a stucco exterior, a low-pitched tiled roof, and both arched and square windows. Exterior materials include a clay tile roof with a blend of red and brown tiles, a dark beige colored smooth stucco exterior, and tan colored widows and trim. Windows would be recessed vinyl clad wood windows that are tan in color with brown colored cast stone sills. Porch railings will black colored wrought iron. A circular driveway located in the northwest corner of the site will provide vehicular access to the project. The circular driveway will be located on a portion of Short Hill Court with an outside curve having a radius of 130° and a length of 159 feet. To evaluate if the location of the driveway on the curve and if the available site distance had the potential to impact public safety, the Public Works Department evaluated the location of the circular driveway on Short Hill Court and determined that based on the City’s site distance standards at street corners, the location of the circular driveway and available site distance would not be a hazard for motorists traveling north on Short Hill Court. The applicant has provided a color and materials board, which will be available for review at the site visit. Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials. Detail Colors and Materials Exterior Dark Beige Color Smooth Plaster Windows / Trim Tan Colored Vinyl Clad Wood Windows Doors Metal Entry Door with Decorative Wrought Iron Brown-Stained Wood Garage Doors Roof Clay Tile Roof – Old World Blend Trees The project arborist inventoried a total of 13 trees on site. As determined by the City Arborist, eight (8) protected ash trees that are either in poor condition or conflict with the footprint of the proposed residence are recommended for removal. All remaining protected trees would be fenced and preserved prior to building permit issuance and throughout the duration of the project. Tree protection fencing is required to be installed prior to the issuance of building permits. Details of the arborist’s findings and description of the tree to be removed and those trees to be preserved are included in the Arborist Report. (Attachment 2) 57 Report to the Planning Commission 14208 Short Hill Court– Application # PDR21-0013/ARB21-0063 November 10, 2021 Page | 4 Landscaping Proposed front yard landscaping would feature predominantly drought tolerant ground covers, flowering annuals, and native shrubs. Trees to be planted include three 24” coast live oaks within the front setback, two 15-gallon crepe myrtle near the driveway, and four 24” flowering pear between the building footprint and the northern property line. Proposed hardscape would include a concrete circular driveway and pathways. No formal landscaping is proposed for the remainder of the site. FINDINGS The findings required for issuance of a Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section Article 15-45.080 are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support making all of those required findings: a. Site development follows the natural contours of the site, minimizes grading, and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project minimizes changes to the contours of the site. Grading will be limited to leveling the site to create a flat building pad and contouring the site to direct stormwater to landscaping and retention areas. Grading is minimized as the new structure will be in an area of the site that is relatively level. b. All protected trees shall be preserved, as provided in Article 15-50 (Tree Regulations). If constraints exist on the property, the number of protected trees, heritage trees, and native trees approved for removal shall be reduced to an absolute minimum. Removal of any smaller oak trees deemed to be in good health by the City Arborist shall be minimized using the criteria set forth in Section 15-50.080.This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the number of trees to be removed is limited eight ash trees which were evaluated by the City Arborist as being in poor condition or conflict with the project. None of the existing oaks are proposed for removal. Tree protection fencing is required to be installed prior to the issuance of building permits and shall remain in place for project duration. c. The height of the structure, its location on the site, and its architectural elements are designed to avoid unreasonable impacts to the privacy of adjoining properties and to community viewsheds. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project is a single-story structure so there will be no second story windows, elevated decks or balconies to impact the privacy of adjoining properties. With both existing and proposed landscaping there should not be an increase of views into adjacent properties. No community view sheds are in the vicinity of the project. d. The overall mass and height of the structure, and its architectural elements are in scale with the structure itself and with the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the single-story residence is similar in overall mass and height to the other houses on Short Hill Court that are a mix of both one- and two-story structures. The mass and height of the building is concentrated toward the center of the building footprint with reduced height roof forms for the left and right architectural elements to smooth the transition to the neighboring structures. The architectural elements of the structure are true 58 Report to the Planning Commission 14208 Short Hill Court– Application # PDR21-0013/ARB21-0063 November 10, 2021 Page | 5 to the Mediterranean style with varying roof heights and projections to reduce the perception of mass. e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements that are complementary to the neighborhood streetscape. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the front hardscape will be limited to a circular driveway and a small walkway from the driveway to the side of the house. Proposed front yard landscaping would feature predominantly drought tolerant ground covers, flowering annuals, and native shrubs. Trees to be planted include three 24” coast live oaks within the front setback, two 15-gallon crepe myrtle near the driveway, and four 24” flowering pear between the building footprint and the northern property line. Proposed hardscape would include a concrete circular driveway and pathways. No formal landscaping is proposed for the remainder of the site. Additional landscaping will include drought tolerant groundcovers and one Crepe Myrtle. f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the development will not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy as the tallest elements of the structure are located at the center of the site to minimize shadowing, the project meets or exceeds required setbacks, and the orientation of the sun with respect to the location of the site will not cast shadows on adjoining properties. g. The design of the structure and the site development plan is consistent with the Residential Design Handbook, pursuant to Section 15-45.055. This finding can be made in the affirmative because the proposed project incorporates applicable design policies and techniques from the Residential Design Handbook. The overall mass and height of the structure are in scale with the neighborhood; the structure is set back in proportion to the size and shape of the lot; site development follows contours and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. In addition, the proposed materials, colors, and details enhance the architecture in a well-composed, understated manner. h. On hillside lots, the location and the design of the structure avoid unreasonable impacts to ridgelines, significant hillside features, community viewsheds, and is in compliance with Section 15-13.100. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project will include minimal grading outside the area of the driveway and building footprint that could impact significant hillside features. The Zoning Code defines "community view sheds" as any views which are visible from an area which has scenic value for the community. The General Plan reinforces that the western hills and ridgelines are the predominant scenic resource within the city. The project is not located in an area considered to be a community viewshed. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence Neighborhood notification forms and project related comments are included as Attachment 3. The neighboring property owner at 14195 Chester Avenue provided comments on potential water runoff from the project site. The City’s Land Development Engineer reviewed the proposed Grading and 59 Report to the Planning Commission 14208 Short Hill Court– Application # PDR21-0013/ARB21-0063 November 10, 2021 Page | 6 Drainage Plan and determined that the project complies with all City requirements regarding drainage and that the project will either detain or retain any increase in drainage created by the project such that downslope properties will not be negatively impacted by any increase in site runoff. Staff received two project related comments from the adjacent neighbor to the north located at 14156 Short Hill Court. This neighbor is concerned that 1) the location of the proposed driveway on the curved portion of Short Hill Court could pose a safety issue and 2) that the four flowering pear trees proposed to be planted along the north property line can grow to a height of 30 to 40 feet and that trees of this height in this location have the potential to cast shadows on the south portion of her yard. Possible safety issues related to the location of the projects driveway on Short Hill Court was discussed earlier in this report. The proposed house is a one-story residence, and the adjacent residence is a two-story structure. The projects north facing elevation includes both bedroom and living room windows and a patio accessed from the living room. The four flowering pear trees are intended to provide privacy for the aforementioned areas as the second story windows of the adjacent residence overlook the project site. The public hearing notice and description of the project was published in the Saratoga News. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The project is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, Class 3 (a) of the Public Resources Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of three single-family residences in a residential area. The project, as proposed, is for the construction of a new residence in a suburban, residential area. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 21-022 2. Arborist Report dated September 3, 2021 3.

Based on the results of the survey, it is our opinion that the story pole location and highest roof ridge were installed in accordance with the location and height of the proposed house shown on the architectural plans prepared by Chris Spaulding Architect, dated June 2, 2021. Specifically, the story pole highest roof ridge elevation is determined to be 287.32 feet, which is higher than the roof ridge height of 287.25 feet shown on the plans. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me. Sincerely Yours, Ninh M. Le, PE Project Manager Attachment 4 82 CITY of SARATOGA 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE • SARATOGA, CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 868-1247 MEMORANDUM TO: Nicole Johnson, Senior Planner DATE: June 10, 2021 FROM: Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc., City Geotechnical Consultant SUBJECT: Geotechnical Peer Review (S6171) RE: Yu; New Residence GEO21-0019 14208 Short Hill Court At your request, we have completed a geotechnical peer review of the subject application using: •Geotechnical Investigation (report) prepared by Wayne Ting and Associates, Inc., dated May 26, 2021; •Topographic Survey (1 sheet) prepared by LC Engineering, Inc., dated February 15, 2021; •Civil Plans (4 sheets) prepared by RW Engineering, Inc., dated May 30, 2021; and •Architectural Plans (7 sheets) prepared by Chris Spaulding Architect, Inc., dated June 2, 2021. In addition, we have reviewed pertinent documents from our office files and discussed the project with the applicant’s Geotechnical Consultant. DISCUSSION We understand the applicant proposes to construct a new single story main residence at the subject site. We also understand the site is currently vacant. Additional site improvements include driveway and walkway improvements, as well as a deck, patio and attached garage. Up to approximately 4 feet of fill is proposed at the southern portion of the residence. Estimates of project grading include 140 cubic yards of cut and 240 cubic yards of fill. SITE CONDITIONS The subject property is situated on a north trending ridge flanked by moderately steep east facing slopes. Drainage at the site is characterized by sheet flow to the southeast, or to the south and west where it is intercepted by existing drainage improvements along Short Hill Court. The Project Geotechnical Consultant advanced two exploratory borings at the subject property to a maximum depth explored of 12.5 feet below the ground surface. The Project Geotechnical Consultant reports encountering approximately 2 to 2.5 feet of fill of sandy clay (CL), overlying materials of the Santa Clara Formation (SW) in the vicinity of the proposed improvements. Geotechnical laboratory testing by the applicant’s Consultant yielded a Plasticity Index (PI) of 20 percent in a sample of site surficial soils. Southeastern slopes on the property are within a mapped ‘Ps’ zone (potential for shallow landsliding) while the proposed improvements are located within a mapped ‘Sbr’ zone. Attachment 5 83 Nicole Johnson June 10, 2021 Page 2 S6171 The potentially active Shannon Fault is mapped approximately 0.2 miles northeast of the site, and the active San Andreas Fault is mapped approximately 3.9 miles southwest of the site. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed development is potentially constrained by expansive earth materials, moderately steep slopes, and anticipated strong seismic ground shaking. It appears that the Project Geotechnical Consultant has provided geotechnical recommendations for the proposed new residence that are consistent with the prevailing standard of geotechnical practice in the area. The Consultant provides recommendations for the proposed structure to utilize pier and grade beam foundations extending into bedrock of the Santa Clara Formation. We recommend approval of project Geotechnical Clearance with the following conditions attached: 1. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical consultant should review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project building and grading plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site drainage improvements and design parameters for foundations, etc.) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. The results of the geotechnical plan review should be organized by the Project Geotechnical Consultant in a letter and submitted to the City for review by the City Engineer prior to issuance of building permits. 2. Geotechnical Construction Inspections - The geotechnical consultant should inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections should include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, and excavations for foundations prior to the placement of steel and concrete. The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project should be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final (as-built) project approval. LIMITATIONS This geotechnical peer review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the City in its discretionary permit decisions. Our services have been limited to review of the documents previously identified and a visual review of the property. Our opinions and conclusions are made in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices of the geotechnical profession. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Planning Commission Comments Form Your Name Eugen Kim Phone Number Field not completed. Email Address Comments Hello, the following are some questions/comments in regards to 14208 Short Hill Court. Q1) The proposed building is located relatively close to the neighbors next door and across the street, and the property is on an incline overlooking the neighbors' homes. What plans regarding additional landscaping are in place, if any, to preserve the privacy of the neighbors, and are they sufficient? Q2) Short Hill Court is a narrow street. According to the plans, the eastmost driveway appears to be directly facing the driveway for 14199 Short Hill Court. 14208 Short Hill Court stretches along a good portion of Short Hill Court. Would it be at all possible to offset the driveway to the east or west along the property line? Q3) The plans state the construction hours as 7:30am-6:00pm M-F and 9:00am-5:00pm on Saturday, then states "No construction allowed on Sundays, Weekends & Holidays". Please clarify regarding Saturday/Weekends. Thank you for reading. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. 98
