APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO CONDITIONALLY APPROVE DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION NO. 03- 269 TO CONSTRUCT A 302.5 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO A HOME AT 14403 SOBEY ROAD STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing and adopt resolution upholding the Planning Commission's decision. John Livingstone, Associate Planner, presented staff report. Planner Livingstone explained on February 25, 2004 the Planning Commission approved a 302.5 square foot addition to a home with the condition that the existing perimeter fencing -including but not limited to the stucco wall base with wrought iron, iron gates and trellis - be brought into compliance with the City Code Section 15-29 and other codes prior to final inspection approval. 6 Planner Livingstone explained that the applicant is now appealing condition of approval #1 and would like to obtain approval for the 302.5 square foot addition, and maintain the existing perimeter wall with wrought iron above, iron gates and trellis. Planner Livingstone briefly explained the background of the project Councilmember Streit asked if the City could prove that the fence wasn't built prior to 1987. Planner Livingstone replied that the City had one building permit on file that approved a aft wall. Councilmember Streit asked if there has been any complaints from the neighbors. Planner Livingstone replied that there have never been any complaints regarding the fence. Bill Gates noted that he represented the Ashjay family located at 14403 Sobey Road. Mr. Gates stated that he was present tonight to request that the permit be approved with out the condition attached. Mr. Gates stated that there are three important things to point out to the Council this evening, reasons they feel the fence should not be changed: • 14403 Sobey Road is not a reverse corner lot -the fence requirement not exceeding 3 feet doesn't apply to this property. This is the only lot in this area designated as a reverse comer lot -when actually all the lots are the same. It is not fare to demand that the fence be changed after the property owner received approval for the Planning Department and it has been up for many years. The Ashjay'shave spent over $100,000 on the fence. What evidence does the City have that the fence located at 14403 Sobey Road, isn't the same height as in 1987. (Mr. Gates submitted statements from several neighbors stating that the fence is the same height prior to 1987). Mayor Waltonsmith asked Director Sullivan to explain "reverse corner lots" Director Sullivan explained "reverse corner lots" and stated that the Ashjay's property is a reverse corner lot and so it the one across the street. Councilmember Kline stated that corner lots are considered special lots in most cities, most of the time variances are granted for these types of lots. Councilmember Kline asked if this property owner has asked for any variances. Director Sullivan replied no. Councilmember Bogosian stated that he isn't seeing the nexus between the fence and the trigger that is requiring the fence to be removed. Councilmember Bogosian stated that this is a beautiful piece of property and will support overturning the Planning Commission Councilmember Streit stated that he has a multiple of reasons to overturn the Planning Commission: • Beautiful piece of property, owners have done a great job of landscaping and remodeling the property • Several permits that show the fence is approved • No proof that the fence wasn't the same height in 1987 Councilmember Kline stated that he would support overturning the Planning Commission's decision. KLINE/STREIT MOVED TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK A RESOLUTION TO GRANT THE APPEAL. MOTION PASSED 5-0. 4.

The areas that are suggested to be studied relate to the development standards. Refemng to the Mixed Use Standards the Planning Commission was directed to study, Director Sullivan pointed out that in order to accomplish the development standards several individual amendments to the Zoning Code must be made. Councilmember Streit asked who would have the discretion in regards to the height of sound walls between residential and commercial properties.

The maximum height of the sound wall can be up to 10 feet.

Cary Bloomquist, Administrative Analyst, presented staff report. Analyst Bloomquist explained that at the March 17, 2004 City Council meeting staff was directed to perform reference checks on Seigler Associates and Randall Funding & Development grant writing firms and to perform demographic analysis on cities similar to Saratoga in an effort to determine how similar cities meet their grant writing needs. Analyst Bloomquist stated that he conducted reference checks on both fines by contacting the references listed on the RFP. Most references responded, and the overall level of satisfaction for each fine was high. Analyst Bloomquist stated that staff performed a search of all cities in California demographically similar to Saratoga utilizing data from the 2000 U.S. Census. Analyst Bloomquist explained the results noting that in most cities staff acts as the grant writer. Analyst Bloomquist stated that most cities contacted do very limited grant writing. When grant funds are solicited, they are typically non-competitive grants for relatively small funding awards. Analyst Bloomquist stated that staff also contacted neighboring cities and staff also acts as the grant writer. Analyst Bloomquist concluded that each firm is nearly equally qualified, however staff recommends Randall Funding & Development, which has a local office, appears to be more aggressive/proactive, and has an excellent tract record of winning competitive grant dollars. After reviewing the comparisons, Councilmember Bogosian stated that the City is taking it's chance hiring a grant writer because there is no guarantee that the city will receive any grants. 10 Analyst Bloomquist stated that Randall Funding has stated that they can design their program to meet any cities needs. Vice Mayor King asked if other non-profits in the city could use the grant writer. Concerned with the lack of money for matching funds, Mayor Waltonsmith asked if the City would have control over what grants are apply for. Dan Randall, CEO/ Randall Funding & Development, stated that the first thing his company would do is a needs assessment. Referring to Mayor Waltonsmith's question, Mr. Randall stated that they do not apply for grants without their client's written approval. Responding to Vice Mayor King's question, nonprofits can use their services, although it's up to the City. Mr. Randall stated that his company has 68-professional grant writers and several contract grant writers they can hire if needed. In regards to other groups using the City's grant writer contract, Councilmember Kline asked who pays the fee. Mr. Randall stated that the City should have policy guidelines regarding other parties using the contract. Councilmember Bogosian stated that if the City Council approves the contract, clear use polices should be written. Councilmember Kline stated that the City should have done this years ago and noted that he would support the monthly fee option. Councilmember Bogosian requested that a status report in regards to this contract be brought back to Council in six months. Consensus of the City Council to direct staff to draft a set of guidelines regarding grant writer services and return in six months with a status report.

Director Cherbone explained the City's design consultant, Steve Kikuchi, began working with the Arts Commission to develop the design for the entry. The proposed design plan uses an arch as the main theme. As a substitute for the water feature, the design incorporates a place for art. Vice Mayor King asked if there's been any thought that this setting could be used as another place for a holiday tree. Director Cherbone noted it could be a site for another holiday tree all that would be needed are lights. Councilmember Bogosian asked who came up with the arch. Tracy Halgren, Chair/Arts Commission, stated that the Commission looked at the original conceptual designs and comments submitted by the neighbors and business owners.
