RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SARATOGA UPHOLDING A DECISION O1~ THE SITE REVIEW
COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. John Hamm, the applicants, have applied to the
City of Saratoga for design review approval to construct a second story expansion to
the residence located at 14104 Okanogan Drive, Saratoga, California, such application
being identified as A-1169, and
WHEREAS, on February 26, 1986, the Site Review Committee of the City
of Saratoga conducted a public hearing on said application, and following the
conclusion thereof, the Site Review Committee approved the application; and
WHEREAS, Thomas and Linda Parker have appealed the decision of the
Site Review Committee to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on April 2, 1986, the City Council conducted a de novo public
hearing on the appeal, at which time any person interested in the matter was given an
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and considered the staff reports,
minutes of proceedings conducted by the Site Review Committee relating to said
application, and the written and oral evidence presented to the City Council in support
of and in opposition to the appeal,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga, at its
meeting on April 2, 1986, by a vote of 4-0 with Councilmember Clevenger absent, did
resolve as follows:
1. The appeal from the Site Review Committee was denied and the
decision of the Site Review Committee was affirmed.
2. The evidence presented did not support the claim by appellants that
the proposed expansion would constitute an unreasonable invasion of
privacy. Landscaping now exists and additional landscaping will be
installed to screen the two residences. In addition, a distance in
excess of 100 feet separates the windows of the addition from the
glass door wall in appellants' bedroom and there is no clear view from
one structure to the other. Any potential privacy impact can be
mitigated.
3. As a condition of approval, the applicants shall install the landscaping
between the residences prior to occupancy, in accordance with the
landscape plan to be approved by staff as provided in Condition No. 1
of the Staff Report dated February 14, 1986.
