ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
1. DR-89-039 - Pearce, 14857 Bohlman Rd.
A review of minor alterations to approved plans for the construc-
tion of a single family residence.
Mr. Avilas, the architect, presented the proposed change required
by the structural engineer. A small storage room was added to
straighten a building wall and the reduction of the ridgeline
height.
The Committee concurred with staff determination that the change
was minor and can be approved administratively.
2. DR-90-014 - Bhatnagar, 15092 Sobey Rd.
The architect reviewed the plans to revise the interior basement
space to reduce the complexity of the foundation wall. Addition-
ally, the architect showed a proposed ground level window in the
basement area. Since the revisions did not increase building
square footage and a negligible window change, the revisions could
be considered minor and could be approved administratively.
3. Rogers & Brooks, San Marcos Heights Subdivision, Crisp Ave.
The Committee reviewed the'proposed change to the sewer line
extension within the development. Staff pointed out that the
change was proposed to preserve several mature trees. While the
sewer line extension would require some trees, they were deter-
mined by the City Horticulturist to be inferior to the trees to be
preserved. Staff stated that any tree removal will require re-
placement within the subdivision.
The Committee concluded that the relocation of the sewer line
would result in a positive change which could be handled adminis-
tratively.
The Planning Director presented the applicant's request to install
entry treatments at both Crisp and Gypsy Hill entrances. The
Planning Director stated his concern regarding any barrier at
Crisp as of the subdiv anticipated to blend
with the existing neighborhood.
The Committee concluded that this request should be reviewed at a
public hearing after the Commissioners had the opportunity to
review the site conditions.
4. City of Saratoga, Review of a Draft Noise Ordinance Amending
Article 7-30 of the City Code
The City Attorney reviewed both the existing ordinance and the
proposed draft. He than responded to Committee and public ques-
tions.
