be read carefully.
I, the applicant, understand that by applying for a permit
to alter such a resource that the site of this resource will
be subject to the limitations and provisions of Ordinance No.

VI. Recommendation of Commission to (circle one):
-City Council /Planning Commission /Community Development Department
A. The Heritage Preservation Commission is:for /against the
proposed designation /permit application." -
B. Conucents: The William King Residence is an important heritage
resource for our community because the original structure, built in
approximately 1870, represents a period of Saratoga history when
early structures were simple in design and represented the pioneer
atmosphere of the community. The original redwood structure, though
modified and added to in recent years, is still intact and has the
Two -story Pioneer style clearly defined. The original owner, who was
one of the founders and owners of the Paper Mill, was an important
and prominent member of the community, thus giving an added quality
to this resource.
4
C. Findings: 1. The William King Residence exemplifies and
reflects special elements of the architectural history of
Saratoga in that it is one of the oldest existant residences
in Saratoga representing the pioneer atmosphere and simple
design characteristic of the 1870's.
2. The residence is identified with William King
one of the founders and owners of the Paper Mill who was
an important and prominent member of the community.
3. The residence embodies the distinctive
characteristics of the Two - Story Pioneer style and conforms
with the simple design parameters of that era.

SDR -1569, V -637, A -9( , Stevan & Lynn Berardo C Page 2
up to the closest sewer line since the site is downhill from that
line (El Puente Way). The hook up line must .travel from the site
to the Fruitvale Avenue line (450 -500 Ft.) and will.cost from
30,000 - 50,000 dollars. The line will pass one other property
not connected to a sewer line which might help reduce the cost
to the applicant of the hook up:.
The City's policy has been to require a sanitary sewer for a
project whenever that is possible.

COMPLIANCE: The existing detached garage maintains a minimum 1.51
side yard setback where a 10' setback would be required. (Normally
a 20' side yard setback is required in the R- 1- 40,000 district but
this site is only 100' wide and is allowed a side yard 100 of the
site width under Section 14.3 of the zoning ordinance.) The
existing garage is only separated from the main structure by 6'
where a minimum of 10' is required. -
The project complies with other ordinance requirements including
being 2,624 sq. ft. under the 6,100 sq. ft. allowable floor area
permitted in the R -1- 40,000.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff can find no record of the building permit for the garage and
the main dwelling because of the age of the structures. It is not
known if the garage or the garage addition which is closest to the
property line are legal. The garage appears to have been located on
the site for sometime but does not seem to have created any significant
adverse impacts thus far.
The minimum distance required between structures is 10'. This dis-
tance is increased by 1' for every 2' in height above the lowest 14'
of either structure. Thus, if the second story is built the distance
separating the structures should be 15'. However, it should be noted
that the garage would be close to the single -story rather than the
two -story portion of the structure.

SDR- 1569, V -637, A- Page 7
OPTIONS
Although the site is narrower than what is normally permitted in the
R -1- 40,000 district, there are options available to the applicant which
would not require a variance:
#1. The applicant could tear down the existing detached garage and
build a new detached garage behind the main dwelling in compliance
with ordinance setback requirements. This option would require
the extension of the existing driveway and the removal of a
fruit tree and portions of the rear yard landscaping.
#2. The applicant could attach a new garage to the front or rear
of the main dwelling and eliminate the existing garage. This
option could significantly impact the floor plans proposed by
the applicant and existing landscaped areas although there is
sufficient room on the site to accommodate either alternative
without a variance.
Both of the options listed above would cost the applicant substantially
more to complete the project than anticipated. It should be noted
that cost to the applicant.for compliance with a regulation can not
be the sole reason for 'gran'ting'a_va.riance., All five findings as
required by Article 17 must be made before a variance is granted.
FINDINGS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Practical Difficulty or Unnecessary Physical Hardship
The subject property is 50' narrower than required in the R -1- 40,000
District. However, this circumstance in itself does not warrant
a variance in that there are options available to the applicant
which would not require a variance. There are no physical cir-
cumstances associated with the property which make these options
untenable.
Exceptional or Extraordinary Circumstances
There are two exceptional circumstances associated with this
property not generally applicable to other properties in the
R -1- 40,000 district: 1) the site is 100' wide where 150' is
required; and, 2) the structure which is subject to the variance
has existed on the site for a considerable period of time. How-
ever, the options listed above are not made untenable by these
circumstances so a variance is not warranted because of them.
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
Report to the Planning Commission 6/1/84
SDR -1569, V -637, A -� , Page 8
associated with the property which would warrant a variance and
there are options available to the applicant that would comply
with ordinance requirements.
5. Public Health, Safety and Welfare
The granting of the variance would be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity. A 1.5' side yard could create
an adverse fire hazard.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff cannot make all five of the required findings
and therefore recommends that variance request V -637 be denied.
However, if the Planning Commission determines that a variance is
appropirate for this project, approval should be subject to the
following conditions:
1. The existing garage shall be-modified so that it maintains a
minimum 6:5' side yard setback (the existing setback of the
northeastern corner of the garage) to improve access to the
eastern side of the structure. Revised plans showing this shall
be submitted for staff review and approval prior to issuance of
building permits.
2. Applicant shall submit: elevations of any revisions to the appearance
of the garage. .

Roof Materials: Natural Wood.Shakes
Impact on Privacy and Views: The proposed second level deck and
.rear master bedroom windows could have an adverse impact on the privacy of the
adjacent property to the west. This can be mitigated by removing the deck and
and installing landscaping to screen the master bedroom windows. Opaque.windows
could be used for the bathroom area on the eastern side of the second- story. -to
eliminate privacy impacts. The project will not have an adverse impact.on
views due to its location and relatively low profile height.
Site Restrictions: The site is 100' wide. The standard width
for a R -1- 40,000 lot is 1501.
Compatibility: There is a low profile two - story structure to the
west of the site and what appears to be a small two -story structure
to the east of the site. The proposed expansion will keep the
structure well within the allowable floor area of the R -1- 40,000
District and will be comparable in size with other structures in
the vicinity.
Design Considerations: The proposed expansion will completely
change the architectural style of the main dwelling which is about
36 years old. However, the apperarance of the neighborhood will not be
significantly changed.

FINDINGS
1. Unreasonable Interference with Views or Privacy: The project
will not have an adverse impact on views due to its location and
the low profile nature of the second story addition. The pri-
vacy impacts associated with the project can be mitigated.by
deleting the second -story deck, the addition of evergreen land-
scaping, and the use of opaque windows in the second story bath-
room.
2. Preservation of the Natural Landscape: No major trees or signi-
ficant grading will be required to accommodate the project.
3. Perception of Excessive Bulk: Due to the low profile nature
24' height associated wi the expansion and the relatively
modest size of the proposed structure there will be no perception
ofi� excessive bulk.
4. Compatible Bulk & Height: The size and height of the proposed
project will be compatible and comparable with the other two -
story structures in the vicinity. The proposed project will not
adversely impact the light, air, or solar access of adjacent pro-
perties.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval per the Staff Report dated
June 1, 1984,.Exhibits "B" and "C ", subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to issuance of building permits, submit the following for
staff review and approval:
A. Any modifications to the site development plan or elevations
of the main dwelling or garage.
B. Landscaping plans showing how the privacy of the adjacent
property to the west will be protected. East growing, ever-
green materials shall be utilized in this plan.
2. The proposed second -story deck shall be deleted.
3. Opaque windows shall be used in the second -story bathroom to
protect privacy.
4. Landscaping shall be installed prior to final inspection /occupancy.
