PROJECT DESCRIPTION Thirteen (13) new capital projects are proposed in the upcoming Fiscal Year 21-22. The proposed projects have been reviewed by the City Council as part of the annual budget process. California Government Code Section 65401 states that the local planning agency should report on the conformity of the CIP with the agency’s General Plan. However, not all projects have a relationship to a policy in the General Plan such as maintenance work and building remodels. For FY 21-22 the proposed projects are generally dedicated to upgrading existing infrastructure (maintenance), ADA upgrades, safety projects, and park improvements. Attached to this memo are project descriptions for each proposed capital project. Staff reviewed the proposed projects and found that, where applicable, they follow the City’s General Plan policies therefore a conformity finding can be supported. The environmental determination will be addressed project by project. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution 2.

Location This project would be used Citywide. Priority Factors This project applies to the Health and Safety Issues, Efficiencies and Business or Community Support Priority Factors Project Background The Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) and staff meet on a bi-monthly basis to review and assess traffic concerns throughout the City. Concerned residents may also attend these meetings to provide input and request improvements. Most TSC recommended improvements are small and fall within the scope of the operating budget. Occasionally, more costly remediation is warranted, and roadway safety and traffic calming funds are used. In the past, two radar signs have been purchased to assist in traffic calming improvements and have proven to be effective. This project will fund two more portable radar feedback trailers that will collect speed and volume data for City staff to assist in traffic patterns on certain streets. 8 LOCAL ROADWAY AND SAFETY PLAN Project Name Portable Radar Feedback Signs Project Number 9121-006 Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone Description This project will develop a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). Location This project would be Citywide. Priority Factors This project applies to the Health and Safety Issues, Efficiencies and Business or Community Support Priority Factors. Project Background The City of Saratoga's goal is to develop a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) to improve the safety conditions of its roadways for all modes of transportation. Given the City's suburban context and its unique roadway characteristics such as wide and winding residential roads with lack of adequate continuous sidewalks and biking facilities, it is important to develop a safety plan to enhance the safety conditions for all road users. To achieve this goal, the City will consider a safe system approach, prioritizing high collision areas. This proactive approach will identify the most critical safety risks based on the patterns in these areas and will highlight other areas of high risk that may not have yet experienced a high volume of collisions. City Staff and a consultant will undertake the following tasks in developing the Local Roadway Safety Plan. A comprehensive safety analysis on public roads in the City of Saratoga will be conducted to produce a Local Roadway Safety Plan consistent with Caltrans requirements and to position the City to be strategic and competitive for HSIP and other funding sources. Tasks include safety data analysis, selection of emphasis areas, community engagement, and drafting the LRSP Document. The $20,000 funding request will be used as a local match for a State planning grant in the amount of $41,000 which was awarded to the City. 9 BIG BASIN WAY/BLANEY TRASH CAN REPLACEMENT Project Name Big Basin Way/Blaney Trash Can Replacement Project Number 9226-003 Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone Description This project will replace the trash cans on Big Basin Way and Blaney Avenue.

Project Background The City parks are attractive, well-maintained, open space areas for all residents to enjoy. In the playground areas, sand surfaces have been converted to engineered wood fiber material which complies with the mandated “Fall Zone/Impact Attenuation Guidelines.” Parks with playground equipment are monitored to ensure safety and structural integrity. Playground equipment is replaced based on the City’s replacement schedule with guidelines that include monitoring the equipment for major equipment wear and tear and changes in safety regulations on outdated structures. This project funds the replacement of the existing playground structures incorporating upgrades consistent with the City Council’s Inclusive Playground Policy, where feasible. The City of Saratoga’s Youth Commissions over the years have identified inclusion as an opportunity to bring the Saratoga community closer together and have organized fundraising for an inclusive swing to be purchased and installed at one of the Saratoga parks. They are on track to raise a total of approximately $4,000 through events and online activities. The Youth Commission was presented with the opportunity to realize their goal as a component of the Beauchamps Park playground replacement and have expressed their support to apply their efforts to this project. Other funding for this project consists of $177,952 from the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018 Per Capita Grant program.

Project Background Several years ago, the City installed pet stations to provide residents with a convenient option for cleaning up after their pets when visiting the City’s parks and trails. As residents spend more time enjoying these outdoor amenities with their pets, there has been an increase in requests from residents to have access to additional pet stations throughout the community parks and trails. Pet stations placed strategically in heavily traveled areas provide residents with the ability to easily keep the open areas clean. 16 OPEN WORK SPACE/OFFICE CONVERSION FEASBILITY & DESIGN Project Name Open Work Space/Office Conversion Feasibility & Design Project Number 9321-017 Department Community Development Project Manager Thomas Scott Description This project would convert cubicles to offices at City Hall.

Project Background Staff offices line the perimeters of the City Hall buildings leaving the areas in the middle of each building open. Cubicles have been constructed to help eliminate noise and provide suitable workstations for employees working in those areas. At times, impromptu meetings occur in the center of the room to collaborate on various projects making it difficult for others not included in the meeting to talk to residents on the phone or concentrate on other assignments. Individual offices will allow staff to work independently on projects and converse with residents over the phone or talk to staff, while still having a small open area for impromptu group discussions. 17 PARKING DISTRICT ADA IMPROVEMENTS & REHABILITATION – PHASE 1 Project Name Parking District ADA Improvements and Rehabilitation – Phase 1 Project Number 9443-006 Department Public Works Project Manager Mainini Cabute Description This project will fund the rehabilitation, ADA improvements and solid waste containment improvements at Parking Districts #1-4. Location This project is located at Parking Districts in the Saratoga Village. Priority Factors This project applies to the Health and Safety Issues, Efficiencies and Business or Community Support Priority Factors. Project Background In 2014, the State approved Assembly Bill (AB) 1826, which requires businesses to recycle their organic waste beginning in 2016. In 2016, the State approved Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which requires jurisdictions to provide organics recycling service to nearly all residents and businesses. The first phase of SB 1383 goes into effect on January 1, 2022. CalRecycle has provided guidelines for jurisdictions to follow to comply with the laws. Guidelines include information on enclosures sizes, solid waste enclosure standards, enclosure gates and doors, fat grease containment, bin location and fire code requirements, enclosure access and approach, height clearance, storm water runoff, and plumbing. The City must upgrade its existing enclosures in the parking districts to accommodate garbage, mixed recycling and organic carts or bins to be in compliance with state laws and standards. BKF Engineers designed a conceptual plan that incorporates infrastructure improvements that the City must accomplish. The plan will use Parking District 4 as the example parking district and will consider the following: Relocation of accessible spaces, re-striping, centralized trash locations with roofs and sanitary sewer connections, as well as options for pavement rehabilitation and storm water treatment options. 18 STORM DRAIN MASTER PLAN Project Name Storm Drain Master Plan Project Number 9443-007 Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone Description This project will update the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan. Location This project is citywide. Priority Factors This project applies to the Health and Safety Issues, Short-term Cost of Repair vs. Long-term Cost of Replacement and Efficiencies Priority Factors. Project Background Storm drains are located throughout the City. Assessments of existing storm drain facilities and the creation of an updated map is essential to provide information to staff for infrastructure maintenance. This project will update the City Storm Drain Master Plan by determining the condition, age, type, and accurate location of all storm drains, drain inlets, outfalls, and other storm drain facilities operated and maintained by the City. The majority of the City’s storm drain system is between 50 and 100 years old. To plan infrastructure needs, it is desirable to have accurate information regarding the system’s operational integrity. 19 ADA SELF-ASSESSMENT & TRANSITION PLAN Project Name ADA Self-Assessment & Transition Plan Project Number 9443-008 Department City Manager’s Office Project Manager Crystal Bothelio Description This project would provide funding for a consultant to prepare and update the ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for the City. Location This project is citywide. Priority Factors This project applies to the Health and Safety Issues, Short-term Cost of Repair vs. Long-term Cost of Replacement, Federal or State Mandates and Business or Community Support Priority Factors. Project Background Under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, all public entities subject to Title II must conduct a self-evaluation to identify accessibility barriers, and entities with 50 or more employees must also have a transition plan in place to address structural changes necessary to achieve program and service accessibility. The vehicle to implement this compliance is called an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The City prepared its first ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan in 1993. An update was prepared in 2010. In 2019, a citywide accessibility assessment was started as a first step towards developing an updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. This project would allow the City to hire a consultant to prepare an updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The Plan will identify barriers to accessibility, ways to improve access, establish costs and a timeline for how to remove these barriers. The ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan will provide a strategic approach and tools for continued access improvements as the City implements its ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan in the coming years. 20 REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION 14701 Ambric Knolls Road Meeting Date: June 9, 2021 Application: PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 Address/APN: 14701 Ambric Knolls Road / 503-55-019 Applicant / Property Owner: Edick Lazari / Baldev Jandu From: Debbie Pedro, Community Development Director Report Prepared By: Christopher Riordan, Senior Planner 21 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project applicant is requesting Design Review approval for a new 5,063 square foot two story single- family residence on a 1.75-acre vacant site with a maximum overall building height of less than 26 feet.

An existing wooden bridge in deteriorating condition spanning Saratoga Creek is located at the terminus of Ambric Knolls Road where it connects with Big Basin Way. The bridge is located within the right-of-way easement and will be replaced by a “prefabricated bridge” recycled from a railroad flatcar. Bridge plans and photo of a similar bridge are included as Attachments 6 & 7. An existing drainage swale enters the site in the northeast corner of the site and directs storm water toward the center of the site which flows into Saratoga Creek. This drainage swale would be lined with rocks to both slow down the flow of water and to prevent further erosion. The new driveway will be constructed by filling a portion of the swale so that the driveway can pass above the swale. Drainage from the swale will be collected on the upslope side of the driveway by directing the water to a pipe to transport water under the driveway which will be directed to flow to Saratoga Creek. Landslide Landslide debris is located on the steep slopes in the northern portion of the site. The project received geotechnical clearance from the City Geologist which includes repairing and stabilizing the landslide by replacement of the landslide debris with a series of keys and benches into the site bedrock. A copy of the Geotechnical Clearance memo is included as Attachment #4. Variance The project includes a request for a slope variance to locate a structure on an area of the site where the maximum slope beneath the structure would exceed 40 percent slope. City Code Section 15- 13.050(e)(2) “Location of Building Sites” states that the average slope under a structure or pool shall not exceed 30% and that no structure or pool shall be built on a slope which exceeds 40% at 23 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 4 any location under the footprint between two five-foot contour lines. Within the proposed building envelope, the average slope is 26.5% however, a variance is required because the maximum slope underneath the attached garage exceeds 40%. The development would be located on the most level portion of the site. The area of development is constrained by the landslide area in the northern portion of the site, the riparian corridor associated with Saratoga Creek in the southern portion of the site, and an area of steep slopes in the eastern area if the site. Due to the topography of the site and the constraints applicable to the site just mentioned, there are limited locations to site the residence which would not require a variance for slope. Architecture/Design The location of the residence would be in the northern portion of the site. Best described as having a “New-Mediterranean” architectural style, the two-story residence would have a rectangular shaped building footprint with a 2,388 square foot first story, a 460 square foot attached garage, and a 2,141 square feet second story. No basement is proposed. Exterior materials would include a clay “mission style” tile roof, a cement plaster exterior with a smooth trowel finish, pre-cast concrete columns flanking the front entry and garage door, foam trim covered in smooth stucco, wrought iron railings for all porches and balconies, and vinyl windows 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 Tan Colored Integral Stucco Windows Brown Colored Vinyl Windows Trim Tab Colored Trim and Tan Colored Columns Roof Clay Tile Roof – Ladera Blend Trees The project arborist inventoried a total of 38 protected trees on site including California bay, western sycamore, and coast live oaks. It was determined by the City Arborist that 24 protected trees including six coast live oaks, one western sycamore, and 17 California bays conflict with the project and are recommended for removal. The project arborist determined that all the trees to be removed are in fair or poor condition and one of the bays is deceased. Replacement trees with a minimum value of $42,240 are to be planted on site. 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 descriptions of the trees to be removed and preserved are included in the Arborist Report (Attachment 2). Landscaping No new formal landscaping is proposed. The existing landscaping of the site includes native trees and vegetation which is to remain. The project does include a condition of approval which requires that plans submitted for building permit include a landscape plan to screen and soften the appearance of the retaining walls behind the residence that are required as part of the landslide 24 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 5 repair and the retaining walls associated with the construction of the driveway as viewed from both on and offsite. 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 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 location of the residence would be in an area of the site which is the most level with the least amount of slope and the driveway has been designed to follow the natural contours of the site to minimize grading. The majority of the grading would be used to construct the driveway and would include the area of landslide remediation in the northern portion of the site. The remaining grading would be used to construct the building pad and to level the area around the site for patios and walkways. The proposed grading is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints and other than the grading for the access driveway, repair the landslide area, and to level an area for construction of the residence, the remaining contours of the site will remain unchanged. 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 project arborist inventoried a total of 38 protected trees on site including California bay, western sycamore, and coast live oaks. The City Arborist determined that 24 protected trees including six coast live oaks, one western sycamore, and 17 California bays conflict with the project and are recommended for removal. The project arborist determined that all of the trees to be removed are in either fair or poor condition and one of the bays is deceased. 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 at a low point on an existing vacant site within an area of dense trees with a rural setting. The project area is surrounded by native, mature vegetation and would physically not be visible from adjacent property owners. The location of the residence would 25 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 6 maximize privacy and preserve views of neighboring properties. The elevation of the project site will be physically lower than neighboring residences thereby minimizing unreasonable impacts to the privacy of adjoining properties. 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 center of the buildable area of the site with the height concentrated toward the middle of the building footprint. The project includes architectural elements consistent with the ‘Neo-Mediterranean style which are in scale with the structure and the neighborhood. Views from adjacent property owners would be screened by mature trees. 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 building site is screened from view from Big Basin Way and due to existing topography is not visible from adjacent properties and thereby the landscape design would have no impact on the existing neighborhood streetscape. The front yard landscaping will be dominated by existing vegetation in the vicinity of Saratoga Creek. No formal landscaping is proposed for the front setback area. 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 development is in the central portion of the site with tall trees and slopes rising up and away from the project site to the adjacent neighbors. The proposed residence is approximately 26’ tall and due to building setbacks which meet and/or exceed requirements, existing topography, and surrounding trees, the project 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 in that 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. 26 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 7 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 is applicable to the project because the project site has an average slope greater than 10% and is classified as a “Hillside Lot”. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the location of the project is not located on a ridgeline nor would significantly affect hillside features. There are no designated community viewsheds in the vicinity of the site and because the height of the project would be no taller than 26’, the project would be compliance with Section 15-12.100 (Height of Structures in the R-1 Single Family Zoning Districts). Variance Findings The proposed project is consistent with all the following Variance findings stated in Saratoga Municipal Code Section 15-70.060: (a) That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that even though the average slope beneath the building footprint is less than 30%, a variance is required because the slope beneath the attached garage exceeds a slope of 40% as measured between two five-foot contours due to the location of the structure on the lot. The special circumstances applicable that constrain the placement of the project and which necessitates the need for a variance include the riparian corridor associated with Saratoga Creek and the location of a flood hazard area to identified as AE on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map which indicate a 1% annual chance of flood which pass along the southern edge of the site, steep slopes and an existing landslide near the north of the site, and steep slopes along the eastern portion of the site. The area of the site with the least amount of slope is where the location of the structure is proposed. Due to the topography of the site and the constraints applicable to the site just mentioned, there are limited locations to site the residence which would not require a variance for slope. (b) That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the same zoning district. The project does meet this finding in that the variance will not constitute a special privilege in that the adjacent sites are developed with similar sized single-family homes, the variances would allow the project to be developed on a geologically stable portion of the site and not encroaching into the riparian corridor or areas of steep or unstable slopes, and the setbacks would be consistent with the minimum allowable setbacks of the R-1-40,000 Zoning District. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 27 Report to the Planning Commission 14701 Ambric Knolls Road – Application # PDR15-0018 / ARB15-0051 / VAR21-0003 June 9, 2021 Page | 8 (c) That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. This finding can be made in the affirmative. The City Geologist has reviewed the site and the project and has issued Geotechnical Clearance. Construction of the residence would require an approved building permit which would require the project applicant to submit construction details for review by the building department prior to issuance of a building permit. The issuance of a building permit would ensure that the garage would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence The applicant submitted five (5) completed neighborhood notification forms and one form included project related comments. The property owner at 21150 Ambric Knolls Road is primarily concerned about construction parking. A condition of project approval is that the application for a building permit have a construction management plan which will include the parking location of construction vehicles. 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. 21-011 2. Arborist Approval Memo dated September 17, 2020 3.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION Site Description The vacant project site at 22551 Mount Eden Road is in the Hillside Residential (HR) zoning district. The ~1.4-acre site has an average slope of 31 percent. The site does not have street frontage on Mount Eden Road. Access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing 60’ wide right-of-way easement which passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. Surrounding properties include a vacant 29.28-acre parcel to the east which previously received tentative map approval for a five-lot subdivision; the tentative map expired in October 2009. To the south is a single-family home located on a .98 parcel, Mount Eden Road is located to the West, and a single-family home on a 2.54-acre parcel is located to the north. Site topography is characterized by steep southwest facing slopes. The site is in an area of landslides as identified on the City’s Ground Movement Potential Map and according to the City Geologist, relatively large inactive landslides dominate its southwestern portion. A copy of the City Geologist Clearance Memorandum is included as Attachment #3. These landslides are part of a larger series of landslides to the west. A 25-foot wide “landslide setback” from the edge of the landslide area was defined by the applicants Geotechnical Engineer. Construction is to be concentrated to the north of this setback line. The location of these landslides restricts the area of development to the northern one-third (approximately 24,740 square feet) of the site thereby leaving the remainder as undevelopable. The average slope of this developable area is 31% with maximum slopes of 50%. A total of 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. Background On October 24, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a project for the site for a previous owner. That project included a 4,326 square foot two story single-family residence with a 1,260 square feet basement and 504 square feet detached garage. The project also included a variance to build on a slope more than 30 percent under the building footprint and a Conditional Use Permit to construct an accessory structure more than 12 feet in height. The project included 853 cubic yards of grading. A building permit or grading permit was never issued, and all entitlements expired. 86 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 4 On March 28, 2012, the Planning Commission approved another project for the subject site for a different property owner. That project included a 4,179 square foot two-story residence and a 442 square foot detached accessory dwelling unit. Exceptions included a variance request for the project to have a reduced front yard setback, retaining walls more than five feet and greater than three feet in the front setback, and for the residence to be constructed on a slope exceeding 40 percent. The project also included a grading exception to exceed 1,000 cubic yards of grading. A building permit or grading permit was never issued, and all entitlements expired. Project Description The current property owner is requesting Design Review, Variance and Grading Exception approvals to construct a 4,733 square foot, two story single-family dwelling with an attached 1,200 square foot secondary dwelling unit. The vacant 1.42-acre project site has an average slope of 31%. The site drops 80 feet in elevation from north to south. Oaks, eucalyptus, and fruit trees are located on the lower portion of the site. Variances are requested from the regulations contained in the Zoning Regulations of the City Code. These include requests to reduce the width of the required front setback, locate structures on slopes exceeding 40 percent under a building footprint, and to construct retaining walls more than five feet in height and more than three feet in height within the front setback area. The project would include 1,486 cubic yards of grading (combined cut and fill). The project includes a request for a Grading Exception to exceed 1,000 cubic yards of grading in the HR zoning district. No protected trees are proposed for removal. Architecture/Design The architectural style of the residence can best be described as “Contemporary”. Architectural features include both one- and two-story elements, exterior materials including both light and grey colored stucco and dark walnut colored metal siding, and a flat roof. The walnut-colored front entrance door will be made of wood and the dark bronze colored garage door will be made of made of aluminum with frosted glass. All remaining exterior doors will be made of glass and dark bronze colored aluminum. Variances The project includes a request for three variances. These include a setback variance to reduce the front setback from 70’-7” feet to 30 feet, a retaining wall height variance to construct retaining walls more than five feet in height and more than three feet in height within the front setback area, and a variance to construct a structure on an area of the site where the maximum slope beneath the structure would exceed 40 percent slope. The details of these variances are discussed in the following paragraphs. 87 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 5 Setback The minimum front setback within the HR zoning district is 30 feet however, if a lot is vacant or was created after May 15, 1992, the front setback is 30 feet or 20 percent of the lot depth; whichever is greater. The subject site is vacant and has not been developed previously so the front setback as a percentage of lot depth is applicable. The subject site has a calculated lot depth of 353 feet which requires a front setback of 70’-7” (353 x .20 = 70’-7”). As mentioned in a preceding paragraph, approximately two-thirds of the site is located within a mapped landslide area thereby leaving the northerly one-third available for development. The 25 feet ‘landslide setback’ from the edge of the landslide areas as defined by the Geotechnical Engineer further restricts the development area. The effect of the required 70’-7” building setback would shift the proposed development to the south, beyond the ‘landslide setback’, and into the area of the site that is geologically unstable. The applicant is requesting a setback variance to reduce the required front yard building setback to 30 feet (the minimum front setback for a lot in the HR zoning district). This would allow the residence and associated site improvements to be constructed on the geologically stable portion of the site. Slope The average slope of the site is 31%. Within the proposed building envelope, the average slope is 29% with maximum slopes exceeding 40%. City Code Section 15-13.050(e)(2) “Location of Building Sites” states that the average slope under a structure or pool shall not exceed 30% and that no structure or pool shall be built on a slope which exceeds 40% at any location under the footprint between two five-foot contour lines. The maximum slope under the residence, garage, and accessory dwelling unit are all more than 40%. As already mentioned, the site is constrained by the existing landslide area which concentrates development to the northern third of the site. This portion has a relatively small level graded area where the project would be located however the entire project as proposed extends beyond its bounds and is conterminous with the area of steeper slopes. Retaining Walls The site does not have street frontage on Mount Eden Road. Access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing 60-foot-wide right-of-way easement that passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. This easement is limited to twenty feet wide at the northwest corner of the lot thereby limiting driveway access to this one location. The slope at this access point is approximately 40 percent. City Code Section §15- 29.010(l) limits retaining walls to a maximum height of five feet and three feet in a front setback. To provide vehicular access to the site and to provide a relatively level driveway at the entrance and the turnaround area in front of the garage would cause the retaining walls to exceed the maximum allowable heights in two locations. The retaining wall to the northeast of the entrance and adjacent to the front property line would have a maximum overall height of 6.39 feet and the retaining wall at the northeast corner of the garage and along the side of the driveway would range in height exceeding five feet with a maximum height of nine feet adjacent to the residence. The previously approved project for the subject site included a variance for retaining wall height to construct the driveway in approximately the same location as the current project. 88 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 6 Grading Exception City Code section 15-13.050 limits the combined cut and fill of any grading for a project in the Hillside Residential (HR) zone district to 1,000 cubic yards, unless a larger quantity is approved by the Planning Commission. The project includes a request for a grading exception for a combined cut and fill of 1,486 cubic yards. The 440 cubic yards of cut for the basement areas are not included in the grading quantity. The project would be partially constructed on the most level portion of the site and grading would be required to integrate and terrace the structures into the steeper portions of the site. Additional grading is proposed to provide a reasonable amount of level space beyond the building footprint for outside activities. The grading would improve the building integration into the natural topography of the site as recommended in the City’s Residential Design Handbook thereby potentially offsetting negative views of the project as viewed from Mount Eden Road and adjacent sites. The applicant has provided a color and materials board. Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials. Detail Colors and Materials Exterior Both light and dark grey colored stucco / long board metal side with a dark natural walnut color Windows/Doors Walnut stained wood entrance door, aluminum clad “dark bronze” aluminum windows and exterior doors, aluminum garage door “dark bronze” in color with tempered frosted glass. Trim Galvanized “dark bronze” colored metal roof coping, awning, scuppers, and downspouts, steel and glass guardrails Roof GAF Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing system – desert tan in color Trees A total of 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. No trees are proposed for removal. All 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 descriptions of the trees to be preserved are included in the Arborist Report (Attachment 4). Landscaping No new formal landscaping is proposed. The vegetation within the front setback area is to remain which includes existing native bushes and grasses which are complementary to the existing Oak Woodland neighborhood streetscape. 89 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 7 FINDINGS Design Review The findings required for issuance of Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section 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 will be integrated into the natural environment. Even though a grading exception is being requested for grading more than 1,000 cubic yards, this grading is limited to the construction of an access driveway and the construction of a building pad that integrates the structure into the existing environment and minimal grading will occur outside the building footprint. 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 may be made in the affirmative in that 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. No trees are proposed for removal. All 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 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, limiting the building height to 25 feet, from the home are primarily oriented to the south and east and away from structures on adjacent sites. There are not identified community viewsheds in the vicinity of the project. 90 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 8 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 with both one and two-story structures. The project includes architectural elements consistent with the ‘Contemporary” architectural style which are in scale with the structure and the neighborhood. The perception of excessive bulk is minimized using varying architectural forms, both one- and two-story structural elements, varying exterior materials and textures, and varying rooflines that break up the massing and reduce the perception of height and mass. The applicant’s choice of a neutral color palette for the exterior of the building will help to integrate the project with the natural environment of the site and its surroundings. The projects physical distance from the nearest property will help minimize the appearance of mass when compared with structures on adjacent lots. 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 yard landscaping will continue to be dominated by existing native bushes and grasses which will be complementary to the existing Oak Woodland neighborhood streetscape. No new formal 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. 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 to impact significant hillside features and impacts to 91 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 9 ridgelines and community viewsheds. 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 a community viewshed. Variance Findings The proposed project is consistent with all the following Variance findings stated in Saratoga Municipal Code Section 15-70.060: a. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. The project as proposed does meet this finding in that there are special circumstances applicable to the property to support the variances for a reduction in the width of the front setback, to construct on steep slopes, and to install retaining walls exceeding maximum allowable height. The request for the setback and slope variances is; 1) based on the existing landslide that restricts development to the northern third of the site; and 2) the average slope of the proposed building envelope is 31% with maximum slopes exceeding 40% under the building footprints. Saratoga Municipal Code Section 15-13.050(e)(2) states that the average slope under a structure or pool shall not exceed 30% and that no structure or pool shall be built on a slope which exceeds 40% at any location under the footprint between two five-foot contour lines. The maximum proposed slopes under the residence and accessory dwelling unit are all more than 40%. Approximately two-thirds of the site is located within a mapped landslide area thereby leaving the northerly one- third available for development. The 25 foot “landslide setback” from the edge of the landslide areas restricts the development area. The variance for a 30-foot front setback would allow the project to be constructed on a geologically stable portion of the site and located in a previously graded area. Strict enforcement of the specified regulations defining slopes and setbacks would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. That is because if the project were required to provide a front building setback of 70’-7” the proposed development would shift to the south, beyond the “landslide setback”, and into the area of the site that is geologically unstable. In addition, the limited area of the site available for development exceeds the maximum slopes that are allowable under a building footprint or pool. A variance for retaining walls to exceed the five feet maximum height, including the three-foot maximum height within a front setback, is requested to provide a relatively level driveway and vehicle turnaround area in front of the garage. The maximum existing slope in the area of the proposed turnaround area is 50 percent. Site access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing right-of-way easement that passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. This easement is twenty feet wide at the northwest corner of the lot thereby limiting driveway access to this one location. The slope at this access point is approximately 40 percent. Additional constraint on the location of the turnaround is the landslide setback that limits the developable area to the northern portion of the 92 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 10 site. Because the driveway and turnaround located in an area with steep slopes and would be located near both the front and western side property line, retaining walls with heights exceeding five feet, and three feet in a front setback, would be required. Strict enforcement of the specified regulations defining retaining wall height would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. That is because a residence on the subject lot could not be constructed without a variance to construct a relatively level vehicle turnaround, and since the location of this is limited to an area of steep slopes, retaining walls exceeding City Code height limitations would be required to construct the turnaround. This finding can be made in the affirmative. b. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the same zoning district. The project does meet this finding in that the variance will not constitute a special privilege in that the adjacent sites are developed with similar sized single-family homes, the variances would allow the project to be developed on a geologically stable portion of the site, and the setbacks would be consistent with the minimum allowable setbacks of the HR Zoning District. This finding can be made in the affirmative. c. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed building site is on the portion of the site that is the most geologically stable. Geological reports indicate that the sloped areas of the site are potentially unstable due to the location of dormant landslides. These areas are susceptible to erosion and slope failure which can be exacerbated by existing drainage patterns. The project would locate development on the northerly third of the site where site stability is improved. The project has received Geotechnical Clearance from the City Geologist The project as currently designed will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare; it will enhance it as compared to the previously existing improvements. Nor will the project be materially injurious to properties or improvement in the vicinity; instead, it will reduce the potential for adverse impacts. This finding can be made in the affirmative. Findings for Grading Over One Thousand Cubic Yards Zoning Code section 15-13.050(f) states that the combined cut and fill of any grading for a project in the Hillside Residential zone district shall not exceed one thousand (1,000) cubic yards, including any excavation for a swimming pool, unless a larger quantity is approved by the Planning Commission based upon making all of the below listed findings. 1. The additional grading is necessary in order to allow reasonable development of the property or to achieve a reasonable means of access to the building site. The project would be partially constructed on the most level portion of the site and 680 cubic yards of cut would be required to integrate and terrace the structures into the site. Grading is required to 93 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 11 daylight the graded areas into non-graded areas thereby reducing the number and height of retaining walls as well as contouring the site to reduce erosion by channeling storm water runoff into storm drains for release down slope and away from the structure and neighboring properties. Grading is also proposed to provide a reasonable amount of space beyond the building footprint for outside and recreational activities. Constructing the driveway and vehicle turnaround, landscaped areas, walkways, and erosion control would require 1,483 cubic yards of cut and 3 cubic yards of fill. The grading would also improve the buildings integration into the natural topography of the site as recommended in the City’s Residential Design Handbook and potential negative offsite views of the project could be reduced as viewed from Mount Eden Road and adjacent sites. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 2. The natural landforms and vegetation are being preserved and protected. The natural vegetation on the site consists of native grasses, shrubs, trees - none of these trees are being removed. Portions of the site have been previously graded, and the proposed project will utilize this area for the development. The City Arborist inventoried 22 trees protected by City ordinance with a potential of being impacted by construction. None of these trees are proposed for removal. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 3. The increased grading is necessary to promote the compatibility of the construction with the natural terrain. The increased grading quantity would assist in the integration of the structure into the existing natural terrain and to reduce the perception of the structures bulk; and the majority of the grading would be used to minimize the perception of excessive bulk as viewed from off site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 4. The increased grading is necessary to integrate an architectural design into the natural topography. The increased grading would integrate the proposed architectural design into the natural topography; integration of the architectural design with the natural surroundings would be increased by project terracing. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 5. The increased grading is necessary to reduce the prominence of the construction as viewed from surrounding views or from distant community views. The grading of the site will reduce the prominence of the construction as viewed from off site or from distinct community views by integrating the graded contours of the project site with the natural contours near the edges and the building will be constructed to follow the contours of the site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 94 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 12 6. No building site shall be graded so as to create a flat visible pad surrounding the main residential structure. The building site is graded to provide a reasonable amount of level areas for outside recreational activities; the site is not excessively graded thereby resulting in a flat visible building pad; and natural open space will cover most of the site thereby decreasing the appearance of a graded site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence The applicant submitted five (5) completed neighborhood review letters which are included as Attachment 4. Two of the letters had project related comments. The property owner at 22621 Mount Eden Road is primarily concerned about construction parking, site drainage, and the possible removal of cypress trees. A condition of project approval is that the application for a building permit have a construction management plan which will include the parking location of construction vehicles, site drainage will be directed to an infiltration device near the bottom of the site via a pipe and a vegetated swale, and no protected cypress trees are proposed for removal. The property owner at 22301 Mount Eden Road is adjacent to the southwest corner of the site and is concerned that stormwater will infiltrate his site if proposed storm drainage measures as proposed by the applicant are not maintained. The proposed grading and drainage plan which features a combination of energy dissipators and infiltration devices was reviewed by the City Engineer, and it was determined that proposed site drainage control measures were sufficient. 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 a single-family residence and small structures 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. 21-009 2. Arborist Report dated March 3, 2021 3.

Eden Road --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At your request, we have completed a geotechnical peer review of the subject application using: •Supplemental Recommendations – Awan Residence (letter) prepared by Romig Engineers, dated October 5, 2020; •Topographic Plan (1 sheet) prepared by Dunbar and Craig, dated October 13, 2011; •Civil Plans (6 sheets) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated September 4, 2020; and •Architectural Plans (13 sheets) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated September 4, 2020. In addition, we have reviewed readily available satellite imagery and pertinent technical documents from our office files, as well as conducted a recent site reconnaissance. We also have reviewed a geotechnical investigation (dated October 18, 2011), and two supplemental letters (dated January 12 and June 21 of 2012) provided by Romig Engineers. DISCUSSION We understand the applicant is proposing to construct a new residence, attached garage, and attached guest house. Access to the property is proposed to be provided by a new driveway extending from Mt. Eden Road along an ingress-egress easement crossing neighboring properties. In a previous geotechnical peer review memorandum dated January 25, 2012, we recommended approval of project Geotechnical Clearance of a similar design concept with conditions including a final peer review of stabilization wall plans. Provided estimates of proposed earthwork quantities include 1,175 cubic yards of cut for the residence and an additional 948 cubic yards of cut for site grading including the driveway along with 2 cubic yards of landscaping fill. The proposed driveway alignment may require additional fill and grading depending on final design grades and retaining wall layouts within the access easement. Attachment #3 110 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 2 S5141B SITE CONDITIONS The property is located immediately west of the crest of a northwest to southeast trending ridgeline. Natural topography at the site is generally characterized by steep to very steep (approximately 38 to 60 percent inclination) southwest facing slopes. Previous grading activities have resulted in a cut and fill pad in the northeastern portion of the property. A very steep (approximately 72 percent inclination) cut slope exists along the northeastern portion of the existing pad. An associated moderately steep (approximately 30 percent inclination) fill slope exists on the southwestern portion of the existing pad. Steep to very steep (approximately 50 to 67 percent inclination) fill slopes and cut slopes were noted along the outboard edge of the proposed driveway. Drainage is generally characterized by sheet flow toward the southwest where it becomes intercepted by an incised drainage below the property. During our site reconnaissance our Staff Geologist observed desiccation cracks up to two and a half inches wide at the property. According to the City Geologic Map (Upper Calabazas Creek Watershed) two deep-seated Old Landslides are impacting the property. One Old Landslide is mapped crossing the southwestern portion of the property. Geomorphic evidence of this landslide was also noted during our recent site visit, and we understand previous site subsurface exploration has confirmed that this landslide has a depth in the range of approximately 30 feet or greater downslope of the subject property. This mapped landslide also extends across existing developed properties to the south and west. Previous subsurface exploration has confirmed the presence of another mapped Old Landslide beneath portions of the proposed driveway and Mt Eden Road. This landslide has also been found to be relatively deep (approximately 30 feet or greater) and extends across multiple properties. We understand that the proposed residence footprint is intended to avoid, and remain upslope of these identified landslides. The property is underlain, at depth, by sedimentary bedrock materials of the Santa Clara Formation (semi- consolidated siltstone, sandstone, and potentially expansive claystone). The bedrock is locally overlain by potentially expansive colluvial soils, artificial fill and landslide debris. We understand the proposed residence footprint is intended to be located outside of areas of mapped landslide debris, based on investigation and mapping completed by the Project Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Consultant. However, lower portions of the proposed structure may be directly adjacent to or partially on landslide debris requiring stabilization against future movement or undermining resulting from the loss of lateral support. The Project Geotechnical Consultant concludes that shallow foundation may be used to support the residence where proposed excavations extend at least 5 feet into weathered bedrock. A mapped trace of the potentially active Berrocal fault is located approximately 1,500 feet southwest of property. A mapped trace of the active San Andreas Fault is located approximately 2 miles southwest of the property. Portions of the property are located within a State delineated earthquake-induced landslide hazard zone. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION The proposed site development is potentially constrained by expansive surficial soil and bedrock materials, continued erosion of incised drainages, soil creep, deep-seated landsliding, undocumented fill, and strong seismic ground shaking. The referenced letter dated October 5, 2020, indicates that the Project Geotechnical 111 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 3 S5141B Consultant has reviewed the proposed site development concept and has concluded that the recommendations presented in the referenced 2011 report and supplemental letters are still appropriate for the currently proposed project. The Project Geotechnical Consultant recommends a stabilization wall be constructed as part of site improvements to protect the residence from future instability from identified landslide debris downslope and adjacent to proposed habitable improvements. We also understand that the Project Geotechnical Consultant considered geotechnical design measures to address the deep landslide underneath a portion of the driveway, but concluded that stabilization does not appear to be feasible and that attempting to construct driveway stabilization improvements could result in future adverse impacts to access along Mount Eden Road. The Project Geotechnical Consultants finds it more favorable to allow for potential creep or distributed deformation along the driveway that may require regular maintenance, if movement is detected. We recommend that the Project Geotechnical Consultant coordinate with the project design team to clarify the location of the proposed residence stabilization wall, and final foundation and site retaining layouts for the proposed structure and driveway improvements. Final design plans for the stabilization wall should be submitted to the City for supplemental geotechnical peer review prior to building permit issuance. We also recommend the Consultant discuss with the project design team and owner the performance benefits of utilizing uniform deep foundations for the proposed residence. We note that structures with both deep and shallow foundation elements may be at an increased risk of distress from non-uniform movement during strong seismic shaking, and are frequently avoided, where possible, in the City. The Project Geotechnical Consultant also provides recommendations for geofoam block alternatives for proposed driveway grading. We note that the use of geofoam (or equivalent) is preferred from a geotechnical standpoint, to limit the addition of material (or potential driving force depending on location) to existing landslides. We also understand that portions of the proposed driveway will be constructed with pier supported retaining walls; however, these walls are not intended to stabilize deep-seated landsliding. As indicated in the 2011 geotechnical report, the applicant and future property owners should be aware that the Old Landslide extending into the southwestern portion of the property was previously found to have a factor of safety lower than the minimum value typically considered acceptable in current engineering practice. Consequently, there could be a future responsibility to address the impacts associated with landslide reactivation. Such landslide reactivation could impact and involve multiple properties. In addition, proposed site development requires that the property owner understand and accept the potential risk and future maintenance associated with deep landslide movement beneath the driveway. Such movement could restrict access to the property until repaired and may impact utilities servicing the residence. Given the potential for ground failure of the driveway, the Project Design Team should consider the benefits of automatic utility shut- off valves, as applicable. Given the owners understanding and acceptance of the above described risks, we do not object to project Geotechnical Clearance with the following conditions attached. Please note, we recommend supplemental geotechnical peer review of Item 1 prior to issuance of building permits. 1. Residence Stabilization Wall Design Plans – The Project Geologic and Geotechnical Consultant should review the currently proposed site development concept in reference to their previously mapped landslide margins. The Consultant should propose a layout for the stabilization wall considering the current residence footprint, sections, and identified landslides. The Geotechnical 112 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 4 S5141B Consultant should coordinate with the Project Structural Engineer to ensure appropriate design of site stabilization structures given site geologic and geotechnical conditions. If a stabilization wall is no longer proposed, additional analysis or mitigation may be necessary to satisfy the requirements necessary for qualifying projects in State delineated earthquake-induced landsliding zones. After stabilization wall design plans have been prepared and formally approved by the Project Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Consultant, detailed design plans and supporting calculations should be submitted to the City for review and recommendation by the City Geotechnical Consultant prior to issuance of building permits. 2. Geotechnical Plan Review – The Project Geotechnical Consultant shall review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the final project construction plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, pavement design, and design parameters for foundations and retaining walls) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. We note that Romig Engineers is not referenced as the Geotechnical Consultant on all pertinent plan sheets (e.g., C-1.0). The results of the plan review shall be summarized by the Project Geotechnical Engineer in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to issuance of building or grading permits. 3. Geotechnical Construction Inspections – The Project Geotechnical Engineer shall inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspection shall 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 shall be described by the Project Geotechnical Engineer in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final project approval. LIMITATIONS This geotechnical peer review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the City of Saratoga 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.

Non-Hazardous Materials Berm and cover stockpiles of sand, dirt or other construction material with tarps when rain is forecast or when they are not in use. Use (but don’t overuse) reclaimed water for dust control. Ensure dust control water doesn’t leave site or discharge to storm drains. Hazardous Materials Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fuel, oil, and antifreeze) in accordance with City, County, State and Federal regulations. Store hazardous materials and wastes in water tight containers, store in appropriate secondary containment, and cover them at the end of every work day or during wet weather or when rain is forecast. Follow manufacturer’s application instructions for hazardous materials and do not use more than necessary. Do not apply chemicals outdoors when rain is forecast within 24 hours. Arrange for appropriate disposal of all hazardous wastes. Waste Management Cover and maintain dumpsters. Check frequently for leaks. Place dumpsters under roofs or cover with tarps or plastic sheeting secured around the outside of the dumpster. A plastic liner is recommended to prevent leaks. Never clean out a dumpster by hosing it down on the construction site. Place portable toilets away from storm drains. Make sure they are in good working order. Check frequently for leaks. Dispose of all wastes and demolition debris properly. Recycle materials and wastes that can be recycled, including solvents, water- based paints, vehicle fluids, broken asphalt and concrete, wood, and cleared vegetation. Dispose of liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues, and cleaning fluids as hazardous waste Keep site free of litter (e.g. lunch items, cigarette butts). Prevent litter from uncovered loads by covering loads that are being transported to and from site. Construction Entrances and Perimeter Establish and maintain effective perimeter controls and stabilize all construction entrances and exits to sufficiently control erosion and sediment discharges from site and tracking off site. Sweep or vacuum any street tracking immediately and secure sediment source to prevent further tracking. Never hose down streets to clean up tracking. Materials & Waste Management Equipment Management & Spill Control Maintenance and Parking Designate an area of the construction site, well away from streams or storm drain inlets and fitted with appropriate BMPs, for auto and equipment parking, and storage. Perform major maintenance, repair jobs, and vehicle and equipment washing off site. If refueling or vehicle maintenance must be done onsite, work in a bermed area away from storm drains and over a drip pan or drop cloths big enough to collect fluids. Recycle or dispose of fluids as hazardous waste If vehicle or equipment cleaning must be done onsite, clean with water only in a bermed area that will not allow rinse water to run into gutters, streets, storm drains, or surface waters. Do not clean vehicle or equipment onsite using soaps, solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment, and do not use diesel oil to lubricate equipment or parts onsite. Spill Prevention and Control Keep spill cleanup materials (e.g., rags, absorbents and cat litter) available at the construction site at all times. Maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment. Inspect frequently for and repair leaks. Use drip pans to catch leaks until repairs are made. Clean up leaks, drips and other spills immediately and dispose of cleanup materials properly. Use dry cleanup methods whenever possible (absorbent materials, cat litter and/or rags). Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Never attempt to “wash them away” with water, or bury them. Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of contaminated soil. Report significant spills to the appropriate local spill response agencies immediately. If the spill poses a significant hazrd to human health and safet , property or the environment, you must report it to the State Office of Eme gency Services. (800) 852-7550 (24 hours). Earthmoving Grading and Earthwork Schedule grading and excavation work during dry weather. Stabilize all denuded areas, install and maintain temporary erosion controls (such as erosion control fabric or bonded fiber matrix) until vegetation is established. Remove existing vegetation only when absolutely necessary, plant temporary vegetation for erosion control on slopes or where construction is not immediately planned. Prevent sediment from migrating offsite and protect storm drain inlets, drainage courses and streams by installing and maintaining appropriate BMPs (i.e. silt fences, gravel bags, fiber rolls, temporary swales, etc.). Keep excavated soil on site and transfer it to dump trucks on site, not in the streets. Contaminated Soils If any of the following conditions are observed, test for contamination and contact the Regional Water Quality Control Board: Unusual soil conditions, discoloration, - or odor. Abandoned underground tanks. - Abandoned wells - Buried barrels, debris, or trash. - If the above conditions are observed, document any signs of potential contamination and clearly mark them so they are not distrurbed by construction activities. Landscaping Protect stockpiled landscaping materials from wind and rain by storing them under tarps all year-round. Stack bagged material on pallets and under cover. Discontinue application of any erodible landscape material within 2 days before a forecast rain event or during wet weather. Paving Avoid paving and seal coating in wet weather or when rain is forecast, to prevent materials that have not cured from contacting stormwater runoff. Cover storm drain inlets and manholes when applying seal coat, slurry seal, fog seal, or similar materials. Collect and recycle or properly dispose of excess abrasive gravel or sand. Do NOT sweep or wash it into gutters. Sawcutting & Asphalt/Concrete Removal Protect storm drain inlets during saw cutting. If saw cut slurry enters a catch basin, clean it up immediately. Shovel or vacuum saw cut slurry deposits and remove from the site. When making saw cuts, use as little water as possible. Sweep up, and properly dispose of all residues. Concrete Management Store both dry and wet materials under cover, protected from rainfall and runoff and away from storm drains or waterways. Store materials off the ground, on pallets. Protect dry materials from wind. Wash down exposed aggregate concrete only when the wash water can (1) flow onto a dirt area; (2) drain onto a bermed surface from which it can be pumped and disposed of properly; or (3) block any storm drain inlets and vacuum washwater from the gutter. If possible, sweep first. Wash out concrete equipment/trucks offsite or in a designated washout area onsite, where the water will flow into a temporary waste pit, and make sure wash water does not leach into the underlying soil. (See CASQA Construction BMP Handbook for properly designed concrete washouts.) Dewatering Discharges of groundwater or captured runoff from dewatering operations must be properly managed and disposed. When possible, send dewatering discharge to landscaped area or sanitary sewer. If discharging to the sanitary sewer, call your local wastewater treatment plant. Divert run-on water from offsite away from all disturbed areas. When dewatering, notify and obtain approval from the local municipality before discharging water to a street gutter or storm drain. Filtration or diversion through a basin, tank, or sediment trap may be required. In areas of known or suspected contamination, call your local agency to determine whether the ground water must be tested. Pumped groundwater may need to be collected and hauled off-site for treatment and proper disposal. Painting Cleanup and Removal Never clean brushes or rinse paint containers into a street, gutter, storm drain, or stream. For water-based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible, and rinse into a drain that goes to the sanitary sewer. Never pour paint down a storm drain. For oil-based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible and clean with thinner or solvent in a proper container. Filter and reuse thinners and solvents. Dispose of excess liquids as hazardous waste. Sweep up or collect paint chips and dust from non-hazardous dry stripping and sand blasting into plastic drop cloths and dispose of as trash. Chemical paint stripping residue and chips and dust from marine paints or paints containing lead, mercury, or tributyltin must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

Currently the proposed fencing design overlaps with proposed work on site, and therefore is not feasible, as it would inhibit work from occurring. Fencing should be placed at 5’ beyond the edge of the canopy when possible. Where this is not possible, place the fencing at its furthest extent possible, while still allowing for work on site to be completed. NOTE DONE. MCA Response: The fence locations are portrayed on Page 10 of this report and on the site plan. 7.All trees that have an existing canopy within 5’ of proposed development must be included in the report. There appear to be additional trees that are protected by City Code with existing canopies within 5 of proposed development on site. The additional trees are located on the south side of the proposed driveway and consist of coast live oak, bay and one eucalyptus to the southwest of the proposed home (though it is difficult to discern if this tree is within the scope as it is not included on the site plan or grading plan). These trees must be added to the report, and their appraised values factored into the security deposit for the site. NOT DONE - Due to newly proposed drainage/utilities there are also additional trees along the western/southern edge of the site to be included. Any proposed utility locations should be shared with the project arborist. MCA Response: Additional trees labeled #295 to #305 have been added to the report and the plans. None of these trees will be highly impacted by the proposed project. Additional trees along the drainage including two large eucalyptus and some small oaks were also included. The new civil plans keep the drainage and dissipator out of the area around these trees, and none are expected to be impacted. Monarch Consulting Arborists LLC - P.O Box 1010, Felton, CA 95018 831.331.8982 - rick@monarcharborist.com of 1 31 22551 Mount Eden Road Tree Inventory, Assessment, and Protection Report September 15, 2020 Revised March 15, 2021 8.Impacts to the health and structure of trees #1980-#1982 will likely be severe due to the proposed excavation and compaction required for the proposed driveway. In order to establish if retention of these trees is feasible, please perform an exploratory trench to establish the size and quantity of existing roots that will be encountered. The trench should be dug by hand, to the proposed excavation depth, leaving all encountered roots intact. Upon completion, please update the report with your findings, as well as any additional mitigation measures. NOT DONE. MCA Response: The trench was completed and revealed eight lateral roots between one and three inches near the soil surface (Page 9). There were no larger structural roots near the root collar revealed. Based on the trench I would not expect the trees to be adversely affected or compromised structurally. a.Alternatively, if tree removal is pursued due to the high likelihood of severe impacts to roots with 6 times DBH, please update your report to reflect these trees as being removed. Any proposed tree removal must be justified using the City’s removal criteria. Please identify which criteria are met in the report. Additionally, a required replacement cost must be added to the report equalling 100% of the value of any tree proposed for removal. Any trees that are proposed for removal do not need to be included in the value of the security deposit for the project site. NOT DONE. MCA Response: The trees in question are subject of a tree removal permit application for #1981 and #1982. However they originate on the adjacent site. Because exploratory trenching did not reveal expected significant impacts to the trees they will be requested to be retained with the driveway as planned.

The residence requires a driveway and firetruck turn around. The inventory contains twenty-two trees comprised of thirteen Tasmanian blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus), four coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), three bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), and two valley oak (Quercus lobata). This inventory contains ten additional trees requested by the City of Saratoga. Seven trees are in good condition, thirteen fair, and two poor. All the blue gums are poorly suited for retention due to pyrophytic nature, large size, and potential risk to both the property owners and motorists on Mount Eden Road. Two trees would be moderately impacted #1981 and #1982 but the exploratory trench did not reveal significant impacts expected. The remaining trees are located far enough from any proposed construction and will not be affected at all. Tree protection will focus on the two stands of trees near the driveway entrance. There were twenty-two trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $231,330.00. The security deposit would require twenty five percent of the total value $57,832.50. Introduction Background Rabia and Faisal Awan asked me to assess the site, trees, and proposed footprint plan, and to provide a report with my findings and recommendations to help satisfy planning requirements. Assignment •Provide an arborist’s report including an assessment of the trees within the project area and on the adjacent sites where necessary. The assessment is to include the species, size (trunk diameter), condition (health, structure and form), and suitability for preservation ratings. •Provide tree protection specifications, guidelines, and expected impact ratings for those affected by the project. Provide appraised values Cost Approach in the Guide for Plant Appraisal, Tenth Edition (2019).

The Saratoga municipal code protects “native trees” with trunk diameters greater than six inches and all other trees ten inches in diameter and greater. The tree diameters were measured at four and one half feet above grade (diameter at breast height DBH) on the high sides of the trees. The diameters of multi-stem trees were calculated according to the City of Saratoga’s definition, which is the sum of the full diameter of the largest stem and half the diameters of the remaining stems or measured at their smallest point below the bifurcation. The inventory contains twenty-two trees comprised of thirteen Tasmanian blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus), four coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), three bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), and two valley oak (Quercus lobata) (Chart 1).

The trees were appraised using the “Cost Approach” and more specifically the “Trunk Formula Technique” (Appendix B). “Trunk Formula Technique” is calculated as follows: Basic Tree Cost = (Unit tree cost x Appraised trunk area), Appraised Value = (Basic tree cost X functional Limitations (percentage) X Condition (percentage) X External Limitations (percentage)). The trunk formula valuations are based on four tree factors; size (trunk cross sectional area), condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. There are two steps to determine the overall value. The first step is to determine the “Basic Tree Cost” based on size and unit tree cost. Unit tree cost is calculated by dividing the nursery wholesale cost of a 24 inch box specimen and its replacement size (cost per square inch trunk caliper) which is determined by the Species Classification and Group Assignment, 2004 Western Chapter Regional Supplement. The cost of the 24 inch box wholesale specimen was determined through personal communications with BrightView and Normans nurseries in Farmington and Central Wholesale in San Jose for an average of $214.00. The second part is to depreciate the tree’s Basic Cost through an assessment of condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. The condition assessment guidelines and percentages are defined in the “Condition Rating” section of this report. Functional limitations are based on factors associated with the tree’s interaction to its planting site that would affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future and include genetics, placement, and site conditions for the individual tree. External limitations are outside the property, out of control of the owner and also affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future (i.e power lines, municipal restrictions, drought adaptations, or species susceptibility to pests). There were twenty-two trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $231,330.00. Appraisal worksheets are available upon request. Monarch Consulting Arborists LLC - P.O Box 1010, Felton, CA 95018 831.331.8982 - rick@monarcharborist.com of 6 31 22551 Mount Eden Road Tree Inventory, Assessment, and Protection Report September 15, 2020 Revised March 15, 2021 Discussion Condition Rating A tree’s condition is a determination of its overall health, structure, and form (ISA 2018). The assessment considered all three characteristics for a combined condition rating. •100% - Exceptional = Good health and structure with significant size, location or quality. •61-80% - Good = Normal vigor, well-developed structure, function and aesthetics not compromised with good longevity for the site. •41-60 % - Fair = Reduced vigor, damage, dieback, or pest problems, at least one significant structural problem or multiple moderate defects requiring treatment. Major asymmetry or deviation from the species normal habit, function and aesthetics compromised. •21-40% - Poor = Unhealthy and declining appearance with poor vigor, abnormal foliar color, size or density with potential irreversible decline. One serious structural defect or multiple significant defects that cannot be corrected and failure may occur at any time. Significant asymmetry and compromised aesthetics and intended use. •6-20% - Very Poor = Poor vigor and dying with little foliage in irreversible decline. Severe defects with the likelihood of failure being probable or imminent. Aesthetically poor with little or no function in the landscape. •0-5% - Dead/Unstable = Dead or imminently ready to fail. Seven trees are in good condition, thirteen fair, and two poor (Chart 2). Monarch Consulting Arborists LLC - P.O Box 1010, Felton, CA 95018 831.331.8982 - rick@monarcharborist.com of 7 31 Quantity 22551 Mount Eden Road Tree Inventory, Assessment, and Protection Report September 15, 2020 Revised March 15, 2021 Suitability for Preservation A tree’s suitability for preservation is determined based on Functional and External Limitations 1 (ISA, 2019) using a scale of good, fair, or poor (Fite, K, and Smiley, E. T., 2016). The following list defines the rating scale: •Good = Trees with good health, structural stability and longevity after construction. •Fair = Trees with fair health and/or structural defects that may be mitigated through treatment. These trees require more intense management and monitoring, before, during, and after construction, and may have shorter life expectancy after development. •Poor = Trees are expected to decline during or after construction regardless of management. The species or individual may possess characteristics that are incompatible or undesirable in landscape settings or unsuited for the intended use of the site. All the blue gums are poorly suited for retention due to pyrophytic nature, large size, and potential risk to both the property owners and motorists on Mount Eden Road. The oaks and bay are naturally occurring trees and their longevity is typically good for this location. Expected Impact Level Impact level defines how a tree may be affected by construction activity and proximity to the tree, and is described as low, moderate, or high. The following scale defines the impact rating: •Low = The construction activity will have little influence on the tree. •Moderate = The construction may cause future health or structural problems, and steps must be taken to protect the tree to reduce future problems. •High = Tree structure and health will be compromised and removal is recommended, or other actions must be taken for the tree to remain. The tree is located in the building envelope. The trees closest to the driveway are not expected to be significantly impacted. Some selective root removal will need to occur now that the trench has revealed the roots in this location The remaining trees are located far enough from any proposed construction and will not be affected. The drainage dissipator has been moved away from the trees and all the utilities will enter the property from under the driveway. Functional Limitations are based on factors associated with the tree’s interaction to its planting site 1 affecting plant condition, limiting plant development, or reducing the utility in the future and include genetics, placement, and site conditions for the individual tree (ISA, 2019). External Limitations are outside the property, out of control of the owner and also affect plant condition, limit plant development, or reduce the utility in the future (i.e power lines, municipal restrictions, drought adaptations, or species susceptibility to pests) (ISA, 2019).

The trench was about three feet deep and twelve inches wide. Inside the trench were smaller feeder roots and eight lateral roots between one and three inches in diameter (Image 1). The roots can be selectively removed to allow for the construction of the driveway and retaining wall (Costello, L., Watson, G., Smiley, E. T.. 2017).

The tree protection zone (TPZ) is the defined area in which certain activities are prohibited to minimize potential injury to the tree. The most current accepted method for determining the TPZ radius is to use a formula based on species tolerance, tree age/ vigor/health, and trunk diameter (Matheny, N. and Clark, J. 1998) (Fite, K, and Smiley, E. T., 2016). Tree protection will focus on the two stands of trees near the driveway entrance. These are the only trees close to any proposed construction on the site.

The inventory contains twenty-two trees comprised of thirteen Tasmanian blue gums, four coast live oak, three bay laurel, and two valley oak. This inventory contains ten additional trees requested by the City of Saratoga. Seven trees are in good condition, thirteen fair, and two poor. All the blue gums are poorly suited for retention due to pyrophytic nature, large size, and potential risk to both the property owners and motorists on Mount Eden Road. The oaks and bay are naturally occurring trees and their longevity is typically good for this location. The trees closest to the driveway will be moderately affected by the required selective root removal. The remaining trees are located far enough from any proposed construction and will not be affected. Tree protection will focus on the two stands of trees near the driveway entrance. There were twenty-two trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $231,330.00. The security deposit would require twenty five percent of the total value $57,832.50.

It is suggested roots greater than one inch in diameter should be pruned rather than left torn or crushed. Roots should be cut with sharp tools so as to leave “a clean flat surface with intact surrounding bark.” 3.All tree maintenance and care shall be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree maintenance and care shall be specified in writing according to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations: Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Management: Standard Practices parts 1 through 10 and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards and local regulations. All maintenance is to be performed according to ISA Best Management Practices. 4.Refer to Appendix D for general tree protection guidelines including recommendations for arborist assistance while working under trees, trenching, or excavation within a trees drip line or designated TPZ/CRZ. 5.Place all the tree protection fence locations and guidelines on the plans including the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Alternatively create a separate plan sheet that includes all three protection measures labeled “T-1 Tree Protection Plan.” 6.Provide a copy of this report to all contractors and project managers, including the architect, civil engineer, and landscape designer or architect. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all parties are familiar with this document. 7.Arrange a pre-construction meeting with the project arborist or landscape architect to verify tree protection is in place, with the correct materials, and at the proper distances. 8.Have a qualified arborist perform a Level 2: Basic Tree Risk Assessment according to the most recent edition of the Best Management Practices: Tree Risk Assessment prior to site occupancy.

Prior to beginning work, all contractors involved with the project should attend a pre construction meeting with the project arborist to review the tree protection guidelines. Access routes, storage areas, and work procedures will be discussed. Tree Protection Zones and Fencing Tree protection fencing should be established prior to the arrival of construction equipment or materials on site. Fencing should be comprised of six-foot high chain link fencing mounted on eight-foot tall, 1 7/8-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground and spaced no more than 10 feet apart. Once established, the fencing must remain undisturbed and be maintained throughout the construction process until final inspection. The fencing should be maintained throughout the site during the construction period and should be inspected periodically for damage and proper functions. Fencing should be repaired, as necessary, to provide a physical barrier from construction activities. A final inspection by the city arborist at the end of the project will be required prior to removing any tree protection fence and replacement tree shall be planted at this time. Monitoring Any trenching, construction or demolition that is expected to damage or encounter tree roots should be monitored by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist and should be documented. The site should be evaluated by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist after construction is complete, and any necessary remedial work that needs to be performed should be noted. Restrictions Within the Tree Protection Zone No storage of construction materials, debris, or excess soil will be allowed within the Tree Protection Zone. Spoils from the trenching shall not be placed within the tree protection zone either temporarily or permanently. Construction personnel and equipment shall be routed outside the tree protection zones.

When roots over two inches in diameter are encountered they should be pruned by hand with loppers, handsaw, reciprocating saw, or chain saw rather than left crushed or torn. Roots should be cut beyond sinker roots or outside root branch junctions and be supervised by the project arborist. When completed, exposed roots should be kept moist with burlap or backfilled within one hour. Boring or Tunneling Boring machines should be set up outside the drip line or established Tree Protection Zone. Boring may also be performed by digging a trench on both sides of the tree until roots one inch in diameter are encountered and then hand dug or excavated with an Air Spade® or similar air or water excavation tool. Bore holes should be adjacent to the trunk and never go directly under the main stem to avoid oblique (heart) roots. Bore holes should be a minimum of three feet deep. Timing If the construction is to occur during the summer months supplemental watering and bark beetle treatments should be applied to help ensure survival during and after construction. Tree Pruning and Removal Operations All tree pruning or removals should be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree pruning should be specified according to ANSI A-300A pruning standards and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards. Trees that need to be removed or pruned should be identified in the pre-construction walk through. Tree Protection Signs All sections of fencing should be clearly marked with signs stating that all areas within the fencing are Tree Protection Zones and that disturbance is prohibited. Text on the signs should be in both English and Spanish (Appendix C) and read TREE PROTECTION ZONE DO NOT MOVE OR REMOVE FENCE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE CITY ARBORIST, KATE BEAR (408) 868-1276.

Once the project is completed, inspected, and approved by the city arborist (a building inspector cannot release the tree security deposit) the bond will be released. Trees damaged by construction activity will require replanting equal to the appraised value state herein. 15-50.080 - Determination on permit (d) Security deposits and maintenance bonds. In the case of an application for, or a project involving encroachment on one or more protected trees, the applicant shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to twenty-five percent to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved at the discretion of the approving authority; provided, however, that any project involving multiple structures or a multi-family structure shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved. The City may also require posting of a maintenance bond or security deposit of at least five years designed to ensure long term maintenance of the affected or replacement trees. Security deposits or maintenance bonds required for protected trees or replacement trees in public or private development may, in the reasonable discretion of the Community Development Director, be refunded upon a determination that the project is in compliance with the City Arborist's requirements and/or Tree Preservation Plan.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your time earlier today and explaining the development plan for our neighbor property. I am fine with the overall development plans. Since we have the most common border with the said property and we are below their proposed house elevation, we are the most impacted neighbor from this development. We have a few comments on the development plans: 1. The retaining walls on the west side facing our property needs to be completed with stucco with mud color to merge with the surrounding areas. We'd also require enhanced landscape and some shrubs to block the wall so that it softens the impact of new development. 2. Since we have our ADU near their house, we would want to make sure that there are no lights facing our property on the west side of the property. 3. Since we have several old Eucalyptus trees near the well at the rear of their property, they need to make sure that there is no leakage of water from the well or the tank. Also, they need to make sure that the amount of water let out into the natural swale is minimal so it does not clog the drain or affect the surrounding trees. I would like to see these changes made to their plans before I approve it. Thanks for your consideration, Udaya 22461 Mt. Eden Road.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this ordinance is to reduce the risk of wildfire in the Wildland Urban Interface Area (WUI) by allowing the removal of certain tree species and waiving the Tree Removal Permit fee. On December 16, 2020, the City Council directed staff to implement the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and Wildfire Public Safety Task Force recommendations related to Firewise Communities, dead tree removal rebate program, communications, and funding for fuel reduction. Those work efforts included working towards CWPP Strategic Goal S-I-5 to reduce the number of problematic tree species. Certain tree species, particularly those that produce more waxes or oils, are more likely to be flammable and release more energy while burning. Some trees also shed significant amounts of bark or branches that can fuel fires. On April 21, 2021, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance that would define problematic tree species and allow these trees to be removed in the WUI to mitigate fire risks. The Council also directed staff to incentivize the removal of problematic trees by waiving the associated permit fee. In addition, the Council directed staff to exclude problematic tree species from being used as replacement trees in the WUI area to reduce the propagation of these trees in the part of the City at the greatest risk for wildfire. DISCUSSION In 2014 Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) published a handbook which includes information for homeowners on how to reduce the risk of wildfires destroying their homes. This book entitled “The Homeowner’s Guide to Wildfire Prevention” offers advice on how to reduce a home’s vulnerability to wildfires though the use of preventative maintenance, reducing or Meeting Date: June 9, 2021 Application: Amendment to the Tree Regulations/ZOA20-0004 Address/APN: Citywide Owner/Applicant: City of Saratoga From: Debbie Pedro, Community Development Director Report Prepared by: Christopher Riordan, Senior Planner 154 Report to the Planning Commission Amendment to the Tree Regulations / ZOA21-0001 June 9, 2021 Page | 2 eliminating the use of flammable exterior materials, and creating defensible space around a home’s perimeter. The handbook specifically mentions two species of trees which have the highest incidence of fire hazard: Monterey pines and blue gum eucalyptus and recommends that these trees be eradicated from fire prone areas and/or no longer planted. Based on Council’s direction, staff is recommending that the proposed ordinance define problematic tree species as Monterey pines and blue gum eucalyptus as these are the trees that are specifically recommended for removal by the SCCFD and are common tree species located within Saratoga’s hillsides and the WUI area. Staff is also recommending that the cost of a tree permit be waived for Monterey pines and blue gum eucalyptus to make it easier for homeowners to remove these trees. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 21-0010 2. Draft Ordinance Amending Sections 15-50.070 and 15-50.080 (Tree Regulations) of the Saratoga City Code 155 RESOLUTION NO: 21-0010 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 15 OF THE SARATOGA CITY CODE APPLICATION ZOA21-0001 WHEREAS, on December 16, 2020, the City Council directed staff to implement the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and Wildfire Public Safety Task Force recommendations related to Firewise Communities, dead tree removal rebate program, communications, and funding for fuel reduction; and WHEREAS, on April 21, 2021, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance for Planning Commission review to amend Sections 15-50.070 and 15-50.080 of the Zoning Regulations to remove the cost of a tree permit to incentivize the removal of problematic trees species that have been determined are more flammable and release more energy while burning and to restrict the use of problematic trees as replacement trees. WHEREAS, on June 9, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed Public Hearing on the proposed amendment to the City Code and considered evidence presented by City Staff and all interested parties. NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Saratoga hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows: Section 1: The recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2: The proposed amendments to the City Code are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment.

CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential of causing a significant effect on the environment. Section 3: After careful consideration of the staff report and other materials, exhibits and evidence submitted to the City in connection with this matter, the Planning Commission of the City of Saratoga does hereby recommend that the City Council amend the City Code as shown in Exhibit A.

(b)Notice. After making a determination on an application for tree removal, the Community Development Director shall provide notification of the determination to the applicant and residents within one hundred fifty feet of the boundaries of applicant's property, in accordance with Section 15-50.100. If the Community Development Director determines that the tree is a dead tree as defined in Section 15-50.020(i), or a tree species identified in Section 15- 50.080(a)(12), the Community Development Director may waive notification of neighbors and may issue a permit without any right of appeal or any appeal period prior to the exercise of the permit. (c) Pruning permit. (1) A permit is required for structural pruning in excess of twenty-five percent of the canopy of any protected tree within a two-year period.

No permit is required for the pruning of productive agricultural trees. (d)Encroachment permit. Where no Planning Division or Building Division permit is needed for work near a tree, but a protected tree will be encroached upon, a tree encroachment permit is required from the Community Development Department. Attachment 2 158 2 (e) Application fee. Fees shall be charged as set forth in the City's fee schedule. No fee shall be required for a permit to remove a fallen or dead tree or for a tree species identified in Section 15-50.080(a)(12) provided that tree replacement requirements as a condition of the tree removal permit are met. 15-50.080 - Determination on permit. (a) Criteria. Each application for a tree removal pruning or encroachment permit shall be reviewed and determined on the basis of the following criteria: (1) The condition of the tree with respect to disease, imminent danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures and interference with utility services, and whether the tree is a Dead tree or a Fallen tree. (2) The necessity to remove the tree because of physical damage or threatened damage to improvements or impervious surfaces on the property. (3) The topography of the land and the effect of the tree removal upon erosion, soil retention and the diversion or increased flow of surface waters, particularly on steep slopes.

(10) The necessity to remove the tree for installation and efficient operation of solar panels, subject to the requirements that the tree(s) to be removed, shall not be removed until solar panels have been installed and replacement trees planted in conformance with the City Arborist's recommendation. (11) The necessity to remove a tree following the creation of defensible space within 100 feet of a structure located within the Wildland Urban Interface, in accordance with defensible space standards established by CAL FIRE or as determined by Santa Clara County Fire Department, and that risk of increased wildfire cannot reasonably be addressed through maintenance or without tree removal. (12) Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) or blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) located within the Wildland Urban Interface Area. 159 3 (b) Additional recommendations. The Community Development Director may refer the application to another department, commission or person for a report and recommendation. The Director may also require the applicant to furnish a written report from an ISA Certified Arborist acceptable to the Director, such report to be obtained at the sole expense of the applicant. At the discretion of the Community Development Director, City Arborist review may be required before any tree removal, pruning or encroachment permit is issued or before approval of a project involving the removal of, pruning of or encroachment upon one or more protected trees is granted. City Arborist review shall also be at the sole expense of the applicant. (c) Decision by Director. The Community Development Director shall render his or her decision within thirty days after the filing of the application for a permit. The Director may grant or deny the application or grant the same with conditions, including, but not limited to, (1) the condition that one or more replacement trees be planted of a species and size and at locations as designated by the Director. For properties located in the Wildland Urban Interface Area, required replacement trees shall not include those species listed in Section 15.50.080(a)(12), (2) relocation of existing tree desired to be removed, and/or (3) payment of a fee or the posting of a bond or security deposit in favor of the City to the Tree Fund. Any such tree replacement, relocation, fee payment, or bonding or security deposit shall be at the sole expense of the applicant. (d) Security deposits and maintenance bonds. In the case of an application for, or a project involving encroachment on one or more protected trees, the applicant shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to twenty-five percent to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved at the discretion of the approving authority; provided, however, that any project involving multiple structures or a multi-family structure shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved. The City may also require posting of a maintenance bond or security deposit of at least five years designed to ensure long term maintenance of the affected or replacement trees. Security deposits or maintenance bonds required for protected trees or replacement trees in public or private development may, in the reasonable discretion of the Community Development Director, be refunded upon a determination that the project is in compliance with the City Arborist's requirements and/or Tree Preservation Plan. In the case of violations of this Article or where replacement, restitution, or other remedy required pursuant to Section 15-50.170 cannot be made on the project site, then such payments shall be made from the deposit or bond being held before any refund is made. *** End of Amendments *** 160
