HomeMy WebLinkAbout3.2 TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS May 4, 2006 Staff Report to the Planning Commission RE: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A NEW 9,906 SQUARE FOOT TWO STORY RESIDENCE, DRIVEWAY, AND A GRADING POLICY EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A PORTION OF THE FINISHED FLOOR TO BE SIX AND A HALF FEET ABOVE EXISTING GRADE; LANDS OF ASKARI; 27861 NATOMA ROAD; FILE#160-05-ZP-SD-GD. FROM: Brian Froelich, Assistant Planner APPROVED BY: Carl Cahill, Acting City Manager/Planning Director CC RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: Approve the requested Site Development Permit and Grading Policy Exception for the new residence, subject to the conditions and findings of approval in Attachments 1 and 2. BACKGROUND The subject 2.95 acre parcel is located on the west side of Natoma Road, northwest of the Natoma Road and Black Mountain Road intersection. The irregularly shaped property has a frontage along Natoma Road of nearly 900 feet. The project requires dedication of approximately 0.75 acres to the Town for the Natoma Road right of way. The net acreage of the property(for development purposes) is 2.222 acres. Topographic features on the property include an upper tributary of Matadero Creek and a natural swale. The site also contains heritage oak trees and a row of mature eucalyptus trees along the Natoma Road frontage. The existing residence was built in 1953 and would be demolished. The existing vehicular access is a rocked, circular driveway that will be removed. The building site is down slope from the right of way and with the existing vegetation is not highly visible from the road or surrounding properties. CODE REQUIREMENTS This application is not eligible for the Fast-Track process under section 10- 2.1305.1(a)(3), because the applicant requests a Grading Policy Exception. Specifically, the applicant proposes a finished floor that is six and a half (6.5) feet above existing grade. The raised floor area covers approximately 200 square foot of the building footprint. The remainder of the building complies. The Grading Policy allows finished floors to be up to three (3) feet above existing grade to assure that structures step with the slope. Per the Grading Policy (attached) the Planning Commission has discretion to allow Grading Policy Exceptions on individual projects. i Planning Commission Lands of Askari C May 4,2006 Page 2 of 13 DISCUSSION Site Data: Gross Lot Area: 2.95 acres Net Lot Area: 2.22 acres Average Slope: 17.3% Lot Unit Factor: 1.847 Site The project requires dedication of approximately 0.75 acres to the Town for the Natoma Road right of way. The net acreage of the property (for development purposes) is thereby reduced to 2.222 acres. The property contains a tributary of Matadero Creek. The proposal complies with Section 10-2.702; all portions of the proposed residence and driveway pavement ., are a minimum of 25 feet from the top of the creek bank. This portion of Matadero .:_� "'►'� Creek is not within the jurisdiction of the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) and permits from SCVWD are not required for this project. Natural swale and Matadero Creek. The property contains portions designated as Open Space Conservation Area (OSCA) per the General Plan Land Use Diagram (see attached). The OSCA roughly follows the Matadero Creek Bank and associated vegetation. The creek bank meanders along the property's southern boundary for a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. The applicant has offered an Open Space Easement (see graphic attached) over approximately 30,000 square feet of the property in this area. The vegetation pattern along the creek bank forms aI natural boundary that the easement will follow. The Open Space Easement will cover an area from the top of the creek bank to the canopy line on the east side of the Matadero Creek Bank (on the subject property only) and run _ along the southern property line approximately 1,000 linear feet (parallel to the creek bank). The canopy line varies in width and proximity " - -max to the creek bank and so may the easement line. Stand of Oak Trees in the natural swale. Planning Commission Lands of Askari May 4,2006 Page 3 of 13 The Open Space Easement will widen to include the canopy of six heritage oak trees located in the natural drainage swale on site. The easement shall also include all portions of the site with greater than 30% slope as shown on the engineering plans. The Open Space Easement dedication is a recommended condition of approval and the required documentation would be prepared by the project engineer prior to accepting plans for Building Department review. The applicant has cooperated with staff and the Open Space Committee in addressing this issue. Floor Area and Development Area: Area Maximum Proposed Existing Increase Left Development 22,979 18,800 9,800 +9,000 +4,179 Floor 10,559 9,906 3,000 +6,906 +653 Residence-Floor Area The new two story residence is sited in generally the same location as the existing residence to be demolished. The proposed dwelling totals 9,906 square feet of floor area. This includes a 4,839 square foot first floor (includes porte couchere), 4,095 square foot second floor, and a 972 square foot four (4) car garage. The proposed floor area accounts for 94% of the total maximum floor area allowed for the property, with a remaining 653 square feet for future development. The rectangular, two story building design will increase the visible bulk from off site and the structure is sited perpendicular to topographic contours,.which is generally not recommended. These concerns were communicated to the applicant during the project review period and the applicant has chosen to move forward with this design. The building design does comply with height, setback, and NIDA/MFA requirements. Drivewa /Hardsca e-Develo ment Area The applicant proposes a new single access driveway and entry feature. The design is an amenity rather than a minimal site vehicular access. It was demonstrated early in the review period that the proposed design is not the minimum required driveway for accessing the property. Section 10-1.505 (a)(3) (excluding driveway portions beyond 100 linear feet in the MDA total) does not apply because of the decorative nature of the driveway. The design includes a cobra head turn around feature, a 280 foot runway, and portions wider than 14 feet (not in setback). These are all design features and are not the minimum required for site access and therefore included in the development area total. The design requires more grading and site work than a more conservative design. A 200 square foot portion of the driveway entrance was excluded from the development area total because that portion would have been required regardless of the driveway design. Planning Commission Lands of Askari ! May 4,2006 Page 4 of 13 The driveway totals 7,775 square feet and complies with Town and Fire Department standards. The proposed driveway requires fills that range from two to three feet on the down hill side. No walls are proposed with the driveway construction. Proposed hardscape (other than the driveway) is limited to the front entry porch that covers 1,319 square feet. The applicant has noted that he may apply for a pool and decking under a separate submittal. The total proposed development area accounts for 82% of the maximum development area allowed for the property, with a remaining 4,179 square feet for future development. Landscaping-Trees and Lighting Along the Natoma Road frontage the property is studded with large, mature eucalyptus trees. Many of these trees were damaged or fell during the 2005-2006 winter storms. These trees are a public nuisance per Section 12-2.206 of the Municipal Code because of their proximity to the road and are a threat to the safety and welfare of residents, motorists, and pedestrians. Recommended conditions include complete removal prior to accepting plans for building permits. The property owner reported that other trees on the south side of the existing residence were downed or damaged through the winter. In the proximity of the construction and staging there are five heritage oak trees that must be fenced according to the Town's tree protection fencing standards. An Arborist report was not required because the long term health of the trees should not be affected by the proposal. No grading or work is proposed in the heritage oak tree drip lines. The property owner has proposed a minimal number of building mounted lights. The placement is consistent with the Lighting Policy. All lights must be low wattage and either shielded down lights or have a frosted or etched lens. The applicant may include landscape lighting with the required landscape/screening review. Grading The applicant requests a Grading Policy Exception to allow a finished floor up to six and a half(6.5) feet above existing grade where three (3) feet above grade is the standard. The design requires three (3) feet of fill and then the finished floor would be three and a half (3.5) feet above the proposed grade. The raised floor is located in the proposed library at the southern most portion of the building. The floor covers an area of approximately 200 square feet. The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans and has recommended conditions of approval as specified in Attachment 1. It was observed that minor site grading had begun without the benefit of Town approval. Approximately 30 cubic yards was cut from the front of the site and filled in the rear. This work would have been subject to an administrative grading permit. The recommended a t. : Planning Commission Lands of Askari May 4,2006 Page 5 of 13 conditions require the applicant to pay a fee three times the amount of the required permit prior to accepting plans for building plan check. Geotechnical Review The site is not located in a geologic or seismic hazard zone per the Town's Geological and Seismic Hazard Zones Map, 2004. However, the site does exceed 15% slope and the project geotechnical report was evaluated by the Town's geotechnical consultant, Cotton, Shires and Associates. Cotton, Shires, and Associates does not have geotechnical objections to the basic site layout. Standard Geotechnical conditions apply. The project geotechnical engineer provide supplemental letters to the Town prior to acceptance of building plans for review and prior to final inspection.. Fire Department Review The Santa Clara County Fire Department reviewed the plans and has required that the building be sprinklered. The proposed driveway complies with standard D-1 for emergency vehicle access with a slope less than 15% and a turnaround with an outside radius greater than 36 feet. Committee Review The Pathways Committee recommends collecting the Pathway in lieu fee. The current in lieu fee is $47 multiplied by the width (in feet) of the property. The Environmental Design Committee recommends that a 25 foot structural setback be enforced. The committee also requested removal of an invasive shrub species and the property owner reportedly complied. The committee requests an Open Space Easement over portions of the property that exceed 30% slope. The area is covered by the owner's proposed easement. The Open Space Committee met with the property owner and staff throughout the project review and supports the proposed Open Space Easement location. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE(CEOA) The proposed single family residence is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act by provision of Section 15303, Class 3 (a): "Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures..." "(a) One single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption."

The proposed plan and grading is in substantial conformance with the General Plan Land Use Element General Principle #1 which states that "Uses of land should maintain the rural atmosphere, minimize disturbance to natural terrain, minimize removal of the natural vegetation and create the maximum compatibility of development with the natural environment through site design, architecture and landscaping." 2. The proposed area of grading is not on a hillside and will not result in the substantial visual alteration of the natural terrain. The property's existing contours and basic landform are retained. 3. The proposed grading will not result in the placement of retaining walls that are visible from off-site. 4. The proposed grading will not result in the removal of any substantial vegetation or alteration of existing drainage patterns. 5. The proposed area requiring exception is a small corner of the building (200 square feet). The area complies with all height requirements and does not increase the visible bulk of the building. ATTACHMENT 3- ., POLICY REGARDING GRADING Policy Re: Grading Code Sections and Design Guidelines: Section 10-2.702(c) of the Site Development Ordinance states that: "The amount of grading, excavation, or fill shall be the minimum necessary to accommodate proposed structures, unless grading is proposed to lower the profile of buildings." Section 10- 2.703(a) requires that: "Type II foundations - step-on-contour, daylight, pole foundations, or a combination thereof- shall be used on building sites with natural slopes in excess of fourteen percent (14%)." Policy A-2 of Goal I of the Design Guidelines (p. 5) indicates that construction should "blend with the contour of the land." Policy A-2 of Goal II (p. 14) indicates that: "On a sloping site, the structure should be stepped down the hill utilizing one story building elements. Avoid cantilevers and stilts over downhill slopes. Cut foundations should be used instead of fill on hilly terrain." atent: The purpose of this policy is to outline desired criteria for grading which assure that construction retains the existing contours and basic landform of the site to the greatest extent feasible. It is also intended that the policy provide guidance for "stepping" structures down sloped hillsides, and emphasizes cut to lower the profile of structures over fill or'foundation walls, which tend to raise the profile of the structure. While balanced cut and fill is desirable to minimize import or export of soil to,onfrom a site, it is recognized that the Town's policies and the guidelines below may encourage export as cut is generally preferred over fill. These policies are intended to be used by staff in evaluating and.- making recommendations to the Planning Commission and/or City Council regarding site development applications, and as guidance for applicants. Individual sites may dictate a need to deviate from the criteria, to the extent permitted by the Planning Commission and/or City Council. Policy Re: Grading page 2 04 Policies: 1. Cuts and fills in excess of the following levels generally will be considered excessive and contrary to Town ordinances and policies to grade only to the minimum extent necessary to accommodate structures and to site structures consistent with slope contours,i.e., "step down"the hill*: Cut Fill House 8'** 3' Accessory Bldg. 4' 3' Tennis Court 6' 3' Pool 4'*** 3' Driveways 4' 3' Other (decks,yards) 4' Y * Combined depths of cut plus fill for development other than the main residence should be limited to 6 feet, except that for tennis courts cut plus fill may be permitted up to a maximum of 8 feet. ** Excludes basements meeting Code definition. *** Excludes excavation for pool. 2. The height of the lowest finished floor(s) of a structure should generally not be set in excess of three (3) feet above the existing grade,, to assure that structures step with the slope. 3. Driveway cut may be increased up to a maximum of eight feet (8') for the portion of the driveway or backup area which is adjacent to a garage that has been lowered with a similar amount of cut. 4. Cut and/or fill for drainage shall be limited consistent with the guidelines set forth above for each type of structure, but shall be the minimum. grading needed for drainage purposes,as determined by the City Engineer.
