Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 2 3.1 LANDS OF YONG, 13456 South Fork Lane; File #249-10-ZP-SD-GD- VAR-IS-ND; A request for a Site Development Permit for a 7,337 square foot two-story new residence with a 3,647 square foot basement and an attached secondary dwelling unit (Maximum height: 27'), removal of two (2) heritage oak trees, and a Floor Area and Development Area Variance to preserve an existing 260 square foot accessory structure (writing studio). CEQA Review: Mitigate Negative Declaration (staff -Brian Froelich). CONTINUED FROM THE MAY 31, 2011 FAST TRACK MEETING. Draft Brian Froelich, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for a new 7,337 square foot two story residence with a 3,647 square foot basement, swimming pool, an attached secondary dwelling unit, the removal of two heritage oak trees, the demolition of an existing cottage, and a variance to relocate an accessory structure. The Open Space Committee has recommended dedicating approximately 0.5 acre of the property with steep slopes as an open space easement. The property was formerly owned by Pulitzer Prize winning author Wallace Stegner. In May of 2011 the project was scheduled for a Fast Track hearing. Prior to the hearing the National Trust of Historic Preservation (NTHP) submitted a letter to the Town contesting the CEQA categorical exemption determination. The project was continued while the Town worked with historic preservation consultants to evaluate the site relative to its historic significance. The owner now proposes to relocate the existing writing studio onsite. A MDA/ MFA variance is required to relocate the structure. The studio is a 13' by 20' foot structure with standard wood construction. The initial study recommends a mitigation measure to document the site through photographs and written documentation per Historic American Building Standards (HABS), level two. Commissioner Harpootlian asked Edward Grutzmacher, City Attorney, to explain what rights the Town has to require what the Yongs can do with their property. Mr. Grutzmacher stated that the Town has the police power to regulate private property. CEQA specifically provides the authority for mitigating the environmental impacts of projects, however there has to be a nexus between the impact, and the proposed mitigations. Commissioner Partridge asked staff about the driveway and pathway on the property that fall within the open space easement. Director Pedro stated that the proposed easement will connect with another existing open space easement to the north. She explained that the open space easement agreement will include language to allow for pathways, the repaving and maintenance of the driveway, and the inclusion of certain structures typical of other properties such as identification lighting and a mailbox. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 3 Draft Raymond Neal, Architect, explained that they are proposing a project that complies with Town's policies, is a house the Yongs want to live in, and to preserve the writer's studio which is a piece of Town history. Commissioner Harpootlian asked the applicant if he saw any restrictions to placing the open space easement over his driveway. Mr. Neal stated that the Yongs do not have any objections over the proposed open space easement. Michael Kuranoff, neighbor on South Fork Lane, supports the project and believes the Yongs have tried to preserve the character of the house and property. Les Earnest, resident, is not in support of the project. He does not believe that moving the study downhill is an act of preservation. He urged the Commission to not accept the proposal, stating that he believes there are technical errors with the review. Jitze Couperus, neighbor on Page Mill Road, supports the project and the mitigation measures being taken by the Yongs to relocate the studio on the property. Mr. Green, neighbor on South Fork Lane, supports the project and the proposed mitigation to relocate the studio. Mr. Neal stated that the Yongs are supportive of the recommended mitigation measures and are willing to preserve the studio on site, as proposed in the plans to the Planning Commission. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner Clow supports the mitigation measure of keeping the studio on site, and supports the findings for the variance. He is in favor of approving the application as presented. Commissioner Abraham agrees with Commissioner Clow and supports staff's recommendation to approve the project. Commissioner Harpootlian agrees with the other Commissioners and believes that removing the study from the site would ruin the integrity of the historic significance of the property. Commissioner Partridge supports the project as presented. MOTION MADE, SECONDED, AND PASSED BY ROLL CALL VOTE: Commissioner Abraham moved to recommend to City Council to approve the initial study and adopt the mitigated negative declaration and the mitigation monitoring program in attachment three; and approve the site development permit and variance for the project, citing the findings in attachment two and subject to the conditions of approval in attachment one. Seconded by Commissioner Harpootlian. Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 4 AYES: Commissioners: Abraham, Clow, Harpootlian and Partridge NOES: None ABSENT: Chairman Collins ABSTAIN: None 3.2 LANDS OF SHARP AND HARRIS, 26958 Dezahara Way; File #283- 11-ZP-SD-GD; Appeal of a Site Development approval of a 4,981 square foot two-story new residence with a 2,035 square foot basement (Maximum height 26'8") and a 592 square foot swimming pool. CEQA Review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15303 (a)&(e) (staff -Brian Froelich). APPEALED FROM THE MARCH 27, 2012 FAST TRACK MEETING. Draft Brian Froelich, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for a new 4,981 square foot two story residence with a 2,035 square foot basement, and a swimming pool. The property is one acre, with Purissima Creek traversing the southern portion of the property. An open space easement is recommended over the portion of creek on the property. The project was appealed following a Fast Track approval on March 27, 2012. The main concerns of the neighbors are the CC&R's for the Rosehill Estates subdivision, building height and bulk, blocked views, and drainage. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING Dr. Harris, applicant, stated that the proposed home meets all of the Town's requirements and protects the privacy of neighbors. The design of the home has a maximum roof slope of 4-12, and the home is cut into the ground so that the front door sits four feet below grade and the second story is at street level. Cutting beyond the four feet would result in issues with the driveway, would require stairs to the front door which will impacts accessibility, and would require a variance. Moving the home further downhill would require a longer ramp to the door which would impact the MDA of the project, which is already at the maximum allowable. The alternative of a single story .home would have greater ground coverage and generated environmental impact concerns. Tom Sloan, Architect, stated that the home is parallel to the topography of the site and mitigation measures including landscape screening which will draw focus away from the house will lessen the views from the street. . Commissioner Clow asked Dr. Harris about placing an earth berm in front of the home to create the visual illusion that the house is only one story. Dr. Harris supports the inclusion of a berm to mitigate the visual impacts of the residence. Commissioner Partridge asked the applicant if there was a way to lower the height of the roof. Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 5 Draft. Dr. Harris explained that the home was designed to be located away from the two pathway easements and creek easement along the property, and to be accessible without stairs to the front door and garage. Mr. Sloan stated that lowering the roof pitch below 4:12 is not standard and currently there is barely any attic space. Adolf Pfefferbaum, neighbor on Dezahara Way, believes that the project will have a great impact on views from his home. He does not support the project because he does not believe that it meets the goals of the Town's General Plan. He would like the applicant to come up with a new design that reduces the height of the building and is more compatible with the rest of the neighborhood. Katy Serverti, neighbor on Dezahara Way, does not support the project because the home will impact neighbor's views, is not compatible with other homes in the neighborhood, and does not comply with the neighborhood CC&R's. Bob Serverti, neighbor on Dezahara Way, does not support the project for the following reasons: the bulk of the home is too great, neighbor views are blocked, and the home is not compatible with other homes in the neighborhood. He believes that landscape screening will add to the bulk of the building. Mark Scheible, neighbor on Dezahara Way, does not support the project because he believes it does not comply with the Town's regulations and the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). He is concerned about the amount of water runoff from the residence. He explained that John Chau, Assistant Engineer, ensured him that a retaining wall will stop water runoff from flowing into the creek. However he is still concerned about erosion to the creek. Steve Chan, neighbor on Dezahara Way, is concerned about anything that might impact soil stability. Kathy Newton-Scheible, neighbor on Dezahara Way and member of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), does not believe that the project has neighbor buy -in, and believes that it does not meet the needs of the neighbor's in protecting views. Mare Shibuya, neighbor on Dezahara Way, supports the project and would like to see it approved. Chung Shu -Kim, neighbor, is concerned about the sewer pipe that clogs in the winter. She would like for the applicants to maintain the property and preserve the views of neighbors. Lily Shibuya, neighbor on Dezahara Way, is in support of the project because she believes that the applicants have tried to appease the neighbors. She also believes that the applicants are entitled to build their dream house. Regarding the CC&R's, she stated that many other neighbors have violated them as they built their homes. Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 6 Draft Dr. Harris clarified that neighbor considerations were taken into account when planning the home. She stated that the home does fit with the characteristics of the neighborhood, as about half of the homes in the neighborhood have a two story elements. - Commissioner Harpootlian believes that moving the home downhill will generate problems. He agrees with some of the neighbors that there is a perception of bulk with the home and would like to see a reduction in height of about five feet. Dr. Harris stated that the major obstacle in dropping the house by five feet is accessibility, which is a main concern for her. Mr. Sharp, applicant, stated that there could be room to lower the roofline. He expressed that increasing cut to lower the roofline is not a viable option because the home needs to be wheelchair accessible. He also stated that increasing the slope of the driveway could violate the rules and regulations of the fire department. Shad Shokralla, developer, explained that lowering the home could impact drainage. He explained that there is also a requirement that drainage be thirty feet from the residence. He stated that lowering the roof pitch to 3:12 is the lowest pitch obtainable without having a flat roof. Reducing the height from 4:12 to 3:12 would reduce the height of the home by about a foot. Director Pedro stated that with regard to grading, staff is concerned about the driveway which is already at a fifteen percent slope. Additional grading will require additional review by the fire department. Commissioner Harpootlian asked the applicant if the chimney could be minimized or eliminated. Mr. Shokralla stated that the chimney could be reduced without impacting the efficiency of the fireplace. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner Harpootlian supports the overall design of the house and believes that the applicants have been considerate of neighbor concerns regarding views. He is interested in alternative designs which could reduce the bulk of the project, such as reducing height through grading or adjusting the roof. He would like to see a height reduction of up to five feet. Commissioner Abraham believes that the project is appropriate for the site. He believes that when someone buys property is Los Altos Hills they should have the right to develop their property, just as others were able to develop their property. He stated that the project is compliant with the Fast Track guidelines, which means that all requirements have been met for the project. He believes that a berm in front of the home will make the house appear to be one story. He does not support moving the home downhill. He fully supports the project as presented. Commissioner Clow believes that once the property is fully landscaped it will look like other properties in the neighborhood. He explained that the challenge of the home is to make the second story look like it is on a level surface, and make the residence appear to be one story. If Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 7 Draft executed properly, he believes the project will fit in with the community. He noted that the property begins several feet in from the road, resulting in a twelve to fifteen foot setback before dirt can be placed on the property, which makes constructing a berm difficult. As part of the resolution, he would like to grant the applicant an exception on grading to allow the applicant to build an earth berm of up to five feet,. He supports the project and believes it makes sense to lower the roof by one foot and to reduce the height of the chimney. Commissioner Partridge expressed appreciation for the design of the residence which meets all of the Town's requirements. It is clear to him that the lot is buildable and that any structure on the site will impact the views of some neighbors. He would like to see mitigation measures implemented to lesson these impacts. He does not support moving the home downhill but does believe the residence should be lowered by two to five feet, and the chimney made less visible. He supports adding a berm in front of the home. MOTION MADE, AMENDED, SECONDED, AND PASSED BY ROLL CALL VOTE: Commissioner Abraham moved to approve the plans as presented with the following changes: reduce the roof pitch to 3:12, the chimney component be removed in its entirety and .replaced with an appropriate roof vent, and a grading policy exception be granted for the landscaping plans to locate a five foot berm within ten feet of the property line facing Dezahara Way. Commissioner Harpootlian suggested that the roofline be lowered by two feet, instead of specifying a roof pitch, and that the landscape plans be brought back to the Planning Commission for review. Commissioner Abraham amended the motion to include the suggestions presented by Commissioner Harpootlian. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Clow. AYES: Commissioners: Abraham, Clow, Harpootlian, and Partridge NOES: None ABSENT: Chairman Collins ABSTAIN: None 3.3 LANDS OF YIU, 26880 Elena Road; File #5-12-ZP-SD-GD; A request for a Site Development Permit for a 4,999 square foot new two story residence with a 2,371 square foot basement and a 694 square foot basement garage (Maximum height: 27'), a new driveway access, swimming pool and removal of two (2) heritage oak trees. The applicant is also requesting a grading policy exception for portions of the driveway. CEQA Review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15303 (a) & (e) (staff -Cynthia Richardson). At the request of the applicant Item 3.3 was continued to the June 7, 2012 Planning Commission meeting. Planning Commission Minutes Draft May 3, 2012 Page 8 3.4 Lands of LANDS OF MORGAN; 13209 West Sunset Drive; File #59-11- ZP-SD-GD; A request for a Site Development Permit for a 3,885 square foot two story new residence with a 2,143 square foot basement (maximum height 24'6"), a 999 square foot single story detached secondary dwelling unit with a 999 square foot basement (maximum height 16'), and the removal of one (1) 26.4" heritage oak tree located along the south side of the driveway/backup area. CEQA review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15303 (a) (staff -Nicole Horvitz). CONTINUED FROM THE APRIL 3, 2012 FAST TRACK MEETING. Nicole Horvitz, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report for the two story new residence with a daylighted basement garageand a detached secondary dwelling unit with a basement. The proposal includes the removal of eight trees, one heritage oak tree which was called out in the arborist report as being in fair condition. The heritage oak tree will be replaced at a 3:1 ratio. The application was submitted in March 2011 and the Fast Track hearing was delayed after neighbors expressed concerns for the project in November 2011 when story poles were erected. The plans were revised to lower the roofline by two feet through means of lowering the plate height and dropping the house in the grade. The application went to the April 3, 2012 Fast Track hearing and due to neighbors objections for the project, has been forwarded to the Planning Commission. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING Mr. Morgan, applicant, explained that after his original submission, he became aware of the following neighbor concerns: height of the structure, views from the street and the property above, and the blocking of sunlight. He stated that the current set of plans attempt to mitigate the concerns. The new residence is similar in size to the existing residence, meets the rules and regulations of the Town, and will include landscaping to screen theviews of the residence from other properties. Commissioner Harpootlian asked the applicant about the placement and noise impacts of the air- conditioning units. He also asked about the height of the chimney which was not expressed by the story poles. Daryl Harris, architect, stated that the AC units are located in the rear yard, with the closest neighbor being the Andersons. He explained that there are many AC models which are relatively quiet. Regarding the chimney, he stated that it is an architectural feature which could be reduced in height. Commissioner Harpootlian asked about the potential for a light nuisance generated by the skylights facing the Anderson's property. He also asked about the location of the proposed solar panels. Debbie Pedro, Planning Director, stated that per condition twelve of attachment one in the staff report, skylights are required to have tinted glass to reduce emitted light. Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 9 Draft Mr. Harris stated that depending on the conclusions of the solar contractor, the solar panels will most likely be located on the south facing portion of the roof. Commissioner Harpootlian pointed out that the solar panels would be facing the Anderson's home and will be quite visible to them. Judy Anderson, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, expressed concern for the visual impacts of the solar panels and skylights, blockage of views from her home, and the noise impacts of the AC units. She does not support the project. Larry Anderson, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, expressed that he does not support the project. for the following reasons: the project impairs views from his home, it does not conform to the Town's guidelines, and it is not consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. Mark Solle, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, does not support the project primarily because of the height of the new residence. He also feels that the new residence is proposed to be located too close to the street. He would like to see revised plans with a minimum of a two foot reduction in height, which he believes can be done with grading. He would also like the second floor to be pushed back from West Sunset Drive, about five feet. Susan Cook, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, is concerned that increasing the landscaping will block even more light from her home. Robyn Hastings, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, suggested that the applicant install a sod roof to mitigate the impacts of the new residence. She is also concern about the potential for water collecting at the end of the driveway where it dips downward. Gary Kalbach, neighbor on Burke Road, explained that he was previously told by the Town that he could not build a two story home and believes it would be a double standard if the project were to be approved. Jerry Brown, neighbor on West Sunset Drive, is not directly impacted by the project but voiced his support for the concerns of the Anderson's and Solle's. Mr. Harris stated that the project complies with the Town's rules and regulations and compared to other projects residences in Town, has a relatively small footprint. He explained that the proposed home will not cast a shadow on surrounding properties. Commissioner Clow asked Mr. Harris to address the specific proposal of Mr. Solle to move the master bedroom back by five feet. Mr. Harris stated that it is not a feasible option because moving it back would -put the top floor over the daylighted garage, which would violate the Town's Basement Ordinance. Commissioner Harpootlian asked about the applicant's plans to hook up to sewer. Planning Commission Minutes Draft May 3, 2012 Page 10 Mr. Morgan explained that currently there is no sewer line on West Sunset Drive. He has plans to connect to sewer once he works out the details of bringing a sewer line down West Sunset Drive Director Pedro state that there is a condition associated with the project which requires the residence to connect to sewer. Commissioner Harpootlian asked the applicant if he had any considerations for the coloring of the home, in particular the solar panels. Mr. Morgan stated that he has not considered coloring but he will be mindful in his decision. He stated that he is willing to work with Mr. Anderson to come to an agreement. COMMISSIONER PARTRIDGE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner Harpootlian stated that he has a few small concerns with the project. He would like to see some type of test be required for the AC units to verify that they comply with Town standards, when all three units are running at once. He is also concerned about the visual impacts of the roof to the Anderson's property. He would like to see the skylights modified to mitigate the impacts of light pollution. He would like the color of the roof to be a subdued color and compatible with the color of the solar panels and other elements of the home. He does not see a benefit to reducing the height of the residence or rearranging the building because there would be little change to view impacts. He supports the changes made to the driveway. Commissioner Abraham agrees with Commissioner Harpootlian and believes that landscaping in front of the residence will mitigate impacts from the street. Regarding skylights, he believes there are designs which encompass blinds and can be closed off to light, or LCD filter can be used to control the amount of light entering and exiting the skylight. Regarding the AC system, he would like to see a requirement associated with the final signoff of the project that a noise measurement must be taken at the property line with all three AC units running to see if the noise emitted meets the Town's standard. Commissioner Clow agrees with the other Commissioners. He believes that landscaping will be important to the project and mitigating visual impacts to neighbors. He does not believe that lowering the home is a viable decision because it will not resolve many of the neighbor's concerns. Commissioner Partridge supports the project and is aware that there will be some visual impacts of the home to neighbors, possibly more than associated with the existing home. However, he does not believe that the impacts will be great. MOTION MADE, AMENDED, SECONDED, AND PASSED BY ROLL CALL VOTE: Commissioner Harpootlian moved to approve the request for a site development permit for a new residence with a basement, a detached secondary dwelling unit with a basement, and the removal of one heritage oak tree; subject to the recommended conditions of approval in attachment one, r ". Planning Commission Minutes May 3, 2012 Page 11 Draft with the additional conditions that all skylights be tinted, the AC units be tested before final approval to ensure they meet Town standards, and that the colors of the roof be muted and compatible with the solar panels. Director Pedro explained that typically the Town has required a reflectivity value on roofs of forty percent, which limits how bright the color can be without specifying any colors. Commissioner Harpootlian amended his motion to replace the roof must be muted, with the roof must have a reflectivity value of forty percent or less. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Abraham.
