Staff Report to the Planning Commission
RE: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A NEW RESIDENCE TO REPLACE A FIRE
DAMAGED RESIDENCE; LANDS OF DANAHER; 13700 WILDFLOWER LANE; FILE
#111-98-ZP-SD-GD.
FROM: Suzanne Davis, Associate Planner SO
APPROVED BY: Curtis S. Williams, Planning Dire t�or1
RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission:
Approve the requested site development permit as submitted, subject to the recommended
conditions in Attachment 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Wildflower Lane and Wildcrest Drive.
The gross lot area of 1.62 acres is reduced to 1.27 acres due to exclusion of right-of-way. A fire
occurred on February 1, 1998, destroying most of the existing residence on the property. The
destroyed building has not been removed due to a pending arson investigation. The shell of the
fire damaged house, attached garage, and a detached storage building will be demolished prior to
construction of the new residence. The pool and decking will remain on the property. The
existing floor and development area exceeds what is allowed for the property based on current
slope density calculations. The house, pool and other improvements on the site were all
constructed with Town approval and permits. Surrounding properties are all developed with
single-family residences.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
As required by Section 10-2.301 of the Site Development Ordinance, this application for a new
residence has been forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Criteria for
review from the Site Development Ordinance include grading, drainage, building siting,
pathways, landscape screening and outdoor lighting. Zoning Code review encompasses
compliance with floor and development area requirements, setbacks, height and parking.

*Existing house,garage,accessory building and some hardscape to be demolished.
Site and Architecture
The applicants are requesting approval of a site development permit to construct a new 4,238
square foot residence with a 764 square foot attached garage. Most of the existing development
including the remainder of the fire damaged residence, attached garage, accessory storage
building and some hardscape will be demolished. The pool and decking and retaining walls
behind the house will remain.
Exterior materials would consist of wood shingle siding, wood windows, doors and trim, and
dark brown metal roofing. The maximum height of the main roof ridge would be just under 27
feet as measured from the building pad. The roof curves down from this high point so the bulk
of it would be lower than 27 feet. The height as measured from the lowest to highest point would
be 31 feet. The proposed materials will help blend the house into the site. Having no stucco
elements and using mostly wood will also help reduce bulk and mass. The use of a metal roof
may be of concern to the Commission. The project architects will have a sample of the proposed
roofing at the meeting. The use of a dark brown color is consistent with the Town's color policy,
and provided that the material is not highly reflective, staff does not have any concerns about the
metal roofing. There is also a model of the proposed residence that will be available for review
in the Council Chambers prior to the meeting. The model will also be available at the
Commission meeting.
The architectural style, while different than that of the old house, and the exterior colors and
materials will help the house fit the site. Mature vegetation on the property would help screen
the property from most off-site views. The new residence has been located in about the same
place as the existing house, although the building footprint is smaller. Story poles have been
placed on the site for the Commission's review.
Planning Commission
July 22, 1998
Lands of Danaher
Page 3
The plans would reduce the overall floor and development area on the site so that they are in
conformance with the maximums allowed for the property. Some additional development area
may be added once the outdoor areas are better defined .land a final landscape plan is developed.
However, the result would still be a significant reduction in the development area on the site and
an improvement in a nonconforming situation. The proposed floor area will be less than the
allowable, and will eliminate a nonconforming situation.' Staff has included a condition requiring
a disclosure statement to be recorded that states that the1floor area and development area are the
maximums allowed by the Town (condition#10).
Driveway and Parking
The existing driveway will be retained, with changes being made for the approach to the garage.
A parking bay will be added off the driveway to accommodate a fourth parking space that is not
within setbacks. The three garage spaces combinecq with the parking bay space meet the
requirement for four on-site parking spaces.
Trees &Landscaping
The existing landscaping on the site includes mature trees that provide good screening at the rear
of the property. There are views of the house from Wildcrest Drive and from neighboring
properties, although the planting does break up the view of the existing house. The proposed
exterior materials will help the house blend into its surroundings, and all of the mature trees will
be saved. The need for additional landscaping can be assessed once the new house is framed,
and a landscape plan will be reviewed if any planting is needed for screening, erosion control or
to restore areas disturbed during construction. The Environmental Design & Protection
Committee commented that the existing landscaping should be retained, which the owners intend
to do. Condition #9 includes a requirement for fencing at the driplines of those trees potentially
impacted by construction activities.
Outdoor Lighting
Proposed exterior lighting is shown on sheets A1.1 and A1.2 of the development plans. One
light is indicated at each exit with two at the front entry and three at the garage. There are also
some down lights to be placed within trellises and over a deck. The recessed lights on the east
side of the house and the down lights on the west side are not all essential. These lights are all
down directed, however, the total number could be reduced in these areas. If the Commission
would like any lights deleted from the plan, condition #7 should be modified to require this. Any
decorative fixtures that would be visible from off the site will be required to be down shielded or
to have translucent glass so that the light source cannot be seen.

Grading &Drainage
The Engineering Department has reviewed the grading and drainage plan, and has recommended
conditions of approval included in Attachment 1. Proposed grading is 129 cubic yards of cut and
67 cubic yards of fill. Some minor re-contouring is being done at the front of the house and top
of the driveway. The new residence has been located on the same building pad as the old house.
Site drainage will be directed from a series of catch basins at the back of the house and garage
toward Wildflower Lane. One energy dissipater will be installed to slow the water at its release
point and prevent erosion. The rest of the drainage will be sheet flow as the property slopes
down toward Wildflower Lane. The property already has sanitary sewer service and the new
house will be connected to the sewer prior to final inspection. The final drainage and grading
will be inspected by the Engineering Department, and any deficiencies will be required to be
corrected prior to final inspection.
Geotechnical Review
The Town's geotechnical consultant, Cotton, Shires & Associates, has reviewed the plans and
geotechnical report and has visited the site. The Town Geologist has recommended approval of
the project with two conditions (see Attachment 2). Condition #11 includes the
recommendations of the Town Geologist.
Fire Department Review
The Santa Clara County Fire Department conducted a flow test on the closest hydrant and
determined that the water flow is not adequate for a home of the proposed size, and a fire
sprinkler system or new hydrant will be required. The Fire Department also requested that the
property address be placed in a location that is clearly visible from the street and that if a fire
sprinkler system is not installed, an adequate turnaround be provided since portions of the
residence are more than 150 feet from an accessible travel path (see Attachment 3). The Fire
Department recommendations have been included as conditions of approval.
Committee Review
The Environmental Design & Protection Committee comments were discussed in the landscape
section of this report (see Attachment 4).
The Pathways Committee is requesting that a Type IIB path be constructed along Wildflower
Lane, and that a pathway easement be granted if necessary (see Attachment 5). Due to the slope,
it may be necessary to have part of the path on the property rather than within the right-of-way.
The path would need to be staked and approved by the Engineering Department and if necessary,
a pathway easement would need to be granted. Condition #20 requires the path to be installed
and the driveway to be roughened where it crosses the path, prior to final inspection. If a
Planning Commission i
July 22, 1998
Lands of Danaher
Page 5
pathway easement is needed, it would be required to be granted prior to issuance of any building
permits.
Staff is available to answer any questions that the Commission or the public may have.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Geologic and Geotechnical Review
RE: Danaher,Fire Replacement-New Residence
File #111-98-ZP-SD-GD
13700 Wildflower Lane -
At your request, we have completed a preliminary geologic and geotechnical review
of the subject property using:
• Soil Investigation on Lands of Hawley, prepared by Terrasearch for
Paul E. Nowak and Assoc., dated May 18, 1977.
• Geotechnical Update and Supplemental Recommendations (letter)
prepared by Terrasearch, dated May 5, 1998.
• Engineering Plans (2 sheets,20-scale) prepared by TS Civil Engineering,
dated May 27, 1998, and
• Architectural Plans (9 sheets) prepared by Thompson Studio
Architects, dated May 20, 1998.
In addition, we have reviewed pertinent (documents from our office files and
completed a site reconnaissance. •
DISCUSSION •
Our review of the referenced documents indicates that the applicant is proposing to
replace an existing fire damaged residence. The swimming pool,and the lower section of the
concrete driveway, are to remain. Our review addresses the geotechnical feasibility of the
project development plan and the adequacy of submitted geotechnical design criteria.

SITE CONDITIONS
The lot has been previously graded and is characterized by cut and fill areas forming
the building pad for the existing fire damaged residence, driveway, and swimming pool on
the western half of the lot. A moderately steep (18 percent inclination), east-facing slope is
present on the eastern half of the lot. Steep (47 percent inclination), cut and fill slopes are
located in the vicinity of the existing residence. Site drainage is characterized by sheetflow
to the east, with some runoff collected into a small swale along the southern property
boundary. The existing flatwork (concrete driveway and walkways), retaining walls, and
foundation of the existing residence do not show signs of significant distress.
The Town Geologic Map indicates that the house site is underlain, at depth, by
bedrock materials of the Santa Clara Formation (conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and
claystone). The bedrock is in turn overlain by clayey sand to silty clay (potentially
expansive soil,colluvium, alluvium, and artificial fill). No direct exposure of bedrock was
observed on the subject property.The mapped traces of the potentially active Monta Vista
fault and the active San Andreas fault are 2,000 feet northeast and 3.5 miles southwest,
respectively,from the subject property.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION
The proposed development is constrained by potential soil creep, expansive soils,
and the susceptibility of the site to strong seismic ground shaking. It appears that moderate
grading operations will be performed to construct the new residence. We understand that
site drainage design will be addressed to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer.
The basic site development plan appears geotechnically feasible and we have no
geotechnical objections to the proposed development plan. Prior to issuance of permits for
construction,the Project Geotechnical Consultant should review all geotechnical aspects of
building plans including specific evaluation of the design and placement of the proposed
swimming pool, foundation, cut and fill, and drainage alterations. Consequently, we
recommend geotechnical approval of permits for project construction with the following
conditions:
1. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical
consultant should characterize anticipated peak and repeatable
seismic ground motion in percent gravity for consideration by the
project structural engineer. The current standard-of-care design
for foundation piers within the Town with similar soil conditions
is a minimum 16-inch diameter pier reinforced with a minimum of
four#5 vertical rebars. These standards should be considered by
the consultant. The applicant's geotechnical consultant shall
review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the development
plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site drainage
improvements and design parameters for the foundation, retaining
walls, and swimming pool) to ensure that their recommendations
have been properly incorporated.
COTTON, SHIRES & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Suzanne Davis i July 8, 1998
Page 3 L3118
The results of the plan review should be summarized by the
Project Geotechnical Consultant in a letter and submitted to the
Town Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of
building permits.
2. Geotechnical Field Inspection -The geotechnical consultant shall
inspect, test (as needed), and approVe all geotechnical aspects of
the project construction. The inspections should include, but not
necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site
surface and subsurface drainage impirovements, and excavations
for foundations and retaining,walls prior to the placement of steel
and concrete. The consultant shall verify that new fill materials, if
any, are properly compacted, keyed and benched where
appropriate into competent earth materials.
The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the
project shall be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter
and submitted to the Town Engineer for review prior to final (as-
built) project approval.
This review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the Town 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.
