Commissioner Gottlieb stepped down for the hearing due to the proximity of the
project to her residence. Letters had been received from three neighbors, Bormann,
Gilds, and Van Dyke noting concerns with the proposed two story structure. The
applicants and their architect held,a meeting with the neighbors,prior to the Planning
Commission meeting, to discussthe changes made to the plans.

OPENED PUBL C HEARING .
Ron Harris, 1009[1 Streeter Ro d,Auburn, architect,_discussed the'changes that were
made from the previous plan hich included: reduced pavement;increased landscape;
reduction of the ulk and mas ;reducing the overall height of the residence by 1 foot;
relocating the house towards t e northwest property line to move the driveway further
from the southeaist property lie;reduced the number ar d'area of windows along the
rear elevation of the house by 0%;reduced the number of skylights by half;included
proposed outdoor lighting;re- onfigured the circular driveway to create a safer
entrance and egress from the roperty;increased the roof overhangs of the second floor
rear wall; and sh wed.the loca 'on of the pool equipment. He commented on the partial
two story being the back,gi ing the appearance of a one story from the front. At the
meeting with they neighbors, ey discussed the possibilities of a single story residence
or a floor under eath,explain g why they have retained the partial second story.
Commissioner Schreiner was .ncerned that even_though they have reduced the mass
and bulk on one ide of the ho se,they have only accomplished a 1 foot reduction in
the overall heightasking if it as possible to bring it down to 24 feet. Mr. Harris
responded,if ' was a conce ,they could clip some of the ceilings or rework some of
the upstairs area to lower the r dge height to get down to 24 feet. Commissioner
Schreiner asked if it was neces ary to have the gazebo ata 17 foot height,if all the
driveway pavement was neces.ary on the right side of the house, and if all the proposed
lights were necess�ary? Mr. Ha ris felt they could lower thepitch to reduce the height a
few feet;they col..ld round out the parking area so it would only be a turn around area;
and he had not provided a sa ple of the lights proposed however none are flood lights
and all will be d(:i
wn shielded. Also,there will not be any lights in the skylights. He
noted that the ga es and pool e•uipment will be included in the landscaping plan.
Bob Worcester,24221 Hillview Drive,reviewed the new plans noting little change from
the previous planks as the proje t is still a two story on a knoll. Code requires that no
two story house is built on a oll or a ridge. The present house is a low profile,flat
roof house. A single story co d easily be built which would maintain the rural
atmosphere.
Jan Farnsworth,24220 Hillvie Road,neighbor was concerned with looking up or at an
imposing struc le. There are o other two story houses in the neighborhood. The
architecture does not fit into tit- neighborhood. She suggested a redesign that would
eliminate the tw story ata m', 'mum and a redesign of Lie very imposing covered
driveway and portico in the fr.nt of the building.
Bonnie Gilds, 12415 Hilltop Dr ve,was concerned with the large, two story home on top
of the hill. Other homes in the .rea are one story,nestled into the site. Currently, there
are one story,ranch homes in t e area and this home will change the character of the
neighborhood. •

CLOSED PUBLIC TESTIMONY
Commissioner Finn agreedthat:a 26 foot housewas out of character for the
neighborhood. The outdoor lighting should be at a minimum. There is a need for
significant landscaping requiring trees. He agreed with Commissioner Schreiner's
previous comment regarding the parking area.
Commissioner Doran.commented that the previous discussion dealt with a one story
element. However,the one story element can be up to 27 feet. If they look at a one
story element,they should impose a height limitation on the structure. She also
discussed lights on a hillside property.
Commissioner Cheng agreed with the comments from both Commissioners. Since the
neighborhood is low profile,this house should be a maximum of 23-24 feet in height
whether it is a one or a two story. f
Commissioner Schreiner commented on diversity in styles encouraged in Town. The.
Town will not stay ranch or bungalow style!orever. They need to try to integrate the
old with the new with the least amount of impact on the neighbors. She did not agreed
that if a two story comes down to 23-24 feet it would be desirable as you still have two
sets of windows. The two sets of windows at night are going to produce a great deal of
light. She was in favor of one set of windows on a one story house,possibly no more
than 22 feet in height on this property. She would like to see some of the lighting
reduced, and the pavement in one area reduced. She liked the extension of the eaves.
There is a need for significant landscaping and the color of the house is important to
make the house blend into the site. She would prefer a reflective value of 50 or less,in
earthtone colors. She was in favor of a redesign with these points addressed.
•
Commissioner Stutz again discussed the additional parking. It was not whether they
needed the additional parking but parkingwas not allowed in the setback. There are
other areas not in the setback.available. She suggested the six portico lights be reduced
to four;the seven additional recess with down lights from the walkway to the front
door be reduced to four;the reconfiguration of the circular driveway was not mirrored
on the left side as requested;and the entrance to the driveway be moved 10-15 feet so it
would be 50 feet from the property line. She did not like to see properties gated. She
suggested heavily.staggered trees and shrubs be planted from the 96 to the 100 foot
contour line for screening. She also noted that the property line as shown on the plan
was incorrect by 5 feet and should be corrected if fencing was planned.
Chairman McMahon agreed with the.comments regarding the number of lights . .
proposed needed to be reduced. She also commented on the ordinance and guidelines
regarding two story structures as they may not be possible on the top of a knoll. This
design does not meet the intent of the ordinance.

Commissioner Doran asked the applicant if they were willing to redesign to a one story
home not to exceed 22 feet. Mr. Harris noted that at the last meeting the Commission
did not tell him toy reduce the d sign to a one story. He did not feel they could design a
22 or 23 foot two tory house. i ey'would be willing to reduce the two story to 24 feet
and remove the portico. Co 'ssioner Stutz would not vote for a two story house in
this location. The location is id:al for a flat roof house.. Commissioner Doran suggested
a one story house with some cr•ativity to working with the contours of the land that
would show a two story eleme t but not from the street. The applicant preferred not to
redesign at this time.
MOTION SECONDED AND P ' SSED: Motion by Commissioner Doran and seconded.

4.2 LANDS OF HWONG, 1 13 Clausen Court(105-95-ZP-SD); A request for a Site
Development Permit for = sports court.
Staff had nothing further to ad• to the staff report. Commissioner Gottlieb questioned
the site plan showy g`the leng of the sports court being 100 feet,however the cross
section on the next page shows teat 102 feet. Mr.Williams noted that the calculations
were based on 100 feet.`If the p oject is approved as shown,thiswouldneed to be
corrected. Discussion ensued r:garding the height of the retaining wall;rounding the
slope of the lawn area;the chai link fence on top of the retaining"wall for a total height
of 13-14 feet;the Town fence or U'nance;and the fence as shown on the right side of the
property. Ms. Kolf noted the o e corner of the fence that is encroaching into the slope
easement should be moved to t e line of the slope easement(back to the 318 elevation).
This could be added as a condit on of approval. She commented on the use of a slope
easement and acc ass by the.To n for specific purposes.
OPENED PUBLIC HEARING
Larry Hwong, 12813 Clausen C C.urt, applicant, discussed the 3,000 square foot sports
court and play area. He discuss-d the retaining wall in the front area being 2-3 feet in
height,not 4 feet ii height.' He id not want the lawnarea toocontoured as his children •
needed an area to play. In dis ssing the lights,he mentioned the lights were put in for
safety beforehebought the hou.e`(condition#6). Mr. Hwong indicated that he had
read the letter froT his neighbo s,the Jabbours.

Items discussed included re-contouring within the 10 foot slope easement;the slope
easement being. 25feetalong Clausen Court;'staff's concern with the abruptness at the
corner between the sports court and the house;the visualappearance of the retaining
wall;the lack of story poles for better visual appearance;the appearance of a 20722 foot
wall enclosed on three sides from the corner of Clausen Court;a more pleasing
appearance beinga`3 foot retaining wall plus the tennis fence up to 10 feet, 10 feet back
from the•30 feet=giving more of:a distance for planting of small and larger shrubs,to ,
mitigate appearance;a step down effect;and the overall visual effect of the subdivision.
Commissioner Stutz could vote for the 3,000 square foot sports court but not,for the 15
feet along side at the same elevation. She did not want to see the upper portion of the
land graded down to the sports court,suggesting lowering the court by two feet which
would also reduce the trellis. There was a consensus to cut off the front wall at the 30
foot section of the sports court rounding back from the end of the chain link fence,
keeping its natural slope or terraced up at the lawn area up to the sports court (from
house to court). There was a consensus that the project did not have to return;to
provide story poles for a visual review. Condition#8 was discussed noting they would
not require the applicant to remove the pool for deck as.it was an existing situation when
the applicant purchased the:property. Further discussion ensued regarding the
remaining conditions of approval. Mr.Williams feltstaff and the applicant could work
together regarding the lights.
Mr. Hwong noted that he was willing to.conlpromise,however he would like a flat
lawn area for his children.
MOTION SECONDED AND PASSED: Motion by Commissioner.Doran and seconded
by Commissioner Gottlieb to approve the site development permit for a sports court,
retaining walls,andassociated grading with revisions to the plan to include: (1)
reducing the grade of the sports court by two feet; (2).create a more natural slope for the
lawnarea-between the house and the sports court; (3).limit the retainingwall along the
Clausen Court frontage such thatit does not extend beyond the edge of the sports court;
(4)limit the trellis height to 95 feet; (5) limit the fence height to 8 feet; (6) utilize a
retaining wall at the rear of the:sports court to retain the natural,slope at the rear of the
lot;and (7)relocate fencing out.of the slope easement; condition#8, certification of the
rear area but'not require removal of any structures; and the lighting to be handled at:

4.3 LANDS OF GARCES, 6101 Elena Road (253-93-ZP-SD); A request for a Site
Development Permit f•r a majoraddition/remodel;pool and spa, and pool cover
structure.
Staff had nothing further to a•d to the staff report.. Staff,has been working with the
applicant since 1993 noting m:ny delays. Commissioner Stutz questioned the pool
equipment enclosure being c•unted as floor area: Staff will review.and correct,if
necessary,as this was include• in the worksheets from the applicant. Commissioner
Stutz suggested removal of th- roofing if pool equipment is ever needed to be counted
as floor area. It was not kno n if the patio was put in with permits.
OPENED PUBLIC HEARING
Raymond Miller,225 Frances D rive,Los Altos,architect,commented that the applicant
would prefer to paint the add tion the same as the existing color. He clarified condition
#13, the last senence "all fill t at was placed on the site without a permit shall be
removed and the grades retur edto the natural grades prior to final inspection"
commenting that the fill was laced there illegally. They plan taking 10 feet back from
the property line reverting it •ack to natural grade,and 'sloping back up: This is
something he arid the assista engineer had agreed upon,however it is not reflected in
the conditions 4 approval. Is. Kolf felt it would be better to hear all of the discussion
first and then return to discus. of condition#13.
Lisa Douglas, 12469 Robleda, •roperty backing up to the applicant's property. She
discussed problems they hay- experienced with the illegal grading. When they first
moved to Los Altos Hills in 1.89,the back property that adjoins their property was
gently sloped wth no major •.tios. In the last 5-6 years,they have two major patios,
one of which th Garces'plan o locate a swimming pool. Just this year,the Garces have
been doing maj r grading,ag.in without permits. The applicant has raised their second
level of land ov 6 feet. Allo the dirt they have moved from their property and/or
had trucked in o the weeken•s was now higher then their 6 foot high fence.
Consequently, the dirt came di wn onto their property,into their'pool, and underneath
their house during the winter.torms. There is'also a problem with drainage and
sewage from the applicant's 1-ach lines coming onto theme property. Everything the
applicant does ' pacts Mrs. i ouglas' property. Now the Town is considering allowing
them to develop further. The :pplicants had spent over ayear digging out the lower
area of the hous without per its. This is a concern in the event of an earthquake as the
property would slide onto the r property . Now they are proposing a soccer field which
would be 6 feet above their la d.. The applicant is not correcting any of the illegal
situations. She requested that all of the grading on the second patio be removed,the
water and the le ch field prob ems be resolved, and she would not want to look up at

any structure which would enclose the applicant's pool._The area which will impact
them the most is the secondsetofpatios which runs the whole width of the property.
'l
Michael Douglas, 12469 Robleda,reiterated Mrs. Douglas' comments asking that the
illegal situations be corrected. He also noted that Mr. Garces moved trees fromthe top
patio down which are all dead. He felt he was living next door to a cemetery.
Ms. Kolf reported two years ago,the Town was in the process of dealing with the
applicants regarding illegal grading situations where Bill Carino had gone out for a
"stop work" order. Presently,they do not have a real clear idea of what has been done
on this property. She felt theycould benefitfrom the'Douglas'. Being next door,they.
would probably have the clearest picture of'the'grading that has been done. The exact
areas or the exact volumes of grading that has been done is not known. Commissioner
Gottlieb asked,if the pool area has been built up-6 feet,do they have a soils report
indicating that the compaction is correct and will hold a pool? Ms. Kolf felt the architect
could answer this question..
Tom Griffiths,pathway committee,noted ari error to condition#16..He requested the
IIB path remain in the front and restore the nature path in the back between the.two _
chain link fences (between Robleda and La Barranca along I-280),being aware of
drainage.
CLOSED PUBLIC TESTIMONY
Commissioner Doran commented due to the controversy with the neighbors and the
lack of information,she would have serious reservations making,any decisions
regarding the application for the addition until they have more information. They need:,
more..information on what is existing fill,the leach filed, and what are the legal and
illegal structures on the property. She suggested the application come backafter more -
information is known. Mr. Miller addressed the existing,inadequate leach field,the
proposed leach field,amount of cut and fill on site,illegal grading,import,and
compaction.
Mr. Williams recommended that the applicant have an engineer or geotechnical
engineer prepare some information that shows the extent of the fill and cuts and
identifies the remedial plan to correct the situation. The Town geologist can then
review all the information before proceeding. Commissioner Gottlieb;felt.the Douglas'
drainage problems should also be addressed. Mr. Miller discussed some possible
drainage designs. •
MOTION SECONDED AND PASSED: Motion by Commissioner Doran and seconded
by Commissioner Finn to continue the site development permit for a major,

4.4 LANDS O HAMM,:242 2 Elise Court(71-95-ZP-SD-GD); A request for a Site
Development Permit for new residence. _
Mr. Williams introduced this it m noting hehad received several calls from
Commissioners asl
king if_a por ' n of the basement area or all of it should be counted as
square footage as ome of the all area is exposed. This is a major issue to be discussed..
Commissioner Cheng comment d on the location of the encroachment being moved
around which wash not familiar o her. Mr.Williams noted that it was not expressly
prohibited. The Zoning Ordina ce,Section 10-1.401_was discussed noting that there
was a sub-commitee reviewing this subject presently. He would not want to trap the
a licant in a nononformin is ue when there is a process goingon reviewingthis
PP g P
whole subject.
Commissioner Doran noted eve though the staff has po ted out all the similar
projects which hayys e been appro ed,there were an equal number of houses that never
had the opportunity of this info 'nation that were not approved with nonconforming
situations. .
In reviewing the site analysis m-eting,on'May 23, 1995,Commissioner Doran reported
there had been a split decision •f the Commissioners present (McMahon,Schreiner and
Doran) with Dora and Schrein.•r feeling if it was a level playing field,you had to
conform. Chairm n McMahon elt the applicant could move the nonconformity to
another spot. The main topic at that meeting was the nonconformity. Commissioner
Schreiner recollection of the me ting was their concern with the applicant moving the
driveway;not un4erstanding w y.. When it was made clear.that thepercolation for the
leach fields and one area was no adequate;they were the n satisfied with the answer. . .
The garage was not in the same ocation as presented currently and they were not aware .
that the basemen was daylight-d.
OPENED PUBLI HEARING
Stephen Arnn,32 Hill Street,S,n Francisco,architect,provided renderings of the
house. Items discussed were th:• front area incorporating the changes to the driveway;
keeping the profile low;only one flat area'on the property'which does not have a view;
Planning Commission Minutes . DRAFT
July 12, 1995
Page 9
the narrow property; and the lack of space in the front area because of the leach field.
This addresses the reason for thedriveway going as far as it does as he would not want
the Hamms to pave more ground then needed,if it was not necessary. They could not
put the garage underneath the master bedroom and then have the.Hamms carting
groceries to the other end of the house. He further discussed the back area rendering
showing the existing trees with the exception of the 14 inch oak next to the dining room.
He indicated one of the trees whichwas not in good health and could not be used for
screening. He would leave it,planting trees around it to provide screening of-the .
carport from off-site,if needed. Mr. Arnn commented that early in the project,trying to
keep within the guidelines of the Town,understanding that the basement needs tobe
wholly underground with the ceiling wholly under the'existing grade. Onthe front
side,he has provided a stairway down to a UBC required exit. The planter in front of
the basement doors is an attempt to hide the doorway from off-site since this,is.a . -
requirement not to see the egress from off ste. He is only trying to get down to the
doors of the basement. This is only a code entrance. The Commission responded that
they would like the finished grade around the stairs to-be.higher then the ceiling of that
space (internal stair). The Town wants anything related to the basement to be
underground, dirt, above.the.ceiling of anything in the basement..
Mr. Arnn further discussed the encroachment issue..The preliminary sketch was
discussed with staff. The reason that the corner of the living room infringes in the space
between the 30 foot setbacks was discussed. The existing house encroaches 247 feet and
the development area 2,000 feet for a total of a little over 2,200. The new encroachment
ofthe house would be 60.5 feet and development area 69 feet for a total of 169•feet. He
would have a verydifficult time twisting the house to get it out of the encroachment.
Mrs. Davis noted when they met with the applicants a year ago,,the encroachment was
not an issue. When she and Linda Niles met with the previous architect,he was given..
the direction that as long as he did not increase the degree of nonconformity,he could
keep the nonconforming situation. The code does notspecify what you can do with the
nonconformity as long as you do not increase how close they.go,to the setback,or
increase the square footage. The policy appears to be inconsistent. It was noted that the
architect has decreased the nonconformity substantially;:50%floor area.and 90%of
development in an area where they:only have a 27 foot width for the building area.
Mr. Arnn provided colors samples (natural)for_the house which will be in conformance
with the Town color.board: The driveway and'entrance into thegaragewere discussed.
Originally the carport was entered from the left hand side;the driveway followed the 10
foot line all theway around. The concern at that time was for the 30 inch oak and a 19 •
inch oak because of the substantial cut. He tried another approach to the carport to get
an adequate and comfortable turn-around and hide it more from the,next door
neighbors. The arborist was not concernediwith this design. Commissioner Schreiner
noted there was quitea bit of the motor court in the 30 foot setback. Mr. Arnn
commented it was a driveway turnaround which is allowed and needed per the
Planning Commission Minute DRAFT.

engineering department. Co missioner_Gottlieb felt the garage area is this location
would be viewed from off-site Usually they ask that driveways and garagesbeturned
to the side so people viewing t e house from the street will not see the garage area.
Commissioner Doran noted th:t the architect has turned fit around as requested in the
site analysis meeting.
Guy Jinkerson,Environmental Design Committee,was concerned with the change:in ,
the driveway which involves e removal of shrubbery,thelong driveway, and
visibility. This interferes with e natural vegetation.
CLOSED PUBLIC TESTIMO ..•
Commissioner D ran felt this as one of the best designs she has seen in the hills. She
was opposed to a nonconfor ance issue however the applicant was caught in
something that the Town is c rently reviewing. She understands that the applicant is
willing to look a making the b.sement a wholly undergriound.entity._If this is the case
she would be in greement wi ih the rest of the project. Commissioner Stutz agreed.
They have done a beautiful jo. designing the house. She did notfeel they had anything -
to say regardinghe driveway hange as it is required in order to get in a drainfield.
Commissioner Fillnn was impr- sive that they have actually reduced the development
area. Great design. Commissi.ner Schreiner commented on the driveway and the staff
report. Staffs concern was tha a portion of the backup area is on a 30%:slope which is a
serious consideration. She dots not like to see any part of a driveway or an area where
cars will be parkd on this typ. of slope. She requested some type of redesign of that
area or reductio. in that partic lar area as she feels this is unsafe...Regarding the. -
basement, all the are asking i• to comply to the code. Sle liked the design. She would
like them•to confnilhowever,they have gone this far with the understanding that they
could keep some of the nonco ormity. She would not like this to set a precedent.
Commissioner G ttlieb agreed it was a very nice house although she didnot feel a
carport facing the Preserve are; was correct The carport is not in the right area with so
much of the driveway in a 30% slope area. She would prefer not having the
nonconformityanl d would not ike to see any more in the future. Commissioner Cheng
agreed with most of the Co 'ssioners regarding the encroachment being less. She
had no problemith the drive ay-due to.the`constraints of the lot. She does want the
basement changed to a true ba.ement. Chairman McMahon felt it was a remarkable
design;followin the Design e'uidelines;not imposing.. She was happy to see that .
instead of using a"entire encr.achment,they only used a modest.60 square feet. .
I
Mr.Williams felt comfortable t at staff could work with the architect regarding the -
basement. Ifthe a were any of et projectsstaffwas working with'that-would fall into
this nonconformance issue,Co missioner Doran asked that they be advised.
The conditions o approval we r e discussed. Mr. Williams noted the need to add a
condition with the standard language accepting the conservation easement as shown on
Planning Commission Minutes DRAFT
July 12, 1995
Page 11
the plan. He also suggested a condition having an arborist prepare a report making
recommendations for the construction in the area of the oak trees and any other
measures to help protect those trees;one in the parking area and one 10 feet off of the
parking area. Commissioner Stutz suggested if the trees are really in poor condition,
have them removed before construction. Mr Arnn commented on two arborists reports
which suggest the removal of the two Blue Oaks,replacing them with Red Oaks. It was
felt a third report was not necessary.
MOTION SECONDED AND PASSED: Motion by Commissioner Finn and seconded by
Commissioner Doran to approve the site development permit for a new residence
adding to the conditions of approval accepting the conservation easement below the
driveway at the carport;staff working with the applicant to change the access to the
basement so it is in conformance to code.
AYES: Chairman McMahon,Commissioners Stutz,Cheng,Finn&Doran
