SUBJECT: A REQUEST TO MODIFY AN EXISTING CONSERVATION EASEMENT
AGREEMENT TO ALLOW A STORAGE SHED TO ENCROACH WITHIN
THE EASEMENT AND A VARIANCE FOR THE SHED TO BE LOCATED
WITHIN THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE SETBACK; LANDS OF
TAELEMANS;.25550 MOODY ROAD; FILE #96 -13 -VAR
FROM: Nicole Horvitz, Assistant Planner
1� 1.
APPROVED: Debbie Pedro, AICP, Community Development Director 1;)P
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission:
Forward a recommendation to' the City Council to modify the existing conservation easement
agreement to allow.a storage shed to encroach within the conservation easement and approve the
proposed variance for the shed to be located within -the front property line setback based on the
Findings of Approval in Attachment 1 and Conditions of Approval in Attachment 2.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
The request requires Planning. Commission review per Section 10-1.1003 (Variances) of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission must make affirmative findings in order to
approve a variance per Section 10-1.1007 (b). Findings for the setback variance are included in
this report for the Commission's review (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
Site Data:
Net Lot Area: .99 acres
Average Slope: 14.3%
Lot Unit Factor: .89
Floor Area and Development. Area:
Area (sgft) Maximum Existing Proposed Increase Remaining
Development 12,317 7,672 7,796 124 4,521

The .99 acre property is located on the south side of Moody Road. The surrounding uses include
single-family homes on adjacent parcels to the north, east, west, and Town owned open space to
the south.
On October 7, 2003 a new residence with an attached secondary dwelling unit was approved at a
Fast Track hearing. With the approval, the applicant was required to dedicate a conservation
easement.over 50 % of the property encompassing Adobe Creek. In addition a 30' half width

right of way dedication along Moody Road significantly affected the property line setbacks and
available building area on the property.
In January 2013 it came .to the attention of the planning department that a 124 square foot storage
shed had been constructed within the property line setback. After further investigation, it was
determined that the shed was also encroaching within the existing conservation easement. The
property. owner submitted an application in April 2013 requesting a modification to the
conservation easement, agreement to allow a shed within the easement and a request for a
variance for the shed to be located within the property line setbacks.
Conservation Easement
The conservation easement on the property is approximately 22,801 square feet or .52 acres. The
agreement that was adopted by the City Council -on July 15, 2004, does mot allow for - any
structures to be located in the easement.
The section 3a of the,amendedagreement will allow for a 124 square foot storage shed to be
located as shown on the amended plat map (Attachment 4)..
"against the right of Owner to construct any improvements on or within the Property except for
public and private utilities and paths dedicated to the Town and/or an approved septic system,
provide these reserved exceptions shall be consistent with the purposes of maintaining and
preserving the natural or scenic character of the .land and except for a 124 square foot storax
shed as described in .Exhibit B to. this Agreement to be used solely as an accessory structure as
authorized by ,and permitted within a conservation easement by section 9-1.202 of the Los Altos
Hills Municipal Code, subject to any conditions imposed upon the approval of such shed by the
Planning Commission and/or the City Council; "
Variance
In evaluating a variance, the Planning Commission must determine if there are exceptional or
extraordinary physical circumstances on the lot that create a hardship for the applicant to comply
with the established zoning standards.
The property is narrow, shallow, and unique in shape. The previous dedications of the right of
way and conservation easement resulted in a restricted building site with an average width of
42'. There is no feasible location to place the shed except completely within the setbacks. The
shed is screened from offsite by the heavy vegetation along Moody Road and along the sides and
rear of the property (recommended Findings of Approval for the variance are in Attachment 1).

Committee Review
The Environmental .Design and Protection_ Committee reviewed the application on. May 3, 2013
and commented that a variance seems necessary in this case due to the shape and size of the
property; (Attachment 5).
The Open Space Committee reviewed the proposal at their June 20, 2013 meeting and supports
an amendment .to the conservation easement based on the constrained nature and configuration of
the lot (Attachment 6).

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR A SETBACK VARIANCE
LANDS OF TAELEMANS, 25550 MOODY ROAD
File #96 -13 -VAR
1. Because of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict
application of the ordinance is found to deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classifications:
The conservation easement is over 50 % of the property encompassing Adobe Creek. In
addition a 30' half width right of way dedication along Moody Road significantly
affected the property line setbacks and available building area on the property. The
property has an unusual shape and size, because of this, there is no other viable location
to place the storage shed except within the property line setbacks.
2. That upon granting of the Variance, the intent and purpose of the ordinance will -still be
served and the recipient of the Variance will not be granted special privileges not
enjoyed by other surrounding property owners:
The intent and purpose of the ordinance will still be served and the recipient of the
Variance will not be granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property
owners of having a storage shed on the property.
3. That granting the Variance will not be materially detrimental to' the public welfare or
injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate. vicinity and within
the same zoning district..-
Granting
istrict:
Granting the setback Variance for the subject property will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the
immediate vicinity and within the same zoning district. Due to the existing mature
landscape, the shed is not visible from -off site.
4. That the Variance will not allow a use or activity, which is not expressly authorized by
the Zoning Ordinance:
Granting of the setback Variance for the subject property does not allow a use or activity,
which is not expressly authorized by the Zoning Ordinance. Per Section 10-1.702 of the
LAHMC, an accessory structure is a permitted use in the R -A zoning district. The
MDA/MFA on the property supports the structure and the height requirements are met.

4 My lot on Moody road is an exceptionally shallow, rather long '
piece of property that is wedged between Moody Road.and Adobes
Creek. Both the road and the creek run the length of the entire JVWN ®F LOS ALTOS HILLS
property. The lot sits somewhat below the road and is mostly flat-
mindly sloping toward the creek.
According to what I was told, the lot was created before the
incorporation of the Town by diyiding a larger lot into two (the
other part is "the lands of PhyT' as a division to the two Seeba
brothers. I bought the property in 1978 when there was a small
unfinished structure on the property and an old bam that had been
converted into living space. There were also several
garages/workshops.
As time went on, I finished the interior of the small structure and
lived in it.
During `the' years, a large and, expanding redwood tree abutting the
structure, (see pictures) eventually destroyed it and rendered it
virtually uninhabitable. I had been told by the Mcclenahan Tree
Company that there was no way to remove the tree from its
location without destroying the structure first In fact, that is how it
was done in 2005- house first, then tree.
I had to rebuild'my home in 2005: Insurance does not cover this
kind of gradual damage.
As one of the requirements for the receipt of a building permit, I
was required to dedicate (give) one third of an acre to the town of
Los Altos Hills along the road. In addition, I had to grant a
conservation easement over -Adobe Creek of approximately 25
feet beyond the top of the bank to the town- of Los Altos Hills all.
along the length of the property:
As a consequence, my lot size officially went from a little over
60,000 square feet or approximately 1.3 acre to 1.01 acre. The
parcel number was actually changed to reflect this substantial
change in the lot size. In addition, the conservation easement
decreased more useable land on the s_id&of the creek.which
covers the length of the. property.
Email: Print Page 2 of 5
As a result, my actual development area went from 11000 to 7380
- a decrease of 3620 square feet. My actual floor area was also
decreased by almost 400 square feet.
I was also forced to pay for the installation of the exceptionally
long pathway the length of my property fronting Moody road in
addition to the guard rail alongside the path for the entire length of
the property.
Because of the shape of the property, the location on Moody, the
fact that the creek runs through the property, I had so many
expenses to multiple agencies and to the Town that the average
Los Altos Hills resident does not have upon building. My useable
land has also been dramatically reduced just by applying for the
building permit to reconstruct my home.
Currently, my 2005 home is approximately 3300 square feet plus a
small living space above the two car garage. That is it.
This is an exceedingly unusual situation for new construction for
Los Altos Hills- In most cases, new construction increases both
actual floor area and development area.
Because of the existing location, the long, shallow shape of the lot,
the road, the creek and the seizure of useable land by Town
requirements - I have officially less than a half acre of actual,
useable land. Because of the dedication and new setback"
requirements, I hardly have a backyard -just a long strip of
vegetation in front of the creek. The rest of -my property is all along
the road in the front
The tool shed that I built is from a kit - It is a 10 by 12 that was
sent preassembled and placed on site. It is unfinished inside. It
has no water and no electricity and houses outdoor furniture and
seasonal decorative items. (see pictures and info from originating
company). I chose it because it comes with a 10 by 12 roof pitch
( to be more congruent with my home) and the weather resistant
materials come in a finish that is very similar to the exterior of my
stucco house.
While the house is located west of the driveway, the tool shed sits
on the east side of my driveway - a long even more shallow piece
of land that extends to the neighbour to the east. The tool shed
Email: Print Page 3 of 5
was placed on the widest portion- the portion nearest to my
driveway. It is mostly hidden from the road by trees; it is not close
to the road, the creek, or the neighbours.
There are two important reasons why I placed the tool shed where
it is. For many years, people driving down Moody Road have
thrown garbage out of their cars onto my property. Food wrappers,
bottles, and condoms regularly find their way onto my property
east of the driveway. An unknown person continues to throw
plastic bags with feces and urine (human waste) onto the property
east of my driveway as well as at the comer of Moody and Elena.
I originally had the town come and take a look at this in 2006 as
well as the Health Department of Santa Clara County. Even
though this human waste is landing on the dedicated lands, the
town still said that it is my responsibility to clean it.
Since then, I have informed several people at the town that this
continues but I continue to see the evidence at the comer of
Moody and Elena by the stop sign.
Besides the trash and waste,since that poction.of my land is in its
natural state, because winter water is being redirected from across
the street in an underground culvert onto the surface of my land
toward the creek, and because there was no structure on that
portion of land, some people deemed that this land did not belong
to anyone- a sort of "no man's land". This seems to give some
people license to use that land as they please.
At times I have caught people picking the fruit from the fruit trees,
relieving themselves into the creek as well as settling down for the
night in sleeping bags.
Since I erected the tool shed there, the result is that there has
been less dumping on my property east of the driveway. It must be
because that area is now perceived as being occupied, watched
by the owner and not abandoned. I think that land is finally being
considered private property now.
This structure is very important to visually integrate that portion of
land into my property - so that people know it belongs to someone
and perhaps fear repercussions if they abuse it
Email: Print Page 4 of 5
I also need this toolshed for storage. My garage houses two cars
and that is about it. I think it is reasonable that I should be able to
have a tool shed for storage- since my garage and home are very
small by new construction standards in Los Altos Hills.
This variance will cost me $7800 for the application plus another
$2000 for the civil engineer to draw the structure on a map.
I don't think that is very fair that I am charged so much for this
variance and that I continue to be penalized for the shape of the
lot and all the land that the Town took from me upon building - and
yet I pursue the variance because it is extremely important that I
keep it in the location it is for the reasons I mentioned already.
My tool shed does not affect anyone negatively. When people
come into the driveway and see it, I invariably receive postive
comments on how charming it looks where it is- set among the
trees.
. The "findings" ask me to show that I am not receiving any
privileges that others do not receive. When you read the info
above, I hope you will realize that I seem to have many less
privileges than others because of the shape and location of my lot
and the fact that there is a creek on it I was already penalized by
the Town for the location and .shape of the lot when I rebuilt
because of the dedication and easement that the Town required.
I am exceedingly respectful of wildlife and nature myself - never
even put any pesticide on any of the land here since 1978. 1 am
the -first to want to protect nature and animals- that's why I chose
to live here.
Because of the restrictions caused by the shape and location of
the lot, the road and the creek, the fact that the useable land has
been so reduced by dedication and conservation easement, l only
ask that I be granted the privileges that other people seem to have
many more of and that I not be penalized further.
I do need this structure to remain there so that I can deter people
from trashing the land and behaving as though it is theirs to use
and abuse. I am not asking for special privileges.
Email: Print
The granting of the variance could never "be detrimental to the
public welfare or any other use within the immediate vicinity in the
same zoning district'. I have left the land surrounding the tool shed
natural. A tree that died right there and was felled was recycled
and used for the stepping stones on the side of the tool shed. A
bench sits at the endge of the creek to enjoy water that is
perpetual even in summer.
IV. I have no intention of ever using the toolshed other than for a tool
shed. It is not finished inside, it has no water and no electricity and
is not suitable for any other use.
I ask that you allow me to keep it. Please put this in perspective - it
is just a toolshed.
Thank you,

To: Nicole Horvitz
Cc: Nancy Couperus; Welch Sue
Subject: Re: Moody Road Shed
Nicole:
We prefer that a variance be granted to allow the shed in this specific case, as opposed to
modifying easement lines.
Here's the wording from the meeting:
As strongly as the OSC wishes to discourage structures within open space easements or
riparian easements (which is forbidden by LAH ordinances), the shed in the easement at 25550
Moody -Road; -appears to be a unique situation and is not overly impactful to the easement. Due
to the 'constr`a ned 'nature`and configuration 'of`the"lot;" the OSC-Would'not object to granting`" -
a variance for the existing shed -in the-open-space/riparian easement on this property. The
vote was unanimously in favor.
Open Space Committee meeting, June 20, 2013
Cheer -s,,
Roger
