SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: October 30, 2025
B. Planning Commission:

On June 25, 2025, the Planning Commission received the staff report, the applicant’s presentation, and public comments on the proposed project (Attachments 4 through 6).

Two separate motions were made on the two applications. For the Zone Change application, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Town Council.

The Architecture and Site application was also brought before the Planning Commission due to concerns with neighborhood compatibility. At the time of the June 25, 2025, Planning Commission hearing, the proposed residence would have resulted in the first two-story home, the largest residence in terms of square footage by 1,237 square feet, and the largest residence in terms of FAR in the immediate neighborhood. The Consulting Architect’s primary concerns were with size and massing compatibility of the proposed residence, but also provided nine specific design recommendations, in which the application addressed seven and provided justification for the other two. A detailed analysis of neighborhood compatibility and the Consulting Architect’s review is provided in the June 25, 2025, Planning Commission staff report in Attachment 4
For the Architecture and Site application for the new residence and associated site grading, the Planning Commission voted (4-2) to recommend approval to the Town Council with the incorporation of recommended design modifications (Condition of Approval 3 in Attachment 2, Exhibit A). Specifically, the Planning Commission’s motion included the following (Attachment 6):
 Incorporate a five-foot second-floor setback along the Capri Drive elevation, consistent with Residential Design Guideline 3.3.2;
 Reduce the master bedroom window size (as offered by the applicant during the hearing when discussing neighbor concerns);
 Recess the master bedroom wall (as offered by the applicant during the hearing); and  Incorporate planting screening on the southern side of the home (as offered by the applicant during the hearing).

Following the June 25, 2025, Planning Commission hearing and in consultation with the Town Attorney, it was determined that the Zone Change application did not receive proper public notification pursuant to Government Code Section 65854. Therefore, the Zone Change application was brought back before the Planning Commission, with the proper noticing, on September 10, 2025. The Planning Commission again voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Zone Change application to the Town Council (Attachments 7 and 8).

DATE: October 30, 2025
C. Plan Revisions:

In response to the Planning Commission’s motion on the Architecture and Site application, the applicant provided revised project plans to incorporate each of the recommended design modifications (Attachments 9 and 10). The updated project plans in Attachment 9 show the following changes:
 The second-floor elevation facing Capri Drive has been setback five feet from the firstfloor wall below;  The master bedroom windows have been reduced from three windows (approximately 48 square feet) to two windows (approximately 28 square feet);  The master bedroom wall pop-out has been recessed one-foot to be flush with the rest of this wall; and
 Six new privacy screen trees are now proposed on the southern side of the home.

As a result of these design changes, the proposed home was reduced by 338 square feet (from 3,511 square feet to 3,171 square feet). The home would no longer have the largest FAR in the immediate neighborhood with this change, but would still be the largest in terms of house floor area by 897 square feet. This size and massing reduction further addresses the Consulting Architect’s primary concern that the proposed house would be considerably larger than the other homes in the immediate neighborhood.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

Story poles and signage were installed on the site, and a written notice was sent to property owners and tenants located within 300 feet of the subject property. Project signs were updated following the Planning Commission hearing dates to show the Town Council hearing date and time. At the time of publication of this report, no additional public comments were received beyond what was provided to the Planning Commission.

CONCLUSION:

The applicant requests approval of an Architecture and Site application to demolish the existing residence and construct a new, two-story single-family residence and associated site grading, and a Zone Change application to change the property zoning from O (Office) to R-1:8 (SingleFamily Residential, minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet) to match the existing and proposed use and underlining General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential. As detailed above, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Zone Change to Town Council and voted (4-2) to recommend approval of the Architecture and Site application to Town Council with the incorporation of design revisions. The applicant has provided updated project plans in Attachment 9, which address the Planning Commission design recommendations.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Town Council take the following actions:

1. Introduce the Ordinance effecting the Zone Change (Attachment 2);

2. Adopt the Resolution making the required findings and considerations to approve the Architecture and Site application (Attachment 3); and

3. Approve Zone Change application Z-23-005 to introduce the Zone Change Ordinance (Attachment 2), approve Architecture and Site application S-24-043 inclusive of the recommended Conditions of Approval included as Exhibit A of Attachment 3, and the development plans included as Exhibit 11 of Attachment 4, and the revised architectural plans included in Attachment 9.

ALTERNATIVES:

Alternatively, the Council can:

1. Approve the applications with additional and/or modified conditions; or

2. Continue the matter to a date certain with specific direction; or

3. Deny the applications and make the required findings for denial.

COORDINATION:

This report was coordinated with the offices of the Town Manager and Town Attorney.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This is a project as defined under CEQA but is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15303:

New Construction (Architecture and Site application) and Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exemption (Zone Change application). No significant effect on the environment will occur since new construction activities are categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA and since the zone change activity simply proposes to change the zoning classification of a property to be consistent with the underlining General Plan Land Use Designation. An optional Notice of Exemption will not be filed.

PAGE 3 OF 11
SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: June 20, 2025
BACKGROUND:

The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Capri Drive and Vasona Avenue (Exhibit 1). The 13,092-square foot lot is zoned O (Office) and is currently developed with a 1,128-square foot single-family residence and a detached, 1,150-square foot, two-story structure which includes two permitted Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), one on each floor.

The applicant submitted an Architecture and Site application to demolish the existing residence and construct a new, two-story single-family residence and associated site grading, and a Zone Change application to change the property zoning from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) to match the existing and proposed use and underlining General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential.

The existing residence was built in 1940 and therefore was considered historic per Town Code as it was built prior to 1941. In 2023, the applicant submitted for Historic Preservation Committee review to remove the pre-1941 property from the Historic Resources Inventory. On June 28, 2023, the Historic Preservation Committee approved the request. The existing ADUs were permitted in 1989 and are allowed to remain.

The proposed project requests a zone change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) and therefore requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission with a final decision being made by the Town Council. Additionally, the proposed residence would result in the first two-story home, largest residence in terms of square footage by 1,237 square feet, and largest residence in terms of FAR in the immediate neighborhood. The applicant also has not addressed all of the Consulting Architect’s recommendations. Therefore, the application requires Planning Commission consideration, with the final decision on both the Architecture and Site and Zone Change applications being made by the Town Council.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A. Location and Surrounding Neighborhood
The subject property is 13,092 square feet, located at the southwest corner of Capri Drive and Vasona Avenue (Exhibit 1). The property is currently developed with a 1,128-square foot single-family residence and a detached, 1,150-square foot, two-story structure including two permitted ADUs. Single-family residential development surrounds the property with a commercial use located across Capri Drive, east of the subject site.

B. Project Summary
The applicant proposes construction of a new two-story residence with site improvements requiring a Grading Permit, and a zone change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) (Exhibit 4).

SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: June 20, 2025
C. Zoning Compliance
A single-family residence is a permitted use in the R-1:8 zone. The proposed residence, with approval of the zone change, is in compliance with the maximum allowable floor area, building height, setbacks, lot coverage, and on-site parking requirements for the property, applicable to the R-1:8 zone.

DISCUSSION:

A. Architecture and Site Analysis
Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.40.075, the maximum allowable square footage for the 13,092-square foot property is 3,731 square feet for a residence and 1,012 square feet for a garage. The applicant proposes demolition of the existing single-family residence and construction of a new 3,511-square foot two-story residence with a 498-square foot attached garage (Exhibit 11).

The existing two-story, 1,150-square foot structure containing the two existing ADUs would remain. Although the ADUs are not being reviewed with this application as they are existing and were previously approved, the overall maximum allowable square footage is a part of the Architecture and Site review process. Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.10.320(d)(1), ADUs are allowed a ten percent increase in the floor area ratio standards. The 13,092- square foot property receives an extra 1,200 square feet for an ADU, and the existing ADU structures are below this additional allowance at 1,150 square feet.

A summary of the floor area for the existing and proposed residence is included in the table below.

The applicant provided a Letter of Justification summarizing the project (Exhibit 5), photographs of the existing site (Sheet G003, Exhibit 11), and Development Plans (Exhibit 11).

B. Building Design
The proposed residence would be two-stories and of Spanish Mediterranean style. The residence would be approximately 27 feet in height when the maximum of the zone is 30 feet. The existing ADU structure to remain has no distinguishable architectural style, is approximately 20 feet tall, and would be located 10 feet west of the proposed new residence.

Proposed exterior materials for the new residence include: a clay tile roof; stucco siding with painted redwood fascia boards and projecting trim; black aluminum gutters; Andersen 400 Series vinyl-clad wood windows; Spanish style garage door with stained wood finish; and wrought iron railing and window décor (Sheet A200, Exhibit 11). The front door would be oriented along Capri Drive, with the garage and vehicular access along Vasona Avenue.

Covered patios are proposed on the ground floor along each street frontage, and secondstory balconies are proposed along each street frontage, limiting the presence of privacy concerns as the balconies overlook the street.

The Town’s Consulting Architect reviewed the proposed residence in November 2023 and noted that the property is located in an older neighborhood of mostly one-story traditional homes along with an adjacent two-story ADU and one nearby home with a partial second story (Exhibit 6). In the Issues and Concerns Section of the report, the Consulting Architect notes that the proposed house is considerably larger than other homes in the immediate neighborhood and would not be consistent with the following Residential Design Guidelines (RDG):
 2.3.1 – Design two-story houses in predominantly one-story neighborhoods to blend with the smaller homes.
 2.3.2 – Avoid structures with height and bulk at front and side setback lines which are significantly greater than those of the adjacent homes.  3.2.1 – Select an architectural style with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood.  3.3.2 – Height and bulk at front and side setbacks.
 3.3.3 – Provide visual relief for two story walls.
 3.6.2 – Design home entries with sensitivity to the architectural style.  3.6.3 – Design entries with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood.  3.7.1 – Arrange windows in patterns and groupings consistent with the architectural style and surrounding neighborhood.
 3.7.4 – Design the windows with attention to matching the traditional details of the architectural style.

In the Recommendations Section of the report, the Consulting Architect notes that the majority of the issues and concerns are a result of the home size and building mass compared to the surrounding neighborhood and that the applicant should work to reduce

ITEM NO. 11.

PAGE 6 OF 11
SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: June 20, 2025
the size and mass of the proposal. In addition, the Consulting Architect provided nine recommendations for smaller changes to simplify the design and improve the project’s compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The Consulting Architect’s recommendations are provided below, with the applicable RDG section in parenthesis, followed by the applicant’s response in italics. The full response from the applicant is included in Exhibit 7.

1. Lower the second-floor plate height from 10 feet to 9 feet (RDG 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 3.3.2).  This recommendation was incorporated.

2. Simplify the front façade by removing the projecting formal entry (RDG 3.6.2, 3.6.3).  Simplifying the front façade will result in a loss of a focal point and the ‘grand-ness’ when looking from the street side. We believe it is best to keep the projecting formal entry as it ties the façade together. Example neighboring properties with projecting formal entries were provided (Exhibit 7).

3. Provide larger windows on the Family Room front façade for more visual variety (RDG

3.7.1, 3.7.4).
 This recommendation was incorporated.

4. Detail the windows to be more consistent with the proposed architectural style. Two options are possible that are consistent with the style - window frames or frameless windows with deeply recessed windows. Window sashes should be wide enough to be consistent with the style. Vinyl or metal cladding over wood are common modern equivalents to traditional wood windows. If trim is used, soften the color contrast with the house body color (RDG 3.7.4).
 This recommendation was incorporated by softening the window trim color.

5. Add projecting trim to visually separate the floors (RDG 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 3.3.2, 3.3.3).  This recommendation was incorporated.

6. Add trim at the bottom of the projecting bay on the right side elevation and enlarge the size of the supporting corbels. Exposed roof rafter tails were shown in a very limited area: eliminate them or carry them consistently around all eaves (RDG 3.3.3, 3.6.2).  This recommendation was incorporated.

7. Substantially recess the garage door (not related to a referenced RDG).  This recommendation was incorporated with a 12-inch recess.

8. Change the extended roof overhang at the Master Bedroom on the rear elevation to a hip roof (not related to a referenced RDG).
 This cannot be done as it will result in a cricket in between the two hips. In addition, the roof was carefully designed in a way to reduce the amount of ‘pointy’ peaks while keeping the simplicity of the ridge lines (Exhibit 7).

9. Add windows to the garage on the rear façade to break up the current blank wall (not related to a referenced RDG).
 This recommendation was incorporated.

C. Neighborhood Compatibility
The immediate neighborhood contains one-story residences and existing commercial and office uses across Capri Drive. Based on Town and County records, the residences in the immediate neighborhood range in size from 364 square feet to 2,274 square feet. The FARs range from 0.018 to 0.265. Pursuant to Section 29.40.075 of the Town Code, the maximum house FAR for the subject property is 0.285 (3,731 square feet), and the maximum garage FAR is 0.077 (1,012 square feet).

The proposed residence would have a FAR of 0.268 (3,511 square feet). The proposed residence would be the largest in terms of house floor area by 1,237 square feet and the largest in terms of FAR by 0.003. The proposed garage would have a FAR of 0.038 (498 square feet). As noted above, an existing 1,150-square foot ADU structure exists on the site and would remain with the proposal, but it does not impact the FAR comparison.

The proposed residence would comply with the maximum allowed floor area and height for the property; but would be the first two-story home in the immediate neighborhood; would be the tallest home in the immediate neighborhood; and would be the largest home in the immediate neighborhood in terms of both square footage and FAR.

The Residential Design Guidelines states that, in the context of a design’s neighborhood compatibility, “the greatest attention will be given to the immediate neighborhood where nearby homeowners are most likely to be confronted with the new house on a daily basis, and where other residents driving by are most likely to see the new structure in the context of the nearby homes.” The Residential Design Guidelines also include some consideration of the surrounding neighborhood, although less weight is given in the consideration of homes located at a greater distance from a project site. Although each are one property outside of

ITEM NO. 11.

PAGE 8 OF 11
SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: June 20, 2025
the immediate neighborhood, the properties at 589 and 594 Vasona Avenue are each twostories and have larger FARs. 594 Vasona Avenue would be larger in terms of square footage by 422 square feet, and 589 Vasona Avenue would be taller by roughly four inches.

The applicant has provided justification for the home size, mass, and design within their response to the Consulting Architect’s Report in Exhibit 7 (pages 9-11). Additionally, the existing ADU structure on the property is two-stories and is proposed to remain.

D. Grading
The project includes site improvements with cumulative grading quantities exceeding 50 cubic yards, which requires approval of a Grading Permit. The Town’s Parks and Public Works Engineering staff have included a condition of approval requiring submittal and evaluation of a Grading Permit in parallel with the required Building Permits (Exhibit 4).

E. Tree Impacts
There are 12 trees located on the subject property, nine of which are protected trees. No protected trees are proposed for removal, and the only tree proposed for removal (Tree #196) is a fruit tree and is not defined as a protected tree in the Town Code and therefore is not required to obtain a Tree Removal Permit or provide replacement trees. Although not required, the applicant is proposing to plant three 24-inch box olive trees along the rear yard. The recommended conditions of approval include a condition requiring tree protection measures for the protected trees consistent with Section 29.10.1005 of the Town Code (Exhibit 4), as recommended by the Consulting Arborist in Exhibit 8.

F. Parking
Section 29.10.150(c)(1) of the Town Code requires that a single-family residence provide two off-street parking spaces. The proposed project includes an attached two-car garage to meet this requirement.

G. Zone Change Analysis
To facilitate the Architecture and Site application for a new single-family residence, the applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from O to R-1:8. Residential is not a permitted use in the O zone, and residential uses are only allowed in the O zone with a Conditional Use Permit when a part of a mixed-use project. The proposal to demolish and replace the existing single-family residence necessitates this zone change.

The property is zoned O, but has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential, which, “provides for single-family residential properties located on generally level terrain.” The surrounding neighboring properties on the west side of Capri Drive all have a Low Density Residential General Plan Designation and are zoned R-1:8 (Exhibit 1).

ITEM NO. 11.

PAGE 9 OF 11
SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/S-24-043, Z-23-005
DATE: June 20, 2025
The proposed zone change from O to R-1:8 is consistent with both the General Plan and surrounding neighborhood.

The applicant proposes a new single-family residence on a R-1:8 zoned property. Singlefamily residential is a permitted use in the R-1:8 zone. The 13,092-square foot property complies with the 8,000-square foot minimum lot size, as well as the minimum frontage and depth requirements for R-1:8 properties. The proposed new residence would comply with all applicable R-1:8 zoning requirements, including maximum allowable floor area, building height, setbacks, lot coverage, and on-site parking requirements.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

Story poles and signage were installed on the site and written notice was sent to property owners and tenants located within 300 feet of the subject property. At time of publication of this report, no public comments have been received.

CONCLUSION:

A. Summary
The applicant is requesting approval of an Architecture and Site application to demolish an existing single-family residence, construct a new two-story single-family residence, and a Zone Change application for a zone change from O to R-1:8. The proposed zone change is consistent with the underlining General Plan Land Use Designation for the property and is consistent with the zoning of the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed residence is in compliance with the R-1:8 objective standards of the Town Code for allowable floor area, height, setbacks, lot coverage, and on-site parking requirements. The proposed project would result in the first two-story home, largest residence in terms of square footage, by 1,237 square feet, and the largest residence in terms of FAR, by 0.003, in the immediate neighborhood. The project was reviewed by the Town’s Consulting Architect who noted that the proposed house is larger than other homes in the immediate neighborhood and provided recommendations to address the consistency of the project with the Residential Design Guidelines. The applicant responded to the Consulting Architect’s issues and recommendations through design revisions with the exception of meeting two recommendations. It should be noted that by slightly increasing the immediate neighborhood definition, the applicant provided justification for the home size, height, massing, and design in their Letter of Justification and Response to Consulting Architect’s Report (Exhibits 5 and 7). Additionally, the existing ADU on the property is two-stories and is proposed to remain.

To whom may concern,
On behalf of our client, Ravi Kiran Vallamdas and family, we would like to submit a Planning Application for the proposed housing project at 14341 Browns Lane in Los Gatos.

Project Description
The proposed project consists of a two-story single family residence with an attached garage ( a total of 3,511 SF + garage of 498 SF of construction). The site is approximately 13,092 SF and consists of one parcel (APN 406-32-004). The project will replace the existing one-story single family residence (~1,128 SF), while the two-story detached accessory dwelling unit (one on 1st floor and one on 2nd floor) (~1,150 SF) will be remained.

The proposed single family residence has a first floor footprint of 1,637 SF – with an attached two-car garage (498 SF). The second floor of the new residence consists of 1,874 SF and features two private balconies. The new residence features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The proposal also includes a new driveway providing access to the new attached garage and some site & landscape work to enhance the accessibility of the site. The style of the new residence is Spanish Mediterranean.

In addition, the project requests an approval for zone change from Zone O to Zone R-1:8 in order to comply with the rest of the surrounding neighborhood and the general plan.

The project seeks the Town’s approval of Community Development Review.

Mission

In addition, the zoning of the adjacent neighborhood is R-1:8, except for the property facing roughly Northeast which is zone C1. Yet, that property is not really part of the neighborhood as the right of way is facing out towards Winchester Blvd.

Proceeding forward with the zone change from O to R-1:8, which we believed, will be beneficial to the whole area as it matches the surrounding residential neighborhood. We also recognized that the Town of Los Gatos’s general plan land use indicates the area to be Low Density Residential which adds supporting evidence to the zone change. Furthermore, it doesn’t make sense to keep the existing zone (Office) as developing future office space does not conform with the existing residential neighborhood.

With the Town’s approval, this will make it feasible for the property owner’s wishes to construct a future proposed single family residence through Architectural & Site Review after the zone change. The proposed single family residence will replace the existing one-story single family residence, while the two-story detached accessory dwelling unit will remain. The new proposed single residence will enrich the neighborhood and enhance the land value throughout.

Statement – Why The Existing House Can’t Be Remodeled
Initially, this project was subjected to Minor Residential Application per Town of Los Gatos’ requirements for tech demo. However, the project had limited evidence to support the current design features such as massing, height, and floor area due to the constraints of surrounding neighborhood boundary. With the Planner’s guidance, this project was converted from Minor Residential Application to Architectural & Site Review Application to remove the constraints and allow further evidence to support this project’s design features.

RE: 14331 Capri Drive
Dear Ryan:

I reviewed the drawings and evaluated the neighborhood context. My comments and recommendations on the design are as follows:

NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT
The site is located in an older neighborhood of mostly one story traditional homes along with an adjacent two story ADU unit and one nearby home with a partial second story. Photos of the site and its surrounding neighborhood are shown on the following page.

ISSUES AND CONCERNS
The proposed house is considerably larger than other homes in the immediate neighborhood with the sole exception of the immediately adjacent ADU structure on the same parcel. This would not be consistent with the community expectations of the Town’s Residential Design Guidelines. Specific issues include the following:

ITEM NO. 11.
14331 Capri Drive
Design Review Comments
November 22, 2023 Page 5

2.3.1 Design two story houses in predominantly one story neighborhoods to blend with the smaller homes.

Two-story houses may not be appropriate for every neighborhood. For neighborhoods dominated by one-story homes, an effort should be made to limit the house to one-story in height or to accommodated second floor space within the existing roof. If a two-story house is proposed in this type of a neighborhood, the house shall be designed to blend with the smaller homes.

Some techniques include:
• A combination of one and two story masses.
• Roof segments separating the first and second floor facades • Porches with eave height similar to adjacent homes.
• Second floor area contained within the roof form.
• Deep recessed entries, porches and windows.

2.3.2 Avoid structures with height and bulk at front and side setback lines which are significantly greater than those of the adjacent homes

3.2.1 Select an architectural style with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood • Styles with front facade eaves at the first floor level will be easier to adapt to predominantly one story neighborhoods than styles with two story, unbroken front facades

ITEM NO. 11.
14331 Capri Drive
Design Review Comments
November 22, 2023 Page 6

3.3.2 Height and bulk at front and side setbacks
• Avoid eave lines and roof ridge lines that are substantially taller than the adjacent houses. • The design of two story homes constructed adjacent to one story houses should include techniques to minimize their visual impact and provide transitions in scale.

Some techniques include:
- Step down to one story elements near the side setbacks - Provide substantial side setbacks for the entire house - Provide substantial second floor side setbacks
- Use hip roofs at the sides rather than gables

3.3.3 Provide visual relief for two story walls
Some techniques include:
• Belly bands
• Pop outs and bay windows
• Material and color changes
• Chimneys
• Wide overhangs with projecting brackets
• Juliet balconies
• Window boxes and pot shelves
• Landscaped trellises and lattices

3.6.2 Design home entries with sensitivity to the architectural style

3.6.3 Design entries with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood • Avoid large and formal entries unless that is the norm for nearby houses. It is often best to start the design consideration with an entry type (e.g., projecting or under eave porch) that is similar to nearby homes.

3.7.1 Arrange windows in patterns and groupings consistent with the architectural style and surrounding neighborhood • Many architectural styles have individual windows that are grouped into patterns of two, three or more windows. Be conscious of this fact, and organize the windows to complement the style.

3.7.2 Match window types and proportions to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood • Select window types to complement the style of the house. Each architectural style generally has one or two window types that are traditional to the style. Double hung windows, for example, are common features of Victorian and Craftsman Styles while casement windows are seen frequently in Mission and Spanish Eclectic styles.
• Most architectural styles feature windows that have either vertical or square proportions. Avoid horizontal window proportions unless the style (e.g., Modern or Ranch Style) is clearly supportive of that shape. Horizontal groupings of vertical and square windows are one means of providing visual balance to a facade design.
• Limit the number of different window types

3.7.4 Design the windows with attention to matching the traditional details of the architectural style

RECOMMENDATIONS
Many of the concerns regarding the project’s consistency with the Residential Design Guidelines are the result of the home’s proposed floor area and building mass compared to many nearby homes. Potential internal floor area and building mass reductions could involve the elimination or modification in one of the two Master Bedrooms, the large Theater Room or other interior spaces, but any changes that reduce the floor area should be the responsibility of the applicant.

The recommendations below focus on smaller changes to simplify the design and improve its compatibility with its immediate neighborhood.

REAR ELEVATION: Currently Proposed

1. Lower the second floor plate height from 10 feet to 9 feet.

2. Simplify the front facade by removing the projecting formal entry.

3. Provide larger windows on the Family Room front facade for more visual variety.

4. Detail the windows to be more consistent with the proposed architectural style. Two options are possible that are consistent with the style - window frames or frameless windows with deeply recessed windows.

Window sashes should be wide enough to be consistent with the style. Vinyl or metal cladding over wood are common modern equivalents to traditional wood windows. If trim is used, soften the color contrast with the house body color.

5. Add projecting trim to visually separate the floors.

6. Add trim at the bottom of the projecting bay on the right side elevation and enlarge the size of the supporting corbels. Exposed roof rafter tails were shown in a very limited area: eliminate them or carry them consistently around all eaves.

7. Substantially recess the garage door.

8. Change the extended roof overhang at the Master Bedroom on the rear elevation to a hip roof.

9. Add windows to the garage on the rear facade to break up the current blank wall.

Responses to Consulting Architect Report
Gkw Responses in Blue

1. Lower the second floor plate height from 10 feet to 9 feet.

This is adjusted.

2. Simplify the front façade by removing the projecting formal entry.

Simplifying the front façade will result in loss of focus point and the grand-ness when looking from the street side.

We believe it is best to keep the projecting formal entry as it ties the façade together.

Neighboring houses with projecting formal entry:
589 Vasona Ave
14333 Capri Dr
14335 Capri Dr
14261 Capri Dr
In addition, please see separate attachment “14331 Capri Dr – Letter of Justification For Design Features” for further details and justification.

3. Provide larger windows on the Family Room front façade for more visual variety.

Per recommendation, larger windows are provided on the Family Room front façade for more visual variety.

4. Detail the windows to be more consistent with proposed architectural style. Two options are possible that are consistent with the style – window frames or frameless windows with deeply recessed windows.

Window sashes should be wide enough to be consistent with the style. Vinyl or metal cladding over wood are common modern equivalents to traditional wood windows. If trim is used, soften the color contrast with the house body color.

Window detail/trim’s color is revised to be soften.

5. Add projecting trim to visually separate the floors.

Per recommendations, projecting trim to visually separate the floors is added.

6. Add trim at the bottom of the projecting bay on the right side elevation and enlarge the size of the supporting corbels. Exposed roof rafter tails were shown in a very limited area: eliminate them or carry them consistently around all eaves.

Per recommendations, supporting corbels are enlarged and exposed roof rafter tails are removed.

7. Substantially recess the garage door.

Per recommendation, garage door is recessed in by 12 inches.

8. Change the extended roof overhang at the Master Bedroom on the rear elevation to a hip roof.

EXHIBIT 7

ITEM NO. 11.

This cannot be done as it will result a cricket in between two hips. In addition, the roof was carefully designed in a way to reduce the amount of “pointy” peak while keeping the simplicity of the ridge lines.

Please see separate attachment “14331 Capri Dr – Letter of Justification For Shed Roof” for further details and justification.

9. Add windows to the garage on the rear façade to break up the current blank wall.

Windows are added on the rear façade of the garage to break up the current blank wall.

Letter of Justification (Design Features)
To Whom it May Concern:

On behalf of Ravi Kiran Vallamdas and family, we are pleased to present this new project to the Town of Los Gatos with evidence to support this project's design features (size, height, floor area, massing, and style).

Projected Entry Feature:
14331 Capri Dr (Proposed project) – 5 ft depth covered entry

ITEM NO. 11.

Evidence from neighboring residence:
589 Vasona Ave – Roughly 6.5 ft depth 1 ½ story tall covered entry

ITEM NO. 11.
14259 Capri Dr – 5 ft depth covered entry

ITEM NO. 11.
750 Pollard Rd – 3 feet depth covered entry

ITEM NO. 11.
731 Pollard Rd – 2.5 ft depth covered entry

ITEM NO. 11.
398 Knowles Dr – 4 ft depth 1 ½ story tall covered entry Conclusion: These neighboring residences, within 0.25 miles radius, indicate the use of projected entry. Despite of the Los Gatos Residential Guidelines stating “Avoid large and formal entries unless that is the norm for nearby houses,” we believed that the formal projecting entry for this project ultimately ties the design together and gives that grandness factor.

Reference:

3.6.3 Design Entries with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood

3.6.4 Entry details are encouraged
Massing and FAR:

ITEM NO. 11.
14331 Capri Dr
• 2 Stories, 27' - 2" tall
• FAR: 26.8%
• Prominent roof shape: Hip

ITEM NO. 11.
589 Vasona Ave
• 2 stories, roughly 29 ft tall in height
• FAR: 30.3%
• Prominent roof shape: Hip

ITEM NO. 11.
398 Knowles Dr & 388 Knowles Dr
• 2 stories, both roughly 27ft tall in height
• FAR: 30.2% (398 Knowles Dr) & 24.6% (388 Knowles Dr)
• Prominent roof shape: Hip
Conclusion: These neighboring residences, within 0.25 miles radius, indicate similar size based on the usage of twostory building design. Not only that, this brings us into conclusion that the proposed project (14331 Capri Dr) is not the largest building in the neighborhood with only FAR of 26.8%. There are many houses around the neighborhood, (not shown on the justification letter) has FAR greater than 26.8% in relative to the lot size. In addition, majority of the neighborhood consists of soft roof slope, lack of steep roof slope, and primary hip shape roof with some gable at the entry.

Architectural Style:

ITEM NO. 11.
14331 Capri Dr – Spanish Mediterranean
14333 Capri Dr – Spanish Mediterranean

ITEM NO. 11.
14259 Capri Dr – Spanish Mediterranean / Ranch style hybrid  Matching usage of clay tyle roof
Conclusion: These neighboring residences, settled on the same street “Capri Dr”, indicate similar use of architectural style “Spanish Mediterranean”. Similar exterior materials are proposed to match with these two “Capri Dr” homes; i.e., clay tile roofing and beige color stucco.

COMPLIANCE WITH RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The proposed home specifically addresses the Residential Design Guidelines as follows:

Neighborhood Harmony & Compatibility: The neighborhood character is very eclectic and trending towards transitional, so this modern take on a Spanish Mediterranean style will fit right in. In addition, the direct neighboring property at the south side is a Spanish Mediterranean as well.

Scale & Massing: The proposed home has 25 ft front setback to the front of the house, and 30 ft 7 in to the front door and 80 ft to the garage. The house has been carefully articulated with roof elevation lines and walls pushed in and out that break up each elevation. The second floor on the left side has been inset to provide additional relief, and there are two bedrooms on the second floor on the right elevation. All roof types have been introduced to help reduce the overall building heights and emphasize horizontal lines which help to ground the building. In addition, this proposed residence is not the largest in comparison of other houses stated in the justification letter.

Exterior Materials: High quality materials adorn this home, including the use of smooth-troweled 3-coat stucco, and aluminum framed windows and doors. The bermuda blend clay tile roofing contrasts the house colors for a more consistent display.

ITEM NO. 11.

Energy Conservation: The house will employ high quality dual glazed, low E wood windows, ultra-high performance insulation packages and high efficiency mechanical systems for heating, cooling and domestic hot water. Strategically placed high windows throughout the house will illuminate the interior to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the daytime. Cross ventilation is provided to allow natural cooling in order to reduce the need for A/C.

Privacy: The two story home does not pose any privacy issues to any adjacent neighbor. The windows that are not oriented to the front and back have higher sills and are for lighting and illumination to the main house only. In addition, the proposed balcony does not face towards directly to any of the neighboring property. However, it was discussed with the Town of Los Gatos, which the property “14299 Capri Dr” is a potential large mass development with multi-stories. In that case, the balcony should not have any effect on property “14299 Capri Dr”.

FURTHER RESPONSES TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:

CONCLUSION This house has been conceived from the beginning to be compatible with both the neighborhood and the site. The size, mass, color and exterior style are in keeping with the surrounding properties and will enhance the neighborhood.

Los Gatos Single and Two Family Residential Design Guidelines -

2.2.3 Maintain a strong street presence on both street-facing facades of corner lots

2.2.4 Relate any street visible fences and gates to the house facades

2.3.4 Use roof forms and pitches that are similar to other houses in the neighborhood

2.4.2 Minimize the impact of garage doors on the streetscape

2.4.5 Mitigate the impact of driveways on the streetscape

3.2.1 Select an architectural style with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood

3.2.2 Design for architectural integrity

3.3.1 Develop the house plans and elevations together
 Avoid complex floor plans that require complicated building mass and roof forms

3.3.2 Height and bulk at front and side setbacks
 Use hip roofs at the sides rather than gables
 Avoid bay windows and other features that compete with the entry as the home’s focal point  Corner lots need to be treated with extra care when designing a new house or an addition to soften the visual mass and height and to enliven the street frontage

3.3.3 Provide visual relief for two story walls
 Pop outs and bay windows

3.4.1 Limit the prominence of garages
 Avoid designs that allow the garage to dominate the street façade  Recess garage doors as much as possible from the garage façade

3.4.3 Integrate garage doors into the design with appropriate details  Wood doors are encouraged
 Use wood trim similar to the house windows

3.5.2 Avoid excessive roof form complexity

3.5.3 Relate roof overhangs to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood

3.6.1 Provide a clear expression of entry

ITEM NO. 11.
 Orient the entry to the street front. It should be visible from the street.  Provide a separate walkway from the sidewalks to the entry if that is the common pattern for adjacent and nearby homes. Avoid using the driveway as the walkway to the entry unless that is the norm for the neighborhood. In cases where the driveway is used, consider the use of modular pavers or decorative banding.

3.6.2 Design home entries with sensitivity to the architectural style  Most architectural styles have a distinctively unique entry type.

3.6.4 Entry details are encouraged

3.7.1 Arrange windows in patterns and groupings consistent with the architectural style and surrounding neighborhood

3.7.2 Match window types and proportions to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood  Select window types to complement the style of the house.  Most architectural styles feature windows that have either vertical or square proportions. Avoid horizontal window proportions unless the style (e.g., Modern or Ranch Style) is clearly supportive of that shape.  Limit the number of different window types and proportions to enhance the visual unity of the house design.

3.7.3 Match window materials to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood

3.7.4 Design the windows with attention to matching the traditional style of the architectural style  Most architectural styles – except Mission, Spanish Eclectic or Modern  Projecting window sills and heads are strongly encourage unless the architectural style would not normally have those features.
 Wood trim is also encouraged on stucco homes unless the window frames are recessed at least 6 inches from the outside face of the wall.
 Divided lights are common in many home style found in Los Gatos. Use either vertical or square proportions for the smaller window elements. Be consistent in the proportions of the smaller panes. Do not use snap in flat grids to simulate divided lights. Use either true divided lights or one of the newer window system that have dimensional muntins on both the exterior and interior of the glass along with a space muntin between the panes of glass. Use consistently for windows on all sides of the house.

3.8.1 Use high quality materials
 Use materials and mixes of materials that are consistent with the architectural style selected.  Avoid rough textured stucco in favor of a smooth sand finish.

3.10.2 Balconies
 Avoid balconies that project more than 3 feet form the face of the building unless they are tpical of the architectural style.

3.10.5 Roof flashing and vents
 Paint flashing and vents to match the color of the roof.

3.11.2 Minimize privacy intrusions of adjacent residences  Second floor balconies and decks should be used only when they do not intrude on the privacy of adjacent neighbors
 When allowed, the design of railings should be tailer to the privacy corns of neighbors. Open railings should only be used when privacy concerns are minimal.

To Whom it May Concern:

On behalf of Ravi Kiran Vallamdas and family, we are pleased to present this new project to the Town of Los Gatos with evidence to support the proposed features of this project design.

Shed Roof @ Master Bedroom

ITEM NO. 11.

Conclusion: By comparing the elevations, the peak of the roof has increased by 11 inches without adding the shed roof at the master bedroom. In addition, North and South elevations indicate the excessively sharp peak at the center of the roof which makes the whole roof shape overly convoluted and awkward. By adding the shed roof at the master bedroom side, the peak of the roof softens as a result of no awkward shape peaks. In addition, this is compatible with Los Gatos Residential Guidelines – Building Design Section 3.5 as follows:

3.5 Roofs

3.5.1 Unify Roof pitches
 Utilize the same slope for all primary roof
 Roof slopes for porches may be lower than the primary roof slope, depending on the architectural style  Dormer roof slopes may sometimes be steeper than the primary roof slope, depending on the architectural style

3.5.2 Avoid excessive roof form complexity
 Avoid multiple floor plan pop outs that produce multiple roof gables. Where roof eave variation is desired, consider vertical wall extensions and dormer roofs

3.5.3 Relate roof overhangs to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood  Some architectural styles (e.g., Mission and Spanish Eclectic) often come in small and large overhang versions. In those circumstances, tailor the roof overhangs to the general character of the surrounding homes.

3.5.4. Design dormers with attention to the architectural style and the neighborhood  Avoid dormer sizes that are out of scale with the roof and contrary to traditional designs  Gable dormers, single or an aggregate of multiple dormers, should rarely exceed 50% of the width of the roof. Shed dormers can be wider.

14331 Capri Drive Tree Inventory, Assessment
and Protection Report
December 4, 2023
Summary
The applicant is requesting approval for a zone change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential, Minimum Lot Size of 8,000 square feet). APN: 406-32-004. Categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exemption.

There are no Large Protected trees, two are Exempt fruit trees and on fan palm (Washingtonia robusta) is Exempt species listed in 29.10.0970 subsection (2), and there are no Street Trees. Six trees are in good condition, five fair, and one in poor shape which is incense cedar #189. One Exempt orange tree #196 is likely to be removed. The two olives (#190 and #191) along the north side of the proposed new house are in close proximity and could be moderately impacted. The remaining nine trees will not be affected by the proposed plan.

There are several trees around the front of the property which include the two olives, #190 and #191, and stone pine #193.

The trees have good tolerance to construction impacts and the existing house acts as a kind of place holder for the specified tree protection zone. The calculated tree protection zone is between 14 and 19 feet. The specified tree protection zone will need to be established just inside the property setback to allow for construction.

There were nine trees (9) protected trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $81,000.00 (two exempt oranges and one fan palm omitted).

Introduction
Background
The Town of Los Gatos asked me to assess the site, trees, and proposed footprint plan, and to provide a report with my findings and recommendations to help satisfy planning
requirements.

Assignment
• Provide an arborist’s report including an assessment of the trees within the project area and on the adjacent sites. The assessment is to include the species, size (trunk diameter), condition (health, structure, and form), and suitability for preservation ratings. Affix number tags on the trees for reference on site and on plans.
• Provide tree protection specifications, guidelines, and impact ratings for those affected by the project.
• Provide appraised values using the Trunk Formula Technique.

Limits of the assignment

• The plans reviewed for this assignment were as follows (Table 1) Purpose and use of the report
The report is intended to identify all the trees within the plan area that could be affected by a project. The report is to be used by the Town of Los Gatos and the property owners as a
reference for existing tree conditions to help satisfy planning requirements.

Observations
Tree Inventory
The inventory consists of trees protected by the Town of Los Gatos located on site and those in close proximity on
neighboring properties. Sec. 29.10.0960. - Scope of protected trees. All trees which have a four-inch or greater diameter (twelve and one half-inch circumference) of any trunk, when removal relates to any review for which zoning approval or subdivision approval is required. (Appendix A and B). Los Gatos Town Ordinance 29.10.0970 Exceptions (1) states the following: “A fruit or nut tree that is less than eighteen (18) inches in diameter (fifty-seven-inch circumference).

Analysis
Tree appraisal was performed according to the Council of Tree & Landscape Appraisers Guide for Plant Appraisal 10th Edition, 2019 (CLTA) along with Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture Species Classification and Group Assignment, 2004. The trees were appraised using the “Cost Approach” and more specifically the “Trunk Formula Technique” (Appendix B). “Trunk Formula Technique” is calculated as follows: Basic Tree Cost = (Unit tree cost x Appraised trunk area), Appraised Value = (Basic tree cost X functional Limitations (percentage) X Condition (percentage) X External Limitations (percentage)).

The trunk formula valuations are based on four tree factors; size (trunk cross sectional area), condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. There are two steps to determine the overall value. The first step is to determine the “Basic Tree Cost” based on size and unit tree cost. Unit tree cost is calculated by dividing the nursery wholesale cost of a 24 inch box specimen and its replacement size (cost per square inch trunk caliper) which is determined by the Species Classification and Group Assignment, 2004 Western Chapter Regional Supplement. The cost of the 24 inch box wholesale specimen was determined through personal communications with BrightView and Normans nurseries in Farmington and Central Wholesale in San Jose for an average of $214.00.

The second part is to depreciate the tree’s Basic Cost through an assessment of condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. The condition assessment guidelines and percentages are defined in the “Condition Rating” section of this report.

Functional limitations are based on factors associated with the tree’s interaction to its planting site that would affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future and include genetics, placement, and site conditions for the individual tree. External limitations are outside the property, out of control of the owner and also affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future (i.e power lines, municipal restrictions, drought adaptations, or species susceptibility to pests).

There were nine trees (9) protected trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $81,000.00 (two exempt oranges and one fan palm omitted).

Appraisal worksheets are available upon request.

Discussion
Condition Rating
A tree’s condition is a determination of its overall health, structure, and form. The assessment considered all three criteria for a combined condition rating.
• 100% - Exceptional = Good health and structure with
significant size, location or quality.
• 61-80% - Good = Normal vigor, well-developed structure, function and aesthetics not compromised with good longevity for the site.
• 41-60 % - Fair = Reduced vigor, damage, dieback, or pest problems, at least one significant structural problem or multiple moderate defects requiring treatment. Major
asymmetry or deviation from the species normal habit,
function and aesthetics compromised.
• 21-40% - Poor = Unhealthy and declining appearance with poor vigor, abnormal foliar color, size or density with potential irreversible decline. One serious structural defect or multiple significant defects that cannot be corrected and failure may occur at any time. Significant asymmetry and compromised aesthetics and intended use.
• 6-20% - Very Poor = Poor vigor and dying with little foliage in irreversible decline. Severe defects with the likelihood of failure being probable or imminent. Aesthetically poor with little or no function in the landscape.
• 0-5% - Dead/Unstable = Dead or imminently ready to fail.

Six trees are in good condition, five fair, and one in poor shape which is incense cedar #189 (Chart 2).

Expected Impact Level
Impact level defines how a tree may be affected by construction activity and proximity to the tree, and is described as low, moderate, or high. The following scale defines the impact rating:
• Low = The construction activity will have little influence on the tree.
• Moderate = The construction may cause future health or structural problems, and steps must be taken to protect the tree to reduce future problems.
• High = Tree structure and health will be compromised and removal is recommended, or other actions must be taken for the tree to remain. The tree is located in the building envelope.

One Exempt orange tree #196 is likely to be removed (Chart 3).

The two olives (#190 and #191) along the north side of the proposed new house are in close proximity and could be
moderately impacted. The remaining nine trees will not be affected by the proposed plan, which consists of construction largely within the footprint of the existing structure.

Mitigation for Removals
The table below indicates the recommended replacement values (Table 2). The applicant will not be required to replace any protected trees. Alternatively it may be possible to create an approved landscape plan or provide an in-lieu payment. The landscape plan does not indicate any replacement trees. 1 To measure an asymmetrical canopy of a tree, the widest measurement shall be used to determine canopy size.
2 Often, it is not possible to replace a single large, older tree with an equivalent tree(s). In this case, the tree may be replaced with a combination of both the Tree Canopy Replacement
Standard and in-lieu payment in an amount set forth by Town Council resolution paid to the Town Tree Replacement Fund.

3 Single Family Residential Replacement Option is available for developed single family residential lots under 10,000 square feet that are not subject to the Town’s Hillside Development Standards and Guidelines. All 15-gallon trees must be planted on-site. Any in-lieu fees for single family residential shall be based on 24” box tree rates as adopted by Town Council. 4 Replacement Trees shall be approved by the Town Arborist and shall be of a species suited to the available planting location, proximity to structures, overhead clearances, soil type, compatibility with surrounding canopy and other relevant factors. Replacement with native species shall be strongly encouraged. Replacement requirements in the Hillsides shall comply with the Hillside Development Standards and
Guidelines Appendix A and Section 29.10.0987 Special
Provisions—Hillsides.

Tree Protection
Typically there are three different tree protection schemes which are called Type I (Appendix D1), Type II and Type III (Appendix D2) trunk protection only. The tree protection zone (TPZ) is the defined area in which certain activities are prohibited to minimize potential injury to the tree and should encompass the critical root zone. There are two tree protection zones determined which include the “calculated” and “specified” tree protection zones. The “calculated” tree protection zone is determined by a multiplication factor based on species tolerance, tree age/vigor/health, and trunk diameter (Table 3). The “specified” tree protection zone is adjusted in size and shape to accommodate the existing infrastructure, planned construction, and specific site constraints. This “specified” zone includes tree canopy conformation, visible root orientation, size, condition, maturity, and species tolerances (Gilpin, R, Hauer, R, Matheny, N, and Smiley, E.T. 2023).

There are several trees around the front of the property which include the two olives, #190 and #191, and stone pine #193. However all three trees have good tolerance to construction impacts and the existing house acts as a kind of place holder for the specified tree protection zone. The calculated tree protection zone is between 14 and 19 feet. The specified tree protection zone will need to be established just inside the property setback to allow for construction.

Conclusion
The plans are to demolish the existing main structure and build a new two story house. The inventory contains twelve trees comprised of nine different species. There are no Large Protected trees, two are Exempt fruit trees and on fan palm is Exempt species listed in

29.10.0970 subsection (2), and no Street Trees. Six trees are in good condition, five fair, and one in poor shape which is incense cedar #189.

One Exempt orange tree #196 is likely to be removed. The two olives (#190 and #191) along the north side of the proposed new house are in close proximity and could be moderately impacted. The remaining nine trees will not be affected by the proposed plan, which consists of construction largely within the footprint of the existing structure.

Recommendations

1. Place tree numbers on all the plans including the Grading and Drainage plans. Make sure the plans and tree removals are consistent between the plan sets. Provide access to trees not assessed through the property on the south side.

2. Remove Exempt orange #196. Place fence inside the setback to protect trees #190, #191, #192, and #193. Trees in the back of the site #186 though #189 are not near proposed improvements and are already segregated by a fence.

3. Place 4-6 inches of mulch inside the tree protection zone. Install temporary irrigation or soaker hoses in the TPZ. Monitor watering times or amounts to ensure adequate soil saturation. (A 5/8” soaker hose requires about 200 minutes to deliver one inch of water to a garden. This number is affected by the length of the hose and the overall rate of flow from the faucet. A good rule of thumb is to expect about ½ GPM as a standard faucet flow rate.). Infrequent deeper watering is preferred.

4. All tree maintenance and care shall be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree maintenance and care shall be specified in writing according to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations: Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Management: Standard Practices parts 1 through 10 and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards and local regulations. All maintenance is to be performed according to ISA Best Management Practices.

5. Refer to Appendix D for general tree protection guidelines including recommendations for arborist assistance while working under trees, trenching, or excavation within a trees drip line or designated TPZ/CRZ.

6. Place all the tree protection fence locations and guidelines on the plans including the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Create a separate plan sheet that includes all three protection measures labeled “T-1 Tree Protection Plan.”

7. Provide a copy of this report to all contractors and project managers, including the architect, civil engineer, and landscape designer or architect. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all parties are familiar with this document. Arrange a pre-construction meeting with the project arborist or landscape architect to verify tree protection is in place, with the correct materials, and at the proper distances.

straw wattle: also known as straw worms, bio-logs, straw noodles, or straw tubes are man made cylinders of compressed, weed free straw (wheat or rice), 8 to 12 inches in diameter and 20 to 25 feet long. They are encased in jute, nylon, or other photo degradable materials,
and have an average weight of 35 pounds.
structure: Evaluation focused on the crown, trunk, trunk flare, above ground roots and the site conditions contributing to conditions and/or defects that may contribute to failure.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): Defined area within which certain activities are prohibited or restricted to prevent or minimize potential injury to designated trees, especially during construction or development.

Tree Risk Assessment: Process of evaluating what unexpected things could happen, how likely it is, and what the likely outcomes are. In tree management, the systematic process to determine the level of risk posed by a tree, tree part, or group of trees. trunk: Stem of a tree.

Trunk Formula Technique: Method to appraise the monetary value of trees considered too large to be replaced with nursery or field grown stock. Based on developing a representative unit cost for replacement with the same or comparable species of the same size and in the same place, subject to depreciation for various factors. Contrast with replacement cost method. volunteer: A tree, not planted by human hands, that begins to grow on residential or commercial property. Unlike trees that are b drought in and installed on property, volunteer trees usually spring up on their own from seeds placed onto the ground by natural causes or accidental transport by people. Normally, volunteer trees are considered weeds and removed, but many desirable and attractive specimens have gone on to become permanent residents on many public and private grounds.

All persons, shall comply with the following precautions

1. Prior to the commencement of construction, install the fence at the dripline, or tree protection zone (TPZ) when specified in an approved arborist report, around any tree and/or vegetation to be retained which could be affected by the construction and prohibit any storage of construction materials or other materials, equipment cleaning, or parking of vehicles within the TPZ. The dripline shall not be altered in any way so as to increase the encroachment of the construction.

2. Prohibit all construction activities within the TPZ, including but not limited to: excavation, grading, drainage and leveling within the dripline of the tree unless approved by the Director.

3. Prohibit disposal or depositing of oil, gasoline, chemicals or other harmful materials within the dripline of or in drainage channels, swales or areas that may lead to the dripline of a protected tree.

4. Prohibit the attachment of wires, signs or ropes to any protected tree.

5. Design utility services and irrigation lines to be located outside of the dripline when feasible.

6. Retain the services of a certified or consulting arborist who shall serve as the project arborist for periodic monitoring of the project site and the health of those trees to be preserved. The project arborist shall be present whenever activities occur which may pose a potential threat to the health of the trees to be preserved and shall document all site visits.

7. The Director and project arborist shall be notified of any damage that occurs to a protected tree during construction so that proper treatment may be administered.

Prohibited Activities
The following are prohibited activities within the TPZ:
• Grade changes (e.g. soil cuts, fills);
• Trenches;
• Root cuts;
• Pedestrian and equipment traffic that could compact the soil or physically damage roots; • Parking vehicles or equipment;
• Burning of brush and woody debris;
• Storing soil, construction materials, petroleum products, water, or building refuse; and, • Disposing of wash water, fuel or other potentially damaging liquids.

December 4, 2023
Monitoring
Any trenching, construction or demolition that is expected to damage or encounter tree roots should be monitored by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist and should be documented.

The site should be evaluated by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist after construction is complete, and any necessary remedial work that needs to be performed should be noted.

Root Pruning
Roots greater than two inches in diameter shall not be cut. When roots over two inches in diameter are encountered and are authorized to be cut or removed, they should be pruned by hand with loppers, handsaw, reciprocating saw, or chain saw rather than left crushed or torn. Roots should be cut beyond sinker roots or outside root branch junctions and be supervised by the project arborist. When completed, exposed roots should be kept moist with burlap or backfilled within one hour.

Boring or Tunneling
Boring machines should be set up outside the drip line or established Tree Protection Zone. Boring may also be performed by digging a trench on both sides of the tree until roots one inch in diameter are encountered and then hand dug or excavated with an Air Spade® or similar air or water excavation tool. Bore holes should be adjacent to the trunk and never go directly under the main stem to avoid oblique (heart) roots. Bore holes should be a minimum of three feet deep.

Tree Pruning and Removal Operations
All tree pruning or removals should be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Treatment, including pruning, shall be specified in writing according to the most recent ANSI A-300A Standards and Limitations and performed according to ISA Best Management Practices while adhering to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards. Trees that need to be removed or pruned should be identified in the pre-construction walk through.

Recommendations

1. Place tree numbers on all plans including the Grading and Drainage plans. Make sure the plans and tree removals are consistent between the plan sets. Provide access to trees not assessed through the property on the south side.

This is addressed. All trees have been numbers on all plans.

2. Remove Exempt orange #196. Place fence inside the setback to protect #190, #191, #192, and #193. Trees in the back of the site #186 through #189 are not near proposed improvements and are already segregated by a fence.

Exempt orange #196 is removed accordingly. Fence is provided to protect #190, #191, #192, and #193.

Please see tree protection plan on sheet G007.

3. Place 4-6 inches of mulch inside the tree protection zone. Install temporary irrigation or soaked hoses in the TPZ. Monitor watering times or amounts to ensure adequate soil saturation. (A 5/8” soaker hose requires about 200 minutes to deliver one inch of water to a garden. This number is affected by the length of the hose and the overall rate of flow from the faucet. A good rule of thumb is to expect about ½ GPM as a standard faucet flow rate.) Infrequent deeper watering is preferred.

This is noted. Please see tree protection plan on sheet G007.

4. All tree maintenance and care shall be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree maintenance and care shall be specified in writing according to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations: Tree, Shrub, and Other Woody Plant Management: Standard Practices parts 1 through 10 and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards and local regulations. All maintenance is to be performed according to ISA Best Management Practices.

This is noted. Please see tree protection plan on sheet G007.

5. Refer to Appendix D for general tree protection guidelines including recommendations for arborist assistance while working under trees, trenching, or excavation within a trees drip line or designated TPZ/CRZ.

This is noted. Please see tree protection plan on sheet G007.

6. Place all the tree protection fence locations and guidelines on the plans including the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Create a separate plan sheet that includes all three protection measures labeled “T-1 Tree Protection Plan.”

ITEM NO. 11.

This is understood. Tree protection fence locations and guidelines are provided on the plans. Please refer to sheet G007 for Tree Protection Plan.

7. Provide a copy of this report to all contractors and project managers, including the architect, civil engineer, and landscape designer or architect. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all parties are familiar with this document. Arrange a pre-construction meeting with the project arborist or landscape architect to verify tree protection is in place, with the correct materials, and at proper distances.

This is understood and noted on the plans, please see tree protection plan on sheet G007.

MITIGATION FOR REMOVAL PER ARBORIST'S RECOMMENDATIONS:

THE TABLE ABOVE INDICATES THE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT VALUES (TABLE 2).

TO MEASURE AN ASYMMETRICAL CANOPY OF A TREE, THE WIDEST MEASUREMENT SHALL BE USED TO DETERMINE CANOPY SIZE.

OFTEN, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE A SINGLE LARGE, OLDER TREE WITH AN EQUIVALENT TREE(S). IN THIS CASE, THE

TREE MAY BE REPLACED WITH A COMBINATION OF BOTH THE TREE CANOPY REPLACEMENT STANDARD AND IN-LIEU PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT SET FORTH BY TOWN COUNCIL RESOLUTION PAID TO THE TOWN TREE REPLACEMENT FUND.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REPLACEMENT OPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS UNDER 10,000 SQUARE FEET THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE TOWN'S HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. ALL 15-GALLON TREES MUST BE PLANTED ON-SITE. ANY IN-LIEU FEES FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SHALL BE BASED ON 24" BOX TREE RATES AS ADOPTED BY TOWN COUNCIL.

REPLACEMENT TREES SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE TOWN ARBORIST AND SHALL BE OF A SPECIES SUITED TO THE

AVAILABLE PLANTING LOCATION, PROXIMITY TO STRUCTURES, OVERHEAD CLEARANCES, SOIL TYPE, COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING CANOPY AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS. REPLACEMENT WITH NATIVE SPECIES SHALL BE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS IN THE HILLSIDES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES APPENDIX A AND SECTION 29.10.0987 SPECIAL PROVISIONS - HILLSIDES.

SECTION 29.10.1005 - PROTECTION OF TREES DURING CONSTRUCTION:

TREE PROTECTION ZONES & FENCE SPECIFICATIONS
SIZE AND MATERIALS: SIX (6) FOOT HIGH CHAIN LINK FENCING, MOUNTED ON TWO-INCH DIAMETER GALVANIZED IRON POSTS, SHALL BE DRIVER INTO THE GROUND TO A DEPTH OF AT LEAST TWO (2) FEET AT NO MORE THAN TEN-FOOT SPACING. FOR PAVING AREA THAT WILL NOT BE DEMOLISHED AND WHEN STIPULATED IN A TREE PRESERVATION, POSTS MAY BE SUPPORTED BY A CONCRETE BASE.

AREA TYPE TO BE FENCED: TYPE I: ENCLOSURE WITH CHAIN LINK FENCING OF EITHER THE ENTIRE DRIPLINE AREA OR AT THE TREE PROTECTION ZONE (TPZ) WHEN SPECIFIED BY A CERTIFIED OR CONSULTING ARBORIST. TYPE II: ENCLOSURE FOR STREET TREES LOCATED IN A PLANTER STRIP: CHAIN LINK FENCE AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANTER STRIP TO THE OUTER BRANCHES. TYPE III: PROTECTION FOR A TREE LOCATED IN A SMALL PLANTER CUTOUT ONLY (SUCH AS DOWNTOWN):

ORANGE PLASTIC FENCING SHALL BE WRAPPED AROUND THE TRUNK FROM TH EGROUND TO THE FIRST BRANCH WITH TWO-INCH WOODEN BOARDS BOUND SECURELY ON THE OUTSIDE. CAUTION SHALL BE USED TO AVOID DAMAGING ANY BARK OR BRANCHES.

DURATION OF TYPE I, II, III FENCING: FENCING SHALL BE ERECTED BEFORE DEMOLITION, GRADING, OR CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE ISSUED AND REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE WORK IS COMPLETED. CONTRACTOR SHALL FIRST OBTAIN THE APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT ARBORIST ON RECORD PRIOR TO REMOVING A TREE PROTECTION FENCE.

WARNING SIGN: EACH TREE FENCE SHALL HAVE PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED AN EIGHT AND ONE-HALF-INCH BY ELEVEN-INCH SIGN STATING: "WARNING - TREE PROTECTION ZONE - THIS FENCE SHALL NOT BE REMOVED AND IS SUBJECT TO PENALTY ACCORDING TO TOWN CODE 29.10.1025." TEXT ON THE SIGNS SHOULD BE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH (APPENDIX E).

1. 2.

3. 4.

PLAN NOTES PER ARBORIST'S RECOMMENDATIONS:

PLACE 4 - 6 INCHES OF MULCH INSIDE THE TREE PROTECTION ZONE. INSTALL TEMPORARY IRRIGATION OR SOAKED HOSES IN THE TPZ. MONITOR WATERING TIMES OR AMOUNTS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE SOIL SATURATION. (A 5/8” SOAKER HOSE REQUIRES ABOUT 200 MINUTES TO DELIVER ONE INCH OF WATER TO A GARDEN. THIS NUMBER IS AFFECTED BY THE LENGTH OF THE HOSE AND THE OVERALL RATE OF FLOW FROM THE FAUCET. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TO EXPECT ABOUT ½ GPM AS A STANDARD FAUCET FLOW RATE.) INFREQUENT DEEPER WATERING IS PREFERRED.

ALL TREE MAINTENANCE AND CARE SHALL BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ARBORIST WITH A C-61/D-49 CALIFORNIA CONTRACTORS LICENSE. TREE MAINTENANCE AND CARE SHALL BE SPECIFIED IN WRITING ACCORDING TO AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR TREE CARE OPERATIONS: TREE, SHRUB, AND OTHER WOODY PLANT MANAGEMENT: STANDARD PRACTICES PARTS 1 THROUGH 10 AND ADHERE TO ANSI Z133.1 SAFETY STANDARDS AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. ALL MAINTENANCE IS TO BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO ISA BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.

REFER TO APPENDIX D FOR GENERAL TREE PROTECTION GUIDELINES INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARBORIST

ASSISTANCE WHILE WORKING UNDER TREES, TRENCHING, OR EXCAVATION WITHIN A TREES DRIP LINE OR DESIGNATED TPZ/CRZ.

PROVIDE A COPY OF THIS REPORT TO ALL CONTRACTORS AND PROJECT MANAGERS, INCLUDING THE ARCHITECT, CIVIL ENGINEER, AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNER OR ARCHITECT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO ENSURE ALL PARTIES ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS DOCUMENT. ARRANGE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH THE PROJECT ARBORIST OR

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO VERIFY TREE PROTECTION IS IN PLACE, WITH THE CORRECT MATERIALS, AND AT PROPER DISTANCES.
