Re: Preliminary Application Comments - PRE 2001-28 & 29 - 1601 and 1603 Van Dusen Lane
Dear Mr. Lee:
The Planning Division has reviewed your preliminary plan submittal for two single-family residences at
1601 and 1603 Van Dusen Lane. Your application was distributed to the Public Works Department,
Building Division, Planning Division, and the County Fire Department. Comments from the Public Works
Department and the County Fire Department are attached. Below, please find comments from the Planning
Division. Please note that these are intended as preliminary only and additional comments and requirements
may be forthcoming.
Since the properties are located in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood, the plans were reviewed by the
Planning Division per the requirements of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (ST ANP). This document
is enclosed for your review. The policies of the plan are intended to preserve the unique qualities of the San
Tomas Area Neighborhood. New development is required to respect and enhance the best aspects of the area.
New construction in the R-I-9 Zoning District must receive Site and Architectural Review Permit approval
by the Plmming Commission.
Development Requirements
The proposed residence at 1601 Van Dusen Lane is oriented so that the front of the house faces the eastern
property line. A setback of at least 10 feet is required on the northern property line; however, it is
recommended that you increase this setback to provide adequate privacy to the adjacent residence to the
north. Because this residence is on a flag lot, careful attention must be paid to the design to ensure that it is
compatible with adjacent residences and that"it does not negatively impact the neighbor's privacy. Only an 8-
foot (or 60 percent of the building wall height, whichever is greater) setback is required on the southern
property line. The western (rear) property line must provide a 25-foot setback, whereas the preliminary plans
show only a 20-foot setback.

New homes in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood are required to incorporate representative architectural
features of the homes in the area, such as shape, form, roof pitch, and materials. While new development
should have its own design integrity, design elements and materials found historically in the neighborhood
must be incorporated. When two new homes are proposed, the ST ANP requires significant varied exterior
elevations such as substantial changes in the shape, mass, roofline, front entry treatment, window usage, and
materials that can be seen in the designs.
1601 Van Dusen Lane
The proposed residence has a simple roof form, multi-paned windows, stucco exterior and multi-paned
windows. It appears to conform to the ST ANP; however, the appearance of the garage dominates the front
view, and the entranceway appears to be lost in the elevation. Perhaps you could incorporate design features
to draw attention to front entry to the residence. Although this residence will not be very visible from the
street, it should be welcoming to the homeowners and their visitors.
1603 Van Dusen Lane
The proposed residence has wood siding, a large front porch with railings, and a complex roofline. Similar to
the other proposed residence, the garage dominates the front façade. The placement of the entrance appears
lost due to the dominance of the garage. Staff encourages the orientation of the garage away from the street,
or detached garages where feasible. The ST ANP emphasizes the importance of creating an attractive street
elevation that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Four new homes are or will soon be under
construction to the west of your proposed residences. These plans are available for your view to ensure
compatibility with your proposed residences.
Trees
A condition of approval for the tentative parcel map requires the applicant to submit a tree inventory and
preservation plan for review and approval by the Community Development Director. A mitigation plan is
required with the tree report for all trees over eight inches in diameter that will be removed. Any trees
designated for removal shall be replaced with a similar 24" box size tree at a 1:1 ratio. If the infill of the lots
sufficiently changes the existing grade of the lots, tree protection measures must be identified in the report to
preserve existing trees during and after grading and construction.

In addition, the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan requires the planting of one IS-gallon tree per 2,000
square feet of net lot area. Credit will be granted for all existing trees excluding fruit trees. These trees must
be included on the site plan.
