Santa Clara Valley Water District Pennit No. 01226
Addition to 824 Inwood Drive
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wurfer:
The Planning Division has been notified that the scope of your addition has been expanded to include
the demolition of nearly all of your existing walls and sub-floors. You are essentially building a new
house instead of an addition to the existing residence. This additional construction was not authorized
by Campbell Building Pennit No. BLD 2001-113.
The approved building permit plans include a 395 square foot addition of living space to the first floor,
a 46 square foot addition to the existing garage, and a 695 square foot addition of a second story.
The building pennit plans, including the floor plans and elevations of your proposed addition, received
Site and Architectural review approval by the Community Development Director. Any changes to
theses plans, including the additional work that is underway, must be approved by the Community
Development Director and must meet the design guidelines of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood
Plan. If they do not meet the design guidelines, changes to your unauthorized work may be required.
You will also need to notify the Santa Clara Valley Water District of the changes to your plans since
you received a construction pennit trom the District based on the building pennit plans that were
approved for the project. You are currently in violation of the construction pennit issued by the
District.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact me at 408-866-2193 or via email

Sincerely,
Darcy Smith

Dear Mr. Faktorovich:
The Planning Division has reviewed your pre-application for a proposed addition to a single-
family residence on the referenced property. The plans were reviewed by the Planning
Division per the requirements of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP).
Floor Area Ratio
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for your proposed addition is just under 0.45, the maximum
F.A.R allowed in the R-1-6 Zoning District.
Setbacks
The proposed addition does not meet the required setback. The entrance to the garage must
be 25 feet from the public street right-of-way (22 feet is proposed).
Design
Additions to existing homes in the San Tomas Area are required to incorporate
representative architectural features of the homes in the area, such as shape, fonn, roof pitch,
and materials. While most of your proposed addition meets the design requirements, the
roofline, especially the portion that extends from the peak of the roof down to the front and
south side of the house over the living room, does not meet the requirements. It is not an
architectural feature historically found in the area. The amount of wall and roof plane
articulation is not similar to adjacent homes. Furthermore, the roofline of the addition is not
consistent with the original home nor is it visually compatible with the adjacent home
designs. You should add an architectural feature that breaks up the roof space and is similar
to existing architectural features in the area.
The proposed balcony is not an architectural feature commonly found in the area. It does not
appear visible on the front elevation, which appears erroneous.

It is recommended that you accentuate the entrance and integrate it with the bay window on
the front elevation. You should also detail the proposed materials on the plans. Visually light
roof materials (composition, shingles) are required in the STANP.

Please revise your plans to meet these requirements.
