Upon review by Planning Staff and the City's Architectural Advisor, the proposed colors for the building are considered acceptable for the building and do not change the overall character of the project as previously-approved. Therefore, the Community Development Depaxtnlent has approved a minor modification to allow the proposed color changes to the building as noted in your letter of May 4* and as shown on the color and materials sheet that was provided.

Hamilton Ave. Dear Aki, Following are the color changes to the building that I have submitted for your approval: ROOFING They originally approved roofing tile was a seafoam green and had the number 4002 on the back. I do not know who the manufacturer of that tile was. In its place we have submitted Monier number 5085. This tile is a gray-green color. We feel that this is a more conservative color and will lead to a better color combination. STUCCO The previously approved color for stucco was Pratt and Lambert Foam number 2263. As a substitution we are a proposing a slightly darker color which is a Benjamin Moore paint number HC-80. FACIA Depending on how the building looks when it is finished we may choose to add a color to the facia. If we do it will be Benjamin Moore's number 1560. WINDOW FRAMES This item was previously approved as Arcadia's color cherokee blue UC52128. We have proposed that this be replaced with Arcadia's anodized medium bronze AB-5. Headquarters: 310 W.

Last week you and I stood at the counter and went over the requirements contained in the City Council Resolution for work to be done "prior to the issuance of building permits for the project." The items we discussed and the comments were as follows as numbered in the resolution. 3. LANDSCAPING I pointed out that I had given Sharon landscaping plans on 11/25/98 which should have satisfied this requirement. 5. APPROVAL BY ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER You agreed that items A, B and C were satisfied by the letter that I had obtained from the adjacent property owners and that you could probably get Steve to waive item D until I had more time to obtain that document. 7. PARy~rNG AND DRIVEWAY You agreed that both items A and B had been satisfied by the revised plans. 15. TRASH DISPOSAL/RECYCLING I agreed that this information would be added to the plans and it was included in the set that was given to you last week. 16. ON-SITE LIGHTING A sight lighting plan was included in the set of plans that I gave you. K:\CHARLOTTXHA L\IRANI5.DOC Heodcluo#er$: 310 W.

Subject: Planned Development Permit (PD 98-06) and Tree Removal Permit (TRP 98-01) - 891 W.

RESOLUTION NO. 9455 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PD 98-06) TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TWO-STORY, 8,741 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 891 W. HAMILTON AVENUE IN A PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. HAROLD LONG. FILE NO. PD 98-06. After notification and public heating, as specified by law, and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the heating was closed. After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council finds as follows with respect to application PD 98-06: 1. The proposed project is located on property with a commercial land use designation under the General Plan. 2. The Planned Development Permit to allow a two-story, 8,741 square foot office development is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. o The proposed office building, as conditioned, is well designed and architecturally compatible with other developments in the surrounding area and is consistent with the development standards for commercial uses. 4. The proposed project is compatible with the adjacent residential and commercial uses. ° The proposed project will install the streetscape improvements along Hamilton Avenue in compliance with the City's Streetscape Standards. The requirement to maintain the pedestrian and vehicular ingress, egress and right-of-way easement for the life of the development is necessary to maintain access to the exterior parking spaces for the development along the northern portion of the property and to provide additional space as a setback buffer between the proposed commercial development and the adjacent residential property to the north. o o The proposed landscaping within the pedestrian and vehicular easement along the wall adjacent to the residential property to the north is necessary to provide screening and enhance the appearance of the proposed development from the adjacent residential property to the north. The removal of the existing walnut tree on-site and the existing pine trees on the adjacent property to the east is necessary as it restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual hardship for the property owner to develop the project as proposed. City Council Resolution PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue - Harold Long Page 2 9. The proposed reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project is adequate to serve the proposed project. 10. The location of support columns for the building, size of the development and proposed office use are circumstances which comprehensively warrant a reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project. 11. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were found. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. 2. The development and uses will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently presented, and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. 5. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial impact on plant or animal life. Further, the. applicants are notified as part of this application that they are required to comply with all applicable Codes and Ordinances of the City of Campbell and the State of California which pertain to this application and are not herein specified.

Hamilton Avenue. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Conunission recommends that the City Council take the following: 1. Grant a Negative Declaration for the proposed project; and 2. Adopt a Resolution incorporating the attached findings, and approving the Planned Development Permit, PD 98-06, subject to the attached conditions of approval; and 3. Approve a Tree Removal Permit (TRP 98-01) to allow the removal of six (6) trees in conjunction with the development based upon the attached findings. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The City prepared an Initial Study for this project and it was determined that no significant impacts would be created as a result of the project. Based upon the information provided in the Initial Study, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council grant a Negative Declaration for this project. BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit (PD 98-06) and a Tree Removal Permit (TRP 98-01) to allow the development of a two-story office building on property located at 891 W. Hamilton Avenue. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council at its meeting of October 13, 1998, to approve the project with the attached conditions of approval. The Planning Commission also recommended that the City Council approve a Tree Removal Permit in conjunction with the development of the project per the recently adopted Tree Protection' Ordinance. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The site was previously developed with a service station; however, the service station was demolished in late 1996. ANALYSIS " General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is commercial. The proposed office building is a commercial use and is, therefore, consistent .with the General Plan. Zoning Designation: The zoning 'designation for the site is Planned Development (PD). The proposed project as an office building is consistent with the General Plan and is permitted in a PD zone with approval of a Planned Development Permit. City Council Report - November 2, 1998 PD 98-06 Page 2 Planned Development Permit: The Planned Development Permit will allow for the construction of a two-story, 8,741 square foot office building on the northeast comer of West Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive. The design of the proposed project will be a modem-style stucco building accented by two large concrete stucco towers protruding from the building, and will have a concrete tile roof. The first floor of the building will consist of approximately 1,950 square feet of office area facing W. Hamilton Avenue and the remaining portions will accommodate interior parking spaces. The second floor of the building will accommodate the remaining 6,800 square feet of office area. Additional parking will also be provided along the rear (north) elevation of the building. Easements: The project site currently has several easements to serve the previous development of the site as a service station. The recommended Conditions of Approval by the Planning Commission include requirements to amend the easement(s) on the property to allow for planting of landscaping in the 20-foot wide pedestrian and vehicular easement north of the project site, maintenance of the 20-foot wide pedestrian and vehicular easement north of the project site for the life of the project, and removal of any easement(s) which are no longer necessary to serve the subject property and/or the adjacent property to the east. Tree Removal Permit/Landscaping: The applicant is requesting that the City Council approve a Tree Removal Permit to allow for the removal of a total of six (6) trees, which include one (1) mature 30-inch diameter California black walnut tree on site and five (5) Monterey pine trees, one of which is dead and the remaining of which are 8.5 inches, 11 inches, 13 inches and 15 inches in diameter, on the adjacent property to the east along the property line. The applicant has obtained approval by the adjacent property owner to the east to remove the pine trees. The justification given by the applicant is that the retention of these trees will restrict the economic enjoyment of the property and create a hardship on the property owner to develop the project as proposed. An arborist report has been submitted by the applicant which recommends that the trees be removed as they are not anticipated to survive the impact of development on the property. - Within the recommended Conditions of Approval by the Planning Commission, there are conditions which will require additional landscaping along the north elevation of the building and along the wall adjacent to the apartment complex to the north, in addition to the streetscape requirements for landscaping along W. Hamilton Avenue. This landscaping is recommended to provide a visual softening of the building from the adjacent apartment complex to the north and from the adjacent restaurant and W. Hamilton Avenue to the east. Additional trees on site as required by the Tree Protection Ordinance for the removal of the existing trees on site will provide further visual softening of the building and will enhance the aesthetic quality of the development. These additional trees will include one (1) 36-inch box tree for the removal of the Walnut tree, and five (5) 24-inch box trees for the removal of the pine trees. Parking: The applicant is requesting approval of a parking layout which will allow a reduction in the required number of parking spaces for a general office use. The Planning Commission City Council Report - November 2, 1998 PD 98-06 expressed support of a reduced parking standard to allow 34 parking spaces on site in lieu of a requirement for 39 parking spaces on site, and to allow a "standard" parking stall dimension which is two (2) feet shorter than the required length (18 feet rather than 20 feet), given that the applicant has demonstrated in a letter that the proposed parking will accommodate the office use. .ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the proposed project subject to additional and/or modified Conditions of Approval. 2. Deny the proposed project. 3. Continue for further review. .FISCAL IMPACTS None Attachments: 1.

Hamilton Avenue Dear Applicant: Please be advised that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 13, 1998, adopted Resolution No. 3188 recommending approval of a Planned Development Permit to allow the construction of a two-story, 8,741 square foot office development on the above referenced property. This project will be considered by the City Council at its meeting of November 2, 1998, for approval. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866-2140. Sincerely, Aki Irani Planner I 70 North First Street · Campbell, California 95OO8.1423 · TEL 408.866.2140 · F^X 408.866.8381 · TDD 408.866.2790 RESOLUTION NO. 3188 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PD 98-06) TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TWO-STORY, 8,741 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 891 W. HAMILTON AVENUE IN A PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. HAROLD LONG. FILE NO. PD 98-06. After notification and public heating, as specified by law, and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the heating was closed. After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to application PD 98-06: 1. The proposed project is located on property with a commercial land use designation under the General Plan. 2. The Planned Development Permit to allow a two-story, 8,741 square foot office development is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed office building, as conditioned, is well designed and architecturally compatible with other developments in the sun'ounding area and is consistent with the development standards for commercial uses. 4. The proposed project is compatible with the adjacent residential and commercial uses. 5. The proposed project will install the streetscape improvements along Hamilton Avenue in compliance with the City's Streetscape Standards. The requirement to maintain the pedestrian and vehicular ingress, egress and right-of-way easement for the life of the development is necessary to maintain access to the exterior parking spaces for the development along the northern portion of the property and to provide additional space as a setback buffer between the proposed commercial development and the adjacent residential property to the north. The proposed landscaping within the pedestrian and vehicular easement along the wall adjacent to the residential property to the north is necessary to provide screening and enhance the appearance of the proposed development from the adjacent residential property to the north. o The removal of the existing walnut tree on-site and the existing pine trees on the adjacent property to the east is necessary as it restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual hardship for the property owner to develop the project as proposed. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3188 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue - Harold Long Page 2 9. The proposed reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project is adequate to serve the proposed project and is consistent with parking standards for office developments in other surrounding cities. 10. The location of support columns for the building, size of the development and proposed office use are circumstances which comprehensively warrant a reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project. 11. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were found. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. 2. The development and uses will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently presented, and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. 5. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial impact on plant or animal life. Further, the applicants are notified as part of this application that they are required to comply with all applicable Codes and Ordinances of the City of Campbell and the State of California which pertain to this application and are not herein specified.

PROJECT DATA Gross Lot Area: Net Lot Area: .65 acres .34 acres 28,500 square feet 14,760 square feet Site Utilization: Building Coverage: Landscape Coverage: Paving Coverage: 54% 20% 26% 7,937 sq. ft. 2,888 sq. ft. 3,935 sq. ft. Floor Area Ratio (FAR): .59 8,741 sq. ft. Parking Provided: Required: 35 parking spaces 39 parking spaces Staff Report- Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Page 2 DISCUSSION Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit (PD 98-06) to construct a new two-story office building on property located at 891 W. Hamilton Avenue. The subject property is located on the northeast comer of W. Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive and is surrounded by an apartment complex to the north, a service station and apartment complexes to the west across Marathon Drive, a restaurant to the east and commercial/retail uses to the south across W. Hamilton Avenue. Background: The project site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The site was previously developed with a service station; however, the service station, including all structures, dispenser islands, canopy, and underground tanks and utilities were demolished and removed from the site in late 1996. The Santa Clara County Central Fire District stated that the removal of all structures on site complied with all Fire Department regulations. The Santa Clara Valley Water District also evaluated the site and found no groundwater contamination, and deemed the site compliant with the Water District regulations. ANALYSIS General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is commercial. The proposed office building is a commercial use and is, therefore, consistent with the General Plan. Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is Planned Development (PD). The Planned Development zoning designation allows for the development of uses consistent with the General Plan with greater flexibility in the arrangement of buildings on site and building design in order to promote a quality development which is consistent and compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed project as conditioned as a commercial office development achieves this goal. Site Plan: The proposed site plan illustrates the development of a two-story, 8,741 square foot office building on the northeast comer of W. Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive served by two (2) driveways along Marathon Drive. One driveway allows access into the proposed building, which provides parking on the first floor of the building. A second driveway access is provided within a pedestrian and vehicular ingress, egress and right-of-way easement in favor of the project site and is located north of the subject property. The second driveway provides access to the proposed parking spaces behind the building along the north elevation of the building. The existing driveway access along W. Hamilton Avenue at the southeast comer of the property, which is shared between the subject property and the adjacent property to the east, will require partial removal and remodeling to serve only the adjacent property to the east (restaurant use). The applicant has submitted a letter dated September 14, 1998, and signed by the adjacent property owners to the east, which agrees to the removal of the easements on the southeast comer of the property and modification to this existing shared driveway. The letter also agrees to allow the installation of trees along the wall adjacent to the apartment complex property to the north for additional screening. Planning Staff has added a condition which requires that the applicant Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Page 3 indicate on a title report that the easements have been amended to incorporate the above- referenced changes to verify that such changes can be accommodated on the easements prior to the issuance of building permits. The proposed setback of the building includes a 10-foot setback along the front of the building facing W. Hamilton Avenue, a 23-foot setback from the rear property line to the north, a 1 O-foot setback to the west along Marathon Drive and a 5-foot setback along the east side of the property facing the restaurant. With the proposed driveway easement north of the project site, there will be a 44-foot setback from the apartment complex property to the north. Planning Staff is supportive of the proposed site plan with the understanding that the 20-foot pedestrian and vehicular easement will be maintained for the life of the development to ensure proper access to the rear parking area for the development, and to serve as an additional setback buffer from the adjacent apartment complex property to the north. Floor Plans and Building Design: The proposed floor plans indicate a 1,947 square foot office area on the first floor of the building facing W. Hamilton Avenue and the remaining 6,794 square feet of office area on the second floor. The main entrance to the building will be provided at the comer of the building along W. Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive adjacent to the stucco tower elements. The proposed colors for the building include a navajo white color for the body of the building, a cherokee blue color for the window and door framing, and an anodized copper color for the concrete tile roof. The design of the proposed office building is a modem-style, two-story, 30-foot high office building with a stucco exterior and concrete tile roofing, and will be accented by two large concrete stucco tower elements protruding from the building. A covered porch will also be provided on the southeast comer of the building accessed from the first floor office space. The two concrete stucco towers will be located near the comer of the building and will be visible from W. Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive. The elevations along both street frontages and for a portion of the east elevation over the covered porch area will be enhanced and articulated by insetting the second floor building wall from the first floor building walls. The articulation along these elevations will be further enhanced by providing a roof element over the first floor portions of the building. However, the remaining east and north (rear) elevations of the building will not be enhanced or provide articulation between the first and second story portions of the building. These elevations show a 22-foot high, two-story wall which will be highly visible from the adjacent apartment buildings north of the project site and from the shopping center to the east. In addition, the first floor portions of the building facing the east and north (rear) elevations will primarily be open and supported by columns, which will allow visibility of the parking spaces from within the building. Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Page 4 Planning Staff is concerned that these unenhanced elevations along the east and north (rear) elevations will be unattractive as viewed from the residential uses to the north and from the commercial uses to the east along W. Hamilton Avenue. Visibility of these unenhanced elevations is greater given that the building will be significantly taller than adjacent buildings. Planning Staff is generally supportive of the design of the building and site plan, but believes that additional enhancements are necessary to mitigate the heightened visibility of the development. These enhancements include installation of landscaping within the easement north of the project site and also along the northern (rear) and eastern elevations of the building to soften the unarticulated two-story high building walls along those elevations. Without these additional landscaping requirements, Staff recommends that the applicant reduce the size of the building and building coverage to provide a landscaping buffer on the property which will provide sufficient screening between the commercial development and the apartment complex property, and revise the plans to soften the appearance of the northern (rear) and eastern elevations of the proposed building. Landscaping/Proposed Tree Removal: The project site currently has one (1) mature 30-inch diameter walnut tree within the northern portion of the property, which will require removal to accommodate the development. There are also five (5) mature pine trees east of the subject property near the property line, which the applicant is requesting, with the adjacent property owner's permission, to remove in conjunction with the development. The applicant is requesting approval to remove these trees on the adjacent property and is intending to install new trees along the east side of the property which will better accommodate the development. The removal of these trees will require approval of a tree removal permit per the recently adopted Tree Protection Ordinance for the City. The tree removal permit is granted by the approval authority for the development project, which in this case is the City Council, since the project requires City Council approval of the Planned Development Permit. The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the tree removal permit to allow the development of the project. If a tree removal permit is granted by the City Council, the applicant will be required at a minimum to plant one (1) 24-inch box tree on-site for each 12- inch to 24-inch diameter tree removed, and one (1) minimum 36-inch box tree on site for each 24-inch or greater diameter tree removed. The applicant will also be required to install the required streetscape improvements for Hamilton Avenue. The streetscape improvements entail installation of a 10-foot landscaped parkway with turf and street trees along W. Hamilton Avenue, a 7-foot wide detached sidewalk and a minimum 10-foot wide landscape buffer behind back of sidewalk with street trees, shrubs, turf and ground cover. The required street tree for Hamilton Avenue is the Evergreen Ash tree, to be planted 40- feet on center in double triangulated rows. Along Marathon Drive, the applicant will be required to provide the Evergreen Ash trees within tree wells in the sidewalk. Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Page 5 In addition to the above-referenced landscaping requirements, Planning Staff also recommends that the applicant obtain approval from the property owner of the pedestrian and vehicular easement to allow the applicant to install trees for screening along the wall adjacent to the apartment complex property to the north. Planning Staff recommends that 24-inch box trees be planted in tree wells, 20 feet on center along the existing wall within the pedestrian and vehicular easement to provide screening. This is based upon standard requirements for commercial developments in commercial zoning districts to provide a minimum 6-foot high masonry wall and a landscape buffer with trees and plants to screen such uses from adjoining residentially zoned properties. Planning Staff also recommends that half-diamond tree planters be installed 20-feet on center along the northern elevation of the building within the parking spaces along the building to further provide relief from the unarticulated two-story building wall facing the apartment complex to the north. Planning Staff has added a condition of approval for the project which requires that the applicant submit a landscape and irrigation plan for review and approval by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of building permits for the project, which specifies the incorporation of the above-referenced landscape proposal. Parking: The applicant is providing a total of 35 parking spaces for the project, which does not meet the City's parking requirements for general office developments. The City's Parking Ordinance requires 1 parking space for each 225 square feet of gross floor area; the applicant would be required to provide 39 parking spaces using this standard. The applicant is requesting a parking adjustment to allow a parking standard of 1 space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. Planning Staff is generally supportive of the applicant's request to use a lesser parking standard of 1 space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area, as it appears that many surrounding cities use similar or more lenient parking requirements for office developments. The Town of Los Gatos requires 1 space for each 250 square feet and the Cities of Santa Clara and Mountain View require 1 space for each 300 square feet. Upon review of the parking layout for the development, the applicant is proposing 22 parking spaces within the building on the first floor and 13 parking spaces outside of the building along the north elevation. In addition to the request for a lesser parking standard, the applicant is also requesting approval of a parking adjustment for parking space dimensions which do not meet the standard parking dimensions of 9 feet by 20 feet. The proposed "standard" parking dimension is 9 feet by 18 feet. Planning Staff is supportive of this request. Planning Staff is concerned with the parking spaces numbered 24, 25 and 26. Their size and location make backing out of the spaces difficult. Staff recommends that one space be removed. Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Pase 6 Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee reviewed the application at its meeting of September 22, 1998 and expressed the following comments: The Committee expressed concern that the proposed parking space widths for spaces abutting the support columns will only be 8 feet 5 inches wide instead of the required 9 feet, given the width and location of the support columns of the building to be located within the parking area. The applicant has stated that the columns will be 14 inches wide, which means that parking spaces on either sides of the columns will have widths reduced by 7 inches each. The Committee also raised concerns that the location of the columns at the end of the parking stall will create maneuvering difficulties, particularly when turning into the spaces. The Committee recommends that the applicant inset the columns a few feet into the length of the parking spaces, so that there is better maneuvering ability available for drivers to turn into parking spaces. The Committee was supportive of the reduced parking standard of 1 space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area, but additionally recommended that one of the three parking spaces, either space number 24, 25 or 26 be removed for better maneuvering within the parking area. o The Committee recommends that high shrubs which would grow a minimum height of 8 feet be planted in the pedestrian and vehicular easement along the wall adjacent to the apartment complex to the north, rather than trees as Planning Staff has recommended. The Committee expressed concern that the roots of trees may uplift and create maintenance problems within the paved easement, and as a result recommends that Oleander bushes or similar type of planting be used to achieve screening purposes. 4. It was recommended that the landscape plan be revised to show the required street trees (Evergreen Ash trees) in tree wells within the sidewalk along Marathon Drive. o It was also recommended that the applicant submit a letter stating that there will be no construction equipment and/or vehicles parked on the property and that there would be no overnight parking of vehicles in the parking lot. The Committee also asked that the applicant state the total number of employees and visitors that are anticipated to use the parking lot. 6. The Committee stated that the applicant should comply with the City's recently adopted Tree Protection Ordinance pertaining to the proposed removal of trees for the development.

Planning Commission Conditions of Approval for PD 98-06 3. Exhibits 4. Initial Study/Environmental Documentation 5. Location Map Approved by: Aki R. Irani, Planner I Sharon Fierro, Senior Planner Attachment #1 PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF FILE NO. PD 98-06 SITE ADDRESS: 891 W. Hamilton Avenue APPLICANT: Harold Long P.C. MEETING: October 13, 1998 Planning Commission Recommended Findings for Approval of a Planned Development Permit to allow the development of a two-story office building The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PD 98-06: 1. The proposed project is located on property with a commercial land use designation under the General Plan. 2. The Planned Development Permit to allow a two-story, 8,741 square foot office development is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. o The proposed office building, as conditioned, is well designed and architecturally compatible with other developments in the surrounding area and is consistent with the development standards for commercial uses. 4. The proposed project is compatible with the adjacent residential and commercial uses. 5. The proposed project will install the streetscape improvements along Hamilton Avenue in compliance with the City's Streetscape Standards. o The requirement to maintain the pedestrian and vehicular ingress, egress and right-of-way easement for the life of the development is necessary to maintain access to the exterior parking spaces for the development along the northern portion of the property and to provide additional space as a setback buffer between the proposed commercial development and the adjacent residential property to the north. The proposed landscaping within the pedestrian and vehicular easement along the wall adjacent to the residential property to the north is necessary to provide screening and enhance the appearance of the proposed development from the adjacent residential property to the north. o The removal of the existing walnut tree on-site and the existing pine trees on the adjacent property to the east is necessary as it restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual hardship for the property owner to develop the project as proposed. ° The proposed reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project is adequate to serve the proposed project and is consistent with parking standards for office developments in other surrounding cities. Findings - Planning Commission Meeting of October 13, 1998 PD 98-06 - 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Page 2 10. The location of support columns for the building, size of the development and proposed office use are circumstances which comprehensively warrant a reduction in the number of required parking spaces and in the required parking stall sizes for the project. 11. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were found. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. 2. The development and uses will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently presented, and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. 5. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial impact on plant or animal life. Attachment//2 PLANNING COMMISSION CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR FILE NO.

Hamilton Avenue Campbell, CA Dear Shig and June, Enclosed is a copy of the set of preliminary plans which we have submitted to the city of Cambell for planning department approval. I am writing to you at this time to make the following requests: 1. ELIMINATION OF EASEMENTS.: On Sheet C-1 you will find four triangular areas which I have colored. The two red ones are on my property, the two yellow ones are on your property. It appears that these are easments were granted primarily for the convenience of union oil. I no longer see any need for the existence of these easements. If you are in agreement I will have the proper paperwork drawn up to have them eliminated. In doing this I would also want to rebuild the west side of the driveway in to your property off of West Hamilton. Your driveway would still be over 20 feet wide. 2. NEW TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY.: The city of Campbell has asked me to plant 4 trees along the north side of the piece of your property that runs behind my property. I have marked these trees in yellow on both sheets L-1 and C-1. Since this will effectively narrow the width of this alley I will pave the northern 5 feet of my property so that the driving area will end up being 25 feet wide instead of the present 20 feet wide. This will offset the effect of the trees narrowing the drive area. If you will grant this request I will repave the entire 120 feet of your property which is the area we are talking about in this paragraph. 3. REMOVAL OF PINE TREES.: The 5 pine trees on the west side of your property are rather unsightly. If you have no objections I would like to remove these trees and replace them with a different specimen. I would also like to extend the line of trees further down this property line towards Hamilton Avenue. /~eoc~quo#er$: 310 W.

Hamilton Avenue RECEIVED CiTY OF CA,UP, ELL PLANNING DE . Dear Aki, The above referenced building is going to be Largo Concrete, Inc.'s corporate headquarters. By the nature of our business we are a low density operation. The minimum size for each engineer's office is 10' x 13'. They need this room to unroll and compare plans for estimating and project managing purposes. As a result there will be a maximum of 25 people working on the second floor. The first floor will be used by our detailing department. There will be approximately 5 people working in this space preparing drawings for the foremen to use in the field. This means that we will have a maximum total of 30 people working on this site. With 35 parking spaces there would be 5 spaces left for visitors. This assumes that everyone in the office is at work when there are visitors which I have never seen happen. Our design was based on 250 square feet of office space per car which in many areas is the industry standard. I understand that the Campbell standard is 225 square feet per car but I hope that you will make an acceptation for our building since we are going to be occupying it ourselves. It has also been mentioned that you feel that parking spaces #24 through #26 should be reduced fi:om 3 cars to 2 cars. I do not understand your concern here. If the spaces are not wide enough for cars then I would be concerned myself. However, they are wide enough and the only question is how do you get in and out of them. Admittedly it takes a few more moves than getting into the spaces which are perpendicular to these but it really isn't that difficult. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let us live with this matter and have the three parking spaces. Sincerely, Largo Concrete, Inc/'~ Harol.d 1~. Long / President / HDL/cmo K:/CI.

BACKGROUND Name and Address of Project Proponent: Mr. Harold D. Long, President of Largo Concrete, Inc. 310 W. Hamilton Avenue Suite 203 Campbell, CA 95008 Name of Project: PD 98-06 Two-story office building Project Address: 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Campbell, CA 95008 Project Description: The project consists of the development of a two-story, 8,741 square foot office building on the subject site. The project requires approval of a Planned Development Permit (PD 98-06) to allow the development of the office building. Environmental Setting: The project site is located on the north side of West Hamilton Avenue, on the northeast comer of W. Hamilton Avenue and Marathon Drive. The site is located within a PD (Planned Development) zoning district and is currently vacant and undeveloped. The site was previously developed with a service station; however, the service station, including all structures, dispenser islands, canopy, and underground tanks and utilities were demolished and removed in late 1996. The Santa Clara County Central Fire District stated that the removal of all structures on site complied with all Fire Department regulations*. The Santa Clara Valley Water District also evaluated the site and found no groundwater contamination as of an evaluation in January of 1997, at which time the site was deemed compliant with SCVWD regulations**. There is a large 30-inch diameter walnut tree within the northern portion of the property, which will require approval of a tree removal permit by the City in compliance with the City's Tree Protection Regulations (Chapter 21.56 of the Campbell Municipal Code) prior to removal. The proposed location of the office building will require removal of the tree. There are no other trees or vegetation on the site; however, there are five (5) mature pine trees on the adjacent property to the east which are along the property line. Initial Study Page 2 891 W. Hamilton - PD 98-06 September 24, 1998 The site is surrounded by a service station to the west across Marathon Drive, a restaurant to the east, apartment units to the north and retail commercial uses to the south across West Hamilton Avenue.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION Introduction: The following evaluation has been prepared to determine if the project may have a significant impact on the environment. For the purposes of this study, a significant impact shall mean a substantial or potentially substantial change in the physical environment. Evaluations: An "A" rating indicates that based upon the available information, the environmental coordinator has determined that there will be no impact on the environment. A "B" rating indicates that the impact will be insignificant. A "C" rating indicates that a specific change to the project (mitigation measures) could reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. A "D" rating indicates that the impact may or will be significant. Discussion: A description of the proposed mitigation measures and the factual data or evidence used to reach conclusions regarding impact significance is attached following the Determination in Section III.

Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as earthquakes, X [--I [--] [--1 landslides, mudslides, ground failure, or similar hazards No geophysical impacts will occur as a result of this project. According to the Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Lowney Associates for the proposed project site, the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and is not near any known earthquake fault. The nearest earthquake fault is approximately 3 miles away to the southwest. With respect to soil conditions, samples of the soil were taken and it was found that the subsurface soils were stiff to hard; therefore, it is determined that the probability of ground movement at the site is low. Initial Study Page 4 891 W. Hamilton - PD 98-06 September 24, 1998 Although the project site is currently vacant and undeveloped, the site was previously developed as a service station. However, in late 1996, all structures in conjunction with the service station use were demolished and removed. With respect to the new development, the project will be required to comply with all City of Campbell Building Code Standards to reduce the potential for geophysical hazards. Be Air.

Hamilton - PD 98-06 September 24, 1998 considered significant since the development will be required to comply with the City codes and standard conditions to provide for proper drainage on-site; therefore, no additional mitigation measures are necessary. In addition, the site was previously developed as a service station prior to demolition which provided impermeable coverage on the lot. It is not anticipated that the proposed development will provide significantly more impermeable coverage on the lot than the previous development or any other similar commercial developments in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed office building will cover approximately 50% of the site, with an additional 32% of the site to be paved. Approximately 18% of the site will be landscaped which will allow for filtration and percolation of run-off. De Plant-life and Wildlife.

The walnut tree is located adjacent to the driveway access which is along the northern property line. There are also mature pine trees on the adjacent property to the east. There are no endangered species or habitats of plant life and/or wildlife on or adjacent to this site; however, the City does have a Tree Protection Ordinance which requires that any trees with a diameter of 12 inches or more be retained on site, unless a Tree Removal Permit is obtained to remove a tree. Any trees which are permitted to be removed will be required to meet the tree replacement requirements per the City of Campbell Tree Protection Ordinance. Initial Study Page 6 891 W.

Hamilton Avenue), and to the south (retail commercial businesses). To the north is a multiple-family residential complex. The proposed project is consistent with the surrounding uses in the neighborhood and will not impact the present land uses in the area. The proposed project as an office use requires a total of 39 parking spaces (1 space for each 225 square feet of gross floor area) per the City's Parking and Loading Ordinance; however, the applicant is proposing a total of 35 parking spaces, using a parking ratio standard of 1 parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. Planning Staff has reviewed the application and is supportive of the reduced parking standards, with the additional recommendation to delete one (1) proposed parking space to better accommodate maneuverability within the parking area. Staff finds that the proposed reduction of parking spaces to accommodate the project is considered insignificant, given that the project will entail only four (5) less parking spaces than the required number of spaces. In addition, Planning Staff has surveyed surrounding cities for parking requirements for office uses, and finds that many cities typically use standards of 1 space/250 square feet of gross floor area or 1 spaces/300 square feet of gross floor area, which require less parking than the City's parking requirements. Therefore, Staff has determined that the provision of 34 parking spaces on site will accommodate the proposed office use. K. Is the project consistent with: Yes No 1. The General Plan X [-] 2.

The applicant will be required as a part of the standard requirements for the development to install street improvements to serve the project and neighborhood. This includes dedication of additional right-of-way, replacement of sidewalk and driveways, installation of street lights and underground utilities, installation of landscape planters with irrigation, and installations of traffic signs and striping as required by the City Engineer. The utilities for this project including water, power, storm drainage and sewage disposal will tie into existing service mains and will not require new or altered service systems.

Hamiltion Avenue, #203 Campbell, CA 95008 Re: Tree evaluation @ vacant lot, comer of Marathon Drive and Hamilton Avenue Dear Mr. Long: At your re.quest, I have evaluated six trees located at the above referenced vacant lot.. This report serves as a. summary of my evaluation, gives recommendations/or the care of the trees, and an appraised doIlar value for each tree. The trees were not climbed and all of the evalUation was done from the ground.. Five photographs are included as visual aids. For the purposes of this report, the north-south delineation is parallel with Marathon Drive while the east- west delineation is parallel with Hamilton Avenue. Summary of Evaluation There are two species of trees on the property: One California black walnut (Juglans hindsii) tree and five Monterey. pine (Pi'nus r.adiata) trees. Generally, California black walnut trees .are considered poorly tolerant and Monterey pine trees are considered moderately tolerant of development impacts (Trees and Development, Matheny & Clark, 1998, page 172 and 174) which would include root loss, and/or soil cuts and fills. If tree protection zones cannot be delineated as outlined below than all six trees should be removed. The Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) . _ The tree protection zone is defined as the area adjacent to the mainstem ota tree which should not be disturbed by excavation of soil, the application of soil .. fill, compaction, or the storage and/6r disposal of construction materials. For the t[..ees on thi_sproperty I have determined that the TPZ is equal to one times the. diameter ot the ~unk (measured in inches) at four feet above ground line or the aggregate sum ot the multi-leadered trees (Trees and Development,Matheny & _ .Clark, 1998, page 7.4) for the Monterey pine trees and 1.25 t~mes the diameter ot the trunk for the Cahfomia black walnut tree. Appraised Value . The appraised value of a tree is determined by using a formula developed by thee .Council of Tree and_.Landscape Appraisers. The fiicto, rs involved are the size ot the tree, species, condition, and location. The size of the tree is typicallythe diameter of the trunk measured four and one half feet above ground line.

Contribution and placement are. .usually eomplimen.tary in that .the better theplacement the higher the epntribution I~ut in the case of the trees on this property they are placed poprly' but they are the only trees in a barren landscape so they have a high contril~ution rating. California black walnut.tree (photo 1-2) This is a multistem~ tree that has seven stems that appear to have sprouted from a stump at a height pt approximately 18 inches above grade..This tree. could have had an English walnut graft, which died. There is asplialt within two teet of the stump on the north side of the tree. On the south side there is a concrete block adjacent to a root and a soil depression. Roots on the west and east sides are damaged (photo 2). Tile diameters of the stems at four feet above ground line are 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 8, and 5.5 for an aggregate sum of 51 inches The diameter of .the stump is 30 inches measured at 12 inches above grade and this is the diameter that was calculated for the tree appraisal as per the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 8th Edition, 1992 The TPZ would need to include the area within 30 feet of the trunk of the tree. The foliar spread of the tree measured north-south is 38 feet and east-west is 40 feet. .T.he root crown of the tree is at a higher elevation than the surrounding soil anti the tree has suffered significant root damage in the past and will suffer additional significant root damage during the development of the property. The.tree is in poor structural condition. The appraised dollar value f6r this tree is $4,000.00 Monterey pine trees (photo 3-5) The five Monterey pine trees are numbered one to five with number one being the northernmost tree {tree at the far left in photos 3 and 4). Thes~e trees are on the neighbor's prope.rt2y but will be affected'by the development pi' the property and are included in this report. The diameters of thefour of the trees are 15 and 13 (twin leadered), 11~ 8.5, and 16.5 measured at four feet above ground line. The southernmost tree is dead and the diameter was not measured. The TPZ for the four trees, fi.om north to south, would need to include the area within 28, 11, 8.5, and 16.5 feet from the trunks of each tree. There is no evidence of boring beetles present. The trees have asphalt over (~argo Concrete Inc., Marathon Drive and Hamilton Avenue ctober 13, 1998 Page 3 their roots on the east side and ve..ry, compact soil on the west side. The four trees are in fair condition. Their atmraised dollar values are $2,700.00, $1,100.00, $1,000.00, and $1,500.00 ¥or a total of $6,300.00 Conclusions I do not believe the trees on this site would survive the im~pact of the development of the property b.eeause a sigl~i_'fieant amount ot roots would be removed, damaged, or stressed within the TPZ. I recommend replacing all of the trees. Please do not hesitate to call with questions.

Re: 891 W. Hamilton Avenue Dear Aki, The above referenced building is going to be Largo Concrete, Inc.'s corporate headquarters. By the nature of our business we are a low density operation. The minimum size for each engineer's office is 10' x 13'. They need this room to unroll and compare plans for estimating and project managing purposes. As a result there will be a maximum of 25 people working on the second floor. The first floor will be used by our detailing department. There will be approximately 5 people working in this space preparing drawings for the foremen to use in the field. This means that we will have a maximum total of 30 people working on this site. With 35 parking spaces there would be 5 spaces left for visitors. This assumes that everyone in the office is at work when there are visitors which I have never seen happen. Our design was based on 250 square feet of office space per car which in many areas is the industry standard. I understand that the Campbell standard is 225 square feet per car but I hope that you will make an acceptation for our building since we are going to be occupying it ourselves. It has also been mentioned that you feel that parking spaces #24 through #26 should be reduced from 3 cars to 2 cars. I do not understand your concern here. If the spaces are not wide enough for cars then i would be concerned myself. However, they are wide enough and the only question is how do you get in and out of them. Admittedly it takes a few more moves than getting into the spaces which are perpendicular to these but it really isn't that difficult. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let us live with this matter and have the three parking spaces. Sincerely, Largo Cgncrete, Inc/~ President HDL/cmo Heodquorters: 310 W.

Hamilton Avenue Campbell, CA Dear Shig and June, Enclosed is a copy of the set of preliminary plans which we have submitted to the city of Cambell for planning department approval. I am writing to you at this time to make the following requests: ELIMINATION OF EASEMENTS: On Sheet C-1 you will find four triangular areas which I have colored. The two red ones are on my property, the two yellow ones are on your property. It appears that these are easments were granted primarily for the convenience of union oil. I no longer see any need for the existence of these easements. If you are in agreement I will have the proper paperwork drawn up to have them eliminated. In doing this I would also want to rebuild the west side of the driveway in to your property off of West Hamilton. Your driveway would still be over 20 feet wide. NEW TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY: The city of Campbell has asked me to plant 4 trees along the north side of the piece of your property that runs behind my property. I have marked these trees in yellow on both sheets L-1 and C-1. Since this will effectively narrow the width of this alley I will pave the northern 5 feet of my property so that the driving area will end up being 25 feet wide instead of the present 20 feet wide. This will offset the effect of the trees narrowing the drive area. If you will grant this request I will repave the entire 120 feet of your property which is the area we are talking about in this paragraph. o REMOVAL OF PINE TREES: The 5 pine trees on the west side of your property are rather unsightly. If you have no objections I would like to remove these trees and replace them with a different specimen. I would also like to extend the line of trees further down this property line towards Hamilton Avenue. Headquarters: 310 W.

Hamilton Avenue Dear Mr. Heid: It was a pleasure to speak to you today regarding your questions about landscaping requirements for the Office building project proposed to be constructed by Largo Concrete. Please find enclosed a copy of the City's Streetscape Standards which outlines the requirements for streetscape improvements along Hamilton Avenue in conjunction with new developments. For the proposed two-story office project to be located at 891 W. Hamilton Avenue, the streetscape improvement requirements will entail installation of a 10-foot wide landscape parkway with turf and designated street trees, a 7-foot detached sidewalk, and a 10- foot wide landscape buffer with designated street trees and a mixture of turf, groundcover and shrubs. The designated street tree for Hamilton Avenue is the Evergreen Ash tree (Fraxinus Uhdei) which is to be planted 40-feet on center in double triangulated rows. Along Marathon Drive, the City will require installation of street trees in tree wells to be planted 40-feet on center. The street trees likely to be designated along Marathon Drive are Evergreen Ash trees to match the street trees across the street on Marathon Drive. Should you have any questions regarding the above-mentioned matter or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Community Development Department at (408) 866-2142.

Dear Steve, In early March of this year when I saw that our office needs were expanding I contacted Peter Eakland at traffic engineering and I asked him if he could temporarily change the signs on C arlyn from "Residential Parking" to "Two Hour Parking 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday". He said that that was a reasonable request and would have these signs changed within two weeks. Over four months have gone by with many additional requests and additional promises to get the signs changed but nothing has happened. Finally Peter wrote me the attached July 13, 1998 letter and encouraged me verbally to go ahead and park on Carlyn. To help alleviate our office space needs I put the temporary trailer in the parking lot. To make up for the loss of parking spaces taken by this trailer and to assure the spaces will always be available for the patients in the dental office I have asked several of our employees to park off site. They have been doing this since earlier this year. They have not been parking on Carlyn but in other unrestricted locations. The purpose of this letter is to ask permission to leave our trailer in place for approximately 9 months until our new office building at 891 W. Hamilton Avenue is completed and we can move into it. If you will honor this request we will of course withdrawal our request to park on Carlyn and satisfy our parking requirements in another way. I would greatly appreciate if you would give this request serious consideration and at the same time expedite the approval process on our new office building so that the time to leave the trailer in place will be as short as possible.

At that meeting he in fact told me that it was a minor request and that it would be taken care of in two weeks. What I am asking for is a temporary change of the sign.q on Carlyn Avenue. These signs currently read "Residential Parking Only". After my meeting with Peter he suggested that the signs be changed to read "Two Hour Parking Between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM". The reason for the request is as follows. Largo Concrete is growing rapidly and has more people working in the office than we can provide parking spaces for. To help alleviate this problem I am having some of the people park at the Best store and walk the two blocks to the office. One of our other tenants Pentech Financial is also growing rapidly and is in need of more parking places than I can provide them. The real problem is with the last tenant, the dentist. Their patients are reporting that they cannot find parking and have in fact let~ the practice became of the unavailability of parking. In my meeting with Peter he told me that the ''Residential Parking Only" were not enforceable and that I should tell the dentist to advise their patients to park their anyway. I am not comfortable, nor is the dentist comfortable, asking their patients to park in and area that is marked no parking. To solve this problem I am planning to build a new office building at 891 W. Hamilton and move Largo into that facility. Pentech financial will then expand into Largo's current space and the problem should be solved. To help us in the interim I would appreciate it very much if the signs in front of the first two houses on each side of the street going south from Hamilton could have the signs changed to "Two Hour Parking Between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday Through Friday". Would you please call me and let me know if this request can be accommodated and if so when. C ~,4SOFFICE~WINWORD~HELMS DOC 310 W.

In addition I have telephoned him and come to see him many times to see if our request could be accomplished. One thing that I forgot to mention is that the parking problem was further compounded when Hamilton was restriped and the bicycle lane was placed against the curb in front of our building. This took away all ofthe parking that we had in front of the building. At the time this was done I asked Peter if he would change the signs on Carlyn and he said he would consider it but of course nothing ever happened. Sincerely, President C: ~91S0 FIqCI~WlNWO ILI~tlT.

Hamilton Avenue Dear Ms. Irani, I am surprised by your supervisors concem for our design and his request that we eliminate some of the parking and replace it with office space on the ground floor. This building is to be our corporate headquarters and as you can see by the attached preliminary floor plan we need the entire 9,750 square feet. To satisfy your supervisors request I assume that he would want us to eliminate the six parking spaces at the front of the building. This would provide 1,560 square feet of office space which would be very difficult to lease because of its small size. Also, any restrooms for this space would be on the second floor, making it less attractive. Attached are some photographs that I took of our current building at 310 W. Hamilton Avenue. This building which we own is considered by many to be the most attractive building on this street. At this site the parking is visible on both sides and part of the elevation is a solid brick wall which hides the parking behind it. This is a very typical parking arrangement. In our new building at 891 W. Hamilton we are proposing to hide all of the parking by placing it inside of the building. The elevation which I think would be very attractive from both Hamilton and Marathon and especially from the comer is designed to look like an office building on both levels. The only solid walls that we will have are the shear walls which are needed for seismic resistance. By this letter I formally request a meeting with your supervisor to discuss these concepts with him. If it is his desire I will also have the architect attend with me.

Enclosed are copies of that plan showing space for 29 people in 9,750 square feet. Since we have 39 parking spaces in our preliminary plan this leaves 10 spaces available for visitors. Hopefully this will justify our request. Sincerely, HDL/cmo Enclosures K:\CHARLOTTXHAL\HALEY 1 .DOC 310 W.

Tuesday is the dentists heaviest day and we try hard to keep spaces available for them. Mr. Klockman came out and threatened her and demanded that she move her car from in front of his house. I am really getting tired of putting up with this man and his threats to my employees. I would hope that you and the police department could straighten out this problem by changing the signs that we have been talking about since March 9th of this year. Please feel free to stop by my office and talk to Miehelle about this incident if it will help you resolve this matter. Sincerely, President HDL/cmo K:'~CHA R. LO~ L~.A KLAN D DOC 310 W.

Hamilton Avenue Pre-Application Development Review Dear Mr. Haley, Enclosed are six copies of the drawings for the above referenced project. This building will be for Largo Concrete's corporate headquarters. We have outgrown the facility that we are currently in and are very anxious to proceed with construction of this building so that we can occupy it as soon as possible. One day when you were out I came to the counter and explained to one of the other planners that we are a very low density operation. The typical engineers office is 10 feet by 13 feet. This is so that they can spread out plans and have plenty of room to work on them. In addition we plan to have a large conference room, a kitchen area and a large plan storage area. Because of the type of operation that we have I ask if the planning department would consider allowing us to build 250 square feet per car rather that 225 square feet per car. Our current plan shows 39 parking spaces. Multiplying this times 250 square feet per car would allow us to build 9,750 square feet. Dividing this by 225 square feet per car would require 43.3 cars. The planner I talked to said that she felt that since the difference was only 4.3 cars that if we could substantiate our usage with a detailed floor plan that she would seriously consider our request. The attached plans show the 8,775 square feet of building which could be built at 225 square feet per car and the additional 975 square feet as a dotted line on the rear of the property. I hope that you will process this application and give it your tentative approval without waiting for the floor plan since this will take some time to develop. At my meeting with the architect today I asked him to start on the detailed floor plan. As soon as this is developed I will submit it to you for additional review. On the assumption that we do not have the legal right to park at the rear of our building using access from the neighbors 20 foot wide strip I have entered negotiations with the owner of that property.

Hamilton Avenue Suite 203 · Campbell, CA 95008 · (408) 378-4404 · Fax: 378-4514 License #592909 Yesterday I concluded negotiations with the owners to purchase the property from them. Their attorney will draw up the papers when he returns from vacation on June 22nd. The document will call for me to purchase the 20 foot by 120 foot strip behind 891 W. Hamilton at this time and to purchase the balance when their tenant's lease on the restaurant expires. I will get that document to you as soon as it is finalized so that you will know that I have the legal right to enter my property from the rear. If you need any additional information for your review would you please call me. Sincerely, Largo Co~ncrete, Inc,~/f President HDL/cmo Enclosures K: \CHARLOTT~IA L~q3.LEY. DOC ' .LARGO Concrete Inc.

He said that they have lost two patients this week. The first patient they lost because they have not been able to find parking on the property for each of their last appointments and therefore do not find it worthwhile to come to this office. The other patient left because they could not find parking and chose to park in front of Mr. Ex~,4n Klockman's property even though the signs say residential parking only and he came out and threatened them with damage to their ear if they did not move it. You and I have been talking about this problem since March 9th. I really need your _ immediate attention to this matter to help me satisfy this parking problem for my tenant.

Your proposed solution to the problem was that the signs be changed from "Residential Parking" to "Two Hour Parking" in fi:ont of the first two houses south of Hamilton on each side of Carlyn. You indicated that it would take about two weeks to have the signs changed. When we talked three weeks later on March 31 st you indicated that it would be another two weeks before the signs could be changed. It has now been an additional three weeks and the signs are still not changed. I would appreciate it very much if you could get this change made or call me and explain if it is not going to be possible. Also, when we met on March 9th I asked you to take a look at the light used for the school crossing on Hamilton. I think the correct words to describe your reaction are that you were shocked at how long the light stayed red. I took the reaction as an indication that you were going to do something to change the light. As near as I can tell it still stays red for the same length of time. I would also appreciate a call fi:om you to learn if the length of the red light is-going to be changed or if you have not been able to do that.
