Re: Building Permit No. BLD2003-168
940 Crockett A venue
Dear Applicant:
The Planning Division has reviewed your plan submittal for a residential to an existing
single-family residence on the referenced property located at 940 Crockett A venue. The
following issues need to be addressed prior to a clearance from the Planning Division for
the issuance of a building permit:
1. Site Plan:
The site plan indicates an extensive amount of paving in the front of the residence and
along the north property line. This paving will preclude the planting of privacy
landscaping along the street frontage and the north property line. Please delete paving.
2. Tree Protection:
Please provide a note regarding the retention and protection of the Magnolia tree in the
front yard. A detail of a typical protective fence is enclosed.
3. Elevations:
Please provide a consistent fascia width between the first and second floor.
It is also recommended that the decorative vent over the enter porch be consistent with
the other decorative vent on the residence.
4. Tree Disclosure Statement:
Please complete the enclosed Tree Disclosure Statement and submit with revised plans.
If you have any questions regarding these items, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(408)866-2144 or via email attimh@citvofcamobell.com.

Re: Residential Addition. 940 Crockett A venue - PRE2002.22
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Crowe:
The Planning Division has reviewed your revised submittal for a residential addition on the referenced property. The overall
structure complies with development standards of the R-I-6 Zoning District in which the property is located. The proposed
setbacks, lot coverage and floor area ratio are consistent with these development standards. The property is also located in the San
Tomas Neighborhood Plan area which requires new and remodeled residences to be compatible with the area.
Elevations: The revised elevations address the following changes:
1) Utilize high sill windows on the side elevations as indicated on the attached elevations. High sill windows are a
minimum of 60 inches from sill to finish floor. This will reduce potential privacy impacts to the adjacent properties (see
plans).
2) Provide hipped roof forms on the front and rear elevation to reduce the visual mass of the second story (see plans).
3) Reduce size of deck at rear of house to reduce potential privacy impacts and visually tie into the roof form (see plans).
4) Introduce a gable over the second story family room to break-up the long second story roof line. This elevation will be
visible from Elam Avenue and needs some visual interest (see plans).
It is recommended that both gables at the street elevation have similar return details and that the railing and pillar design have
simple shapes.
Underground Utilities: Your request to maintain overhead utility services to the residence has been granted. This waiver has been
granted do to the cost of bore and jagging underneath Crockett Avenue and the likelihood that other services will be
undergrounded in the neighborhood.
If you have any questions regarding these items, please contact me at (408) 866-2144.

Re: Residential Addition - 940 Crockett A venue - PRE2002-22
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Crowe:
The Planning Division has reviewed your plan submittal for a residential addition on the referenced
property. The overall structure complies with development standards of the R-I-6 Zoning District in which
the property is located. The proposed setbacks, lot coverage and floor area ratio are consistent with these
development standards. The property is also located in the San Tomas Neighborhood Plan area which
requires new and remodeled residences to be compatible with the area. Consequently, staff is recommending
some architectural modifications to better integrate your project into this neighborhood.
The following issues need to be addressed prior to submittal to the Building Division for permits:
1) Tree Protection Plan: Please provide a tree disclosure statement indicating no protected trees will be
removed with the proposed addition. Protected trees include redwood, cedar, oak or ash trees with a
diameter of more than 12 inches. Retention of the Magnolia tree in the front yard is encouraged. (form
enclosed)
2) Site Plan: It is recommended that the amount of paving be reduced on the north side of the house.. The
paving of the north side of the residence appears excessive in that no doorways or access are provided
on this side of the building, consequently, paving on the north side of the residence is not recommended.
3) Elevations: It is recommended that the following changes be made to the elevations:
a) Utilize high sill windows on the side elevations as indicated on the attached elevations.
High sill windows are a minimum of 60 inches from sill to finish floor. This will reduce
potential privacy impacts to the adjacent properties (see plans).
b) Provide hipped roof forms on the front and rear elevation to reduce the visual mass of the
second story (see plans)
c) Reduce size of deck at rear of house to reduce potential privacy impacts and visually tie
into the roof form (see plans).
d) Introduce a gable over the second story family room to break-up the long second story
roof line. This elevation will be visible from Elam Avenue and needs some visual interest
(see plans).
