Dear Mr. Haley:
I had previously been working with Aki Irani regarding the development planned for 122 Shelley
Avenue. I live on the east side of the project, at 134 Shelley Avenue. Aki had given me her
assurance that every effort would be made to plant a tree where the existing plum tree is at 122
Shelley - even if it required adding more inches to the proposed green strip. It is very important
to me that a tree be placed in this location as it is the only source of shade for my home which is
practically all windows on the west side, and it would provide a modicum of privacy for both me
and the new property owners and would provide a noise buffer for the increased number of cars
going in and out the driveway. I do not have anything written from Aki, however, I have saved
her message on my answering machine which basically states that both the city and the property
owner will work with me on this.
I know that this is probably a small thing that can easily fall through the cracks, but it greatly
affects the quality of life at my home. I ask that you please keep me posted on this issue. My
home telephone number is 408-371-2530, and my work telephone number is 408-369-2922. E-
mail is mindyfoos@aol.com.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

3. The proposed massing and design is consistent with other developments in the surrounding area
and is consistent with the development standards for residential uses.
4. The provision of CC&Rs requiring the formation of a homeowner's association is necessary to

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERl\lINA TION
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 Zone Change (pLN2000-32) from an R-M-S (Multiple
Family Residential) zoning district to a Planned Development (PD) zoning district, a Tentative
Subdivision Map (pLN2000-33), a Planned Development Permit (pLN2000-34) and a Tree
Removal Permit (pLN2000-38) to allow the development of a five (5) unit townhouse project on
property located at 122 Shelley Avenue.
,-
The Planning Commission at its meeting of April 11, 2000, forwarded a recommendation to the
City Council by a 3-2-2 vote to approve the proposed project with the attached conditions of
approval. During the Planning Commission meeting, neighbors adjacent to the east and west of
the project site voiced concerns regarding the loss of privacy from their residences due to the
proposed removal of trees on site and the lack of a landscape buffer along the east property line
adjacent to the proposed driveway. As a result, the Planning Commission recommended
additional conditions of approval to move the two residential units, closest to Shelley Avenue,
back a few feet to accommodate the installation of a,minimum 2-foot wide landscape strip along
the east property line and to require that the applicant make every effort to retain existing
fruitless mulberry trees along the east property line within the landscape strip adjacent to the

driveway. The site is currently developed with a single-family residence and a detached garage
which will be removed in conjunction with construction of the project.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Low
Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre). The proposed project will be developed
at a density of 10.42 units per gross acre, which is consistent with the General Plan.
Zoning Change: The subject site is currently zoned R-M-~ (Multiple Family Residential) and
would allow a maximum of six (6) apartment units to be constructed on site. The zone change to
a PD zone does not affect the maximum density allowance for the property, but does allow for
the separate ownership of units on individual lots. The project is developing five (5) townhouse
units.
Tentative Parcel Map: The project will require approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map to allow
the creation of five (5) residential lots and a common lot for the common driveway access and
common landscape areas. The common lot will be located along the east side of the subject
property.
--
Planned Development Permit: The Planned Development Permit will allow for the construction
of a five (5) unit townhouse development, incorporating the site plan and elevations as part of the
PD Permit approval. The site plan indicates two (2) separate two-story residential structures; the
building facing Shelley Avenue along the west side of the subject property consists of three (3)
units and the building located at the rear of the subject property consists of two (2) units. The
townhouse development will provide a total of 18 parking spaces, including 10 covered parking
spaces and 8 uncovered parking spaces, and will be accessed by a common 20-foot wide
driveway.
Tree Removal Permit application: The subject property currently has several mature trees on
site. The applicant has submitted a certified arborist report and a Tree Removal Permit
application to remove a total of nine (9) trees to accommodate development of the project. There
are a total of 19 trees existing on site. The arborist report indicates that the trees proposed to be
removed are either in poor condition or are undersized and not protected by the City's Tree
Protection Ordinance. During the Planning Commission meeting, one of the current residents at
122 Shelley Avenue spoke at the meeting and stated that the trees proposed to be removed are
home to many birds. In addition, the City received a letter from Ms. Lisa Karpinski requesting
that trees not be removed ifmethods are available to treat the diseased portions of the trees.

Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Glen Cahoon, on
behalf of Shelley Properties, LLC, for approval of a Zone Change
(PLN2ooo-32) to change the zoning of property from R-M-S
(Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development);
approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2000-33) to create five
parcels; approval of a Planned Development Permit (PLN2ooo-34) to
allow the construction of five townhomes; and approval of a Tree
Removal Permit (PLN2ooo-38) on property located at 122 Shelley
A venue in an R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) Zoning District.
A Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. Tentative
City Council Meeting Date: May 2, 2000.
Ms. Aki Irani, Planner I, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicants are seeking approval of a Zone Change, Tentative Subdivision
Map, Planned Development Permit and Tree Removal Permit, as well as adoption of a
Negative Declaration for a five-unit townhome project at 122 Shelley Avenue.
· Stated that the project site is on the south side of Shelley A venue, west of Bascom A venue
and East of White oaks Road.
· The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and is being developed at a density
of 10.4 units per gross acre.
· The proposed zone change from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned
Development) would allow five townhome units on individually owned lots.
· Staff recommends a Negative Declaration, as there are no significant impacts from this
project.
· The proposal includes two two-story buildings, one containing three units, which would face
Shelley A venue and the other containing two units at the rear of the site. A 20-foot common
interior driveway would provide access. There would be common front and side landscape
areas.
· Included is a Tree Removal Permit application to remove nine trees. A certified arborist's
report states that these Pine and Cedar trees are in poor condition. Other trees are undersized
and not protected under the Tree Ordinance. A replanting plan is required per the Tree
Removal Permit. Staff advised that a letter was received from a concerned citizen asking that
an attempt be made to save some of the trees.
· Advised that 18 parking spaces are provided, 3.5 per unit, which meets the City's Parking
Ordinance.
· The Parcel Map creates six lots, five residential lots and one common driveway and
landscape area lot.
· Added that a Homeowner's Association would be formed.
· Staff recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation of approval to Council
for this project.
Chairperson Gibbons asked if additional information about the proposed windows for the project
is available.
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 7
Ms. Aki Irani advised that at this time added information about the specific windows is not
available.
Chairperson Gibbons wondered if the windows depicted on the drawings were actually those
proposed or were simply generic windows.
Ms. Aki Irani answered that the windows depicted were actually those being proposed for the
project.
Commissioner Francois presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting as
follows:
. This project was reviewed by SARC on March 28, 2000.
. SARC was supportive of the project with the requirement of added decorative paving in the
front of each garage and on the common driveway.
Chairperson Gibbons asked whether that requirement has been met.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that the requirement for decorative paving has been added to the
Conditions of Approval but the plans have not yet been resubmitted depicting that addition.
Chairperson Gibbons opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No.4.
Mr. Glen Cahoon, Applicant's Representative, 296 Kansas Way, Fremont:
. Advised Chairperson Gibbons that the windows he proposes to use are International Vinyl
Windows. These windows look like wood but are made of vinyl for easy maintenance. They
do not have to be painted.
. Added that they have not yet submitted landscaping plans which will depict the required
decorative paving in the driveway and in front of the garages. Said that they are willing to
make that addition at the request of SARC.
Chairperson Gibbons asked about a letter received which seems to state that a tree has already
been removed from the site.
Mr. Glen Cahoon advised that, to his knowledge, no trees have been removed to date.
Ms. Theresa LaVoy, 112 Shelley Avenue:
. Advised that she lives adjacent to the project site in a single family residence, one of the only
single family homes remaining in the neighborhood.
. Expressed concern about loss of privacy with a two-story structure adjacent to her home and
asked that anything possible is done to ensure privacy.
. Asked that the proposed new fence be painted on her side to seal the fence and prevent
deterioration.
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 8
. Asked about the $10,990 credit in Park Impact Fees and whether she has any responsibility
for such fees.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that a developer, in lieu of providing open space, pays the Park Dedication
Fee. The money is placed in a fund used to purchase future public parks. The $10,990 credit is
as a result that a single-family already exists on the site. A Park Fee will be paid for the
remaining four units.
Mr. Glen Cahoon suggested that adding additional fast growing trees, such as Italian Cypress,
would help with screening. Offered to remove a smaller, secondary window in one of the
bedrooms which would look out onto this single family residence.
Ms. Theresa Laboy said that would be a satisfactory solution.
Chairperson Gibbons asked Mr. Cahoon about the request to paint the neighbor's side of the new
fence.
Mr. Glen Cahoon advised that the proposed fence is a normal, six-foot high good neighbor fence.
If the Commission conditions the requirement to paint the neighbor's side of the fence, they
could do so.
Ms. Theresa Laboy advised that there is an existing fence but that it is not in good condition
because it was never sealed.
Commissioner Lowe stated that it is not fair to ask the applicant to paint the neighbor's side of
the fence. The new fence will be better than what is currently in place.
Commissioner Francois concurred. Stated that it would be precedent setting and intrusive to ask
the applicant to paint the neighbor's side of the fence.
Ms. Theresa Laboy clarified that they are not concerned about paint but rather that the fence be
sealed.
Commissioner Lowe stated that since Ms. Laboy is not being asked to pay for half the new fence,
she could assume the cost of sealing the fence on her side of the property.
Ms. Melinda Foss, 134 Shelley Avenue:
. Advised that she has looked at the proposed plans and has a problem with the driveway,
which is located adjacent to the fence shared with her property.
. Expressed concern that no landscape strip is planned adjacent to the driveway, separating it
from her backyard fence.
. Also expressed concern about noise issues with the driveway and no landscape barrier as the
bedroom and kitchen windows in her development face that new driveway.
. Said that removing trees creates privacy issues.
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 9
. Stated that having no landscaping between the driveway and fence creates added heat on her
development. Said this area would not look good without trees and/or shrubs.
Mr. Glen Cahoon:
. Stated that the driveway width is 20 feet minimum, the backup width is 25 feet and parking
spaces are 20 feet long. The garages are 20 feet, 8 inches.
. Suggested a two-foot strip for shrubbery, with Italian Cypress being an excellent fast-growing
type, which would quickly provide good screening.
. Added that there is also a curb separating the driveway from the fence.
. Stated that the windows for the new units are 45 feet from the property line to Ms. Foos'
property.
Aki Irani advised that staff has reviewed the proposed project and that if the buildings are moved
back a couple of feet, a two foot planting strip can be placed separating the driveway from the
fence.
Mr. Ray Rasolas, 130 Shelley Avenue:
. Asked that the trees (or shrubs, he was not sure which) on the northeast corner be retained.
. Stated that they are tall and provide excellent screening.
Ms. Aki Irani:s
. Stated that she is not sure whether these shrubs/trees are slated for retention or removal as
they are not depicted on the site plan.
. Said that they might even be located on the adjacent property rather than on the project site.
. Suggested that the project arborist to take a look at them.
Mr. Glen Cahoon advised that he is not aware of those trees and they mayor may not be on the
project site. They also may be too small to be included on the arborist's report.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that the diameter of the trunk would have to be at least 12 inches at four
feet above grade.
Mr. Ray Rasolas stated that these trees/shrubs are less than 12 inches in diameter but still
encouraged that they be retained to act as a buffer in providing screening.
Chairperson Gibbons suggested that the applicant work with the neighbors as appropriate.
Ms. Ann Bastovan, 132 Shelley Avenue:
. Said the trees are 12-year-old Fruitless Mulberries at the property line as she gave the trees to
her neighbors in pots.
. Asked that the landscape buffer be included to help prevent cars from coming through the
fence into their yards and homes.
. Expressed concern about safety without the landscape buffer.
. Asked that as much green be salvaged and maintained as is possible.
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 10
Commissioner Lowe asked about the size of the trees in question.
Ms. Ann Bastovan said what she can say is that those trees are 12 years mature.
Mr. Kevin Riley, Tenant, 122 Shelley:
. Said that he has lived on the project site for the last seven months and that he was aware of
the future plans for the site when he moved in on a month-to-month basis.
. Advised that there are 17 different bird species living in these trees on site slated for removal.
. Said that he has talked with several arborists who have had differing opinions on the viability
of the trees proposed for removal.
Chairperson Gibbons closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No.4.
Commissioner Lowe pointed out that eight significant trees will be retained on site.
Chairperson Gibbons expressed concern about the proximity of the driveway to the adjacent
property.
Commissioner Kearns suggested moving the buildings to allow space for the planting strip along
the fence adjacent to the driveway and suggested trying to retain the Mulberry trees at the
property line as requested by the neighbor.
Commissioner Lowe asked for clarification about SARC's position on trees.
Commissioner Francois clarified that SARC did not spend a lot of time discussing the tree
removal. SARC was supportive of this project with the addition of decorative paving on the
driveway and in front of each garage.
Commissioner Lowe:
. Pointed out that the adjacent parcel is of a similar size to the project site and is developed
with six townhome units.
. This project fits into the neighborhood.
. Stated that density issues are tough and that he does not like to see crowding but this is a
good project. The applicant has mitigated issues as much as possible.
. Said that pushing back the placement of the buildings does not make sense as it means losing
rear yard space.
. This project is reasonable and prudent.
Commissioner Jones asked for the reasons behind the PD Zoning for this project.
Ms. Sharon Fierro advised that the current zoning permits apartments of up to six units. The PD
zoning allows this parcel to be developed with units that can be individually owned. A PO
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 11
zoning designation can be applied if the project developed under that zoning is superior to what
can be developed under the current zoning.
Commissioner Jones asked what variations from the current zoning this project has.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that the front setbacks are met while the side yard setbacks are not. The
PD Zoning offers more flexibility.
Chairperson Gibbons stated that she would like to see the placement of the building adjusted to
allow the landscape buffer along the driveway. Said that overall this is a good project, similar to
others. Expressed support for the project and suggested that the site plan be returned to staff
regarding the landscaping issues.
Commissioner Kearns stated her agreement for the need for the landscape buffer along the
driveway.
Commissioner Lowe asked just how much landscape was suggested along the driveway.
Chairperson Gibbons suggested leaving that up to staff.
Commissioner Lowe asked what would be gained by adding the landscape buffer.
Chairperson Gibbons stated that privacy, head build up, and shade, aesthetic and good neighbor
issues are met with the landscape buffer.
Commissioner Jones suggested flipping the project over.
Chairperson Gibbons reopened the Public Hearing to allow the applicant to return to the podium
to respond to that suggestion.
Mr. Glen Cahoon replied that there are similar townhome projects on both sides of this project
site. Similar issues would occur whether the project orientation is flipped or not.
Commissioner Lowe asked for a recess to allow staff time to provide a clearer aerial photograph
of the area.
Chairperson Gibbons called a recess at 8:52 p.m.
Chairperson Gibbons reconvened the meeting at 8:56 p.m.
Ms. Sharon Fierro, Interim Community Development Director:
. Provided an overview of the discussion to this point.
. Advised that planning staff has worked closely with the applicant on this project.
Planning Commission Minutes of April 11, 2000
Page 12
· In looking at the aerial, it is clear the building can be moved back two feet which would
allow more landscaping on the easterly property line.
· To retain the trees at the entrance of the driveway, the project arborist can be consulted to
determine the viability of those particular trees.
Chairperson Gibbons re-closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No.4.

environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning
classification.
2. The development and uses would be compatible with the General Plan of the City and
will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
3. 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.
4. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial
impact on plant or animal life.

RESOLUTION NO. 3270
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PLN2000-34) AND TREE
REMOV AL PERMIT (PLN2000-38) TO ALLOW THE
CONSTRUCTION OF FIVE TOWNHOME UNITS ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 122 SHELLEY A VENUE IN A
PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT.
APPLICATION OF MR. GLEN CAHOON.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the Community
Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission finds as follows with
regard to File No. PLN2000-34 (PD)/PLN2000-38 (TRP):
1. The proposed Planned Development Permit is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General
Plan.
2. The proposed density of 10.42 units per gross acre is no greater than the density allowance of 6-13
units per gross acre permitted in the R-M-S (Multiple-Family Residential) Zoning District.
3. The proposed massing and design is consistent with other developments in the surrounding area
and is consistent with the development standards for residential uses.
4. The provision of CC&Rs requiring the formation of a homeowner's association is necessary to
ensure the long term property maintenance and continued architectural integrity of the project.
5. The proposed removal of nine (9) existing trees on site is necessary as it restricts the economic
enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual hardship for the property owner to development
the project as proposed.
6. The removal of some of the existing trees on site is proposed due to the poor condition of the trees
as indicated in the certified arborist report submitted by the applicant; the other trees to be removed
on site are not protected under the City's Tree Protection Ordinance.
7. 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:
I. 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 result in allowing more residential units than would be allowed
by other residential zoning districts which are consistent with the general plan designation of the
property; and
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
5, 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.
6. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial impact on
plant or animal life.

Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre). The proposed project will be developed
at a density of 10.42 units per gross acre, which is within the density range allowed for the site.
Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is R-M-S (Multiple Family
Residential). Under this zoning designation, a maximum of six (6) units could be constructed on
the project site, if all other development standards (i.e. open space, parking, etc.) could be met.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change from an R-M-S to a Planned
Development zoning district to allow for the development of townhouse units, each to be
constructed on individual lots. The zone change does not affect the maximum density range
allowance for the property, but does allow for the separate ownership of units as opposed to the
development of multiple units on a single lot (i.e. rental units).
Site Plan: The site plan proposes the construction of five (5) attached townhouse units within
two buildings that will be accessed by a 20-foot wide common interior driveway along the east
property line. One of the buildings will consist of three (3) units and will be oriented along the
west side of the subject site. The first unit in this building will have direct frontage onto Shelley
Avenue and will have a front yard setbac-l( of approximately 20 feet from the back of sidewalk.
The second building will consist of two (2) units and will be located at the rear of the subject
site. Each ofthe units will have private rear yard areas that will range in depth between 11 and 16
feet. In addition, landscaping strips will be provided along the front of those units facing the
driveway and along the side yard of those units located at the rear of the site to provide for
buffering between the buildings and the driveway and to soften the visual impact of the
buildings.
The common lot for the development will consist of the common driveway, common front and
side yard landscaping (including landscaping along the east property line) and uncovered parking
spaces for the project. For the three (3) units located along the west side of the property, the
uncovered parking spaces will be located in front of the garages; the uncovered parking spaces
for the two (2) rear units will be located and the end of the driveway along the west side of the
subject site.

Building Design: The proposed townhouse development will consist of 2 two-story buildings.
The three-unit townhouse building located on the west side of the property and facing Shelley
A venue will have a stucco wall exterior with stucco stone veneer wainscoting and hipped roofs
with composition asphalt shingles. To provide some relief from flat wall surfaces, the design
also incorporates a bowed bay window and addition of a porch element along the front entry of
each unit. The proposed colors for the exterior of the building will be "Navajo white" for the
stucco wall, charcoal gray for the composition shingle roofing and "Riviera green" for the entry
door and window framing.
The two-unit townhouse building at the rear of the site will have lap siding and hipped roofs with
composition asphalt shingles. Stucco stone veneer will also be applied around the garages of
these units to provide some visual accents to the building design and to soften the visual impact
of the garages. The proposed colors for the building include a "Manchurian apricot" color for
the lap siding, charcoal gray for the composition shingle roofing and gray for the entry door and
window framing.
Staff has reviewed the proposed designs of the townhouse units and is supportive of the proposed
project.
Landscaping: The project site currently has several mature trees and the applicant has submitted
a certified arborist report indicating the condition of each of the trees. The applicant has
submitted a Tree Removal Permit application to remove nine (9) of these trees to accommodate
development of the townhouse units and driveway in those locations; the remaining trees are
proposed to be retained on site, including many mature redwood, pine and cedar trees along the
west and southern property lines. These trees to remain will provide screening and buffering
between the adjacent townhouse complex to the west and the adjacent multi-family residential
complex to the south. The proposed trees to be removed have either been determined to be in
poor condition or have trunk diameters under 12 inches that are not protected under the Tree
Protection Ordinance. Additional trees will be required to be planted on site as replacement trees
for these removed trees in accordance with the City's Tree Protection Ordinance.
The conceptual landscaped areas on the site plan also indicate landscaping strips along the east
side of the property adjacent to the driveway, along the side yards of all of the units and along the
front of the units in the three-unit building. As a part of the conditions of approval for the
project, a condition has been added that will require the applicant to submit a detailed
landscaping plan to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director which
details the type of landscaping to be installed for the project, including the replacement trees.

All of the landscaped areas within the front of the units, including the front yard along Shelley
Avenue, the side yards and along the driveway will be commonly maintained and included in the
common landscape area to be maintained by a home owner's association.
The City has received one letter of request by Ms. Lisa Karpinski submitted on March 30, 2000
concerning the proposed trees to be removed. In the letter, Ms. Karpinski requests that the trees
not be removed if there are methods to remove or to treat the diseased portions of the trees. Ms.
Karpinksi is not a resident within the neighborhood, but has expressed her opinion that the trees
add to the aesthetic beauty of the neighborhood.
Parking: The applicant is providing a total of 18 parking spaces for the project. Each unit will
be provided with a two-car garage for a total of 10 covered parking spaces. Six (6) uncovered
parking spaces will be provided in front of the garages of the three-unit building. Two (2)
uncovered parking spaces will be accommodated at the end of the driveway for the rear units.
The project meets the City's parking requirements by providing 3.5 parking spaces per unit.
Tentative Parcel Map: The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map to
subdivide the property into five (5) residential lots and one common lot for the driveway access
and common landscape areas.
Staff recommends that prior to recordation of the final parcel map and issuance of any building
permits, the applicant provide draft Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to the
Community Development Department for review which provide for:
A. Formation of a home owner's association to ensure the long term maintenance of
buildings and properties.
B. Continued architectural controls to ensure the architectural integrity of the project.
C. Definition for "common" areas to be maintained.
D. Provision of maintenance for common landscaped areas.
E. Provision for the long term property maintenance for the driveway, buildings and
common roofs to be repaired, repainted, and/or replaced as necessary.
F. Provision of a funding mechanism to ensure maintenance and upkeep of common
areas and shared building walls and roofs.
G. Provision for the availability of interior garage space for the parking of two (2)
vehicles at all times.
H. Provision to prohibit use of uncovered parking spaces for outdoor storage purposes.
Staff recommends that the applicant submit the draft CC&Rs for the project to be reviewed and
approved by the Community Development Director, City Engineer and City Attorney which will
satisfy the City's need to ensure the proper maintenance and upkeep of the development.

FINDINGS FOR RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF FILE NO. PLN2000-32 (Zone Change)
SITE ADDRESS: 122 Shelley Avenue
APPLICANT: Glen Cahoon on behalf of Shelley Properties LLC
P.C. MEETING: April 11, 2000
Findings for Recommended Approval of a Zone Change
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2000-32:

R-M-S (Multiple-Family Residential) Zoning District.
3. The proposed Planned Development Zoning will allow greater flexibility in placement of
buildings and design to fit the site and the neighborhood.
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 would be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will
aid in the harmonious development ofthe immediate area.
3. 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.

Subject: Proposed tree removal at 122 Shelley Ave., Campbell
March 29, 2000
To whom it may concern:
I am not able to attend the Planning Commission meeting in person and am thus submitting my
concerns in writing. My name is Lisa Karpinski. I live at 965 Coeur 0' Alene Way, Sunnyvale, CA
94087. I enjoy walking on Sherman and do so frequently (about 3 times per week), in part
because my acupuncturist is located nearby on White Oaks (Ta's Healing Center), as are my
voice lessons (Showcase Music Institute on Bascom near Camden). The following are my
comments regarding the proposal to remove several trees from the 122 Shelley Ave. property.
I spoke with the current tenant and was informed that part of the reason for tree removal was
due to presumed beetle infestation. Has a qualified biologist! arborist examined all the proposed
trees to be removed to determine that they are, in fact, diseased? My educational background is
in biology (BA from UCSC), and upon visual inspection of the trees, I noticed that a few seemed
to be diseased, but not all. In fact, the one closest to the street and driveway was the only one
that I would recommend removing, without actually collecting and analyzing samples from all
the trees. For those that are found to be diseased, are there alternatives to their removal? For
example, they might be treated with a chemical, or the diseased sections might be removed.
Have alternatives been investigated and adequately considered?
My concern is that in this valley of fast-growing development and increasingly crowded
conditions, there is a tendency to overlook the importance that large trees contribute to our
quality of life. Specifically, to our aesthetic sense of beauty, space, and an unquantifiable but very
real sense of connection to the wild. I understand and respect the need to control disease, but I
would also ask that these large trees be valued for what they are: providers of beauty in a society
surrounded by concrete. They contribute to the quality of life not just of the neighborhood, but
also to those passing through, like me. In fact, I walk on that street specifically because of the
large trees, and avoid other streets with new subdivisions where the trees are still spindly. It is
not adequate, in my mind, to simply increase the ratio of planting when removing large trees.
Because trees take so long to grow, it is not enouJdl to simply plant a larger quantity. Whenever
possible, large trees need to be left alone, for the ~fit of posterity, as well as of ou:rselves.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lisa Karpinski
