Pre-App - PM/New SFR - 2005Community Development Department June 29, 2005 Ms. Arlette Crews 120 Sunnyside Avenue Campbell, CA 95008 Re: Preliminary Application Comments File No: PRE2005-41 120 Sunnyside Avenue Dear Ms. Crews: Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary application for atwo-lot subdivision and construction of a new single-family residence located at 120 Sunnyside Avenue. The subject property is presently zoned P-D (Planned Development) and is designated as Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre) on the City's General Plan Land Use Map. The existing home is located on the City's Historic Resources Inventory. The existing home is described on the attached Historic Resources Inventory Sheet as an example of a Colonial Revival Cottage common in Campbell around the turn of the century. The proposed project will require the following application approvals which can be processed concurrently and will require approval from the Planning Commission and City Council through the public hearing process: Tentative Parcel Map The division of the lot into two lots would require the approval of a Tentative Parcel Map. Planning Division fees associated with this application include the Tentative Parcel Map application fee, which is currently $3,445 and the Fire Department Review fee, which is currently $129 plus $10 per lot. A Park Impact Fee would also be required which is currently $7,035. Fees from the other departments will be required for this project and each department should be contacted for the specific amounts. Planned Development Permit The proposed construction of the home would require the approval of a Planned Development Permit. The Planned Development permit approves the site plan, floor plans, elevations and landscape plan for the subject property. Planning Division fees associated with this application include the Planned Development Permit application fee, which is currently $7,460 and the Fire Department Review, which is currently $65. Fees from the other departments will be required for this project and each department should be contacted for the specific amounts. The Historic Preservation Board reviewed this preliminary appliaction at their meeting on June 2, 2005 and June 27, 2005 and had the following recommendations: 1. That a new detached garage be used for the existing home and not a carport at the rear of the home. The new driveway for this garage would take access from Industrial Way and be perpendicular to the 70 North First Street ~ Campbell, California 95008-1 4 36 ~ 'rst. 408.866.2140 ~ rnx 408.871.5140 ~ Tun 408.866.2790 PRE2005-41 ~ 120 Sunnysid~ .venue Page 2 of 2 street. The Board recommends that the applicant explore the possibility of a zero lot line detached garage, similar to what would have been used around the time the house was constructed. 2. That the new home not be from pre-fabricated plans. The Board recommends that the new house be designed for this specific lot and that the architecture of the new home be compatible with, and compliment, the existing historical homes' architectural style as well as the other older homes in the surrounding neighborhood. 3. That the two homes be separated by the new detached garage and side yard area. This would require the new home to have an entrance orierrted towards Industrial Way and a garage along the southern property line, rather than the northern property line. The Planning Division completed the review of your pre-application and has the following comments regarding your proposal: The proposed home should incorporate representative architectural features found on the existing home, as well as the other older homes along Sunnyside Avenue, including higher pitched roofs, front porches that run across the whole front of the home, stylized porch pillars, double hung windows, and horizontal siding. 2. Please see the enclosed comments from the Public Works Department regarding dedication of land for the public right-of--way along the Industrial Way street frontage. Staff has concerns about the accommodation of a new home and garage as well as adequate open space and landscaping given the small size of the proposed lot and further reduction due to street dedication. It will need to be demonstrated that adequate setbacks and open space/landscaping will be provided for the new home and existing home in order for staff to be supportive of the project. Your application was distributed to the Public Works Department, Building Division, Planning Division and the County Fire Department. In addition to the Planning Division's comments contained in this letter, please find enclosed comments from the Building Division, Public Works Department, and Fire Department. Please note that these comments are meant to be preliminary. Conditions of approval from each department will be developed when the formal applications are submitted. Thank you for the opportunity to review these plans. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866- 2193 or via email at stephaniew(c~cityofcampbell.com to schedule a meeting to discuss these comments and the application process.
