February 5 .. 1991
An InitIal Study recommending
adoption of a Negative Declaration
Is attaC'bec1
The project site is an irregularly shaped, u,ndevelopEd 5.3 acre
site bordered by Los Trancos Creek to the 'West and Los Trancos
Woods Road to tbe .ast~ The ~ajorlty of the 5ite is covere~ vith
a heavy tree caDOpY. Buildable or net site area is ~.2 acres,
because"of the need to provide an adequate setback from the creek
site. The new home is proposed, well set~ack from the road and
creek.. in the videst portion of the site Which is an open meado~.
Project pescription
The applicant proposes to construct a U-shape~~ ~wo-story, 6~OCO
square foot residence with a two car garage, pool and patio
areas. The proposed buildinq location is nearly level. and the
majority of site grading proposed (1,500 cubic yards) vill result
from the building foundations and the pool. Access to the bouse
viII be from a new semi-circular qravel driveway located just
south of the exIstIng driveway from Los Trancos Woods Road.
The proposed architectural style is mediterranean, with tan
stucco walls, dark brown ~ood triml and Spanish tile roof using
darker terra cotta tiles. Material samples will be provided at
the Planning commission meetinq* See also the attached Project
Description prepared by the applicant (Attachment IIIJ tor
additional information.
ISSUES OF CONCERN
CtUities
the site is currently outside of the city of Palo Alto vater,
electric, 9as, and ~astewater service areas. Electric pover is
available to the site from Pacific Cas and Electric. Water
service is available from the City of Palo Alto if the applicant
pays to extend the water .ain nearest to the site, which no~

tent!nates Ol> the Leo property on tile opposite oide of Los
Trancos Woods Roa~. City gas er vastevater service 1. not
available. Wastevater .ervice i. available from the West Say
sanitary 01.t~ict, Which has a .ewer •• in located a1009 Valley
oak road 1n the Portola Valley Ranch project located across Los
Srancos Creek~ To connect to this •• in the applicant yill have
to construc~ a lateral connection which crosses under the creek
and pump up to the main. ~bis connection will require an
easement trom the Portola Valley Ranch Home OWners Association
and approvals or peraits from a number of regulatory agencies.
The only other option to provi~e ~astewater service to this site
is to install a septic tank system. Of the two options~
connection to the existing service Eatn is recommende~ because
the site borders a creek and the Santa Clara county Department of
Environmental Health polIcy requIres connection to existing
systems if they are located nearby. The applicant has already
Obtained the necessary easements and most of tbe necessary
req·ulat.ory ~gency approvals. For additional infoI"lrlation please
refer to pages 10-11 of the attached Environmental Assessment
[Attachment II) and copies of responses from the pertinent
regulatory agencies (Attachment IV).
Drainage
stor. ~ater runoff from the project will be picked up in new
storm drain inlets located around the perimeter of the house and
pool and ~onveyed in underground pipes to • new outfall to be
located within the creek bank. The easement and preliminary
approvals obtained by the applicant to install the waste~ater
line include approvals ~or the drainage outCall also.
Visual Impacts
The site is very well screened by existing vegetation from Los
Trancos Woods ~oad and Los Trancos Creek. Partial vie~s of the
new bouse will be possible from the driveway and from homes in
Portola Valley Ranch which are located along the ridgeline to the
southwest. All major site improvements will be located outside
the dripline of existing trees ~nd no trees vill be removed. The
conceptual landscape plan shows that fourteen new trees are
proposed around the perimeter of the residence. The careful
placement of these a~itional trees can help to further screen
the residence from view.
CUltural Impacts
Because the site borders a creek and is within one ~ile of a
location along Los Trancos Creek, where Indian artifacts have
been found, it is possible that the site qrading and construction
activit.ies ~ay unearth some items of archaeological eerit. For
this reason a qualified arcbaeologist should be present durl~

action can be .ade.
concludon
CODpare~ to acme recent lite and desiqn appllcation.~ this
project ia cons14ere~ to be a proposal of .oderate aiEe whieh was
well thought out. by the applicant. Even though thh alte is
locat.~ vithin vhat 1. considered the Palo Alto foothills, it Is
a nearly level aite and not subject to the normal gra4inq
consideratiGns and visual i.pact issues faced by ~any foothills
development applications. The biggest i •• ue. to be addressed are
the provision of utilities and the protection of the creek~ and
any potential cultural i~pact.. Thea. issues can be
satisfactorily resolved. as reflected in the recommended
conditions ot approval.
Normally, staff ~ould express reservations about the use of a
particular architectural .tyle~ such as the mediterranean style
proposed~ because of its potential to stand apart from the
landscape rather than to blend in ~lth the landscape. However~
because of the SUbstantial acreening provide~ by existing
vegetation, staff does not believe any change in architectural
.tyle is necessary for the project. Staff doe. recommend some
modifications to tha building materials selected. It Is critical
that the tile roof be brown not re~. It Is also recommended that
building colQ~s be selected that show less of & contrast than
those originally selected; the tan a little darker and the dark
brown trim a lit.tle ligbter .. perbaps picking up some bue from the
browner root tiles.
ItECOKllEIIDATIOII
staff recommends that ~he Planning commissIon recommend that the
city Council approve this site and design application subject to
the following findings and conditions.

Los Trancos Woods Road
APN 182-46-ooJ
~e folloYing description aocom~nies the application for site
and design approval for the proposed single family residence
located on Lo~ Trancos Woods Road. rbe site {or the proposed
residence is a 5.50 acre oblong site situated between Los Trancos
Creek and Los Tlancos Woods Road. approximately 0.7 .iles south
of Alpine Road (refer to the attached area ~ap)~ The lot lines
for this parcel exist from the orIqlnal description deted in the
1880's. and hence predate all subsequent ~oning. There are no
structures or i~provements existing on the site.
The location on the site for the proposed residence is the main
large ~eadow in the center of the site (refer to the aerial~
sbeet A-I). The proposed residence will consist of a tYO-sto~
Spanish style bouse totalling 5.392 sq.ft. [with a l~~18 sq.ft~
first floor and • 2,l14 sq.ft. second floor), an attached SSl
sq. ft. two-car 9arage, and a pool. The site will have 5~476
sq.(t. of impervious coverage, which equetes to 2.84' of the net
site area of 4.42 acres~. Th!s is yell within the l.5\ maximum
provide~ for under the Open Space District zoning deSignation,
vhich equates to a ~axImum i~pervl~5 coveraqe of 6,739 sq.tt.
for the site. SpecIfically, the impervious surfaces for the site
are: 3.661 sq.ft. for the house and qaraqe, with the remaininq
1,115 sq. ft. for the patio. pool deck, entry court, and stepping
stones.
The proposed bouse site is surrounded by numerous mature trees
(mainly oaks). The design intent ~as to ~axlmize the
preservatIon and enjoyment of the existing trees and foliaqe~
which act as a natural screen from all of the nei9hboring ho~es.
The construction of the house yill not require the removal of any
significant trees on the site. Host of the site (over 90\) will
remain in its current natural condition. The site will be
cleared of debris that has been dumped there over the years.
The proposed ~se and lendscaping deslsn bas taken into
consideratipn the City Staff~& desire to incorporate earth tcnes
in the building finishes and to preserve the site's natural
settinq. Spanish style architecture ~as selected because of the
predominance of this style of .rchitect~re, and the importance of
creating a ·villa-or -estate-type of feeling on the site, Which
1 The net .1te area was deterained by ta~ing the qrcss site
area of 5.50 acres and de~uctinq easement areas end the area
between the top of the Los Trancos Creet bant. as defined by the
City, and the property line; approxi~ately 1.1 acres were lost
when converting from qross to net site area.

All required utIlities are available for the proposed residence.
SpecIfically, gas service viII be provided by PC and E from its
9as lIne along Los Trancoa Woods Road. Electrical service is
available froD both PG and E (along Los Trancos Woods Roa~) and
the City of Palo Alto [a~jacent to the a1te}. Water 5ervice is
available from the city of Palo Alto (from across Los Trancos
Woods Road). Sewer 5ervice I, available from the We.t Bay
Sanitary District Bewer line located In Valley Oak 2. To access
this sewer line , conduit will be locate~ un~lrqround between the
propose~ residence and Valley oak. As noted on plan Eheet U-1,
the line vitI cross under Los Trancos Creek (which 1& dry most of
the year) in a aanner 50 as to .in!.!!e any disturbance ~o the
area. Moreover, the area will be restored to its original
condition should any ainor disturbance occur. Additionally.
every precaution vill be ta~en to ensure that a -tall-.ate
Installation .ethod i. used (refer to the June 4. 1990 letter
trom Brian ~&ng&5 Foulk for .ore details, which is part of the
attacbe~ ·Utility Permits/Letter.Wj. since approximately fifty
feet of this line ~ill be loeate~ on property owned by the
Portola valley Ranch Home OWn.rs Association, an easement was
Obtaine~ from thea. AdditIonally, the West Bay Sanitary District
has agreed to serve this site. vith the appropriate fees to be
paid by the applicant. Relating to the c~nstruction of the line
across the creek, the applIcant has applied for and Obtaine~ the
necessary approvals and/or permits froD the Department of Fish
and Game, the 045. Corp. of Engineer., the Santa Clara Valley
Water District, the Town of Portola Valley, and the California
Reqional water QualIty Control Board (refer to the attached
"Utility Peraits/Letters"l.
2 Purs~ant to the City Planninq staff'. request, the
applicant contacted the Department of Environmental Health (John
Baumbaugh, 408/737-19»)) to get its recommendation as to how to
provide sewer service. They stated that their -strongest
recommendatiGn is to hook-up to the sewer system (as opposed to
providing service via a septic system). Septic should be yie",'ed
only as a last resort.-They a150 state~ that the code requires
that a sewer sy6tem be used if available nearby.

As noted above, the site f9r the pr~sed ainqle family residence
1. encircled by heavy yegetati~n and numerous large trees.
M~netheless, to determine the potential visual impact from
.~rrounding homes. a visual impact analysis was conducted. To
perform this analysis. six red balloons Yere floated at the
maximum height poi~t. of the proposed bouse~ Kore specIfically,
balloons were floated (conservatIvely, at 19 feet at the tour
points noted as -A-, and at 24 feet at tbe two points noted as
-8· on the aerial plan (sheet A-I). ~hen, ph¢toqraphs ~ere ta~en
from eleven different points. all in the direction of the
proposed residence vith the attempt to locate the red balloons
through the e~i5ting trees. Reter to the aerial plan (sheet A-1J
for the location that the eleven photographs yere taken frem
(shown as triangles). as well as the photogr~phs themselves
(attached as the ·visual I~pact Analysis·). As can be noted frOD
the pbotoqraphs. it is very difficult, if not impossi~lel to see
the proposed residence from the surrounding homes (especially
along Valley Oak: refer to pbotoqraphs 1 through 4), becaose ef
the thick coveraqe provided by t~e existing trees and yegetati~n.
The lack of open view between Valley Oak and the proposed
residence Is also evidence~ by pbotoqraphs 9 and 10, which were
taken looking towards the adjacent ho~e5. Keep in .ind that this
analysis was cond,ucted without the benefit of the additional
landscaping to be provided rrom the construction of the proposed
residence. The tree coverage (and hence lack of visual impact)
is even more pr~nounced when ~iewe~ alon9 Los Trancos Woods Road.
In conclusion, the visual impact resulting from the proposed
residence yould be neqliqible due to the heavy 9rovth of existing
trees and vegetation.
