ITEM NO: 3
DATE: August 20, 2021
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Consider Approval for Construction of a New Single-family Residence and Site
Improvements Requiring a Grading Permit on Vacant Property Zoned HR-5
Located on Wood Road. APN 510-47-045. Architecture and Site Application
S-21-003. Property Owners: Omari and Kavita Bouknight. Applicant: Gary
Kohlsaat, Architect. Project Planner: Sean Mullin.
BACKGROUND:
On July 28, 2021, the Planning Commission considered the application and continued the
matter to August 25, 2021. The Planning Commission directed the applicant to consider the
comments of the Planning Commission, including:
• Evaluate options to reduce the height of the residence and therefore the visibility from
the viewing area located at Los Gatos-Saratoga Road (Highway 9) and Highway 17; and
• Clarify whether a right-of-way exists on the subject property.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant submitted a written response to the direction provided by the Planning
Commission and revised development plans (Exhibits 13 and 15). The changes to the residence
and the applicant’s response are discussed below.
A. Building Height
In response to the Planning Commission’s direction, the applicant has reduced the height of
the upper floor by reducing the ceiling height by approximately nine inches and changing
the roof form from a hip roof to a flat roof (Exhibits 13 and 15). These changes reduce the
height of the upper floor by three feet at the bedrooms and two feet at the common area.
As a result, the maximum low-to-high height is reduced by two feet, to 32 feet, 11 inches.

Low-to-High Height 34.92 feet 32.92 feet 28 feet
Heights of visible homes are limited by the Hillside Development Standards and Guidelines
(HDS&G) to a maximum of 18 feet at any point and a low-to-high dimension of 28 feet. The
revised residence continues to require exceptions to the height standards of the HDS&G for
a portion of the loggia covering a patio at the front of the main level with a height of 21.16
feet, exceeding the 18-foot height standard. Additionally, the revised portions of the upper
level would exceed the 28-foot low-to-high standard, having a height of 32.92 feet.
B. Visibility
Pursuant to the HDS&G, a visible home is one where 24.5 percent or more of an elevation
can be seen from any of the Town’s established viewing areas. The previous proposal
included a visibility analysis showing that the residence would be 34.9 percent vis ible from
the viewing area located at Los Gatos-Saratoga Road (Highway 9) and Highway 17 (Exhibit
4). In response to the Planning Commission’s direction to reduce visibility, the applicant has
lowered the ceiling heights and changed the roof on the upper floor from hipped to flat, as
discussed above. These changes reduce the overall height of the building by two feet and
would reduce the visibility of the proposed residence to 32 percent (Exhibit 15, Sheets VS1
and VS2).
During the July 28, 2021 Planning Commission hearing, the applicant was asked to explore
opportunities to plant additional trees to reduce the visibility of the residence. The revised
development plans introduce eight, 60-inch box redwood trees adjacent to the driveway on
the neighboring property, in a landscape easement, east of the residence (Exhibit 15). The
applicant outlines the selection process for the screening trees, which considered height,
foliage density, growth rate, native species, and cost (Exhibit 13). Redwood trees were
ultimately selected, and the applicant indicates that they have consulted with a nursery to
purchase trees that are currently 18 feet, six inches tall. Given the average growth rate for
redwoods, the nursery anticipates that the trees will grow approximately two feet per year
and would be over 20 feet tall at the time of planting. The applicant estimates that the
redwoods would be at least 24 feet, six inches tall within two years of planting.

DISCUSSION (continued):
The applicant submitted a revised visibility analysis calculating the percent of the revised
residence that would be visible from the Highway 9/17 viewing area (Exhibit 15, Sheets VS1
and VS2). The analysis includes three visibility calculations based on the revised residence:
• The revised residence with no added screening trees;
• The revised residence after initial planting of the proposed redwood trees; and
• The revised residence after two years of anticipated growth of the proposed
redwood trees.
The visibility of the revised residence is summarized in the table below. Typically, visibility
analyses do not consider proposed trees or landscaping. The applicant has provided the se
calculations, including the proposed redwood trees, in response to the Planning
Commission’s request to explore the use of screening trees in order to reduce the visibility
of the residence.

C. Right-of-Way
During the July 28, 2021 hearing, the Planning Commission discussed a claim made on
behalf of the neighboring property owner to the west that a public right-of-way exists along
the north property line of the subject property. The applicant contends that there is no
evidence that this right-of-way or an easement exists in this location (Exhibit 13). The
Planning Commission requested that the Town Attorney consult with the applicant and the
neighboring property owner’s attorney to determine whether a public right-of-way exists
on the subject property. It is the conclusion of the Town Attorney that all parties are in
agreement that there is no evidence of a public right-of-way (Exhibit 14). The neighboring
property owner’s attorney does contend that, while there is no evidence of a public right-
of-way on the subject property, there is a private easement benefitting their client. The
applicant does not agree with this claim. A claim of private easement is a civil matter in
which the Town is not involved.

Re: The Bouknight Residence, 145* Wood Road
Addendum to Planning Commission Review
Dear Mr Mullin:
This letter outlines our responses to the direction given by the Planning Commissioners on July 28
2021 when they considered our A&S application for the Bouknight residence, and accompanies
revised plans and exhibits. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Planning Commission
and trust that the outlined proposal directly addresses the areas of concern highlighted during the
meeting. In summary, the Planning Commission raised concerns regarding exceptions requested on
the home’s proposed low-to-high height limit. The original home design was noted to have a
visibility ratio of 34.9% from one of the designated viewing areas, which is greater than the 24.5%
standard. As such, a more restrictive low-to-high height limit was to be applied and thus the
exception request and the noted concerns. Finally, there was some concern regarding the size of
the home in relation to the surrounding properties.
As proposed during the July 28 review meeting, we have explored a combination of design
changes related to the height of the home as well as adding natural screening to decrease the
visibility ratio to or below the 24.5% standard, which would obviate the need to issue a low-to-
high height limit exception. Beyond the aforementioned proposal to reduce height and visibility,
we have completed our due diligence on questions regarding the so-called ‘Old Wood Road’
ROW and related easement rights. Our position on the ROW remains unchanged; after carefully
reviewing all available documents there is no evidence that a Right of Way exists in that
location. While we also don’t believe there is a recorded private easement, we are willing to
work with the neighbor offline and can state with confidence that any development would
respect such potential easement.
FLOOR AREA
The above grade area for the proposed home is 3,295 sf, where the Town’s limit is placed at
3,900 sf. There are two homes on Wood Road listed in the staff report that are much larger than
this one (4,609 sf and 4,594 sf).In addition to the listed properties, there are two homes omitted
from the list that we contend should be included in the discussion. Both of these properties have
been included on our Overall Site Plan (Sheet A-1) from the beginning. The first one, a whopper,
is 150 Wood Road, which is just beyond this property, is clearly visible from the viewing area
and is 8,940 sf. The second property, 100 Clifton Ave, is directly adjacent to our property, is also
highly visible and totals out at 4,557 sf.
In the near future, Mr. Ebrahimi’s property (adjacent- above and to the west of ours) surely will
seek a highest and best use sized development of at least one but possibly two homes. The
Draa’s property at 138 Wood road is 2,808 sf but could be due for a major addition as the
property can easily support up to 6,000 sf. In this context, the proposed home of 3,295 square
feet is not overly large in relation to the neighborhood.

VISIBILITY
Topography
The site has a very narrow development area that is defined by the front setback line on the
south side and the least restrictive development area (LRDA) boundary line to the north. This
buildable area varies in width between 60 feet at the bottom to approximately 75 feet towards
the top. The LRDA does not allow for the house to be spread along the contours so a tiered
approach makes the most sense. The house is not only tiered up the slope by bunkering in a
good majority of the floor area, it also is divided into 3 sections that progressively step back and
follow the angles of the contour lines. This approach greatly breaks up any large expansive
walls and mass and keeps the height of the home below the 18 ft vertical plane (Standard for
homes which are deemed “visible”).
While roughly half of the buildable area is well screened, the southern “third” of this area is
exposed to the visibility platform at the Hwy 9/17 interchange. Since we have such a limited
area in which to build, this portion of land needs to be utilized and therefore attributes to the
majority of the visible portion of the house. The original house had a 34.9% visibility ratio and an
overall height of 34’-9”.
TWO STEP APPROACH
Architecture
First, we explored and evaluated ways to lower the height of the house. As noted in the hearing,
there is not much if any leeway to reduce the floor to floor heights, so we focused our attention
on the uppermost floor, which is the primary contributor to the visibility. The original roof was
hipped and had ceiling heights varying between 9’- 9” and 10’-9”. The modified design lowers
the ceiling heights to 9 ft and 10 feet respectively, as well as flattening out the roof. The
commutative reduction in height is a full 3 feet on the bedroom section (the southern and most
visible section) and 2 feet on the Family Room corner (north side). By doing this, the overall
height (Low to High) has been reduced from 34’-9” to 32’-9”. This height reduction also results in
a 2.9% reduction to the visibility ratio, taking it from 34.9% to 32.0%.
While we were able to make significant strides in reducing both height and visibility, we feel the
architecture retains its character and style. The flat roof is not visible from most view angles and
retains the overhang and corbel detail that matches the rest of the house.
Screening Trees
Several mature oak trees cover the northern portion of the property, with several more oaks
located in the lower apron area that effectively screen the majority of the proposed residence. At
the suggestion of the planning commission, we have completed extensive studies using
computer simulation to evaluate how effective adding new trees would be in further reducing the
visibility ratio. We have been pleased to find that trees can indeed be positioned to provide
excellent screening results.
PROCESS
As part of the process of identifying appropriate screening trees, we felt it critical to identify
indigenous trees that had sufficient height and screening potential. We determined that the trees
need to be a minimum of 18 feet tall to achieve necessary screening, with a growth potential to
reach the desired height to be anywhere between 22-25 feet tall within a reasonable amount of
time. The list is short and includes Oaks, Redwoods and Cedars. We did not consider California
Bay trees as they have been found to be the prime carrier of SODS (Sudden Oak Death
Syndrome).
THE BOUKNIGHT RESIDENCE, 145 WOOD RD*, PAGE of 3 4
THE BOUKNIGHT RESIDENCE, 145 WOOD RD*, PAGE of 4 4
Deodar Cedars have more openings within the branch structure and are not solid enough for
our purposes. Oaks, especially Coast Live Oaks, are evergreen and have relatively solid
canopies. However, there are two significant issues with Coast Live Oaks: One issue relates to
size and the second relates to the growth rate. To get our desired starting size between 18-20
feet, the box size is substantial (108” size) and the projected cost of upwards of $25,000 per
tree (planted) becomes prohibitive; several trees are needed. The bigger problem is trees of this
size take several years to get established and begin to grow again. In contrast, smaller oaks
(24”- 36” box sizes) “take” right away and grow much faster, but they start around 8-10 feet in
height and would take a good 10-15 years to reach the necessary heights.
We are ultimately proposing indigenous Redwoods, which not only are available in 18’-6”
heights (see attached photo from Devil Mountain Nursery) but also have a projected 2 feet
annual growth rate. This, along with their dense structure make Redwoods our tree of choice.
The proposal is to purchase 60” box size Redwoods (18’-6” ft tall) this fall, then contract with the
grower to nurture them so they continue to grow at the nursery until ready to be planted. We
have already consulted with the nursery and are prepared to move forward. Using this
approach, the new trees would easily be 20 feet tall if not more at time of planting, which could
be done once the majority of the work is completed, or approximately one year after breaking
ground.
Working with the topo and view corridor, we strategically positioned 3 groups of Redwoods (8
total) at different elevations in the apron area to create natural layered screening. Each tree is
numbered on both the site plan and the visibility renderings to allow us to pinpoint these trees.
Computer simulation then allows us to accurately analyze the screening potential.
The revised Visibility Screening Study depicts the trees and the proposed home (with modified
upper roofs) at three stages: Time of planting, after one and two years time. The corresponding
visibility calculations show the progression; after 2 years from the time of planting, these trees
are projected to grow to approximately 24’-6” in height- enough to effectively reduce the visibility
ratio to less than 24.5%.
We have also completed a review of our easement rights and it is clear that the Bouknights
have rights to plant and maintain trees in this easement area.
One thing to point out is once the visibility ratio of the home is less than 24.5% (when a home is
officially deemed as “Visible”), neither the 18 ft height plane limit nor the need for an exception
to the 28 ft low-to-high height limit would technically be necessary.
CONCLUSION
We appreciate your time to review our application and look forward to receiving your support
and approval. By following the Planning Commissioners’ suggestion to add screening trees, we
have determined that we will be able to reduce the visibility ratio to less than 24.5% in 2 years
time or less (from time of planting). Along with making structural changes to reduce the overall
height, we hope to have addressed all concerns highlighted during the July 28 meeting.
Sincerely,
Gary Kohlsaat, Architect C19245

Hello Norm,
The Planning Commission continued the matter until August 25. The 1965 survey you have provided
does not establish a right of way (extension of Wood Rd.) across the back of the property. In order to
establish a right of way you will need to provide documentation that the area was dedicated to the
Town and then accepted by the Town. This documentation will be needed to be provided in order to
for the Planning Commission to take your request into consideration.
In accordance with the Santa Clara County Public Health Office Order, Town Offices are closed until further notice. Essential Town operations

This will confirm that we did not find evidence of the upper portion of Wood Road had
been dedicated to th e Town.
But I h ave attached a report from a title expert – Jim Weller, who h as h ad prior
experience in Los Gatos an d is a well-known title researcher.
It is h is conclusion that the private easem ent rem ains in place, crossing the upper
reaches of the applicant’s parcel. Notwithstanding th e RADE lot line adjustm ent that
had the result of transferring the fee from a separate parcel, labelled as Wood Road
pursuant to a 1965 Record of Survey, into the RADE adjacent holdings, in creating the
current lot configuration, the easement was not extinguished. It rem ains run n ing
through the new lots.
Thus, m y client ag ain requests that an y developm ent approval consider an d protect the

RE: Wood Road, Los Gatos - APN: 510-46-043
Dear Mr. Lewis and Mr. Matteoni:
You have engaged me to provide my professional consulting services with regard to the
above-referenced matter. As you know, I am an expert land title examiner, analyst, and advisor
practicing independently from my office in Capitola, California. My qualifications and expertise
come from some fifty years’ professional experience in land title practice, in connection with a
wide variety of California real property transactions and litigation. I am not an attorney at law.
My services do not include the practice of law, and my advice is not to be relied upon as legal
advice.
You have asked me to review a collection of maps and documents, some provided by
you, and some collected by me, including publicly available Record of Survey maps, a Prelimi-
nary Report dated July 25, 2018, Order No. 4312-5756414 (“the Prelim”) for David Ebrahimi
and Jean Ebrahimoun, Trustees (“Ebrahimi”), and relevant deeds and other documents of record,
concerning land in the Town of Los Gatos, County of Santa Clara, title to which is vested in your
clients Ebrahmi, and relevant as well to nearby and adjoining lands. Ebrahimi’s land, about six
acres in area, is designated as Assessor’s Parcels (“APN”) No. 510-46-006 and 510-46-007 (to-
gether and separately, the “Ebrahimi land,” including appurtenances, in some contexts).
I have reviewed the contents of all the maps and documents carefully, and I have exam-
ined the relevant land title record information indexed in the “title plant” maintained by Chicago
Title Company in San Jose, California. I have likewise obtained and reviewed copies of numer-
ous other relevant recorded deeds I was able to identify. I have carefully examined all of the rele-
vant recorded survey maps, and also all the relevant recorded deeds disclosed by notations on
those maps. I have provided you with digital copies of everything I have reviewed.
I have not myself conducted a comprehensive title search in the Santa Clara County Pub-
lic records. Nonetheless, in view of all the documentation I have reviewed, I believe I understand
the contents and significance of the relevant land title records adequately, so as to advise with
regard to the matters of concern to your clients.
Summary of Facts and Observations
landtitleguru.com
2
The Ebrahimi land abuts upon a private roadway area approximately 30 feet wide, com-
monly known as Wood Road. The northerly boundary of the Ebrahimi land is described in deeds
of record as the southerly boundary of Wood Road. I have been unable to determine how the title
in fee as to the roadway area adjoining the boundary of the Ebrahimi land is vested.
The adjacent part of Wood Road, extending easterly from the northerly corner of the
Ebrahimi land, was designated as a separately assessed parcel of land by the County Assessor,
APN 510-47-043 (“APN 043”) until February 15, 2017. Afterward, APN 043 was “retired” and
combined with the adjacent 4.321 acres of land now or formerly owned by RADE Properties,
LLC (“RADE”), now designated as APN 510-47-044 and 510-47-045 (the “RADE land.”)
This change was apparently made pursuant to the deed by Paul S. Liccardo and Toni A.
Liccardo to RADE, recorded October 13, 2015, Document No. 23105140, Official Records (the
“RADE deed”), and the Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment concerning the RADE land, recorded
October 26, 2016, Document No. 23477967, Official Records (the “RADE LLA”). The RADE
deed and the RADE LLA both described and depicted APN 043 as a part of the RADE land.
The RADE land, apparently including APN 043, was formerly owned by the Estate of
Irma L. Farwell, deceased (“Farwell”), who died on March 4, 1964. The corpus of her estate (the
“Farwell Estate”) was distributed according to a Decree of Final Distribution recorded Septem-
ber 14, 1965 in Volume 7102, pages 582-601, Official Records.
The relevant portion of the land belonging to the Farwell Estate was delineated and de-
picted on a Record of Survey map filed on February 10, 1965 in Book 190 of Maps, page 52,
Santa Clara County Records (the “Farwell Survey.”) According to the Farwell Survey, the 30-
foot wide segment of Wood Road (APN 043) that was situated between Parcel 1 (6.494 acres)
and Parcel 2 (4.321 acres) was a separate parcel of land, not part of either Parcel 1 or Parcel 2.
According to a Quitclaim Deed dated December 29, 1971, recorded March 6, 1972, in
Volume 9731, pages 555-556, Official Records, the distributees of the Farwell Estate remised
and relinquished their right, title, interest, or claim as to APN 43 unto Werner J. Jasper and Louis
L. Jasper (“Jasper”), who were then the owners of Parcel 2 of the Farwell Survey. In this 1971
Quitclaim Deed, APN 043 was described as “. . . a portion of the strip of land designated as
Wood Road [according to the Farwell Survey].” It appears that the title in fee as to APN 043 was
regarded as having been vested in the Farwell Estate, and it was the intent of the parties that it be
vested in the owner of Parcel 2. Jasper’s title to Parcel 2 and APN 043 was subsequently trans-
ferred to RADE.
The Farwell Estate’s title in fee as to Wood Road apparently was subject to a private, ex-
pressly granted easement described as “an open, free and unobstructed right of way from the
County Road known as the Santa Cruz Road to the above described property along the road now
used and sometimes called the Woods[sic] Road, said road being 20 to 30 feet wide” (the “Wood
Road right of way”) according to a deed dated January 24, 1948 by Albert Edward Gately, et al
(“Gately”), to James L. Countryman and Edna Countryman (“Countryman”), recorded in Vol-
ume 1563, pages 273-274, Official Records.

The 1948 Countryman grantees were the predecessors in title to Ebrahimi, and “Country-
man” was the owner of the Ebrahimi land in 1965, according to the Farwell Survey. Previously,
James L. Countryman was the owner of the Ebrahimi land according to the Record of Survey
filed September 21, 1951 in Book 35 of Maps, page 1, Santa Clara County Records. Alice Gately
was the owner of the Ebrahimi land according to the Map of the Oak Knoll Tract filed May 16,
1914 in Book “O” of Maps, pages 50-51, Santa Clara County Records.
I have not determined by what conveyance of record Gately or their predecessor(s) may
have acquired title to the Wood Road right of way, though I believe it is a reasonable conjecture
that it was granted by a deed executed decades earlier by Farwell, or her apparent predecessor, J.
W. Lyndon. The style of the language describing the Wood Road right of way indicates to me
that it was very likely granted early in the 20th century, or perhaps some years before then.
Where in fact, precisely, the actual traveled way of Wood Road was situated at any time
between 1914 and 1965 is indeterminate. The roadway through the RADE land, for travel to and
from the Ebrahimi land, may have been relocated, according to the Easement Deed dated Febru-
ary 20, 1974 by Rex George Moores, et al (“Moores and Nickele”), to James L. Countryman,
recorded July 31, 1974 in Volume B018, pages 553-554, Official Records.
In 1974, apparently, Moores and Nickele were the owners of the RADE land, that is, Par-
cel 2, and AP 43. According to this Easement Deed, Countryman was granted “an easement for
ingress and egress for road purposes” in “a strip of land [within Parcel 2] . . . 36.00 feet wide”
extending westerly from APN 043 to the easterly boundary of the Ebrahimi land (the “1974
roadway easement”). This roadway alignment is depicted in Exhibit “C” and Exhibit “E” at-
tached to the 2016 RADE LLA.
Furthermore, it appears that an adjoining portion of the RADE land, according to Exhibit
“D” and Exhibit “E” attached to the 2016 RADE LLA, was intended to become subject to an
“easement for ingress, egress & utilities” that would also be appurtenant to the Ebrahimi land.
Apparently, this additional easement was not granted of record to Ebrahimi.
Conclusions
In my opinion, the title in fee as to APN 043 is vested in RADE, or RADE’s successors
in interest. The title to the RADE land, including APN 043, is subject to the effect of the Wood
Road right of way, appurtenant to the Ebrahimi land, and the 1974 roadway easement, and the
effect of the additional easement described in “Exhibit “D” and depicted in “Exhibit E” of the
2016 RADE LLA, both appurtenant to the Ebrahimi land.

grading, drainage and leveling within the dripline of the tree unless approved by the Director.
3. Prohibit disposal or depositing of oil, gasoline, chemicals or other harmful materials within the
dripline of or in drainage channels, swales or areas that may lead to the dripline of a protected
tree.
4. Prohibit the attachment of wires, signs or ropes to any protected tree.
5. Design utility services and irrigation lines to be located outside of the dripline when feasible.

METHOD
1. STORY POLES WERE INSTALLED PER TOWN'S POLICY: WITH METAL
POLES AND ORANGE NETTING AND HEIGHTS WERE CERTIFIED.
2. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STORY POLES WERE TAKEN USING 50MM
AND 300MM LENSES.
3. SEE PHOTOS FOR RESULTS AND ANALYSIS.
REQUIREMENT
CONDUCT A VISIBILITY ANALYSIS AS REQUIRED BY THE HILLSIDE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR PROJECTS WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING VISIBLE FROM ANY ESTABLISHED VIEWING
AREA.
ANALYSIS RESULTS
3 OUT OF 4 ELEVATIONS OF THE PROPOSED HOME ARE NOT VISIBLE
TO THE VIEWING PLATFORM.
PART OF THE FRONT ELEVATION IS SHOWN TO BE PARTIALLY
VISIBLE TO THE VIEWING PLATFORM. THE RATIO BETWEEN VISIBLE
PART VS. NON-VISIBLE PART IS 42 : 58.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS TO MINIMIZE VISIBILITY OF
PROPOSED HOME
1. MINIMIZE BUILDING WIDTH ON VISIBLE SIDE OF THE LOT.
2. KEEP BUILDING NO MORE THAN 18 FEET ABOVE NATURAL GRADE.
3. EMPLOY TIER BUILDING CONFIGURATION, FOLLOWING THE HILLSIDE
NATURAL CONTOUR.
4. USE OF BELOW LRV LIMIT EXTERIOR FINISHES INCLUDING: ROOF
COVERING, WALL SIDING AND EXTERIOR TRIM.
5. SITE PLANNING TO PRESERVE EXISTING MATURE TREES, WHICH
PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL SCREENING OF HOME.
