Item 2 - Staff Report with Exhibits 16 through 19. 10 Charles Street PREPARED BY: Sean Mullin, AICP Planning Manager Reviewed by: Community Development Director 110 E. Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 ● (408) 354-6872 www.losgatosca.gov TOWN OF LOS GATOS PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT MEETING DATE: 05/28/2025 ITEM NO: 2 DATE: May 23, 2025 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider an Appeal of a Community Development Director Decision to Deny a Fence Exception Request for an Existing Fence Partially Located in the Town’s Right-of Way and Exceeding the Height Limitations within the Required Front Yard and Street-Side Yard Setbacks on Property Zoned R-1D. Located at 10 Charles Street. APN 532-36-022. Categorically Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303: New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Fence Height Exception Application FHE-23-001. Property Owner/Applicant/Appellant: Firouz Pradhan. Project Planner: Sean Mullin. BACKGROUND: On March 12, the Planning Commission considered the appeal of a Community Development Director decision to deny a fence height exception request for an existing fence partially located in the Town’s right-of way and exceeding the height limitations within the required front yard and street-side yard setbacks on property zoned R-1D, located at 10 Charles Street. The Planning Commission received the staff report, testimony from the applicant, input from the public, and voted unanimously to continue the matter to the April 23, 2025 meeting with the following direction to the applicant:  Address the right-of-way and safety issues created by the fence;  Redesign the fence at the corner of Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles Street to adhere to the Corner Sight Triangle standards to staffs’ approval;  Redesign the fence near the driveway serving 264 Los Gatos Boulevard to address sight and safety concerns; and  Any approval carry the conditions that there be no changes to the materials or solidness of the fence and that there be no plantings allowed along the fence. On April 23, 2025, staff recommended that the Planning Commission continue this matter to a date certain of May 28, 2025, to allow the applicant additional time to prepare a response to Page 9 PAGE 2 OF 5 SUBJECT: 10 Charles Street/FHE-23-001 DATE: May 23, 2025 C:\Users\MeetingsOfficeUser12\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpFF60.tmp the Commission’s direction of March 12, 2025. A member of the public pulled this item from the Consent Calendar and provided comments to the Commission. The Commission then continued this matter to the May 14, 2025 meeting. On May 14, 2025, staff recommended that the Commission continue this matter to the May 28, 2025 meeting due to the applicant’s previously arranged travel plans. The Commission continued this matter to the May 28, 2025 meeting. DISCUSSION: The subject property is located at the corner of Charles Street and Los Gatos Boulevard. The Town Code limits the height of fences, walls, trees, and shrubs to three feet when located in a required front and street side setbacks; corner sight triangle; driveway view area; or traffic view area. The subject property is encumbered by all four of these areas. Exhibit 16, prepared by staff, demonstrates the interaction of the various areas on the subject property to identify the portions of the property where a fence is limited to a maximum height of three feet. The entirety of the existing fence is located in areas limiting its height to three feet. Additionally, portions of the fence are located in the Charles Street right-of-way. In response to some of the discussion at the Planning Commission meetings of March 12, 2025 and April 23, 2025, staff contacted the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department and requested any record of collisions occurring at the corner of Charles Street and Los Gatos Boulevard within the last year. Police records for the last year include one reported collision at this intersection. As discussed below, the applicant submitted two letters that present two separate options for consideration by the Planning Commission. May 19, 2025 Letter Exhibit 17 includes a letter from the applicant dated May 19, 2025. This letter details the applicant’s efforts to address the Planning’s Commission’s direction. Specifically, the applicant indicates that they met with neighbors and Town staff to discuss modifications to the fence. The option presented in Exhibit 17 proposes to maintain the fence at the current height, design, and location with two modifications: 1. Corner of Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles Street – As shown in Exhibit B of the May 19, 2025 letter, the fence would be modified with the intent of meeting the corner sight triangle as discussed with the Town Engineer. The portions of existing fence located in the triangular area at the intersection having sides 30 feet in length as measured from the face of the curbs on Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles Street would be removed and a new matching portion constructed along the hypotenuse of the triangle. This modification would improve visibility through the corner. Staff notes that the proposed modification would not Page 10 PAGE 3 OF 5 SUBJECT: 10 Charles Street/FHE-23-001 DATE: May 23, 2025 C:\Users\MeetingsOfficeUser12\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpFF60.tmp meet the specific requirements of the definition of corner sight triangle provided in Town Code Sections 26.10.065 and 29.40.0310, which require the dimensions of the triangle to be measured from the intersecting property lines rather than the face of the curbs. 2. Adjacent to 264 Los Gatos Boulevard – As shown in Exhibit C of the May 19, 2025 letter (Exhibit 17), the fence adjacent to the driveway serving the adjacent property at 264 Los Gatos Boulevard would be modified with the intent of meeting the driveway view area as discussed with the Town Engineer. The applicant proposes to eliminate the portions of the fence located within a seven-foot by eight-foot triangle measured from the back of the sidewalk and a new matching portion constructed along the hypotenuse of the triangle. Staff notes that the proposed modification would not meet the specific requirements of the definition of driveway view area provided in Town Code Section 29.40.0310, which requires a triangle with 10-foot dimensions. Through the option presented in the May 19, 2025 letter (Exhibit 17), the applicant does not propose a height reduction. The proposed modifications would partially address the safety concerns created by fencing located in the corner sight triangle and driveway view areas; however, the modifications would not adhere to the dimensions required by the Town Code. With the modifications, the fence would remain in the required front and street side setbacks; corner sight triangle; driveway view area; and traffic view area at a height exceeding the maximum allowed three feet. Additionally, portions of the fence located along Charles Street would remain in the right-of-way and the applicant indicates that they are willing to enter into the appropriate agreements with the Town to maintain private improvements in the right-of-way. May 22, 2025 Letter Exhibit 18 includes a second letter from the applicant dated May 22, 2025. This letter responds to information provided by staff in an email following up on a meeting with the applicant and clarifying the proper dimensions for the corner sight triangle and driveway view area. In the letter, the applicant presents a second option (Exhibit G), which maintains the current height and design of the fence with the following modifications:  The fence would be moved further away from Los Gatos Boulevard. The letter provides three separate distances for the proposed relocation: three feet; three feet, six inches; and three feet, nine inches. The applicant confirmed to staff that the intent is to move the fence three feet, nine inches further away from Los Gatos Boulevard;  Trees planted in front of the fence would be relocated behind the relocated fence;  A portion of the relocated fence at the corner of Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles Street would be set at an angle to connect to the fence along Charles Street to address the sight lines at the corner; and Page 11 PAGE 4 OF 5 SUBJECT: 10 Charles Street/FHE-23-001 DATE: May 23, 2025 C:\Users\MeetingsOfficeUser12\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpFF60.tmp  A portion of the relocated fence adjacent to 264 Los Gatos Boulevard would be set at an angle to connect to the fence along the shared property line to address the sight lines at the neighbor’s driveway. Through the option presented in the May 22, 2025 letter (Exhibit 18), the applicant does not propose a height reduction. The proposed modifications would partially address the safety concerns created by fencing located in the corner sight triangle and driveway view areas; however, the fence would remain in the required front and street side setbacks; corner sight triangle; driveway view area; and traffic view area at a height exceeding the maximum allowed three feet. Additionally, portions of the fence located along Charles Street would remain in the right-of-way and the applicant indicated that they are willing to enter into the appropriate agreements with the Town to maintain private improvements in the right-of- way. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Public comments received between 11:01 am, Wednesday, April 23, 2025 and 11:00 am, Friday, May 23, 2025 are included as Exhibit 19. CONCLUSION: A. Summary The property owner is requesting that the Planning Commission grant their appeal of the Community Development Director’s decision to deny an exception to the fencing regulations, approving the exception for a fence partially located in the Town’s right-of- way and exceeding a height of three feet located in the front and street-side yard areas, traffic view area, corner sight triangle, and the Town’s right-of-way. The applicant responded to the March 12, 2025, direction of the Planning Commission with two options for modifications to the fence as described above and shown in Exhibits 17 and 18. B. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the appeal and uphold the Community Development Director decision to deny the requested exception due to safety and Town liability issues created with public improvements located in the Town’s right-of-way. C. Alternatives Alternatively, the Commission can: Page 12 PAGE 5 OF 5 SUBJECT: 10 Charles Street/FHE-23-001 DATE: May 23, 2025 C:\Users\MeetingsOfficeUser12\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpFF60.tmp 1.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 Respected Mr. Mullin.. 10 CHARLES STREET, LOS GATOS, CA 95030 – FENCE HEIGHT EXEMPTION [FHE-001] I am writing for your and the Planning Commission’s kind consideration with respect to the continuation of the Planning Commission’s hearing held on March 12th, 2025. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the above hearing, the Planning Commission deliberated over two key issues: (a) Visibility whilst egressing from Charles St, and from the neighbor’s property (b) Portion of the fence along Charles St being in the public right of way. With respect to (a), the Town recommended that I should work with the neighbors & the Staff to come up with a workable solution, and - with respect to (b) – while no decision was made, the Planning Commission was able to confirm with the Town Attorney that the Town could protect itself adequately if any concessions were made in this regard. FOLLOW-UP ACTION UNDERTAKEN With respect to the above, the following action steps were taken: (a) Engage with Neighbors (b) Engage with Staff, including in-person, on-site meetings with you & Gary Heap. (See Exhibit A capturing email exchange with the Town staff on this issue) PROPOSED MITIGATION TO ADDRESS VISIBILITY CONCERNS Per site visit by Mr. Gary Heap on Thursday, May 8, 2025, I was instructed to: “Submit a plan that shows removal of the fence at the corner within the 30’ triangle measured from the point at which the face of curb on Charles matches the face of curb on Los Gatos Boulevard. Likewise, you need to show removal of the fence along your neighbor’s property at their driveway. This would be a 10’ triangle measured 10 feet from the back of walk.” Accordingly, I have identified the corners of the 30’ triangle at the intersection of Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles St, as well as the 10’ triangle at the neighbor’s property. See Exhibit B & Exhibit C respectively showing photographs and plans showing location of the proposed fence, clearly understanding that any fence existing within the 30’ triangle will be removed. Notes: (a) The new sections of the proposed fence shall be built with the same design and specifications, including the large format lattice work for enhanced visibility, and shall not be replaced without the written approval of the Town of Los Gatos's Planning Department. (b) With respect to the neighbor’s property, I have also shown a 7’x8’ triangle as an option for consideration as this will enable us to build the new fence section without causing any disruption to the existing tree, but I shall implement the 10’ triangle if required. EXHIBIT 17Page 19 FENCE EXEMPTION APPLICATION – 10 CHARLES STREET, LOS GATOS, CA 95032 PROPOSED MITIGATION TO ADDRESS FENCE BEING IN THE TOWN’S RIGHT OF WAY With regard to the above, I would like to draw your attention to the following: 1. I had earlier stated that, to the best of my knowledge, I did recall that there was an existing fence along a good portion of Charles St when we acquired the property in February 2019, and that I was willing to swear, under penalty of perjury, that we simply built the new fence to mimic the location of the new fence as it existed then, and extend it along the rest of Charles St, simply following the bulge along the curb. I do understand, ofcourse, that even though we switched from a very tall and opaque fence to a custom-designed & custom-crafted lattice fence for aesthetic appeal & expanded visibility, our naiveté does not automatically grandfather the earlier fence. 2. As a couple of neighbors claimed that there was no fence at all along Charles St, and I did vividly remember otherwise, I dug into all past emails, public records, private archives etc, and, lo & behold, found photos of the fence that existed when we acquired the property in February 2019 (See Exhibit D). 3. If the fence along Charles had to be pushed back, access to the front yard – the principal area of kids to play – gets very tight, particularly as the front, right hand side corner of the home has been blessed with a cluster of heritage and other trees. 4. One of the neighbors, Mr. Douglas Olcott, informed me, via a letter, that “the public right of way narrows significantly as one approaches the boulevard due to the bulge in the curb line of the street. As a result of this, there is a risk of drivers, particularly at night, hitting the curb. The presence of the current fence which follows the bulge and the curb line actually provides more visibility whilst entering Charles St, thereby reducing the aforementioned risk factor.” 5. Most importantly, as I have said earlier in response to a question raised by one of the Commissioners during the March 12th hearing, I am willing to provide the Town the necessary documentation to ensure that any concessions given in this regard may be reversed at will by the Town. CONCLUSION I hope we have been able to demonstrate that the specific goals and concerns of the community as well as the Town have been met, and while we may have been short in meeting the letter of the code, we have clearly met the spirit of the law. REQUEST We once again humbly request you to grant us the exception. As I mentioned earlier, I will be travelling extensively overseas during the next couple of months, and would like to get the modifications as proposed above completed, ideally before my travel plans. Finally, please feel free to reach out to me in case you may have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, _____________ Firoz Pradhan Tel: 408.821.2052 Email: firoz.pradhan@gmail.com Enclosures: As above Page 20 EXHIBIT A Page 21 Based upon discussions with the Town's Engineering & Public Works Department held on Thursday, May 8th, it is proposed that the existing fence section at the corner of Los Gatos Boulevard and Charles St be removed, and be replaced with a new fence section that is angled along the straight line drawn from point A to point B, established or located per Public Works guidance as follows: ...... Point A to Point C (Curb Corner): 30'0"; Point B to Point C (Curb Corner): 30'0" (Note: Points A, B & C are shown above).> The new fence section, along with the existing fence section that will be retained, is shown in dark black line on the next sheet, while the resultingenhanced visibility triangle (on both sides) is shown shaded in green color.> All plants and bushes that fall within the visibility triangle shall be removed or maintained to a height of 36" maximum, while all original trees that existedprior to February 2019 when the property was acquired shall be retained.> I humbly request that all existing plants, busies and trees that are inside the proposed fence (i.e. outside the visibility triangle be allowed to be retained.> The existing fence design and specifications, including the large format lattice work, shall be retained for enhanced visibility, and shall not be replacedwithout the written approval of the Town of Los Gatos's Planning Department.ABCCURB CORNEREXHIBIT BPage 22 BALL EXISTING FENCE IN 30' & 10' TRIANGLES TO BE REMOVEDPage 23 Page 24 EXHIBIT CFENCE MODIFICATION AT INTERIOR PROPERTY (COMMON FENCE SHARED WITH MICHELLE)The proposed fence modification plan is based upon a 10'x 10' triangle as directed by Public Works. However, constructing a fence along this pathmay interfere with the existing tree (shown in the picture above). Accordingly, an alternative is shown by constructing a visibility triangle using approximately 7'0" along Los Gatos Boulevard and 8'0" along the common shared fence so as to avoid any damage or disruption to the tree. This option will also enable us to simply remove the two existing corner fence sections, and construct a new section connecting the two existing non-corner posts. Needless to say, while this significantly enhances visibility, and, hence, we feel it is a practical solution, we are open to implementing the 10' x 10' triangle if mandated.Page 25 1Page 26 SOLID WOOD FENCE SHOWN HERE, MOSTLY COVERED WITH HEDGE, BUT STILL PARTIALLY VISIBLE HERE WITH LATTICE WORK AT BOTTOM SECTION.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 Respected Mr. Mullin.. 10 CHARLES STREET, LOS GATOS, CA 95030 – FENCE HEIGHT EXEMPTION [FHE-001] Thank you for taking the time to meet with me this morning, and helping me understand the implications of the email dated 05/19/25 (Exhibit E) sent by James Watson.. Based upon this, I am attaching two exhibits for your and the Planning Commission’s review and kind consideration: Exhibit F - As mandated per James Watson Email - per Town Code - May-20-2025 Exhibit G - Proposed Mitigation per Neighbor Discussions - May-09-2025 It is very clear to me that the fence configuration shown in Exhibit F is extremely onerous, impractical and unacceptable, yielding a loss of 55% of the front yard (totally 1,525 sft), and causing significant hardships! I strongly feel that the mitigation worked out with all but one of the neighbors (Exhibit G) works really well, both in terms of addressing any visibility or safety concerns, as well as allaying my personal apprehensions I may have had around security. I equally feel confident that the mitigation that was explained by the Public Works staff during the site visit on Thursday, May 8th, and which was acceptable to me, and proposed in my earlier submission to you via email dated 05/19/25 (See Exhibit B & Exhibit C attached with that email) works equally well, and also enjoys the support of most of the neighbors. CONCLUSION I hope we have been able to demonstrate that the specific goals of the community as well as any practical concerns of the Town Staff have been met, and while we may have been short in meeting the letter of the code, we have clearly met the spirit of the law. REQUEST We once again humbly request you to grant us the exception by allowing us to move forward with the mitigation proposed in Exhibits B & C (preferred), or in Exhibit G. Finally, please make my earlier submission dated 05/19/25 part of your Staff Report. And please feel free to reach out to me in case you may have any questions or concerns.
