APRIL 21, 2017
A. Architecture
The Planning Commission gave direction to the applicant to consider making the following
modifications to the design of the building:
• Modify the color of the exterior plaster and incorporate the use of more natural
materials like stone or wood;
• Reduce the height of architectural elements that add to the mass of the building; and
• Address features that increase the perceived height of the building.
The applicant made the following modifications explained in the summary of changes
document and addendum, dated March 14, 2017 and April 7, 2017 (Exhibits 23 and 24).
The amount of exterior plaster that was previously proposed was reduced along all of the
elevations, in addition to modifying the color to more of an earth tone. Additional wood
siding was added to the elevations to strengthen the residential feel of the building. The
previous proposal included two tower features along the front elevation. The applicant has
eliminated one tower with one remaining towards the southern property line that is
required for a stairwell and roof access. The applicant modified the southern elevation to
step down to a single-story element with a maximum height of 20 feet. Lastly, the applicant
modified the roof style along the northern portion of the building from a front-to-back
gable roof with a peak ridgeline to a shed roof. The maximum height of the building is still
proposed at 35 feet through the center ridgeline of the building; however, the wall plane
heights at the southern and northern elevations were reduced between four feet and 10
feet due to the modification from a front-to-back gable roof to a shed roof (Exhibit 28,
Sheet A2.0).
B. Site Design
The Planning Commission gave direction to the applicant to consider making the following
modifications to the siting of the building on the property:
• Set the building back an additional10 feet towards the rear of the property;
• Add a solid wall fence along the southern property line adjacent to the residential use;
and
• Relocate the exhaust fan.
As explained in the summary of changes and addendum (Exhibits 23 and 24), the applicant
set the building back towards the rear of the property an additional six feet, resulting in a
proposed front setback of 35 feet, nine inches; where 25 feet is required by Town Code .
Pushing the building back 10 feet would result in the elimination of the existing trees along
the eastern property line and would create drainage and water treatment challenges. In
addition, the decorative metal panel along the perimeter edge of the surface parking lot

APRIL 21, 2017
was replaced with a 42-inch tall masonry wall to address the adjacent neighbor's concerns
regarding the reflections of vehicle headlights and to provide an additional level of
protection against vehicles. Lastly, the exhaust fan was relocated from the southern
property line and is now proposed to be vented vertically through the roof of the building.
C. Landscaping
The Planning Commission gave direction to the applicant to address the following landscape
concerns:
• Clarify the discrepancy with the plan set and the Consulting Arborist's report; and
• Retain more trees .
The applicant modified Sheet L-2 of Exhibit 28 to address previous discrepancies of tree
numbering with the Consulting Arborist's report previously included as Exhibit 7. In order
to set the building back an additional six feet to the rear of the property, tree #25, a 17-inch
Coast Live Oak tree and tree #40, a 16-inch Valley Oak tree are now proposed to be
removed. However, tree #8, a six-inch Coast Live Oak tree that is located along the front
elevation is now proposed to be retained . The applicant is also proposing the addition of
three new 24-inch box trees along the front elevation to help screen the building from
Winchester Boulevard (Exhibit 23).
D. Traffic
Planning Commissioners expressed concerns with vehicles exiting left out of the surface
parking lot onto Winchester Boulevard, and asked whether a crosswalk or traffic signal
should be installed at Winchester Boulevard and Shelburne Way.
The applicant's traffic consultant, Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. submitted a
memorandum in response to the above concerns of the Commission (Exhibit 26). The
traffic consultant stated that prohibiting left turns from the surface parking lot onto
Winchester Boulevard is not recommended because the diverted traffic would impact the
surrounding residential streets, including Via Sereno and Bruce Avenue. Hexagon stated
that vehicles unable to turn left onto Winchester Boulevard would exit north on Winchester
Boulevard and immediately turn left onto Via Sereno to complete a three-point turn or legal
u-turn in order to travel south on Winchester Boulevard (Exhibit 26). Similarly, vehicles
traveling north along Winchester Boulevard that are unable to turn left into the surface
parking lot may use Bruce Avenue to complete a three-point turn or legal u-turn in order to
be able to turn right into the surface parking lot. According to the traffic consultant, "such
maneuvers would unnecessarily add traffic impacts to Via Sereno and Bruce Avenue ."

APRIL 21,2017
Hexagon does not recommend the installation of a crosswalk or signal at the intersection of
Shelburne Way and Winchester Boulevard as it is not warranted by the traffic volume,
delay, pedestrian volume, and accident history. In addition, a traffic signal with crosswalks
is located one block away at Daves Avenue (Exhibit 26).
Parks and Public Works staff and the Town's traffic consultant, TJKM have reviewed the
letter prepared by Hexagon and agree with the findings of the letter. Parks and Public
Works staff and TJKM will be available at the Planning Commission meeting to answer
additional questions the Commission may have.
E. Neighborhood Outreach
The Planning Commission gave direction to the applicant to continue outreach meetings
with the neighbors. In response to the Commission's direction, the applicant met with the
neighbors twice to discuss changes to the project on February 16, 2017 and March 2, 2017.
The meeting attendees for the February 16, 2017 meeting are included as Exhibit 25 and
additional correspondence that occurred after the neighborhood outreach meetings are
included as Exhibit 27 .

a. If noise generation, ground disturbance, vegetation removal, or other construction
activities begin during the nesting bird season (February 1 to August 31), or if
construction activities are suspended for at least two weeks and recommence during
the nesting bird season , then the project developer shall retain a qualified biologist to
conduct a pre-construction survey for nesting birds. The survey shall be performed
within suitable nesting areas on and adjacent to the site to ensure that no active nests
would be disturbed during project implementation. This survey shall be conducted no
more than two weeks prior to the initiation of construction activities. A report
documenting survey results and plan for active bird nest avoidance (if needed) shall be
completed by the qualified biologist and submitted to the Town of Los Gatos for
approval prior to initiation of construction activities. If no active bird nests are
detected during the survey, then construction activities can proceed as scheduled.
However, if an active bird nest of a native species is detected during the survey, then a
plan for active bird nest avoidance shall be prepared to determine and clearly
delineate a temporary protective buffer area around each active nest, with buffer area
size depending on the nesting bird species, existing site conditions, and type of
proposed construction activities. The protective buffer area around an active bird
nest is typically 75-250 feet, determined at the discretion of the qualified biologist and
in compliance with any applicable project permits. To ensure that no inadvertent
impacts to an active bird nest will occur, no construction activities shall occur within
the protective buffer area(s) until the juvenile birds have fledged (left the nest), and
there is no evidence of a second attempt at nesting, as determined by the qualified
biologist.

Project Submittal Summary of Changes
Ms. Puga:
m m
VALLEY OAK ,., PARTNERS ~
The following is a summary of changes made to the project as part of the resubmittal made March 14, 2017:
1 . Shifted building away from Winchester
We examined pushing the building back and determined that we could push the building an additional 6 feet
away from Winchester Blvd. Pushing beyond this distance would result in elimination of all trees along the
eastern property line and create drainage and water treatment difficulties. By pushing back 6 feet, we were
able to increase our setbacks from Winchester to 35 .9' at the corner of Shelburne and 44.4' across the front
of the building (vs. a required 25 feet). Pushing the building back 6 feet did result in the elimination of two
additional trees (#25 and #40). However, we were able to save one additional tree along the front of the
building that was previously marked for removal (tree #8) strengthening the visual landscape appeal along
Winchester Blvd with the addition of the tree in front.
2 . Reduction in Height
We took a step back and relooked at how to approach reducing height along Winchester. As we examined
the building, we realized that the center section of the building will be concealed by the large existing trees
we are retaining (#8, 9 , and 16), as well as the Shelburne side (#2 and 3). There were however two
"windows" between these existing trees that required rethinking and architectural changes. The first change
we made was to change the roof style along the northern portion of the building from a front-to-back gable
roof with a peak ridge line to a shed roof running south to north . This created a substantial reduction in peak
height along this portion of the building (from 32'2" down to 24 '1 0") and also reduced the eave height slightly
from 25'6" down to 24'10".
We then looked at the southern portion of the building along the University Oaks and determined a redesign
was needed . By shifting the elevator shaft and bathroom locations inward, we were able to redesign the
southern portion of the building into a single story element with a max height less than 20'. This area
extended the building away from the Shelburne side an additional 16.5' so that the two-story element of the
building how starts 94.5" away from the southern property line (vs a prior 78').
3 . Elimination of "tall" architectural features
We eliminated several of the "tall " architectural features including one of the shed roof towers (the only
remaining one is now toward the south and necessitated by our stairwell and roof access requirements. We
also eliminated one of the pop-up "chimney" towers along the southern rear of the building.

4. Change in building materials
We added a substantial amount of the wood siding material, eliminating plaster areas, while also changing
the style of siding. For the remaining plaster areas, we darkened the color. The result is a building that has a
strengthened residential feel, with the colors and materials created a much more natural, earthen feeling .
5. Relocation of subterranean garage vent
We moved the vent location away from the southern property line and are now venting vertically through the
stairwell location within the building up through the roof
6. Decorative Metal Panel
Per our statement at the prior hearing, we eliminated the decorative metal panel running along the perimeter
edge of the parking structure and replaced with a 42" masonry wall. This will serve the dual purpose of
eliminating a ny perceived headlight issues, while adding an additional level of protection against vehicles
accidentally driving over the edge of the parking structure.
7 . Additional new tree plantings
While not able to retain any additional existing trees , we were able to add three additional new tree
plantings. These were strategically located along the front of the building to help accomplish the suggestion
by commissioners that the landscaping help screen the building and let the building "disappear."
8 . Updated the plan sheets to match the Arborist Report #5 dated June 10 , 2016 Summary Tree
Table. Arborist Report #6 dated July 22, 2016 did not include a tree table (provided pruning and
sidewalk installation guidelines), and Report #5 is the most recent table.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the changes .

Our March 14 , 2017 letter summarized many of the changes made to th e project in response to comments made
by Commissioners and neighbors at the January 25, 2017 hearing. As a companion to the letter, we felt that it
would be helpful to include a visual summary of the changes made showing a before and after. Such
presentation accompanies this letter.
In addition, we wanted to address several additional comments made at the January 25,2017 hearing :
1. Meet with Neighbors to discuss plan revisions
We held a community meeting on February 161h and a follow-up meeting on March 2"d. The meetings were
collaborative and resulted in many of the changes reflected in the plans . Not every request by neighbors
could be accommodated, but many were and resulted in project improve ments. This has been a wonderful
group to interact with and a great example of how a process should be run . Reflects extremely positive on
the quality of citizens within th e Town .
2. Meeting with Safe Routes to Schools
We met with Safe Routes to School Coordinator Karen Briones and reviewed the project details, driveway
locations, and Winchester frontag e improvements. We discussed traffic circulation relative to Walk 'n Roll
school route s along Winchester and surrounding area. Kare n felt that the improvements (particularly the
bulbouts for crossing Shelburne) would enhance the route to sc hool and did not express any co nce rns with
project design .

to avoid blocking other driveways where left turns currently are allowed . Small islands can create
safety issues because motorists do not expect them and/or do not see them , and they can lose
control upon striking an island. Also, because small islands get hit often , they require frequent
maintenance.
2. Should a crosswalk or signal be installed at Shel burne/Winchester?
Response : Hexagon does not recommend a crosswalk or signal at the intersection of Shelburne
Way and Winchester Boulevard . Reasons for this recommendation include : (i) a traffic signal is not
warranted, (ii) a traffic s ignal could create unintended consequences , and (iii) a traffic signal with
crosswalks is located one block away at Daves Avenue.
SIGNAL WARRANT
Traffic signals are expensive to install and operate, and they can actually increase delay and
accidents if used in the wrong situation . Therefore , the traffic engineering community has
established a set of criteria , called "warrants," that should be met before a signal is considered.
The warrants consider traffic volume, delay, pedestrian volume, and accident history. The warrants
have been checked for Shelburne Way at Winchester Boulevard, and none of the warrants would
be met at that intersection . Therefore, a traffic signal is not recommended.
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Along with a traffic signal , standard signalized intersection design dictates that a left turn pocket
would need to be installed at Shelburne Way. The left turn pocket at Shelburne Way would mean
that left turns would need to be cut off at Via Sereno . Therefore , one consequence of a signal at
Shelburne is that left turns would no longer be allowed at Via Sereno. Also , a signa l would
encourage school children to cross Winchester Bou levard at Shelburne Way rather than at Daves
Avenue where there is a crossing guard. Either the school would need to spend extra money to
supply a second crossing guard , or children would have to be discouraged from cross ing at
Shelburne Way.
WALKING TO SCHOOL
The Commission was concerned about the safety of school children walking to Daves Avenue
School. Hexagon believes that adequate safety for children already is provided by the traffic signal
at Daves Avenue. This signal has pedestrian s ignal heads and is augmented with a crossing guard
before and after school.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

RE: 15860-15894 Winchester Blvd -Follow Up Meeting
My apologies for not being clear-I'm looking for cross sections of the existing natural grade, knowing that the building
hasn't been completed yet; nothing can 'change' the existing natural grade.
I can estimate the existing natural grade by looking at the elevations by each tree but simply having a cross section of
the existing natural grade would make it much clearer and e·asier to understand, regardless of the dimensions of the
proposed building.
The existing natural grade data should be in the BIM software so the 'layer' to show is merely the existing natural grade .
Does this clarify what I am interested in?

commission and will present at our meeting. We also want to discuss/brainstorm regarding
building materials and how to "soften" the architecture as well as discuss any other items
(southern PL landscaping, garage wall vs decorative metal panel, etc)

Doug,
I wanted to make sure I thanked you for the meeting tonight and the work you and your team
have done since the planning commission meeting. While we're not there yet, I do think the
meeting was productive and I do appreciate some of the changes you have proposed. I look
forward to our next meeting that focuses more on the southern elevation.
Jocelyn/Joel,
I wanted to make sure you saw this as well to know that we are continuing the discussion. I
know that Doug has heard what the neighbors are saying. He also presented very clearly what he
considers possible and impossible and we continue to work on options.

I missed this response earlier.
You are correct that there is one residential neighborhood remaining. That said, if you zoom out all other
neighbors are commercial and a few look like they were likely residential until this was built and then converted
to office. We don't want to be forced to think this way after the fact of poor planning. I also doubt this other
office complex complied with the spirit ofLU 6.3.
This said, as I expressed at the planning commission and at our last meeting, the quantitative measure of
proximity is percentage of blocked views from our main residence windows. I hope that we see a reductions
that impacts the southern elevation.
Thanks!

Andrew-
I'll review your responses below ahead of our Thurs meeting. Just one initial point of clarification to your #6
below-The Palo Alto building does border on residential (see attached pic). North side is single family
residential and Palo Alto elected to do the opposite of us -they sited the building against this neighbor (I believe
a 1 0' setback) rather than pushing back.

are less severe to immediate neighbors and -b)-the-at grade-parking is truly at grade (they-didn't
build up like you plan to) and c) the planning commission said that the impact of the Palo Alto
medical office it "disappointing" (I don't think they would want to continue to be equivalent to
"disappointing"). If you do not plan to lower the height, I see it as critical to provide as much
information as possible on the cross sections that document more clearly the height difference
with existing grade when viewed from the southern elevation.
Thanks!

Doug,
I was able to review the planning commission meeting this evening. While we
need to meet on the areas for improvement noted by the commission based on our
earlier co~ents , there were a few new areas that came up during the meeting
that I'd like more information on before we meet.
Can you provide information on the following areas?
1. Number of people expected with the current square footage
Can you more clearly document what the likely minimum and maximum office
professional occupancy will be? Also, will you be able to guarantee these
numbers for all potential uses of the office building? This number was very
unclear during the meeting with multiple conflicting numbers quoted .
In my own research , a quick google search suggests 200 square foot I person with
tech in the Bay Area going as low as 125 square foot I person with a national
2017 average of 150 square foot I person.
As I menti on ed at the hearin g, thi s is dependent on the tenant and I don't have a tenant id en tifie d .
Typi c all y (with som e exception s), ten ants are n ot interested in engaging with a pro p erty own er
until a building permit is in hand. Thi s m ake s s en se as facilities management is low on most
co mpany 's li st and they don 't want to w aste time if its unclear if the space wi ll even b e available.
With that sa id , please note the following :
1) The 30,070 square fe et is the "Gro ss Area" (entire building area), not just office/cubi cle area.
In other word s, this number include s what I'll ca ll "share d support spaces" or "individual tenant
c ommon are as ". You wi11 need to remove these areas when p erfonning you r calculatio n. The se
3
areas include things such as: i) Lobby/reception, ii) Bathrooms, iii) Conference Rooms , iv)
Stairs, v) Hallways/Corridors-typically called "circulation", v) Storage\Closets, vi) Lunch
Room/kitchens, vii) copy rooms/work rooms. The accepted metric is that just the circulation
component of an office typically runs 35% of a building. Common Areas run from 10 to 20%. So
to bring this back to our building, if we assume the midpoint of the common area allocation, you
would take the 30,070 square feet , remove 50% of the building for the shared /circulation areas to
get to 15 ,035 square feet. Then if we take the more aggressive number listed above at 125 square
foot person, you would get 120 employees in the building.
From an actual industry implementation, space planners work the other direction or "bottom up ."
They 'll take: (i) the number of employees they have multiplied by average space per person, (ii)
number of conference rooms , work rooms , kitchen , etc multiplied by desire sizes of tho se
buildings, and then (iii) add all that together to get what the industry calls "Net Area or NSF."
Then they'll add the circulation factor to that subtotal to get their total footage requirements (this
excludes the "Common Area" load factor which office owners will then automatically aHocate to
each tenant).
Side Note: I used the term "shared or common space" above for convenience. The
term "common space" is a very defined and narrow term within building management vernacular
to mean "areas common to all tenants." These would be things such as elevators , main building
lobbies, exit stairs, mechanical rooms and core toilets. If you're online researching, yo u'll most
likely run across the term being used this way and a common space load factor.
2. Number of trips expected per day and at peak hours
Can we get a copy of the traffic study used in the planning? I don't believe it has
been made available online. Much like the number of people, this was very
unclear during the meeting with multiple conflicting numbers quoted.
See Jocelyn Puga email on 2/2117
3. Expectation on needs for overflow parking
Combining #2 and #3, I now have concerns of parking beyond the 128
spaces. Can you guarantee that the 128 parking spaces will be sufficient for all
potential uses of the office building at 30,000 square foot? As you know we have
very limited parking in University Oaks and we wouldn't want new development
to take over the limited on street parking that is used for visitors to our
neighborhood.
See comment to #1 above. Here, you also need to remember working habit s/situations of
employees. On any given day , you will have employees: i) on vacation, ii) sick , iii) on business
trip , and iv) working from home/telecommuting (becoming more and more common). This also
doesn 't take into account our TDM measures including transit subsidies, carpooling preference
and bike/shower amenities. Of course, we need to recognize there will be visitors , so that will
work the other direction. But overall , in addition to the # of employees discussion above is the
added factor that not every employee i s physically at their place of work on a given day.
4
The Town of Los Gatos has defined parking requirements being met by the project. These
requirements have been developed through the u se oflong-term observation by industry
specialists. In our experience, they work well meeting the parking needs of an office project in
this area.
4. Updates on the tree removal
Part of the concern we need to resolve is the size of the building as viewed from our southern
elevation. Can you confirm that all existing trees between our 706/708 unit and the building will
be removed (including the trees that could have buffered our view -#18 which seems to be the
largest and healthiest protected tree on the entire property and #34 another protected
tree). Commissioner Hudes was asking for the tree schedule to be confirmed and expressed
concern on removing trees. Can you confirm that L-2 and C2.0 are accurate as it relates to trees
neighboring our property?
Trees 31-33 and 37 , 38 along the South PL are scheduled for removal (Tree #18 is approx 75'
into the property; not sure if you were referring to another tree, but to answer your question #18
is being removed). We are, however, planting 19 new trees along the southern property to
address your concern regarding view buffering. I acknowledge that these trees will take time to
reach maturity, but I do believe that they will achieve the desired goal. If there are specific
directions you would like to give regarding locations or tree species, would be glad to discuss
with you. We are updating the tree exhibit to remove trees not designated as "Protected Trees "
under the Town Ordinance (which consequently weren 't included in the arborist 's report) which
is what created some confusion.
"5. More information on the wall and screen
During your opening statements, you showed a detailed diagram of the metal screen for another
property. In the picture it had a -4' wall with a screen on top. In the cross section you prepared
for us, the screen wasn't on top of a wall (it was directly on top of the continuous curb). ·Did you
mean to suggest by showing this that you would propose the screen on top of a wall?
Is this picture of the screen from a property within the bay area? It might be worth us neighbors
going to take a look at this screen if there is a similar one nearby.
Unfortunately, not aware of a property in Los Gatos vicinity that has one of these screens
installed. You are correct-the screen is currently contemplated to go on top of the continuous
curb (consistent with the cross section I previously provided). However, as mentioned at the
hearing, I am willing to replace the screen along the southern edge of the parking with a wall if
that is your preference. Let me know how you would like to proceed.
6. More planes for understanding height
Chair O'Donnell asked about the slope of the property in relation to the Palo Alto Medical
building. We know from living here that Palo Alto drops far quicker than the planned drop of "at
grade" parking in the plans. Also, we know that "at grade" of the plans do not match true "at
grade" of our neighboring property due to the need for underground parking. Commissioner
Hudes noted how the plans are currently unclear on the maximum from existing grade
height. Bryan Mekechuk suggested that the current plane shows the best case scenario for the
from existing grade height. Can we get a few more planes to truly understand the height from
our current existing grade (also asked for by Bryan Mekechuk)? From our elevation it is this
5
height above our existing grade of our property that impacts us the most (regardless of how far
set back from Winchester the building is).
I believe Joel Paulson (copied here) clarified to Commissioner Hudes the Town's calculation of
height and that the project was correctly displaying height measurements per Town code. I need
to do a little more research regarding the Palo Alto building. I'll have the civil look at that
building prior to our meeting.
7. More information on the stairs
Commissioner Badame pointed out safety and fire code issues with the stairs immediately
neighboring our property. In response, Chek Tang only responded to the fire code issue and
stated, "our stair actually isn't within the 1 0' separation". A 1.0 shows the stairs within the 1 0'
setback. Also, L-1 seems to show the stairs as 4' wide only 5'9" from the property line. Can you
help me understand this better?
Good question. Here is the clarification : The steps are within the 1 0 ' setback. I think the
confusion occurred relative to the fire code issue. The steps are not part of the structure and are
not enclosed. Hence, there is not a fire-rating they need to achieve. They 're simply steps with a
handrail down to the door of the underground garage which will be a self-locking door
precluding access from outside. They were designed this way to facilitate security.
8. More information on exterior materials
Commissioner Burch, at the meeting and the CDAC before, asked if the exterior could decrease
the amount of white stucco/glazing. While the focus of this might have been on the front, I note
that the southern elevation is almost entirely this material. When Chek Tang said at the meeting
that you would consider more warm wooden material usage, was this just for the Winchester
elevation or our elevation as well? Combined with better trees on our elevation this may help
soften the impact of the height of the wall that all of our homes will face.
Good suggestion. Let's discuss at our meeting and we'll kick around some different ideas.
I will be getting together soon with the neighbors to prepare to meet with you. If you can answer
some of these questions that came up due to the new information at the planning commission
meeting, it will help us understand where we currently stand so we can make better suggestions.
Thanks!

Winchester Office Building Question
My children walk to school. They attend both Daves and Fisher schools. I have read the documents and did not notice
any information of keeping the route to school safe during construction.
How will truck traffic be managed during the morning, afternoon and mid-day (early release) hours for the schools? The
traffic study took peak traffic times into account, does that include school drop off and pick up or just typical rush traffic
times as related to people going or returning to work.
Also how will construction traffi c be managed during summer peak hours? Traffic on Winchester and Blossom Hill are
already being impacted by water main project on Winchester. Will the W inchester project, especially the demolition
part, take place during the time University i s closed for water main replacement, till end of May?
I am mostly looking for reassurance that the route to schools were taken into consideration when evaluating traffic.
Thank you for your t i me.

more at height of the building elevation acting in place of the c urrent sound wall. We also are concerned that
the 10 foot buffer with walls on all sides could have security and safety issu es similar to what we've seen at the
Palo Alto Medical building. We observed evidence that thi s has led to homeless encampment there with a
similar setup.
Doug (and others), if you have any clarifications please add them.
Thanks!
