CEQA:
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation
of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303: New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures. The project proposes new fencing and a vehicular gate.
FINDINGS:
▪ The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303: New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
ACTION:
The decision of the Planning Commission is final unless appealed within ten days.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Tait and Bean Avenues in the
Almond Grove Historic District (Exhibit 1).
On September 6, 2021, the property owner applied for an exception to the Town’s fence
regulations to construct a vehicular gate and fencing on the subject property, portions of which
deviate from the Town Code fence regulations for height and setbacks (Exhibit 4). The property
owners’ request was based on concerns related to privacy and security on the corner lot.
On September 17, 2021, staff contacted the property owner to discuss concerns with the
proposed plan and explore potential options available. Staff outlined concerns related to
pedestrian safety and consistency with the Town Code.
On September 23, 2021, the Town denied the exception request because the location of the
solid fencing relative to the driveway creates a safety concern as vehicles exit the driveway and
cross over the sidewalk and into the roadway and the reduced setback of the vehicular gate
would not allow for vehicles to clear the travel lanes while queuing (Exhibit 5).
On October 4, 2021, the decision of the Community Development Director to deny the
exception request was appealed to the Planning Commission (Exhibit 6).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION (continued):
Almond Grove Historic District (Exhibit 1). The property is surrounded by medium-density
residential properties and Saint Mary’s Church to the southeast.
B. Project Summary and Zoning Compliance
The property owner is appealing the Community Development Director decision to deny a
request for an exception to the fencing regulations of the Town Code to construct a
vehicular gate and fencing. Except for the items discussed below, the proposed project
complies with all other Town Code requirements.
DISCUSSION:
A. Fence Height Exception
The property owner requested an exception to the fence regulations to construct a
vehicular gate and fencing exceeding the three-foot height limitation when located in a
required street-side setback, traffic view area, and driveway view area; and a vehicular gate
that does not meet the 18-foot setback requirement as measured from the edge of the
street (Exhibit 4).
Per Town Code Section 29.40.0315 (a)(3), fences, walls, gates, and hedges may not exceed a
height of three feet when located within a required front or side yard abutting a street,
driveway view area, or traffic view area unless an exception is granted by the Town
Engineer and Community Development Director. This regulation is intended to minimize
conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and cars by ensuring fences, walls, gates, and
hedges do not obstruct the view from a car as it exits a driveway and crosses over a
sidewalk to enter the roadway. Limiting the height of fences and gates to no more than
three feet in these areas allows drivers and pedestrians a view of each other while
continuing to afford property owners the opportunity to define the boundaries of their
property. The required street-side setback in the R-1D zone is 10 feet. A traffic view area is
the area which is within 15 feet of a street and a driveway view area is a triangular area at
the intersection of driveways and sidewalks and street intersections having sides 10 feet in
length (Exhibit 7). Staff has prepared an exhibit showing the locations of these areas and
the proposed fencing and vehicular gate (Exhibit 8). The proposed six-foot tall vehicular
gate would be setback approximately 18-inches from the property line and the proposed
six-foot tall solid fencing adjacent to the driveway would be set at the property line.
Per Town Code Section 29.40.0315 (c)(3), vehicular gates shall be set back from the edge of
the adjacent street a minimum of 18 feet. The intent of this regulation is to allow for
vehicles to clear the travel lanes while queuing as the gate is opening. The required

S:\PLANNING COMMISSION REPORTS\2021\11-10-21\Item 3 - Tait Avenue, 103\Staff Report.103 Tait Avenue.docx
DISCUSSION (continued):
vehicular setback is shown on Exhibit 8. The proposed vehicular gate would be setback
approximately eight feet from the edge of the street.
Town Code Section 29.40.0320, provided below, allows an exception to any of the fence
regulations if a property owner can demonstrate that one of the following conditions exist.
Sec. 29.40.0320. - Exceptions.
An exception to any of these fence regulations may be granted by the Community
Development Director. A fence exception application and fee shall be filed with the
Community Development Department and shall provide written justification that
demonstrates one (1) of the following conditions exist:
(a) Adjacent to commercial property, perimeter fences or walls may be eight (8) feet if
requested or agreed upon by a majority of the adjacent residential property owners.
(b) On interior lots, side yard and rear yard fences, walls, gates, gateways, entry arbors,
or hedges, behind the front yard setback, may be a maximum of eight (8) feet h igh
provided the property owner can provide written justification that either:
(1) A special privacy concern exists that cannot be practically addressed by
additional landscaping or tree screening; or
(2) A special wildlife/animal problem affects the property that cannot be practically
addressed through alternatives. Documented instances of wildlife grazing on
gardens or ornamental landscaping may be an example of such a problem.
(c) At public utility facilities, critical infrastructure, and emergency access locations,
exceptions may be granted where strict enforcement of these regulations will result
in a security or safety concern.
(d) A special security concern exists that cannot be practically addressed through
alternatives.
(e) A special circumstance exists, including lot size or configuration, where strict
enforcement of these regulations would result in undue hardship.
The property owner requested an exception due to security and privacy concerns
(Exhibit 4). The security concerns were related to the property’s proximity to Saint Mary’s
Church and N. Santa Cruz Avenue, citing multiple trespassing incidents. Regarding the
privacy concerns, the property owner cited the nature of the small corner lot limiting their
backyard area and the setback requirements of six-foot tall privacy fencing further reducing
the size of the backyard.
Staff was unable to support the proposed exceptions as the location of the solid fencing
relative to the driveway creates a safety concern as vehicles exit the driveway and cross
over the sidewalk to enter the roadway. Additionally, the location of the vehicular gate
would not allow for vehicles to clear the travel lanes while queuing. Parks and Public Works

DISCUSSION (continued):
reviewed the proposal and could not support the exception requests regarding the
driveway view area and vehicular gate setback, citing the heavy pedestrian traffic along the
street. The Town denied the exception request on September 23, 2021 (Exception 5).
B. Appeal Analysis
The decision of the Community Development Director to deny the Fence Height Exception
application was appealed by the property owner on October 4, 2021 (Exhibit 6). In their
appeal, the property owner reiterates and details their safety and privacy concerns. The
property owner also states that the exception request is compatible with the neighborhood ,
providing photos of examples of similar fencing on nearby properties . Further, the
applicant indicates that if they complied with Town Code, their limited private outdoor
space would be further reduced.
C. Environmental Review
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303: New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Written notice was sent to property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the subject
property. At time of preparation of this report, no public comment has been received.
CONCLUSION:
A. Summary
The property owner is requesting that the Planning Commission reconsider the Community
Development Director’s decision to deny the exceptions to the fence regulations to
construct a vehicular gate and fencing exceeding the three-foot height limitation when
located in a required street-side setback, traffic view area, and driveway view area; and a
vehicular gate that does not meet the 18-foot setback requirement as measured from the
edge of the street.
B. Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions to deny the
appeal, uphold the decision of the Community Development Director, and deny the
exceptions to the Town’s fence regulations:

RE: 103 Tait Ave., Los Gatos - Letter of Justification for fence variance – code 29.40.0320
To whom it may concern,
Kristi and I just completed building our new home at 103 Tait Ave in the Almond Grove District. The
property is at the corner of the intersection of Tait and Bean.
We are now preparing to start the landscape.
The variance being requested is to construct a 6’ fence and 6’ driveway gate parallel to the Bean
sidewalk. The fence/gate would run from a point near the rear corner of the home to the neighbor’s
property line.
The need for the variance is for both security and privacy in our backyard, especially since the property
is located adjacent to Saint Mary’s Church and just two blocks off Santa Cruz Avenue. Due to the small
lot size and the placement of the home on the lot, we only have an exposed side yard (Bean) and a very
small back yard. Please see attached photos.
In just the two months since moving into our home, we have had several incidents of people walking
onto our property.
Your consideration of our request is appreciated.
Regards,
Michael and Kristi Ballou

• Provide any specific security issues that have occurred.
Since we do not have privacy fencing currently at our home, I have been surprised once
or twice since we moved in to the home May 2020 by 2 different individuals walking into
our back yard/driveway toward our back porch to look at our home. They were well
onto our property / to the back porch . It was startling to say the least when I walked out
my back door and saw someone standing there like it was public property or a parking
lot. Also, right after we moved in ( May 26th to be exact) was an attack by an armed
gunman traveling in a car on Bean Avenue. A masked man got out of his car at
12:10pm and hit my neighbor in the face with a gun while trying to steal her purse.
• Describe how alternative fence placement/heights that adhere to the fence
regulations create an undue hardship:
We have a small lot and would like to maximize the privacy space in our back yard. If we
follow the guidelines the town is asking, we are reducing our private usable space
considerably.
• Provide examples of other properties in the neighborhood on corner lots in a similar
situation that have fencing similar to what you are requesting. Photos are helpful.
See attached photos.
• Address staffs’ concerns related to the pedestrian safety issue created by the
proximity of the fencing and vehicular gate to the sidewalk and street.
I think whether it’s 18’ or 12’ or 6’, 3’ pedestrian safety is always a concern. Our current
plan is a gate which opens slowly so to allow for a car to approach the sidewalk and then
proceed with caution to the street after looking both ways as we always do when
backing out of our driveway.
• A special circumstance exists, including lot size or configuration, where strict
enforcement of these regulations would result in undue hardship.
Location and height of fence provide security to our property along the bean avenue
side. Due to our small lot being on the corner we have a unique circumstance.
