RESOLUTION 39
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO APPROVING AN
EXCEPTION TO SECTION 19.28.060 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW A SECOND
STORY THAT EXCEEDS 35% OF THE FIRST STORY AREA AND A SECOND STORY DECK
EXCEPTION.
SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: 01-R-01
Applicant: Ravindra Savanur (Louie Leu)
Location: 10389 Krista Court
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given in accordance with the Procedural
Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Design Review Committee has held one or more public
hearings on this matter; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said application; and has
satisfied the following requirements:
1. The literal enforcement of this chapter will result in restrictions inconsistent with the spirit and
intent of this chapter, as the site has topography that is not typically found in similarly zoned
properties.
2. The granting of the exception will not result in a condition that is materially detrimental to the
public health, safety and welfare.
3. The exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification of the prescribed design
regulation and the minimum variance that will accomplish the purpose, as the project requires an
exception for only one prescriptive regulation.
4. The proposed exception will not result in significant visual impacts as viewed from abutting
properties since existing trees on site will screen much of the addition from neighboring properties.
5. The deck design is such that it decreases privacy intrusion to adjoining properties to the greatest
extent, as the deck is being placed where it has no direct views into neighboring yards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this
matter, the exception to Section 19.28.060 and the second story deck exception is hereby approved
subject to the conditions which are enumerated in this Resolution beginning on page 2 thereof, and
Resolution No. 39 01-R-01 March 14, 2001
Page 2
That the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified in this resolution are based
and contained in the public hearing record concerning Application 01-R-01 set forth in the Minutes of
the Design Review Committee meeting of, March 14, 2001, and are incorporated by reference as
though fully set forth herein.
