RESOLUTION NO. 205
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
APPROVING A PARKING EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A TANDEM
PARKING 'GARAGE FOR 18685 HANNA DRIVE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CMC SECTION 19.100.060(B)
SECTION I: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: EXC-2005-05
Applicant: Umesh Hiriyannaiah
Location: .18685 Hanna Drive
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Parking Exception, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds that the changes are beneficial and
compatible with the surrounding area;
1. That the literal enforcement of the provisions of this title will result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title, in that a standard two car -wide
garage would be too close to the house or result in an unnecessarily long
driveway;
2. That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition that is materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. The tandem garage will
comply with R1 single-family building setbacks, safety sight triangle for
uncontrolled intersections and the driveway curb will be located at a safe
distance away from the intersection; and
3. That the exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification of
the prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the
purpose. There is adequate space for a tandem garage which will be only one
foot wider than the minimum size; and
4. The propose exception will not result in significant impacts to neighboring
properties. As conditions of approval a two -car wide driveway in front of the
Resolution No. 205 EXC-2005-05 March 17, 2005

garage will be required, and windows or architectural features will be required
to visually break up the length of the tandem garage wall
