Residents of Lee Drive in Menlo Park are opposing a request for variances that would allow construction of a 2,600 square foot home on a substandard 4,792 square foot lot at 947 Lee Drive. They argue the large home would be dramatically out of scale with the surrounding smaller homes situated on similarly small lots. At over 50% lot coverage, the proposed home would have 2-4 times higher density than the other 7 properties on the cul-de-sac. The residents are asking the applicant to reduce the home size to be more consistent with the existing neighborhood character of small homes surrounded by trees.
The document is a request from residents of Lee Drive in Menlo Park to deny variances for a proposed construction project at 947 Lee Drive. It summarizes that the proposed 2,600 square foot home would be dramatically larger than surrounding homes and have a building density 2-4 times higher. It argues the large home would not preserve the unique, park-like setting of small homes on small lots surrounded by heritage trees.
This case study describes the rehabilitation of a 1940 home in Petaluma, CA into a net zero energy live/work building. The owners purchased the home in 1997 and conducted extensive energy efficiency upgrades, reducing energy use by 75%. A second remodel phase in 2005 added photovoltaic panels, solar air heating, and a wind turbine to provide all electricity and ventilation. The home now produces more energy annually than it uses, meeting the Thousand Home Challenge goal of reducing energy use in existing homes.
This 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home located in Thousand Oaks, TX is offered at $420,000. It features a chef's kitchen, master and guest suites downstairs, covered porches, and private lake access on 1.747 acres. The home is in an exclusive gated community within a short drive of The Woodlands and new ExxonMobil Campus, yet seems to be priced below market value for the amenities offered.
CA: Bay-Friendly Landscapes Case Studies - Union City Firestation #3Sotirakou964
Union City's new Fire Station #3 received gold LEED certification. The $6.5 million facility was built on a remediated brownfield site using sustainable materials like a metal roof with solar panels. It includes energy efficient and environmentally friendly features like a vehicle exhaust system, daylighting, and low-flow fixtures to reduce water and energy usage while improving indoor air quality.
This document summarizes a community meeting about renovating Lafayette Playground. It discusses the project budget of $1.5 million and proposed renovations like new playground equipment. Two concept plans are presented: a Native Meadow concept that renovates spaces in place, and a Rock Creek concept that consolidates play areas. Both concepts focus on nature themes, safety, accessibility, and multigenerational use. Playground equipment options from two manufacturers that meet safety standards are also discussed. The meeting provided information to the community and sought input on improving the park.
This renovation updated a home built in the early 1980s with a more transitional look by connecting a detached garage to the home, adding a screened porch, and making minor interior updates like adding windows. Exterior changes included a new covered entrance by the garage, landscaping overhaul of the front entry, replacing the steep garage roof with gables, and adding a porch and deck area above grade to take advantage of the climate.
The variance application requests reducing the rear setback from 100 feet to 44 feet 8 inches for an existing barn built in 2007. Special circumstances exist as the contractor did not comply with obtaining required permits. Granting the variance would not confer special privilege and is the minimum needed for reasonable use of the barn. The barn is consistent with the rural equestrian character of the area and comprehensive plan. It has not been detrimental to neighbors or public welfare.

2) A classic single-level post and beam home in Pleasant Way, Pasadena originally designed in 1959 underwent renovations to transform bedrooms into a master suite and guest suite while preserving the original floor plan.
3) A new lap pool, spa, and pool house were added to a property in Glen Oaks, Pasadena along a narrow crest overlooking the Arroyo Seco. The integrated structure was designed to take advantage of views and breezes with fold-away glass walls and solar panels to heat the pool.
