Three-lot subdivision appeal at 13785 Saratoga Avenue
Summary
Neighbors appealed approval of a three-lot subdivision that requires a 75,000-pound bridge over Saratoga Creek, removal of nine protected trees, and fire access across a private street. The council denied the appeal, saying state law and city process allow the tentative map now, with bridge design and environmental permits reviewed later.
