DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Application: TR-2004-04
Applicant: Li Mei Yee
Location: 8062 Park Villa Circle
Agenda Date: September 13, 2004
Application Summary:
Tree removal request to remove a 16" diameter Fern Pine in the common area of the
Westmont Park Villas, a planned residential development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the tree removal application
in accordance with the model resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Li Mei Yee, requests permission to remove a specimen size Fern Pine tree
in the common area of this planned residential development.
DISCUSSION:
The city's consulting arborist, Barrie D. Coate, submitted a report dated August 5,2004
(attached). The arborist recommends removal and replacement of the tree.
The pine tree is planted in a bed that is only 3 feet in width and is less than 1-foot from a
residence. The tree is healthy and in no danger of falling, but it has a poor structure
because the tree was "topped" some years back, leading to vigorous vertical shoot
growth with weak attachments to the trunk. The tree is unsuitable for this location.
Replacement
In 2003, the Planning Commission approved the removal of two trees in the common
area of this development and required Sycamore Yarwoods (London Plane Trees)
planted in suitable locations as replacements. Staff recommends that the Commission
require two 24" box Sycamore Yarwoods as replacements, with the location to be
determined by the Homeowners Association and staff.

TREE INSPECTION AT THE YEE RESIDENCE, CUPERTINO
1
Assignment
I was asked by Ms. Piu Ghosh, Planner, City of Cupertino, to evaluate a tree located at
8062 Park Villa Circle, Cupertino.
Observations
The tree is located adjacent to the front door of the residence at 8062 Park Villa Circle,
Cupertino. This tree is a Fern pine (Podocarpus gracilior). This tree has a trunk
diameter of approximately 16 inches at 2 feet above grade. The planter bed in which this
tree lives is only about 3 feet wide. Its health is excellent, but its structure is poor,
primarily because this specimen has been "topped" at about 12 -15 feet above grade a
few years ago. Topping essentially destroys the structural integrity of the tree. Water
sprouts (vigorous vertical shoots) produced after topping have very weak attachments and
are highly prone to splitting apart at the point of attachment. In this case, there is an old
open wound below almost every one of the old "topping" cuts, which indicates that the
bark had tom down the limbs at the time that the trees were topped. Even an average
arborist would not perform work this bad. I suspect that this pruning had been done by
the landscape maintenance company.
Another problem that this fern pine tree poses is the lifting of the nearby concrete. Two
sections of the concrete near this tree have been shaved to address the uneven surfaces
created by the roots lifting the edge of the concrete. This shaving is only a temporary
solution. This tree will no doubt continue to lift the sections of the nearby concrete with
increasing regularity as this tree matures, because the roots will continue to grow larger at
about the same rate as the trunk.
This fern pine tree appears to have been planted as an espalier against the side ofthe
building. Since African fern pine has the potential to reach 60 feet in height and 90 feet
spread, fem pine is the wrong plant for this location.
This infrastructure damage is fully expected to increase if this tree is retained.
There are other fem pine trees within this complex of connected homes. Two of the
locations, where this same problem exists, are the residences at 8074 and 8076. It is
likely that there a dozen or more locations within this housing complex, where the
identical conditions exist with maturing fern pine trees.
Conclusions
Although the structure of this fern pine tree is relatively poor, it does not appear that any
limbs pose an immediate risk of breaking. This tree itself is not considered hazardous.
Recommendation
I recommend that this fem pine tree be removed and replaced with a plant appropriate for
this location. I recommend the following alternative replacement plants:
Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo)
Hollywood Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Kaisuka ')

Irish yew (Taxus baccata 'Stricta:;
Carolina Cherry (Prunus caroliniana)
Value Assessment
We typically recommend that the size of the replacement plant roughly equate the value
of the existing plant. Based on the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), Guide
for Plant Appraisal, Ninth edition, Trunk Fonnula Method, this existing fern pine tree has
a value of $1,560.00. This value is approximately equivalent to a 36 inch boxed
specimen. In this case, it does not appear feasible to plant a 36 inch boxed specimen at
this location. It is feasible to plant a 24 inch boxed specimen.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to
examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to
reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations
of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.
Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often
hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or
safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments,
like medicine. cannot be guaranteed.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some
degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Application: TR-2004-05 Agenda Date: September 13, 2004
Applicant: Nathan Lewis (Westridge HOA)
Location: 10166 English Oak Way
Application Summary:
Tree removal permit to remove more than 25% of the canopy of a 53 inch diameter
oak tree in a planned residential development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the tree removal
application, file no. TR-2004-05, in accordance with the model resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The subject tree was assessed by Barrie Coate and Associates on February 5, 2004 at
the request of the Westridge Homeowners Association (report attached). Mr.
Coate's findings were that the tree is a danger to nearby property due to the
presence of a disease that could lead to major limb failure.
The disease affecting this specimen oak attacks the core of tree branches, thus
weakening the structural stability of large limbs. The disease does not affect the
health of the tree canopy. The arborist's recommendation is to remove the tree.
Chapter 14.18 of the Cupertino Municipal Code refers to large specimen trees as "an
asset to the community" and that the "retention of these species shall be promoted."
In keeping with the intent of the code, staff has explored alternatives to preserve the
tree with Mr. Coate and the Homeowners Association.
DISCUSSION:
There are three major limbs that extend over the rooftops of nearby residences.
Given the tree's disease, these limbs must be removed to protect persons and
property from damage. This will result in the removal of over 25% of the canopy of
the tree, which requires this permit. The removal of these limbs reduces the danger
to persons and property from the rest of the tree to less than significant levels.
The removal of these three limbs combined with the installation of steel posts and
cabling for remaining limbs will extend the life of the tree by substantially
decreasing the weight that the remaining limbs must carry. In comparative terms,
this action will give the tree crutches to help support it stand. The Association and
Mr. Coate are agreeable to this strategy.
3-
Application: TR-2004--05
September 13, 2004
Eventual Results
The damage done to this specimen tree by this disease is not treatable and is
irreversible. Eventually, these tree limbs will fail. However, instead of failing in the
next five years if no action is taken, it is possible that the tree limbs will remain
intact over a number of decades.
Staff appreciates the Association's willingness to take action to preserve this tree. To
give the Association flexibility in the future regarding the health of this tree, staff
has worded the model resolution to allow the homeowners association to remove
additional limbs or the entire tree in the future, subject to staff approval, if certain
events occur:
1. During the limb cutting proposed at this time, it is discovered that the limbs
to remain have already lost so much of their structural support that it is
impossible to attach steel post supports and cabling to support it.
2. In the years after the installation of the steel bracing and cabling, one or more
limbs start to show signs of structural failure.
This will allow the Association to quickly react to changing circumstances without
the need for a new tree removal permit.

AN ASSESSMENT OF AN OLD VALLEY OAK TREE AT WESTRIDGE COUNTRY CLUB HOMES CUPERTINO
Assignment
Mr. Tydeman, asked me to meet him at 10166 English Oak Way in Cupertino to inspect
an old valley oak tree which resides between that home and the nearest one to the north at
10176 English Oak Way.
I met him on February 5, 2004, to perform that inspection and evaluation.
Summary
The tree in question is a very old valley oak that certainly preexisted the construction of
the homes on this property.
There were very large cuts made in numerous locations throughout the tree removing 18
to 24 inch diameter limbs back to flush cuts and as a result decay organisms have entered
these large cuts and have traveled through the two largest structural parts of the tree.
Since the conks (sporophores) from this disease have occurred in portions of the wood
opposite or 3-4 feet from the openings. The implication is that the decay has traveled
throughout the interior of these limbs and probably to a length far exceeding the sites of
the conks and in my opinion, causing these portions of the tree to be highly prone to
breaking out ofthe tree.
If the two parts that are so badly infected were removed there would be virtually no tree
left and if the ends of those limbs were removed sufficiently to prevent them from
breaking off the remaining tree would be of no aesthetic value and the process would not
in any case have removed the decay but merely postponed the time at which the tree
would have to be removed.
In my opinion, there is no question that this tree must be removed now and that it would
be illogical and unnecessarily expensive to remove large parts of the tree to prevent limb
drop and then return in a matter of just a few years to remove the entire tree.
There is no chance that this tree can be made safe while it still has any reasonable
semblance of a normal canopy and for this reason there is no solution to the hazard that
this tree presents other than its removal.
Observations
The tree in question is a valley oak (Quercus lobata) of 52.6-inch trunk diameter at 3 feet
above grade (above which the trunk begins swelling into major limbs).
The tree is approximately 50 feet in height and has a branch spread 60 feet across east to
west and 75 feet in spread north to south.
The structure of the tree is composed primarily of two 3~-inch diameter main parts which
lean in a southerly direction at a 15-25 degree angle.

The largest diameter and heaviest of these which leans toward the homes on the south has
a very large conk or sporophore of the canker rot (lnonolus hlSpldus) disease, a white rot
which decomposes the cellular structure of the interior of the trunk and removes that
woods' ability to provide structural support.
The more vertical trunk has a wound at 20 feet above grade and 2 tèet below and 2 feet
above that wound are more sporophores of the same disease.
Note that the sporophore on the largest limb is emerging from the wood opposite the
wound implying that the entire diameter of that trunk has been hollowed out by the
disease.
Testing
Since in a case like this the question of degree of decay is pertinent to a decision of
whether the tree is potentially safe or not I used a 1I8-inch diameter, l2-inch long drill bit
to drill in six sites in the trunk and main limbs.
In each case, both in the trunk and main limbs I found sound healthy wood to 4-6 inches
of depth but found Inonotus decay (a condition which demonstrates dead vascular tissue
which is not yet hollow) at just inside those dimensions at 4-6 inches of depth.
At 10 inches of depth I found the south facing lowest limb to be hollow when I drilled at
8 feet above grade on the east side and at 7 feet above grade on the west side.
This is entirely unsurprising since the decay organism which produce the conks has
obviously caused this trunk to decay from the large wound downwards and upwards from
the wound site.
Surprisingly I found almost the equivalent condition in the main trunk in three locations,
that is I found sapwood decay at approximately the same depth in the drill samples but in
this case did not find a hollow condition II inches of depth in the trunk.
Conclusions
What this all means is that the south facing limb is actively dangerous and could break
off at any time and that the logical conclusion is that since the same symptoms of decay
are seen in the more vertical trunk that it is equally decayed and equally hazardous even
though I didn't climb the tree to do drill samples in that upper part.
Based on this infonnation, I could predict that 1) the tree will probably not break off at
the ground or 3 feet above ground in the next few years but 2) the south facing lowest
limb will probably break off in the foreseeable future if not removed or vastly reduced in
length and 3) the more upward facing limb has an equal probability of breaking off at 20
feet above grade and falling on to the street light and into the street.
Wherever these parts fall they will cause significant property damage.

When all of these factors are taken into evidence it seems obvious to me that there is no
option but to remove this tree.

Canker-rot caused by [nonotus glomeratus. I. glomeratus (syn.
Polyporus glomeratus) occurs from coast to coast in Canada and the
northern United States and extends southward to Florida in the East. It
is most abundant in the Great Lakes region and eastward, where it
causes white to light brown spongy heart rot of beech and red and
sugar maples. In the West it occurs on paper birch, black cottonwood,
and Oregon oak. Laurel oak is a host in the South. This fungus is also
reported to occur on box elder, poplar (unspecified), viburnum, and,
rarely, hemlock. I. g/omeratus is the most important trunk and butt
decay pathogen of sugar maple in Ontario, accounting for 36% of the
infections and 40% of decay volume in one study there. Most infec·
tions begin at dead branches and stubs, although other wounds are
also suitable. In beech, the initial site of infection is often a branch stub
on the upper trunk. After decay is advanced, this fungus forms sterile
punky masses (sterile conks) that replace branch traces, extending
from a central column of white rot to the trunk surface or, in beech, as
much as 7 -8 cm beyond the trunk. The surface of the sterile conk turns
black, crusty, and cracked. Sterile conks are diagnostic. They are
prominent on beech but are usually inconspicuous in irregular can-
kers with raised margins on maple trunks. Cankers are usually lo-
cal ized but occasionally become elongate on maples, perhaps reflect·
ing the shape of the wound where infection began. Cankers on beech
tend to be inconspicuous around sterile conks but sometimes also
develop raised callus rolls at the margins. I. g/omeratus causes cankers
in the manner described and illustrated for canker-rot of birch (Plate
170).
I. glomeratus was formerly confused with·l. andersonii because both
may form yellow-brown sheetlike basidiocarps on dead trees or tree
parts. Records of I. glomeratus on willow are thus suspect. Basidio-
carps of I. glomeratus but not I. andersonii often grow shelflike, at least
in part, and form on bark rather than beneath it. They appear 3-4 years
or more after tree death, usually on fallen trunks. The two fungi are also
distinct in cultural characteristics and temperature optima for growth,
I. andersonii growing most rapidly near 35°C, while I. g/omeratus
grows best near 25°C.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to
examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to
reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations
of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.
Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often
hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or
safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments,
like medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some
degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Application: M-2004-04
Applicant: Etsuko Kuromiya (Wayne Gong)
Location: 19990 Homestead Road
Agenda Date: September 13, 2004
Application Summary:
Modification of a Use Permit (U-2004-02) to extend the hours of operation from 11 PM
to 2 AM and to change a condition requiring the use of Studio 4 as a storage room.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of:
1. The Use Permit Modification, file number M-2004-04, in accordance with the model
resolution;

BACKGROUND:
The applicant received approval from the Planning Commission for a karaoke studio,
Gamba Karaoke, at the Oakmont Square shopping center located near the southeast
corner of Homestead Road and Blaney Avenue on April 12, 2004.
Peacock Lounge
Adjacent to the karaoke studio is the Peacock Lounge, a bar with food services. The
Peacock Lounge has been located in the Oakmont Square center since 1966 and is open
until 2 AM. In the 1960s, the City did not regulate hours of operation, so the Peacock
Lounge is a legal non-conforming use.
DISCUSSION:
Late Night Activities
The applicant requests an extension to their operating hours from an 11 PM closure to a
2 AM closure. Commercial activities after 11 PM are not permitted without a
Conditional Use Permit, since late night activities have a higher probability of causing
5-1
Application: M-2004-04
September 13, 2004
impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. The Use Permit review is necessary to ensure that
the proposed use will not negatively impact nearby residents or properties.
The karaoke studio has been in operation for a number of months, and the City has not
received' any neighbor complaints about the studio or their patrons. Staff received a
letter from a resident in the condominium complex at the southwest corner of
Homestead Road and Blaney Avenue. The letter raises concerns that the mix of bar
patrons and karaoke patrons may "pose a potential noise" problem.
Without evidence of noisy karaoke patrons loitering in the parking lot after they leave
the studio or concerns from the Sheriff, staff has no reason to believe that late night
operation of the karaoke studio will negatively affect neighbors. John Hirokawa of the
Santa Clara County Sheriff has no concerns with the extended hours since alcohol is not
served or allowed in the studio.
The applicant provided client data for the karaoke studio from June 8, 2004 until July
30,2004 (attached as Exhibit A). Staff generated a chart from the applicant's data that
shows that the majority of activity occurs between the hours of 8 PM and 11 PM
between Friday and Sunday night.
If the Commission believes that allowing the studio to operate until 2 AM every night
will cause negative impacts on neighbors, then staff recommends that the Commission
consider allowing the late night operation on Fridays, Saturday and Sunday nights
only. This will reduce the potential impact on neighbors while allowing the applicant
the late night hours when they appear to be needed the most. Another option is to
allow the studio to be open until midnight or 1 AM instead of 2 AM.
A condition in the model resolution allows the Planning Commission to revisit the
hours of operation at their discretion. This will allow the Commission to address
neighbor complaints concerning the studio if they arise in the future.
Parking
The original Use Permit was approved based on a parking ratio of 1 stall for every 4
occupants of the karaoke tenant space. As part of the Use Permit, the applicant agreed
to convert Room 4 to a storage room, thus reducing the total occupancy and parking
demand for the proposed use. The Use Permit called for staff and the applicant to
revisit the parking ratio applied to this use after six months, which will be in mid-
October of 2004.
Since the karaoke studio has not had a time when all the studio rooms were used, it is
not possible to determine if the conversion of Room 4 will cause a parking problem.
Staff expects that Room 4 could generate the need of two to three parking stalls at most,
S-ó0

Application: M-2004-04
September 13, 2004
which should not be significant in the late night hours when many of the other uses are
closed.
If the Commission is uncomfortable with this change, the Commission should approve
a condition that requires that a future conversion be allowed with a Director's Minor
Modification, if evidence is provided to show that the conversion will not impact
parking.

Attn: Peter Gilli, AICP, Seuior Planner, City Of Cupertino, 408-777-3313. peterg@cupertino.org
RE: the Notice Of Public Hearing, A.P.N. 316-37-008 received by me on 7/31, I wish to thank you for your time at
the close of the Cupertino Planning Commission meeting in City Hall on the evening of Man, 8/9 at 6:45pm.
Thank you for explaining that the public hearing of Man, 8/9 was continued to Man, 9113 at 6:45pm at City Hall.
I will be there. I wish to register my concern re: proposed modification of use pennit (U-2004-2) that would extend
hours of operation for a karaoke studio at 19990 Homestead Road to 2:am.
I call your attention to my enclosed letter of 4/8 c/o Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Development. re: my
concern about the karaoke studio at Blaney and Homestead next to the Peacock Lounge sports bar.
As a 25-year resident homeowner and Cupertino taxpayer with a townhome in the Northpoint planned unit
development directly across the street from the karaoke studio, I am concerned that patrons of the proposed
karaoke studio might choose to park in Northcrest Square and Northwind Square.
I again raise this concern in light of current parking problems involving patrons of the Peacock Lounge who park
in Northwind and Nortbcrest Squares late at night.
On another front, the mix of sports-bar patrons from the Peacock Lounge and music lovers from a karaoke studio
next door pose a potential noise and law enforcement problem.
From our brief meeting on 8/9 I uuderstand that no one has applied for a liquor license at the karaoke studio in
question. And, thank you for confirming that the lease for the Peacock Lounge adjacent to the karaoke studio is
not being renewed by Mr. Wayne Gong, owner of the mall where both, the Peacock Lounge and karaoke studio ,arc
located. Thank you for clarifYing that no alcoholic beverages of any kind may be sold or provided at the karaoke
studio. Thank you for explaining on 8/9 that proposed modification to divide a closed room at the karaoke studio
is now being considered in an update of the original use pennit (U-2004-02) for the karaoke studio. I am noting
that your response to my question re: potential overflow parking from the karaoke studio into Northcrest and
Northwind Squares might be alleviated by customers who would car-pool. Finally, per our meeting of 8/9, I
understand that the Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office has not weighed in re: the proposed 2 :am ex1ension of
operating hours at the karaoke studio. '
If, for any reason, application M-2004-04 APN: 316-03-039 re: the karaoke studio will not be heard by the
planning commission on Man, 9/13, at 6:45pm in city hall, please notifY me by phone and/or letter with the new
date and time for a hearing on this issue.
Sincerely yours,
