pedestrian services overall. Asked for wider paths to match the increasing
demand.
Janet Van Zoren, a Cupertino resident, commented on when road construction
occurs, where they have an area set aside for bicyclists to avoid the construction,
there should be consideration for pedestrians as well. Need to share the road with

OLD BUSINESS
4. McClellan Ranch Parking Lot Improvement
Alex Acenas, a Project Manager of Cupertino, gave an update to the Commission
on the design of the parking lot. Incorporated feedback taken from the recent
stakeholder meetings held in September and on November 16th and 17th into the
revised plans. New design accommodates 25 spots, 2 ADA spots and has a
restoration planting area between the lot and the creek. Will have an occasional
use area where the Simms House was located.
Discussion followed. Additional overflow parking would be used about 5 to 6
times a year and would be covered with gravel. Will be blocked off during daily
use. Could possibly pave the main parking lot first and then place gravel on the
overflow parking area later.
Janet Van Zoren, a Cupertino Resident, supported the new design and the amount
of nature restoration in the current plan.
Shani Kleinhaus, with Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, supports the updated
plan and the restoration component.
Paul Turner, a Cupertino resident, supports the work that has been done for the
Simms Property. Recognizes the growing need for parking spaces, but suggested
that the City consider other methods to alleviate the problem. Supports the design
overall and emphasized a gradual, step by step construction process.
The Commission supported the revised plans, but suggested building the main lot
first, while studying the need for the overflow parking area. If the need is
established, then build the gravel area later.
Commissioner Wilson motioned to proceed with the revised design, but to take a
slower, study first then possibly build, approach for overflow parking area.
Commissioner Biyani seconded. Motion carried 4 yes with 1 absent.
5. Citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan Update – Update and Draft
Project Scoping Matrix
Jeff Milkes, Director of Recreation and Community Services, introduced Cindy
Mendoza, a Consultant from MIG, to provide an update on the Master Plan. Cindy
asked for guidance on what the Commission feels is important for recreation
facilities, consider what facilities can be combined, where they should be located
and what partnerships can be considered to reach the master plan goals. Discussed
aquatic facilities, performing and fine arts centers, incubator hubs (can combine
with other facilities), gymnasiums, teen centers and senior centers. Shared
feedback received from stakeholders, which emphasized that partnerships are
vital, with schools, other cities and the county. Also to provide facilities that are
flexible and can adapt to the change in demographics. Pools and water play are
important and parking considerations as well.
Discussion followed. Commissioner Wilson suggested looking at the surrounding
cities to model after their performing arts theatres and partnering with the local
schools to program at their theatres during the summertime.
Geoff Paulsen, a Cupertino citizen, suggested that for the aquatic center, to move
all of the pools to Memorial park and to use back in diagonal parking. Also
stressed public private partnerships, such as working with KT URBAN in regards
to the Oaks Shopping Center or Sand Hill Properties for the Vallco Mall space. For
the incubator space, to work with the Cupertino Economic Development
Committee and consider Bubb Road.
The Commission supported partnering with local developers to building some of
the facilities, specifically naming Sand Hill Properties to utilize the Vallco
property. Also to work with the local schools to utilize their spaces and look into
repurposing currently owned City buildings. Possibly to expand them upwards
instead of trying to find more land, citing the Quinlan Center, Creekside Building,
and Monta Vista Recreation Center.
Cindy then covered new and expanded outdoor facilities opportunities and
focused on large event space, inclusive play area, nature-based play area,
community gardens, cricket field and dog park/dog areas. Also considered
basketball courts, pickle ball courts and outdoor table tennis. Asked for feedback
on what types of outdoor facilities are most needed, what can be combined, where
to locate them and what partners should be considered.
Discussion followed. Cindy suggested distributing projects to places that have
multi use opportunities, compared to single use. Commissioner Stanek brought
up the idea of dispersing dog parks by setting limited off leash hours at all parks
in Cupertino. Supported opening more gardens at other parks and locations.
Commissioner Wilson mentioned the YMCA location might become an option to
place some of these facilities. Supported centralizing 4 or 5 main facilities,
including the inclusive play area, and dispersing everything else such as the dog
parks and gardens. Commissioner Biyani suggested adding a nature based play
element to Blackberry Farm and to build the inclusive play area at Portal Park.
Chair Davis suggested adding nature play at Linda Vista Park, Blackberry Farm
and Lawrence Mitty and to update the amphitheater at Memorial Park. Agreed
with expanding the community gardens closer to the seniors or to the east side of
the City and to create off leash dog hours for all parks. Supported building a
national sized cricket field and have more bike parking and water stations at the
parks.
MIG will come back to the Commission in March 1st. Commissioner Stanek
suggested to keep City Council appraised of any schedule changes.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: January 4, 2018
Subject
Property Acquisition at 10301 Byrne Avenue.
Recommended Action
Receive an update on the acquisition of property at 10301 Byrne Avenue (APN 357-11-020).
Background
In 1991, the City purchased the Blackberry Farm property. The purchase included Blackberry
Farm ‘Park’, containing the picnic grounds and swimming pool, as well as Blackberry Farm
Golf Course. Public access to Blackberry Farm Park was via San Fernando Avenue and a
driveway that descends into the site. The property was operated during a summer-based
season and closed the rest of the year. Visitors had to pay a fee to access the site. This practice
continued after the 1991 acquisition.
In 2006, the City completed a master plan and associated environmental clearance process for
the Stevens Creek Corridor which included the Blackberry Farm property. Various
improvements have been implemented since then. Blackberry Farm Park is now open daily
year-round. The public now visits the site for free (a fee is charged for use of the pools and
group picnic grounds, which are operated during a limited season).
In 2011, a new access path into Blackberry Farm was constructed at Scenic Circle. This route
provides a pedestrian and bicycle access from west of the creek. It also provides a route for
school children that live west of the creek to walk through Blackberry Farm to access the tri-
school area formed by Monta Vista High School, Lincoln Elementary, and Kennedy Middle
schools.
Access into Blackberry Farm Park is constrained. Vehicles all drive in and out via a narrow
two-lane driveway. The driveway is flanked by a stone retaining wall plus a row of large trees
screening a residence on the uphill side, and a steep slope to the golf course on the downhill
side. There is no route for pedestrians. Pedestrians walk on the driveway in the vehicular
travel lanes as there is no existing alternative. Use by neighbors and students has increased and
there is daily foot traffic to the site year round.
The 2006 plan proposed a four-foot wide boardwalk from the top of the driveway to the retreat
center, with a switchback, and a new crosswalk traversing both the driveway and San Fernando
Avenue. This solution avoided impacts to private property.
In 2016, a draft master plan for the Stevens Creek Corridor proposed providing a walkway into
Blackberry Farm Park by widening San Fernando and the driveway to the north/west, using a
retaining wall-type structure where needed along the golf course edge. This solution has the
advantage of eliminating both the crosswalk and the longer route of the switchback. Due to
uncertainty in topography and available of right-of-way, the draft plan also left in the option to
construct a boardwalk.
Discussion
The residential property at the 10301 Byrne Avenue was recently offered for sale. City Council
provided direction in closed sessions to negotiate the purchase of the property. On December
19, 2017 the City Council adopted a resolution approving purchase of the property at 10301
Byrne Avenue, Assessors’ Parcel Number 357-11-020, in the amount of $2,450,000 and
associated budget appropriations.
This parcel is a ‘gateway’ property to Blackberry Farm at the corner of San Fernando.
Acquisition of this parcel provides greater opportunities to improve access to Blackberry Farm
Park.
Fiscal Impact
The purchase was approved by City Council on December 19, 2017 and has been completed
using unassigned fund balance available in the General Fund to fund the purchase of the
property.
