[The revised square footage of the lots is 10,197 and 11,807 due to the reconfiguration.] VARIANCE to allow two lots that are 58 feet wide on a proposed subdivision instead of the required 60-foot width. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve 1. The tentative map, file number TM-2005-14 in accordance with the model resolution. 2. The variance, file number V -2006-01 in accordance with the model resolution. Project Data: General Plan Designation: Zoning Designation: Total Acreage (gross): Net Acreage per parcel: Density: Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU / gr. acre Rl-7.5 21,803 square feet Lot 1-10,197 sq. ft., Lot 2-11,807 sq. ft. 4 du/gr. acre. Project Consistency with: General Plan: Zoning: Yes, Policy 2-23 Yes Categorically exempt. Environmental Assessment: BACKGROUND: This application is continued from the Planning Commission meeting of January 24, 2006. Planning Commissioners were interested in evaluating a conventional, two-lot subdivision, rather than a flat lot. Two conventional lots result in a lot-width narrower than the required 60 feet, so the Commissioners continued the item to this meeting for public notification of the variance. J-I TM-2005-14 Page 2 February 28, 2006 DISCUSSION: The major issues related to this application are discussed in the enclosed January 10 and 24, 2006 staff reports. This report discusses new issues identified with the conventional lot configuration. Lot Pattern and Width There are numerous flag lots in the area, which supported the original flag lot configuration (see Exhibit 1). However, conventional lots with residences facing the street will better integrate the future house facades into the neighborhood. Each lot is approximately 58 feet wide, vs. the required 60 feet. Lot widths on McClellan Road are generally wider than 60 feet. However, the proposed lots are very close to the required lot-width, and the narrower lot width is a trade-off for being able to create lots where residences face the street. BuiIdin~ Sites and Tree Protection Footprints for the proposed residences are shown in the plan set. Although future residences do not need to conform to these footprints, they indicate that viable residences can be built and trees can be protected. A detached garage in the rear on Lot 1 might be the best way to protect the oak tree, for example. A garage in the front on Lot 2 might not be the best design, because it does not accomplish the desired outcome of having residences face the street. These concerns will be addressed at the building permit stage. Variance Findings Staff believes that the variance findings for the lot width can be made: 1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the property involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district. In order for this property to subdivide with conventional lots, a variance is needed for a narrower lot width. The property could be subdivided with a flag lot that does not require a variance, and the exceptional circumstance is that conventional lots are desired so that residences can face the street and better integrate the homes into the neighborhood. 2. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship. The proposed lots conform to the General Plan, zoning and to lot sizes in the surrounding area, thereby allowing the property owner to achieve property rights similar to others in the area.

The granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare, or convenience, and to secure the purpose of the title. The subdivision will not be detrimental to the vicinity.

Project Consistency with: General Plan: Zoning: BACKGROUND: This application is continued from the Planning Commission meeting of January 10, 2006. The applicant was not present at that meeting, and the Planning Commissioners expressed interest in two conventional lots instead of the proposed flag lot. The Commissioners continued the item so that the applicant could address the lot configuration. Since two conventional lots would have lot widths that are less than 60 feet, as required by the Rl ordinance, the applicant would need to apply for a variance to allow two 58 foot-wide lots. The application would need to be re-noticed for the variance. The Planning Commission would need to make the variance findings, which are: 1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the property involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district. ;2-11 TM-2005-14 Page 2 January 24, 2006 2. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship. 3. The granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare, or convenience, and to secure the purpose of the title. DISCUSSION: There are two major discussion points for this subdivision: conformance with the General Plan, since the applicant is proposing a flag lot, and tree removal and retention. Following is a detailed discussion of each subject. Zoning and General Plan Conformance: Lot one (the flag lot) equals 11,385, but has a net lot area of 9,766 since the panhandle portion of the lot (driveway) is not counted in the net area calculation and lot two equals 10,418 net square feet. Since both proposed lots have net areas greater than the 7,500 square feet required for the Rl-7.5 zoning district, the subdivision is consistent with the zoning. The residential density at 4 d.u'¡ gross acre is also consistent with the general plan land use designation (Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU / gr. Acre). In the recently adopted General Plan, Policy 2-23 was added to address neighborhood compatibility. Specifically, the policy ensures "that zoning, subdivision and lot line adjustment requests consider the need to preserve neighborhood lot patterns." It also specifically addresses the subject of flag lots by allowing the creation of "flag lots in proposed subdivisions when they are the only reasonable alternative that integrates with the lot pattern in the neighborhood." Staff believes that in the case of this subdivision, since there is insufficient frontage to subdivide the parcel into two conventional lots, the creation of a flag lot is a reasonable alternative that integrates with the surrounding lot pattern. The adjacent lots to the north and south are flag lots and there appears to be a clear pattern in this area of flag lots. The clear pattern is demonstrated in the aerial below (subject parcel is highlighted in yellow): E: IPlanningIPDREPORTlpcTMreports\2005tmreports\TM-2005-14.doc ;2-1;). TM-2005-14 Page 3 January 24, 2006 The Planning Commission may ask the applicant to file for a variance, in order to consider two conventional lots. The rationale for a variance would be: to conform to the intent of Policy 2-23 of the General Plan, cited previously; the fact that the lots would closely approximate the minimum foot width; and the fact that the lots would have frontages on two streets, allowing for the separation of the driveways. Staff is interested in having the option of addressing the irregularity of the right-of-way in front of the property, which shows as an indentation on the north side of the front property line (see arrow above). A condition of approval has been added to determine if the right-of-way should be abandoned to create a smoother property-line transition, as determined by the Director of Public Works. Tree Removal and Retention: Nine trees are located on the subject property, three of which are significant and two that are protected under the Cupertino Municipal Code. The City's consulting arborist, Barrie D. Coate and Associates conducted a tree survey of the property in October 2005 (see summary below and enclosures). Mr. Coate recommends that the coast live oak tree, located near the existing garage at the rear of the property, and the large deodar cedar, shown on the site plan as a pine tree near Madrid Road, be protected. He has provided detailed instructions on how to protect the coast live oak and the deodar cedar. As a condition of approval, staff is requiring a tree protection bond and E: IPlanningIPDREPORl1pcTMreportsI2005tmreportsITM-2005-14.doc ,,(-13 TM-2005-14 Page 4 January 24, 2006 requiring that the applicant enter into an agreement with a licensed arborist to ensure compliance with Mr. Coate's recommendations. Additionally, Mr. Coate recommends staff consider retaining a silk tree along the northern property for screening purposes. Staff is recommending that the tree be retained as a condition of the tentative map approval and that the retention be reviewed again at the building permit stage. The Director of Community Development shall make the final decision on the retention of the tree since it is not a protected species and would be retained only for privacy screening. Finally, although the applicant shows they are planning to retain an elm tree, Mr. Coate recommends removal due to decay and a hollow trunk. Tree # and Type Condition Recommendation Notes (Refer to Arborist Report) #1 Coast Live Oak Fair Retain Extremely healthy oak specimen, but its structure makes it highly vulnerable to limb breakage. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to follow the recommendations of the consulting arborist to preserve the tree and ensure healthy retention. #2 Siberian Elm Poor Remove Tree has been stub cut in the past and major decay has resulted. Trunk is hollow due to an old wound. Consulting arborist recommends removal of the tree due to the current state of health. #3 California Date Palm Excellent May be retained, Not a significant species, tree can easily removed or be transplanted or removed at transplanted. applicant's discretion. #4 Deodar Cedar Excellent Retain Fine specimen of Deodar Cedar that has been overgrown with English Ivy. Ivy needs to be removed to preserve tree. Arborist also makes further recommendations for protecting and preserving. As a condition of approval the applicant will need to follow these recommendations. #5 Silk Tree Excellent May be retained or Not a significant species, mostly removed. ornamental tree.

However, serves as privacy screening between subject property and the adjacent property to the north. As a part of the tentative map application, staff is recommending the tree be retained. At the building permit stage, staff will evaluate whether it is feasible to retain the tree and the Director of Community Development will make the final decision.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TREE PROTb..IlON DURING DEMOlITION AND CONSTRUCTION ATTtlE L ROPERTY 21988 MCCLELLAN RDAD. CUPERTINO Assignment Mrs. Ghosh asked me to prepare an analysis of the trees at this property in order to protect them ITom upcoming demolition and proposed construction activity. Summary The site currently is occupied by a home and two small axillary structures which I presume will all be demolished. There are only three significant trees on the property, trees # 1, 2, and 4 which are a vigorous healthy coast live oak, a Siberian elm with a very poor structure, and a fine specimen of deodar cedar. The plan 1 reviewed for this project is titled sheet AI prepared by H.M.C. Associates, LLP, undated. This plan shows only one of the trees on the property to be preserved, tree #1, the large coast live oak. The deodar cedar tree #4 is a species protected by City Ordinance and is a fine specimen at the margin of the property. Observations There are nine trees on the property only three of which are significant and only two of those are protected by City Ordinance. The two protected trees are trees #1 and #4, a coast live oak and a large deodar cedar. . The third significant tree is a Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila) a species which is usually considered of poor quality since it is very brittle and subject to breakage. . The trees #5-9 are Silk trees (Albizziajulibrissin). Trees 5-7 are seen on the Madrid Road ITontage and tree #9 another Albizzia is seen on the north property line. Tree #8 is Eugenia (Syzygium paniculatum) tree on the property line at the southwest corner of the property. Recommendations 1. This coast live oak is extremely healthy but its structure makes it higWy vulnerable to major limb breakage. 1 suggest that: a. The horizontal l2-inch diameter limb which is directed east ITom the point at which it joins the main trunk at 7 feet above grade be removed entirely. PREPARED BY: BARRIE D. COATE. CONSULTING ARBORIST OCTOBER 24. 2005 .;1-:23 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TREE PROTE~, ,ÙN DURING DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION AT THE U .OPERTY 21968 MCCLELLAN ROAD. CUPERTINO 2 This will leave a well-balanced crown above it without leaving the high potential for limb breakage that this limb presents. b. Have all deadwood removed trom the tree. c. Have a cable installed between the two remaining main trunks to prevent the included bark site seen at 2 feet above grade resulting in half of the tree splitting apart. d. The tree is fairly heavily infested with Ehrhorn scale. I suggest that it be sprayed this winter with a combination emulsifiable oil and an insecticide to begin control of that insect/disease combination. e. I suggest endweight reduction by drop crotch pruning procedures by an lSA certified arborist from the western and northern portions of the canopy to prevent limb drop in the next few years. f. Where necessary the lowest hanging branches of 3 inch diameter or smaller could be removed but branches any larger than that should not be removed without consultation with a certified arborist. 2. Tree #2 is Siberian elm The tree has been stub cut in the past at multiple heights including 12 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet. The result is major decay sites at each of these stub-cutting locations. . Note that the trunk is hollow due to an old wound. 1 would suggest that removal ~fthis tree would not be significant. 3. Tree #3, a California fan palm, is not significant and since this species is easily transplanted the tree could either be demolished or transplanted at the desire of the owner, in my opinion. 4. Tree #4 is a fine deodar cedar which is unfortunately overgrown with English ivy. a. I suggest the ivy be removed and that the tree certainly be preserved. b. The canopy is composed of very long limbs and it would be wise to have a knowledgeable arborist do drop crotch pruning of the longest limbs to prevent limb breakage in the future but the tree should not have all of the interior branches stripped out which is commonly done since that merely exacerbates the likelihood of limb breakage.

CUPERTINO 3 c. A 6 foot chain link fence mounted on 2 inch galvanized pipe posts driven at least 2 feet in the ground must be installed in the locations shown on the enclosed plan section before any construction or demolition equipmehf arrives on site. d. I recommend that existing pavement be left in place until all demolition and as much building construction, as possible is completed. e. When existing pavement is to be removed, it must be broken up and the pieces hand loaded into a skip loader backing over unbroken sections of pavement. 5. Trees #5, 6, 7 are in Madrid Road frontage and this area may experience road widening which would remove those but those trees are not protected by City Ordinance in any case. 6. Tree #9 serves an important screen between this property and those to the north and I suggest an effort be made to Save that tree for that purpose. 7. Tree #8 the Eugenia tree in the comer is of no significance and is not protected by City Ordinance. Construction Impact The proposed construction design would cause potential damage to trees #1 and 4 if they are retained. Tree #1 1. The proposed walkway which would travel beneath the canopy of this tree could be installed if: a': No compaction is done in the area which will be occupied by the walkway before installation. b. If the walkway is installed on top of the existing grade. c. No wheeled equipment is allowed into the area during the construction of that walkway. d. If the base rock is material which drains at least :y.," per hour to provide oxygen and moisture in the area beneath the paving. 2. The driveway shown beneath the canopy of this tree would cause severe damage to the root system if it were installed as driveways are usually installed by excavation of 9 to 12 inches of surface soil. a. If this driveway can be installed on top of existing grade and the base material is of pervious texture that passes at least :y.," of water per hour, (not standard construction road base material) and the pavement surface is of a material that passes water rapidly as well, this driveway could be installed as shown.

CUPERTINO 4 Be aware that no equipment may be allowed in the area in which that drive is to be installed before installation of the road. It must be leveled by hand tools. If this pervious paving approach is not acceptable to City Engineers, I suggest that concrete be poured over the undisturbed base material with sufficient rebar in it to support it without 95% compaction before installation. If impervious paving is used, the newly installed portion of the driveway which would be beneath the canopy however must have perforated areas down to original soil grade in at least 10% of its surface. These may be take the fonn of 2 to 4 inch wide strips in which strip drains are installed or stripes cut through the paving with bricks set into them. 3. Tree #4 I suggest a construction period fence be erected as shown on the plan before any equipment arrives on scene. Signs that enclosed should be mounted on IO-foot intervals along the top of the fence to prevent sub contractors ITom tearing the fence down. Inspections I suggest that arborists inspections be scheduled after: 1. Protected fences are installed but before demolition begins. 2. After demolition is completed. < 3.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the tentative map, file number TM-2005-14 in accordance with the model resolution. Project Data: General Plan Designation: Zoning Designation: Total Acreage (gross): Net Acreage per parcel: Density: Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU / gr. acre Rl-7.5 21,803 square feet Lot 1- 9,766 sq. ft., Lot 2-10,418 sq. ft. 4 du/gr. acre. Project Consistency with: General Plan: Zoning: Yes, Policy 2-23 Yes Categorically exempt. Environmental Assessment: BACKGROUND: The project site is located on the northeast corner of McClellan and Madrid Roads. A main residence, a second unit, and a detached garage currently exist on the unimproved parcel. Single-family residential parcels surround the subject parcel. DISCUSSION: There are two major discussion points for this subdivision: conformance with the General Plan, since the applicant is proposing a flag lot, and tree removal and retention. Following is a detailed discussion of each subject. Zoning and General Plan Conformance: Lot one (the flag lot) equals 11,385, but has a net lot area of 9,766 since the panhandle portion of the lot (driveway) is not counted in the net area calculation and lot two equals 10,418 net square feet. Since both proposed lots have net areas greater than the 7,500 square feet required for the Rl-7.5 zoning district, the subdivision is consistent ,;)-3/, TM-2005-14 Page 2 January 10, 2006 with the zoning. The residential density at 4 d.u./ gross acre is also consistent with the general plan land use designation (Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU / gr. Acre). In the recently adopted General Plan, Policy 2-23 was added to address neighborhood compatibility. Specifically, the policy ensures "that zoning, subdivision and lot line adjustment requests consider the need to preserve neighborhood lot patterns." It also specifically addresses the subject of flag lots by allowing the creation of "flag lots in proposed subdivisions when they are the only reasonable alternative that integrates with the lot pattern in the neighborhood." Staff believes that in the case of this subdivision, since there is insufficient frontage to subdivide the parcel into two conventional lots, the creation of a flag lot is the only reasonable alternative that integrates with the surrounding lot pattern. The adjacent lots to the north and south are flag lots and there appears to be a clear pattern in this area of flag lots. The clear pattern is demonstrated in the aerial below (subject parcel is highlighted in yellow): Tree Removal and Retention: Nine trees are located on the subject property, three of which are significant and two that are protected under the Cupertino Municipal Code. The City's consulting arborist, Barrie D. Coate and Associates conducted a tree survey of the property in October 2005 (see summary below and enclosures). Mr. Coate recommends that the coast live oak G:IPlanningIPDREPOR1ìpcTMreportsI2005tmreportsITM-2005-14.doc J-B1 TM-2005-14 Page 3 January 10, 2006 tree, located near the existing garage at the rear of the property, and the large deodar cedar, shown on the site plan as a pine tree near Madrid Road, be protected. He has provided detailed instructions on how to protect the coast live oak and the deodar cedar. As a condition of approval, staff is requiring a tree protection bond and requiring that the applicant enter into an agreement with a licensed arborist to ensure compliance with Mr. Coate's recommendations. Additionally, Mr. Coate recommends staff consider retaining a silk tree along the northern property for screening purposes. Staff is recommending that the tree be retained as a condition of the tentative map approval and that the retention be reviewed again at the building permit stage. The Director of Community Development shall make the final decision on the retention of the tree since it is not a protected species and would be retained only for privacy screening. Finally, although the applicant shows they are planning to retain an elm tree, Mr. Coate recommends removal due to decay and a hollow trunk. Tree # and Type Condition Recommendation Notes (Refer to Arborist Report) #1 Coast Live Oak Fair Retain Extremely healthy oak specimen, but its structure makes it highly vulnerable to limb breakage. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to follow the recommendations of the consulting arborist to preserve the tree and ensure healthv retention. #2 Siberian Elm Poor Remove Tree has been stub cut in the past and major decay has resulted. Trunk is hollow due to an old wound. Consulting arborist recommends removal of the tree due to the current state of health. #3 California Date Palm Excellent May be retained, Not a significant species, tree can easily removed or be transplanted or removed at transDlanted. aDDlicant's discretion. #4 Deodar Cedar Excellent Retain Fine specimen of Deodar Cedar that has been overgrown with English Ivy. Ivy needs to be removed to preserve tree. Arborist also makes further recommendations for protecting and preserving. As a condition of approval the applicant will need to follow these recommendations. #5 Silk Tree Excellent May be retained or Not a significant species, mostly removed. ornamental tree.

However, serves as privacy screening between subject property and the adjacent property to the north. As a part of the tentative map application, staff is recommending the tree be retained. At the building permit stage, staff will evaluate whether it is feasible to retain the tree and the Director of Community Development will make the final decision.
