Subj: File No. 1-TM-92(M), Minor Modification of a tentative parcel map approval to
remove a protected Monterey pine located at 22428 Cupertino Road
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative approval of~
minor changes to a project. The Director reports his decision to the; City Council and
Planning Commission in time to allow any Councilmember or Planning Commissioner to
appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days.
Application:
File No. 1-TM-92(M), Minor Modification of a tentative parcel map approval to rcnx>vc
a protected Monterey pine located at 22428 Cupertino Road. Part of the approval ol~ the
original subdivision map was the protection of all mature specimen trees that were not
within the building footprints. The subject 27-inch, specimen-sized Monterey pine, one
of the protected trees, has since been infested with turpentine beetles. "Phis insect is the
common predecessor to an attack by pine bark beetle and almost always signilics the
impending decline of a Monterey pine tree according to Barrie U. Coate, the reporting
arborist. Mr. Coate recommends that the pine be removed because of the existing pest
infestation, expected future pest infestations and the poor structure ol~ the tree which has
the potential to drop one or several major limbs from the upper canopy.
Action:
The Director of Community Development deems the modilcation minor and approves
the removal of the Monterey pine tree on the condition that the applicant plan a 24"
boxed tree of the applicant's choice somewhere on the property.
This approval of the modification is effective January 20, 2000. The fourteen calendar
day appeal period will expire on February 3, 2000.
