Application 2-U-89 (Mod.). Plan for both the enclosure of 355 square feet of existing deck space to
enlarge the dining room and the placement of a SOKW emergency power generator adjacent to existing
pump house.
Description
Attached site plan and vicinity map (Figure 1), shows the location of both the enclosed deck space and
the emergency power generator. The main floor plan (Figure 2) shows the location of the dining room
enclosure. Attached is Exhibit A, a letter from the applicant stating their reasoning for both the deck
enclosure and the emergency power generator. The applicant wants to enclose the space because the
present deck is being under utilized and it would be more efficient for as part of an increased dining
room. While an increased number of power outages over the past two years is the reason why the
applicant wants to install an emergency power generator. Also attached with this report is Exhibit B
from the applicant detailing power outages in the area over the past two years. Figure 3 shows the
exterior elevations and cross sections for the site.
Staff has no problem with either request. The enclosed deck is not visible from neighboring properties.
The new generator is not audible to any surrounding properties, as evidenced by the enclosed noise
exception approved by Cupertino's Noise Control Officer (Exhibit C).
Action
The Director of Community Development approves the addition of the existing deck space and the
placement of the emergency power generator according to the plans provided. (Exhibits A & B, Figures
1,2,3).

4, Ivlarianist check #5853 in the amount of S 162.00 as the required Application Fee.
Enclosure of Exists Deck
Over the past several years, there has been minimal use of the existing deck which is to be
enclosed. If the weather is nice enough to be outside, the retirees use the easterly deck since it
has a better vista. Conversely, the dining room is in continual use. It is proposed that the
expanded dining room would allow the placement of smaller tables which would facilitate not
• only a diminished institutional mealtime atmosphere and experience but would enable a erecter
separation of the room for recreational activities.
Emer~ncy Generator:
The Villa currently has an emergency power generator for power and for providing electricity
to the pumps that support the fire sprinkler system. This system, however, is not capable of
supporting the pumps that boost the domestic water from the main to the facilities. To enable
the Villa to be fully operational in the event of a power failure, the water system requires a
separate generator. Since 1993, a record of power outages has been recorded which is enclosed
for your information.
It is proposed to place the new senerator on an existing concrete pad adjacent to and westerly
of the existing pump house. At that location, it will not be visible from the public terminus of
Mercedes Road and it wilt be afforded the shielding of the structure. It is expected that the large
existing generator will greatly mask the new generator noise so that there will be no perceptible
change in the "ambient power outage" noise level.
Doting our site visit last week, you indicated that once the Application is approved, a Building
Permic must be issued within two years. We wish to confirm this time period because the fund
raising effort for the enclosure portion of the project may take as long as twenty months.
Very trul}' yours,
Harry L or

Re: Request for Special Exception to Community
Noise Control Ordinance -22840 Mercedes Road
Dear (Vir. Lalor„
In a letter dated August 19, 1996 you requested a special exception to the Community
Noise Contro! Ordinance of the City of Cupertino. (Municipal Code Chapter 10.48). The
• special exception was requested because of the need for an emergency generator which would
exceed the noise standazds set forth in section 10.48.050 of the ordinance. The noise standards
set forth in said ordinance aze as follows::
Maximum Noise Level
Land Use on Receiving ProRrty
Nighttime Daytime
Residential 50 dBA 60 dBA
Nonresidential 55 dBA 65 dBA
A site visit was made to Villa Saint Joseph on August 23 to identify property owners
and/or occupants in the immediate vicinity. Considering your statement that the ventilated
structural enclosure is capable of reducing the noise to a level which would be in compliance
with Cupertino's noise standards set forth herein, and the absence of other occupants and/or
property owners in the immediate vicinity, please be advised that your request for a special
cxccption is approved.
