17. Conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 09-2042: "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Cupertino adding Chapter 16.74 to adopt the Wildland Urban Interface Fire
Area" (Continued from March 17}.
Building Official Greg Casteel reviewed the staff report via a PowerPoint presentation.
Dirk Mattern, Deputy Chief -Fire Prevention Division, said that Santa Claza County Fire
is recommending that the City adopt a larger area than the minimum State requirements
that would more closely match the City's former hazardous fire area for hillsides. He said
that the primary concern is defensible space in that azea and if Council only adopts the
high zone, then none of the City's pre~~iously adopted hillside fire safety regulations
would apply.
Mayor Mahoney opened the public hearing and, seeing no speakers, closed the public
hearing.
Sandoval moved and Wang seconded to defer this item to May 5 and directed staff and
County Fire to provide more information regarding current fire restrictions in Cupertino,
how the orange zone would be impacted if the red zone is adopted, and provide the parcel
numbers of the 1 O parcels in the proposed red zone. The motion carried unanimously.
Wong moved and Santoro seconded to reopen the public hearing. The motion carried
unanimously.
Hendricus Ryssemus said that his property is in the red azea and he was concerned about
being able to get fire insurance. He sugge_aed de-annexing $om the City of Cupertino.
George Royer said his property is also i:n the red zone. He noted that the red zone is
arbitrary because there aze properties that are an even higher fire risk than his, and he
asked Council to look into this more cazefully before making a decision about what the
State wants. He said he also did not want to be annexed to the City of Cupertino
originally.
Pete Matkovich said that he felt the same way as the two previous speakers.
