Community Development Director Steve Piasecki reviewed the staff report via a
PowerPoint presentation. He noted that staff recommended adding conditions regarding
street maintenance, pedestrian access, and a Joint Use agreement with the Santa Clara
Valley Water District (SCVWD).
Applicant Frankie Law and his wife briefly discussed their project and answered
questions from Council.
Jennifer Griffin said that she was concerned about taking ranch style homes and
converting them into multi-residential homes, and was also concerned about the safety of
children with no fence around Regnart Creek. She said she appreciated the applicants
keeping the home size down, and asked about the utility easements. Mayor Lowenthal
noted that there was a retaining wall around the property adjacent to the creek.
William Rassieur said that he met the applicants at a neighborhood meeting and he was in
favor of the development.
KwoklMahoney moved and seconded to approve the Use Permit, Architectural & Site
approval, the Tentative Map, and the Negative Declaration, with additional conditions:
(1) Street maintenance; (2) Pedestrian access; (3) A joint use agreement with the Santa
Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD); (4) Allow rear yard fencing with minimal side-

and Wang. Noes: None.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
7. Does the City Council want to revisit the issue of whether or not to operate Blackberry
Farm with a per-person entry fee, and/or revisit the decision regarding capacity of the
picnic ground operation?
Parks and Recreation Director Therese Smith reviewed the staff report.
Bill Fry said that the picnic business isn't serving Cupertino residents, isn't making
money, needs a massive rebuild, and the City needs to end the business and look for other
ways to use tax dollars. He talked about parking issues and the effects of Blackberry Farm
(BBF) construction on the Monta Vista neighborhood. He read two 1990 quotes from
former BBF owner Tom Nelson and the Cupertino Scene commenting that the farm
shouldn't be developed, but be preserved as open space.

Rhoda Fry said that Cupertino citizens are paying a 2.4% utility tax to payoff the bond
that purchased the BBF business and property, and the intent of the purchase was to
preserve BBF as open space. She noted that Cupertino non-profits should be allowed to
continue events at BBF and that picnic profits have never paid for the property. She
showed an overhead titled, "Would you invest in this business?" She asked staff to
explain the discrepancies in the numbers and urged Council to make an informed decision
on the future of the park. Administrative Services Director Carol Atwood commented on
the slide and discussed the numbers per the annual audit report. She said that revenues
dipped down during the recession, but are starting to go back up now.
Marilyn Goodman talked about BBF being promised as open space and wants to use it as
such. She said she sees no benefit to a parking lot in the middle of the neighborhood, but
at the Blue Pheasant instead. She commented that streets are already impacted in the areas
around BBF, and residents of Cupertino would treat the park better than non-residents.
She urged Council to make BBF an open-space preserve like it was intended to be.
Deborah Jamison talked about the needs of the wildlife and the restoration of the riparian
habitat at BBF. She said that if the restoration project were to be successful, it would be
wise to re-think the mass picnic concept and protect the restoration areas from huge
numbers of people. She noted that solution would be to reserve the west side for
preservation only, and take the 350 parking space area and make it an open field picnic
ground for large groups.
David McLeroy said he was concerned about having an entrance through the
neighborhood instead of from Stevens Creek. He noted that non-residents should also be
allowed to enjoy the park, but Council should be more thoughtful of the neighborhood.
Deborah Hill said that BBF should be rebuilt and kept for residents. She said that there
should be more picnic tables and less parking, but any parking should be from Stevens
Creek and not through the neighborhood.
Jennifer Griffin said that she used BBF as a child, and hopes Cupertino residents would
get a reduced rate to use the facilities, especially the swimming pool. She asked how long
the trail was through the park to McClellan Ranch.
Alex Tsai showed slides regarding BBF data. He noted concerns about neighborhood
impacts if the entrance were to go through the neighborhood rather than off of Stevens
Creek. He asked Council to consider an overcrowded park in a crowded neighborhood vs.
a greenbelt and natural park.
Rose Serio said that the neighborhood environment and community spirit has eroded in
the last few years due to the privacy, noise, and pollution from BBF. She asked Council
to continue to have functions there, but to allow privacy to the community. She supported
making the entrance on Stevens Creek, and suggested having a larger police force when
there are large crowds at BBF.

as listed in the staff report, with the exception of reducing the Jubilee Festival by the cost

Department stating that the Council agreed that the heliport project posed significant and

COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Lowenthal noted that the Director of Parks and Recreation, Therese Smith, had recently
gone to Sacramento in an attempt to obtain some funding for the creek restoration project that
had been lost to the city. While there was overall great support for this project, about $800,000
was not awarded to the City because of a letter written by the watershed council on certain
unresolved issues with this project. While Proposition 50 money was no longer available, it as
possible that other funding might be obtained for this project.
