Applicant:
Property Location:
Agenda Date: December 12, 2006
Application Summary:
Tentative Map to subdivide a 19,842 square foot parcel into two lots (Lot 1 - 6,731
and Lot 2 - 9,498 square feet). In addition, the applicant is also requesting a Use
Permit and an Architectural and Site approval to construct a new two-story 5,208
square foot residence on Lot 2. Lot 1 will remain vacant pending future
development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve TM-2006-11, U-2006-
10 and ASA-2006-18 with the staff suggested changes subject to the model
resolutions.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project site is located at the northeast corner of Granada Avenue
and Minaker Court in a P(RES 4.4 to 12) - Planned Development Residential
zoning district. Residential development in
this zoning district is required to comply
with the R1 Ordinance. If they do not
comply with the R1 Ordinance, a Use
Permit and Architecture and Site approval
are required. The applicant is requesting a
new two story home on Lot 2 with a 57%
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) (the maximum
allowed FAR is 45 %) and a reduced rear
yard setback along the east property line.
Currently, Minaker Court is constructed as
a half (see diagram), the project will
complete the remaining portion of the
court, including all of the public
infrastructures (sidewalk, curb! gutter and
street lighting).

DISCUSSION:
Aside from the proposed FAR and the rear yard setback, the proposed residence
is consistent with all other aspects of the Rl Ordinance. Please refer to the
following project summary table:

Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
According to the Rl Ordinance, the maximum allowable FAR is 45 %. However,
greater flexibility of this rule is provided in a Planned Development Zoning
District when developments are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
The applicant provided a survey of 29 neighboring properties. The F ARs for the
29 homes ranged from 49 to 93
percent, with an average of 65
percent. The immediate adjacent
homes that are located on the
opposite side of Minaker Court (see
diagram right) and to the north of
the project site have FAR ranging
from 58 % to 90 %. Based on the
square footage comparison study
and a visual massing study of the
surrounding residences, staff is
supportive of the proposed FAR of
the project.

Rear Yard Setback
The majority of single family parcels
located in the City of Cupertino consist of
four property boundaries (front, two sides
and a rear) in forms of rectangular shaped
lots. In these cases, the rear yard (20-feet
setback) is defined as the yard area most
distant from and the most parallel to the
street frontage (see right diagram).
However, lots that are located at the end of
cul-de-sacs often will have five property
boundaries (a curved front lot line, two
sides and two rear lot lines). As a result,
there will be two required rear yards on these properties. The intent of this nile
is to ensure that there are sufficient building
separations to the adjacent properties to
minimize any potential negative impacts. The
project property (Lot 2) is located at the end of
the cul-de-sac with five property boundaries and
based on the above definition, the property has
two rear yards (along the northerly and easterly
property lines) as illustrated in the diagram to
the left.
The applicant is requesting that the rear yard
along the easterly property line be reduced to 5
feet to match the side yard orientation of the
adjacent residence. Staff is supportive of this
request since the concept is consistent with the
intent of the Ordinance. However
the project house will have a 74 foot
long wall span along the east
elevation that is not well articulated.
In addition, the east elevation will
present a less than ideal building
interface because it will virtually be
5 feet away from the adjacent
neighbor's rear yard for a distance of
approximately 30 feet.

Even though there are some mature trees on the adjacent property that may
offers some screening! staff is still concerned with the unarticulated wall plan
and the potential visual impacts from the proposed east elevation. The City
Arborist has also suggested that the building be set back further from the east
property boundary in order to ensure preservation the mature trees on the
neighbor!s yards (see Tree Preservation section of this report).
If the Commission finds merit in the applicanf s request! then it has the following
design options to help alleviate the above concerns:
1. Additional building articulation (recess or bump out of walls) be provided
along the ground floor of the proposed house to help soften the long wall
span and provide more architectural interest.
2. A minimum 10 foot single story building setback shall be maintained
along the easterly elevation starting from the rear yard of the adjacent
property. This will promote a better building interface and reduce
potential negative visual impacts to the adjacent neighbor to the east.
Tree Preservation
The City's Consultant Arborist
prepared a tree report for this project
on November 21! 2006. According to the report! 4 trees located on the subject
property and 8 located on the adjacent properties have been identified to be
within the potential sphere of impact of the proposed project. Out of the 12
trees! only 2 are protected specimen species under the Citi s Ordinance (Tree #2
and #3, 48/1 and 32/1 Live Oak! respectively). Both of these trees are in good
health but have co-dominant trunks attached at acute angles with imbedded bark
(see picture). This structural condition can be managed by the use of cabling and
pruning and thin the end weight of the limbs at highest risk. If this work is
performed by a tree expert! the trees are expected to survive for many years.
Ai~
~ to.
Staff believes that these two concerns
may be addressed at the same time
by setting the proposed great room
another 5 feet away from the easterly
property line (at 10 feet setback -
please see right diagram). Should
the Planning Commission adopt this
measure, the revised plans shall be
reviewed and approved by the
Design Review Committee for
approval.

In addition, the City Arborist raised concerns about the close proximity (10 feet)
of the proposed third car garage to the trunk of Oak tree #2. Also concerns were
raised that the potential development activities (i.e., trenching, drainage systems
and grading) from the project may negatively impact trees #7 to #11. The
following tree protection measures are recommended by the City Arborist:
Options relating to Tree #2
1. In order for the Oak tree to survive, there must not be any significant root
loss within 18 feet of the trunk.
2. Delete the third car garage/shop or recess the third car garage/shop
further toward the back (north) of the property in order to provide a
minimum of 18 foot setback from the trunk of tree #2 (see diagram below).
3. Any portion of the driveway located within the 18 foot zone shall be
paved with porous material over geo-grids to allow water to permeate
and minimum amount of soil disturbance.
4. Tree #2 must be cabled and pruned by a certified tree expert prior to the
final occupancy of the home (this also applies to tree #3).

2. The proposed building footprint should be relocated further way (8 to 10
feet) from the easterly property line to facilitate more room for the root
systems of the trees located on the adjacent property. This is consistent
with staff's previous recommendation to require at least a 10 foot building
setbacks along the east elevation in the interests of providing more
building articulation and better building interface.
Additional general tree protection measures that have been specified in the tree
report will also be conditions of the project.
Architectural Texture and Detailing
No color/material board has been submitted for review at the time of the
preparation of this staff report. The applicant will provide a color and material
board at the Commission hearing.
Letters of Support
The applicant submitted 10 letters of support from the immediate surrounding
neighbors including a letter that is from the adjoining neighbor east of the project
property.

Assignment
We have been asked by Mr. Gary Chao, Planner, City of Cupertino, to evaluate the
existing trees located at the Adzich Property, 21891 Granada Avenue, Cupertino,
California.
The plan provided for this evaluation the Site Plan, prepared by Environmental
Innovations, Discovery Bay, California, Sheet AO.I.l, dated 10-23-06.
Summary
A total of 12 trees are included in this inventory. Of these 12 trees, 4 are located on this
property and 8 are located on adjacent properties.
All of the 12 trees are identified by species, briefly described here (trunk diameter,
height, spread, health, structural integrity) and given an overall condition rating of
Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, Extremely Poor.
Of the total 12 trees, 5 are protected by City of Cupertino regulation. These are Trees # 1,
2,3, 7, and 8.
Tree # 2, a large coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) would not likely survive construction
as proposed. Trees # 3 and 7-11 (neighboring trees) may also be at risk of significant root
loss.
Revision of the plans is recommended to assure the survival of Trees # 2-11.
Observations
There are 12 trees included in this tree survey. Of these trees, 4 are located on this site
and 8 are located on neighboring properties. Where the canopies of the neighboring trees
extend on to this site, or where the root systems likely extend on to this site, those
neighboring trees are included in the inventory. The attached map shows the locations of
all trees and their approximate canopy dimensions. No labels were affixed to the trees on
neighboring properties.
The 12 trees are classified as follows:
Tree # 1 - Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia)
Trees # 2, 3 - Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia)
Trees # 4, 5, 6, 9, 12 - Japanese privet (Ligustrumjaponicum)
Trees # 7, 8 - Aptos blue redwood (Sequoia sempervirens 'Aptos Blue ')
Trees # 10, 11 - Krauter Vesuvius purple plum (Prunus cerasifera 'Krauter Vesuvius ')

Comments about Specific Trees
Trees # 2 and 3 are large coast live oak specimens (Quercus agrifolia). Both of these
trees have co-dominant leaders attached at acute angles with imbedded bark. This
structural condition often results in limb drop at the point of attachment. However, this
structural weakness can be managed by the use of cabling and pruning to thin the end-
weight of limbs at highest risk. This work requires the expertise of a certified arborist.
Trees with this condition that are properly cabled and pruned by an expert can be
expected to survive for many years. However, the cables must be inspected periodically
and the end-weight thinning must be done every 5-7 years.
Methods
The trunk measurements of the existing trees are taken using a standard measuring tape at
4 Y:z feet above soil grade, except those specimens whose form does not allow a
representative measurement at this height. In those instances, the measurement is done at
the most representative location according to the guidelines of the International Society
of Arboriculture. The standard measurement is referred to as DBH (Diameter at Breast
Height). The height and canopy spread of each tree is estimated using visual references
only. The estimated shape of the canopy relative to the other nearby trees has been added
to the attached map. The trunk measurements of the neighboring trees were estimated at a
distance of about 10 feet.
Trees # 1,4,5,6, 7,8,9, 10, 11, and 12 were not shown on the Site Plan provided. These
trees have been added using visual references only. Their locations are approximate.
Also, the Site Plan provided shows 2 trees on the north side of this property. It appears
that these 2 trees are proposed new landscape trees.
Protected Trees
The City of Cupertino (Chapter 14.18) "finds that the preservation of specimen and
heritage trees on private and public property, and the protection of all trees during
construction, is necessary for the best interests of the City and of the citizens and the
public thereof." The City "finds it is in the public interest to enact regulations controlling

the care and removal of specimen and heritage trees... " A "Heritage Tree" means "any
tree or grove of trees which, because of factors, but not limited to, its historic value,
unique quality, girth, height or species, has been found by the Architectural and Site
Approval Committee to have a special significance to the community." A "Specimen
tree" means any of the following:

Maple;
Deodar Cedar;
Blue Atlas Cedar
Of the total 12 trees, 5 are protected by Ci ty of Cupertino regulation. These are Trees # I,
2,3, 7, and 8.
Risks to Trees by Proposed Construction
It appears that Tree # 12 would be in conflict with the construction of the new residence
nearest Granada Avenue.
The proposed new residence located on the north side of this proposed subdivision would
construct a workshop within approximately 6-8 feet of Tree # 2, a 48 inch diameter (at 2
feet above grade) coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). This tree has a canopy
approximately 65 feet north to south and approximately 45 feet east to west. This would
likely result in severe root loss to Tree # 2.
If Tree # 2 is expected to survive in good condition, there must be no significant root loss
within 20 feet of the trunk. This distance is 5 times the trunk diameter of this specimen,
which is the typical distance that we consider an acceptable safe distance, in our
experience. However, this presumes that there would be no other soil work (including
grading or trenching) within the remainder of the root zone, which we typically calculate
to be 10 times the trunk diameter or 40 feet (radius) from the trunk.
The proposed driveway, shop, and garage would cover a large portion of the root zone of
Tree # 2 with an impervious surface. This would have the effect of diverting rainfall in
this area to the storm system and would limit the exchange of gases between the soil and

the atmosphere, which is vital for survival. The use of pavers for the driveway would not
improve this problem, because the sub-soil in a paver area is required to be stabilized.
This usually means that 12-14 inches of soil would be removed, including all of the roots,
and replaced with compacted base material.
Bear in mind that the majority of roots typically exist in the top IS to 24 inches of soil.
Trenching, grading, or other soil work does not have to be deep to result in significant, if
not severe, root loss.
New residential construction requires that "positive grading" be done around the new
structure in order to direct run off away from the new residence. This grading would not
be feasible within approximately 20 feet of the trunk depending on other soil work that
may be done (i.e., for a footing).
No civil plans are provided. The grading and drainage required to construct this proposed
residence would appear to jeopardize the root systems of Trees # 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and
possibly Tree # 3, a 32 inch diameter (at 3 feet above grade) coast live oak (Quercus
agrifolia). Also, Tree # 1, located on the south lot, would appear to be exposed to
significant risk of root loss by "positive grading" around the new residence.
The trees at this site would likely be at risk of damage by construction or construction
procedures that are common to most construction sites. These procedures may include the
dumping or the stockpiling of materials over root systems, may include the trenching
across the root zones for utilities or for landscape irrigation, or may include construction
traffic across the root system resulting in soil compaction and root die back.
If any underground utilities are to be replaced or upgraded, it will be essential that the
location of trenches be planned prior to construction and those locations are shown on
plans, and that the trenches be dug at the locations shown on the plans.
Conclusions
Trees # 2 and 12 would not be expected to survive without significant plan modification.
Tree # 12 would be no great loss, but Tree # 2 would be a major loss to this urban
environment.
Trees # 7-11 may also be at risk of survival depending on the Grading and Drainage
proposed (not currently provided to us).
Tree # 3, also a large coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), may also be exposed to
significant risk depending on: (1) the Grading and Drainage Plan, (2) the staging of
materials and equipment during construction, and (3) the trenching and excavation
associated with landscaping.

Recom mendations
1. I recommend that Trees # 2- 11 be preserved, and I recommend that the plans be
revised to provide adequate space for the survival of these trees.
2. I recommend that the Grading and Drainage plans be required to be reviewed by
the city arborist.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to
examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to
reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations
of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.
Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often
hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or
safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments,
like medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some
degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.

Cupertino, CA
As we discussed today by phone, you requested that I recommend specific strategies that
would be feasible for this site in order to preserve the existing trees.
1. In order to preserve Tree # 2, a large coast live oak (Quercus agrifo1ia), in my
opinion, I recommend that the proposed garage be reduced to 2 automobiles and
that the adjoining workshop be eliminated or relocated to another side of the
residence. If this were done, it appears that the comer of the revised garage plan
would be approximately 18 feet from the trunk of Tree # 2. Although I stated in
the Arborist's Report that a distance of 20 feet would be required, I believe that
18 feet would feasible in this case because of the fact that only the comer of the
garage would be closer than 20 feet, instead of the entire side of the garage across
the whole root zone. In other words, only a small area inside of 20 feet would be
affected. I consider this a feasible alternative.
The distance of 20 feet is equal to 5 times the trunk diameter of Tree # 2. This
distance of 5 times trunk diameter represents the maximum allowable root loss
that a healthy tree would likely be able to tolerate without decline, provided the
following conditions would also occur:
. Only one side of the tree would suffer root losses. If more than one side of
the tree would suffer root losses, this acceptable distance from the trunk
must be greater.
. The tree must be irrigated for 2 years, which is the period of recovery.
. The entire root zone inside the drip line would be covered (mulched) with
4 inches of wood chips or other mulch.
In other words, we consider root damage to a maximum of 5 times the trunk
diameter of a healthy specimen, such as Tree # 2, quite severe. However, in our
experience, this is an acceptable level, from which a healthy tree should survive in
good condition provided it would be supported by these three procedures during
the recovery period, typically 2 years. This distance of 5 times trunk diameter
usually represents approximately 20-25% root loss. This is the standard by which
we have been successful for years. In our experience, the risk of survival decreases
exponentially when root losses occur inside this area (5x tnmk diameter).
You asked about the whether or not roots exist outside the drip line. Researchers
have found that for most species, the absorbing root mass typically extends well
}-'d5
outside the drip line by as much as twice the diameter of the canopy.
2. I further recommend that the driveway be reduced for a 2 car garage.
3. I recommend that trenching for drainage be a minimum of 20 feet from the trunk
of Tree # 2. This would not allow for a drainage trench on the west side of the
new building. However, the east side is proposed on the set back limit
approximately 5 feet from the existing fence. This means that a trench for
drainage would be located within 2-3 feet of the existing fence, posing a severe
risk to Trees # 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. I recommend that the footprint be relocated
approximately 8-10 feet from the fence in order for drainage to be done without
high risk of root loss to the neighboring trees. If this modification would be done,
the neighboring trees could tolerate a drainage trench 8-10 feet from their trunks.
Bear in mind that a drainage swale would not reduce the risk to this trees, due to
the fact that the overwhelming majority of absorbing roots exist near the soil
surface.
In my opinion, the possibility of converting the 3rd garage space to a car port would not
be feasible, because of the fact that a large portion of the root zone of Tree # 2 would be
covered by concrete, an impervious surface.

Gary,
I apologize I neglected to include a comment about this. I am trying to do too many things at once.
Yes, reclocation of the 3rd Car Garage and the use of a pervious concrete over geo-grid on the existing
soil grade for that section of the driveway would be feasible.
If you need a more formal statement from me, let me know.

Michael,
In the event that the Planning Commission decides to allow the 3rd car garage, the option of
setting it back (at least 18 feet away from the trunk of tree #2) further and allowing the driveway
leading up to it provided that porous concrete be used and laid on top of geo-grids without
compacting the existing gride is still valid right? Please let me know..thx.

Planned Development (P) Zones
. A. The planned development (P) zoning district is
intended tq provide a means of guiding land
development or redevelopment of the City that is
uniquely suited for planned coordination of land uses
and to provide for a greater flexibility of land use
intensity and design because of accessibility,
ownership patterns, topographical considerations,
and community design objectives
~

Planned Development (P) Zones
. B. The planned development zoning district is
specifically intended to encourage variety in the
development pattern of the community; to promote a
more desirable living environment; to encourage
creative approaches in land development... . .. . . .
. Ordinance 1050 & 1523
- Specific to the subject area
. 18. Due to existing lot sizes and/or structure
locations, there are no specific zoning requirements
relative to setbacks, lot coverage, and parking with
the exception of the requirements set forth in the
Uniform Building Code. It is intended that the
requirements of the zone in which the use is ordinarily
permitted will be strived for; however, the City, as
part of the Use Permit procedure, may establish lesser
setbacks, greater lot coverage, and lesser parking
~ requirements as it deems appropriate.

- Includes 812 sq. ft. Garage Space
. Allows for two cars and storage space
Includes "Double counting" of the staircase
_ Includes 251 sq. ft. of unused "attic" space
. Established FAR for the area
- Low 49%
- High 93%
- Median 57%
- Average 65%

. R-l Ordinance
_ The maximum floor area of the second story shall be
forty-five percent of the existing or proposed first story
floor area
. Proposal

Second Story Exposed Walls
. R -1 Ordinance
_ Fifty percent of the total perimeter length of second
story walls shall not have exposed wall heights greater
than six feet, and shall have a minimum two-foot high
overlap of the adjoining first story roof against the
second story wall. The overlap shall be offset a
minimum of four feet from the first story exterior wall
plane
. Proposal
- Project meets this criteria
. Actual percentage: 44%
. Comparison to the area
_ Only 2 of the 28 homes in the sample group meet this
criteria

Building Envelope
. R-l Ordinance
_ A 10' tall imaginary line drawn at the property line and
a line drawn at a 25-degree angle on all four sides of
the property define the building envelope. The first
story portion of the home, including eves, shouldfit
within the building envelope in all directions
. Proposal
- Meets this requirement
. Comparison to the area
_ By "approximation ", it appears that very few of the
existing structures meet this requirement
~
..b-
E;
Articulation
. R-l Ordinance
_ Subjective guidance to minimize "Blank" walls and a
perception of mass
. The entire project reflects a great deal of articulation
that far exceeds other buildings in the area
- Angled exterior walls
- Courtyard entrance
_ Extensive use of windows and French doors
- 3 foot Eves throughout
- Complex roof lines and heights
~

~
~
Transition of Plate Heights
. R-l Ordinance
- Subjective as per Staff .
. Proposed project reflects a smooth transition of plate
heights from the first floor to the Great room to the
Second floor
_ No abrupt change from the first floor to the second
floor
- Provides for further articulation and architectural
"interest" of the structure
((j
~
cP
Building & Yard interface
. R-l Ordinance
- Subjective as per Staff
. Due to the unique "corner lot" there is some concern
by staff as to a section of about 20' on the NorthlEast
corner of the building
. Proposal
_ Side yard will be adjacent to side yard of adjoining
properties
_ Rear yard will be adjacent to rear yards of existing
properties on East and North sides
. The inconsistent outline of the adjacent property
. presents an obstacle for any design
