Measure D: Garden Gate
CUPERTINO CITY CLERK
Jurisdiction: Garden Gate, an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County to be annexed to
the City of Cupertino
Rebuttal to Argument in Favor of Measure D
1. According to many Rancho Rinconada homeowners, annexation has provided no
major benefits or noticeable improvement. In fact, many homeowners feel that
annexation has increased restrictions, expenses, and construction time.

2. In recent years, the county has implemented additional building codes to increase
our neighbors' privacy.
.,.
3. Annexation proponents would want you to believe that there would be no
increased taxes or cost to the area's homeowners. The facts suggest otherwise.
The City will impose the Utility Users' Tax, the Storm Drainage Service Fee and
the Business License Fee.
4. All government services cannot be free and will never be free, as the citizens will
always be required to provide the funding through different forms of taxes. Some
of you might benefit from free compost, reduced fee city-run classes, and crossing
guards funded by everyone's tax money, even though only a few of us would
really take advantage of them. Are unnecessary cost and city government
programs really beneficial to all Garden Gate residences? Currently, traffic
enforcement, crossing guards, street lighting and maintenance are already
provided by various agencies. As long as the services are provided, it doesn't
matter who provides them.
5. For decades, Garden Gate homeowners have enjoyed less government, and fewer
restrictions from the county and at the same time have access to all the amenities
from the surrounding cities - Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, etc. We live in the
best of both worlds. Why mess up a good thing?

NOTES/COMMENTS:
Following is an argument in favor and an argument against
the Cupertino measure.
The argument against the measure appears to have some
underlining, which mayor may not show up on your faxed copy.
The author explained to me that the lines are an artifact from
a clogged printer cartridge, and it was not his intention to
underline any of the words in the argument. The signers of
the argument against did not print their names on the form, so
I have included them here:
Pauline D. Crothers
Lee L. Crothers
Marian M. Crowel
F. Richard Crowel
Cathy R. Brendli
Please call me at (408) 777-3217 ¡fyou need any further information.
