This developer recently requested City approval of major landscaping changes to their property. Extensive tree removal occurred many months ago, but there has been no replacements. In one area where trees were removed there is an unkempt area of destroyed planting surrounded by a temporary chain link fence. This once beautifully landscaped area now is a blight on the community. There should be no changes to this property until concrete action is taken to restore the landscaping. ~L/~iGUTryLrQ~ Don Burnett cc: Steve Piasecki, Don Brown, Mayor and Council, City Nall ® 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014-3'_55 Telephone: (408) 777.3?23 ~ 't?

BACKGROUNll: This property was rezoned in 1961 from residential to commercial. "fhe conunercial center was constructed just prior to 1978. llISCUSSION: Tree Removal: In recent years the center has struggled with dense tree coverage and the lack of retail business visibility. As a result, the property owner submitted this application Ibr removal of dense tree canopies blocking the front of businesses and grouped in the parking lot. "There arc 29 trees proposed for removal and 41-24" box trees proposed for replanting. [iightcen of the 29 trees proposed for removal arc greater than 10" in diameter (sec plan sheet L2). '1'hc landscape architect describes in his letter (enclosed) that the new tree types arc higher branching and not as dense as the existing trees.

Approximately half of the trees arc a furopcan hornbeam, a column shaped, not open branching trcc.'I'hese treys will be located at • the ends of each parking aisle and help to achieve the goal of increasing visibility to the businesses. "Iltc other half of the proposed trees ore open branching which may be thinned to increase visibility through the trees.

Foothill 131vd., Stc 107 Cupertino, CA 95014 Regarding: Tree Removal lixtension Request -September 14, 1998 • Dear Albert, Your letter mentions removal of "other" trees due to hazardous conditions, not approved in application 4-ASA-98 (modification to landscaping and the parking plan). I includr an application Tor tree removal and the I leritage and Specimen Tree ordinance. Rclcrring to Section 14.18.170 & 180, the standards for removal indicate that an application must hr submitted for removal along with information from a Internationally ccrtilicd arhurist deeming the trees unsafe or diseased. If they arc not unsalc or diseased U~c Planning Commission must review the removal request. Regarding your request to extend the replanting date, the Planning Commission allowc~l 90 days following removal for their replacement. It is unclear in your letter how much additional time is needed. Once this is clarified, we can provide a response. A signilicunt • amount of additional time, greater than 30 days, may require approval by the Planning Commission.

The stone pines (in the parking areas) pose hazardous conditions that need to be addressed immediately. We have scheduled in September the removal of these hazardous trees along with those approved by the City Council (identified on plan L2-drawings by Reed Associates, Landscape Architect). Since the locations of the replanting will be determined only after the completion of the new parking and new landscaping layouts, we request that the City extend the replanting requirements. Due to the extensive work (demolition, removal landscaping, curbs, flatwork, asphalt saw cutting demolition of curbs, sealer, striping, irrigation lines) and the forthcoming rainy weather the new parking and new landscaping work are scheduled to occur during better weather conditions. We !hank you and appreciate your consideration and await your comments. Sincerely, Evershine Group r~ Albert B. Cahellon Cc: Robert Cowan Reed Associates C .~llrn All PALTPGClTJL•AV/~ d« 10011 N.

He indicated that a conditional use permit application would be filed by Wednesday, April 28, for a reconfiguration to the center. He indicated that the trees had not been replanted due to this reconfiguration. The application was not filed. 1 spoke with Mr. Scott during the week of May 3, and he indicated that the application would be filed by May 26. 1 asked if the same configuration would be submitted as had been presented and discussed previously with staff. He said a new configuration was to be presented and that he would forward to me the new configuration. The new configuration (dated 5/4/99) has been received and staff has serious concerns about the proposal. Staff would like a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter. Meanwhile, this configuration and other configurations that we have seen do not affect replanting on the highly visible center portions of the center. Therefore, we expect that new landscaping will be immediately planted, not including the area directly around Baxter's and the new pad building. The remaining portions of the center can be planted following public review on the final configuration. Please call me at your earliest convenience to set-up an appointment to discuss the recent proposal. We expect the new planting will be completed within thirty days from this letter. incer ly, Michele Bjurman, AICP Community Development Department Prmled on Recycled Paper . a KtiA1A California .~n~burtnar. /'GUUrOrgF prnourv drda4tinur May 5, 1999 Ms. Michele djurman, AICP City of Cupertino 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, California 95014 RG :The Marketplace at Stevens Creek Site/Landscape Plans Dear Michele: Per your rcyuest, please find enclosed herewith our Site and Landscape Plans which we are interested in submitting before the May 2G'h deadline.
