SUBJECT: MINOR RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ACTION LETTER- Application RM-2009-13:
This letter confirms the decision of the Director of Community Development, given on October
16, 2009; approving a Minor Residential Permit to allow a 753 square foot one-story addition to
encroach 10 feet into the required 20 foot rear yard setback area, located at 21971 Columbus
Avenue, with the following conditions:
1. APPROVED PROTECT
This approval is based on a plan set entitled, "Greif Residence, 21971 Columbus Ave,
Cupertino, CA" consisting of five sheets labeled "SP"; "1 "; " 2"; " 3"; and "4" dated
September 25, 2009 except as maybe amended by conditions in this resolution.
2. SILK MIMOSA TREE
Prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit a protection plan to
protect the Silk Mimosa tree with the following protection standards written on the plan:
- A four-foot high chain link fence and other root protection shall be installed around
the drip line of the tree prior to any project site work.
- No construction operations shall be carried on within the drip line area of any tree
designated to be saved except as authorized by the Director of Community
Development.
- No trenching within the critical root zone area is allowed. If trenching is needed in
the vicinity of trees to be retained, the City's consulting arborist shall lie consulted
before any trenching or root cutting beneath the drip line of the tree. '
- Wood chip mulch shall be evenly spread inside the tree projection fence to a four-
inch depth.
- No branches or roots shall be cut unless at first reviewed by the landscape
architect/arborist with approval of staff.
- The tree shall be watered to maintain it in good health.
- No storage of construction materials or chemical solvents shall be permitted within
the drip line area of the tree.
The above tree protection regulations shall be posted on protective fencing around the
Silk Mimosa tree.
In the event that the Silk Mimosa tree dies, it shall be replaced with either one (1) 36"
box or two (2) 24" box trees that are identified on PG&E's approved tree list as screen
and non-invasive trees. The property owner is also encouraged, but not required, to
plant additional trees on the property, preferably to provide screening from other
properties.
3. TREE PROTECTION CERTIFICATION
A certified arborist's certification ascertaining the good health of the Silk Mimosa
tree mentioned above shall be provided prior to issuance of final occupancy.
4. OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Any outdoor lighting shall be oriented and designed to preclude any light and direct
glare to adjacent residential properties, including the adjoining fence.
5. CONSULTATION WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS
The applicant is responsible to consult with other departments and/or agencies with
regard to the proposed project for additional conditions and requirements. Any
misrepresentation of any submitted data may invalidate an approval by the Community
Development Department.
6. EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS/TREATMENTS
Final building exterior treatment plan (including but not Iimited to details on exterior
color, material, architectural treatments and/or embellishments) shall be reviewed and
approved by the Director of Community Development prior to issuance of building
permits. The final building exterior plan shall closely resemble the details shown on the
original approved plans. Any exterior changes determined to be substantial by the
Director of Community Development shall require a minor modification approval with
neighborhood input.
7. NOTICE OF FEES, DEDICATIONS, RESERVATIONS OR OTHER EXACTIONS
The Conditions of Project Approval set forth herein may include certain fees, dedication
requirements, reservation requirements, and other exactions. Pursuant to Government
Code Section 66020(d) (1), these Conditions constitute written notice of a statement of
the amount of such fees, and a description of the dedications, reservations, and other
exactions. You are hereby further notified that the 90-day approval period in which you
may protest these fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions, pursuant to
Government Code Section 66020(a), has begun. If you fail to file a protest within this 90-
day period complying with all of the requirements of Section 66020, you will be legally
barred from later challenging such exactions.
Please be aware that if this permit is not used within one year, it shall expire on October 16,
2010.
Staff received comments from neighbors expressing concerns regarding outdoor lighting, the
removal of the Silk Mimosa tree, and the proximity of the addition to the rear property line and
PG&E easement. The owner has agreed to retain and protect the Silk Mimosa tree; therefore a
condition of approval has been added to protect the tree during construction. A condition of
approval has also been added to orient any outdoor lighting away from adjacent properties. The
City allows the rear yard setback to be reduced to 10 feet, provided that the usable rear yard
requirement is met and that the findings stated in CMC section 19.28.090 (B) are made. The
addition will not encroach into the PG&E easement, and will leave adequate room for service
workers in the event of an emergency.
Staff has made all the findings that are required for approval of a Minor Residential Permit as
required by the of Cupertino's Municipal Code, Chapter 19.28.090 (B). Also, please note that an
appeal of this decision can be made within 14 calendar days from the date of this letter. If this
happens, you will be notified of a public hearing, which will be scheduled before the Planning
Commission.
Sincerely,
George Schroeder
Assistant Planner
