This is of course nonsense. The traffic impact will be no greater than that of the De Anza students who successfully use the area today. There is a positive impact on our local ability to get fresh produce and improve our diets. I see no meaningful reasons why you should not approve a Farmer's Market proposal. I see lots of FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) spread via litter, but nothing of any substance. We purchased our home in this area knowing full well that the Oaks, Flint Center, Memorial Park, the De Anza Swap Meet, etc. all would bring people into the area. This is nothing different. This will not affect us in anything but a positive way. elm Colin Jung From: Jeniffer Boldrini Denibold@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 12:29 AM To: winnieleedds@yahoo.com; hmartymiller@yahoo.com; book,sun@gmail.com; pauldbrophy@yahoo.com; Colin Jung; Gary Chao; clintonbrownley@yahoo.com; City Clerk Subject: FOR Outdoor market in Cupertino To whom it may concern, I am a resident of glenbrook apartments, and today I received a letter from management stating that they are against the outdoor market in Cupertino. As a resident, I have to say that I would LOVE to have a market walking distance from my house, and I completely do not agree with management from my apartment complex. I currently have to drive to Los Gatos to get my fresh produce, and if I could just cross the street instead would be awesome. My neighbors and,I are excited about it and would love to see it happen.

To use the mostly empty parking lot of the center to stimulate some business is a welcome news in this hard economic time. We should do what we can to help the ailing economy. I applaud the mall's management for looking outside the box for source of revenue. The fresh produce that will be brought so close to us is another benefit that will be reap by most of us who live within walking distance from the proposed location. It will be good to see the Oaks Center liven up by more activities and happenings.

This property has had four different addresses, first was P.O. Box 407, second was 21500 Homestead Road, third was 10500 Mary Ave, now it it's 21428 Meteor Drive. All of your e-mail addresses were provided by the kind people at Glenbrook Apts, a national award winning property. Mary Avenue in Cupertino is not neighborhood street with single family homes. At north end of Mary Avenue in Cupertino you have city maintenance yard and at the south end at Stevens Creek you have the Oaks and DeAnza collage, a senior center, and Memorial park. In between you have condo complex and the Glenbrook Apts; that's it. There is nothing else. I don't feel property values will drop. With the college there and Memorial Park, the Oaks, the senior center, things are always going on at that end of Mary. It's a very busy area. I'm for the outdoor market, the city should generate revenue from the Oaks. I used to walk down to the bookstore in the Oaks, now, if you had good truck food vendors at the Oaks, I would walk down there again. You can't expect the city to generated revenue, but not in my neighborhood. That is so short sighted. Let's get this thing rolling and generate some revenue for the city. Those people at Glenbrook Apts have to realize that many of their renters are not there because of property values, but because of Cupertino schools. I would guess, there are more children per square foot at Glenbrook Apts than on Meteor Drive. These schools have to funded, Garden Gate, Kennedy Junior High and Monta Vists High School and DeAnza College. What's more important, a national award winning property or national award winning schools. See you at Sam's Choward, Todd J.

I recently heard about a potential project being discussed in our neighborhood: a farmer's market in the Oaks near Memorial Park. I am so excited about the potential for a market of this sort in that complex. If the Oaks owner/manager is for this idea, I as a walking -distance neighbor am certainly for it! I realize that Cupertino has another market in the Vallco lots, and Saratoga and Sunnyvale offer very good ones, but if the Oaks can create a sizeable market at least as large as the Vallco market, it could be quite successful. It's my belief; I'm sorry to say - for Vallco, that a farmer's market in the Oaks would be at least as successful if not more so than the Vallco market due to the enormous walkability of the neighborhood. I hope that we are considering moving the Vallco market, but even if it is being considered an adjunct site, I believe it has strong potential to survive and prosper, and I believe it would be a great addition to the neighborhood. With regard to cars, parking, and traffic. I believe that the apartment complex behind the Oaks is quite dependent on street side parking. I believe the complex also has sufficient parking for residents that have one, and *sometimes* 2 car families. However, in the affluency of Cupertino, many apartment dwellers are now a 3-car family, with the incredible Monte Vista and DeAnza so close, and combined with the impact of out -of -area DeAnza college attendees using Mary Avenue, the street side parking is at a premium. So while I would agree that the market may create a need for more parking, it is not from nearby residents who are simply too close to drive. This includes our family whose home is 6 houses from Garden Gate school. It seems to be then, that the apartment complex is in direct contention for street parking from those that live a bit further away, and those that take advantage of coming off the freeway. My feeling on this is that the Mary Avenue spaces are for the greater public not dedicated for the apartment complex, and concerns regarding this parking area can't be considered as a great detrimental factor against the project. With regard to traffic, though, and congestion. It would create more traffic - bike, walkers, cars - and perhaps congestion, but it's my understanding that a farmers market isn't a daily event, but a once a week event and for limited hours. The parking/congestion wouldn't be nearly as great as the monthly flea market at DeAnzy, and I think it would be well worth the impact. Thanks for taking my input!

We recently received a card announcing a proposed Farmers Market at the Cupertino Oaks Shopping Center, and asking that I send feedback to you. We think Farmers Markets are great, but only if they are really good ones. Unless this is a really good one, we would prefer to drive to the Mountain View or Sunnyvale Markets rather than walk to this one. Our criteria for really good is that much of the produce is organic, and that it be large enough to do much of our shopping there. We generally buy all organic with a few exceptions. Normally, we do most of our shopping at the Cupertino Whole Foods. The best farmers market in the south bay seems to be the Mountain View market, run by California Farmer's Markets Association ( http•//cafarmersmkts.com/markets/category/mountain- view ) The other market we sometimes go to is the Sunnyvale Market, run by Urban Village Farmer' Market Association ( http://urbanvillageonline.com/markets/sunnVvale.php ). I have never heard of the West Coast Farmer's Market Association that proposes the market at the Oaks. If what they propose will be mostly organic and will be large enough to do much of our shopping there, I would strongly support this. However, I suspect that it will not be that good, in which case, I do not support it. ]im Fonda 10153 Parkwood, Apt 3 Cupertino, CA 95014 Colin Jun From: Poonam Chhabra [poonam_chhabra@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 3:11 PM To: Colin Jung Subject: Yes for Farmers Market We fully support the Farmers' Market in our community.

Subject: Farmers' Market at the Oaks I am very much in favor of allowing a Farmers' Market at the Oaks. Some folks have been predicting a wave of traffic and crime as a result of allowing a simple Farmers' Market to be held on the site. These same people predicted a horrible surge of crime when the Oaks got a live music permit. These predictions were wrong. There will be no surge of crime and traffic because of a Farmers' Market. On the contrary, the market will be an asset to the community. If I were looking for an apartment, I would be very attracted to one that had a weekly market within walking distance. Finally, the Oaks is a privately -owned property, licensed for retail. They would like to sell organic produce two days each week. I think that merchants have a right to attract customers and to sell things. I would love to have a Farmers' Market within walking distance of my house, and I urge the planning office to approve the request for a permit.

As a member of a Cupertino church (Abundant Life on Stelling Road), I'd fully support it! While I'm not a resident of Cupertino, I've been a member of Abundant Life since I was a child, and have many friends who are Cupertino residents. I also worked at the church office for two years. Thus, I've frequented Cupertino businesses, parks, and community events for a number of years (e.g. I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare in the Park, and my husband and I had some of our wedding portraits taken at Memorial Park). Since my family and I are right around the corner on Sundays, we would definitely consider patronizing the Cupertino Farmer's Market as opposed to racing back to our local in San Jose --very convenient! And we wouldn't even have to find parking, as we could just walk from church. I realize my views are highly based on my own experience and ideals, but I think I'd be among a majority who would say that Cupertino ought to have its own market, and neighboring residents should not worry about negative traffic effects and such --most market -goers (in my experience) tend to be courteous, law-abiding people who simply enjoy real, local, fresh food. And since Cupertino is one of the original centers of fruit and vegetable production in the valley, it only seems natural that it continue that tradition with a market. Farmers markets (and the trend toward local, non-commercial food) are not showing any signs of dying off -- quite the contrary. More and more people are shunning their supermarkets in favor of local growers and producers; Cupertino, being a major city in the heart of Silicon Valley, should stay on top of this trend! I hope you and all those responsible for this decision will take such matters into consideration, and make Cupertino home to a Farmers Market soon. Thank you for your time and attention to my comments.

What part of the center would the farmer's market be held'? The proposed fanners market would be located on the western end of the shopping center, along HWY 85. 2. What would the hours of operation be, including setup and breakdown? Their proposed times are on Sundays from 8 AM to 3 PM. 3. Would there be parking for the patrons, or would they utilize the center's parking lot? I wouldn't want our customer or employee parking to become an issue Patrons would utilize the center's parkin() lot, but it will not affect parking for Jamba Juice since its located on the opposite end of the center. In order to help alleviate parking, vendors for the market would be asked to park on the street, offsite. 4. Would it be a year -long market, or seasonal? Year-lon- 5. Protecting our exclusive use is very vital. Exclusivity will be enforced. the market operator understands that we have legal obligations and will work with us to ensure that exclusive uses are not violated. 6. When would the market be ready for its first day of business The market is going through city channels for approval of operations. There is a city hearing on March 17 to discuss the proposed market and to get public feedback.

The Landlord is thinking of adding a farmer's market to the center on Sunday Mornings. Kindly review the attached letter and let us know if you have any comments or issues. Also, for your piece of mind, we've already informed the Market Operator that if the market is approved, they may not have vendors that directly compete with our existing tenants. 2-119 Thanks, Homeland Management Group, Inc. 14550 Oak Street Saratoga, CA 95070 408-867-7490 (p) 408-867-7982 (f) 2-120 Colin Jung From: all [alparsano@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 4:11 PM To: Gary Chao Cc: Colin Jung Subject: email from blue light cinema regarding Farmer's market Design development & management Residential, Commercial Alpanno Inc1Alparsa & Associates Assoc.

We feel that this will help increase awareness of the shopping center, increase foot traffic and hopefully help increase our tenants' businesses. You should know that we are not gaining anything financially and we're doing this to help our tenants. Also, I know Al has already forwarded a number of responses from our tenants but I wasn't sure if he forwarded the response from Hobees. Please see the email below.
