TR-2026-021

The City of Cupertino has received an application to remove a single covenant-protected 13-inch DBH Morus alba, or Fruitless White Mulberry tree, located at 1195 Yorkshire Drive. This tree was originally installed as part of DIR-2013-012 to provide privacy screening for second-story windows on the west side of the residence. Approval for removal is supported by a letter from the neighboring property owner at 1191 Yorkshire Drive, who confirms that existing vegetation—including two Arbutus unedo Strawberry trees and a Ligustrum japonicum ‘Texanum’ wax leaf privet hedge—offers adequate privacy without the need for the mulberry tree. The application is identified under reference TR-2026-021 and was posted on June 12, 2026, with primary contact Catherine Tarone, Permit Technician, reachable through the City of Cupertino’s permitting office. The project is situated in the 95014 zip code area, and no set-aside or NAICS code is associated with this administrative request.
