Local Water Heater & Plumbing Permits – Cupertino, CA

Water Heater Codes Currently Enforced in Cupertino

Approved Location – Regulations state that most water heaters cannot be located in areas such as closets, bathrooms or bedrooms (unless it’s used exclusively for the water heater). This prevents accidents as well as human contact with slight amounts of CO (Carbon Monoxide) that escapes from gas heater vents. Cupertino enforces this regulation.

Earthquake Straps – Water heaters require certified earthquake straps on the bottom and top thirds of your water heater. Cupertino enforces this regulation for your safety.

Venting – Since Carbon Monoxide(CO) is produced by Gas combustion water heaters they require proper venting. The size of the water heater determines the size of the vent. If the vent material gets hot there must be good clearance from flammable or combustible areas. This requirement is enforced by inspectors.

Pans and Drains – If your water heater is positioned in an interior location or on a built in platform damage could occur from leakage. The CA Plumbing Code requires a pan under the water heater with a drain line to the exterior. Cupertino enforces this requirement. However, CPVC, which is an approved material for all kinds of drain lines (and less expensive than copper) is not allowed to be used. 

Pressure and Temperature Relief Drain (“P&T Drain”) to the Exterior – To prevent accidental scalding while the P&T drain is discharging, the CA Plumbing Code requires your P&T relief to be run to the exterior. Inspectors currently enforce this. In cases where piping to the exterior is not possible, Cupertino will not allow the use of a Watts 210 valve as a substitute to draining to the exterior.

Dedicated Water Shutoff – If your water heater needs servicing a dedicated water shutoff allows you to turn the water to the water heater off without having to turn off the water to the rest of the house. This code item is actively enforced in Cupertino.

Pipe Insulation – Pipes located in unconditioned space are required to be insulated in Cupertino.

Bonding – Your gas and water pipes are required to be grounded by the California Electric Code. Bonding the pipes with 6 awg wire and clamps effectively grounds all the pipes. This is a requirement because plumbing is regularly built near electrical wiring. If the wires degrade, they could energize your pipes. Inspectors in Cupertino are currently requiring this.

Sediment Traps – Sediment traps are found on gas lines running to your water heater. The trap catches moisture and debris that gets into the line preventing it from entering the combustion chamber of the water heater. Currently, local inspectors enforce this.

Cupertino Union School District Student Assignment Procedure, Rules, Deadlines, Dates, Explanation, Examples, Clarification,

Starting June 10, 2019, families who are interested in having their child(ren) attend another school, may request a move where space is available or request to have their child(ren) placed on an existing wait list. The Student Assignment Office is open from 8:30 – 1:30 p.m. to support families with requests. 

Families may add their child(ren) to an existing alternative or attendance area school waitlist.  Requests may not exceed two alternative schools and two attendance area schools.  If placed through the open enrollment process, the child’s name is removed from the other alternative school lists or attendance area school lists accordingly. 

•    Ex. 1:  A child is waiting to get into Faria and Portal. The family accepts a spot at Portal. The child’s name is removed from the Faria list.
•    Ex. 2: A child is waiting to get into Regnart and Muir.  The family accepts a spot at Muir.  The child’s name is removed from the Regnart list.
•    Ex. 3:  A child is waiting to get into Faria, Portal, Dilworth, and Muir. The family accepts a spot at Muir. The child is removed from the Dilworth list but will remain on the Faria and Portal lists.  If the family accepts an offer at Portal, then the child is removed from the Faria list.

Note:  If a student is withdrawn from CUSD for any reason, the school choice agreement will become void.

Attendance Area School:   Families that would like their child(ren) to return to the family’s attendance area school may make this request at any time. If there is space, we will work with the schools to support this transfer through a Request for Transfer. If there is no space, the student will be considered “overflow” and will be placed at his/her attendance area school before an open enrollment student when space becomes available.

If my realtor is advising me to list my home $15,000 below market to try to create a bidding war, is this a sound strategy? Won’t this hurt the home’s marketability if the plan does not work?

With all due respect to the others who answered who are not REALTORs and don’t have any hard data to back up their claims, here is my proof, with data. Take a look at the sales on San Luis Way in Morgan Hill. All of these sales are of the IDENTICAL FLOOR PLAN at around the SAME TIME PERIOD.

16766 San Luis Way, Morgan Hill 95037 asked for $715,000 and they got $715,000.

16772 San Luis Way, Morgan Hill 95037 asked for $699,000 and they got $720,000.

16756 San Luis Way, Morgan Hill 95037 asked for $698,888 and we got $735,000.

That last one listed is MY LISTING which got a RECORD PRICE. I advised my client to list low, so that he could get multiple offers. He was in a rush to sell because he was already in contract to purchase a house.

Also, prices in Silicon Valley hit a peak earlier in 2018 and have been declining since then. Therefore, getting his place sold quickly was in my CLIENT’S BEST INTEREST. (Also, please note that even in a declining market, I got the highest price for my seller.)

Don’t assume that pricing it low is for the REALTOR’s good. No, it was for MY CLIENT’S GOOD.

I would have had no problem taking longer to sell, having my yard sign up there longer to get more advertising. In actuality, because I sold quickly I got LESS PUBLICITY for it, so indeed it was in my CLIENT’S BEST INTEREST to sell quickly, not mine.

When you price it low, you QUICKLY get everyone’s best offer on the table and you don’t have to play any games.

Also, despite what other may tell you, even if the strategy did not work, the seller is in no way obligated to sell. I told my client, we price it low to quickly see what we can get. If you don’t get what you want, we take it back off the market, you pull my sign off, and we both quickly go back to living our lives with the least amount of interruption.

As I said in a previous post, you can’t stereotype all REALTORs as being the same. Some of us actually do what’s in the CLIENT’S BEST INTEREST.

MEASURE CC - THANK YOU TO THE FUHSD COMMUNITY

MEASURE CC

THANK YOU TO THE FUHSD COMMUNITY

Thank you to the FUHSD community for their support and passage of Measure CC. We are so grateful to the many members of our community who volunteered their time for this effort.
 
The funds from Measure CC will provide us with a secure and stable source of revenue that will allow us to tackle many of our school facility modernization needs. Our five campuses are each 50 years old, and Fremont High School is fast approaching the 100 year mark. We have approximately 400 classrooms that are in desperate need of modernization. Work planned for Measure CC funds will include replacement of heating and cooling systems, new roofing and floors, LED lighting, new technology and furniture. We are going to continue our practice of using bond funds to make our buildings more energy efficient in order to save on general fund operating expenses.
 
More information and a list of possible projects for each of our five campuses can be found on this page. Over the course of the next several months, we will be solidifying our project list for the Measure CC funds and working with our principals to gather input from staff, students and families on our proposed projects. We look forward to working with all stakeholder groups to ensure the best use of the bond funds for our students.
 
Thank you again for your support of our students, staff and schools.

MEASURE CC INFORMATION

In July 2018, the Board of Trustees approved placing Measure CC, a $275 million school bond, on the ballot in November. Measure CC would allow FUHSD to continue the work started under Measures B and K to build classrooms and modernize facilities at all five high school campuses, which are each at least 50 years old. Between Measures B and K, we were able to build 127 new classrooms district-wide. The continuation of this modernization process under Measure CC would include necessary upgrades to infrastructure and would touch the remaining 400 classrooms that have not yet been updated at Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook and Monta Vista high schools so that all students and teachers have updated and modern classrooms and facilities. All voters in the Fremont Union High School District will be asked to vote on Measure CC on the November 6, 2018 ballot.

Modernization in each classroom would include new Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, LED lighting replacement and ceiling tiles, fire alarms and sprinklers, a technology refresh, new furniture, painting and patching, roofing and flooring. 

Measure CC would provide strict accountability, with all funds audited annually and reviewed by an independent citizens’ oversight committee. The average yearly cost to property owners in the District would be a maximum of $16 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value). FUHSD is proud to have the highest possible credit rating for a school district from both Standard and Poor’s (Aaa) and Moody’s (AAA). This has allowed the District to refinance bonds at favorable rates and save taxpayer money. 

In addition to the local support from property owners, FUHSD has leveraged other recent bonds to receive a total of 11.6 million additional dollars ($2.2 million from Prop 39, which greatly improves our energy savings, $9.1 in OPSC funding from the state bond issue, and $300,000 from a state tire grant). We have applied for additional dollars from a state Career and Technical Education grant to support the Homestead High School Innovation Hub, which is currently under construction. 

Future needs at each site that could potentially be funded by Measure CC include the following:
