.01 TM-2006-07 Scott Kelly CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM Application: TM-2006-07, EA-2006-08 Agenda Date: Applicant: Scott Kelly Property Owner: Charles Varian Trust Property Location: 10114 Crescent Court Application Summary: Tentative Map to subdivide a 2.4 acre parcel into five parcels ranging from 10,254 sq. ft. to 13,176 sq. ft. and a remainder parcel equaling 37,073 sq. ft. to be dedicated to the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The parcel is located in a RI-I0 zoning district August 8, 2006 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the tentative map, file number TM-2006-07 and EA-2006-08, in accordance with the model resolution. Project Data: General Plan Designation: Zoning Designation: Acreage (gross): Density: Residential Low 1-5 DU I Gross Acre RI-I0 104,974 sq. ft. 3.21 dul gr. acre Project Consistency with: General Plan: Zoning: Yes Yes Mitigated Negative Declaration Environmental Assessment: BACKGROUND: On July 11, 2006, the Planning Commission heard the item and directed staff to gather more information and resolve the following. ~ Public street vs. private street ~ Pavers vs. asphalt with percolation trenches ~ Arborist review ~ Geotechnicalreview ~ Retaining wall height. DISCUSSION: Public Vs. Private Street The street for the subdivision is proposed to be private because a sub-standard 20-foot private street serves the subject property and the subdivision street is also proposed to be sub-standard. The sub-standard 20-foot private street on Crescent Court is shown in Exhibit A. The existing sub-standard right-of-way used to be an easement that the subject property owners had from the property owner immediately to the north of the subject property at 10106 Crescent Court. When the property owner to the north developed their property, they dedicated 20 feet along the eastern edge of their property for a 20-foot public right-of-way that would service the subject property. I -I TM-2006-07 Page 2 August 8, 2006 Some of the commissioners expressed a desire to expand this portion of the existing right of way and the new 20-foot stretch of roadway proposed as part of the project to a standard size street by taking land from Varian Park. Since the City's right of way includes travel and parking lanes and easements for the utilities that, per the City standards, should be outside the travel lanes, the minimum width of the right-of-way would be 38 or 40 feet. This would mean taking between 18 and 20 feet from the existing park. Another option would be for the City to accept the sub-standard right-of-way as a public street, to be publicly owned and maintained. The Public Works Department does not want to set a precedent of accepting sub-standard streets for future applicants. Please note that though the street shall be a private street for maintenance purposes, a public access easement is to be recorded to allow the public access on the street. Pavers vs. Asphalt with percolation trench The applicant is proposing the construction of percolation trenches under the street in lieu of pavers. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to construct bio-swales on the residential lots. These trenches and swales will filter and help ground water percolate into the ground. There will be an overflow control measure so that water does not back onto the streets if the percolation trench becomes over saturated. The Public Works Department has reviewed this design proposal and they are in support of it. Modifications have been made to the model resolution to reflect this change. Tree Removal Some of the commissioners were also concerned about three oaks (tree #4, 5 and 26) that are proposed for removal with this subdivision. Staff is proposing the protection of these three trees. The City's Arborist has prepared a tree report on these trees and he recommends the removal of trees #4 and #5 and replacement per his recommendations. A survey was conducted by the applicant's civil engineer to determine the location of several of the trees that were not shown on the original tentative map plans submitted to the Planning Department. The survey indicated that the arborist incorrectly showed the location of trees # 7 (oak), #8 (oak), #14 (oak), #26 (oak) and #27 (California Pepper). Since the trees were not shown on a plan, the arborist estimated the location of the trees to prepare a comprehensive report. The survey shows that trees #7, #8 and #14 are located on the periphery of the building pads of Lots 1 and 2. Staff believes that it is possible to design houses around these trees and recommends retention of these three trees. If homes cannot be designed around these trees, based on the arborist's recommendations (Exhibit C), staff recommends that these trees be relocated. Since the trees do not affect the subdivision, staff recommends that the trees be saved for now and the decision to relocate the trees be made at the discretion of the Director of Community Development, when building plans are presented. l"'~ TM-2006-07 Page 3 August 8, 2006 Trees #26 & #27 are within the building pad of Lot 4. Since the two trees are very close to one another, both trees cannot be transplanted. The arborist recommends that #26, an oak tree, is an excellent candidate for transplantation. Staff's position is that this tree be transplanted to lot 5, the precise location subject to the approval of the Director of Community Development when building plans are presented. Geotechnical Review The applicant and staff agree that the Geotechnical report recommends a setback of 25 feet from top of the cliff on lots 4 and 5 for all primary and accessory structures. Such structures may encroach into this setback subject to geotechnical review of the mitigation measures incorporated into the design. Staff recommends that a slope easement be recorded for lots 4 & 5, prohibiting principal structures, accessory structures, including porches, including guesthouses, detached garages and swimming pools within 25 feet from the top of the cliff, unless measures to stabilize the cliff are incorporated into the design and construction. However, the applicant is concerned about the negative connotation of the term "easement" and wants the language incorporated into the CC&R's instead. Staff, however, prefers an easement so that the property owner and anyone receiving development proposals can readily determine this restriction. A slope easement has been used in several subdivisions within the city. Retaining Wall Height The applicant initially proposed a four-foot retaining wall on the plans at the bend in the street. However, staff felt that this was a safety hazard and would intrude in the 40- foot vision triangle that is required to make a safe turn. Staff and the applicant have determined that it is possible to engineer a retaining wall limited to three feet in height from the curb level thereby leaving the 40-foot sight triangle clear of obstruction. This has been indicated on the plans. Staff additionally recommends that since the retaining wall is going to be three feet in height, which is the maximum height allowed in the sight triangle, a requirement be recorded in the CC&R's indicating that no landscaping other than a lawn is permitted within the 40-foot sight triangle.

I prepared an Arborist's Report, dated on April 13, 2006, for this site. Observations As I stated in the Arborist's Report, Trees # 4 and 5 are stump sprout specimens. This occurs when the original trunk is destroyed or removed and the tree has sufficient stored carbohydrates to produce new sprouts at the stump. Bear in mind that these new sprouts emerge from buds that are attached to the outer layer of wood just under the bark. This means that these sprouts (called stump sprouts) will always be very weak and highly prone to breaking apart at the stump. This weakness does not improve as these trees mature. In fact, the more dense the canopies become, the more weight must be supported, and the more likely these watersprout stems will split apart. In the event that Tree # 5 is preserved, approximately 40%-50% of its canopy would have to be removed in order to construct the new residence on Lot 1. Very few trees are able to survive this quantity of canopy loss, because it represents a major reduction in photosynthesis production required for survival. The ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) suggests that no more than 25% of the foliage be removed during a single prumng. . It appears that Tree # 4 could lose approximately 30..40% of its canopy for the same reason. This also would be classified as severe canopy loss. In the event that either Tree # 4 or # 5 would survive the canopy loss, the new growth in the surviving stump sprout stems would result in greater likelihood of their failure. Stump sprout specimens are not considered worthwhile candidates for transplanting because of the high risk of splitting apart during transplant. Tree # 26 is located in conflict with the footing of the new residence on Lot 4. For Tree # 26 to survive, the building would have to be redesigned to accommodate the following: 1. The footing would have to be a minimum distance of 6 feet from the trunk. 2. The canopy loss must be limited to approximately 10%-!5% of the canopy. This quantity is recommended because some root loss would also be expected. The expectation of survival must involve both root loss and canopy loss together, because they are not independent, unrelated events. As an alternative, Tree # 26 may be considered as a possible candidate for transplanting. Prepared by: Michael L.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT Arborists are tree speciaJists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice. Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail In ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a speCified p~riod of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like medicine, cannot be guaranteed. Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees. ciJf!!r!Ue JJ. ~ Barrie D.

This is in response to your request for an opinion regarding the risk of transplanting Trees # 7, 8,9, 10, II, 12, 14, and 26. All of these are coast live oak (Quercus agrifo/ia), a species that typically transplants very well if adequately irrigated and the root balls are large enough. Trees # 9, 10, II, and 12 have been topped between 8-10 feet above grade. For this reason, the structures of these trees are relatively poor and will not significantly improve. Topping is a very destructive procedure that permanently makes a trees structure weak and prone to breakage. Although all four of these would ordinarily make good candidates for transplanting due to their small size and excellent health, I reconunend that these be replaced as a preferred alternative to transplanting. Trees # 7,8 14 and 26 are in excellent health, a primary criteria for transplanting. Trees # 7, 14, and 26 are small specimens and would be excellent candidates for transplanting. especially with a 90" tree spade. Tree # 8 has a trunk diameter of 10 inches, which is usually borderline for transplanting with a tree spade. The final decision would have to be made by an experienced tree mover.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge. training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist. or to seek additional advice. Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like medicine, cannot be guaranteed. Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees. dJahkZe ~ ~ Barrie D. Coate ISA Certified Arborist Horti cu Itura I Consu Ita nt 1-16 CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM Application: Applicant: Property Owner: Property Location: TM-2006-07, EA-2006-08 Scott Kelly Charles Varian Trust 10114 Crescent Court Agenda Date: July 11, 2006 Application Summary: Tentative Map to subdivide a 2.4 acre parcel into five parcels ranging from 10,254 sq. ft. to 13,176 sq. ft. and a remainder parcel equaling 37,073 sq. ft. to be dedicated to the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The parcel is located in a R1-10 zoning district RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the tentative map, file number TM-2006-07 and EA-2006-08, in accordance with the model resolution. Project Data: General Plan Designation: Zoning Designation: Acreage (gross): Density: Residential Low 1-5 DU/Gross Acre R1-10 104,974 sq. ft. 3.21 du/ gr. acre Environmental Assessment: Yes Yes Mitigated Negative Declaration Project Consistency with: General Plan: Zoning: BACKGROUND: The project is located on 10114 Crescent Court and is surrounded by single-family residential uses to the west and south, by the 6.3 acre Varian Park to the north and by Stevens Creek to the east. Currently the site is developed with one single-family residence (see Exhibit A). The home is not considered historic nor is it listed on the City's General Plan Historic Resources List. The home was constructed in 1951 based on the County's database. The residence will be demolished as part of the final map process. DISCUSSION: Site Analysis The project is located in an R1-10 zoning district with a minimum lot size requirement of 10,000 square feet. The proposed lots range from 10,254 to 13,176 square feet and conform to the minimum lot widths (measured at the front setback line) of 60 feet. The residential density at 3.21 d.u'; gross acre is also consistent with the general plan land use designation (Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU / gr. Acre). At this time, the applicant has not submitted architectural and site plans for the future homes proposed on the lots. However, setback lines have been provided on the map to conceptually show development envelopes in which the future homes could be constructed. I ,-) q TM-2006-07 Page 2 July 11, 2006 The applicant is also making an irrevocable offer of dedication of 37,073 square feet along the creek to either the Santa Gara Valley Water District or the City of Cupertino. The Water District occasionally uses an existing unfinished walkable/ drivable path that leads down to the creek for access to conduct maintenance. This dedication is contingent upon the City of Cupertino and the Santa Clara Valley Water District signing a joint use agreement for allowing the future option to use the land for recreational purposes. In the event the two agencies cannot reach an agreement, the dedication of land will revert to the City of Cupertino. This dedication is in conformance with the City's General Plan's Environmental ResourcesjSustainability Element's Goal of "Protection of Special Areas of Natural Vegetation and Wildlife Habitation as Integral Parts of the Sustainable Environment." Policy 5-9: Development Near Sensitive Areas Encourage the clustering of new development away from sensitive areas such as riparian corridors, wildlife habitat and corridors, public open space preserves and ridgelines. New developments in these areas must have harmonious' landscaping plans approved prior to development. Policy 5-11: Natural Area Protection Preserve and enhance the existing natural vegetation, landscape features and open space when new development is proposed. Policy 5-14: Recreation and Wildlife Trails Provide open space linkages within and between properties for both recreational . and wildlife activities, most specifically for the benefit of wildlife that is threatened, endangered or designated as species of special concern. Storm water runoff from the subdivision shall be collected in a new storm water system and conveyed to the existing public storm drainage facilities. No additional drainage shall occur toward the creek thus preserving the existing natural vegetation and landscape features. Private Road Access to the project is by a 22-foot wide private roadway widening to a 28-foot wide roadway (cul-de-sac) from a roadway easement off of Crescent Court. A 28-foot private road provides sufficient room for two 11-foot travel lanes and a six-foot parking lane on the side of the street. "No Parking" signs shall also be posted on the 22-foot wide portions of the private roadway so that the fire lane is kept clear. Staff recommends that the private road be paved with semi-pervious stone pavers or similar interlocking pavers to enhance the storm water quality of the project and to also help preserve the root systems of existing mature trees. This is consistent with other . subdivisions that have been approved in single-family neighborhoods. Examples are TM-2004-05, the three lot subdivision on Greenleaf Drive on the CA Water Service property, TM-2004-09, the five lot subdivision on South Stelling Road and more recently a four lot subdivision on Alcazar Avenue, TM-2005-13. I' 2=' TM-2006-07 Page 3 July 11, 2006 Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R) and a private road maintenance agreement shall be submitted to the City for review and approval ensuring that the individual property owners will properly maintain the roadway and" the streetlights. The CC&R will also record a public access easement on the private roadways. Tree Removal The City's Arborist prepared a tree report on the portions of the site that are to be developed (Exhibit B). The report identified 31 trees on-site and 8 trees off-site (identified as # 21, 22 and 34 on Exhibit B). A total of 19 trees are proposed for removal as part of this project (Exhibit C). Out of these trees, ten are coast live oaks of which two trees are considered specimen size (Tree # 4 & 5). Most of the trees removed are either located in the roadway, in building pads, are in poor health, or removal is necessary to keep other trees healthy. The applicant is proposing the removal of the two specimen sized trees on Lot 1 since there are several oak trees in the future rear yard overcrowding the more mature oaks. Staff, with direction from the Environmental Review Committee, recommends that either one or both of the two specimen sized trees be saved if it is possible to prune the oaks without irreparable damage. Staff also recommends that trees #14 and #26, both coast live oaks, be retained as protected trees since they do not interfere with roadways or building pads and are in good health. The City's Consultant Arborist has prepared a report to determine the replacement strategy for the tree removal proposed (Exhibit C). He has provided the replacement value of each of the trees and the average cost of planting different sizes of oak trees. Staff recommends that 60-inch box oak trees be planted in high visibility areas to replace the value of trees being removed. In addition, staff will determine the location of the new oaks being planted prior to the recordation of final map. Geotechnical Review A Geotechnical Report has been prepared for the project by Murray Engineers Inc. The City's Consultant Geologist has reviewed this report and concurs with the findings and recommendations in the report (Exhibit D). The Geologists agree that the cliff is stable and recommend that the buildings and associated improvements on lots 4 and 5 (the two lots closest to the cliff) be set back 25 feet from the top of the cliff and that the residence on lot 5 be supported on drilled piers. Staff recommends that a slope easement be recorded for lots 4 & 5, prohibiting accessory structures, including porches, including guesthouses, detached garages and swimming pools within 25 feet from the top of the cliff, unless measures to stabilize the cliff are incorporated into the design and construction. The applicant is required to record the condition that the residence on lot 5 shall be supported on drilled piers in the CC&R's for the subdivision. Additionally, two conditions with regard to the Geotechnical requirements need to be recorded in the CC&R's. The conditions require a Geotechnical Plan Review and a Geotechnical Field 1':Ll TM-2006-07 Page 4 July 11, 2006 Inspection prior to the issuance of building permits as recommended by the City's Geologist.

The plan provided for this evaluation is the Tentative Tract Map prepared by Nelsen Engineering, Sheet 1, dated March 2006. Summary A total of 39 trees are included in this inventory. Of these 39 trees, 31 are located on this property, and 8 are located on adjacent properties. All of the 38 trees are identified and given condition ratings. Some trees and/or circumstances concerning them are briefly described here. Of the total 39 trees, Trees # 1,3,4,5,8, 13, 18,20,24,29,30, and 34 are protected by city regulation. Of these 12 protected trees, Trees # 4, 5, 8, 18, and 24 are proposed to be removed by the current plan. Procedures are recommended here to help preserve those "Specimen Trees" planned to be retained in their present locations. Observations There are 39 trees included in this tree survey. Trees # 1-20 and # 23-33 are located on this site. Tree # 21 (representing 3 specimens), Tree # 22 (representing 4 specimens), and Tree # 34 are located on neighboring properties. These neighboring trees are located near the property boundary and may be exposed to damage by trenching, excavation, or soil compaction. For this reason, these neighboring trees are included. The attached map shows the locations of all 39 trees and their approximate canopy dimensions. Numbered metal labels have been affixed to only the trees that are located on this property for field reference. No labels were affixed to the trees on neighboring properties. The 39 trees are classified as follows: Trees # 1-5, 7-14, 18,20,24,26,28,29,30,34 - Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) Tree # 6 - Acacia (Acacia species) Tree # 15 - Avocado (Persea Americana) Trees # 16, 17 - Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens glauca) Tree # 19 - Silk tree (Albiziajulibrissin) Tree # 21 - Juniper species (Juniperus species), representing 3 topiary trees Tree # 22 - Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), representing 4 essentially identical specimens Tree # 23 - Coast redwood (Sequoia semPervirens) Tree # 25 - Carolina Laurel Cherry (Prunus caroliniana) Tree # 27 - California pepper (Shinus molle) Tree # 31 - Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus species) Tree # 32 - Bailey's Acacia (Acacia baileyana) Tree # 33 - Bronze loquat (Eriobotrya dej/exa) Prepared by: Michael L. Bench, Consulting Arborist April 13th, 2006 I r J.fo EVALUATION OF TREES AT KELLY GORDON DEVELOPMENT, 10114 CRESCENT COURT, CUPERTINO 3 The particulars about these 39 trees (species, trunk diameter, height, spread, and structure) are included in the attachments that follow this text. In addition to these 39 trees, there are also approximately 25 fruit trees of low quality primarily on the Lots # 1,2, and 3. There are also numerous trees located on the steep slope toward the south side of Lots # 4 and 5. None of these trees are included in this survey. The health and structure of each specimen is rated on a scale of 1-5 (Excellent - Extremely poor) on the data sheets attached to this text. Based on these health and structure ratings combined, I have given each tree an overall condition rating as follows: Excellent S cimens 1,3, 7, 14, 16;17,20, 21,22,28, 29,33 Good S cimens 2, 8, 13, 23, 26 27, 30, 34 Fair S cimens 4,5,6,9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 25,31 Poor S ecimens 24, 32, Extremely Poor S cimens 15, 19 Methods The trunk measurements of the existing trees are taken using a standard measuring tape at 4 ~ feet above soil grade. This is referred to as DBH (Diameter at Breast Height). The height and canopy spread of each tree is estimated using visual references only. The estimated shape of the canopy relative to the other nearby trees has been added to the attached map. Comments about Specific Trees Trees # 4, 5, and 18, all coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia), are stump sprout specimens. This means that the original leader had been damaged or removed. The new leaders, usually several, growing from the stump are poorly attached and highly prone to splitting out. This poor structural condition does not significantly improve as the tree matures. Trees # 9, 10, 11, and 12, all coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia), have been 'iopped". As a result, they will always have weak: branching structures where the topping had occurred. Tree # 19, a Silk tree (Albiziajulibrissin), is actively splitting in half. I suggest this tree be removed regardless of construction. Tree # 23, a coast redwood (S. sempervirens) has a wire tied around one leader to support the existing wood fence. This wire is girdling the leader and should be removed. Another method would have to be used to support the fence. Tree # 24, a coast live oak: (Q. agrifolia) has grown through an existing chain link fence. The interlocking wire goes completely through the trunk at about 4 feet above grade. This often results in a weak: trunk structure. Prepared by: Michael L. Bench, Consulting Arborist April 13th, 2006 j --J 1 EVALUATION OF lREES AT KELLY GORDON DEVELOPMENT, 10114 CRESCENT COURT, CUPERTINO 4 Protected Trees The City of Cupertino (Chapter 14.18 ) " finds that the preservation of specimen and heritage trees on private and public property, and the protection of all trees during construction, is necessary for the best interests of the City and of the citizens and the public thereof." The City "finds it is in the public interest to enact regulations controlling the care and removal of specimen and heritage trees..." A "Heritage Tree" means "any tree or grove of trees which, because of factors, but not limited to, its historic value, unique quality, girth, height or species, has been found by the Architectural and Site Approval Committee to have a special significance to the community." A "Specimen tree" means any of the following: Species Measurement from Single Trunk Multi-Trunk Natural Grade Diameter/Circumference Diameter/Circumference Oak trees; 4 Y2 feet 10 inches (31 inches C) 20 inches D (63 inches C) California Buckeve Big Leaf 4 Y2 feet 12 inches (38 inches C ) 25 inches D (79 inches C) Maple; Deodar Cedar; Blue Atlas Cedar The "Specimen Trees" at this site are: Trees # 1,3,4,5,8, 13, 18,20,24,29,30, and 34. Should construction occur as proposed, the following "Specimen Trees" would be removed: Trees # 4,5, 8, 18, and 24. Risks to Trees by Proposed Construction The management of materials and equipment, often as part of the staging area(s), commonly poses a risk to existing trees. Protective fencing is the primary defense for existing trees. Prevention is key to tree protection, because repair or remediation is usually ineffective. The trees at this site would likely be at risk of damage by construction or construction procedures that are common to most construction sites. These procedures may include the dumping or the stockpiling of materials over root systems, may include the trenching across the root zones for utilities or for landscape irrigation, or may include construction traffic across the root system resulting in soil compaction and root die back. If underground utilities are installed, it would be essential that the location of the trenches must be planned prior to construction, and that the trenches be located at the exact locations . . as shown on the proposed plans. Currently chain link fencing is in place protecting coast live oak Tree # 34. Should this fence or a portion of this fence be removed for construction of the new roadway, Tree # 34 may be exposed to risk of damage on its west side. Prepared by: Michael L. Bench, Consulting Arbonst April 13th, 2006 / --;lB EVALUATION OF 1REES AT KELLY GORDON DEVELOPMENT. 10114 CRESCENT COURT. CUPERTINO 5 Also, there is an open space on the east side of the existing driveway across from Trees # 6 and 7. Should this be used as a staging area, Tree # 34 may also be as risk of materials and equipment parke4 or piled inside its dripline, if the existing fence were removed. Although Trees # 2 I (representing 3 topiary junipers) and # 22 (representing 4 Italian cypress trees) are not protected by the city ordinance, it is likely that these trees are important to the neighbor. If grading were to occur to the west side property boundary, these 7 trees may suffer serious root damage. If grading were to be a minimum of 6 feet from the west side property boundary, these 7 trees should not be damaged. Recommendations 1. I recommend that protective fencing be provided during the construction period to protect those trees that are to be preserved This fencing must protect a sufficient portion of the root zone to be effective. The recommended locations of protective fencing are provided on the attached map. Occasionally it may be essential to have a certified arborist make decisions about the location(s) of protective fencing at the project site. I recommend that protective fencing must: . Consist of chain link fencing and having a minimum height of 6 feet. . Be mounted on steel posts driven approxnnately 2 feet into the soil. . Fencing posts must be located no further than 10 feet apart. . Protective fencing must be installed prior to the arrival of materials, vehicles, or equipment. . Protective fencing must not be moved, even temporarily, and must remain in place until all construction is completed 2. There must be no grading, trenching, or surface scraping inside the driplines of protected trees, unless specifically described in another section of this report. I recommend that there be no grading within 6 feet of the west side property boundary in relation to Trees # 21 and 22. 3. Trenches for any utilities (gas, electricity, water, phone, TV cable, etc.) must be located outside the driplines of protected trees, unless approved by a certified arborist. 4. If Trees # 16 and 23 are preserved, they must be irrigated throughout the entire construction period during the dry months (any month receiving less than I inch of rainfall). Irrigate a minimum of 10 gallons for each inch of trunk diameter every two weeks. A soaker hose or a drip line is preferred for this purpose. - 5. Materials must not be stored, stockpiled, dumped, or buried inside the driplines of protected trees. 6. Excavated soil must not be piled or dumped, even temporarily, inside the driplines of protected trees. 7. Any pruning must be done by an arborist certified by the ISA (International Society Prepared by: Michael L. Bench, Consulting Arborist April 13th, 2006 I ~tt EVALUATION OF TREES AT KELLY GORDON DEVELOPMENT. 10114 CRESCENT COURT, CUPERTINO 6 of Arboriculture) and according to ISA, Western Chapter Standards, 1998. 8. Any pathways or other hardscape inside the driplines of protected trees must be constructed completely on top of the existing soil grade without excavation. Fill soil may be added to the edge of finished hardscape for a maximum distance of approximately 2 feet from the edges to integrate the new hardscape to the natural grade. 9. The sprinkler irrigation must not be designed to strike the trunks of trees. 10. Landscape irrigation trenches must be a minimum distance of 10 times the trunk' diameter from the trunks of protected trees. 11. Landscape materials (cobbles, decorative bark, stones, fencing, etc.) must not be installed directly in contact with the bark of trees because of the risk of serious disease infection. 12. The plants that are planted inside the driplines of oak trees must be of species that are compatible with the environmental and cultural requirements of oaks trees. A publication about plants compatible with California native oaks can be obtained from the California Oak Foundation, 1212 Broadway, Suite 810, Oakland, 94612. Respec '"""'- Michael L.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice. Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like medicine, cannot be guaranteed. Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees. oJaNUe ~ {b-ttZ; Barrie D. Coate ISA Certified Arborist Horticultural Consultant 1~3b EXHIBIT C Assignment I have been asked by Piu Gosh, Planner, City of Cupertino, to provide a replacement strategy for the trees that would be removed at the Kelley-Gordon Development Project, 10114 Crescent Court, Cupertino. The trees planned to be removed, for which a replacement strategy is requested, are Trees # 4,5,6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19,24,25,26,27,31,32, and 33. Replacement Strategy It has been our practice to recommend replacements based on the appraised value of the trees planned to be removed. The values of the trees for this project are addressed according to ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards, 9th Edition, Trunk formula method. The trunk formula method is based on an individual tree's trunk diameter (or diameters in the case of multi-stem specimens), but includes adjustments for the following elements: . Species performance in this climate area . The species rate of growth (this is related to growth rates of nursery stock and the cost to produce them; the cost per square inch of trunk diameter addresses the fact that slower growing plants are more costly to produce) . The tree's overall current condition . The tree's location (this factors in an impression ofthe general condition of the area, the contribution that this tree has provided to the site, and the importance of that contribution relative to other specimens on site) Using the trunk formula method as designed by the ISA, I have applied it to the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program in order to complete the calculations. By this process, the appraised values are as follows: Tree # 4 - Coast live oak- Tree # 5 - Coast live oak- Tree # 6 - Acacia species - Tree # 7 - Coast live oak - Tree # 9 - Coast live oak - Tree # 10 - Coast live oak - Tree # 11 - Coast live oak - Tree # 12 - Coast live oak- Tree # 14 - Coast live oak- Tree # 15 - Persea Americana - Tree # 17 - Picea pungens 'Glauca' - Tree # 19 - Albizia julibrissin - Tree # 24 - Coast live oak- Tree # 25 -.

In terms of replacements trees, I recommend that native species nursery stock specimens be used, such as coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). I suggest any combination of the following sizes approximately equal to the above total value: boxed specimen - average cost planted 24 inch box - $ 375 36 inch box - $ 1000 48 inch box - $ 2125 54 inch box - $ 2650 60 inch box - $ 3500 72 inch box - # 10, 000 Respectfully submitted, MLB/BDC , ... 38 ~ COTTON, SHIRES & ASSOCIATES, INC. ... CONSULTING ENGINEERS AND GEOLOGISTS RECEIVED JUN 2 3 2006 June 21, 2006 C0036A TO: Ciddy Wordell Cupertino City Planner CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, California 95014 EXHIBIT D SUBJECT: RE: Supplemental Geologic and Geotechnical Peer Review Kelly, Proposed Subdivision 10114 Crescent Court At your request, we have completed a supplemental geologic and geotechnical peer review of the subject application for a proposed subdivision using the following documents: . Geotechnical Investigation (report) prepared by Murray Engineers, Inc., dated June 13, 2006. In addition to our review of the above referenced documents, we have reviewed pertinent technical data from our office files and have had discussions with the Project Geotechnical Engineer. DISCUSSION The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing property into 6 parcels. We understand that one parcel will be donated to the Santa Clara Valley Water District and the remaining 5 are proposed for future residential development. A new extension from the east end of Crescent Court would be constructed for access to the parcels. An existing residence will be demolished to accommodate the subdivision. An existing unimproved access road to Stevens Creek would become part of Water District property. Portions of the property are within State defined Earthquake Induced Landslide and Liquefaction Zones. It is our understanding that sanitary sewer effluent of future proposed residences would be piped to the sanitary sewer pipeline in Crescent Court. In our previous review report, dated April 12, 2006, we recommended that an engineering geologic investigation be performed to address the long-term stability of the terrace embankment on Lots 4 and 5, characterize the site seismic setting, and provide appropriate geologic recommendations for residential development. In addition, we recommended that supplemental geotechnical engineering recommendations be provided. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION Based . upon our review of the referenced document, it appears that Murray Engineers, Inc.

MEI has performed a geologic and geotechnical investigation of the site, including the excavation of two additional exploratory boreholes, and has performed analyses of the potential for geologic hazards to adversely impact the proposed lots. They conclude that the steep embankment of Stevens Creek has the potential to constrain development on portions of Lots 4 and 5, but if appropriate setbacks are incorporated, and pier-supported foundations are utilized where recommended, then the site is suitable for the proposed subdivision. Based upon our review of the slope stability analysis performed on the steep embankment adjacent to Lot 4, it appears that MEI has utilized regional shear strength data tabulated for the Cupertino Quadrangle by the California Geologic Survey. It is our opinion that site specific data is generally more appropriate than the regional data, which is intended as more of a guideline than for site specific use. By correlating the on-site blow count data to shear strength parameters (friction angles), we have evaluated the slope stability analysis performed by MEI where regional shear strength parameters have been used, and conclude that their analysis may overestimate the factor of safety by 10 to 15 percent. Since ME!' s seismic slope stability screening analysis resulted in a factor of safety of 1.16, the 10% to 15% difference could still result in a factor of safety of greater than 1.0. Consequently, it is our opinion that MEI's recommended 25-foot setback appears justified. If it is desired to extend portions of the development into the 25-foot setback zone, then recommendations for deep, reinforced concrete piers should. be provided.' Consequently, we recommend approval of the Tentative Tract Map from a geologic and geotechnical standpoint. The following should be performed prior to building permit approval: 1. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical consultant should review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the development plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site drainage improvements and design parameters for foundations and retaining walls) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. The results of the geotechnical plan review should be summarized by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City for review and approval by the City Staff prior to approval of building permits. 2. Geotechnical Field Inspection - The geotechnical consultant should inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections should include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements and excavations for foundations and retaining walls prior to the placement of steel and concrete. The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project should be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final project approval.
