1.0 SUMMARY
This report presents my evaluation and review of 72 trees proposed for removal in
connection with the Main Street Cupertino development.
This report provides detailed information regarding the size and condition of trees
proposed for removal (24 on private property and 48 on public), their suitability for
preservations ratings, conclusions regarding tree disposition, and guidelines for tree
replacements.
The following items summarize my observations and recommendations, and specific
details can be referenced within the report:
■ All trees assessed in this report have been determined to not be suitable for
preservation due to their species; condition; current and future damage to public
infrastructure; and significant impacts that will result from implementing the
approved design, impacts that will endanger public safety.
■ None of the proposed removals are suitable for transplant.
• Nine of the 72 trees have already been removed, and the remaining 63 consist of
Shamel ash.
• The appropriate planting size is 24 -inch box, and in some limited locations, a 15-
gallon size tree may be needed due to site and utility constraints.
• White ash (Fraxinus americana) is preferred over Shamel ash (Fraxinus uhdei) due
to having a less aggressive and invasive root system.
■ Street trees within the center median along Stevens Creek Boulevard are being
proposed for removal at the request of the Public Works Department, for the purpose
of addressing stormwater, drainage and landscape issues.
Regarding the proposed application, when considering the inherent issues associated with
Shamel ash, overall inferior condition, and generally low suitability for preservation, it is
my professional opinion that their removal for development purposes conforms to City
Code, and replacements can improve the tree landscape for the foreseeable future, provided
guidelines for the installation process provided herein can be followed.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The City of Cupertino Community Development Department has retained me to review the
proposed removal of 72 trees from the Main Street Cupertino site, 24 of which are
regarded as private trees,' and the other 48 as public trees .2 The site is located along the
north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, framed by North Tantau Avenue to the east, Vallco
Parkway to the north, and mixed -used developments to the west.
Specific tasks assigned to perform are as follows:
■ Visit the on 3/7/14 to identify the 72 trees proposed for removal (as shown on Sheet
L -8.0, Project Frontage Tree Removal /Replacement Diagram, dated 4/11/14).
■ Utilize trunk diameters and tree /tag numbers established for prior project reviews.
■ Ascertain each tree's health and structural integrity, and assign a percentage rating
from 0- percent (dead) to 100 - percent (optimal).
■ Determine each tree's suitability for preservation (e.g. high or low).
■ Document pertinent issues related to health, structure, and /or damage to surrounding
hardscape.
• Distinguish between trees originating from private and public property.
• Identify trees that have already been removed prior to my site visit on 3/7/14.
• Evaluate the proposed landscape and utility plans.
• Review and discuss replacement strategies, installation guidelines, and the
appropriate size of replacement trees.
■ Present guidelines for mitigating removals.
■ Prepare a written report that presents the aforementioned information, and submit via
email as a PDF document.
' Private trees have trunks originating from within the property boundaries.
2 Public trees have trunks originating from within public right -of -ways and are considered street trees.

3.0 TREE COUNT AND COMPOSITION
The 72 trees presented in this report consist predominantly of Shamel ash (69 or 94% of
the total), and the others include three Autumn Purple white ash (6 %) and one Chinese elm
(4 %). The only remaining species is Shamel ash, as the other four have been removed
( 911 was removed prior to my 3/7/14 visit, and 9151 thru 153 were dead).
Of the 72 trees, 24 are classified as private trees and the other 48 as public trees. This
section presents the count, composition, and location of each classification.
Specific information regarding each tree is presented within the tables in Exhibit A
(private trees) and Exhibit B (public trees). Their approximate locations and assigned
numbers are shown on the three site maps in Exhibit C (copies of Sheets L -8.1, L -8.3 and
L -8.5).
3.1 Private Trees

As previously mentioned, tree #11 was removed at some point prior to my 3/7/14 site
visit. It was a Chinese elm with a trunk diameter of 18 inches, and its retention conflicted
with construction of the proposed western parking lot.
Three additional trees, all Shamel ash within the proposed, westernmost entry off Stevens
Creek Boulevard, were also removed prior to 3/7/14. They include #2 thru 4, and had
respective trunks diameters of 11, 10 and 18 inches. Upon my last evaluation in 2008,
trees #2 and 3 were found nearly dead, and #4 in very poor, declining condition.
3.2 Public Trees
The 48 trees are comprised of two species of ash, Shamel and Autumn Purple, and the
table below presents their counts, assigned numbers and overall percentages.

they include #31 -46, 48 -53, 55 -62, 64 -66, 68 and 69.
• One (1), #79, is along the frontage of Tantau Avenue.
• Twelve (12) are within the center median along Stevens Creek Boulevard; they
include #147 -157 and 159.
As previously mentioned, #151 thru 153 have been removed due to being dead. They
were newly installed white ash with trunk diameters of one -inch.
Two additional trees, #48 and 53 (both Shamel ash), were also removed prior to 3/7/14,
and had respective trunks diameters of 19 and 13 inches. My records indicate #48 was in
declining health, and #53 was dead.

4.0 SUITABILITY FOR TREE PRESERVATION
All remaining trees have been assigned either a "high" or "low" suitability for preservation
rating as a means to cumulatively measure their health; structural integrity; anticipated life
span; size; species; location; current damage to adjacent public infrastructure (i.e.
roadways, curb, gutter, sidewalks and utilities); impacts resulting from implementing the
approved design; installation of approved, new public infrastructure; and the probability
for mitigating existing damage to infrastructure without subjecting a tree to severe root
loss, and consequently, compromising its health and anchoring capacity to the extent of
endangering public safety.
A description of these ratings and assigned trees are presented below, categorized by
public and private; and note that the "high" category comprises none, and the "low"
category 63 (or 100 %) of the total, remaining inventoried trees (both private and public).
High: These trees appear in reasonably good health, have seemingly stable structures,
and present the potential for contributing long -term to the site without imposing an
unreasonable risk to public safety and /or damage of adjacent infrastructure.
• Private: None.
• Public: None.
Low: These trees are either dead; nearly dead; have such significantly weakened health or
structural defects that are expected to worsen regardless of tree care measures employed
(i.e. beyond recovery); have, or can be expected to, significantly damage and raise the
adjacent sidewalk, curb and gutter, etc.; and /or will sustain such severe root loss that they
will be subjected to premature decline, instability, potentially falling over, and endangering
public safety.
• Private: Trees 91 -5, 8, 70 -73, 75 -78, 81 and 84 -91.
• Public: Trees 931 -46, 48 -53, 55 -62, 64 -66, 68, 69, 79, 147 -157 and 159.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS REGARDING TREE DISPOSITION
When considering the trees' condition, low suitability for preservation, and underlying
issues related to Shamel ash,' it is my opinion that removing all remaining ash conforms to
City Code for the subject development.
None of the inventoried trees are considered viable or suitable for relocation due to their
species, health and /or structural condition. Appropriate trees that were identified for
achieving a reasonable success of relocation have already been boxed, stored, and will be
installed at a later date.
The project design, as it relates to within the site and along street frontages, was assessed to
determine whether any reasonably healthy and structurally sound trees could potentially be
retained and adequately protected (versus all other trees that should be removed regardless
due to declining, dying, dead and /or have weak structures). My review reveals that no
qualifying trees can be preserved due to inadequate space to protect sufficient root mass
during future site and public improvements.
For ash trees situated within the center median along Stevens Creek Boulevard, all are
proposed for removal to accommodate leveling the existing mound within the planter for
the purpose of capturing runoff, addressing stormwater quality concerns by Public Works,
improving the existing landscape to be consistent with newly or planned Public Works'
median landscaping projects throughout the City, and provide a more appropriate and safer
species within median strips.
s Issues include their naturally aggressive, invasive root systems, development of excessive limb and branch
weight prone to failure, and multi - leader structures that form weak attachments.

6.0 GUIDELINES FOR TREE REPLACEMENTS
The minimum amount of new trees and sizes to mitigate removals should conform to
Table A, Section 14.18.185 of the City Code, and additional trees may also be
recommended where appropriate and available planting space allows. By applying Table
A, a varying combination of replacement options can be installed to mitigate the loss of
trees, and the total amount and sizes ultimately depend on which trees and how many are
removed.
6.1 Replacement Species
Shamel ash, in general, have naturally aggressive, invasive root systems that surface above
the ground, and can damage surrounding plant material and hardscape throughout their
lifespans. The species also develops excessive limb and branch weight, and forms weak,
multi - leader structures that frequently shed branches and limbs, an occurrence that presents
an increasing threat to the safety of persons and property within striking distance.
Due to these issues, white ash (Fraxinus americans) is being selected as the predominate
replacement tree to lessen the potential risk of damage to infrastructure. Flowering pear
(Pyrus calleryana) is also identified, and is appropriate around hardscape settings.
6.2 Replacement Planting Size
My review of project's site constraints, walkway design, and utility locations (and depth)
reveals the largest, compatible box size for a new tree is 24 -inch box, and in some
instances a 15- gallon size tree may be needed where utility constraints warrant a smaller
tree.
To optimize the potential for establishment, vigor, longevity and stability of a newly
planted tree, the planting pit for the rootball should be dug at least twice the box size, and
the void between the root ball and excavated area to be backfilled with uncompacted
planting soil (or alternative base material discussed in Section 6.3). By doing so, and with
Main Street Cupertino, Stevens Creek at Finch Page 7 of 10
City of Cupertino Community Development Department
David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborisr April 11, 2014
proper root pruning and inspection prior to being installed, the roots can have unimpeded
growth beyond the root ball (versus being deflected by compacted soil and base material),
and can help extend the life expectancy of surrounding hardscape.
Installing rootballs of larger trees, such as 36 -inch and 48 -inch box size, will be
incompatible with the vast majority or all of the proposed new tree locations, and will
adversely impact their short- and /or long -term performance and stability at potentially
significant levels.
6.3 Alternative Base Course Material
I recommend substituting base course material typically used for sidewalks with an
alternative material that can help promote tree establishment and vigor, while extending
the life expectancy of sidewalk areas; one material is Silva Cells (www.deeproot.com), and
the other CU- Structural Soil® (www.amereq.com /pages /2/index.htm). If implemented, a
minimum depth of 24 inches is suggested, and the maximum specified of around 200 to
400 cubic -feet per new tree should be considered.
6.4 Setbacks from Utilities
Regarding setbacks from utilities to new trees, I recommend the maximum extent is
considered to help avoid conflicts when excavation is needed to repair or replace a utility,
as well provide adequate space for properly installing a new tree (and /or should a particular
tree and stump need removal, and a new tree planted).
The utility plan shown on L -8.7 reveals four feet at many locations, and in some
instances, the setbacks appear less. For a 24 -inch box size tree, I recommend a minimum
setback of four to five feet from any utility, and there should be at least a three- to four -
foot deep clearance from the top of rootball to a utility. Please note that additional
setbacks may be required for compliance with regulatory codes, as well as
recommendations by the project civil engineer and /or general contractor. Also, note that
"utility" should include any concrete encasing; backfill for a trench; possibly the entire
trench if backfill was compacted; and splice boxes, meters, vaults, cleanouts, etc.

6.5 General Guidelines
I do not recommend the use of root barriers, as they deter favorable, lateral root growth;
can adversely impact a tree's vigor and anchoring capacity; may provide only a short -term
solution, as opportunistic roots will grow above and /or below the barrier; and could result
in a tree's premature removal. The use of Silva Cells or Structural Soil, and utilized at
sufficient volume, can help reduce the need for a barrier.
Based on the amount of new trees to be installed, they should be selected and tagged at
the nursery by an ISA certified arborist and /or the landscape architect prior to being
shipped to the site. They should have relatively symmetrical structures mostly free of
obvious defects, wounds and girdling roots. Additionally, the arborist and /or landscape
architect should be retained to examine and root prune, as needed, once the boxes are
removed and before being installed.
All new trees should be installed, including necessary irrigation, by an experienced state -
licensed landscape contractor or a professional tree service company, and performed to
professional industry standards. They should be double- staked (no cross - brace) with
rubber tree ties or equivalent, and the support stakes cut below the first main lateral branch;
for a low- branching tree, the stakes (if needed) should be established in a manner that
avoids damaging the trunk(s) and branches. Percolation tests should also be performed for
each planting pit to ensure drainage is achieved.
All irrigation should be supplied through valves and automatic timers separate from that
of shrubs, plants and groundcover, and supplied by two bubblers placed and staked on the
surface of the root ball (versus against the trunk or in a sleeve) at around the one -half or
three - quarters of the distance between the trunk and rootball edges. Additionally, an eight -
inch tall circular berm formed by soil should be formed around the perimeter of the
rootball (for water from the bubblers to flood). A two- to three -inch layer of wood -chip
mulch should be spread on top and 12 inches beyond the root ball (but not piled against the
trunks).
