Re: LiveaTree removals at 10475 Bandley Drive, Cupertino
To whom it may concern,
Arborwell has been retained to prepare an arborist letter for the commercial property
at 10475 Bandley Drive in Cupertino, CA. This letter documents the necessity to
remove four (4) Eucalyptus sideroxylon (Red Ironbark) located in the rear parking
area. Their removal and replacement coincide with the renovation of the property's
interior and exterior, and specifically, the resurfacing of the rear parking area.
The trees metrics are in the following table:
ID Species DBH Condition
1 Red Ironbark 25 Hazard Risk
2 Red Ironbark 19 Hazard Risk
3 Red Ironbark 15 Hazard Risk
4 Red Ironbark 22 Hazard Risk
The Red Ironbarks are in good health but at a high risk for large branch failure. We
are asking they be removed per Section 14.18.180 (A) 1:
"that the tree or trees are irreversibly diseased, are in danger of falling, can cause potential
damage to existing or proposed essential structures, or interferes with private on-site utility
services and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification
of the structure or utility services."
The subject trees are mature eucalyptus that have become hazardous, continually
shedding large branches of various sizes into the parking lot. Within the last winter
season, several large branches dropped in the parking lot that have damaged
vehicles. Any one of these large branches have the ability to injury a pedestrian.
Their current growing space overhangs the subject property's main parking. The
parking lot is frequently occupied by pedestrians and vehicles. Another branch
failure has the potential to result in significant property damage and severe personal
injury. I recommend these trees be removed prior to fall/winter because the risk of
