RE: Villa Serra Apartments
20800 Homestead Road
Cupertino, California
Site Inspection -December 16, 2009
As requested, I performed a visual inspection of exposed roots from Red ironbark #157.
Proposed stairwell requires footings in the critical root environment. The pier hole has
been hand dug. One 2-inch and two 3-inch roots are exposed in the hole. The smaller
root has been partially severed. One 2-inch root was cut for sidewalk improvements at
the City of Cupertino's request.
There is upheaval to existing sidewalk from this tree entering the residence at 68D. This
tree was topped many years ago and the subsequent regrowth is weakly attached. Due
to conflict with new stairway footing and stairway (from the main trunk), limb failure
potential and sidewalk damage, I recommend removal and replacement with a more
suitable species.
Should you have any questions, or if we may be of further assistance, kindly contact our
office at any time.
Very truly yours,
