Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist December 20, 201 I 1.0 INTRODUCTION I have been retained by the City of Cupertino Community Development Department to review the proposed removal of six treesl from the Biltmore Apartments property at 10159 S. Blaney Avenue, Cupertino. Specific tasks performed are as follows: ■ Review the map, provided by the applicant, that shows the general locations of the six trees. ■ Perform a site visit on December 19, 2011 (and met with landscape contractor). ■ Identify each tree proposed for removal. ■ Measure each tree's trunk diameter at 54 inches above grade or where appropriate to best represent trunk size; diameters are rounded to the nearest inch. ■ Estimate each tree's height and canopy spread. ■ Ascertain each tree's health and structural integrity, and assign an overall condition rating (e.g. good, fair or poor). ■ Determine each tree's suitability for preservation (e.g. high, moderate, or low). ■ Specify whether any of the trees are regarded as "protected trees" or "specimen trees" per City Code. ■ Sequentially assign numbers to each tree. ■ Obtain and present numbers found engraved on aluminum, racetrack-shaped tags affixed to five of the trees' trunks. ■ Show the numbers on an aerial photograph presented in Exhibit B (derived from Google Earth). ■ Obtain photographs of each tree;these can be viewed in Exhibit C. ■ Present findings as to whether the proposed removals conform to the City Code. ■ Provide recommendations to mitigate removal. ■ Prepare a written report containing the aforementioned information. ' Two are along the south side of 10149 S. Blaney Avenue, and the other four are immediately south of 10195 S.Blaney Avenue. 1O159 S. Blaney Avenue, Cupertino Page I of 4 City of Cupertino Community Development Department David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist� December 20, 2011 2.0 TREE COUNT AND COMPOSITION Six (6) trees of two different species are proposed for removal. They are assigned #1 thru 6, and include five sweetgum (#1, 2, 4, 5 and 6) and one evergreen pear (#3). Specific information regarding each tree is presented within the table in Eghibit A, and photographs are presented in Ezhibit C. The trees are located as follows, and their approximate tocations can be viewed on the aerial photograph in Exhibit B: ■ Trees #1 and 2 are adjacent to the south side of the building at 10149 S. Blaney Avenue. ■ Tree#3 is adjacent to the south side of the building at 10195 S. Blaney Avenue. ■ Trees #4 thru 6 are along the north side of the pond immediately south of 10195 S. Blaney Avenue. Based on the site, it is assumed that the trees were planted or retained as part of a previously approved, planned development. As such, the trees can be considered regulated and defined as"protected trees"pursuant to Section 14.18.035(C) of the City Code. None of the trees are defined as "specimen trees" per Appendix B of Ordinance No. 07- 2003. 10159 S. Blaney Avem�e, Cupertino Page 2 of 4 City of Cupertino Community Development Department David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist� December 20, 2011 3.0 OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS My observations reveal that all six trees have significant health and/or structural defects that are beyond repair and/or recovery. Consequently, each should be removed, and in the case of tree#6, I recommend its immediate removal due to the significant hazard it presents to persons and property below. Based on the above information, I have assigned a "low" suitability for preservation rating to each tree, and conclude the removal of each strongly conforms to Section 14.18.180(A.1) of the City Code;this section reads as follows: 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. 4.0 TREE REPLACEMENTS Applying Table A, Section 14.18.185 of the City Code, a total of six trees of 24-inch box size would be installed to mitigate removal of the six subject trees. The selected species should be appropriate for the site, and I suggest one of the following are considered: ■ a native oak (e.g. Quercus agrifolia or Quercus lobata) and/or Quercus rubra where adequate planting space is available ■ Arbutus `Marina' (standard) ■ Tristania l. `Elegans' ■ Acer rubrum 10159 S. Blaney Avenue, Cupertino Page 3 of 4 City of Cupertino Community Development Department David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist� December 20, 2011 Guidelines for helping determine appropriate locations include a tree's growth rate, size at maturity, growth habit, suitability for a parking lot environment, anticipated life span, susceptibility to insects and diseases, root invasiveness, and proximity to hardscape and buildings. Consideration should also be provided to, where appropriate, installing the new trees in the same general location as the ones being removed (to maintain overall consistency with the landscape planting plan approved for the existing development). Based on the amount of new trees, I recommend they are selected and tagged at the nursery by an ISA certified arborist prior to being shipped to the site. Those installed should have relatively symmetrical structures mostly free of obvious defects, wounds and girdling roots. Additionally, the arborist should be retained to examine and root prune, as needed, once the boxes are removed and before lowering into the planting hole. All new trees should be installed, including necessary irrigation, by an experienced state- licensed landscape contractor or a professional tree 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; where this is not feasible for a low-branching tree, the stakes should be established in a manner that avoids damaging the trunk and branches. All irrigation should be in the form of a bubbler-type system placed on the surface of the root ball (versus against the trunk or in a sleeve). Prepared By: . Date: December 20, 20l 1 David L.
