Tantau Avenue. The application is approved with the following conditions: 1. APPROVED PROJECT This approval is based on the arborist report prepared by Ron Janzing (Certified Arborist #WE 5524), dated August 8, 2012, consisting of one page and a tree removal site plan, except as may be amended by conditions in this resolution. 2. IN-LIEU TREE REPLACEMENT FEES The Director of Community Development has determined that accommodating the six (6) required 24-inch box trees on the property would not be feasible and therefore a tree in-lieu fee would be required. The cost to procure, install, and replace six required 24-inch box replacement trees are approximately $2,100.00, of which the applicant has paid on November 8, 2012, in accordance with the City's Protected Tree Ordinance. 3. NOTICE OF FEES DEDICATIONS, RESERVATIONS OR OTHER EXACTIONS The Conditions of Project Approval set forth herein may include certain fees, dedication requirements, reservation requirements, and other exactions. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d) (1), these Conditions constitute written notice of a statement of the amount of such fees, and a description of the dedications, reservations, and other exactions. You are hereby further notified that the 90-day approval period in which you may protest these fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions, pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(a), has begun. If you fail to file a protest within this 90-day period complying with all of the requirements of Section 66020, you will be legally barred from later challenging such exactions. Staff has made the findings necessary to grant the tree removal permit in accordance with Section 14.18.180 of the Protected Trees Ordinance. Please note, however, that an appeal of this decision can be made within 14 calendar days from the date of the mailing of this decision. If this happens, you will be notified of a public hearing, which will be scheduled before the Planning Commission and the trees cannot be removed until a final decision on the appeal has been made. If no appeal is made within the appeal period, the tree(s) may be removed after Tuesday, December 18,2012.

A portion of this pipeline runs parallel to the —eastern property line of 10200 Tantau Avenue, Cupertino (APN 316-19-061). The City's construction work requires excavation of the water main, installation of new services in J the vicinity of HWY 280 just east of the north-east property corner of APN 316-19-061 and abandonment of a section of the pipeline. � Q Sometime after the water main was constructed, redwood trees were planted along the northern and eastern property boundaries of APN 316-19-061. Unfortunately, the trees have grown resulting in the water main now being located under the drip line. Initial "excavation revealed that roots from the redwood trees are growing around the City's water main. In order to perform the necessary work,the roots of the trees will need to be removed all the way to the trunks of the trees. This will cause severe damage to the trees, affecting their future health and stability. We believe that the pipeline cannot be safely accessed, modified or maintained by the City until the trees are removed. Therefore, our recommendation is to remove the three trees from the site that are most adversely impacting the construction and future maintenance of the City's public water facilities in that area. Please see that attached sheet for the location of the impacted trees. Let me know i�`yo ve any questions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
