Sincerely, Tiff r Assocaite Planner (408) 777-1356 tiffanyb@cupertino.org Hirschbek tree surgery 9/03/15 Nancy Gabriel 1496 Rose Garden Ln Cupertino, CA Arborist Recommendation for Removal On September 1, 2015, Mrs. Gabriel asked me to give my opinion on removal of a large deodora-cedar tree in the back of her property due to continuing nuisance. Location: The deodora-cedar is against the fence in the back left corner of the home (1496 Rose Garden Ln, Cupertino) Description: The deodora-cedar is approximately 60 years old with a DBH of 27 inches. The height of the tree is approximately 35 ft. tall with a canopy spread of approximately 45 ft. Conclusion: The cedar tree produces pollen, which the homeowner and neighbor are highly allergic to and the tree is growing in the middle of the power lines. The roots are causing structural damage on walkways, a fence, and shading property which is hindering growth of other trees. I believe this tree is too large and is a nuisance to my client, causing unnecessary structural damage & health issues. Removal of this tree would prevent further nuisance and damage in the future. My client will be replacing this tree with(2), 24-inch box trees (still deciding which trees will be best suitable) and will be supervised by a certified arborist. I hope my observations aid in the decision regarding this tree.
