Staff has made the finding that the protected tree is hazardous and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification. The proposed replacement plan is consistent with the Protected Tree Ordinance since the applicant is replacing the trees on site, and the number of replacements is consistent with the ordinance. The finding is necessary to grant the tree removal permit in accordance with section 14.18.180 (A) (1) and (3). The application is approved with the following conditions: 1. APPROVED PROJECT This approval is based on the arborist report prepared by Sam Oakley (#WE-9474A), dated October 19, 2015, consisting of five (5)pages and a tree removal and replacement site plan, except as may be amended by conditions in this resolution. 2. TREE REPLACEMENT The required replacement tree is one 36" box Goldenrain tree. The applicant shall provide the Department of Community Development adequate documentation, including but not limited to photographs, receipts or invoices, to verify that the replacement trees have been planted within 30 days of replanting. 3. PROTECTED TREES The applicant understands that replacement trees are protected trees and may not be removed without a Tree Removal Permit and that they shall be responsible for ensuring the proper maintenance and care of the trees. The applicant shall also disclose the location and species of all replacements trees on site upon sale of the property. 4. 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 notified that the 90-day approval period in which you may protest these fees, dedications, reservations, and other exaction, 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.

October 19,2015 prof�s�ional tree mana�s�r�ent City of Cupertino 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino,California 95014 Re: Hazardous Tree Removal at 10460 Bandley Drive,Cupertino,CA To whom it may concern, This letter intends to address one (1) Koelreacteria paniculata (Goldenrain Tree) located street-side on the western perimeter area between the street and the sidewalk at 10460 Bandley Drive in Cupertino, California. The tree was removed on October 17,2015,for the reasons listed below. Please see Exhibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree indicated as a red dot,and for the location of the replacement tree. Metrics for the removed tree is found in the following table: � . �- � . - . � .� Goldenrain Tree Koelreutaria aniculata 19" 60" 35' 25' The tree was determined to be at a high risk for failure(see Exhibit 1.2). The tree had extensive decay in all leaders and scaffolds limbs, and desiccated cambium tissue throughout the large diameter limbs from top to bottom. There was cracking at the branch union of the limb that extended over Bandley Drive(see Exhibits 13 and 1.4). Most of the large scaffold limbs were dead and exhibited this cracking. Because of the condition described above,the tree was at critical risk of failure and posed an extreme hazard to pedestrians and cars. If the tree failed, half of the crown would have been laying in the street and the remaining dead limbs would have been out of balance. Removal of a hazardous tree does not require a tree removal permit prior to its removal pursuant to Section 14.18.120 Paragraph A of the City of Cupertino's Municipal Code;however,a subsequent application must be filed within five(5)working days,included with this letter. The property owner understands that the tree will require replacement, selected to ensure optimal stiucture, health,and no girdling roots. The proposed replacement is one(1)36-inch box Goldenrain Tree. The selected tree will then be trained from an early age as needed to optimize branching structure,extending the aesthetically and structurally sound lifespan of the tree. Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the information provided in this letter.
