Application: Tree Removal Permit
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Glovin,
The Campbell Planning Division has completed review of your Tree Removal Permit
application (PLN~014-201) for removal of one (1) Redwood tree measuring four-feet in
circumference located in the side yard of your property. Pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code
Sec. 21.32.080 (Campbell Tree Protection Ordinance), the Community Development Director
may only approve a Tree Removal Permit after making at least one of the following findings:
I . Diseased or Danger of Falling -The tree or trees are diseased or presents a danger of falling that cannot be
controlled or remedied through reasonable preservation and/or preventative procedures and practices such
that the public health or safety requires its removal.
2. Structure Darna~e -The tree or trees can have caused or may imminently cause significant damage to the
existing main. structure(s) that cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable modification of the
tree's root or branch structure.
3. Utility Interference -The tree or trees have interfered with utility services where such interference cannot
be controlled or remedied through reasonable modification/relocation of the utilities or reasonable
moditcation of the tree's root or branch structure.
4. Overplantin~ -The tree(s) is crowding other protected tree(s) to the extent that removal is necessary to
ensure the long-term viability of adjacent tree(s).
5. Economic Enjoyment and Hardship -The retention of the tree(s) restricts the economic enjoyment of the
property or creates an unusual hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property
in a manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and the
applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the approval authority that there are no reasonable
alternatives to preserve the tree(s). A minor reduction of the potential number of residential units or
building size due to the tree location does not represent a severe limit of the economic enjoyment of the
property.

Based upon a review of the application materials and an inspection of the property, the
Community Development Director has approved removal of the Redwood tree, finding that the
tree may imminently cause significant damage to the existing main structure foundation that
cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable modification of the tree's root or branch
structure (satisfying Finding #2 -Structure Damage). As a result, the Community Development
Director is able to make the required findings for removal of the tree.
Removal of the tree is subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
I . The applicant shall plant one (1) 36-inch box tree somewhere on the above referenced property. The
replacement species may be selected by the applicant but shall not include Eucalyptus or fruit trees. The
replacement tree shall be planted within 30 days of the effective date of this approval, unless accepted
arboricultural practices dictate a preferential planting period for the species chosen as the replacement tree.
This decision including the above condition of approval is final in 10 calendar days of the
Community Development Director's decision, unless an appeal is received in writing at the City
of Campbell Community Development Department, 70 North First Street, Campbell, on or
before August 4, 2014 (Since the deadline falls on a weekend, it is automatically extended to the
following Monday.) A written appeal must be accompanied by the required $200 appeal filing
fee. If an appeal is received, you will be notified of its receipt. If no appeal is received, you may
remove the tree after the close of the 10-day appeal period.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 866-2193 or via email at
