CITY OF CAMPBELL. HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Staff Report. Meeting of September 22, 2004
PLN2004-118
City of
Campbell
Application for a Heritage Tree Designation (PLN2002-118) for a 40-inch
diameter, 38-year old Redwood tree on property owned by the City of
Campbell at 1 W. Campell Avenue in a P-F/O-S (Public Facilities/Open
Space) Zoning District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Historic Preservation Board take the following action:
Adopt a resolution, approving the Heritage Tree Designation for a 40-inch diameter, 38-year
old Redwood tree at 1 W. Campbell Avenue.
DISCUSSION
The applicant has submitted an application for a Heritage Tree Designation for a 40-inch
diameter, 38-year old Redwood tree, located at 1 W. Campbell Avenue. The tree is located at the
Campbell Community Center at the comer of Winchester Boulevard and West Campbell
Avenue. The Redwood tree, commonly called the Son of the Roosevelt Redwood, is
approximately 38-inches in diameter, 126-inches in circumference, 65-feet tall, and has a canopy
spread of 34-feet.
The Son of the Roosevelt Redwood was grown from a burl from the original Redwood tree
planted by President Theodore Roosevelt on May 11, 1903 to honor the construction of a new
high school for the Campbell Union school District. The original Redwood tree was cut down to
make way for the widening of Winchester Boulevard. Prior to cutting down the tree, Campbell
Union High School superintendent Larry Hill had taken a burl, which is a lumpy outcropping on
the trunk of the tree, off the original Redwood tree. He was able to produce a clone of the tree
from the burl. On May 11, 1996, Mr. Hill planted the burl where it stands today at the comer of
Winchester Boulevard and West Campbell Avenue.
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed this item at its meeting of September 1, 2004
and was supportive of Heritage Tree Designation for the Son ofthe Roosevelt Redwood tree.
If the Heritage Tree Designation is approved, the City shall record the designation with the
County Recorder's office and a copy shall be provided to the property owner and the Community
Development Department. A listing of designated Heritage Trees and their locations shall be
listed on the Historic Resources Inventory and maintained by the Community Development
Department.
ANALYSIS
Staff is supportive of the Heritage Tree Designation based on the following findings:
1. It is on the Historic Preservation Board Tree Survey, completed in 2002.
2. It is an outstanding specimen of a desirable species.

Re:
Heritage Tree Designation
Background
The Historic Preservation Board Subcommittee conducted an initial heritage tree survey study
throughout the entire City during the Summer of 2001. The survey was revised during the
Summer of 2002. A list of possible heritage tree designations located on private and public
property was developed and reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board on October 23, 2002.
Seven trees, located on public property or in a public right-of-way, were recommended for
further study as possible heritage tree designations.
Proposal
After further study and review, City staff is recommending heritage tree designation of two trees
located on public property, the Oak at Jack Fischer Park and the Son of the Roosevelt Redwood
at the Campbell Community Center. Potential heritage tree designations are evaluated based
upon the criteria set forth in Section 21.32.130 (Heritage Tree Designations) of the Campbell
Municipal Code. A tree may be designated as a heritage tree upon a finding that it is unique and
important to the community due to any of the following factors:
a. It is an outstanding specimen of a desirable species;
b. It is one of significant age and/or girth in Campbell; or
c. It has cultural, educational, economic, agricultural, social, indigenous or historical
heritage of the city.
The two potential heritage trees are outstanding specimens of a desirable species and are one of
significant age and/or girth in Campbell. The Oak at Jack Fischer Park is approximately 75-feet tall,
55.75-inches in diameter, has a 60-foot canopy spread, and is over 100 years old. The tree is
indigenous to the area and is probably one of the oldest trees in Campbell.

PaJ!e 2 of 2
The Son of the Roosevelt Redwood is approximately 65-feet tall, 40-inches in diameter, has a 34-
foot canopy spread, and is thirty-eight years old. The Son of the Roosevelt Redwood was grown
from a burl from the original Redwood tree planted by President Theodore Roosevelt on May 11,
1903 to honor the construction of a new high school for the Campbell Union School District. The
original Redwood tree was cut down to make way for the widening of Winchester Boulevard. Prior
to cutting down the tree, Campbell Union High School superintendent Larry Hill had taken a burl
off the original tree. He was able to produce a clone of the tree ITom a burl, which is a lumpy
outcropping on the trunk of the tree. On May 11, 1966, Mr. Hill planted the burl where it stands
today at the comer of Winchester Boulevard and East Campbell Avenue.
