One (1) 36-inch box Purple Leaf Plum tree will be planted on the property to replace the Black Walnut tree on or before December 19, 2001, per the Tree Protection Ordinance. The Tree Removal Permit has been approved based upon the City's determination, with a supporting recommendation by a Certified Arborist, that the tree has grown too large for its location and is causing damage to the existing patio and underground pipes. Further, the close proximity of the tree to the house presents a potential for substantial damage to the foundation of the home Staff has determined that the situation cannot be reasonably remedied by means other than removal. It is recommended that the trees be removed by persons who are experienced and bonded for the removal of trees and that the stumps be ground out and the roots removed so there will not be re- growth of the tree. This approval is final in 10 days, unless an appeal is received in writing at the City of Campbell City Clerk's Office, 70 N. First Street, Campbell, on or before Monday, November 19, 2001. The tree may not be removed until after the 10-day appeal period has passed and no appeals .have been received.

Campbell, CA 95008 To Whom It May Concern: Saratoga Tree Service was asked to inspect a Black Walnut in the baekyard of 125A Redding Rd. in Campbell. The tree is approximately 29 inches DBH at 4ft (circumference of 90 inches at 4ft.) and 35 feet high. It is located directly behind the gate which leads into the backyard. Due to the formation of the think, the access through this gate is somewhat limited (please see photos #1 and #3). The tree has only one main trunk which starts to lean heavily at 3ft. or so. The canopy self-corrects the lean at about 9ft. There is little to no hunk taper. The canopy of the tree has approximately 20% deadwood in it. The remaining portion of the canopy appears to be in good health at this time (a climbing inspection of the canopy was not done). There are multiple old priming cuts on the trunk at 3 - 4 fi. and a large, secondary leader was removed on the house side at 5fi. or so. The patio under the -tree has been crocked in two different places. The mink of the tree is 7ft. from the edge o£the building. The air conditioning unit has been lifted by the tree and is within 3 inches of the trunk (please see photo #3). A small fence erected to hide the air-conditioning unit is adjacent to the trunk of the tree (mink is growing into fence). Please feel free to call with any questions.
