Subject: Incomplete Application for Permit to Remove Two Pine Trees at 923 Whitehall Ave
Dear Mr. Crall,
The Campbell Planning Division has received your application for a permit to remove two pine trees at 923
Whitehall Ave in a R-D (Duplex) Zoning District. Your application is incomplete and cannot be reviewed until
the additional required materials are submitted. These include:
1. Scaled site plan that also shows the paving and landscape areas;
Photograph of tree proposed for removal that clearly depict the reason for the requested removal;
Arborist Report (including the appraised value of each tree); and,
Tree replacement plan (with a scaled site plan of your property, the location of all existing and proposed
structures, and the species of the proposed replacement trees). Please review the enclosed Tree
Replacement Requirements handout.
Please note that you are required to replace each tree you want to remove with one 36-inch box tree. It is
recommended that you choose a species that will attain a similar height and crown structure as the existing
trees, such as a Coast Redwood or Cedar. An ornamental or patio type of tree will not achieve this.
Under the Tree Protection Regulations, the Community Development Director can only issue a tree removal
permit if she determines that the trees are irreparably diseased or present a danger of falling that cannot be
controlled or remedied through reasonable preservation and/or preventative procedures and OR if the trees can
potentially cause substantial damage to existing or proposed main buildings or interfere with utility services
and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification of the structure or utility
services. Although you state in the application that the trees are very messy, dangerous and have pine bores
additional information - most importantly the arborist report - is needed before the above-mentioned
determination can be made.
.After .your application is deemed complete, I will need to conduct a site visit to evaluate the trees.

After the Community Development Director has approved the permit, an approval notice will be mailed to you
and to all the owners of record within three hundred foot radius of the subject property. In addition, the site
must be posted with a notice for ten calendar days indicating the decision of the community development
director, and specifying the appeal period and the method of appeal. If no appeals are filed during this period,
the permit is approved and the trees may be removed.
Should you have any questions on the above, please give me a call at (408) 866-2193.
Sincerely,
Darcy Smith
