Tree Removal Permit Application
File No.: PLN 2003-73
1070-1072 Arroyo Seco Drive
Dear Mr. Gaffancy:
The Community Development Director has conditionally approved your application for a
Tree Removal Permit (PLN 2003-73) to remove one (1) Redwood tree within the front
yard of the property adjacent to the residence and one (1) Redwood tree within the rear
yard adjacent to the concrete block wall of the property located at 1070-1072 Arroyo
Seco Drive, subject to the following condition:
One 36-inch box Japanese Maple tree will be planted within the rear yard of the
property to replace the two (2) Redwood trees on or before August 27, 2003, 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 trees are too close to the
structures on site and causing damage to the main building and concrete wall as well as
potential damage to the adjacent parking lot. 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, July
28, 2003 at 5:00 p.m. A notice of tree removal will be posted on the property where it is
visible to the public and a notice will be sent out to all the property owners within 300
feet of the property. The trees may not be removed until after the 10-day appeal period
has passed and no appeals have been received. If no appeals are filed, staff will send you
a letter to let you know that the Tree Removal Permit is final.
