Arborist WC-1457 La Valencia Apartments Arborist report March 20, 2000 Page 1 of 7 Assignment: At the request of George Vaughan, Construction Manager, Medallion Landscape Management, Inc., this report reviews the health and viability of thirteen trees that will be affected by installation of necessary gas and plumbing lines that are reportedly required by the City of Campbell. This report is revised based on the April 14, 2000 letter from Darcy Smith, Planner 1, from the City of Campbell Community Development department. No other trees were observed for this report. Summary: There are thirteen trees to be removed for this project; all of these species are considered 'protected trees' as specified in section 21.56.050 of the City of Campbell Ordinance. The thirteen trees to be removed are as follows: 4 Olive Trees # 2, 5, 7, and 8 2 Monterey Pine Trees # 9, 12 2 Southern Magnolia Trees # t0, t4 2 Liquidambar Trees # 3, 4 1 English Walnut Tree # 13 1 Sycamore Tree # 1 1 Silver Dollar Gum Eucalyptus Tree # 6 Observation and Discussion: Tree # 1 is a 21" diameter at breast height (DBH) Platanus acedfolia, California Sycamore. This tree has been previously topped and is currently damaging the building structure from branch contact. This tree will incur considerable root pruning due to trenching for the new domestic water installation. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # 2 is a 14" combined DBH multi-stem, olea europaea Olive. No stem on this multi-trunk tree is over 12" DBH. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to the installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # 3 is a 12" DBH Liquidambar styraciflua, American Sweet Gum. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # 4 is a 17" DBH Liquidambar styraciflua, American Sweet Gum. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. La Valencia Apartments Arborist report March 20, 2000 Page 2 of 7 Tree # 5 is a 16" combined DBH multi-stem, olea europaea Olive. No stem on this multi trunk tree is over 12" DBH. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # $ is a 16" DBH Eucalyptus polyanthemos, Silver Dollar Gum. This tree is not a species protected by the city ordinance. This tree is planted close enough to the building that the majority of its canopy is over the structure. This tree has also been previously topped creating a high potential for limb failures that may be catastrophic because of the pedestrian sidewalk and building in the target area of limbs that could fail. This tree should be removed for public and safety. Tree # 7 is a 12" combined DBH multi-stem olea europaea, Olive. No stem on this multi trunk tree is over 12" DBH. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to the installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # $ is a 22" combined DBH multi-stem olea europaea, Olive. No stem on this multi trunk tree is over 12" DBH. This tree will be impacted by root pruning due to installation of necessary water and gas lines. Due to the potential for liability and close proximity of buildings and pedestrian walkways, it would be prudent to remove and replace this tree with a more suitable species for this location. Tree # 9 is a 31' DBH Pinus radiata, Monterey Pine. This tree will be greatly impacted by excavation and root pruning for the installation of necessary gas and water lines. This tree exhibits poor health as evidenced by its very thin canopy of poor color. Furthermore, this tree is planted so close to the building that approximately forbj percent of its canopy is over the structure. In combination with the decline of this species outside of its native coastal range and the ensuing stress it will suffer from the root pruning, it is my opinion that this tree be removed and replaced with a more suitable species. Tree # 10 is a 13" DBH Magnolia grandi#ora, Southern Magnolia. This tree will be impacted by root pruning of an unknown degree at this time. Removal and replacement is recommended with a more suitable tree for this location. Tree # t I is identified on the map only for pruning and will not be impacted by construction activity. La Valencia Apartments Arborist report March 20, 2000 Page 3 of 7 Tree # 12 is a 21" DBH Pinus radiata, Monterey Pine. This tree will be greatly impacted by excavation and root pruning for the installation of necessary gas and water lines. This tree exhibits poor health as evidenced by its very thin canopy of poor color. In combination with the decline of this species outside of its native coastal range and the ensuing stress it will suffer from the root pruning, it is my opinion that this tree be removed and replaced with a more suitable species. Tree # 13 is an 18" DBH Juglans regia, English Walnut. This tree has a significant cavity and decay at the root crown, it has also been previously topped creating a very high potential for failure that may be catastrophic due to the proximity of pedestrian sidewalk and building in the target area. This tree should be removed for public safety. Tree # 14 is a 17" DBH Magnolia grandiflora, Southern Magnolia. This tree will be significantly impacted by root pruning needed to install necessary gas and water lines. Removal and replacement is recommended with a more suitable tree for this location. Replacements: In accordance with City of Campbell Ordinance 21.56.100, the replacement trees are: 1- 36" box Coast Live Oak 6- 36" box Coast Redwood 6- 24" box Purple Leaf Plum Respectfully submitted, Brock A.
