Tree Removal Request
543 Latimer Circle
Dear Applicant:
Thank you for the submittal of the arborist report recommending removal of a Canary Island
Pine in the rear yard of the townhome on the referenced property.
The Tree Removal Permit application to remove one (1) Canary Island Pine tree currently
located in the private yard area has been reviewed and approved. A review of the approved
landscaping plan for this townhome development does not indicate any tree planting in this
private yard area. Consequently, this tree is not protected under the Tree Preservation
Ordinance and may be removed without the issuance of a tree removal permit.
Should you have any questions regarding the above referenced matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (408) 866-2144 or via email at timh @cityofcampbell.com.
Sincerely,
Tim Haley
Associate Planner

Assignment:
Assessment of practicality of salvage of a single specimens of Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis.
Observations:
The subject specimen is healthy and does not exhibit damage or developmental disfigurement that would have
compromised structural integrity. Trunk caliper is approximately forty two inches (abh). Endemic soil is dense
and drains slowly but has been generously and frequently irrigated to sustain adjacent lawn. Lower strata have
likely been continually moist and occasionally saturated, which would have inhibited dispersion of roots into
deeper strata and subsequent development of adequate stability.
The trunk of the subject specimen is in direct proximity to the interior of a comer of an adjacent fence.
Expansion of the trunk would displace the fence. Development of buttressed roots or expansion of roots at the
surface of the soil will displace features of the associated garden as well as the garden of the adjacent residence.
This species becomes disproportionately large when mature and can not be contained within the area.
Recommendations:
Salvage is not practical. Removal is therefore recommended. Prompt removal of the specimen, prior to
development of expected damage or accumulation of additional vegetative material, would be more practical.
