Re: File No: PLN2009-161
Address: (l 157) Arnott Way.
Application: Tree Removal Permit
Dear Applicant:
The Community Development Director has conditionally approved your Tree Removal Permit application
(PLN2009-161) for the removal of one (1) 44-inch diameter Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) tree
located on property utilized as private recreational space for the residence located at 1889 Dry Creek Road.
The request for removal of the Mayten tree also located on the subject property is exempt from the city's tree
removal regulations and may be removed at your convenience.
Your request has been approved subject to the following Condition of Approval:
The applicant shall plant one (1) 36-inch box tree (species to be determined) on either the Arnott
Way property or the 1889 Dry Creek Road property to comply with the city's replant requirement.
The replacement tree shall be planted within 30 days of the effective date of this approval, unless
accepted horticultural practices dictate a preferential planting period for the species chosen as a
replacement tree.
The Tree Removal Permit has been approved based upon the City's determination, with a supporting
recommendation by a Certified Arborist, that due to overcrowding, the tree has been weakened by disease and is
subject to failing which risks damage to adjacent property.
This approval is final in l 0 calendar days of the Community Development Director's decision, unless an appeal
is received in writing at the City of Campbell City Clerk's Office, on or before January 14, 2009. If an appeal is
received, you will be immediately notified of its receipt. Otherwise, you may remove the subject tree at the close
of the appeal period.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact me at (408) 866-2142 or via email at

Sincerely,
Steve Prosser
