Re: Tree Removal ~ File No: PLN2008-149
400 W. Rincon Avenue
Dear Mr. Schnell,
On January 2, 2009, the Community Development Director conditionally approved your Tree
Removal Permit application (PLN2008-149) for the removal of fifty (50) protected trees in
conjunction with a comprehensive new landscaping plan, as indicated on the approved Tree
Removal Plan (enclosed), dated as received by the Planning Division on December 1, 2008, for
property located at 400 W. Rincon Avenue.
Your application has been approved subject to the following Condition of Approval:
1. The applicant shall plant sixteen (16) 24 inch box, and forty-nine (49) 15-gallon trees as
indicated on the approved Replanting Plan, dated as received by the Planning Division on
January 14, 2009.
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 inflicted by disease or structural defect, or
have been planted in inappropriate locations leading to damage to adjacent structures. It has been
determined that this situation cannot be controlled or remedied through tree trimming or pruning as
this will accelerate the decline of the trees or be ineffective at preventing future property damage.
Please note that this approval does not pertain to trees located within the public right-of--way.
This approval is final in 10 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 Thursday,
February 12, 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 10 day appeal period.
