Application: Tree Removal Permit
Dear Ms. Clark,
The Community Development Director has reviewed your Tree Removal Permit application (PLN2010-125) for the
removal of eight (8) Liquid Amber trees, two (2) Plum trees, and one (1) Chinese Elm tree (Arborist Report ID No's 25
through 36) in the common landscape area of the above multiple-family residential development located at the above
referenced address. The Community Development Director has approved the removal of two (2) Liquid Amber trees
(Arborist Report ID No's 26 and 36); the removal of two (2) Plum trees (Arborist Report ID No's 31 and 34); and, the
removal of one (1) Chinese Elm (Arborist Report Id No. 27). Additionally, The Director has determined that the condition
of the seven other trees (Arborist Report No's 25, 28, 29, 30, 33, 35, and 36) does not satisfy the criteria for removal as the
trees do not meet the criteria for removal set forth in Section 21.32.080(A) of the Campbell Municipal Code. Therefore, the
removal of the trees identified by Arborist Report No's 25, 28, 29, 30, 33, 35, and 36 is denied.
The Tree Removal Permit approval for the removal of the five (5) identified trees is subject to the following Condition of
Approval:
1. The applicant shall plant one (1) replacement 24-inch box tree for each tree removed consistent with the submitted tree
replacement plan identified as Attachment B of the Tree Removal Permit application. The Community Development
Director has approved an extension of time to complete the replanting requirement. The replacement trees shall be
planted within 90 days of the effective date of this approval, unless accepted horticultural practices dictate a
preferential planting period for the species chosen as replacement trees.
The Tree Removal Permit has been approved based upon the City's determination, with a supporting recommendation by a
Certified Arborist that the five (5) identified trees for removal have been identified by the licensed Arborist causing damage
to the surrounding structures.
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 August 2, 2010. 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.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact me at (408) 866-2142 or via email at
