PERMIT (PLN2001-75) TO ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF ONE
BLACK ACACIA TREE 1N CONJUNCTION WITH A
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1555, 1561 & 1573 VAN DUSEN LANE IN AN R-l-9 (SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF
MR. MICHAEL COSTA. FILE NO. PLN2001-75.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2001-75:
1. The proposed Tree Removal Permit is consistent with the R-l-9 (Single-family Residential)
zoning designation and the General Plan Low Density Residential designation.
2. The proposed tree replacement requirement of one (1) 24-inch box size tree is consistent with
the requirements of the Tree Protection Ordinance.
3. The proposed replacement tree will be a sufficient replacement for the Black Acacia tree to
be removed and shall continue the diversity of tree species found in the community.
4. The Black Acacia tree is in poor structural condition and has been topped in the past,
resulting in branches that are weakly attached to the tree and are in danger of splitting off.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
The Black Acacia tree presents a danger of falling, and the applicant has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Planning Commission that this danger cannot be controlled or remedied
through reasonable preservation and/or preventative procedures and practices.
Where approval by the Director of Community Development, City Engineer, Public Works
Director, City Attorney or Fire Department is required, that review shall be for compliance with
all applicable conditions of approval, adopted policies and guidelines, ordinances, laws and
regulations and accepted engineering practices for the item under review. Additionally, the
applicant is hereby notified that he/she is required to comply with all applicable Codes or
Ordinances of the City of Campbell and the State of California that pertain to this development
