RESOLUTION NO. 6122
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO APPROVING
THE REMOVAL OF TWO EUCALYPTUS TREES AT A SINGLE FAMILY CLUSTER
DEVELOPMENT.
SECTION I: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: 27-DIR-01
Applicant: Carrie C. Liu
Location: 8079 Park Villa Circle (Westmont Park Villas)
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received an application
to removal of three specimen size trees and replace them with other trees, as described
in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support the removal
of the two Eucalyptus trees as follows:
1) The two Eucalyptus trees due to their location were planted too close to the fence
and have caused damage to the fencing.
2) According to the applicant's arborist, the trees will grow too large for the narrow
planting strip and the limited root zone will predispose them to failure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, the Director's referral of a Tree Removal is hereby approved;
and
That the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified in this
Resolution are based and contained in the Public Hearing record concerning
Application 27-DIR-01, as set forth in the Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting
of January 14, 2002, are incorporated by reference herein.
