BACKGROUND:
The project is located on 10114 Crescent Court and is surrounded by single-family
residential uses to the west and south, by the 6.3 acre Varian Park to the north and by
Stevens Creek to the east. Currently the site is developed with one single-family
residence (see Exhibit A). The home is not considered historic nor is it listed on the
City's General Plan Historic Resources List. The home was constructed in 1951 based
on the County's database. The residence will be demolished as part of the final map
process.
DISCUSSION:
Site Analysis
The project is located in an RI-I0 zoning district with a minimum lot size requirement
of 10,000 square feet. The proposed lots range from 10,254 to 13,176 square feet and
conform to the minimum lot widths (measured at the front setback line) of 60 feet. The
residential density at 3.21 d.u'; gross acre is also consistent with the general plan land
use designation (Low Density Residential, 1-5 DU/gr. Acre). At this time, the applicant
has not submitted architectural and site plans for the future homes proposed on the
lots. However, setback lines have been provided on the map to conceptually show
development envelopes in which the future homes could be constructed.

The applicant is also making an irrevocable offer of dedication of 37,073 square feet
along the creek to either the Santa Oara Valley Water District or the City of Cupertino.
The Water District occasionally uses an existing unfinished walkablef drivable path that
leads down to the creek for access to conduct maintenance. This dedication is
contingent upon the City of Cupertino and the Santa Clara Valley Water District
signing a joint use agreement for allowing the future option to use the land for
recreational purposes. In the event the two agencies cannot reach an agreement, the
dedication of land will revert to the City of Cupertino.
This dedication is in conformance with the City's General Plan's Environmental
ResourcesjSustainability Element's Goal of "Protection of Special Areas of Natural
Vegetation and Wildlife Habitation as Integral Parts of the Sustainable Environment."
Policy 5-9: Development Near Sensitive Areas
Encourage the clustering of new development away from sensitive areas such as
riparian corridors, wildlife habitat and corridors, public open space preserves
and ridgelines. New developments in these areas must have harmonious.
landscaping plans approved prior to development.
Policy 5-11: Natural Area Protection
Preserve and enhance the existing natural vegetation, landscape features and
open space when new development is proposed.
Policy 5-14: Recreation and Wildlife Trails
Provide open space linkages within and between properties for both recreational
. and wildlife activities, most specifically for the benefit of wildlife that is
threatened, endangered or designated as species of special concern.
Storm water runoff from the subdivision shall be collected in a new storm water system
and conveyed to the existing public storm drainage facilities. No additional drainage
shall occur toward the creek thus preserving the existing natural vegetation and
landscape features.
Private Road
Access to the project is by a 22-foot wide private roadway widening to a 28-foot wide
roadway (cul-de-sac) from a roadway easement off of Crescent Court. A 28-foot private
road provides sufficient room for two l1-foot travel lanes and a six-foot parking lane on
the side of the street. "No Parking" signs shall also be posted on the 22-foot wide
portions of the private roadway so that the fire lane is kept clear.
Staff recommends that the private road be paved with semi-pervious stone pavers or
similar interlocking pavers to enhance the storm water quality of the project and to also
help preserve the root systems of existing mature trees. This is consistent with other
subdivisions that have been approved in single-family neighborhoods. Examples are
TM-2004-05, the three lot subdivision on Greenleaf Drive on the CA Water Service
property, TM-2004-09, the five lot subdivision on South Stelling Road and more recently
a four lot subdivision on Alcazar Avenue, TM-200S-13.

July 11, 2006
Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R) and a private road maintenance
agreement shall be submitted to the City for review and approval ensuring that the
individual property owners will properly maintain the roadway and' the streetlights.
The CC&R will also record a public access easement on the private roadways.
Tree Removal
The City's Arborist prepared a tree report on the portions of the site that are to be
developed (Exhibit B). The report identified 31 trees on-site and 8 trees off-site
(identified as # 21, 22 and 34 on Exhibit B). A total of 19 trees are proposed for removal
as part of this project (Exhibit C). Out of these trees, ten are coast live oaks of which two
trees are considered specimen size (Tree # 4 & 5). Most of the trees removed are either
located in the roadway, in building pads, are in poor health, or removal is necessary to
keep other trees healthy.
The applicant is proposing the removal of the two specimen sized trees on Lot 1 since
there are several oak trees in the future rear yard overcrowding the more mature oaks.
Staff, with direction from the Environmental Review Committee, recommends that
either one or both of the two specimen sized trees be saved if it is possible to prune the
oaks without irreparable damage. Staff also recommends that trees #14 and #26, both
coast live oaks, be retained as protected trees since they do not interfere with roadways
or building pads and are in good health.
The City's Consultant Arborist has prepared a report to determine the replacement
strategy for the tree removal proposed (Exhibit C). He has provided the replacement
value of each of the trees and the average cost of planting different sizes of oak trees.
Staff recommends that 60-inch box oak trees be planted in high visibility areas to
replace the value of trees being removed. In addition, staff will determine the location
of the new oaks being planted prior to the recordation of final map.
Geotechnical Review
A Geotechnical Report has been prepared for the project by Murray Engineers Inc. The
City's Consultant Geologist has reviewed this report and concurs with the findings and
recommendations in the report (Exhibit D). The Geologists agree that the cliff is stable
and recommend that the buildings and associated improvements on lots 4 and 5 (the
two lots closest to the cliff) be set back 25 feet from the top of the cliff and that the
residence on lot 5 be supported on drilled piers.
Staff recommends that a slope easement be recorded for lots 4 & 5, prohibiting
accessory structures, i?cluding porches, including guesthouses, detached garages and
swimming pools within 25 feet from the top of the cliff, unless measures to stabilize the
cliff are incorporated into the design and construction.
The applicant is required to record the condition that the residence on lot 5 shall be
supported on drilled piers in the CC&R's for the subdivision. Additionally, two
conditions with regard to the Geotechnical requirements need to be recorded in the
CC&R's. The conditions require a Geotechnical Plan Review and a Geotechnical Field

Assignment
I was asked by Mrs. Ciddy Wordell, City of Cupertino, to evaluate the existing trees located
at 10114 Crescent Court, Cupertino.
The plan provided for this evaluation is the Tentative Tract Map prepared by Nelsen
Engineering, Sheet 1, dated March 2006.
Summary
A total of39 trees are included in this inventory. Of these 39 trees, 31 are located on this
property. and 8 are located on adjacent properties.
All of the 38 trees are identified and given condition ratings. Some trees and/or
circumstances concerning them are briefly described here.
Of the total 39 trees, Trees # 1.3.4.5.8. 13, 18.20.24.29.30. and 34 are protected by city
regulation. Of these 12 protected trees. Trees # 4,5,8, 18, and 24 are proposed to be
removed by the current plan.
Procedures are recommended here to help presezve those "Specimen Trees" planned to be
retained in their present locations.
Observations
There are 39 trees included in this tree survey. Trees # 1-20 and # 23-33 are located on this
site. Tree # 21 (representing 3 specimens). Tree # 22 (representing 4 specimens). and Tree #
34 are located on neighboring properties. These neighboring trees are located near the
property boundary and may be exposed to damage by trenching, excavation, or soil
compaction. For this reason, these neighboring trees are included. The attached map shows
the locations of all 39 trees and their approximate canopy dimensions. Numbered metal
labels have been affixed to only the trees that are located on this property for field reference.
No labels were affixed to the trees on neighboring properties.

The particulars about these 39 trees (species. trunk diameter. height. spread, and structure)
are included in the attachments that follow this text.
In addition to these 39 trees. there are also approximately 25 fruit trees oflow quality
primarily on the Lots # 1,2. and 3. There are also numerous trees located on the steep slope
toward the south side of Lots # 4 and 5. None of these trees are included in this survey.
The health and structure of each specimen is mted on a scale of 1-5 (Excellent - Extremely
poor) on the data sheets attached to this text. Based on these health and structure ratings
combined, I have given each tree an overall condition rating as follows:

Methods
The trunk measurements of the existing trees are taken using a standard measuring tape at 4
~ feet above soil grade. This is referred to as DBH (Diameter at Breast Height). The height
and canopy spread of each tree is estimated using visual references only. The estimated shape
of the canopy relative to the other nearby trees has been added to the attached map.
Comments about Specific Trees
Trees # 4, 5. and 18, all coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia). are stump sprout specimens. This
means that the original leader had been damaged or removed. The new leaders, usually
several, growing from the stump are poorly attached and highly prone to splitting out. This
poor structural condition does not significantly improve as the tree matures.
Trees # 9. 10, 11. and 12, all coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia), have been "topped". As a result,
they win always have weak: branching structures where the topping had occurred.
Tree # 19, a Silk tree (Albiziaju/ibrissin). is actively splitting in half. I suggest this tree be
removed regardless of construction.
Tree # 23, a coast redwood (S. sempervirens) has a wire tied around one leader to support the
existing wood fence. This wire is girdling the leader and should be removed. Another method
would have to be used to support the fence.
Tree # 24, a coast live oak: (Q. agrifolia) has grown through an existing chain link fence. The
interlocking wire goes completely through the trunk at about 4 feet above grade. This often
results in a weak: trunk structure.

Protected Trees
The City of Cupertino (Chapter 14.18 )" finds that the preservation of specimen and heritage
trees on private and public property, and the protection of all trees during construction, is
necessary for the best interests of the City and of the citizens and the public thereof." The '
City "finds it is in the public interest to enact regulations controlling the care and removal of
specimen and heritage trees..." A "Heritage Tree" means "any tree or grove of trees which,
because of factors, but not limited to, its historic value, unique quality, girth, height or
species, has been found by the Architectural and Site Approval Committee to have a special
significance to the community." A "Specimen tree" means any of the following:
Species Measurement from Single Trunk Multi-Trunk
Natural Grade Diameter/Circwnference Diameter/Circumference
Oak trees~ 4 '12 feet 10 inches (31 inches C) 20 inches D (63 inches C)
California
Buckeye
Big Leaf 4 '12 feet 12 inches (38 inches C ) 25 inches D (79 inches C)
Maple~
Deodar Cedar;
Blue Atlas Cedar
The "Specimen Trees" at this site are: Trees # 1,3,4,5,8, 13, 18,20,24,29,30, and 34.
Should construction occur as proposed, the following "Specimen Trees" would be removed:
Trees # 4, 5, 8, 18, and 24.
Risks to Trees by Proposed Construction
The management of materials and equipment, often as part of the staging area(s), commonly
poses a risk to existing trees. Protective fencing is the primary defense for existing trees.
Prevention is key to tree protection, because repair or remediation is usually ineffective.
The trees at this site would likely be at risk of damage by construction or construction
procedures that are common to most construction sites. These procedures may include the
dumping or the stockpiling of materials over root systems, may include the trenching across
the root zones for utilities or for landscape irrigation, or may include construction traffic
across the root system resulting in soil compaction and root die back.
If underground utilities are installed, it would be essential that the location of the trenches
must be planned prior to construction, and that the trenches be located at the exact locations
. . as shown on the proposed plans.
. Currently chain link fencing is in place protecting coast live oak Tree # 34. Should this fence
or a portion of this fence be removed for construction of the new roadway, Tree # 34 may be
exposed to risk of damage on its west side.

Also, there is an open space on the east side of the existing driveway across from Trees # 6
and 7. Should this be used as a staging area, Tree # 34 may also be as risk of materials and
equipment parked or piled inside its dripline, if the existing fence were removed.
Although Trees # 21(representing 3 topiary junipers) and # 22 (representing 4 Italian cypress
trees) are not protected by the city ordinance, it is likely that these trees are important to the
neighbor. If grading were to occur to the west side property boundary, these 7 trees may
suffer serious root damage. If grading were to be a minimum of 6 feet from the west side
property boundary, these 7 trees should not be damaged.
Recommendations
1. I recommend that protective fencing be provided during the construction period to
protect those trees that are to be preserved This fencing must protect a sufficient
portion of the root zone to be effective. The recommended locations of protective
fencing are provided on the attached map. Occasionally it may be essential to have a
certified arOOrist make decisions about the location(s) of protective fencing at the
project site.
I recommend that protective fencing must:
. Consist of chain link fencing and having a minimum height of 6 feet.
. Be mounted on steel posts driven approxiritately 2 feet into the soil.
. Fencing posts must be located no further than 10 feet apart.
. Protective fencing must be installed prior to the arrival of materials, vehicles, or
equipment.
. Protective fencing must not be moved, even temporarily, and must remain in
place until all construction is completed.
2. There must be no grading, trenching, or surface scraping inside the driplines of
protected trees, unless specifically described in another section of this report. I
recommend that there be no grading within 6 feet of the west side property boundary
in relation to Trees # 21 and 22.
3. Trenches for any utilities (gas, electricity, water, phone, TV cable, etc.) must be
located outside the driplines of protected trees~ unless approved by a certified arborist.
4. If Trees # 16 and 23 are preseIVed, they must be irrigated throughout the entire
construction period during the dry months (any month receiving less than 1 inch of
rainfall). Irrigate a minimum of 10 gallons for each inch of trunk diameter every two
weeks. A soaker hose or a drip line is preferred for this purpose. -
5. Materials must not be stored, stockpiled, dumped, or buried inside the driplines of
protected trees.
6. Excavated soil must not be piled or dumped, even temporarily~ inside the driplines of
protected trees.
7. Any pruning must be done by an arborist certified by the ISA (International Society

of Arboriculture) and according to IS~ Western Chapter Standards, 1998.
8. Any pathways or other hardscape inside the driplines of protected trees must be
constructed completely on top of the existing soil grade without excavation. Fill soil
may be added to the edge of finished hardscape for a maximum distance of
approximately 2 feet from the edges to integrate the new hardscape to the natural
grade.
9. The sprinkler irrigation must not be designed to strike the trunks of trees.
10. Landscape irrigation trenches must be a minimum distance of 10 times the trunk
diameter from the trunks of protected trees.
II. Landscape materials (cobbles, decorative bark, stones; fencing; etc.) must not be
installed directly in contact with the bark of trees because of the risk of serious
disease infection.
12. The plants that are planted inside the driplines of oak trees must be of species that are
compatible with the environmental and cultural requirements of oaks trees. A
publication about plants compatible with California native oaks can be obtained from
the California Oak Foundation, 1212 Broadway; Suite 810, Oakland, 94612.

Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to
examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to
reduce risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations
of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.
Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often
hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or
safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments,
like medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some
degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.

Assignment
EXHIBIT C
I have been asked by Piu Gosh, Planner, City of Cupertino, to provide a replacement
strategy for the trees that would be removed at the Kelley-Gordon Development Project,
10114 Crescent Court, Cupertino.
The trees planned to be removed, for which a replacement strategy is requested, are Trees
# 4,5,6,7,9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19,24,25,26,27,31,32, and 33.
Replacement Strategy
It has been our practice to recommend replacements based on the appraised value of the
trees planned to be removed. The values of the trees for this project are addressed
according to ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) standards, 9th Edition, Trunk
formula method.
The trunk formula method is based on an individual tree's trunk diameter (or diameters in
the case of multi-stem specimens), but includes adjustments for the following elements:.
. Species performance in this climate area
. The species rate of growth (this is related to growth rates of nursery stock and the
cost to produce them; the cost per square inch of trunk diameter addresses the fact
that slower growing plants are more costly to produce)
. The tree's overall current condition
. The tree's location (this factors in an impression of the general condition of the
area, the contribution that this tree has provided to the site, and the importance of
that contribution relative to other specimens on site)
Using the trunk formula method as designed by the ISA, I have applied it to the
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program in order to complete the calculations. By this
process, the appraised values are as follows:
Tree # 4 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 5 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 6 - Acacia species -
Tree # 7 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 9 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 10 - Coast live oak -
Tree # 11 - Coast live oak -
Tree # 12 - Coast live oak -
Tree # 14 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 15 - Persea Americana-
Tree # 17 - Picea pungens 'Glauca' -
Tree # 19 - Albizia julibrissin -
Tree # 24 - Coast live oak-
Tree # 25 - Prunus caroliniana -

Tree # 26 - Coast live oak -
Tree # 27 - Schinus malle-
Tree # 31 - Eucalyptus species -
Tree # 32 - Acacia baileyana-
Tree # 33 - Eriobotryia deflexa-
$ 840.00
$ 2600.00
$ 200.00
$ 40.00
$ 4250.00
Total Appraised Value
$ 21,110.00
A copy of the Excel spreadsheet calculations, including factored percentages impact on
value, can be provided upon request.
In terms of replacements trees, I recommend that native species nursery stock specimens
be used, such as coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). I suggest any combination ofthe
following sizes approximately equal to the above total value:
boxed specimen - average cost planted
24 inch box - $ 375
36 inch box - $ 1000
48 inch box - $ 2125
54 inch box - $ 2650
60 inch box - $ 3500
72 inch box - # 10,000

SUBJECT:
RE:
Supplemental Geologic and Geotechnical Peer Review
Kelly, Proposed Subdivision
10114 Crescent Court
At your request, we have completed a supplemental geologic and geotechnical peer
review of the subject application for a proposed subdivision using the following
documents:
. Geotechnical Investigation (report) prepared by Murray Engineers, Inc., dated
June 13, 2006.
In addition to our review of the above referenced documents, we have reviewed
pertinent technical data from our office files and have had discussions with the Project
Geotechnical Engineer.
DISCUSSION
The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing property into 6 parcels. We
understand that one parcel will be donated to the Santa Clara Valley Water District and the
remaining 5 are proposed for future residential development. A new extension from the
east end of Crescent Court would be constructed for access to the parcels. An existing
residence will be demolished to accommodate the subdivision. An existing unimproved
access road to Stevens Creek would become part of Water District property. Portions of the
property are within State defined Earthquake Induced Landslide and Liquefaction Zones.
It is our understanding that sanitary sewer effluent of future proposed residences would be
piped to the sanitary sewer pipeline in Crescent Court.
In our previous review report, dated April 12, 2006, we recommended that an
engineering geologic investigation be performed to address the long-term stability of the
terrace embankment on Lots 4 and 5, characterize the site seismic setting, and provide
appropriate geologic recommendations for residential development. In addition, we
recommended that supplemental geotechnical engineering recommendations be provided.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION
Based . upon our review of the referenced document, it appears that Murray
Engineers, Inc. (ME!) has assumed the role of Project Geologist and Project Geotechnical

Engineer. MEI has performed a geologic and geotechnical investigation of the site,
including the excavation of two additional exploratory boreholes, and has performed
analyses of the potential for geologic hazards to adversely impact the proposed lots. They
conclude that the steep embankment of Stevens Creek has the potential to constrain
development on portions of Lots 4 and 5, but if appropriate setbacks are incorporated, and
pier-supported foundations are utilized where recommended, then the site is suitable for
the proposed subdivision. Based upon our review of the slope stability analysis performed
on the steep embankment adjacent to Lot 4, it appears that MEI has utilized regional shear
strength data tabulated for the Cupertino Quadrangle by the California Geologic Survey. It
is our opinion that site specific data is generally more appropriate than the regional data,
which is intended as more of a guideline than for site specific use. By correlating the on-site
blow count data to shear strength parameters (friction angles), we have evaluated the slope
stability analysis performed by MEI where regional shear strength parameters have been
used, and conclude that their analysis may overestimate the factor of safety by 10 to 15
percent. Since ME!' s seismic slope stability screening analysis resulted in a factor of safety
of 1.16, the 10% to 15% difference could still result in a factor of safety of greater than 1.0.
Consequently, it is our opinion that MEI's recommended 25-foot setback appears justified.
If it is desired to extend portions of the development into the 25-foot setback zone, then
, recommendations for deep, reinforced concrete piers should be provided. .
Consequently, we recommend approval of the Tentative Tract Map from a geologic
and geotechnical standpoint. The following should be performed prior to building permit
approval:
1. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical corumltant should
review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the development plans (i.e., site
preparation and grading, site drainage improvements and design parameters for
foundations and retaining walls) to ensure that their recommendations have
been properly incorporated.
The results of the geotechnical plan review should be summarized by the
geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City for review and
approval by the City Staff prior to approval of building permits.
2. Geotechnical Field Inspection - The geotechnical consultant should inspect, test
(as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction.
The inspections should include, but not necessarily be limited to: site
preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements
and excavations for foundations and retaining walls prior to the placement of
steel and concrete.
The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project should
be described by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City
Engineer for review prior to final project approval.
