Dear Mc Gilli:
As you know he Planning Commission has denied our application 1-DIR-00 to
remove the Coast Live Oak tree that will eventually damage the retaining wall
of our driveway and our neighbor's at 10125 Scenic Blvd. We therefore want
to appeal this decision to the Cupertino City Council.
Noting the city's desire to maintain the population of Coast Live Oak trees, we
would be willing to put two 36" box oak trees elsewhere on our property if our
application is approved.
Enclosed please End our check for $125 for the appeal application. Please
advise on when our application would be presented to the City Council.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mary K Graham

To whom it may concern:
Here is report regarding the following address:
M/M Graham
10135 Scenic Blvd
Cupertino, CA 950! 4
'this letter is in regards to 1 Coast Live Oak or (Quercus Agrifolia).
Due to the location of this tree between two retaining walls, it is my opinion that as this tree
grows it will cause severe structural damage to the retaining walls and driveways. There is
nothing that can be done as far as root pruning, etc. to prevent this damage from happening.
As a certi ficd arborist f recommend the Coast Live Oak tree located at the address above be
removed. '
Please call with any questions, 408.448.2525.
