RE: Barrington Bridge HOA
Saratoga Tree Service was asked by Susan Hoffman on 06/23/10 to provide a report
regarding the two traffic islands on Chelmsford Dr. at the entrance to Barrington Bridge
HOA off Wunderlich Dr.. At present,the two islands have four large Flowering Pears
(Pvrus calleryana s�.) growing on them. The Association has requested a permit from
the City of Cupertino to remove these trees because they have now outgrown the islands
and the roots from these trees are starting to crack curbs and have raised the base of a
light standard on one of the islands. The Association would like to replant the area with
bushes rather than replace the Pears with a different species of tree.
The islands are approximately 7ft. by 24ft. The island closest to Wunderlich Dr. has a
light on it at one end and irrigation control valves on the other. This island contains the
two largest Pears. The other island(close to 18480/18485 Chelmsford Dr.) does not have
a light on it or irrigation control valves but most likely also has irrigation pipes under the
trees.
I would support the request of the Association to replant the area with bushes because
any tree planted here will produce roots. True, a smaller tree variety may fit here, but the
area surrounding the islands has plenty of trees in it.
Please feel free to call with any questions.
Respectfully submitted,
