The subject tree, Alnus rhombifolia, White Alder, is 14 inches diameter at 4.5 feet above grade. See Figure 1 for the relative location of the tree on the De Anza 3 property. The subject tree is dead, leaning towards the vehicular parking area, and presents a hazard risk to the surrounding community. The dead alder is located in a planting area adjacent to a vehicle parking lot on the northwestern end of the De Anza 3 building. See Figure 2 for an image of the subject tree. The tree is classified as exempt from protected status under City Ordinance No. 07-2003, Chapter 14.18.140, and Section B: "The following situations do not require a tree removal permit prior to removal: B. Dead trees, in the opinion of the Director of Community Development. However, a subsequent application for a tree removal must be filed within five working days as described in Section 14.18.150 — 14.18.170 of this chapter. The Director of Community Development will approve the retroactive tree removal permit application and may require tree replacements in conjunction with the approval. No application fee or other approval process shall be required in this situation." Per the Section 14.18.185 of City Ordinance No. 07-2003, two (2) 24 inch box trees are required to be replanted if the trunk size of the tree is over 12 inches in diameter. For the removal, we request to replant two (2) 24 inch-box Acer buergerianum, Trident Maple, located in the same growing location, spaced to provide adequate growing room for maturity. For the aforementioned reasons, the tree is recommended for removal and we request the City of Cupertino to approve of the removal and grant a permit for the tree's removal. Currently, the tree is scheduled for removal on September 29th, 2012. 2337 AMERICAN AVE,HAYWARD,CA 94545 OF=FICE: (888)969-8733 8�GLENN WAY,l.1NIT#��SAN GARLO5,CA 94070 MaiN FAx: (510)881-5208 3207 FITZGERALD ROAD, RANCHQ CORDOVA,CA 95742 HR FAx(510}670-0275 5601 EASTGATE DRIVE, SAN DIEGO,CA 92121 WWW.ARBORWELL.COM V, Arbo'r ell.
