This removal is approved with the following conditions: 1. APPROVED PROTECT 'This approval is based on the arborist report prepared by Richard Smith (Certified Arborist #WE- 8745A), dated Apri15, 2013, consisting of twelve pages and a tree removal site plan, except as may be amended by conditions in this resolution. 2. TREE REPLACEMENTS The applicant is required to plant six (6) 24-inch box replacement Chinese Pistache trees in accordance with the Protected Tree Ordinance and approved tree replacement plan. Modifications to the tree species and location may be made to the approved replacement plan pending staff approval. The replacement trees shall be planted within 30 days of the effective approval date of this tree removal permit. 3. NOTICE OF FEES, DEDICATIONS. RESERVATIONS OR OTHER EXACTIONS The Conditions of Project Approval set forth herein may include certain fees, dedication requirements, reservation requirements, and other exactions. Pursuant to Govemment Code Section 66020(d) (1), these Conditions constitute written notice of a statement of the amount of such fees, and a description of the dedications, reservations, and other exactions. You are hereby further notified that the 90-day approval period in which you may protest these fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions, pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(a), has begun. If you fail to file a protest within this 90-day period complying with all of the requirements of Section 66020, you will be legally barred from later challenging such exactions. Staff received a comment from a neighbor concerned with problems caused by fruit bearing varieties of the proposed replacement Chinese Pistache trees. The owner is addressing this issue by planting a non-fruit bearing variety of the Chinese Pistache trees. Staff has made the findings necessary to grant the tree removal permit in accordance with Section 14.18.180 of the Protected Trees Ordinance. Please note, however, that an appeal of this decision can be made within 14 calendar days from the date of this decision. If this happens, you will be notified of a public hearing, which will be scheduled before the Planning Commission and the tree cannot be removed until a final decision on the appeal has been made. If no appeal is made within the appeal period, the tree(s) may be removed after Wednesday,June 14, 2013.

From my visual inspection I found the Pine Tree to be infested with pine pitch canker. The canopy has dieback throughout the tree. As a result of the disease, the tree is declining in health. There is also a notable lean toward the North. Targets: Playground area 30' away, multi-family dwelling 6' and another multi-family dwelling 20' from the tree. Recommendation: Due to the declining health of this diseased tree, I recommend immediate removal due to the potentially hazardous condition of the tree. Tree#2 -Pinus radiate: DBH 34", height 79', spread 50', LCR 70%. The tree is in poor health, due to pine pitch canker infection. This tree is declining in health due to the disease and has numerous dead and dying branches throughout the canopy. The tree also has a significant lean towards the South. Targets: Multi-family dwelling 8' away and playground 20' away. Recommendation: Due to the declining health of this diseased tree, I recommend immediate removal due to the potentially hazardous condition of the tree. .�. ,� , o�,� Prepared by: C\�'I - Q13 ; � Richard Smith ISA C ified Arborist �,J,l`, �Ps� 2`� � " ';,� , ,,. ,., �, , �, , ,_ �, y �� ,j .�c\ `��� ._ ` , ��...
