Re: Dead Tree Removal at 10420 Bubb Road, Cupertino, CA
To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to address one (1) Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak) on the northern
landscaped area at the corner of the building located on the 10420 Bubb Road property in
Cupertino, California. Please see E�ibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree
indicated as a white dot, and for the location of the replacement tree. The tree was dead
upon inspection.
Metrics for the removed oak is found in the following table:

The tree was determined to be dead (see E�chibit 1.2) due to its extensive brown foliage and
brittle needles. A live evergreen tree should be green throughout the year. The exact cause
of death is unknown. Removal of a dead tree does not require a tree removal permit prior to
its removal pursuant to Section 14.18.140 Paragraph B of the City of Cupertino's Municipal
Code; however, a subsequent application must be filed within five(5) working days.
The tree will require replacement, selected by the Apple arborist to ensure optimal structure,
health, and no girdling roots. The selected tree will then be trained from an early age as
needed to optimize branching structure, extending the aesthetically and structurally sound
lifespan of the tree. The proposed replacement is one (1) 36-inch box Quercus agrifolia
(coast live oak).
Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the
information provided in this letter.
