Re: Retroactive Tree Removal at 20625 Lazaneo Drive, Cupertino, CA
To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to address one (1) Callistemon citrinus (bottle brush) removed at 20625
Lazaneo Drive in Cupertino, California. The tree was growing in a patio area on the north-side
of the building in the rear parking area. The tree was severely damaged on March 29, 2014,
during the renovation of the patio area; it was then removed without a permit. Please see the
attached map in Exhibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree and the location of the
replacement tree and Exhibit 1.2 for an archived image of the tree taken in July 2013.
Metrics for the removed bottle brush tree is found in the following table:
. . �- � . - . � -.�
Bottie Brush Callistemon citrinus 12" 38" 20' 15'
Currently, there is a renovation of the patio area occurring at the Lazaneo property, and while
shoring the patio's landscaped area to install the new hardscape surfaces,the root system of the
tree was compromised. The tree fell over; the damaged tree was removed. The property owner
understands that the removal of a protected tree is subject to a retroactive tree removal permit
and any fines associated pursuant to Section 14.18.188 of the City of Cupertino's Municipal
Code.
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 Lagerstroemia indica `Natchez'
(`Natchez' crape myrtle).
Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the
information provided in this letter.
Sincerely,
