Tantau Avenue property in Cupertino, California. Please see Exhibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree indicated as a red dot, and for the location of the replacement tree. The tree was determined to be dead on May 22, 2014, and scheduled for removal on May 24,2014. Metrics for the removed pine is found in the following table: . . .- � . - . . -.. Victorian Box Piitosporum undulatum 8"&13" 25"&41" 30' 15' The tree was determined to be dead(see Exhibits 1.2-1.4)due to its extensive loss of foliage,severely desiccated and decayed limbs, and limb failure. One of the branches has split in half and is resting on the adjacent wall. A live evergreen tree should be green throughout the year. Many of the other pittosporums along the perimeter look like they have a nitrogen deficiency in addition to similar foliage dieback and decay. However, it is not a deficiency. Rather, they are planted too deep in a heavy fill soil that stays too damp for the species. This promotes decay in lower stem and roots,preventing water and nutrients from moving up through the plant. 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 proposed replacements are two (2) 24-inch box Lophestmon confertus (Brisbane box). Several other Brisbane box trees have been recently installed along the perimeter and are performing well. The selected trees will then be trained from an early age as needed to optimize branching structure, extending the aesthetically and structurally sound lifespan of the tree. `R��i�., .;� : Please review this information and contact me �ith any questions or concerns regarding the ' information provided in this letter. �i���:��=�(���L �"�—����-f—�5 � Applicatian Number r Sincerely, ��� _� �1 �_ �i � .,�_,�_.+ - �� :�i�°ld:i.ii'$ Sainuel Oakley ..�-;�: r- �_��. � Certified Arborist,WE-9474A 2337 AMERICAN AVE, HAYWARD,CA 94545 OFF�cE: (888)969-8733 =- � "I9J3 EAST BAYSHORE ROAD, REDWOOD CITY,GA 94063 MA�tv F,nx:(510)881-5208 HR Fax(510}670-0275 WWW.ARBORWELL.COM 1r.� '�. _ r or � May 22, 2014 Exhibit 1.1—Site Map: The location of the dead pittosporum is shown with a red dot(top image).
