JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT
Re: Eucalypti Tree located at the side of 20212 Rodrigues Ave. Cupertino, CA
facing Rodrigues Ave.
The 2 main trunks of the eucalypti tree were torn down by the storm on February
6, 2015. As the trunks were fallen in middle of the street, luckily, no one was hurt
and no damages caused to the oncoming cars. There is another big trunk which is
barely attached to the tree could be fallen down in next storm or earlier by gusty
wind. All members of the Homeowners' Association have agreed, for the sake of
safety, to remove this tree to avoid damage to the properties and injury to the
pedestrians.
