SUBJECT: TREE REMOVAL PERMIT ACTION LETTER-Application TR-2016-15
This letter confirms the decision of the Director of Community Development, given on April 15, 2016
approving a Tree Removal Permit to allow the removal and replacement of one (1) dead sequoia
sempervirens (Coastal Redwood) tree at planned residential development located at 10950 Lucky Oak
Street.
Staff has made the finding that the protected tree is dead and cannot be controlled or remedied
through reasonable relocation or modification. The proposed replacement plan is consistent with
the Protected Tree Ordinance since the applicant is replacing the trees on site, and the number of
replacements is consistent with the ordinance. The finding is necessary to grant the tree removal
permit in accordance with section 14.18.180 (A) (1) and (3).
The application is approved with the following conditions:

McClenahan Co. dated March 4th, 2016 consisting of three pages including the status of the tree,

2. TREE REPLACEMENT
The required replacement trees are two 24-inch box sequoia sempervirens (Coastal Redwood), as per
replacement plan, to be planted on the subject property within 30 days of tree removal. The
applicant shall provide the Department of Community Development adequate documentation,
including but not limited to photographs, receipts or invoices, to verify that the replacement trees
have been planted.
4. PROTECTED TREES
The applicant understands that replacement trees are protected trees and may not be removed
without a Tree Removal Permit and that they shall be responsible for ensuring the proper
maintenance and care of the trees. The applicant shall also disclose the location and species of all
replacements trees on site upon sale of the property.
