SUBJECT: TREE REMOVAL PERMIT ACTION LETTER – Application TR-2017-33
This letter confirms the decision of the Director of Community Development, given on September 25, 2017 approving a Tree Removal Permit to allow the removal and replacement of one (1)
Modesto Ash, one (1) Liquidambar, and one (1) Aleppo Pine, located near 22851 Longdown Road, 10098 Ridgeway Drive, and 10106 Lamplighter Square in the De Anza Oaks Home Owner’s Association.
Staff has made the finding that the trees are irreversibly diseased, are in danger of falling, can cause potential damage to existing or proposed essential structures, or interfere with
private on-site utility services and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification of the structure or utility services. This finding is necessary to
grant the tree removal permit in accordance with Section 14.18.180 (A)(1) of the Protected Trees Ordinance.
The application is approved with the following conditions:
APPROVED PROJECT
This approval is based on the certified arborist report prepared by Brent Wahlberg for Brightview Tree Care, dated July 5, 2017, consisting of one (1) page, photographs of the subject
trees, and a replacement site plan, except as may be amended by conditions in this resolution.
TREE REPLACEMENTS
The required replacement trees are six (6) 24” box trees to be planted in the De Anza Oaks Home Owner’s Association property as detailed on the replacement plan. The replacement trees
shall be planted within thirty (30) days of the tree removal. The applicant shall provide the Department of Community Development with adequate documentation, including but not limited
to photographs, receipts or invoices, to verify that the replacement trees have been planted. If it is determined that it is physically not feasible to plant the required replacement
trees, the applicant may pay in-lieu fees determined to be appropriate by the Director of Community Development.
PROTECTED TREES
The applicant understands that the replacement trees 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 replacement trees on site upon sale of the property.

The conditions of Project Approval set forth herein may include certain fees, dedication requirements, reservation requirements, and other exactions. Pursuant to Government Code Section
66020(d) (1), these Conditions constitute written notice of a statement of the amount of such fees, and a description of the dedications, reservations, and other exactions. You are
