TR-2017-38 Justification Statement.pdf �tement of Purpose
I, Rashmi Gupta, am requesting for a Tree Removal Permit for a Deodar Cedar Tree
located on 10632 Mine Ct., Cupertino CA due to the following reasons:
• The tree is at an inclination and over time it has started touching the fence.
The pressure from the tree can potentially break the fence it rests on it
currently.
• The inclined growth of the tree also poses as an issue as the roots can come
to surface and start cracking open the hardscaped floor of the backyard.
• Currently about 35% of the tree is on top of the neighbor's property.
Neighbors would like no part of the tree on top of their property.Trimming
back the tree to remove it from above the neighbor's property can further
destabilize the tree.
• Tree is located at a corner of the fence adjoining our neighbor's property
(between two houses) and has very limited room to grow without causing
damage to either property.
• The location of the tree is a hazard to the property.
o The tree crown is very close to a majority of underground utilities for
this property.
o Some branches of the tree are directly above our roof and we've had
broken limbs from the tree falling. Branching breaking and falling on
the roof can damage the roof.
o In general,breaking branches pose a danger to anyone standing under
it.We have had a large limb break on top of our neighbor's property.
I am also providing an arborist letter verifying the above.
Th�ks,
