Case Manager
To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to address one (1) dead Pinus radiata (Monterey pine) located along the western
perimeter of the property on the 12 Results Way property in Cupertino, California. Please see
Exhibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree indicated as a white/red dot, and for the location
of the replacement tree. The tree is dead and will need to be removed and replaced.
The pine is 40-feet tall and 32-inches in diameter at 4.5-feet above grade.
The tree was determined to be dead (see Exhibit 1.2) due to its extensive brown foliage, lack of green
foliage, and brittle needles. There is only one remaining live branch in the crown, indicative of
extensive crown death. A live evergreen tree, such as a pine, should be green throughout the year.
The tree likely succumbed to a bark beetle infestation that is plaguing Monterey pines in the region.
Removal of a dead tree does not require a live 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 selected tree will
then be trained from an early age as needed to optimize branching structure, extending the
aesthetically and structurally sound lifespan of the tree. The proposed replacement is one (1) 36-
inch box coast redwood in the same locations as the proposed removal.
Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the
information provided in this letter.
Sincerely,
Samuel Oakley
