To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to address two (2) Eucalyptus polyanthemos (silver dollar gum) proposed for
removal located along the Forge Drive parking structure entrance on the 18880 Homestead Road
property in Cupertino, California. Please see Exhibit 1.1 for the locations of the subject trees
indicated as white/red dots, and for the locations of the replacement trees.
The eucalyptus closest to Forge Drive is 20-inches in diameter at 4.5-feet above grade. The second
eucalyptus is 8-inches diameter. They are to be removed in concert with sidewalk upgrades being
performed on the property and along Forge Drive as the sidewalk upgrades will destabilize the trees.
The tree removals will require replacement, selected by the Apple arborist to ensure optimal
structure, health, and no girdling roots. The selected trees 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 replacements are three (3) 24-inch box trees: one (1) Sequoia sempervirens (coast
redwood) two (2) Acer buergerianum (trident maple), the maples to be installed in the same location
as the eucalyptus and the redwood to be installed in an open space along Swallow Drive (see Exhibit
1.1)
Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the
information provided in this letter.
Sincerely,
�—
