Staff Comments: See attached memos from the City Engineer, Chief Building Official, Parks Supervisor, Fire
Marshal and NPDES Coordinator.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on July 26, 2010,
the Commission expressed concern with the massing and the lack of dimension on the structure and had some
questions concerning proposed materials (July 26, 2010, Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission
voted to refer the project to a design review consultant with direction. The applicant submitted revised plans to
the Planning Division on September 29, 2010, after meeting with the design review consultant, to address the
Commissions concerns. Please refer to the copy of the July 26, 2010, Planning Commission minutes included in
the staff report for the list of Planning Commission concerns.
Analysis and Recommendation by Design Reviewer (dated September 13, 2010): The design reviewer met
one time with the applicant and staff at City Hall to discuss the Planning Commission's concerns with the project
and he also reviewed two sets of revised plans over e-mail. In a letter dated September 13, 2010, the reviewer
notes that the traditional shingle style proposed for the structure will fit well with the surrounding structures and
feeling of the neighborhood, which has many older, established charming homes of various styles. He also
notes that the this is a well located building with an entry porch that faces two ways, that respects the setbacks,
has ample vegetation and creates a positive relationship to the streets and the neighborhood.
The reviewer comments that the prominent pattern for on-site parking is detached garages in the rear of the lot,
many single car, which is whaYs proposed and is therefore consistent with the neighborhood pattern. The
design of the new garage, he notes, is the same style as the house and is the perfect complement to the overall
composition. He also notes that the massing of the house is interesting and the second floor roof lines are
brought down to the first floor level to reduce the bulk. The design reviewer comments that due to a concern
from the next door neighbor at 1505 Cortez Avenue, the applicant has made windows smaller, placed windows
higher and has frosted some of the proposed windows, which helps the elevations of the design while also
compromising with the neighbor's demands for privacy. He thinks the final balance is appropriate and meets the
intention of the design guidelines.
In summary, the design reviewer states that the applicant has responded positively with major changes and
more detail to alleviate the concerns of the Planning Commission, the initial concerns of the design reviewer and
to be sensitive to the privacy concerns of the neighbor at 1505 Cortez Avenue. Lastly, he states that the design
has an overall high-quality feeling with details that are nicely presented and that he recommends approval of the
design as shown.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.

Re: Response to Commission Comments in July 26th, 2010 Hearing
Response to Commission comments:
Concerned about the applicanYs proposal to remove seven windows on the elevation facing the
neighbor, at the request of the neighbor: this change will make that wall appear more massive
and more blank.
We met with the Burlingame appointed design consultant to review our proposal for adding
interest to the fagade while making every effort to maintain the neighbor's privacy. We undulated
the fa�ade, brought the plate height of the roof down to 3 different, lower heights to create depth
and added trellises. Of the 91 square feet of glazing in 7 windows that the neighbor at 1505
requested we remove, we removed three windows entirely and reduced the size of the others
such that 63 feet of glazing has been removed. The remaining glazing will be privacy glass.
Additionally, we change the roof structure from web joists to rafters alfowing 2 of these window srll
heights to be 7'-2" above finish floor, effecfively making them skylights.
There needs to be some effort made to bring down the massing of the structure: it appears boxy.
The massing has been radically revised (and actual volume of the building reduced). Instead of
one major roof plate height for the structure there are now 3, the 3 facades have been revised to
give them more depth, frellises have been added.
The north elevation looks very flat.
Instead of being one plane it is now three and has additional detail, material, and compositional
elements.
The first floor windows could be expanded in size.
These header heighfs on these windows are 8'-6": they are quite large. Making them bigger wiN
increase structural costs significantly and will not allow for reasonably sca/ed crown molding on
the interior.
Provide some undulation to make the side elevation more exciting.
The facades have been significantly altered: undulafed, the roof plate heights varied, the structure
changed and trellises added to create more interestrng compositions.
If a high efficiency furnace is provided, the flu could be reduced in height.
Flue has been reduced in height.
Clarify the material to be used on the front stairs.
Stone over concrete.

Roof plate heights have been manipulated: Long sweeping roof lines and dormers to add
dimension.
What is above the back door: can the door be centered?
Back door has been center.
What is the material to be used for the attic vents?
In the hearing July 26`h, we said the vents were wood. However we are changing to painted
metal so we can make smaller louvers so they won't compete with the new detai! in front of the
vents.
What is the material below the windows on the second floor?
Question no longer applicable as fa�ade has change and the material in quesfion no longer
exists.
Noted that there are no railings on the stairs.
No railing is required as they are a series of 2 stairs separated by landings.
Public comments:
Chris (Kristine) Donnellan, 1505 Cortez Avenue; Pat Giorni 1445 balboa Avenue; spoke
The windows will only be seen from their property; the windows impact their privacy. This home
will affect them more than any other construction in the area (Terrones- there may be other
design solutions besides windows that will improve the design.)
Per design comment number one, significant efforts have been made to create an architectural
interesting fagade with very little fenestration on that fa�ade. We are still willing to remove all of
the window requested by the neighbor at 1505 Cortez per notes 14 and 15 on page six of the
drawing set. At present they are included because the Burlingame design consultant would not
support the design without them. We leave this to discretion of the commission.
Encourage the architect to listen to the Commission's suggestions regarding the design review
process.
Understood.
Sincerely,
��--

MEMO:

Planning Commission
City of Burlingame
501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010
Re: 1501 Cortez — Design Review
I have visited the site, the street and have reviewed the initial plans. I have had one meeting
with the architect/applicant at City Hall and another on site to review the Planning Commission
comments. I have reviewed emailed files of the proposed changes to the design and made
additional suggestions. I have the following comments on the final revised design plans dated
Sept. 9, 2010 per the Design Review Format:
1. Compatibility of the architectural stvle with that of the existinq neiqhborhood:
• This older established neighborhood is one of charming homes, of many various styles.
• Many homes have steep pitched roofs and traditional features.
• Lush vegetation, many trees and planted parking strips between curb and sidewalk with
street trees provide greenery and shade.
• The traditional shingle style proposed for this structure will fit well with the surrounding
structures and feeling of the neighborhood.
2. Respect the Parkinq and Garage Patterns in the Neighborhood:
• The predominant pattern for on-site parking is detached garages in the rear of the lot or
an attached garage to the side. Many garages are single car. There are a few newer
homes with double garages.
• The existing home on this lot has a detached garage facing Adeline Drive. This garage
takes up valuable yard space and is prominent on the street.
• The new proposal for a smaller single car garage against the rear property line is
consistent with the neighborhood pattern, and improves the use of the site for outdoor
living area. The proposed setback from Adeline and the fencing and sliding gate will help
make the garage less prominent.
• The new design of the garage structure is the same style as the new house and is a
perfect complement to the overall composition, providing privacy and a backdrop for the
rear yard outdoor use.
3. Architectural Stvle, Mass and Bulk of the Structure, and Internal Consistencv of the Desiqn.
• This is a well located building with entry porch facing two ways toward the street corner,
respecting the setbacks, vegetation, and creating a positive relationship to the streets and
neighborhood.
• The plan and arrangement of rooms and circulation make sense for the corner lot. This
allows the family room to face and open up to the yard, with more formal areas toward
the street corner and linked to the entry foyer.
• The location of stairway minimizes circulation and provides for a small central hallway on
the second level while maximizing the size of the rooms.
• The arched entry is a wondertul counterpart to the rest of the design and is harmonious
with the overall shingle style.
• The massing is interesting and the second floor roof lines that are brought down to the
first floor level reduce the bulk. The varied plate lines and large dormers, and the
recessed dormer windows create a neat composition.

ARCHITECTS
• The detail at the gable vent with arched trim and louver is repeated on the garage and on
each side. This repeating element helps unify the design.
• The windows and window style are consistent with design guidelines and the use of
divided lites is consistent with the style.
• Windows previously removed due to neighbor concerns have been reintroduced but
made smaller, placed higher and/or frosted. This has helped the elevations while
compromising with the neighbor demands.
• The applicant has responded very positively to suggestions on reducing the massing by
offsetting wall elements, adding dormer features, adding trellis window shades, planter
boxes, and reducing the prior boxy appearance. All elevations have been broken up with
these which reduce the scale in a positive interesting way.
• The use of stone, shingles and wood trim gives a richness of surface to the house.
4. Interface of the Proposed Structure with the Adlacent Structures to Each Side:
• The adjoining house on the West side, 1505 Cortez appears to be a split level design with
the attached garage and the side of the family room facing the proposed house. Above
the garage are 2 bedrooms and a bath with 3 small windows facing this property.
• The massing of the new house has been changed and reduced in height. The Master
closet has been located on that side to help with privacy.
• Windows have been reduced in size and minimized for privacy. The Owner has tried to
balance the need to avoid a blank wall with no windows as required by the guidelines,
with the privacy concerns of the neighbor. The neighbor apparently has no issue with
the lower level plan, and is concerned about windows near the rear of the west wall
facing their rear bedroom. Those windows have been made smaller. I think this final
balance is appropriate and a successful compromise and meets the intentions of the
design guidelines.
• The mud room and stair have also been placed to minimize need for view windows on the
neighbor side, and the smail windows on the landing are for the purpose of allowing
natural light in at the stair and enhancing the elevation. This is not an occupied room and
will have minimal impact on any privacy issue.
• This new 2 story house has been located far from the south property line. The location of
the garage up against the 10' wide alley is appropriate and has minimal impact on the
neighboring house to the south on Adeline. This will provide a 1 story high separation
from the yard area to the alley and this neighboring house.
5. Landscapinq and Its Proportion to the Mass and Bulk of Structural Components�
• The landscape development shown maintains the greenery and trees at the corner.
• The fenced rear yard makes sense and leaves the attractive house elevation visible from
the street.
• The location of walks and entry steps are straightforward and logical, and the rich stone
materials for planti�g beds and the walk surface will harmonize with the overall design.
Summarv:
1. This design has an overall high-quality feeling and details are nicely presented.
2. The applicant has responded positively with major changes and more detail to alleviate
the concerns of the Planning Commission and the initial concerns of the design reviewer.
3. I recommend approval of the design shown.

COMIt�fURTICAT101�' RECEIV�D
AFTER PRI:P�4�lTION
- - OF STAFF REPDRT
On Friday, July 16th, we received two notices that the homes on either side of us were going to be
reviewed. Unfortunately we left for vacation on July 18th and therefore have not been able to view the
plans at the Planning Office. We will still be away for the meeting on July 26th. For this reason, my
husband and I would like to file this e-mail for the record that we may have objections to the homes being
built on either of our home. We had an opportunity to view plans about a month ago for our neighbor at
the corner of Cortez and Adeline and did not have any objections to their plans, but we are unsure if they
have changed since we saw them.
We were oniy able to view the elevation posted in front of the house at the corner of Cabrillo and Adeline.
We would like to raise the following concerns and possible objections for this home (again we have not
had the opportunity to review the plans):
. The existing patio structure CMU wall at the rear of the property is currently encroaching on our
property and we would like to request that it be removed without damaging our newly built garage
(this may already be contemplated).
. That any power lines or sewer lines not run under or over our property (there is no recorded
easement to allow this).
• It is our understanding, based on our survey that the current fence separating our properties is on
our property. If the new owners wish to build a new fence on the property line, we would request to
be consulted so that we can determine how our current fence will be impacted. If they build it
entirely on their property, then we of course have no say or issue as long as it complies with
Burlingame standards.
. It appeared from the posted elevation that the house would no longer have an Adeline Drive front
door — unsure how the rear and side elevations will be viewed from the street and from our
property. We assume that there are no variances as stated on the notice. We would want to
ensure that the design of the home was in character of the neighborhood (possibly maintain the
existing Tudor character) and not simply a stucco box. Are the setbacks side and rear also
changing with the change in orientation of the property? If so, does the new home encroach more
or less toward our property line? Obviously, we have a concern if it would encroach closer that the
current home. We would assume that if the front of the home is on Cabrillo, that the back would be
facing our shared property line so there should be a minimum 15' rear setback, right? Or would it
still be maintained as a side setback at 7' minimum (57" wide lot) with a declining height
requirement? Please advise.

Dear Ms. Strohmeier:

�� r, c 7�: � r. �: n T' n,7 �. ?'
Our next door neighbor at 1505 Cortez Avenue, Kristine Donnellan, was concerned
about the impact our project might have on the privacy of her home. To that end we sat
down July 22 to discuss the project, specifically, the right side of the property which is
adjacent to her property.
She requested that we delete 7 windows from that side of the house. We discussed
using privacy glass, landscape screening, and making the windows smalier; but she did
not feel these would be effective.
As a gesture of good will, we are willing to delete 6 windows on that side of the house
per the (per attached elevation). To make up for the loss of light, we are requesting 3
additional skylights. There is one window we are unwilling to delete because its loss will
make our child's bedroom feel depressing. Because it is well offset from her windows
(per attached plan), we feel it still allows her home a reasonable degree of privacy.
Thank you for forwarding this to the planning commission for their consideration.
Sincerely,
�i
Andrea Van Voorhis

ARBORIST REPORT
Tre� Protectian Plan
Assignment
• Provide document review of proposed construction
• Determine impacts that could adversely affect one cedar tree
• Develop tree protection strategies to preserve the cedar tree during construction
• Provide a Tree Protection Plan report for inclusion in Pianning documents
Background
The tree subject to protection by way of this report is an incense cedar (Ca/ocedrus
decurrens) with a 48-inch diameter equivalent. The tree is located near the corner of the lot
at 1501 Cortez Avenue in Burlingame, California.
The plan set produced by Sparks Architecture was evaluated. These plans show the
existing building footprint with the tree location and what is planned as new construction.
The tree protection plan drawing on page 4 is based on these plans with additions by Tree
Management Experts.
A separate Arborist Report dated 7!6/10 was provided to evaluate tree health and structure.
Based on that assessment, this tree is recommended for removal. Without going through
the tree removal process, this tree protection plan is required for Planning Department
approval.
Purpose and Procedures
A tree protection plan is required by the Planning Department where an existing tree is on or
near a property that is proposed for development. This plan is to identify what the tree
needs, and insure that those needs are accommodated through design and construction
procedures.
For effective tree protection, soil associated with roots must be preserved. This area is
designated as the Tree Protection Zone, or TPZ. Within the TPZ, activities must not cut
roots through excavation or compact soil so as to make it non-horticultural. Where areas
can be fenced off, mulch and irrigation are to be provided. For areas outside the fencing
such as between the fence and the new building envelope, a plywood root buffer must be
laid over the mulched soil.

The project must have a designated Project Arborist who is part of the design/build team.
This Arborist will be the authority on tree requirements should questions arise, and must be
called in during the installation of tree protection features and when any excavation activity
is occurring within the TPZ. To insure that trees and building procedures are continuing to
be compatible, the Project Arborist must make monthly inspections and file brief
memorandum reports.
All tree protection measures outlined in this report are to be installed prior to demolition,
except the mulch and plywood root buffers that are to be installed immediately after
demolition and before foundation excavation begins.
Fencing is to be continuous 6-foot high chain link securely attached to iron posts driven into
native soil. All fencing ends shall be overlapped and securely attached to each other to
prevent entry into protected areas.
Mulch and irrigation must be installed within the tree protective fencing. Irrigation may be as
simple as a soaker hose that is looped around the fence perimeter. Mulch is to be
comprised of wood chips of 4 inches depth and absent from within 12 inches of the base of
the tree.
Plywood root buffers are to be comprised of 3/4-inch plywood laid over 4 inches of mulch.
Impacts and Mitigation
Impact: Demolition
All demolition in areas of the TPZ must be completed from within the building footprint.
Patio concrete and footings may be broken and removed with heavy equipment, but that
equipment must not enter protected areas at any time.
Mitiqation: Should demolition equipment enter the protected areas of the TPZ at any time,
the Project Arborist must evaluate soil impacts and may require soil decompaction.
Impact: Excavation Tailings, Demolition Debris and Materials Staging
All transitory materials from excavation or due to construction must remain outside TPZ
areas at all times.
Mitiqation: Should materials be placed within a TPZ, the Project Arborist must evaluate soil
impacts and may require soil decompaction.

Impact: Foundation Excavation
The existing concrete porch wiil be removed and the new retaining wall and porch will be set
back on both sides of the comer, by approximately 6 feet further from the tree to the east
and about 4 feet further to the south. This will substantially increase space for the tree and
essentially eliminate impacts from the foundation line of the new building footprint.
Mitiqation: Standard foundation design is acceptable. Any roots encountered must be
cleanly cut at the edge of the excavation trench.
Impact: Existing Underground Utilities
Any existing underground utilities within the TPZ must either continue to be utilized without
upgrade or be abandoned.
Miticlation: No trenching shail be done to expose existing utilities.
Impact: New Underground Utilities
New underground utilities shall run in trenches outside the TPZ areas.
Mitiqation: Any new utilities that must run through the TPZ must be installed with directional
boring.
Impact: Final Grading
Final grading shall not modify the soil levels within the TPZ, except to accommodate
necessary surface water drainage patterns. Cuts and fills shall not exceed 4 inches and
shall not extend further than 4 feet from the new building envelope without consultation with
the Project Arborist.
Miticlation: Any significant soil cuts may impact roots that are critical to tree stability and tree
removal may be necessary. Any significant soil fill will harm tree health and must be
removed or the tree may be lost.
Tree Care Requirements
The tree has been recently pruned and cabied, and no further work is required.

Disclosure Statement
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of
living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to
seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees
and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances,
or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborisYs
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.

Tree Health and Structure
Assignment
• Provide a site inspection to evaluate one cedar tree
• Evaluate tree health and hazard potential
• Provide an Arborist Report of findings and to make recommendations
Observations and Discussion
I provided a site inspection of the Van Voorhis property located at 1501 Cortez Avenue.
This is a corner lot, and a mature incense cedar tree (Calocedrus decurrens) is located
between the house and the intersection. Please refer to Photograph 1.
This tree is comprised of three trunks that join a short single trunk. For trees of this
configuration each trunk is measured and an equivalent single trunk diameter is calculated.
The equivalent diameter is 48 inches.
Tree health is fair, with foliage of proper size, shape and color, but of low density. This may
be from over-pruning, but shoot extension did not appear to be particularly strong and is
instead most likely an indication of decline.
Two large girdling roots were found, each directly impacting a large buttress root. The tops
of each trunk have been removed, each at a different level. It is possible that the topping
was improper pruning, but it is more likely that the topping occurred due to dieback caused
by the girdling roots and was proper pruning.
The junctures between each of the trunks is very weak. There are large amounts of bark
trapped between the trunks, and large ribs that have formed below these junctures indicate
internal cracks. Between the three trunks, above their juncture, is a mass of roots that have
grown up into the cracks. Please refer to Photograph 2.
A cabling system has been installed in a ring system using extra high strength cable and "J"
lags at 2/3rds the height of the tree. All cables are taut.
Conclusions and Recommendations
This tree has low to moderate vitality and is in gradual decline.

Tree structure is in poor condition with three trunks and very weak and failed attachments.
The structural problems have been partially mitigated through the installation of a properiy
installed cabling system. Cabiing systems are intended to prevent failures, not to support
failed trees, and this tree has experienced failures where cracks have developed in the short
lower trunk.
Tree hazard potential for this tree is moderate to high. Retaining this tree will require that
the property owner accept risks that are above average.
I recommend that this tree be removed.

Disclosure Statement
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine
t�rees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and heaith of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of
Idving near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to
seek additional advice.
�rborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidde� within trees
and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances,
or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborisYs
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonabiy rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.

Assignment
• Provide document review of proposed construction
• Determine impacts that could adversely affect one cedar tree
• Develop tree protection strategies to preserve the cedar tree during construction
• Provide a Tree Protection Plan report for inclusion in Planning documents
Background
The tree subject to protection by way of this report is an incense cedar (Calocedrus
decurrens) with a 48-inch diameter equivalent. The tree is located near the corner of the lot
at 1501 Cortez Avenue in Burlingame, California.
The plan set produced by Sparks Architecture was evaluated. These plans show the
existing building footprint with the tree location and what is planned as new construction.
The tree protection plan drawing on page 4 is based on these pians with additions by Tree
Management Experts.
A separate Arborist Report dated 7/6/10 was provided to evaluate tree health and structure.
Based on that assessment, this tree is recommended for removal. Without going through
the tree removal process, this tree protection plan is required for Planning Department
approval.
Purpose and Procedures
A iree protection plan is reauired by the Planning Deoartment where an existing tree is on or
near a proFerty thai is preposed for deveiopment. This plan is to identify what the tree
needs, ard �nsuie that those needs are accommodated through design and construction
procedures.
For affective tree protection, soil associated with roots must be preserved. This area is
designated as the Tree Protecti�n Zone, or TPZ. Within the TPZ, activities must not cut
roots through excavation or compact soil so as to make it non-horticultural. Where areas

The project must have a designated Project Arborist who is part of the design/build team.
This Arborist will be the authority on tree requirements should questions arise, and must be
called in during the instailation of tree protection features and when any excavation activity
is occurring within the TPZ. To insure that trees and building procedures are continuing to
be compatible, the Project Arborist must make monthly inspections and file brief
memorandum reports.
All tree protection measures outiined in this report are to be instailed prior to demolition,
except the mulch and plywood root buffers that are to be installed immediately after
demolition and before foundation excavation begins.
Fencing is to be continuous 6-foot high chain link securely attached to iron posts driven into
native soil. All fencing ends shail be overlapped and securely attached to each other to
prevent entry into protected areas.
Mulch and irrigation must be instalied within the tree protective fencing. Irrigation may be as
simple as a soaker hose that is looped around the fence perimeter. Mulch is to be
comprised of wood chips of 4 inches depth and absent from within 12 inches of the base of
the tree.
Plywood root buffers are to be comprised of 3/4-inch plywood laid over 4 inches of mulch.
Impacts and Mitigation
lmpacf: Demolifion
All c3emolition in areas of the TPZ must be completed from within the bui►ding footprint.
Patio concrete and footings may be broken and removed with heavy equipment, but that
equipment must not enter protected areas at any time.
Mitiqation: Should demolition equipment enter the protected areas of the TPZ at any time,
the Project Arborist musi evaluate soil impacts and may require soil decompaction.
Impact: Excavation Tailings, Demolition Debris and Materials Staging
All transitory materials from excavation or due to construction must remain outside TPZ
areas at all times.
Mitigation: Should materials be placed within a TPZ, the Project Arborist must evaluate soil
impacts and may require soil decompaction.

Impact: Foundation Excavation
The existing concrete porch wiil be removed and the new retaining wall and porch will be set
back on both sides of the corner, by approximately 6 feet further from the tree to the east
and about 4 feet further to the south. This will substantially increase space for the tree and
essentially eliminate impacts from the foundation line of the new building footprint.
Mitiqation: Standard foundation design is acceptable. Any roots encountered must be
cleanly cut at the edge of the excavation trench.
Impact: Exisfing Underground Utilifies
Any existing underground utilities within the TPZ must either continue to be utilized without
upgrade or be abandoned.
Mitiqation: No trenching shall be done to expose existing utilities.
lmpact: New Underground Utilities
New underground utilities shall run in trenches outside the TPZ areas.
Mitiqation: Any new utilities that must run through the TPZ must be installed with directional
boring.
Impacf: Final Grading
Fina! grading shall not modify the soil levefs within the TPZ, except to accommodate
necessary surface water drainage patterns. Cuts and filis shall not exceed 4 inches and
shall not extend further than 4 feet from the new building envelope without consultation with
the Project Arborist.
Mitiqation: Any significant soil cuts may impact roots that are critical to tree stability and tree
removai may be necessary. Any significant soil fill will harm tree i�ealth and must be
removed or the tree may be losi.
Tree Care Requiremenis
The tree has been recently pruned and cabled, and no further work is required.

Disciosure Statement
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and heaith of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of
living near trees. Ciients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to
seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are fiving organisms that fail in ways we do not fuify �nderstand. Cenditions are often hidden within trees

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborisYs
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate a!I risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.

Assignment
• Provide a site inspection to evaluate one cedar tree
• Evaluate tree health and hazard potential
• Provide an Arborist Report of findings and to make recommendations
Observations and Discussion
I provided a site inspection of the Van Voorhis property located at 1501 Cortez Avenue.
This is a corner lot, and a mature incense cedar tree (Calocedrus decurrens) is located
between the house and the intersection. Please refer to Photograph 1.
This tree is comprised of three trunks that join a short single trunk. For trees of this
configuration each trunk is measured and an equivalent single trunk diameter is calculated.
The equivalent diameter is 48 inches.
Tree health is fair, with foliage of proper size, shape and color, but of low density. This may
be from over-pruning, but shoot extension did not appear to be particularly strong and is
instead most likely an indication of decline.
Two large girdling roots were found, each directly impacting a large buttress root. The tops
of each trunK have been removed, each at a different level. It is possible that the tepping
was improper pruring, but it is more likely that the topping occurred due to dieback caused
by tne girdling roots and was proper pruning.
The junctures between each of the trunks is very weak. There are large amounts of bark
trapped �etween the trunks, and large ribs that have formed below these junctures indicate
interna! cracks. Between the three trunks, above their juncture, is a mass of roots that have
grown up into the cracks. Please refer to Photograph 2.
A cabling system has been installed in a ring system using extra high strength cable and "J"
lags at 2/3rds the height of the tree. All cables are taut.

Tree structure is in poor condition with three trunks and very weak and failed attachments.
The structurai problems have been partially mitigated through the instaliation of a properly
installed cabling system. Cabling systems are intended to prevent failures, not to support
failed trees, and this tree has experienced failures where cracks have developed in the short
lower trunk.
Tree hazard potential for this tree is moderate to high. Retaining this tree will require that
the property owner accept risks that are above average.
I recommend that this tree be removed.

Disclosure Statement
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of
living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to
seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are livino organisms that fail in ways we do not fufly understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees
and below ground. Arborisis cannot guarantee ihat a tree vdiil be heathy or safe ;�nder a!! ciroums±ances,

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may invotve considerations beyond the scope of the arborisYs
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.
