(4/28/03), I have inspecteii the site, evaluated the Arborist Report and have reviewed changes in the building plans. I have determined the following: I am satisfied that the conditions we prepared for Mr.Miller, (Planning Dept. Memo 4/23/03), have been met with in the latest Arborist Report from Mayne Tree Co.. The findings iri this report aze accurate and I am personally confident that if all of the tree protections listed in the report are followed by Mr. Miller, and his confractors, that this project can go forward as planned wifihout significant short or long term harm to the trees i.n question. With regazd to the Arborist Report, submitted by Mrs. Gazcia, (Barrie Coate, 4/9/03). This report appears to cite standard, general tree protection guidelines. I believe this report was done without any actual prior site specific field analysis. Although accurate, the report does not address remedial effarts available when the general guidelines are sometimes violated. The Mayne Tree Co. report, on the other hand, is based on actual "hands on" field inspection of the specific site and situation. In this report, it appears that there will be no violation of general tree protection guidelines and that the construction methods to be used will cause minimal tree root damage and will be well under the critical 50% root mass loss formula. However, the Mayne Tree Co. Regort has cited an additional important issue: "After construcfiion, installation of landscaping, irrigation, electricity, retaining wa11s, etc. can h�ve more impact to trees than the construction itself. I recommend havi.ng the landscape plans discussed with the architect and the arborist. This may be a further help to keeping these trees healthy." I agree with tlus recommendation......sp Project Comments Date: To: From: June 15, 2007 d City Engineer (650) 558- 7230 ❑ Chief Building Official (650) 558-7260 ❑ City Arborist (650) 558-7254 ❑ Recycling Specialist (650) 558-7271 ❑ Fire Marshal (650) 558-7600 ❑ NPDES Coordinator (650) 342-3727 ❑ City Attorney Planning Staff Subject: Request for application for amendment to mitigated negative declaration, design review, conditional use permit for emerging lots, and special permits for attached garage, building height and declining height envelope to construct a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage at 1537 Drake Lot 9, zoned R-1.
