4. Based on the scope of work, this is a"Type I" project that requires a Stormwater Construction Pollution
Prevention Permit. This permit is required prior to issuance of a Building Permit. An initial field inspection is required
prior to the start of any construction (on private property or in the public right-of-way).
5. Any work in the City right-of-way, such as placement of debris bin in street, work in sidewalk area, public
easements, and utility easements, is required to obtain an Encroachment Permit prior to starting work.
5. All water lines connections to city water mains for services or fire line protection are to be installed per city

required, all fire services and services 2" and over will be installed by builder. All underground fire service
connections shall be submitted as separate Underground Fire Service permit for review and approval.
�. The scope of work is substantial. A remove/replace utilities encroachment permit is required to (1) replace
all curb, gutter, driveway and sidewalk fronting site, (2) plug all existing sanitary sewer lateral connections and
install a new 4" lateral, (3) all water (ine connections to city water mains for services or fire line are to be
installed per city standard procedures and specification, (4) any other underground utility works within city's
right-of-way.
8. Please submit an erosion control plan. This plan shall include, but not limited to, delineation of area of
work, show primary and secondary erosion control measures, protection of creek or storm drain inlets,
perimeter controls, protections for construction access points, and sediment control measures.
9. Because the property abuts a natural creek, please add the following verbiage: Property owner
improvements (deck, retaining wall, pool, shed, dwelling foundation, driveway pad, etc.) that are constructed
within 25' of the creeks top of bank shall stabilize the surrounding area to prevent erosion due to stormwater
discharge from the improvements. In addition, vegetation that may impact the creek must be removed and
replaced with stabilized material. Please show all downspouts that are directed to the creek and proposed
stabilization measures on the site plan or landscape plan. With the removal of the existing garage over the
creek, the expectation is that the applicant shall remove any non-native material along the embankment and
take great care not to disturb the hillside. If erosion is evident after removal of the existing garage, the applicant
shall submit and detail a plan of action to shore the embankment.

Project Address: 1245 Cabriilo Avenue, zoned R-1, APN: 026-171-050
Description: Request for Design Review for a first and second floor addition to an existing
two-story house.
From: Bob Disco
Parks Division
Please address the following comments at this time; provide a written response and revised
plans with your resubmittal:
1. Permit for removal of Port OrFord Cedar was denied in December 2016 because the tree was in
good condition and there was no effort to explore a means to preserve the tree and eliminate
the tripping hazards.
Because improvements are being proposed on the property, the Cedar will be adversely
affected by the new construction. The tree will most likely be approved for removal since the
demolition and construction of the new garage and patio will damage the roots and cause the
tree to decline.
A new Protected Tree Removal Permit is required and attach the proposed improvements and
landscape plan for review. The permit will not be approved until the Planning Commission
reviews and approved the proposed project.
The following comments do not need to be addressed now, but you should be aware of them as they
will need to be addressed at time of building permit submittal.

The City Arborist cannot approve removal since the tree is in good condition and has good
structure. Roots are lifting patio but this tree does not meet the criteria for removal.
Planning Commission should discuss options for retaining or removing tree.
