HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 6STAFF REPORT Development Services Department May 22, 2012 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY Arcadia Planning Commission Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator By: Thomas Li, Associate Planner Homeowners' Association Appeal No. HOA 12 -01, Modification No. MA 12 -22, and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. THE 12 -15 for a proposed 7,833 square -foot, two -story residence with a 956 square -foot, three -car, attached garage with workshop at 1101 San Carlos Road. This is an appeal by the designer, Mr. Robert Tong, to reconsider the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association's (HOA) Architectural Design Review Board (ARB) decision to deny the architectural design of a proposed 7,833 square -foot, two -story, single - family residence with a 956 square -foot attached three -car garage with workshop. The proposal also requires a zoning modification to allow a 29' -7" street side yard setback in lieu of a 50' -0" special setback from Foothill Blvd. (AMC Sec. 9320.30.2) and an Oak Tree Encroachment Permit for new landscaping and perimeter fences /walls to encroach upon two (2) oak trees (AMC Sec. 9703). The Development Services Department is recommending that the Planning Commission approve appeal no. HOA 12 -01, subject to the conditions of approval listed in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPELLANT: LOCATION: SITE AREA: FRONTAGES: Mr. Robert Tong of Sanyao International 1101 San Carlos Road 26,400 square -feet (0.6 acre) 219.85 feet along Foothill Blvd. 120 feet along San Carlos Road EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The subject property is improved with a 2,592 square -foot one -story, single - family residence that was constructed in 1956. The zoning is R -0, First One - Family. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 26,400 square -foot lot zoned R -O & D. An aerial photo of the area and photos of the subject property are attached. The subject property is currently improved with a 2,592 square -foot, two -story residence with an attached two -car garage, a detached two -car carport, and a swimming pool. On April 19, 2012, the ARB denied a design review for a new 7,833 square -foot, two -story residence. The ARB Findings and Action Report, and Minutes of the hearing are attached. The design review was denied based on findings that the overall proposal does not meet the design requirements as stated in the attached City Council Resolution No. 6770 in regards to mass, scale, compatibility, and streetscape. Mr. Robert Tong, the designer and his client, the property owner do not agree with the ARB's decision and filed an appeal on April 25, 2012. The appeal letter and its exhibits are attached. PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION Public hearing notices of this appeal were mailed on May 11, 2012 to the owners of those properties within the required notification area — see the attached notification area map. Notices were also sent to the Santa Anita Oaks HOA President and ARB Chairman. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a new single - family residence is categorically exempt per Section 15303 for new construction of small structures, and therefore, the notice was not published in a local newspaper. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The appellant is requesting that the Planning Commission overturn the ARB denial of the proposed two -story residence for the property at 1101 San Carlos Road. The proposed new residence will have 7,833 square feet of living area, 1,028 square -feet of porches, a 339 square -foot outdoor BBQ area, and a 956 square -foot, three -car, attached garage. As stated in the appeal letter, the appellant believes that the proposed two -story residence is designed in accordance with both the City's Single - Family Residential Design Guidelines, and City Council Resolution No. 6770, which establishes the HOA's design review regulations, procedures and criteria. The appellant describes the proposed architectural style as Spanish Colonial Revival featuring a low -pitch (3.5:12) "Corona Del Mar Blend" concrete roof tile, a smooth stucco finish in "Heritage Beige ", small porches and balconies, wood HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 2 shutters, wood -frame windows and doors with aluminum cladding, and decorative wrought iron railings. Most of the existing mature trees will be preserved, including the proposed relocation of a 28" diameter olive tree in the front yard area. In addition, the proposed new landscaping includes three (3) 48" -box olive trees that will be planted in the front and street side yard areas, five (5) 36" -box Queen Palm and Forest Pansy Redbud trees, and seven (7) 24" -box Firewheel and Mediterranean Fan Palm trees. The ARB of the Santa Anita Oaks HOA states that the design of the proposed two -story house is excessive in mass, and is not harmonious with the other homes in the neighborhood and vicinity. The ARB presented its analysis at their public hearing on April 19, 2012. Their materials include a square- footage comparison of the houses on San Carlos Road, and three - dimensional modeling to illustrate the mass of the proposed new residence compared to the two adjacent homes. The materials show that the homes along San Carlos Road have an average size of 2,933 square feet, and the three - dimensional modeling shows that the proposed new house will be substantially larger than the adjacent homes. The ARB found the proposal to be inconsistent with the standards set forth in Resolution No. 6770. The ARB received six pieces of correspondence regarding the proposal. There were five objections to the project, and one statement in favor. Those that object to the proposal express concerns about the mass and bulk of the proposed new residence. The supporting statement said that the proposal is appropriate given the size of the lot. The supporter's home is also located in the Santa Anita Oaks area and has approximately the same square footage on approximately the same size lot. Santa Anita Oaks HOA Standards The Santa Anita Oaks HOA design standards are established in City Council Resolution No. 6770, which states the following: It is determined that each building or structure and its landscaping and hardscape on properties within each area should exhibit a consistent and cohesive architectural style, and be harmonious and compatible with other neighborhood structures in architectural style, scale, visual massing, height, width and length, and setbacks in relationship to site contours and architectural elements such as texture, color and building materials. To promote harmony and compatibility is not to promote sameness, uniformity, a specific architectural style, or a certain time period. It is acknowledged that architecture (and neighborhoods in general) evolve and change over time and this will be considered through the review process. HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 3 The Resolution also sets forth standards and conditions that are to be imposed upon the properties in each of the HOAs. The following conditions are imposed pursuant to the City's zoning regulations: • SITE PLANNING. The location, configuration, and design of new buildings and structures, or the alteration or enlargement of existing structures, should be visually harmonious with their sites and compatible with the character and quality of the surroundings. The height and bulk of proposed dwellings and structures on the site should be in scale and in proportion with the height and bulk of dwellings and structures on surrounding sites. Alternatively, projects should incorporate design measures to adequately mitigate scale differences. • STREETSCAPE. The developed subject property, when viewed from the street, should blend and be harmonious with the other structures and landscaping on the street. This includes and is not limited to setbacks, structural mass and scale, height, roof forms, facades, entries, building materials and everything that can be seen from the street. Each neighborhood or street has an established streetscape that defines its character. Streetscape characteristics should be considered by new projects. • FLOOR AREA. The space contained within the boundaries of the property, including any open porch, open entry, balcony, covered patio, trellis, or garage, whether or not it is an integral part of the dwelling, shall NOT be considered in computing the square footage contained in any such building as measured from the outer faces of the exterior walls in computing the required minimum floor area of a dwelling. For the Santa Anita Oaks HOA, 2,000 square feet of ground floor area, except 1,800 square feet in Tracts 14656, 13544 & 10617, in which no one - family dwelling shall be erected or permitted which contains Tess than 1,800 square feet of ground floor area. • FRONT YARD. If a dwelling with a larger front yard than the minimum required by the underlying zone designation exists on a lot on either side of the subject property, the ARB shall have the authority to require a front yard setback for the subject property equal to at least an average of the two adjacent front yards. The Santa Anita Oaks HOA requires a minimum sixty -five (65) feet from the front property line, except that Tract 13544 shall be not less than sixty (60) feet, Tracts 13345. & 11013 shall not be less than fifty -five (55) feet, and Tract 14656 shall not be Tess than fifty (50) feet • SIDE YARD. 10% of lot frontage, arid not less than 10 feet. HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 4 • EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS. Materials used on the exterior of any structure, including without limitation, roofing, and walls or fences greater than 2 feet above the lowest adjacent grade, shall be compatible with the materials of other structures on the same lot and with the other structures in the neighborhood.. • EXTERIOR BUILDING APPEARANCE. The appearance of any structure, including roofs, walls or fences shall be compatible with existing structures, roofing, walls or fences in the neighborhood, inclusive of landscape and hardscape. • AFFECT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD. The impacts on adjacent properties shall be addressed, including impacts on privacy and views. First story and second story elements should be designed and articulated to reasonably address these issues, and windows and balconies shall be located to reasonably protect privacy and views of surrounding homes and yards City Council Resolution No. 6770 also sets forth that any body hearing an appeal of an ARB decision shall be guided by the following principles: • Control of architectural appearance and use of materials shall not be so exercised that individual initiative is stifled in creating the appearance of external features of any particular structure, building, fence, wall or roof, except to the extent necessary to establish contemporary accepted standards of harmony and compatibility acceptable to the ARB or the body hearing an appeal in order to avoid that which is excessive, garish, and substantially unrelated to the neighborhood. • Good architectural character is based upon the principles of harmony and proportion in the elements of the structure as well as the relationship of such principles to adjacent structures and other structures in the neighborhood. • A poorly designed external appearance of a structure, wall, fence, or roof, can be detrimental to the use and enjoyment and value of adjacent property and neighborhood. • A good relationship between adjacent front yards increases the value of properties and makes the use of both properties more enjoyable. HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 5 Zoning Regulations The City's zoning regulations allow the subject property to have two stories and an overall building height of 30 feet. The setback and lot coverage regulations are as follows: Front Yard: Interior Side Yard: (North Side) Street Side Yard: (South Side) Special Setback: Rear Yard: Lot Coverage: 55' -8" based on the average of the two adjacent lots and a 30- degree plane projected from ground level at the front property line First floor: 13' -0" based on 10% of the lot width Second floor: 26' -0" based on 20% of the lot width First floor: 25' -0" Second floor: 26' -0" based on 20% of the lot width, and a 40- degree plane projected from the ground level at the street side property line 90' -0" from the centerline of Foothill Blvd. or 50' -0" from the street side property line 35' -0" 9,240 square feet of ground area based on the maximum allowance of 35% for a two -story residence The zoning regulations allow for a much larger residence than the proposed design. The maximum 35% lot coverage limit for the subject 26,400 square -foot lot allows for about an 8,500 square -foot first floor, and potentially a second floor of nearly the same size, which could result in 15,000 square feet of living area. Concurrent with the appeal, the applicant is requesting a Modification for a 29' -7" street side yard setback in lieu of the 50' -0" special setback from Foothill Blvd. The intent of the special setback is to allow for potential street widening and to provide a consistent setback from the street. Engineering Services has reviewed the subject proposal and determined that the requested special setback encroachment is acceptable. There are no plans envisioned to widen Foothill Blvd. Furthermore, the proposed setback is greater than that of the existing house and of the setback of the residence across San Carlos Road to the east. However, due to the setbacks of the neighboring properties that front on Foothill Boulevard, it is staffs opinion that the street side yard setback should be consistent with the minimum front yard setback of 35' -0" to be consistent with any future new house on the adjacent property. A revised design should be presented to the Planning Commission with a 35' -0" street side yard setback for consideration at a future meeting. HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 6 Single- Familv Design Guidelines The City's Single - Family Residential Design Guidelines are attached. Massing is discussed on page 9 and begins with the statement that, "The Zoning Code allows a certain building envelope for each site. Proper design is often needed to soften and refine that envelope" and is followed by these guidelines: 1. New dwellings and additions should be compatible in mass and scale to surrounding buildings in the neighborhood and with the natural site features. 2. Design elements such as eave overhangs, textured wall materials, recessed windows and door openings, ornamental details, and landscaping are encouraged for visual interest and to help reduce the impact of building scale. 3. All sides of a structure, including those that are not visible from the street, should have adequate wall and roof articulation to minimize the building's visual impact. 4. The building base should visually anchor the building by appearing more massive than the upper stories. 5. The upper story of a house should exhibit a lighter character than the base, possibly by reducing floor area and building mass. The second floor should generally step back from the ground floor. 6. Cantilevered forms are generally discouraged, particularly when they are used without aesthetic justification. 7. Building elements that emphasize a structure's verticality are generally discouraged. 8. On corner Tots, wall planes facing the street should be varied and articulated into modules that reduce the overall massing and scale. Architectural projections or indentations should be provided to avoid an uninterrupted flat wall. 9. Incorporating trellises, pergolas, covered patios, and other similar features can help break up the mass of a large two -story structure and are encouraged, provided that they complement the architectural style of the house. While it is readily apparent that the proposed new residence will be substantially larger than the existing homes on the adjacent properties, it is not as large as what is allowed by the zoning regulations, and could end up being smaller than HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 7 what might be built next door. And, in looking beyond the adjacent properties, there are several homes nearby that are larger. Staff finds that the proposed design is architecturally consistent with the City's design guidelines. Although the subject proposal is much larger than the adjacent homes, it incorporates appropriate modulation, such as refined porches and balconies. And, to protect the privacy of the neighbors, the north side of the second floor has only four (4) windows, and they are small openings of up to 2' by 3'/2' in size. Also, the proposed rear yard (west) setback is approximately 66'. The zoning requires only a 35' setback. A new house on this lot could be 31' closer to the westerly neighbor. Oak Tree Encroachment Permit There are no oak trees on the subject property; however, there are two (2) mature oak trees that overhang the property. Tree #1 is an 18" diameter Engelmann oak tree located in the parkway area near the southeast corner of the property, and tree #2 is a 32" diameter Engelmann oak tree located on the adjacent property to the north. These trees will be encroached upon by perimeter fencing and landscaping. A certified arborist, Mr. Michael Crane, evaluated the subject proposal and its potential impacts on the trees and concluded that no significant roots should be encountered and no pruning of the live crowns is required. The arborist's report is attached. Mr. Crane provided the following recommendations to minimize any potential impacts on the trees, and staff recommends incorporating them as conditions of approval: • Prior to demolition the contractor and consulting arborist shall meet on site to make sure the fence is properly placed and installed and to review the goals for the tree protection plan. • Maintain the protective fence throughout the completion of the project. No staging of materials or equipment or washing -out is to occur within the fenced protected zone. • All demolition, excavation or grading within the dripline of the Protected Trees shall be done with hand tools and monitored by a consulting, certified arborist. • Vegetation removal and ground preparation near Tree #1 shall be done with hand tools and no rototilling or significant soil cultivation is to occur. • Supplemental irrigation will be required during construction. Monthly monitoring visits by the consulting certified arborist will include soil moisture evaluation. HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 8 • The best management practices referenced in the report shall be utilized to protect the subject trees. CODE REQUIREMENTS The proposed project is required to comply with all zoning requirements, with or without Modifications, and through plan check will be required to comply with all other applicable code requirements and policies as determined by the Building Official, City Engineer, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Appeal No. HOA 12- 01 to overturn the ARB denial, and approve the proposed design, Modification No. MA 12 -22, and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 12 -15, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. The proposed design shall be revised to provide a minimum 35' -0" setback from the southerly street side property line and the revised design shall be subject to the Planning Commission's approval. 2. The applicant shall comply with the aforementioned recommen- dations from the certified arborist. 3. A certified arborist shall provide a written follow -up report to Planning Services to verify fulfillment of the conditions of approval prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Approval If the Planning Commission intends to approve the appeal and the proposed project, the Commission should move to approve Appeal No. HOA 12 -01, Modification No. MA 12 -22, and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 12 -15, and state that the proposed project is consistent with the City's design guidelines, City Council Resolution No. 6770, and is harmonious and compatible with the neighborhood, is of good architectural character, and will not be detrimental to the use and enjoyment and value of adjacent properties and the neighborhood. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny the appeal and the proposed project, the Commission should move to deny Appeal No. HOA 12 -01, Modification No. MA 12 -22, and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 12 -15, and state that the proposed project is not consistent with the City's design guidelines, City Council Resolution No. 6770, and does not meet the accepted standards of HOA Appeal No. HOA 12 -01 1101 San Carlos Road May 22, 2012 — page 9 harmony and compatibility with the neighborhood, is of poor architectural character, or will be detrimental to the use, enjoyment or value of adjacent properties or the neighborhood.

A. STANDARDS FOR ARB DECISIONS AND APPEALS — The ARB and any body hearing an appeal from the ARB's decision shall be guided by the following principles: 1. Control of architectural appearance and use of materials shall not be so exercised that individual initiative is stifled in creating the appearance of external features of any particular structure, building, fence, wall or roof, except to the extent necessary to establish contemporary accepted standards of harmony and compatibility acceptable to the ARB or the body hearing an appeal in order to avoid that which is excessive, garish, and substantially unrelated to the neighborhood. 2. Good architectural character is based upon the principles of harmony and proportion in the elements of the structure as well as the relationship of such principles to adjacent structures and other structures in the neighborhood. 3. A poorly designed external appearance of a structure, wall, fence, or roof, can be detrimental to the use and enjoyment and value of adjacent property and neighborhood. 4. A good relationship between adjacent front yards increases the value of properties and makes the use of both properties more enjoyable. SECTION 7. The City Council finds and determines that the public health, safety and general welfare of the community require the adoption of this Resolution. It is determined that the various land use controls, and property regulations as set forth herein are substantially related to maintenance of Arcadia's environment, for the 14 purpose of assuring that the appearance of structures will be compatible and harmonious with the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties. Design controls and aesthetic considerations will help maintain the beauty of the community, protect property values, and help assure protection from deterioration, blight, and unattractiveness, all of which can have a negative impact on the environment of the community, affecting property values, and the quality of life which is characteristic of Arcadia. It is further determined that the purpose and function of this Resolution is consistent with the history of the City and continued efforts through various means to maintain the City's land use, environmental, and economic goals and to assure perpetuation of both the psychological benefits and economic interests concomitant to an attractive, well maintained community with emphasis on residential living. All findings and statements of purpose in related resolutions which pre- existed this Resolution or prior covenants, conditions, and restrictions constitute part of the rationale for this Resolution and are incorporated by reference. SECTION 8. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof be declared invalid. 15 SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. Passed, approved and adopted this 3rd day of January, 2012. ATTEST: City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: 44s4-ce Stephen P.

The denial is based on ARB's findings (see Attached Architectural Review Board Findings and Actions).File No: 1101 SC. I do not agree with the ARB's decision in the findings. This proposed house is designed based on both the Arcadia design guidelines for single family residence and Resolution No. 6770 which was approved and adopted by the City. In fact, this proposed residence is significantly smaller in size than the maximum allowed per City code requirement.

Arcadia to be the consulting arborist for the planned redevelopment of the property located at 1101 San Carlos Rd., Arcadia. There is a Protected Tree located on site and one encroaching over the property from the neighboring property. The proposed construction may impact the trees and this report will serve to both notify the City of Arcadia Planning Department of the extent of the potential impacts as well as to inform the builder of the proper protection measures which must be taken in order to preserve it. As part of my preparation for this report I made a site visit to the property on May 4, 2012. I met with Mr. Tong at that time to view and discuss the proposed construction plans as they relate to the preservation of the Protected Tree. 1 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 PROJECT LOCATION, DESCRIPTION & TREE ORDINANCE 4'a Da F0 : . B d The property is located at 1101 San Carlos Road in the City of Arcadia. It is at the northwest corner of Foothill Blvd and San Carlos Rd. Above map courtesy of Mapquest. corn. The property consists of a single family residence which appears to be in fair condition. The existing residence will be demolished and a new home built in its place. The footprint of the new home will larger than that of the existing house and will be two stories. The home's footprint will not encroach within the dripline and pruning of the live crown will not be required to accommodate the design of the roofline. The landscape on the property is in poor condition and will be redesigned. A block wall fence will be constructed within the dripline of the off -site Protected Tree but will not encroach within the Tree Protected Zone (TPZ) which is calculated from the trunk diameter. A wrought iron fence set on concrete pilasters will be built within the street tree oak, but this too will not encroach within the determine TPZ. Irrigation, landscape lighting and new plants will be installed near the tree as well. Aerial view on the next page (courtesy of Google maps) shows the approximate property lines and locations of Protected Trees. 2 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 This aerial view (courtesy of Google Maps) has been illustrated to show the approximate boundary lines (orange). The driplines of the Protected Trees are outlined in yellow. City of Arcadia Tree Ordinance and Santa Anita Oaks Homeowner's Association Resolution On January 21, 1992 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1962 recognizing oak trees as significant aesthetic and ecological resources and establishing criteria for the preservation of oak trees. The regulations (Chapter 7 of the Arcadia Municipal Code) provide that the following oak trees shall not be removed, relocated, damaged, or have their protected zones encroached upon unless an Oak Tree Permit is granted. Engelmann Oaks (Quercus engelmannii) or Coast Live Oak, California Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) which have a trunk diameter larger than four (4) inches measured at a point four and one half (4 1/2) feet above the crown root, or, two (2) or more trunks measuring three (3) inches each or greater in diameter, measured at a point four and one half (4 'A) feet above the crown root. Any other living oak tree with a trunk diameter larger than twelve (12) inches measured at a point four and one half (4 'A) feet above the crown root, or, two (2) or more trunks measuring ten (10) inches each or greater in diameter measured a t a point four and one half (4 1/2) feet above the crown root. 3 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 OBSERVATIONS & ANALYSIS Refer to Site Plan located in pocket at back of this report, matrix on page 5, and Photos in Appendix A, page 7 Individual Protected Trees- encroachments and impacts Tree # 1: Engelmann oak - 18" DBH: Located in the front yard right -of -way setback area. Encroachments will be from landscape elements such as irrigation, lighting, etc.; The use of drip type irrigation will eliminate the requirement of excavation and all irrigation and lighting wires can be routed well clear of the trunk. Existing groundcover ivy growing on the root collar and trunk will be removed and drought tolerant plants appropriate for use under native oaks will be installed. Existing low block walls with continuous footings will remain near the tree and a wrought iron fence set on concrete pilasters will be built ten feet from the trunk but beyond the existing walls. The wrought iron fence is expected to cause little or no impact and all potential impacts will occur from clearing of the existing vegetation and landscape renovations, but impacts can be minimized to a tolerable 1 No significant roots are expected to be encountered and no pruning of the live crown is required. Tree # 2: Engelmann oak - 32" DBH: Located off -site on the property directly to the north Encroachment will occur from the construction of a new property line fence. The property line fence will be built as a block wall with a continuous footing and will come as close as 20 feet from the trunk. This distance is well beyond a typical TPZ which can be determined by multiplying the trunk diameter by five if excavation is to occur on only one side which will be the case for this project. Using this formula an adequate TPZ is the area 14 feet from the trunk. No significant roots are expected to be encountered and no pruning of the live crown is required.

Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 FINDINGS As with many construction projects, soil compaction is the most preventable impact that will need to be monitored in order to provide reliable protection and long -term preservation of the tree. Roots are distributed in the top several inches of soil. It is important to keep in mind that they require air just as much as they require water and nutrients for proper growth and survival. Compaction of the pore or air space in the soil eliminates the soil's structure and it's conduciveness for root growth. To prevent unnecessary soil compaction a protective fence must be installed around the Protected Tree before any demolition occurs. The goal is to enclose the largest possible amount of space underneath the tree so that the heavy equipment required for demolition and construction can be routed away from root zone. The recommended fence placement is drawn in a dashed line on the Site Plan of this report. Refer to the Construction Impacts and Guidelines provided in Appendix B for important general preservation measures concerning the different elements of this project. FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS • Prior to demolition the contractor and consulting arborist shall meet on site to make sure the fence is properly placed and installed and to review the goals for the tree protection plan. The location of the protective fence is drawn with a dashed line on the Site Plan included in this report. • Maintain the fence throughout the completion of the project. No staging of materials or equipment or washing -out is to occur within the fenced protected zone. • All demolition, excavation or grading within the dripline of the Protected Tree shall be done with hand tools and monitored by the consulting arborist. Note that the dripline is larger than the fenced protection zone. • Vegetation removal and ground preparation near Tree #1 shall be done with hand tools and no rototilling or significant soil cultivation is to occur. • Supplemental irrigation will be required during construction. Monthly monitoring visits by the consultant will include soil moisture evaluation • Refer to Protected Tree Construction Impact Guidelines in Appendix B of this report for detailed information regarding the best management practices for tree preservation. 6 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd.

May 2012 APPENDIX B - Protected Tree Construction Impact Guidelines Size and Distribution of Tree Roots — Taken from Arboriculture, Integrated Management of Landscape Trees Shrubs and Vines. Harris, R.W., Clark, J.W., Matheny N.P. Prentice Hall 2004. Roots of most plants, including large trees, grow primarily in the top meter (3 ft) of soil (see figure below). Most plants concentrate the majority of their small absorbing roots in the upper 150 mm (6 in.) of soil if the surface is protected by a mulch or forest litter. In the absence of a protective mulch, exposed bare soil can become so hot near the surface that roots do not grow in the upper 200 to 250 mm (8 to 10 in.). Under forest and many landscape situations, however, soil near the surface is most favorable for root growth. In addition, roots tend to grow at about the same soil depth regardless of the slope of the soil surface. Although root growth is greatly influenced by soil conditions, individual roots seem to have an inherent guidance mechanism. Large roots with vigorous tips usually grow horizontally. Similar roots lateral to the large roots grow at many angles to the vertical, and some grow up into the surface soil. However, few roots in a root system actually grow down. FIGURE In mature trees, the taproot is either lost or reduced in size. The vast majority of the root system is composed of horizontally oriented lateral roots. 9 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 The importance of soil Soil supports and anchors tree roots and provides water, minerals and oxygen. Furthermore, soil is a habitat for soil microorganisms that enhance root function. A soil's ability to sustain tree growth is largely determined by aeration, and s structure microbe abundance organic matter, water and mineral content, salinity, and diversity. Soil physical properties Soil texture — the relative proportion of sand, silt and clay, is important because it affects water — and nutrient- holding capacity, drainage and aeration (gaseous diffusion). The net structure is the arrangement of individual etween the aggregates hich �rve as channels result is the formulation of larger voids for gaseous diffusion, movement of water and root penetration. Unfortunately, soil aggregates are readily destroyed by activities that compact the soil (increase bulk density). When this occurs, gaseous exchange, permeability, drainage and root growth are restricted. The influence of the organic matter content of soil properties is quiet significant. Its decomposition by soil organisms releases substances that bind soil particles into larger granules, which improves both soil aeration, and drainage. In essence, the breakdown of organic matter improves water — and nutrient- holding capacity and reduces bulk density. Furthermore, it is the primary source of nitrogen and a major source of nitrogen and a major source of phosphorus and sulfur. Without t soil would catter soil organisms could not survive and most biochemical processe s Soil aeration, the movement and the availability of oxygen, is determined by both soil texture and structure. In general, compacted and finer soils, due to a higher proportion of small pore spaces (micropores), tend to drain slowly all pores displaces oxygenerand sandy, or well - structured find soils. Water retained in the inhibits gaseous diffusion. The availability of soil water is largely determined by the size of the pore spaces between the soil particles and the larger aggregates in which water is held. Most of the water in the larger pore spaces drains readily due to gravitational forces. A relatively thin film of water, which is readily available to plant roots, es'sts uptake by plant roots because it it s held water held within the smaller pore spaces P tightly on the soil surfaces. Plant roots require an adequate supply of oxygen for development. Injury or dysfunction results when oxygen availability drops below a critical level. Root respiration is the first process to be restricted, followed by disruptions in growth, metabolism, nutrient and water uptake, and photosynthesis. Furthermore, the accumulation of high levels of carbon dioxide, produced by the roots during respiration can also impair root function. Reduced soil aeration resulting from soil compaction, flooding, excess irrigation, or 10 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 impervious pavement favors the development of crown rot (Phytophthora root disease). It also inhibits mycorrhizal fungi that enhance water and nutrient uptake and resist root pathogens. The forest floor under a canopy in most undeveloped forests and woodland settings is typically covered by a layer of fallen leaves and other woody debris. It is usually cool, shady, well- aerated, and relatively moist — conditions that favor normal root growth. When the natural leaf litter is removed and when a tree's lower canopy is pruned up to provide clearance, the absorbing roots in the upper few inches of the soil experience higher soil temperatures and increased desiccation due to direct exposure to sunlight. Minimizing the Effects of Construction and Development on Tree Root Systems Activities that injure roots or adversely affect the root zone should be avoided or kept as far from the trunk as possible. Design changes or alternative building practices that avoid or minimize construction - related impacts should be considered and proposed when applicable. Soil Compaction Soils are intentionally compacted under structures, sidewalks, reads, parking areas, and load - bearing fill to prevent subsidence, and to prevent soil movement on slopes. Although unintentional, soil within the root zone of trees is often compacted by unrestricted foot traffic, parking of vehicles, operation of heavy equipment, and during installation of fill. Compaction destroys the soil's natural porosity by eliminating much of the air space contained within it. It leaves the soil hardm impenetrable and largely unfavorable for root growth. The soil's natural porosity, which allows for water movement and storage, gaseous exchange, and root penetration, is greatly reduced. Consequently, root growth and tree health suffer. Soil compaction is best managed by preventing it. Bulk density is used to describe a soil's porosity, or the amount of space between soil particles and aggregates. High bulk densities indicate a low percentage of total pore space. Pavement Paving over the root systems of trees is another serious problem because it reduces the gaseous diffusion and soil moisture. Most paving materials are relatively impervious to water penetration and typically divert water away from a tree's root zone. Cracks and expansion joints do, though, allow for some water infiltration into the soil below. Of greater concern, is the loss of roots from excavation to achieve the required grade, and the necessary compaction to prevent subsidence. Once the soil surface is compacted, a base material is then added and compacted as well. With that done, the surface can then be paved. Thus, pavement within the root zone of trees can damage roots and create unfavorable soil conditions. One alternative to minimize pavement impacts is to consider placing the pavement on the natural grade over a layer of minimally compacted base 11 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 material. To reduce sub -grade compaction, consider using reinforced concrete or asphalt over a goetextile blanket to help stabilize the soil. On -grade patios or paving that covers more than one -third of the tree protection zone (TPZ) should be constructed using permeable materials that allow aeration and water penetration. Soil inder permeable surfaces should not be compacted to more than 80 percent. Excavation and root pruning Excavation within the root zones of trees should be avoided as much as possible. The extent of root pruning (selective) or cutting (non - selective) should be based on the species growth characteristics and adaptive traits, environmental conditions, age, health, crown size, density, live crown ration and structural condition of the tree. The timing of the root pruning or cutting is another important consideration. Moderate to severe root loss during droughts or particularly hot periods can cause serious water - deficit injury or death. When root pruning/ cutting is unavoidable, roots should be pruned or cut as far from the trunk as possible. Cutting roots on more than one side of a tree should also be avoided. Root cutting extending more than half -way around a tree should generally be no closer than about 10 times the trunk diameter. Recommended distances range from as little as 6 times trunk diameter (DBH) for young trees to 12 times trunk diameter for mature trees. The size of the TPZ should, however, be increased for over mature and declining trees and species that are sensitive to root loss. The minimum distance from the trunk that roots can be cut on one side of the tree without destabilizing it, is a distance equal to about three times the diameter (DBH) of the trunk. Roots severed within that distance provide little or no structural support. Root pruning or cutting distances from the trunk should be greater for trees that lean and/ or those growing on shallow or wet soil. In cases where the proposed grading will adversely affect trees designated for retention, special attention should be given to proper root pruning and post - construction care for injured trees. Where structural footings are required for foundations, retaining walls, etc., and roots larger than 2 inches in diameter will be impacted, consider design changes or alternative building methods. When excavation within 5 times trunk diameter is unavoidable, roots greater than 1 inches in diameter should be located prior to excavation and then pruned to avoid unnecessary damage. Hand - digging or use of a hydraulic or pneumatic soil excavation tool is the least disruptive way to locate roots for pruning. Although mechanical root pruners make clean cuts, they are non - selective. A backhoe bucket, dozer blade or trencher will typically pull, rip or shatter the larger root, causing additional damage toward the tree. Once the roots that interfere with the structure being built, e.g., foundations, footings, retaining wall, curbs, etc., are exposed, they should then be cut perpendicular to their long axis using a hand -saw, `carbide- tipped chainsaw' or sharp ax, depending on size. Roots that are pruned in this manner typically regenerate new roots from near the cut. Roots exposed by excavation should be protected from exposure to 12 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 sun and desiccation. Exposed roots that can not be covered with soil by the end of the day should be covered with moistened burlap or similar material. Roots can generally be cut in a non - selective manner when excavating near of beyond the dripline. Ripped, splintered or fractured portions of roots however, should be re -cut. The damaged portion should be removed using sharp tools. The cut should be flat across the root with the adjacent bark intact. Wound dressings should not be applied to pruned or damaged roots except when recommended for disease, insect or sprout control. The best approach to avoid water - deficit injury following root loss during the growing season is to provide ample irrigation. Irrigation should be considered prior to, during, and after root pruning. Watering schedules should also consider local soil conditions, climate, topography, time of year, species adaptability, extent of root pruning and tree health. If possible, irrigate the tree 7 to 10 days prior to excavation so that there is an adequate reservoir of soil water. Water can be delivered to large construction sites via water -tank trucks and applied directly to affected trees or stored nearby in plastic tanks. On relatively flat terrain, a 6 to 8 inch soil berm at the tree's dripline should be constructed to act as a watering basin. On steep terrain, soaker hoses should be used. They can be placed across the slope or spirally around the trunk, from about six feet away to the dripline. In addition, a two to four inch layer of wood chip mulch should be applied to as much of the root zone as possible to retard soil water loss. Pruning foliage to compensate for root loss is not supported by scientific research and likely to result in slower recovery. Fertilization to stimulate root growth is generally unwarranted and may be counterproductive. Trenching within the Tree Protection Zone Trenching for underground utilities should be routed around the TPZ. When this is unavoidable, trenching within the TPZ should be done by `hand' or using a pneumatic or hydraulic soil excavation tool, carefully working around larger roots. Roots larger than 1 '/2 inches in diameter should not be cut. Dig below these roots to route utilities or install drains. A combination of tools can also produce satisfactory results, for example, a skillful backhoe operator under the arborist's supervision can dig down several inches at a time and detect larger roots by `feel' (resistance). At that point, as assistant can expose the root and dig around it. In this manner, the backhoe can then continue extending the trench though the TPZ. Tunneling (boring) through the TPZ is the preferable alternative. For most large trees, tunneling depth should be at least 36 inches. Tunneling should begin at the edge of the TPZ, but no closer than a distance equal to one foot of clearance for each inch of tree DBH. Tunnels should also be offset to either side of the trunk. For trenching that extends only part way into TPZ, consider trenching radially to the tree trunk, as this is less harmful than tangential trenching. All trenches made within the TPZ should be backfilled as quickly as possible to prevent root and soil desiccation. 13 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd. Arcadia 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. May 2012 Managing Root Injured Trees Root - prunded trees should be monitored for symptoms of water - deficit injury for a specified period following root pruning. Irrigation should be considered prior to, during, and after root pruning. Irrigation schedules should consider local soil conditions, climate, topography, time of year, species tolerance, extent of root pruning and tree health. Grade Change: Fill Soil Fill soil placed within the root zones of trees can have an adverse effect, particularly if the soil is compacted to support a structure or pavement. Soil compaction reduces aeration and water infiltration. Fill soil, die to textural changes, can also prevent water from penetrating the original soil layer below where the roots are. Furthermore, soil placed against the root crown and lower trunk can lead to root disease problems, especially if the soil near the trunk remains moist during the summer from irrigation. Alternatives to placing fills over roots zones shall be considered and proposed as appropriate. 14 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 1101 San Carlos Rd.
