MP 13-16, OAK TREE ENCROACHMENT APPLICATION NO. TRE 13-60 AND SINGLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. SFADR 13-104 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A NEW 7,017 SQUARE- FOOT, TWO-STORY, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 1780 S. SANTA ANITA AVENUE Recommended Action: Find that this project is exempt from CEQA and conditionally approve Modification No. MP 13-16, Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 13-60 and Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-104 SUMMARY Modification Application No. MP 13-16, Oak Tree Encroachment Application No. TRE 13-60, and Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-104 were submitted by the designer, Mr. Robert Tong, for a new 7,017 square-foot, two-story, single-family residence at 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue — see the attached aerial photo, architectural plans, and photos of the subject property. A Modification is required to reduce the front yard setback requirement from 59'-10" to 50 feet, and the Oak Tree Encroachment Permit is for encroachment upon a large Coast Live Oak tree. Staff finds that the subject applications, if approved with conditions, would secure an appropriate improvement to the lot with a new residence that meets the City's Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines. The subject applications and the construction of one single-family residence are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the applications, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Mr. Robert Tong, Designer LOCATION: 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue REQUEST: The following Modification, an Oak Tree Encroachment Permit, and Single-Family Architectural Design Review approval, for a new 7,017 square-foot, two-story, single-family residence: • A 50'-0" front yard setback in lieu of the 59'-10" average of the adjacent properties (AMC Sec. 9252.2.2) SITE AREA: 18,095 square-feet (0.42 acre) FRONTAGE: 77 feet along Santa Anita Avenue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is currently developed with a 1,994 square-foot, one-story, single-family residence that was constructed in 1948 with a 400 square-foot attached garage, an 800 square-foot accessory dwelling unit, and a 300 square-foot detached garage. The site and area are zoned R-1, Second One-Family. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Residential (4 to 6 dwelling units per acre) — The Low Density Residential designation accommodates low-density single-family residential neighborhoods. Development is typified by detached single-family residences on lots 7,200 to 10,000 square feet in size. Permitted uses are limited to single- family residence on a single lot. DISCUSSION The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures on the site to build a new 7,017 square-foot, two-story, single-family residence with three (3) garage parking spaces with a total area of 724 square feet, as shown on the attached architectural plans. The proposed new residence includes five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a home theater, library, and tea room. Modification Request • A 50'-0" front yard setback in lieu of the 59'-10" average of the adjacent properties (AMC Sec. 9252.2.2) This Modification is to allow a 50'-0" front yard setback on Santa Anita Avenue in lieu of the required 59'-10". The R-1 zoning regulations require a minimum front yard setback of 25'-0", or the average of the front yard setbacks of two adjacent neighbors, whichever MP 13-16, THE 13-60, and SFADR 13-104 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue December 10, 2013—Page 2 of 6 is greater. The adjacent neighbors have an average front yard setback of 59'-10", with setbacks of 49'-6" and 70'-2". The intent of the requirement to meet the average of the two adjacent neighbors is to promote a consistent streetscape. The subject property is located on a block developed with ten single-family residential lots that front Santa Anita Avenue. The setbacks range from 32'-8" to 104'-11" with an overall average of approximately 67'-1" — see the attached aerial photo. The Modification is for a portion of a single story, two-car garage that is to be attached to the home by a seven foot wide hallway. The remainder of the home will exceed the average 59'-10" setback requirement. The Modification would also minimize the encroachment on a mature 48-inch diameter Coast Live Oak tree that is incorporated into a front courtyard. The reduced setback will ensure that there will be limited disturbance to the tree's root system which will promote continued health of the tree. Therefore, it is staffs opinion that the proposed 50'-0" front yard setback would not have a negative impact on the streetscape and will secure an appropriate improvement of the lot. Oak Tree Encroachment There is one mature 48-inch diameter Coast Live Oak tree located on the property that would have its canopy encroached upon by the proposed development. The proposed building, walkways, and landscaping will encroach into the protected zone of the Oak tree. The designer, however, proposes that the new house encircle the oak tree and makes it the focal point of a courtyard. The proposal limits impacts to the tree and its root system and will provide a more oak-friendly cultural setting so that the tree can continue to thrive. A Certified Arborist analyzed the development proposal and determined that the proposed encroachments upon the tree will be tolerable, provided that the measures prescribed in the Arborist's Report and Addendum (attached) are followed. Staff has included the Arborist's recommended tree protection measures as conditions of approval. Architectural Design Review Concurrent with the Modification and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit applications, the Planning Commission is to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the architectural design of this proposal. The applicant describes this as a "Santa Barbara" style that includes architectural features such as S-tile roofing, smooth-stucco finished walls, a balcony on the front façade with a black wrought-iron railing, and additional decorative wrought iron details, as shown on the attached architectural plans. The massing and scale of the building is in character with other newer single-family buildings in the vicinity — photos of the site and neighborhood are attached. The architecture and landscaping of the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and consistent with the City's Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines. MP 13-16, THE 13-60, and SFADR 13-104 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue December 10, 2013 — Page 3 of 6 With approval of the subject applications, the proposed development will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Regulations, Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines, and Oak Tree Protection Regulations. All City requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees. The proposed plans have been reviewed by the various City departments and some special conditions of approval are deemed necessary. These are listed as recommended Condition of Approval No. 1 in this staff report. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed project qualifies as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption for New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached to this staff report. PUBLIC NOTICE Public hearing notices for MP 13-16, TRE 13-60 and SFADR 13-104 were mailed on November 27, 2013 to the property owners and tenants of those properties that are located within 100 feet of the subject property—see the attached radius map. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Modification No. MP 13-16, Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 13-60 and Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-104, subject to the following conditions: 1. All City requirements regarding building safety, fire prevention, detection, suppression, emergency access, public right-of-way improvements, parking, water supply and water facilities, sewer facilities, trash reduction and recycling requirements, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) measures shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Fire Marshal, Public Works Services Director and Development Services Director, or their respective designees. Compliance with these requirements is to be determined by having fully detailed construction plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the foregoing City officials and employees, and shall include, but shall not be limited to the following: a) The existing Oak tree shall be protected in place with the protection measures recommended in the Arborist's Protected Tree Report dated November 2013 and addendum dated December 4, 2013. b) The existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk shall be removed and replaced per City of Arcadia Standards. c) The existing driveway approach shall be removed and a new driveway approach shall be constructed per City of Arcadia Standards prior to obtaining final occupancy. MP 13-16, TRE 13-60, and SFADR 13-104 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue December 10, 2013—Page 4 of 6 2. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or condition of approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval or condition of approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter. The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney to represent the City, its officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter. 3. Approval of MP 13-16, TRE 13-60 and SFADR 13-104 shall not take effect until the applicant, and property owner(s) have executed and filed an Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Approval If the Planning Commission intends to approve the project, the Commission should move to approve Modification No. MP 13-16, Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 13-60, and Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-104 based on findings that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), that the proposed design is consistent with the City's Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines, that the proposed oak tree encroachment complies with the City's Oak Tree Preservation Regulations, and that the Modification, subject to the conditions set forth above, or as modified by the Commission, satisfies at least one of the following purposes: 1. That the Modification will secure an appropriate improvement of a lot; 2. That the Modification will prevent an unreasonable hardship; or 3. That the Modification will promote uniformity of development. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this project, the Commission should move to deny Modification No. MP 13-16, Oak Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 13-60, and/or Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-104, based on the evidence presented, and state the reasons why the project does not meet any of the above purposes, and/or that the oak tree encroachment cannot be accommodated, and/or that the design is not consistent with the City's Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines. MP 13-16, TRE 13-60, and SFADR 13-104 1780 S. Santa Anita Avenue December 10, 2013—Page 5 of 6 If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or comments regarding this matter prior to the December 10, 2013 public hearing, please contact Assistant Planner, Jordan Chamberlin by calling (626) 821-4334, or by email at jchamberlin@ci.arcadia.ca.us.

Santa Anita Ave., Arcadia. There is one Protected Tree located on the property. The proposed construction may impact the tree 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 November 5, 2013. 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 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 PROJECT LOCATION, DESCRIPTION & TREE ORDINANCE °W Sir to Anita Ter " et) W Camino Real Ave Carrir7a :eal Ave W Worm*4N W Norman Ave I_N 11) E ran Ave m �3 E Lemon Ave W Lemon Ave I`Letts Ave; 3 ct t to Aster St ,eita Ave t`) 4Y Wtstarla Ave E U. `.+ OarlimereAve' W Lays Flores Ave U7 E L as Flom Ave `p t9) w N41-tor Ave E Aftbur Ave Coyle Ave W ngden Ave E .c io c rn Wlrc,t.: '41 N r>,It�� .tea ta�trr n� n it In —— '' The property is located at 1780 S.

The locations of the Protected Trees are numbered in yellow. City of Arcadia Tree Ordinance 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(41/2)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(41/2) 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(41/2) feet above the crown root, or,two (2) or more trunks measuring ten(10) inches each or greater in diameter measured at a point four and one half(4 'A) feet above the crown root. 3 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 FIELD OBSERVATIONS & DESIGN ANALYSIS Refer to Site Plan located in pocket at back of this report, Tree Characteristics and Health Matrix on page 5, Construction Impacts Matrix on page 6 and Photos in Appendix A, page 8. The subject Protected Tree is a coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia. This is a species that is native to a large portion of California. The tree is multi-trunked, having two leaders, which combined, have a diameter measuring 48 inches at a height of 4 '/z feet above grade. The crown has a symmetrical spread that averages 40 feet. The tree appears to be in good health and condition despite existing unfavorable cultural conditions which include turfgrass and dense vegetation under the dripline and on the root collar. The tree also appears to be growing well despite being very close to the house and its dripline partially covered with pavement. The tree's good health despite all of these unfavorable conditions is an indicator that the soil on site is rich and well- draining, allowing for deep,health rootgrowth,thus limiting the required space required for its survival. The crown has recently been pruned by the developer per my recommendation. The pruning objective was to reduce the crown for safety. Poor"lion's tailing"type pruning had been performed several years ago which compromised the crown form and structure. The latest restorative type pruning was successful and is a major step in the overall restorative process. The design of the new home is to make the oak tree the centerpiece of an interior courtyard. The existing home and hardscape will be removed and open space will be created symmetrically around the trunk. This open space will be approximately 1,500 square feet; which is adequate for the size and spread of the tree; in this deep and fertile soil. 4 ,L02I)13H10/1.0011 2100d X a O -0 8 ¢ 2 o Q000 a- ,4 c o AVD U QOOA b8z bM 2IOOd U H 'IVW DC ION ' �C� ws 0 S < �IOdg�Q DIAU vn 1 .d 5 E"{ ?IOOd w 0 aod2IRAv X c1,-cl ~ ,LNNSH2Id aDviniva - '•" Z LDaSNI 210 asvasia H 1� c a H aS2IVdS X ate; a , 1VIARION o 'c 0 Z lifILVIARIaAO O CA .� .,-x N JNfIOII U O U { .a�; �cu QHSa2IddfS L.n o C—' LNVNI1IOQ-03 1 N ,LNVNIINOQ X O 0 ) , DRLL ASV . 0 �'" e DNJ2IIIAIAS X � ,- (Laad) c cd a ' a � t QYa21dS RovxaAV `' j r- (Laa3) x 2 LHDI�I 11 VIAIIX02IddV c'' 1:t 0. . m (Sm-1ON) . ,,,, ,,..:, a) W 'Hai awl(')IN.MLL d' U pgi'''' '•;14,:: ...

To prevent unnecessary soil compaction a protective fence must be installed around the Protected Trees 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 zones. The recommended fence placements are drawn in dashed lines on the Site Plan of this report. The main haul route for the demolition phase and into most of the construction phase shall be the existing driveway. The design of the interior courtyard has allowed for an adequate amount of soil volume to support the rootmass of the existing tree, allowing it to continue to grow and succeed in the space provided. A conscious effort, along with sturdy Protection Zone fence construction and placement will prevent damage to significant roots and adverse changes to the soil profile. Refer to the Construction Impact Guidelines 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 fences are properly placed and installed and to review the goals for the tree protection plan. The location of the protective fences are drawn with a dashed line on the Site Plan included in this report. • The fenced protection zones may be altered during construction; however, any alterations of the fenced protection zones must be approved by the arborist of record. • 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 driplines of the Protected Tree shall be done with hand tools and monitored by the consulting arborist. • If any injury whatsoever should occur to any Protected or preserved tree, call the consulting arborist immediately. Timeliness is critical to being able to provide the best mitigation treatment for injuries. 7 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protecan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November tion 2013 Pl APPENDIX A—Photos fK G z �tH A t A �4 e'er `� '� X s', �it � � ,a,�� .�,�� xt'' ' ' a ,,yam�^.- ,‘:.+�f ,� „ }-� �"p - '��`'.�" ry,�d�s'a +y y� 'Mr'' aY„ `� }. yy4 I yi 5Y(`Aak^�Fs"" + ,' s '1'4;. f 45 4'' S r Ww+ { Sad 4 t 1 ABOVE: The subject tree looking east from S.

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. • ` . `�. h Depth In It.

Furthermore, soil is a habitat for soil microorganisms that enhance root function. A soil's ability to sustain tree growth is largely determined by its texture, structure (bulk density), organic matter, water and mineral content, salinity, aeration, and soil-microbe abundance 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). Soil structure is the arrangement of individual soil particles into clumps (aggregates). The net result is the formulation of larger voids between the aggregates which serve as channels 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 organic matter soil organisms could not survive and most biochemical processes in the soil would cease. 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 and hold less air than coarser, sandy, or well-structured find soils. Water retained in the small pores displaces oxygen and 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, remains following drainage. Much of water held within the smaller pore spaces resists uptake by plant roots because it is held 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 11 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 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 hard and 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 zones of trees can damage roots and create 12 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 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 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 under 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 1/2 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., 13 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 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 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 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 14 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 made within the TPZ should be backfilled as quickly as possible to prevent root and soil desiccation. Managing Root Injured Trees Root-pruned 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. 15 Protected Tree Report: Survey Encroachment and Protection Plan 1780 S.Santa Anita Ave.,Arcadia CA 91006 Michael Crane,RCA#440.November 2013 �'' 1, r' ` , . gg ` Q o . d '. p z rS� y U .N til .6 et to7.7 y ��DOb{ 5V illit °-1---,,, , ,..; i 6 -,*:- P....,. i': 1111 •ny..

Box 60021 Arcadia, CA 91007 FROM: Michael Crane Project's Arborist of Record: 1780 S. Santa Anita Ave. SUBJECT: Addendum to original Oak Tree Report—Dated November 2013 Additional analysis of landscape design To whom it may concern: This letter is meant to inform you that I have received plans from the landscape architect, Mark Genaro of Landshape, Inc., for the proposed landscape hardscape, irrigation and planting. I have analyzed these plans as they relate to the encroachments of the Protected Oak Tree located in the back yard. My findings are that the encroachment on the Protected Oak Tree is tolerable and the project can be completed without impacting the tree's health or stability. The dripline encroachments will be limited to on-grade or near-grade installation of hardscape and no irrigation will be installed within 15 feet of the trunk. The hardscape impacts are consistent with those that were presented in the Oak Tree Report, which were excavation or grading no deeper than six inches from natural grade. Irrigation, lighting and all other utilities will be installed on-grade. The plant palate that has been drawn is conducive for healthy oaks and no turf or water-needy plants will be planted within the dripline. Please include this letter with my original report for your records. This site plan for the landscape design is attached with this letter. I have informed the contractor that all construction impact guidelines provided in my original report are pertinent to this project. I will be included in all monitoring, including the approval of protective fencing placement prior to commencement of any work. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions regarding the Protected Oak on this project. Sincerely, � s1.
