Home My WebLink AboutItem No. 1 - 2318 Lenta LaneDATE: September 12, 2017 TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission FROM: Lisa L. Flores, Planning/Community Development Administrator By: Jordan Chamberlin, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2002 – APPROVING ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION COMMISSION REVIEW NO. PC AM 17-02, SINGLE FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. SFADR 16-12, AND PROTECTED TREE ENCROACHMENT NO. TRE 17-27 WITH A CLASS 3 AND CLASS 5 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A 2,625 SQUARE-FOOT, FARMHOUSE STYLE, TWO-STORY RESIDENCE AT 2318 LENTA LANE Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2002 SUMMARY The Applicant and designer, Ms. Tingting Lu, is requesting approval of Administrative Modification Commission Review No. PC AM 17-02, Single Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 16-12, and Protected Tree Encroachment No. TRE 17-27 for a 2,625 square foot, two-story, Farmhouse style, single family residence, with an attached two-car garage at 2318 Lenta Lane. The proposed development is consistent with the City’s General Plan and the City’s Development Code with approval of the Administrative Modification. As a new single family residence with a minor alteration in land use limitation, the proposed project qualifies as a Class 3 and Class 5 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2002 (Attachment No. 1) approving PC AM 17-02, SFADR 16-12, and TRE 17-27, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 7,603 square-foot interior lot, zoned R-1 – refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Vicinity. The property is currently improved with a 1,406 square-foot, one-story, Ranch style, single-family residence built in 1953. A Certificate of Demolition was approved on August 9, 2017, for the existing residence. Based on the evaluation by an Architectural Historian, the residence did not meet any of the minimum requirements for recognition as a historical resource nor was it eligible for listing on the California Register because it is a common type and style and is not PC AM 17-02, SFADR 16-12, and TRE 17-27 2318 Lenta Lane September 12, 2017 – Page 2 of 7 associated and significant events or people – refer to Attachment No. 3 for the Historical Report. PROPOSAL The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures on the site to build a new 2,625 square foot, two-story, single family residence, with an attached two-car garage – refer to Attachment No. 4 for the Proposed Architectural Plans. The proposed new residence includes four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bathroom, a living room, dining room, kitchen, foyer, loft, and laundry room. The proposed architectural style is a modern Farmhouse style house. The overall building height is 23’-6” as measured from the average existing grade, whereas a maximum of 30’-0” is permitted by Code. The proposed new residence will have a lot coverage of 32%, which is below the maximum 35% allowed by Code. The total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 2,657 square feet (34.9%) of living area, including 32 square feet of high ceiling area. This is less than the maximum FAR of 3,421 square feet (44.9%) allowed by Code. The Applicant is requesting approval of a Modification to allow three dormer windows on the second floor to encroach into the 30-degree plane measured from the front property line. The proposed improvements will encroach within the dripline area of a protected 24” Bottlebrush tree located in the front yard area. ANALYSIS The R-1 zoning regulations states that no portion of any structure shall encroach through a plane projected from a 30- degree angle as measured at the ground level along the front property line. The Applicant is requesting that the three front facing dormer windows encroach approximately 4’-0” into the encroachment plane. The rest of the house will comply with the 30-degree angle. Figure 1. The westerly facing front elevation of the proposed new residence Figure 2. The south elevation showing the 30-degree plan encroachment PC AM 17-02, SFADR 16-12, and TRE 17-27 2318 Lenta Lane September 12, 2017 – Page 3 of 7 The intent of the requirement to maintain the 30-degree angle is to ensure the massing of the proposed residence along the front property line is appropriate. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of primarily single story residences. To be compatible with the neighborhood, the Applicant selected a Farmhouse architectural style which has a single story appearance. The second floor is hidden by the gable roof; only the three dormers are visible along the front elevation. The dormers provide additional light and ventilation to upper floor and are an architectural feature for the home. The subject lot is narrow with an average lot depth of 84’-2”. With the required front and rear yard setbacks, the remaining buildable area for the second floor is only 24’-2” wide. The gable roof feature further limits the width of the second floor to only 16’-0”. Reducing the width another 4’-0” to comply with the 30-degree angle would make space unusable. Due to the narrow lot width, the second floor cannot be setback or reduced in width to avoid the proposed dormers from encroaching into the 30-degree plane and having the dormers are essential to the design of this house. If the dormers were to comply with the 30-degree plane, the second floor would be narrower and the roofs on the dormers would have to change from a gabled style roof to a hipped roof. While the dormers could comply, the design would not be consistent with the Farmhouse architectural style, nor would it look appropriate in terms of massing. For these reasons, the encroachment is warranted since this style house will blend better with the other one-story homes in this neighborhood. Architectural Style The proposal is for a two-story, Farmhouse design with architectural features that includes second floor dormer windows, a front covered porch, dark grey raised panel shutters, light grey brick veneer, smooth off-white colored stucco, and white wood trim. The second floor is hidden by the gable roof to give the residence a single story appearance. The design blends in well with the other homes on the block, which are comprised of primarily single-story residences. The proposal is consistent with the City’s Single Family Residential Design Guidelines. Protected Tree Encroachment There is a healthy, 24” Bottlebrush tree located in the front yard area. New landscaping and over excavation for the new foundation will encroach into the protected area of the tree. Certified Arborist, Michael Crane, prepared a Protected Tree Report dated June 2017 – refer to Attachment No. 5 for the Protected Tree Report dated June 2017. The Arborist found that with protective measures, the development will not have an adverse impact on the health of the tree. The Arborist recommendations have been included as a condition of approval. The proposed development will be consiste nt with the City’s General Plan and Single Family Residential Design Guidelines. With the approval of the Administrative Modification, the proposed development will also be consistent with the Development Code. All City requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Planning & Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees. PC AM 17-02, SFADR 16-12, and TRE 17-27 2318 Lenta Lane September 12, 2017 – Page 4 of 7 FINDINGS Administrative Modifications Section 9107.05.050 of the Development Code states that the purpose of the Modification procedures is for the following: 1. Secure an appropriate improvement of a lot, 2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship, or 3. Promote uniformity of development. Due to the narrowness of the lot, it would not be appropriate for the second floor to comply with the 30-degree angle. The width of the second floor cannot be reduced either because it is only 16’-0” wide; reducing it another 4’-0” would make the second floor a viable functional space. Although it is a two-story home, the second floor is hidden by the gable roof and only the three dormer windows are visible, which accomplish the same results in terms of the mitigating the mass through the 30-degree plane. Since only the three dormer windows will encroach into the 30-degree angle; the massing of the home is still appropriate for the neighborhood. The home will have a single story appearance which is harmonious with the other single story residences on Lenta Lane. The dormer windows are consistent with the Farmhouse architectural style of the home and are an attractive feature on the home. The Administrative Modification for the 30-degree angle, will prevent and unreasonable hardship for the property owner to develop the lot and secure an appropriate improvement. Architectural Style and Protected Tree Encroachment The massing, scale, quality of design, and the proposed landscaping are consistent or superior to that of other developments in the area. The Farmhouse style architecture will complement the existing single story residences as well as newer developments. The proposal is consistent with the City’s Single Family Residential Design Guidelines. The Arborists found that with protective measures, the development will not have an adverse impact on the health of the protected trees. The protective measures in the Arborists’ report are included as conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed project qualifies as a Class 3 and Class 5 Categorical Exemption for one, single-family residence and minor alterations in land use alterations under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303 and 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 6 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS In accordance with the Single Family Design Review application, on July 25, 2017, the Applicant and property owner sent notices of the proposed development to the property owners located within a 300-foot radius of the subject site. The purpose of the early notification process is to familiarize the surrounding property owners with the details of PC AM 17-02, SFADR 16-12, and TRE 17-27 2318 Lenta Lane September 12, 2017 – Page 5 of 7 the proposed project and for the Applicant to obtain input from interested neighbors early in the development process. The Applicant received one letter of opposition from the neighbor across the street. The neighbor expressed concern regarding the potential loss of privacy from the two-story proposal. Public hearing notices for this item were mailed to the property owners of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property and published in Arcadia Weekly on August 31, 2017. As of September 6, 2017, no additional comments were received in response to this notice.

Pocket at back Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 1 SUMMARY OF DATA BACKGROUND & PURPOSE I was retained by the property owner, Ms. Michelle Lin, to be the consulting arborist for the planned redevelopment of the property located at 2318 Lenta Ln. There are Protected Trees located on the property, in the public right-of-way adjacent to the property, and encroaching over the property from off-site. The proposed construction may impact these trees and this report will serve to both notify the City of Arcadia Planning Division 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 them. As part of my preparation for this report I made a site visit to the property on 2017. I met with Ms. Lin at that time to view and discuss the proposed construction plans as they relate to the preservation of the Protected Trees. I was provided a full-scale site plan of the proposed construction for my analysis.

The locations of the Protected Trees are numbered in yellow. The property consists of a one story single-family residence that appears to be in fair condition. The home will be demolished and the property redeveloped into a two story single family home. The landscape is moderately maintained and the woody plants and trees are in fair to good condition. The Protected Trees appear to be in good health and structural conditions. The landscape will be renovated and the Protected Trees will be incorporated into the new design. 2 N 1 3 4 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 3 City of Arcadia Tree Ordinance Oaks, Sycamore, and many other tree species are Protected under the various tree ordinances. Here is a summary of the tree protection laws. 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 ½) 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 ½) 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 ½) 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 ½) feet above the crown root. On March 3, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2323 amending the code to add Sycamore trees to the list of City's Tree Preservation Regulations. The protected trees are Oak and Sycamore trees. Protected Sycamore trees are defined as: • Plantanus racemosa (Sycamore) with a trunk diameter larger than six (6) inches measured at a point four and one-half (4½) feet above the root crown, or two (2) or more trunks measuring four (4) inches each or greater in diameter, measured at a point four and one-half (4½) feet above the root crown. On August 2, 2016, The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2338 to add additional protected trees and unprotected trees to the City’s tree preservation regulations. In September, the City began protecting mature trees that are located within a required front, side, street-side, or rear yard setback area that are either larger than 12 inches in diameter or larger than 10 inches in diameter if there are multiple trunks. Below is a list of the unprotected trees: 1. Fruit trees 2. Fraxinus uhdei (Shamel Ash) 3. Ficuses – Exception: Ficus macrophylla (Moreton Bay Fig) 4. Eucalyptus 5. Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven) 6. Arecaceae (Palm Tree) 7. Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian Pepper) 8. Ceratonia siliqua (Carob) 9. Betula pendula (European White Birch) 10. Grevillea robusta (Silk Oak) 11. Morus (Mulberry) 12. Acer saccharinum (Silver Maple) 13. Cupressus sempervirens (Italian cypress) 14. Populus Fremontii (Western Cottonwood) 15. Alnus rhombifolia (White Alder) 16. Populus trichocarpa (Black Cottonwood) 17. Populus ‘Highland’ hybrid 18. Salix lasiolepis (Arroyo Willow) 19.

June 2017 4 TREE SURVEY This table lists all oaks and sycamore trees with trunk diameters measuring four inches or greater located on or near the property, as well as all other trees with trunk diameters measuring 12 inches or greater (10 inches or greater for multi trunked specimens) located on or encroaching onto the property. Off-site trees are indicated with an “os” next to their tree numbers. A determination is then provided for the protected status of each tree based on criteria of species, size and location. All street trees or trees in public areas are Protected regardless of species or size. Tree numbers correspond to the tree locations plotted on the site plan included in this report and to all references to each tree in this report. Only Protected Trees have numbered tags affixed to their trunks.

June 2017 5 FIELD OBSERVATIONS & DESIGN ANALYSIS Refer to Site Plan located in pocket at back of this report, Tree Characteristics and Health Matrix on page 6, Construction Impacts Matrix on page 7 and Photos in Appendix A, page 9. Analysis regarding rootzone impacts are based on the type of impact, e.g, soil compaction, grading, and excavation; as well as the distance from the trunk that the impacts will occur. It is commonly accepted among professional arborists that a distance equal to three times a trunks diameter contains the structural roots responsible for keeping the tree upright. This critical rootzone area is defined as the root plate. Beyond the root plate the roots typically taper off into smaller, less significant sizes. These smaller roots are usually two inches in diameter or smaller and make up the rootmass responsible for water and nutrient uptake. Although roots of these sizes can be cut without significantly impacting health and stability it is advised that no more than 30 percent of the rootmass within the dripline is severed. The bulk of the rootmass is located within the top three feet of soil and root growth slows or halts when soil bulk density exceeds 1.60 g/cm3 for most soils. More information regarding rootzone impacts is provided in the Excavation and Root Pruning section of the Construction Impact Guidelines, Appendix B. Tree #1 – 24” Sweetgum: Protected due to its location in the public right-of-way setback area of the front yard. The existing concrete driveway located in the dripline will be replaced within the same footprint, but the new one will be contoured to remain six feet from the trunk, which may reduce the long term risk of infrastructural damage caused by the typically invasive roots of this tree. Typical landscape renovations will encroach. No pruning of the live crown is required to complete the project. Tree #2 – 24” Bottlebrush Tree: Located in the front yard. The trunk is five feet from the existing foundation at the northwest corner of the house. The new foundation will have a further setback and the foundation will come as close as nine feet from the trunk. All required overexcavation for the construction of the building pad could be done within the footprint of the existing foundation, where it is highly unlikely that roots exist. Hardscape attached to the house will be built in the overexcavated area. Typical landscape renovations will encroach. No pruning of the live crown is required to complete the project. Tree #3 – 12” Black Pine: The tree is located just off site on the neighboring property to the south, in the front yard area. The existing driveway located on the boundary line, and within two feet of the trunk, will be removed and replaced. The new driveway will have a much further setback from the tree and will come as close as 11 feet from the trunk. Typical landscape renovations will encroach. No pruning of the live crown is required to complete the project. Tree #4 – 12” Arizona Cypress: The tree is located off-site a few feet from Tree #3, and at a similar distance from the property line. The same encroachments will occur on this tree as with Tree #3. No pruning of the live crown is required to complete the project. Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440.

June 2017 7 This chart includes all Protected Trees that are located on the property and any off-site Protected Native Trees (oaks and sycamores) encroaching on the property. It provides data collected from the analysis of construction plans. The tree has been surveyed and numbers correspond to the Site Plan included in this report. Tree numbers with an “os” indicate that the specimen is located off-site and a portion of the canopy extends over the subject property. For rootzone impacts, the required excavation is considered only for unbuffered areas. Areas that excavation will occur where existing similar infrastructure exists, e.g. overexcavation and compaction in the footprint of existing home foundation, grading for driveway in the footprint of existing driveway, are considered non-encroachments.

June 2017 8 FINDINGS • All required unbuffered excavation will occur on one side of each tree and is at very tolerable distances from the trunks; equal or greater than ten times the trunk diameter. RECOMMENDATIONS 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 trees. 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. • 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. • Tree Protection Zone fences shall be at least four feet tall and constructed of chain link fencing secured on metal posts. • 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 fences throughout the completion of the project. No staging of materials or equipment or washing-out is to occur within the fenced protected zones. • The removal of existing turfgrass and other vegetation near the Protected Trees shall be done by hand. No rototilling or other deep cultivation or grading shall occur within the driplines. • Refer to the Construction Impact Guidelines in Appendix B for important general preservation measures concerning the different elements of this project.

June 2017 12 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.

June 2017 13 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 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 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 14 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 zones of trees can damage roots and create Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 15 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 ½ 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., Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 16 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 ½ 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 Protected Tree Report: Survey, Encroachment and Protection Plan 2318 Lenta Ln., Arcadia, 91006 Michael Crane, RCA #440. June 2017 17 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.
