PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is proposing a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). The RCFE
would consist of two buildings on two adjacent lots that have been designed to function

as a single complex. One building would be for individuals with mild stage
Alzheimer’s/Dementia and the second for individuals with advanced stage
Alzheimer’s/Dementia. The proposed project (including both buildings), would include a
combined total of 78 beds, related support functions (such as food service, pharmacy,
laundry, administration, etc.), 47 parking spaces, landscaping (including removal of some
trees), utility connections, and an extension of Saratoga Creek Drive. The applicant will
need to obtain Design Review approval and a Conditional Use Permit for the project.
BACKGROUND:
The application for the RCFE was submitted in August 2015. At that time, the applicant
was requesting a Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) to add the Planning Combined
District (PC) Overlay Zoning Designation to the project site’s existing Professional and
Administrative Office District (P-A) Zoning Designation. The overlay zoning would
allow for deviation from the zoning regulations for innovative design in development that
achieves one or more specific goals and policies of the General Plan that would otherwise
not be attainable. A Planning Commission Study Session was held on June 7, 2016 where
the Commission reviewed and commented on that application.
Since then, the applicant modified the plans to be consistent with the zoning regulations
and no longer requests a ZOA.
On February 26, 2019 the City held a scoping meeting in preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Comments were received from interested parties.
On January 28, 2020 a Notice of Availably (NOA) was released notifying the public that
the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was available for public review for a
comment period of 30 days.
On February 27, 2020 the City hosted a community meeting to receive comments from
the public on the DEIR. Several interested parties were in attendance and provided
comments on the document. The DEIR comments included concerns about the proposed
use, parking, noise, and traffic. The DEIR concluded that there are no significant impacts
and the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is currently being prepared.
When the proposed project comes before the Planning Commission at a noticed public
hearing, the Planning Commission will need to make the findings for a Conditional Use
Permit from Section 15-55.070 of the City Code and the Design Review Findings from
Section 15-46.040 and certify the EIR.

SUMMARY
THE PROJECT
A two-story senior assisted living building and associated improvements will be constructed on the project site, which is presently two
adjacent vacant lots.
THE TREES & THE PROJECT
There are 14 protected trees1 with driplines that may be within 5 feet of proposed construction. Most of these trees are on neighboring
properties adjacent to the project site. Only 4 of the trees (#1, 11, 12 and 13) are located on the project site. Three trees (coast
live oaks #11, 12 and 13) will need to be removed because they are located within the proposed extension of Saratoga Creek
Drive. These are small trees that have trunk diameters of 7 to 8 inches. Coast live oak #3 has a large decayed area on one of its two
trunks that overhang the site. The trunk overhanging the site should be removed . It should be possible to save all of the other trees
although I have recommended a few design modifications to reduce damage for coast live oak #1 and California sycamore
#9.
Elderberry #3: is not shown on any of the construction plans I received, but is it located between a 40 and 24 -inch sycamore on
adjacent property to the south, and coast live oak #3 on the Topographic Survey, near the southwest corner of Lot 1. This is a sprawling
multi-trunk tree that has split apart and fallen over, with most of its trunks dead. A portion of the tree is still alive (an 8 to 10-inch trunk)
and the tree may overhang (or be lying on) the project site. I recommend that the trunks of the tree, be they living or dead, be cut to
short stumps about 6 inches tall. The shrub/tree will probably regrow from these stumps and provide value for wildlife and e rosion
control above the creek.
All 14 of the trees are described briefly the Summary Tree Table (Table 1) on page 5 and in greater detail in the Complete Tree Table
(Table 3) beginning on page 13. The total estimated value of the 14 trees described in this report is $100,080. The value of trees will be
removed is $4050. The value of trees to remain is $96,030. The amount requested for the tree protection bond is half the amount of the
trees that I estimate will be saved, or $48,015.
1 Protected Tree: a protected tree in Saratoga has a trunk diameter of 6 inches or greater for native tree species or 10 inches in diameter for non-native species.
Trunk diameter is measured at 4.5 feet above the ground. For construction project tree evaluation and arborist reports, any protected tree with its dripline within 5
feet of proposed construction must be addressed.

avoid damaging branches and compacting the soil beneath the canopy. If pruning is necessary in order to avoid branch breakag e,
the general contractor shall hire a qualified tree service2 to perform the minimum necessary construction clearance pruning.
8.Tree Protection Bond: I recommend that half the value of the trees estimated to remain be requested for the bond.
xThe total value of all trees on site or overhanging the site is $100,080.
xThe total value of the trees to be removed is $4,050.
xThe total value of the trees that will remain is $96,030. Half of this value (to be requested for the tree protection bond ) is $48,015.
9.I should review all site-based plans for this project: I have reviewed the plan sheets listed on page 10. Additional improvements on
plans that were not reviewed or have been revised may cause additional trees to be impacted and/or removed. Plans reviewed by
the arborist should be full-size, to-scale and with accurately located tree trunks and canopy driplines relative to proposed
improvements. Scale should be 1:20 or 1:10.
10.As a part of the design process, try to keep improvements (and any additional over-excavation or work area beyond the
improvement) as far from tree trunks and canopies as possible. 5xDBH3 or the dripline of the tree, whichever is greater, should be
used as the minimum distance for any soil disturbance to the edge of the trunk. 3xDBH should be considered the absolute minimum
distance from any disturbance to the tree trunk on one side of the trunk only, for root protection, with a minimum distance of 5 feet.
Farther is better, of course. For disturbances on multiple sides of the trunk, then 5xDBH or greater should be used, and farther is also
EHWWHUKHUH7UHHFDQRSLHVPXVWDOVREHWDNHQLQWRFRQVLGHUDWLRQZKHQGHVLJQLQJDURXQGWUHHV'RQ·WIRUJHWWKHPLQLPXPQHFH ssary
working margin around improvements as you locate those improvements. Disturbance usually comes much clos er to trees than the
lines shown on the plans!
11.Construction or landscaping work done underneath the dripline of existing trees should preferably be done by hand, taking care to
preserve existing roots in undamaged condition as much as possible and cutting roots cleanly by hand when first encountered, when
those roots must be removed. A qualified consulting arborist (the project arborist) should be hired to monitor tree protection and
supervise all work underneath the dripline of trees. This also applies to trees on neighboring properties whose canopies overhang the
work site.
2Terms highlighted at their first occurrence in this report are explained in the Glossary beginning on page 37.
3See pages 24 and 25 for an explanation of the 3 and 5xDBH root protection distances for trees.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Existing trees to be saved or removed should be numbered on all site-based plans to match the tree tag numbers that are used in this
arborist report.
2.Tree Removals: Three trees, #11, 12 and 13 coast live oak will need to be removed because they are within the proposed
entrance roadway into the site. I also recommend removal of one trunk of the multi-trunk coast live oak #3 that is overhanging
the site, because it has significant decay and is likely to fail over the site.
3.Design changes are recommended around coast live oak #3 and California sycamore #9 to reduce construction damage.
Please read about this in the Notes column of the Complete Tree Table.
4.Elderberry #3: this tree is not shown on any of the construction plans I received, but is it located between a 40 and 24-inch
sycamore and coast live oak #3 on the Topographic survey, near the southwest corner of Lot 1. This is a sprawling multi-trunk tree that
has split apart and fallen over, with most of its trunks dead. A portion of the tree is still alive (an 8 to 10-inch trunk) and the tree may
overhang (or be lying on) the project site. I recommend that the trunks of the tree, be they living or dead, be cut to short stumps
about 6 inches tall. The shrub/tree will probably regrow from these stumps and provide value for wildlife and erosion control above
the creek.
5.Story posts should be erected facing the north and west perimeter of Lot 1, in order to verify if any and how much construction
clearance will be required for adjacent trees.
6.For those trees that will be retained on the site or with canopies overhanging the site, follow the City of Saratoga Tree Protection
Requirements, which are included on pages 25 through 27. A separate copy of the Requirements will be provided by City Arborist
Kate Bear and must be incorporated into the project final plans. These Requirements shall replace any tree protection notes,
specifications or other directions (including detail drawings) that are currently included in the plans, for example on sheet s C-2 for
each lot. Kate Bear will also require that a copy of this Arborist Report be included in the project final plans. You may request that I
provide a condensed version of this report for the plans. Additional tree protection information is also available from me if necessary.
7.Neighboring trees: whose canopies overhang the project site and have driplines within 5 feet of any soil disturbance or other
improvements must receive tree protection in the same manner as existing trees to remain on the project site; for example tree
protection fencing and signage. The general contractor shall fence off the dripline of these trees as much as possible in order to

12.Landscaping:
a.New landscaping and irrigation can be as much or more damaging to existing trees than any other type of construction . The
same tree root protection distances recommended for general construction should also be observed for new landscaping.
Within the root protection zone it is usually best to limit landscape changes to a 3 to 4 -inch depth of coarse organic mulch
such as wood or bark chips or tree trimming chippings spread over the soil surface. The environment around existing trees
should be changed very carefully or not at all ² please consult with me regarding changes in the landscape around existing
trees and/or have me review the landscape and irrigation plans for this project.
b.This site contains oaks and other tree species that are native to the immediate area (coast live oak). These tree species fares
best with no irrigation during the normal dry months of the year. The best treatment of the ground ben eath these trees is
nothing but their own natural leaf and twig litter mulch. Exceptions to irrigation restriction include during the winter in
extended drought periods, as temporary compensation for root loss due to construction, and for newly planted tr ees during
their 2 to 3 year establishment period after installation. Native oak species especially are often killed due to inappropriate
landscaping that is installed around them; mostly commonly landscaping that requires frequent irrigation such as lawn s or
other high water-use plants. Large drought tolerant trees such as native oaks can become dangerous when exposed to
frequent irrigation, especially close to their trunks. California native oaks that are treated in this manner may contract root rot
diseases and fall over at the roots; often causing great damage and personal injury I there are targets in their vicinity such as
homes, cars and people. It is important to landscape correctly around our native oaks; e.g. summer dry. I have attached a
publication entitled Living among the Oaks, to assist in best managing the oaks on the property, as well as the directions to
IROORZLQLWHPVCE·DQGCF·EHORZ
c.Around the native oaks: there shall be no planting or irrigation (including drip irrigation) with in a minimum radius of 10 feet
from the trunks of the oaks or the inner half of the dripline of the tree, whichever is greater. Farther is better. Within this 10-foot
(or greater) radius around the trunk a 3 to 4-inch depth of coarse organic mulch such as wood or bark chips or tree trimming
chippings shall be spread over the soil surface. Shredded redwood bark is not allowed. Keep the mulch off the root collar o f
the trees. Beyond this 10-foot (or greater) protective, mulched area only drought -tolerant, summer-dry plant species,
preferably plant species that are native to the immediate area and grow commonly in association with the native oaks, may
be planted. Only summer-dry tolerant plants are allowed within the outer half of the dripline of the tree or 20 feet from the
trunk, whichever is greater. Such plants may be planted from no larger than 1 -gallon cans in holes that are hand-dug
manually with a shovel (no power equipment such as augers allowed). These plants must be spaced sparsely (e.g. plant ed no
closer than 4 feet apart) and watered with drip irrigation. The planting zone around these plants shall be mulched in the sa me

manner previously described. The drip irrigation for these plants should preferably be abandoned after a 2 to 3 year
establishment period.
13.Trees to remain after adjacent trees are removed should be re-evaluated by me or the project arborist after the surrounding trees
have been taken out.
14.General Tree Maintenance:
a.The root collars and lower trunks of some of the trees (e.g. California sycamore #9) were obscured from view by vegetation,
excess soil or other covering. Such portions of the tree should be uncovered and the tree re-evaluated by the arborist.
b.Do no unnecessary pruning, fertilization or other tree work . Pre-construction pruning should be limited to the absolute minimum
required for construction clearance. A qualified tree service should be hired to provide such pruning.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE & USE OF REPORT
This survey and report was required by the City of Saratoga as a part of the building permit process for this project. The purpose of the
report is to identify and describe the existing protected trees that are within or near proposed construction. The audience for this report
is the property owner, developer, project architects and contractors, and City of Saratoga authorities (including the City Arborist, Kate
Bear) concerned with tree preservation and tree removal. The goal of this report is to preserve existing protected trees that are in
acceptable condition, are good species for the area and will fit in well with the proposed new use of the site.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
My first Arborist Report for this project is dated July 27, 2015, based upon my July 23, 2015 tree and site evaluat ion. At that time no
construction plans were available except for a Proposed Site Layout for Lot 1 with no existing trees included. In that first report I
recommended that the existing trees on and adjacent to the site be accurately surveyed and included in the project plans, which has
been done. This second Arborist Report is based upon those plans which I have recently reviewed, which are listed on page 10.

METHODOLOGY
I performed a brief evaluation of the subject trees on July 23, 2015 and again on January 26, 2016. On January 26, 2016 I briefly
rechecked trees #1-10 and performed a complete basic evaluation of trees #11-14. Tree characteristics such as form, weight
distribution, foliage color and density, wounds and indicators of dec ay were noted. Surrounding site conditions were also observed.
Evaluation procedures were taken from:

The above references serve as industry professional standards for tree evaluation and written findings and recommendations for trees on
construction sites prior, during and after site development.
Each of the trees was tagged in the field with metal number tags that correspond with the tree numbers referenced in this report. I
measured the trunk diameter of each tree with a diameter tape at 4.5 feet above the ground (DBH), which is also the required trunk
diameter measurement height of the City of Saratoga. DBH is used calculate tree protection distances and other tree-related factors.
7UXQNGLDPHWHUZDVURXQGHGWRWKHQHDUHVWLQFK,HVWLPDWHGWKHWUHH·VKHLJKWDQGFDQRS\VSUHDG7UHHCondition (structure and vigor)
was evaluated and I also recorded additional notes for trees when significant. Tree species and condition considered in combination
with the current or (if applicable) proposed use of the site yields the Tree Preservation Suitability rating. The more significant trees (or
groups of trees) were photographed with a digital camera. Some of these photos are included in this report, but all photos are available
from me by email if requested.

I have made a few changes to the trees that are included in this second Arborist Report, based upon the topographic map that I
reviewed as well as a re-evaluation of some of the trees on the site. Upon closer inspection I decided that the two Brazilian pepper tree
clumps on either side of the entrance to the site (labeled as trees #11 and 12 LQP\-XO\UHSRUW GRQRWTXDOLI\DV´SURWHFWHGµ
trees, and so are not included in this report. These trees are replaced with trees #11 and 12, coast live oaks, which are part of a clump
of trees and shrubs on Lot 2. I have also added a coast live oaks #13 and #14.

OBSERVATIONS
SITE CONDITIONS
The project site is currently a vacant lot bordered by existing professional buildings to the north and east, Saratoga Creek and
neighboring residential properties to the west and a vacant lot to the south. Site topography is mainly level. Sun exposure for the trees
varies from full to partly shaded, depending upon proximity to other trees. Most of the subject trees are growing off the site on adjacent
properties, but their canopies overhang the project site. Tree condition ranges from Poor to Good with most trees in Fair to Good
condition. All tree species except London plane #10 are native to the immediate area and are probably of natural growth,
meaning that they were not planted.
No irrigation is supplied to trees #1-9 and 11-14 which is fine because these are native tree species that are adapted to the climate
of the area. Those trees bordering however, do receive some additional water (other than rainfall) from the creek itself. London
plane #10 does receive irrigation from the office complex landscape. Tree maintenance is of a low or non-existent level for trees #1-9
and 11-14 which is fine for these native, natural growth trees. Maintenance for London plane #10 consists of lower branch removal for
parking lot clearance, and directional pruning for overhead electric wire clearance.

EXPLANATION OF TREE TABLE DATA COLUMNS:
1)Tree Number (the field tag number of the existing tree). Each existing tree in the field is tagged with a 1.25 inch round aluminum numbe r tag that
corresponds to its tree number referenced in the arborist report, Tree Map, Tree Protection Specifications and any other project plans where existing
trees must be shown and referenced.
2)Tree Name and Type:
Species: The Genus and species of each tree. This is the unique scientific name of the plant, for example Quercus agrifolia where Quercus is the Genus
and agrifolia is the species. The scientific names of plants can be changed from time to time, but those used in this report are from the most current
edition of the Sunset Western Garden Book (2012) Sunset Publishing Corporation. The scientific name is presented at its first occurrence in the Tree
Table, along with the regional common name. After that only the common name is used.
3)Trunk DBH͘dƌĞĞƚƌƵŶŬĚŝĂŵĞƚĞƌŝŶŝŶĐŚĞƐ͞ĂƚďƌĞĂƐƚŚĞŝŐŚƚ͟;ŵĞĂƐƵƌĞĚĂƚϰ͘ϱĨĞĞƚĂďŽǀĞŐƌŽƵŶĚůĞǀĞůͿ͘dŚŝƐŝƐƚŚĞĨŽƌĞƐƚƌLJĂŶĚĂƌďŽ ricultural standard
measurement height that is also used in many tree-related calculations. It is also the trunk diameter measurement height required by the City of
Saratoga. For multi-trunk trees, trunk diameter is measured for the largest trunk and estimated for all smaller trunks. A number in parentheses (3)
after the trunk diameter(s) indicates that it was not possible to measure the trunk at 4.5 feet (due to tree architecture) an d so the diameter was
measured at this alternate height (in feet), which reflects a more realistic trunk diameter for the tree.
4)Size: tree size is listed as height x width in feet, estimated and approximate and intended for comparison purposes.
5)Condition Ratings: Trees are rated for their condition on a scale of zero to 100 with zero being a dead tree and 100 being a perfect tree (which is rare ʹ

structure, and each component is rated separately. Averaging the two components is not useful because a very low rating for either one could be a
valid reason to remove a tree from a site -- even if the other component has a high rating. Numerically speaking for each separate component:

6)Relative to the scope of work for this report, tree Condition has been rated but not explained in detail and recommendations for the management of
tree condition have not been included. The tree owner may contact Deborah Ellis for additional information on tree condition and specific
recommendations for the general care of individual trees relative to their condition.

appraised. This value is then adjusted according to: (a) Species (according to regional published species ratings), (b) Condition of the tree, and (c)
Location of the tree (an average of the sub-categories of Site, Contribution and Placement). The methodology and calculations for the Trunk Formula
Method are taken from two industry standard texts ʹ The Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition, 2000, edited by the Council of Tree & Landscape

Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. The cross-sectional trunk diameter price presented in this text has been adjusted slightly
downward to match the current actual average wholesale cost of a 24 -inch box nursery tree in this area. Note that the values produced for this report
are meant for reference only and may not reflect the true value of the tree that could be calculated by a thorough and more d etailed analysis of each
individual tree.
a)Caveats regarding tree values͗dŚĞǀĂůƵĞƐŝŶƚŚŝƐƌĞƉŽƌƚŚĂǀĞŶŽƚďĞĞŶƐƵďũĞĐƚĞĚƚŽĂ͞ƌĞĂƐŽŶĂďůĞŶĞƐƐƚĞƐƚ͟ǁŚŝĐŚĐŽŵƉĂƌĞƐƚŚĞǀĂůƵĞŽĨƚƌĞĞƐĂŶĚ
landscaping to the total value of the property. The values in the report were calculated quickly and are intended to be appr oximate and for
reference only. Research on tree and landscape values has shown that landscaping can contribute up to 20% of the total prope rty value. In some
cases however, tree appraisals have produced tree values that exceed the value of the entire propert y. Performing a reasonableness test screens
for this error. For certain trees in this report I have decreased or increased tree values when I felt that the calculated v alues were too high or too
low.
b)The Trunk Formula Method is used for trees that are too large for practical replacement with a similar size nursery container -grown tree. This
method applies to trees with trunk diameters that are larger than 8-inches, measured at 12 inches above the ground. For the purpose of this
report, all trees with trunk diameters of 8 inches or greater measured at DBH (4.5 feet above the ground) are appraised by this method.
c)The Replacement Cost Method is used for smaller trees with trunk diameters up to 4-inches in diameter measured at 12 inches above the ground.
This is generally equivalent to a 48-inch box-size tree. The replacement cost for such a tree shall be the average wholesale cost of the tree
multiplied by two to include transportation to the site, planting and other costs. This price is then adjusted (usually downward) based upon the
Condition ratings percentages for the appraised tree. For the purpose of this report, all trees with trunk diameters of 7 in ches or less measured at
DBH (4.5 feet above the ground) are appraised by this method. The following cost basis is used (based upon the average of wholesale tree prices
from Boething Treeland Nursery, Portola Valley and Valley Crest Tree Nursery, Sunol, 2/2/2015):
Trunk DBH Replacement tree size Replacement Tree Wholesale Cost x 2 (for installation, etc.)
фϭ͟ƚŽϭ͟ 15 gallon $47.50 x 2 = $95

6-ϳ͟ ϰϴ͟ďŽdž $900 x 2 = $1800
d)Tree values for tree protection bonds: Prior to commencing work, the tree-regulating authority may require that the contractor furnish a bond
equal to some portion of the total appraised value of the trees on the site based upon the values presented in the Arborist R eport. Bond money
will be returned to the contractor upon the completion of the project with deductions or additional fines imposed based upon tree protection
compliance and the final condition of the trees. Tree values are often used to establish a benchmark amount to fine the cont ractor if non-

compliance with the Tree Protection Specifications or other negligence causes a subject tree to be removed or unnecessarily damaged. Th e full
value amount should be charged to the contractor if a tree is damaged to the degree that it must be removed. A portion of t he value of the tree
plus any necessary remediation costs, as determined by the tree owner, should be charged to the contractor if the tree is dam aged but does not
have to be removed.
9)Action (Disposition):
a)Save: it should be no problem save this tree utilizing standard tree protection measures.
b)Remove: this recommendation is based upon tree condition, preservation suitability, expected impact of construction, poor species for the site or
any combination of these factors.
c)Debatable: there is a problem with potentially retaining this tree. Find out why in the Reason and Notes columns of the Complete Tree Table.
Examples are:
xThe tree is shown to be saved (and may be a desirable tree to save) but proposed construction is too close or is uncertain an d may cause too
much damage to retain the tree. Design changes may be recommended to reduce damage to the tree so that it can be saved.

11)Notes: This may include any other information that would be helpful to the client and their architects and contractors within the sc ope of work for this
report, such as a more detailed explanation of tree condition or expected construction impact.
12)Tree Protection Distances (Also see pages 24 and 25 for a more detailed explanation).
a)Root Protection:
i)3 and 5xDBH: Both the 3 and 5xDBH distances are listed for each tree. For multi -trunk trees 100% of the DBH of the largest trunk is added to
50% of the DBH for all other trunks in order to compute the operational DBH to use for these the Tree Protection Distance ca lculations. For
practical purposes, the minimum root protection distance listed is 5 feet. If disturbance cannot be kept at least 3 feet from the trunk of a tree,
the tree should normally be removed.
ii)OTPZ (Optimum Tree Protection Zone): This is calculated as per the text, Trees & Development, Matheny et al., International Society of
Arboriculture, 1998. This method takes into account tree age and the particular tree species tolerance of root disturbance. Because it may not
be possible to maintain the OPTZ distance recommended for trees on many projects due to crowded site conditions, the Arborist may omit this
requirement and list only the 3 and 5xDBH distances.
b)Canopy Protection: Additional space beyond root zone protection distances may be necessary for canopy protection.
c)I have increased a few of the calculated tree protection distances for individual trees based upon my professional judgment relative to site
constraints. For example, the minimum root protection distance listed is 5 feet.
TREE PROTECTION DISTANCES
3 TO 5 X DBH
No one can estimate and predict with absolute certainty how far a soil disturbance such as an excavation must be from the edg e of the trunk of an
individual tree to affect tree stability or health at a low, moderate or severe degree -- there are simply too many variable involved that we cannot see or

project in order to estimate root damage to a tree due to the proposed construction. It tends to correlate reasonably well w ith the zone of rapid taper,
which is the area in which the large buttress roots (main support roots close to the trunk) rapidly decrease in diameter with increasing distance from the
trunk. For example, using the 3X DBH guideline an excavation should be no closer than 4.5 feet from the trunk of a n 18-inch DBH tree. Such distances
are guidelines only, and should be increased for trees with heavy canopies, significant leans, decay, structural problems, etc. It is also important to
understand that in actual field conditions we often find that much less root damage occurs than was anticipated by the guidelines. 3xDBH may be more of

an aid in preserving tree stability and not necessarily long-term tree health. 5X DBH or greater LVWKH´SUHIHUUHGµPLQLPXPGLVWDQFHZKLFKVKRXOGEH
strived for, and this distance or greater should probably be used when there are multiple trenches on more than one side of the trunk. The roots beyond
the zone of rapid taper form an extensive network of long, rope-like roots one to two inches in diameter. These woody perennial roots are referred to as
transport roots because they function primarily to transport water and minerals. Maintaining a 5xDBH tree protection zone or greater around a tree will
preserve more of these transport roots, which will have less of an impact on tree health than if the excavation were closer to the trunk.
OTPZ (OPTIMUM TREE PROTECTION ZONE)
OTPZ is the distance in feet from the trunk of the tree, all around the tree, that construction or other disturbance should n ot encroach within. If this
zone is respected, then chances of the tree surviving construction disturbance are very good . This method takes into account tree age, DBH and the
particular species tolerance to root disturbance. Although there are no scientifically based methods to determine the minimum distance for construction
(for example, root severance) from trees to assure their survival and stability, there are some guidelines that are often use d in the arboricultural
industry. The most current guideline comes from the text, Trees & Development, Matheny et al., International Society of Arboriculture, 1998. The tree

building sites it is often not be possible to maintain the OPTZ distance recommended for many of the trees -- therefore I have also listed alternate
distances of 3 and 5X DBH (see paragraph above).
Note that by default, the minimum root protection distance listed for any tree is 5 feet.
CITY OF SARATOGA TREE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
2014
1)Any time the canopy of a tree protected by City Code extends into an area of proposed construction or is within 5 feet of the
proposed work area an Arborist Report and a Tree Preservation Plan area required.
2)Protected trees are:
a)All trees ² when the trunk diameter at 4.5 feet above the ground (DBH) is 10 inches or more (includes all species, dead trees and
fallen trees).
b)Native species ² when the trunk diameter (DBH) is 6 inches or more. Native species include but are not limited to: coast live oak,

c)For additional protected trees see City Code 15-50-.050.
3)Saratoga City Code: http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=16616. Tree Regulations are Article 15-50.
4)This Arborist Report is to be copied onto plan sheet(s) and become part of the final project plan set. This sheet (s) shall be titled, Tree
Preservation Plan.
5)The owner, general contractor, architects and property owner are all responsible for knowing the information included in the Arborist
Report and adhering to the tree protection conditions provided.
6)The Designated Project Arborist for this development is Name, Company, City, Phone Number and Email Address.
7)The Project Arborist shall visit the site to inspect tree protection no less than once a week during demolition and grading and no less
than once per month during all other times, until the project has been completed. The Project Arborist shall submit a Tree Protection
Inspection Report to City Arborist Kate Bear as soon as possible after each inspection. The report shall state whether or no t tree
protection is adequate or needs improvement, and any mitigation measures that are recommended for the protected trees.
8)The Project Arborist shall supervise any work that must occur within the tree protection zone, and a follow-up report shall be
provided to the Saratoga City Arborist.
9)Any time that work must be supervised by the Project Arborist, a follow-up report shall be provided to the Saratoga City Arborist
documenting how the work was carried out and any necessary mitigation requirements.
10)Tree Protection Fencing Requirements:
a)Six-foot high chain link fencing mounted on eight-foot tall, 2-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground
and spaced no more than 10 feet apart.
b)Posted with signs reading´75((3527(&7,21)(1&(² DO NOT MORE OR RE029(:,7+287$33529$/)520&,7<$5%25,67µ
Print these signs at a minimum size of 8.5 x 11 inches, laminate them and attach them to the fencing by punching 4 holes in each
corner, and then attaching the sign to the fence with plastic wire ties in each of the holes. Place the signs 6 inches below the
top of the fencing. Place signs every 25 feet or in each cardinal direction, whichever is less, facing the work zone.
c)The City requires that tree protection fencing be installed before any equipment comes on site. The fencing must be inspected
and approved by the City Arborist before issuance of demolition and/or building permits.
d)Tree protection fencing is required to remain in place throughout construction .
TREE PROTECTION ZONE
The tree protection zone is the distance from the trunk to a point that is five feet beyond the canopy of a tree
protected by City Code. Tree protection fencing shall be located as close to this location as possible while
allowing room for construction to occur.

11)Other Tree Protection Measures:
a)The arborist report, once copied onto a plan sheet(s) and included in the final set of plans, serves as a Tree Preservation P lan
(City Code 15-50.140).
b)Any additional conditions needed to adequately protect trees during construction.
c)Any branch or root pruning must be supervised by an ISA-certified arborist or the Project Arborist.
d)Dealing with Roots: where a grade cut will take place underneath or within 5 feet of the dripline of a protected tree, a trench 18
inches wide and to the depth of the total excavation must be hand-dug. Roots will be cleanly cut within this trench by the
project arborist, who will then make an assessment of the total root damage and report this to City Arborist Kate Bear. The
project arborist must be on site when the trench is dug. The arborist shall file a report with Kate Bear documenting how the work
was carried out and any necessary mitigation requirements. After the trench is dug and roots are hand cut, heavy equipment
can then excavate for the remainder of the excavation as the equipment does not contact the intact ends of the cut roots.
Cutting the roots twice, to create a gap of about 6 inches between the intact and cut portions of the roots will facilitate
protecting the cut root ends.
e)A final inspection by the City Arborist is required at the end of the project. This is to be done before tree protection fencing is
taken down. Replacement trees should be planted at this time as well.
I The tree protection fencing and signage described above as well as SaratoJD·VRWKHUWUHHSURWHFWLRQUHTXLUHPHQWV, are
explained in the attached document, Tree Protection Requirements for Projects in Saratoga.
12)A Tree Protection Security Deposit on trees to be retained during construction and potentially impacted by work is req uired. The
deposit is between 25% and 100% of the total appraised value of the trees potentially impacted. The owner/applicant will be
required to obtain, and file with the Community Development Director, this Tree Protection Security Deposit prior to ob taining
Building Division Permits.
a)If there will be more than one structure on the property, the deposit must be equal to 100% of the value of the trees potentially
impacted (City Code 15-50.080(d)). If only one structure will be built, the deposit will b e ___.
b)The Tree Protection Security Deposit is to remain in place for the duration of construction of the project to ensure the protection
of the trees.
c)Once the project has been completed, inspected and approved ty the City Arborist (a building inspector cannot release the
Tree Security Deposit), the bond will be released.
d)Any tree on site protected by City Code will require replacement according to its appraised value if it is damaged beyond
repair as a result of construction.
13)Replacement tree requirements
a)Height at maturity if tall trees are being removed
b)native species if natives are being removed
c)whether new trees should be planted in the front yard or anywhere on the property

ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITATIONS
1.A Basic Evaluation of the subject trees described in this report was performed on July 23, 2015 for the purpose of this report. Trees
were briefly rechecked on January 26, 2016 for this current report and coast live oaks #11-14 were added. A basic evaluation is a
visual evaluation of the tree from the ground, without climbing into the tree or performing detailed tests such as exte nsive digging,
boring or removing samples. This is an initial screening of the tree after which the evaluator may recommend that additional , more
detailed examination(s) be performed if deemed necessary.
2.Trees on neighboring properties other than those specifically mentioned in this report were not evaluated in detail. They were only
viewed cursorily from the project site. I did not enter the neighboring property to inspect these trees up close.
3.Some trees had their root collars and or lower trunks covered with soil, vegetation or debris and were obstructed from view when I
conducted my tree evaluation. If these trees may remain, the obstructions should be removed and I should re-examine these
previously covered areas.
4.Any information and descriptions provided to me for the purpose of my investigation in this case and the preparation of this report
are assumed to be correct. Any titles and ownerships to any property are assumed to be good and marketable. I assume no
responsibility for legal matters in character nor do I render any opinion as to the quality of any title.
5.The information contained in this report covers only those items that were examined and reflects the condition of those items at the
time of inspection.
6.Loss or removal of any part of this report invalidates the entire report.
7.Possession of this report, or any copy thereof, does not imply right of publication for use for any purpose by any person other than to
whom this report is addressed without my written consent beforehand.
8.This report and the ratings or values represented herein represent my opinion. My fee is in no way contingent upon the reporting of
a specified value or upon any finding or recommendation reported.
9.This report has been prepared in conformity with generally acceptable appraisal/diagnostic/reporting methods and procedures
and is consistent with practices recommended by the International Society of Arboriculture and the American Society of Consul ting
Arborists.
10.My evaluation of the trees that are the subject of this report is limited to visual examination of accessible items without dissection,
excavation, probing or coring. There is no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that problems or deficiencies of the plants
or property in question may not arise in the future.
11.,WDNHQRUHVSRQVLELOLW\IRUDQ\GHIHFWVLQDQ\WUHH·VVWUXFWXUH. No tree described in this report has been climbed and examined from
above the ground, and as such, structural defects that could only have been discovered have not been reported, unless otherwise
stated. Structural defects may also be hidden within a tree, in any portion of a tree. Likewise, root collar excavations and
evaluations have not been performed unless otherwise stated.

12.The measures noted within this report are designed to assist in the protection and preservation of the trees mentioned herein , should
some or all of those trees remain, and to help in their short and long term health and longevity. This is not however; a gua rantee
that any of these trees may not suddenly or eventually decline, fail, or die, for whatever reason. Because a significant portion of a
WUHH·VURRWVDUHXVXDOO\IDUbeyond its dripline, even trees that are well protected during construction often decline, fail or die.
Because there may be hidden defects within the root system, trunk or branches of trees, it is possible that trees with no obvious
defects can be subject to failure without warning. The current state of arboricultural science does not guarantee the accurate
detection and prediction of tree defects and the risks associated with trees. There will always be some level of risk associ ated with
trees, particularly large trees. It is impossible to guarantee the safety of any tree. Trees are unpredictable.

SUMMARY
THE PROJECT
A two-story senior assisted living building and associated improvements will be constructed on the project site, which is presently two
adjacent vacant lots.
THE TREES & THE PROJECT
There are 14 protected trees1 with driplines that may be within 5 feet of proposed construction. Most of these trees are on neighboring
properties adjacent to the project site. Only 4 of the trees (#1, 11, 12 and 13) are located on the project site. Three trees (coast
live oaks #11, 12 and 13) will need to be removed because they are located within the proposed extension of Saratoga Creek
Drive. These are small trees that have trunk diameters of 7 to 8 inches. Coast live oak #3 has a large decayed area on one of its two
trunks that overhang the site. The trunk overhanging the site should be removed . It should be possible to save all of the other trees
although I have recommended a few design modifications to reduce damage for coast live oak #1 and California sycamore
#9.
Elderberry #3: is not shown on any of the construction plans I received, but is it located between a 40 and 24 -inch sycamore on
adjacent property to the south, and coast live oak #3 on the Topographic Survey, near the southwest corner of Lot 1. This is a sprawling
multi-trunk tree that has split apart and fallen over, with most of its trunks dead. A portion of the tree is still alive (an 8 to 10-inch trunk)
and the tree may overhang (or be lying on) the project site. I recommend that the trunks of the tree, be they living or dead, be cut to
short stumps about 6 inches tall. The shrub/tree will probably regrow from these stumps and provide value for wildlife and e rosion
control above the creek.
All 14 of the trees are described briefly the Summary Tree Table (Table 1) on page 5 and in greater detail in the Complete Tree Table
(Table 3) beginning on page 13. The total estimated value of the 14 trees described in this report is $100,080. The value of trees will be
removed is $4050. The value of trees to remain is $96,030. The amount requested for the tree protection bond is half the amount of the
trees that I estimate will be saved, or $48,015.
1 Protected Tree: a protected tree in Saratoga has a trunk diameter of 6 inches or greater for native tree species or 10 inches in diameter for non-native species.
Trunk diameter is measured at 4.5 feet above the ground. For construction project tree evaluation and arborist reports, any protected tree with its dripline within 5
feet of proposed construction must be addressed.

avoid damaging branches and compacting the soil beneath the canopy. If pruning is necessary in order to avoid branch breakag e,
the general contractor shall hire a qualified tree service2 to perform the minimum necessary construction clearance pruning.
8.Tree Protection Bond: I recommend that half the value of the trees estimated to remain be requested for the bond.
xThe total value of all trees on site or overhanging the site is $100,080.
xThe total value of the trees to be removed is $4,050.
xThe total value of the trees that will remain is $96,030. Half of this value (to be requested for the tree protection bond ) is $48,015.
9.I should review all site-based plans for this project: I have reviewed the plan sheets listed on page 10. Additional improvements on
plans that were not reviewed or have been revised may cause additional trees to be impacted and/or removed. Plans reviewed by
the arborist should be full-size, to-scale and with accurately located tree trunks and canopy driplines relative to proposed
improvements. Scale should be 1:20 or 1:10.
10.As a part of the design process, try to keep improvements (and any additional over-excavation or work area beyond the
improvement) as far from tree trunks and canopies as possible. 5xDBH3 or the dripline of the tree, whichever is greater, should be
used as the minimum distance for any soil disturbance to the edge of the trunk. 3xDBH should be considered the absolute minimum
distance from any disturbance to the tree trunk on one side of the trunk only, for root protection, with a minimum distance of 5 feet.
Farther is better, of course. For disturbances on multiple sides of the trunk, then 5xDBH or greater should be used, and farther is also
EHWWHUKHUH7UHHFDQRSLHVPXVWDOVREHWDNHQLQWRFRQVLGHUDWLRQZKHQGHVLJQLQJDURXQGWUHHV'RQ·WIRUJHWWKHPLQLPXPQHFH ssary
working margin around improvements as you locate those improvements. Disturbance usually comes much clos er to trees than the
lines shown on the plans!
11.Construction or landscaping work done underneath the dripline of existing trees should preferably be done by hand, taking care to
preserve existing roots in undamaged condition as much as possible and cutting roots cleanly by hand when first encountered, when
those roots must be removed. A qualified consulting arborist (the project arborist) should be hired to monitor tree protection and
supervise all work underneath the dripline of trees. This also applies to trees on neighboring properties whose canopies overhang the
work site.
2Terms highlighted at their first occurrence in this report are explained in the Glossary beginning on page 37.
3See pages 24 and 25 for an explanation of the 3 and 5xDBH root protection distances for trees.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Existing trees to be saved or removed should be numbered on all site-based plans to match the tree tag numbers that are used in this
arborist report.
2.Tree Removals: Three trees, #11, 12 and 13 coast live oak will need to be removed because they are within the proposed
entrance roadway into the site. I also recommend removal of one trunk of the multi-trunk coast live oak #3 that is overhanging
the site, because it has significant decay and is likely to fail over the site.
3.Design changes are recommended around coast live oak #3 and California sycamore #9 to reduce construction damage.
Please read about this in the Notes column of the Complete Tree Table.
4.Elderberry #3: this tree is not shown on any of the construction plans I received, but is it located between a 40 and 24-inch
sycamore and coast live oak #3 on the Topographic survey, near the southwest corner of Lot 1. This is a sprawling multi-trunk tree that
has split apart and fallen over, with most of its trunks dead. A portion of the tree is still alive (an 8 to 10-inch trunk) and the tree may
overhang (or be lying on) the project site. I recommend that the trunks of the tree, be they living or dead, be cut to short stumps
about 6 inches tall. The shrub/tree will probably regrow from these stumps and provide value for wildlife and erosion control above
the creek.
5.Story posts should be erected facing the north and west perimeter of Lot 1, in order to verify if any and how much construction
clearance will be required for adjacent trees.
6.For those trees that will be retained on the site or with canopies overhanging the site, follow the City of Saratoga Tree Protection
Requirements, which are included on pages 25 through 27. A separate copy of the Requirements will be provided by City Arborist
Kate Bear and must be incorporated into the project final plans. These Requirements shall replace any tree protection notes,
specifications or other directions (including detail drawings) that are currently included in the plans, for example on sheet s C-2 for
each lot. Kate Bear will also require that a copy of this Arborist Report be included in the project final plans. You may request that I
provide a condensed version of this report for the plans. Additional tree protection information is also available from me if necessary.
7.Neighboring trees: whose canopies overhang the project site and have driplines within 5 feet of any soil disturbance or other
improvements must receive tree protection in the same manner as existing trees to remain on the project site; for example tree
protection fencing and signage. The general contractor shall fence off the dripline of these trees as much as possible in order to

12.Landscaping:
a.New landscaping and irrigation can be as much or more damaging to existing trees than any other type of construction . The
same tree root protection distances recommended for general construction should also be observed for new landscaping.
Within the root protection zone it is usually best to limit landscape changes to a 3 to 4 -inch depth of coarse organic mulch
such as wood or bark chips or tree trimming chippings spread over the soil surface. The environment around existing trees
should be changed very carefully or not at all ² please consult with me regarding changes in the landscape around existing
trees and/or have me review the landscape and irrigation plans for this project.
b.This site contains oaks and other tree species that are native to the immediate area (coast live oak). These tree species fares
best with no irrigation during the normal dry months of the year. The best treatment of the ground ben eath these trees is
nothing but their own natural leaf and twig litter mulch. Exceptions to irrigation restriction include during the winter in
extended drought periods, as temporary compensation for root loss due to construction, and for newly planted tr ees during
their 2 to 3 year establishment period after installation. Native oak species especially are often killed due to inappropriate
landscaping that is installed around them; mostly commonly landscaping that requires frequent irrigation such as lawn s or
other high water-use plants. Large drought tolerant trees such as native oaks can become dangerous when exposed to
frequent irrigation, especially close to their trunks. California native oaks that are treated in this manner may contract root rot
diseases and fall over at the roots; often causing great damage and personal injury I there are targets in their vicinity such as
homes, cars and people. It is important to landscape correctly around our native oaks; e.g. summer dry. I have attached a
publication entitled Living among the Oaks, to assist in best managing the oaks on the property, as well as the directions to
IROORZLQLWHPVCE·DQGCF·EHORZ
c.Around the native oaks: there shall be no planting or irrigation (including drip irrigation) with in a minimum radius of 10 feet
from the trunks of the oaks or the inner half of the dripline of the tree, whichever is greater. Farther is better. Within this 10-foot
(or greater) radius around the trunk a 3 to 4-inch depth of coarse organic mulch such as wood or bark chips or tree trimming
chippings shall be spread over the soil surface. Shredded redwood bark is not allowed. Keep the mulch off the root collar o f
the trees. Beyond this 10-foot (or greater) protective, mulched area only drought -tolerant, summer-dry plant species,
preferably plant species that are native to the immediate area and grow commonly in association with the native oaks, may
be planted. Only summer-dry tolerant plants are allowed within the outer half of the dripline of the tree or 20 feet from the
trunk, whichever is greater. Such plants may be planted from no larger than 1 -gallon cans in holes that are hand-dug
manually with a shovel (no power equipment such as augers allowed). These plants must be spaced sparsely (e.g. plant ed no
closer than 4 feet apart) and watered with drip irrigation. The planting zone around these plants shall be mulched in the sa me

manner previously described. The drip irrigation for these plants should preferably be abandoned after a 2 to 3 year
establishment period.
13.Trees to remain after adjacent trees are removed should be re-evaluated by me or the project arborist after the surrounding trees
have been taken out.
14.General Tree Maintenance:
a.The root collars and lower trunks of some of the trees (e.g. California sycamore #9) were obscured from view by vegetation,
excess soil or other covering. Such portions of the tree should be uncovered and the tree re-evaluated by the arborist.
b.Do no unnecessary pruning, fertilization or other tree work . Pre-construction pruning should be limited to the absolute minimum
required for construction clearance. A qualified tree service should be hired to provide such pruning.
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE & USE OF REPORT
This survey and report was required by the City of Saratoga as a part of the building permit process for this project. The purpose of the
report is to identify and describe the existing protected trees that are within or near proposed construction. The audience for this report
is the property owner, developer, project architects and contractors, and City of Saratoga authorities (including the City Arborist, Kate
Bear) concerned with tree preservation and tree removal. The goal of this report is to preserve existing protected trees that are in
acceptable condition, are good species for the area and will fit in well with the proposed new use of the site.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
My first Arborist Report for this project is dated July 27, 2015, based upon my July 23, 2015 tree and site evaluat ion. At that time no
construction plans were available except for a Proposed Site Layout for Lot 1 with no existing trees included. In that first report I
recommended that the existing trees on and adjacent to the site be accurately surveyed and included in the project plans, which has
been done. This second Arborist Report is based upon those plans which I have recently reviewed, which are listed on page 10.

METHODOLOGY
I performed a brief evaluation of the subject trees on July 23, 2015 and again on January 26, 2016. On January 26, 2016 I briefly
rechecked trees #1-10 and performed a complete basic evaluation of trees #11-14. Tree characteristics such as form, weight
distribution, foliage color and density, wounds and indicators of dec ay were noted. Surrounding site conditions were also observed.
Evaluation procedures were taken from:

The above references serve as industry professional standards for tree evaluation and written findings and recommendations for trees on
construction sites prior, during and after site development.
Each of the trees was tagged in the field with metal number tags that correspond with the tree numbers referenced in this report. I
measured the trunk diameter of each tree with a diameter tape at 4.5 feet above the ground (DBH), which is also the required trunk
diameter measurement height of the City of Saratoga. DBH is used calculate tree protection distances and other tree-related factors.
7UXQNGLDPHWHUZDVURXQGHGWRWKHQHDUHVWLQFK,HVWLPDWHGWKHWUHH·VKHLJKWDQGFDQRS\VSUHDG7UHHCondition (structure and vigor)
was evaluated and I also recorded additional notes for trees when significant. Tree species and condition considered in combination
with the current or (if applicable) proposed use of the site yields the Tree Preservation Suitability rating. The more significant trees (or
groups of trees) were photographed with a digital camera. Some of these photos are included in this report, but all photos are available
from me by email if requested.

I have made a few changes to the trees that are included in this second Arborist Report, based upon the topographic map that I
reviewed as well as a re-evaluation of some of the trees on the site. Upon closer inspection I decided that the two Brazilian pepper tree
clumps on either side of the entrance to the site (labeled as trees #11 and 12 LQP\-XO\UHSRUW GRQRWTXDOLI\DV´SURWHFWHGµ
trees, and so are not included in this report. These trees are replaced with trees #11 and 12, coast live oaks, which are part of a clump
of trees and shrubs on Lot 2. I have also added a coast live oaks #13 and #14.

OBSERVATIONS
SITE CONDITIONS
The project site is currently a vacant lot bordered by existing professional buildings to the north and east, Saratoga Creek and
neighboring residential properties to the west and a vacant lot to the south. Site topography is mainly level. Sun exposure for the trees
varies from full to partly shaded, depending upon proximity to other trees. Most of the subject trees are growing off the site on adjacent
properties, but their canopies overhang the project site. Tree condition ranges from Poor to Good with most trees in Fair to Good
condition. All tree species except London plane #10 are native to the immediate area and are probably of natural growth,
meaning that they were not planted.
No irrigation is supplied to trees #1-9 and 11-14 which is fine because these are native tree species that are adapted to the climate
of the area. Those trees bordering however, do receive some additional water (other than rainfall) from the creek itself. London
plane #10 does receive irrigation from the office complex landscape. Tree maintenance is of a low or non-existent level for trees #1-9
and 11-14 which is fine for these native, natural growth trees. Maintenance for London plane #10 consists of lower branch removal for
parking lot clearance, and directional pruning for overhead electric wire clearance.

EXPLANATION OF TREE TABLE DATA COLUMNS:
1)Tree Number (the field tag number of the existing tree). Each existing tree in the field is tagged with a 1.25 inch round aluminum numbe r tag that
corresponds to its tree number referenced in the arborist report, Tree Map, Tree Protection Specifications and any other project plans where existing
trees must be shown and referenced.
2)Tree Name and Type:
Species: The Genus and species of each tree. This is the unique scientific name of the plant, for example Quercus agrifolia where Quercus is the Genus
and agrifolia is the species. The scientific names of plants can be changed from time to time, but those used in this report are from the most current
edition of the Sunset Western Garden Book (2012) Sunset Publishing Corporation. The scientific name is presented at its first occurrence in the Tree
Table, along with the regional common name. After that only the common name is used.

measurement height that is also used in many tree-related calculations. It is also the trunk diameter measurement height required by the City of
Saratoga. For multi-trunk trees, trunk diameter is measured for the largest trunk and estimated for all smaller trunks. A number in parentheses (3)
after the trunk diameter(s) indicates that it was not possible to measure the trunk at 4.5 feet (due to tree architecture) an d so the diameter was
measured at this alternate height (in feet), which reflects a more realistic trunk diameter for the tree.
4)Size: tree size is listed as height x width in feet, estimated and approximate and intended for comparison purposes.
5)Condition Ratings: Trees are rated for their condition on a scale of zero to 100 with zero being a dead tree and 100 being a perfect tree (which is rare ʹ

structure, and each component is rated separately. Averaging the two components is not useful because a very low rating for either one could be a
valid reason to remove a tree from a site -- even if the other component has a high rating. Numerically speaking for each separate component:

tree condition have not been included. The tree owner may contact Deborah Ellis for additional information on tree condition and specific
recommendations for the general care of individual trees relative to their condition.

Location of the tree (an average of the sub-categories of Site, Contribution and Placement). The methodology and calculations for the Trunk Formula
Method are taken from two industry standard texts ʹ The Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition, 2000, edited by the Council of Tree & Landscape

Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. The cross-sectional trunk diameter price presented in this text has been adjusted slightly
downward to match the current actual average wholesale cost of a 24 -inch box nursery tree in this area. Note that the values produced for this report
are meant for reference only and may not reflect the true value of the tree that could be calculated by a thorough and more d etailed analysis of each
individual tree.
a)Caveats regarding tree values͗dŚĞǀĂůƵĞƐŝŶƚŚŝƐƌĞƉŽƌƚŚĂǀĞŶŽƚďĞĞŶƐƵďũĞĐƚĞĚƚŽĂ͞ƌĞĂƐŽŶĂďůĞŶĞƐƐƚĞƐƚ͟ǁŚŝĐŚĐŽŵƉĂƌĞƐƚŚĞǀĂůƵĞŽĨƚƌĞĞƐĂŶĚ
landscaping to the total value of the property. The values in the report were calculated quickly and are intended to be appr oximate and for
reference only. Research on tree and landscape values has shown that landscaping can contribute up to 20% of the total prope rty value. In some
cases however, tree appraisals have produced tree values that exceed the value of the entire propert y. Performing a reasonableness test screens
for this error. For certain trees in this report I have decreased or increased tree values when I felt that the calculated v alues were too high or too
low.
b)The Trunk Formula Method is used for trees that are too large for practical replacement with a similar size nursery container -grown tree. This
method applies to trees with trunk diameters that are larger than 8-inches, measured at 12 inches above the ground. For the purpose of this
report, all trees with trunk diameters of 8 inches or greater measured at DBH (4.5 feet above the ground) are appraised by this method.
c)The Replacement Cost Method is used for smaller trees with trunk diameters up to 4-inches in diameter measured at 12 inches above the ground.
This is generally equivalent to a 48-inch box-size tree. The replacement cost for such a tree shall be the average wholesale cost of the tree
multiplied by two to include transportation to the site, planting and other costs. This price is then adjusted (usually downward) based upon the
Condition ratings percentages for the appraised tree. For the purpose of this report, all trees with trunk diameters of 7 in ches or less measured at
DBH (4.5 feet above the ground) are appraised by this method. The following cost basis is used (based upon the average of wholesale tree prices
from Boething Treeland Nursery, Portola Valley and Valley Crest Tree Nursery, Sunol, 2/2/2015):
Trunk DBH Replacement tree size Replacement Tree Wholesale Cost x 2 (for installation, etc.)
фϭ͟ƚŽϭ͟ 15 gallon $47.50 x 2 = $95

d)Tree values for tree protection bonds: Prior to commencing work, the tree-regulating authority may require that the contractor furnish a bond
equal to some portion of the total appraised value of the trees on the site based upon the values presented in the Arborist R eport. Bond money
will be returned to the contractor upon the completion of the project with deductions or additional fines imposed based upon tree protection
compliance and the final condition of the trees. Tree values are often used to establish a benchmark amount to fine the cont ractor if non-

compliance with the Tree Protection Specifications or other negligence causes a subject tree to be removed or unnecessarily damaged. Th e full
value amount should be charged to the contractor if a tree is damaged to the degree that it must be removed. A portion of t he value of the tree
plus any necessary remediation costs, as determined by the tree owner, should be charged to the contractor if the tree is dam aged but does not
have to be removed.

a)Save: it should be no problem save this tree utilizing standard tree protection measures.
b)Remove: this recommendation is based upon tree condition, preservation suitability, expected impact of construction, poor species for the site or
any combination of these factors.
c)Debatable: there is a problem with potentially retaining this tree. Find out why in the Reason and Notes columns of the Complete Tree Table.
Examples are:
xThe tree is shown to be saved (and may be a desirable tree to save) but proposed construction is too close or is uncertain an d may cause too
much damage to retain the tree. Design changes may be recommended to reduce damage to the tree so that it can be saved.

11)Notes: This may include any other information that would be helpful to the client and their architects and contractors within the sc ope of work for this
report, such as a more detailed explanation of tree condition or expected construction impact.
12)Tree Protection Distances (Also see pages 24 and 25 for a more detailed explanation).
a)Root Protection:
i)3 and 5xDBH: Both the 3 and 5xDBH distances are listed for each tree. For multi -trunk trees 100% of the DBH of the largest trunk is added to
50% of the DBH for all other trunks in order to compute the operational DBH to use for these the Tree Protection Distance ca lculations. For
practical purposes, the minimum root protection distance listed is 5 feet. If disturbance cannot be kept at least 3 feet from the trunk of a tree,
the tree should normally be removed.
ii)OTPZ (Optimum Tree Protection Zone): This is calculated as per the text, Trees & Development, Matheny et al., International Society of
Arboriculture, 1998. This method takes into account tree age and the particular tree species tolerance of root disturbance. Because it may not
be possible to maintain the OPTZ distance recommended for trees on many projects due to crowded site conditions, the Arborist may omit this
requirement and list only the 3 and 5xDBH distances.
b)Canopy Protection: Additional space beyond root zone protection distances may be necessary for canopy protection.
c)I have increased a few of the calculated tree protection distances for individual trees based upon my professional judgment relative to site
constraints. For example, the minimum root protection distance listed is 5 feet.
TREE PROTECTION DISTANCES
3 TO 5 X DBH
No one can estimate and predict with absolute certainty how far a soil disturbance such as an excavation must be from the edg e of the trunk of an
individual tree to affect tree stability or health at a low, moderate or severe degree -- there are simply too many variable involved that we cannot see or
DQWLFLSDWH['%+KRZHYHULVDUHDVRQDEOH´UXOHRIWKXPEµPLQLPXPGLVWDQFH LQIHHW DQ\H[FDYDWLRQVKRXOGEHIURPWKH edge of the trunk on one side of

DBH LVWUXQN´GLDPHWHUDWEUHDVWKHLJKWµ IHHWDERYHWKHJURXQG). This distance is often used during the design and planning phases of a construction
project in order to estimate root damage to a tree due to the proposed construction. It tends to correlate reasonably well w ith the zone of rapid taper,
which is the area in which the large buttress roots (main support roots close to the trunk) rapidly decrease in diameter with increasing distance from the
trunk. For example, using the 3X DBH guideline an excavation should be no closer than 4.5 feet from the trunk of a n 18-inch DBH tree. Such distances
are guidelines only, and should be increased for trees with heavy canopies, significant leans, decay, structural problems, etc. It is also important to
understand that in actual field conditions we often find that much less root damage occurs than was anticipated by the guidelines. 3xDBH may be more of

strived for, and this distance or greater should probably be used when there are multiple trenches on more than one side of the trunk. The roots beyond
the zone of rapid taper form an extensive network of long, rope-like roots one to two inches in diameter. These woody perennial roots are referred to as
transport roots because they function primarily to transport water and minerals. Maintaining a 5xDBH tree protection zone or greater around a tree will
preserve more of these transport roots, which will have less of an impact on tree health than if the excavation were closer to the trunk.
OTPZ (OPTIMUM TREE PROTECTION ZONE)
OTPZ is the distance in feet from the trunk of the tree, all around the tree, that construction or other disturbance should n ot encroach within. If this
zone is respected, then chances of the tree surviving construction disturbance are very good . This method takes into account tree age, DBH and the
particular species tolerance to root disturbance. Although there are no scientifically based methods to determine the minimum distance for construction
(for example, root severance) from trees to assure their survival and stability, there are some guidelines that are often use d in the arboricultural
industry. The most current guideline comes from the text, Trees & Development, Matheny et al., International Society of Arboriculture, 1998. The tree

building sites it is often not be possible to maintain the OPTZ distance recommended for many of the trees -- therefore I have also listed alternate
distances of 3 and 5X DBH (see paragraph above).
Note that by default, the minimum root protection distance listed for any tree is 5 feet.

c)For additional protected trees see City Code 15-50-.050.
3)Saratoga City Code: http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=16616. Tree Regulations are Article 15-50.
4)This Arborist Report is to be copied onto plan sheet(s) and become part of the final project plan set. This sheet (s) shall be titled, Tree
Preservation Plan.
5)The owner, general contractor, architects and property owner are all responsible for knowing the information included in the Arborist
Report and adhering to the tree protection conditions provided.
6)The Designated Project Arborist for this development is Name, Company, City, Phone Number and Email Address.
7)The Project Arborist shall visit the site to inspect tree protection no less than once a week during demolition and grading and no less
than once per month during all other times, until the project has been completed. The Project Arborist shall submit a Tree Protection
Inspection Report to City Arborist Kate Bear as soon as possible after each inspection. The report shall state whether or no t tree
protection is adequate or needs improvement, and any mitigation measures that are recommended for the protected trees.
8)The Project Arborist shall supervise any work that must occur within the tree protection zone, and a follow-up report shall be
provided to the Saratoga City Arborist.
9)Any time that work must be supervised by the Project Arborist, a follow-up report shall be provided to the Saratoga City Arborist
documenting how the work was carried out and any necessary mitigation requirements.
10)Tree Protection Fencing Requirements:
a)Six-foot high chain link fencing mounted on eight-foot tall, 2-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground
and spaced no more than 10 feet apart.
b)Posted with signs reading´75((3527(&7,21)(1&(² DO NOT MORE OR RE029(:,7+287$33529$/)520&,7<$5%25,67µ
Print these signs at a minimum size of 8.5 x 11 inches, laminate them and attach them to the fencing by punching 4 holes in each
corner, and then attaching the sign to the fence with plastic wire ties in each of the holes. Place the signs 6 inches below the
top of the fencing. Place signs every 25 feet or in each cardinal direction, whichever is less, facing the work zone.
c)The City requires that tree protection fencing be installed before any equipment comes on site. The fencing must be inspected
and approved by the City Arborist before issuance of demolition and/or building permits.
d)Tree protection fencing is required to remain in place throughout construction .
TREE PROTECTION ZONE
The tree protection zone is the distance from the trunk to a point that is five feet beyond the canopy of a tree
protected by City Code. Tree protection fencing shall be located as close to this location as possible while
allowing room for construction to occur.

11)Other Tree Protection Measures:
a)The arborist report, once copied onto a plan sheet(s) and included in the final set of plans, serves as a Tree Preservation P lan
(City Code 15-50.140).
b)Any additional conditions needed to adequately protect trees during construction.
c)Any branch or root pruning must be supervised by an ISA-certified arborist or the Project Arborist.
d)Dealing with Roots: where a grade cut will take place underneath or within 5 feet of the dripline of a protected tree, a trench 18
inches wide and to the depth of the total excavation must be hand-dug. Roots will be cleanly cut within this trench by the
project arborist, who will then make an assessment of the total root damage and report this to City Arborist Kate Bear. The
project arborist must be on site when the trench is dug. The arborist shall file a report with Kate Bear documenting how the work
was carried out and any necessary mitigation requirements. After the trench is dug and roots are hand cut, heavy equipment
can then excavate for the remainder of the excavation as the equipment does not contact the intact ends of the cut roots.
Cutting the roots twice, to create a gap of about 6 inches between the intact and cut portions of the roots will facilitate
protecting the cut root ends.
e)A final inspection by the City Arborist is required at the end of the project. This is to be done before tree protection fencing is
taken down. Replacement trees should be planted at this time as well.
I The tree protection fencing and signage described above as well as SaratoJD·VRWKHUWUHHSURWHFWLRQUHTXLUHPHQWV, are
explained in the attached document, Tree Protection Requirements for Projects in Saratoga.
12)A Tree Protection Security Deposit on trees to be retained during construction and potentially impacted by work is req uired. The
deposit is between 25% and 100% of the total appraised value of the trees potentially impacted. The owner/applicant will be
required to obtain, and file with the Community Development Director, this Tree Protection Security Deposit prior to ob taining
Building Division Permits.
a)If there will be more than one structure on the property, the deposit must be equal to 100% of the value of the trees potentially
impacted (City Code 15-50.080(d)). If only one structure will be built, the deposit will b e ___.
b)The Tree Protection Security Deposit is to remain in place for the duration of construction of the project to ensure the protection
of the trees.
c)Once the project has been completed, inspected and approved ty the City Arborist (a building inspector cannot release the
Tree Security Deposit), the bond will be released.
d)Any tree on site protected by City Code will require replacement according to its appraised value if it is damaged beyond
repair as a result of construction.
13)Replacement tree requirements
a)Height at maturity if tall trees are being removed
b)native species if natives are being removed
c)whether new trees should be planted in the front yard or anywhere on the property

ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITATIONS
1.A Basic Evaluation of the subject trees described in this report was performed on July 23, 2015 for the purpose of this report. Trees
were briefly rechecked on January 26, 2016 for this current report and coast live oaks #11-14 were added. A basic evaluation is a
visual evaluation of the tree from the ground, without climbing into the tree or performing detailed tests such as exte nsive digging,
boring or removing samples. This is an initial screening of the tree after which the evaluator may recommend that additional , more
detailed examination(s) be performed if deemed necessary.
2.Trees on neighboring properties other than those specifically mentioned in this report were not evaluated in detail. They were only
viewed cursorily from the project site. I did not enter the neighboring property to inspect these trees up close.
3.Some trees had their root collars and or lower trunks covered with soil, vegetation or debris and were obstructed from view when I
conducted my tree evaluation. If these trees may remain, the obstructions should be removed and I should re-examine these
previously covered areas.
4.Any information and descriptions provided to me for the purpose of my investigation in this case and the preparation of this report
are assumed to be correct. Any titles and ownerships to any property are assumed to be good and marketable. I assume no
responsibility for legal matters in character nor do I render any opinion as to the quality of any title.
5.The information contained in this report covers only those items that were examined and reflects the condition of those items at the
time of inspection.
6.Loss or removal of any part of this report invalidates the entire report.
7.Possession of this report, or any copy thereof, does not imply right of publication for use for any purpose by any person other than to
whom this report is addressed without my written consent beforehand.
8.This report and the ratings or values represented herein represent my opinion. My fee is in no way contingent upon the reporting of
a specified value or upon any finding or recommendation reported.
9.This report has been prepared in conformity with generally acceptable appraisal/diagnostic/reporting methods and procedures
and is consistent with practices recommended by the International Society of Arboriculture and the American Society of Consul ting
Arborists.
10.My evaluation of the trees that are the subject of this report is limited to visual examination of accessible items without dissection,
excavation, probing or coring. There is no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that problems or deficiencies of the plants
or property in question may not arise in the future.
11.,WDNHQRUHVSRQVLELOLW\IRUDQ\GHIHFWVLQDQ\WUHH·VVWUXFWXUH. No tree described in this report has been climbed and examined from
above the ground, and as such, structural defects that could only have been discovered have not been reported, unless otherwise
stated. Structural defects may also be hidden within a tree, in any portion of a tree. Likewise, root collar excavations and
evaluations have not been performed unless otherwise stated.

12.The measures noted within this report are designed to assist in the protection and preservation of the trees mentioned herein , should
some or all of those trees remain, and to help in their short and long term health and longevity. This is not however; a gua rantee
that any of these trees may not suddenly or eventually decline, fail, or die, for whatever reason. Because a significant portion of a
WUHH·VURRWVDUHXVXDOO\IDUbeyond its dripline, even trees that are well protected during construction often decline, fail or die.
Because there may be hidden defects within the root system, trunk or branches of trees, it is possible that trees with no obvious
defects can be subject to failure without warning. The current state of arboricultural science does not guarantee the accurate
detection and prediction of tree defects and the risks associated with trees. There will always be some level of risk associ ated with
trees, particularly large trees. It is impossible to guarantee the safety of any tree. Trees are unpredictable.

Re: Proposed Palm Villas Memory Care Saratoga Project – Saratoga Creek Dr.
Dear Ms. Johnson:
I hope this letter finds you and the other members of the Saratoga Planning Commission well in these
difficult times we are living through today.
I wanted to come forward on behalf of Michael and Garry Sneper regarding the memory care unit, Palm
Villas, proposed to be built in Saratoga.
Let me begin by introducing myself, my name is Janis Carney, I am the owner and founder of The Law
Offices of Janis A. Carney (also known as Carney Elder Law). My offices are located at 19100 Cox Ave.
Suite A, in Saratoga, adjacent to the Saratoga project site for Palm Villas. I have served the Los
Gatos/Saratoga community in Estate Planning and Elder Law needs for over 30 years. I am 1 of only 30
Certified Elder Law Attorneys (CELA) in California. I specialize in many facets of Estate Planning and
Elder Law, including but not limited to Trusts, Wills & Estates, Alzheimer’s & Long-Term Care
Planning, Asset Protection, Medi-Cal planning, VA benefits planning, Trust & Estate Administration, and
Probate Administration. My firm assists clients of all ages and stages of life, from those who are just 18
to those approaching 118! I am a founding member and serve on the board of the National Alliance of
Attorneys for Alzheimer’s Planning – a group of attorneys across the U.S. dedicated to making an impact
on issues related to long-term care planning for families affected by Alzheimer’s. I work with geriatric
care managers, care coordinators and others dedicated to protecting the rights of seniors in nursing homes
and other care facilities.
Through my work, I have become familiar with the Palm Villas in Campbell and know the reputation of
the facility as an excellent provider of care for seniors with dementia. Over my years serving seniors, I
have visited many assisted living and dementia facilities in the South Bay area, as well as on the
Peninsula and in the East Bay. I understand that one of the concerns expressed about the proposed
location for Palm Villas of Saratoga is parking. Through all of my visits to similar facilities throughout
the area, I have observed firsthand the parking issues, or rather the lack of parking issues related to these
facilities! Based on my personal knowledge, it is my opinion that the parking provided under the Palm
Villas plan is more than adequate for the staff and visitors to the facility.
Facilities providing care for persons with dementia, such as Palm Villas of Saratoga, are critically needed
to serve the huge number of seniors in our community, especially with the aging of baby
boomers. Alzheimer’s is recognized as the 6th (and some authorities say the 3rd) leading cause of death in

America. One in ten seniors will have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia. I know firsthand, through my
work over the past 30 years with seniors and their families, how extremely difficult it is to care for an
aging relative with dementia.
I found it necessary to express my experience in this field to highlight why I have a strong interest in and
opinion about Palm Villas of Saratoga coming to our community. The elderly population of Saratoga and
the surrounding communities is already underserved and has a growing need for care facilities of this
type. Furthermore, the caliber of the facility planned by Michael and Garry Snepers will provide our
senior community with a dignified home for them to aging in right here where they have lived most of
their lives. I know that Palm Villas of Saratoga will be a great benefit to the lives of Saratoga’s aging
population and their families.
I know Michael and Garry and their passion for and serving the elderly community is admirable.
Furthermore, their vision for Palm Villas of Saratoga will provide a much-needed service to seniors and
their families in our area. As a business neighbor to the Palm Villas of Saratoga project, I would love to
welcome them to our neighborhood and wholeheartedly support this proposed project.
Planning for quality Alzheimer’s and dementia care is something I care deeply about and have
incorporated into my professional and private life. An absolutely key element of such care in today’s
society is having access to quality assisted living facilities specializing in dementia care. I am excited
about and feel lucky that the Michael and Garry Sneper have selected Saratoga for their new flagship care
home providing such care and believe that the site where they intend to build will be perfect. None of us
are getting any younger and the residents of Saratoga will benefit beyond measure by having Palm Villas
of Saratoga in our community to care for us and our loved ones when the time comes. It is my fervent
hope that the City of Saratoga Planning Commission approves this project.
Thank you all for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Janis A. Carney
Certified Elder Law Attorney

Comments Re: Support of Palm Villas Saratoga project
There is a shortage of good Alzheimers' / Dementia (Memory
Care) accommodations in Saratoga making it difficult to get in. I
looked into moving my mother-in-law from where she currently
resides in memory care. Saratoga Palm Villas was highly
recommended and I found it to be a very nice and well-run
facility.
It’s nearly impossible. If they have an opening, the priority of
accepting a person is first, a person in another part of the
facility such as assisted living. Next, they take a person
temporarily in the facility for rehab. Last, they take from the
outside based on interviews. Realistically, you can't move from
another location’s memory care into Saratoga.

Comments Dear Planning Commissioners,
I am writing to support the proposed Residential Care Facility for
the Elderly project (RCFE).
The number of Americans living with Alzheimer's is growing —
and growing fast. An estimated 5.8 million Americans age 65 and
older are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2020.
Eighty percent are age 75 or older. Seeing the condition of
patients degenerates over time, the stress on caregivers for
Alzheimer patients is huge. I know of friends
in our community who are going through this painful process,
both as patients and caregivers, and I can only imagine the kind
of support and relief they can experience if there is a care
facility close by.
I leave it up to the Commission to conduct design review, as well
as measures to mitigate any impact this may have in the
neighborhood, but having this facility in our vicinity will greatly
benefit our
community.
Saratoga prides itself to be age-friendly, materialization of this
project certainly reinforces this message, and is a step in the
right direction.
Regards,

Dear Panning Commission,
Needless to say that our nation is aging and our beautiful Saratoga population too. And with aging comes the
issue of Alzheimer and Dementia.
Palm Villas running a well organized, clean, and caring organization in the Bay Area and we are fortunate that
they chose Saratoga to establish one of their Alzheimer/Dementia facilities here to take care of our parents
and loved one.
I and my neighbors on Aloha Avenue fully support Palm Villas Memory Care in Saratoga.
Thank you,

Dear City of Saratoga Planning Commission:
It has come to my attention that Garry and Mike Sneper, the owners of Palm Villas, a Memory Care facility, are
interested in building a facility to offer support to Alzheimer's and dementia clients. I urge you to support this effort.
I have known Garry and Mike as kind, generous individuals who have dedicated themselves to the care and comfort of
the elderly and infirm. I recently learned that they are interested in expanding their senior services by offering a
residence that is dedicated to the care of seniors suffering from Alzheimer's and/or dementia here in Saratoga.
I hope that the Planning Commission will honor that request. The senior population of Saratoga is growing. The need for
a memory care facility is also growing. Having such a facility within Saratoga will allow the seniors the ability to access
services without having to be uprooted from their community. Please consider these realities when making your
decision.
Sincerely,

Hi all,
As a long time resident of Saratoga, I am writing in support of the project to build a memory care facility off Cox Road. I
believe the community needs a facility like this for our aging Saratoga population; although we have senior care in
Saratoga, I know from my father's 15 years at Saratoga Retirement Community, we do not have adequate, dedicated
memory care facilities. The proposed location should cause minimal disruption to life in Saratoga, with the size of the
facility causing very little increase in traffic at a location that is not congested. In addition, I have met Michael and Garry
Sneper through their volunteer work in our community. They have already proven to be involved, generous members of
the Saratoga community.
I urge your support of their project.

Dear Saratoga Planning Commission:
My name is Keong Kam, a Saratoga resident in Vineyards of Saratoga community.
I recently heard about the Palm Villas memory care facility project in our community, and would
like to express my support for this project as a neighbor in the community.
The Alzheimer's and Dementia population is fast growing, and memory care facilities are
becoming more important to serve our seniors than ever. The aging population in Saratoga
would tremendously benefit from having a service like this near their homes. I believe allowing
seniors to age close to their home is absolutely important for their well being.
The location of this project seems great in an area already surrounded by other medical
facilities. The parking or traffic impact seems minimal and does not concern me at all.
I would like to sincerely support the approval of this project for the overall improvement of our
community.
Thank you.

Dear Planning Commission,
I am writing you to support the Palm Villas Saratoga project which you will be debating
tomorrow evening. I have been the Rector of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church for the past 11
years and know the importance of quality care for seniors and those with dementia. Saratoga
takes great pride in caring for its community. The Palm Villas project is intended to do just that.
For families with loved ones who need this level of care, Palm Villas will bring them great
comfort knowing that their loved one is receiving excellent level of care. They can then focus on
being present to mom or dad without being all consumed with the day to day care themselves.
This is nothing more than a blessing.
Michael and Gary Sneper have been hard at work for the past 5 years imagining this possibility
and offering this service to the community. They bring both expertise and caring vision to this
project. I believe Saratoga will be proud to have the Palm Villas in our great city.
I fully support this project and hope you will approve it tomorrow night.
God’s peace,
The Rev. Channing Smith+

I am writing in support of a memory care facility at Palm Villas in Saratoga ‐‐ we are in need of such a facility and it
doesn't appear as though we have one in Saratoga at present. I know the Our Lady of Fatima Villa took in Alzheimer
patients in the 1990's ‐‐
I am not clear on what is happening at the former Our Lady of Fatima Villa ‐‐ it is puzzling that after two years, the same
name is on the sign.
Again, I write in support of the Palm Villas project.

Dear Planning Commission,
I am writing you to support the Palm Villas Saratoga project
which you will be debating tomorrow evening. I have been the
Rector of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church for the past 11 years
and know the importance of quality care for seniors and those
with dementia. Saratoga takes great pride in caring for its
community. The Palm Villas project is intended to do just that.
For families with loved ones who need this level of care, Palm
Villas will bring them great comfort knowing that their loved one
is receiving excellent level of care. They can then focus on being
present to mom or dad without being all consumed with the day
to day care themselves. This is nothing more than a blessing.

Michael and Gary Sneper have been hard at work for the past 5
years imagining this possibility and offering this service to the
community. They bring both expertise and caring vision to this
project. I believe Saratoga will be proud to have the Palm Villas
in our great city.
I fully support this project and hope you will approve it tomorrow
night.
God’s peace,
The Rev. Channing Smith+

Comments I want to voice my support for the Palm Villas Memory Care
Project in Saratoga. We really need a facility like this for our
aging Saratoga population. The location should cause minimal
disruption to life in Saratoga and it’s in a quiet, serene area. The
Sneper brothers have been very generous members of our
Saratoga Community for as long as I’ve known them. This will be
a beautiful, state of the art, facility.
