(b) The natural landscape will be preserved insofar as practical and tree removal is minimized to the extent that three non-ordinance sized trees which are poor ornamental specimens with inappropriate growth habits and one of which is causing root damage, and one ordinance sized tree which has been found to be a nuisance to neighboring property and which if allowed to remain would req~/ire the building site to be moved closer to Saratoga- Sunnlrvale Road, resulting in greater noise to the inhabitants of the residential structure are to be removed. One ordinance sized tree, a Coastal Redwood, will be preserved on the site. Grade changes will be limited to excavation for the building foundations to be designed in accordance with the specifications of the City Arborist. (c) The proposed structure will minimize the perception of excessive bulk and will be compatible in terms of bulk and height with existing residential structures within the i~mmediate neighborhood and shall not unreasonably impair the light and the air of adjacent properties nor unreasonably impair the ability of adjacent properties to utilize solar energy, in that the proposed residential structure is one story in height in a neighborhood of predominantly one-story homes.
