BACKGROUND The Planning Commission reviewed the subject application at their meeting of June 9, 2021, and continued the application to their meeting July 14, 2021, with a request for staff to provide the following: - Provide background and additional information regarding “Measure A” and the Hillside Specific Plan; - Clarify if the Indemnity Agreement for City Geologist Clearance is transferable to subsequent owners of the property; and - Request that the Project Geologist attend the July 14, 2021, meeting to respond to Planning Commission questions regarding the project’s geotechnical issues. DISCUSSION Measure A (Hillside Specific Plan) The citizens of Saratoga approved “Measure A” during a Special Election on April 8, 1980. Measure A required the city to adopt a Hillside Specific Plan for the city’s northwest hillside areas. In addition, Measure A placed a moratorium on all new developments in the hillside area until the time that a Hillside Specific Plan was adopted. The Hillside Specific Plan was to include retroactive provisions that would be applicable to all existing approved but undeveloped building sites less then two years old. The Hillside Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council on June 2, 1981. The Hillside Specific Plan includes policies and action programs which included but were not limited to reducing the density of development, site grading, geology and soils, and circulation. A copy of the Hillside Specific Plan is included as Attachment 6. Regarding site grading, the Hillside Specific Plan includes a policy that states that no home shall be built on an area that exceeds 40% natural slope under the structure with possibility for a variance procedure for unusual situations. To implement the Hillside Specific Plan, the city created the Northwest Hillsides Residential (NHR) District. In November 1992, the NHR district was combined with the Hillside Conservation Residential (HC-RD) District to create the Hillside Residential (HR) district. As 9 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 4 required by Measure A, the adopted development standards for the HR district in the City Code are consistent with the Hillside Specific Plan. Indemnity Agreement The Resolution (Attachment 1) includes a condition that the applicant shall record an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless all city employees, boards, and commissions on any action, or any of the proceedings, acts or determinations related to the project. Prior to issuances of any grading or building permit, the project applicant is to record the Indemnity Agreement with the office of the Santa Clara County Recorder. The Indemnity Agreement includes a statement that the Agreement shall be binding upon the applicant and all successors to the property. Project Geologist The project geologist will attend the meeting to address the commission’s project specific geotechnical questions. SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION Site Description The vacant project site at 22551 Mount Eden Road is in the Hillside Residential (HR) zoning district. The ~1.4-acre site has an average slope of 31 percent. The site does not have street frontage on Mount Eden Road. Access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing 60’ wide right-of-way easement which passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. Surrounding properties include a vacant 29.28-acre parcel to the east which previously received tentative map approval for a five-lot subdivision; the tentative map expired in October 2009. To the south is a single-family home located on a .98 parcel, Mount Eden Road is located to the West, and a single-family home on a 2.54-acre parcel is located to the north. Site topography is characterized by steep southwest facing slopes. The site is in an area of landslides as identified on the City’s Ground Movement Potential Map and according to the City Geologist, relatively large inactive landslides dominate its southwestern portion. A copy of the City Geologist Clearance Memorandum is included as Attachment #3. These landslides are part of a larger series of landslides to the west. A 25-foot wide “landslide setback” from the edge of the landslide area was defined by the applicants Geotechnical Engineer. Construction is to be concentrated to the north of this setback line. The location of these landslides restricts the area of development to the northern one-third (approximately 24,740 square feet) of the site thereby leaving the remainder as undevelopable. The average slope of this developable area is 31% with maximum slopes of 50%. A total of 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. 10 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 5 Background On October 24, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a project for the site for a previous owner. That project included a 4,326 square foot two story single-family residence with a 1,260 square feet basement and 504 square feet detached garage. The project also included a variance to build on a slope more than 30 percent under the building footprint and a Conditional Use Permit to construct an accessory structure more than 12 feet in height. The project included 853 cubic yards of grading. A building permit or grading permit was never issued, and all entitlements expired. On March 28, 2012, the Planning Commission approved another project for the subject site for a different property owner. That project included a 4,179 square foot two-story residence and a 442 square foot detached accessory dwelling unit. Exceptions included a variance request for the project to have a reduced front yard setback, retaining walls more than five feet and greater than three feet in the front setback, and for the residence to be constructed on a slope exceeding 40 percent. The project also included a grading exception to exceed 1,000 cubic yards of grading. A building permit or grading permit was never issued, and all entitlements expired. Project Description The current property owner is requesting Design Review, Variance and Grading Exception approvals to construct a 4,733 square foot, two story single-family dwelling with an attached 1,200 square foot secondary dwelling unit. The vacant 1.42-acre project site has an average slope of 31%. The site drops 80 feet in elevation from north to south. Oaks, eucalyptus, and fruit trees are located on the lower portion of the site. Variances are requested from the regulations contained in the Zoning Regulations of the City Code. These include requests to reduce the width of the required front setback, locate structures on slopes exceeding 40 percent under a building footprint, and to construct retaining walls more than five feet in height and more than three feet in height within the front setback area. The project would include 1,486 cubic yards of grading (combined cut and fill). The project includes a request for a Grading Exception to exceed 1,000 cubic yards of grading in the HR zoning district. No protected trees are proposed for removal. Architecture/Design The architectural style of the residence can best be described as “Contemporary”. Architectural features include both one- and two-story elements, exterior materials including both light and grey colored stucco and dark walnut colored metal siding, and a flat roof. The walnut-colored front entrance door will be made of wood and the dark bronze colored garage door will be made of made of aluminum with frosted glass. All remaining exterior doors will be made of glass and dark bronze colored aluminum. 11 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 6 Variances The project includes a request for three variances. These include a setback variance to reduce the front setback from 70’-7” feet to 30 feet, a retaining wall height variance to construct retaining walls more than five feet in height and more than three feet in height within the front setback area, and a variance to construct a structure on an area of the site where the maximum slope beneath the structure would exceed 40 percent slope. The details of these variances are discussed in the following paragraphs. Setback The minimum front setback within the HR zoning district is 30 feet however, if a lot is vacant or was created after May 15, 1992, the front setback is 30 feet or 20 percent of the lot depth; whichever is greater. The subject site is vacant and has not been developed previously so the front setback as a percentage of lot depth is applicable. The subject site has a calculated lot depth of 353 feet which requires a front setback of 70’-7” (353 x .20 = 70’-7”). As mentioned in a preceding paragraph, approximately two-thirds of the site is located within a mapped landslide area thereby leaving the northerly one-third available for development. The 25 feet ‘landslide setback’ from the edge of the landslide areas as defined by the Geotechnical Engineer further restricts the development area. The effect of the required 70’-7” building setback would shift the proposed development to the south, beyond the ‘landslide setback’, and into the area of the site that is geologically unstable. The applicant is requesting a setback variance to reduce the required front yard building setback to 30 feet (the minimum front setback for a lot in the HR zoning district). This would allow the residence and associated site improvements to be constructed on the geologically stable portion of the site. Slope The average slope of the site is 31%. Within the proposed building envelope, the average slope is 29% with maximum slopes exceeding 40%. City Code Section 15-13.050(e)(2) “Location of Building Sites” states that the average slope under a structure or pool shall not exceed 30% and that no structure or pool shall be built on a slope which exceeds 40% at any location under the footprint between two five-foot contour lines. The maximum slope under the residence, garage, and accessory dwelling unit are all more than 40%. As already mentioned, the site is constrained by the existing landslide area which concentrates development to the northern third of the site. This portion has a relatively small level graded area where the project would be located however the entire project as proposed extends beyond its bounds and is conterminous with the area of steeper slopes. Retaining Walls The site does not have street frontage on Mount Eden Road. Access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing 60-foot-wide right-of-way easement that passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. This easement is limited to twenty feet wide at the northwest corner of the lot thereby limiting driveway access to this one location. The slope at this access point is approximately 40 percent. City Code Section §15- 29.010(l) limits retaining walls to a maximum height of five feet and three feet in a front setback. 12 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 7 To provide vehicular access to the site and to provide a relatively level driveway at the entrance and the turnaround area in front of the garage would cause the retaining walls to exceed the maximum allowable heights in two locations. The retaining wall to the northeast of the entrance and adjacent to the front property line would have a maximum overall height of 6.39 feet and the retaining wall at the northeast corner of the garage and along the side of the driveway would range in height exceeding five feet with a maximum height of nine feet adjacent to the residence. The previously approved project for the subject site included a variance for retaining wall height to construct the driveway in approximately the same location as the current project. Grading Exception City Code section 15-13.050 limits the combined cut and fill of any grading for a project in the Hillside Residential (HR) zone district to 1,000 cubic yards, unless a larger quantity is approved by the Planning Commission. The project includes a request for a grading exception for a combined cut and fill of 1,486 cubic yards. The 440 cubic yards of cut for the basement areas are not included in the grading quantity. The project would be partially constructed on the most level portion of the site and grading would be required to integrate and terrace the structures into the steeper portions of the site. Additional grading is proposed to provide a reasonable amount of level space beyond the building footprint for outside activities. The grading would improve the building integration into the natural topography of the site as recommended in the City’s Residential Design Handbook thereby potentially offsetting negative views of the project as viewed from Mount Eden Road and adjacent sites. The applicant has provided a color and materials board. Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials. Detail Colors and Materials Exterior Both light and dark grey colored stucco / long board metal side with a dark natural walnut color Windows/Doors Walnut stained wood entrance door, aluminum clad “dark bronze” aluminum windows and exterior doors, aluminum garage door “dark bronze” in color with tempered frosted glass. Trim Galvanized “dark bronze” colored metal roof coping, awning, scuppers, and downspouts, steel and glass guardrails Roof GAF Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing system – desert tan in color Trees A total of 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. No trees are proposed for removal. All protected trees would be fenced and preserved prior to building permit issuance and throughout the duration of the project. Tree protection fencing is required to be installed prior to the issuance of building permits. 13 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 8 Details of the arborist’s findings and descriptions of the trees to be preserved are included in the Arborist Report (Attachment 4). Landscaping No new formal landscaping is proposed. The vegetation within the front setback area is to remain which includes existing native bushes and grasses which are complementary to the existing Oak Woodland neighborhood streetscape. FINDINGS Design Review The findings required for issuance of Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section 15- 45.080 are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support making all of those required findings: a. Site development follows the natural contours of the site, minimizes grading, and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the project was designed to follow the natural contours of the site to minimize the perception of excessive bulk and will be integrated into the natural environment. Even though a grading exception is being requested for grading more than 1,000 cubic yards, this grading is limited to the construction of an access driveway and the construction of a building pad that integrates the structure into the existing environment and minimal grading will occur outside the building footprint. b. All protected trees shall be preserved, as provided in Article 15-50 (Tree Regulations). If constraints exist on the property, the number of protected trees, heritage trees, and native trees approved for removal shall be reduced to an absolute minimum. Removal of any smaller oak trees deemed to be in good health by the City Arborist shall be minimized using the criteria set forth in Section 15-50.080. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that 22 protected trees are in the vicinity of the project site including both Tasmanian blue gum, bay laurel, and coast live oaks. No trees are proposed for removal. All protected trees would be fenced and preserved prior to building permit issuance and throughout the duration of the project. Tree protection fencing is required to be installed prior to the issuance of building permits. c. The height of the structure, its location on the site, and its architectural elements are designed to avoid unreasonable impacts to the privacy of adjoining properties and to community viewsheds. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project is a two-story residence located within a rural setting. The project has been designed in a manner to minimize interference with neighboring views and privacy using natural materials and colors to blend the project with the 14 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 9 environment, limiting the building height to 25 feet, from the home are primarily oriented to the south and east and away from structures on adjacent sites. There are not identified community viewsheds in the vicinity of the project. d. The overall mass and height of the structure, and its architectural elements are in scale with the structure itself and with the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative in the project is a two-story residence with both one and two-story structures. The project includes architectural elements consistent with the ‘Contemporary” architectural style which are in scale with the structure and the neighborhood. The perception of excessive bulk is minimized using varying architectural forms, both one- and two-story structural elements, varying exterior materials and textures, and varying rooflines that break up the massing and reduce the perception of height and mass. The applicant’s choice of a neutral color palette for the exterior of the building will help to integrate the project with the natural environment of the site and its surroundings. The projects physical distance from the nearest property will help minimize the appearance of mass when compared with structures on adjacent lots. e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements that are complementary to the neighborhood streetscape. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the front yard landscaping will continue to be dominated by existing native bushes and grasses which will be complementary to the existing Oak Woodland neighborhood streetscape. No new formal landscaping is proposed. f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the development will not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy as the tallest elements of the structure are located at the center of the site to minimize shadowing, the project meets or exceeds required setbacks, and the orientation of the sun with respect to the location of the site will not cast shadows on adjoining properties. g. The design of the structure and the site development plan is consistent with the Residential Design Handbook, pursuant to Section 15-45.055. This finding can be made in the affirmative because the proposed project incorporates applicable design policies and techniques from the Residential Design Handbook. The overall mass and height of the structure are in scale with the neighborhood; the structure is set back in proportion to the size and shape of the lot; site development follows contours and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. In addition, the proposed materials, colors, and details enhance the architecture in a well-composed, understated manner. 15 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 10 h. On hillside lots, the location and the design of the structure avoid unreasonable impacts to ridgelines, significant hillside features, community viewsheds, and is in compliance with Section 15-13.100. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project will include minimal grading outside the area of the driveway and building footprint to impact significant hillside features and impacts to ridgelines and community viewsheds. The Zoning Code defines "community view sheds" as any views which are visible from an area which has scenic value for the community. The General Plan reinforces that the western hills and ridgelines are the predominant scenic resource within the City. The project is not located in an area considered to a community viewshed. Variance Findings The proposed project is consistent with all the following Variance findings stated in Saratoga Municipal Code Section 15-70.060: a. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. The project as proposed does meet this finding in that there are special circumstances applicable to the property to support the variances for a reduction in the width of the front setback, to construct on steep slopes, and to install retaining walls exceeding maximum allowable height. The request for the setback and slope variances is; 1) based on the existing landslide that restricts development to the northern third of the site; and 2) the average slope of the proposed building envelope is 31% with maximum slopes exceeding 40% under the building footprints. Saratoga Municipal Code Section 15-13.050(e)(2) states that the average slope under a structure or pool shall not exceed 30% and that no structure or pool shall be built on a slope which exceeds 40% at any location under the footprint between two five-foot contour lines. The maximum proposed slopes under the residence and accessory dwelling unit are all more than 40%. Approximately two-thirds of the site is located within a mapped landslide area thereby leaving the northerly one- third available for development. The 25 foot “landslide setback” from the edge of the landslide areas restricts the development area. The variance for a 30-foot front setback would allow the project to be constructed on a geologically stable portion of the site and located in a previously graded area. Strict enforcement of the specified regulations defining slopes and setbacks would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. That is because if the project were required to provide a front building setback of 70’-7” the proposed development would shift to the south, beyond the “landslide setback”, and into the area of the site that is geologically unstable. In addition, the limited area of the site available for development exceeds the maximum slopes that are allowable under a building footprint or pool. A variance for retaining walls to exceed the five feet maximum height, including the three-foot maximum height within a front setback, is requested to provide a relatively level driveway and vehicle turnaround area in front of the garage. The maximum existing slope in the area of the 16 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 11 proposed turnaround area is 50 percent. Site access is provided from Mount Eden Road by an existing right-of-way easement that passes through the southeastern corner of 22530 Mount Eden Road and the southwest corner of 22188 Villa Oaks Lane. This easement is twenty feet wide at the northwest corner of the lot thereby limiting driveway access to this one location. The slope at this access point is approximately 40 percent. Additional constraint on the location of the turnaround is the landslide setback that limits the developable area to the northern portion of the site. Because the driveway and turnaround located in an area with steep slopes and would be located near both the front and western side property line, retaining walls with heights exceeding five feet, and three feet in a front setback, would be required. Strict enforcement of the specified regulations defining retaining wall height would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity and classified in same zoning district. That is because a residence on the subject lot could not be constructed without a variance to construct a relatively level vehicle turnaround, and since the location of this is limited to an area of steep slopes, retaining walls exceeding City Code height limitations would be required to construct the turnaround. This finding can be made in the affirmative. b. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the same zoning district. The project does meet this finding in that the variance will not constitute a special privilege in that the adjacent sites are developed with similar sized single-family homes, the variances would allow the project to be developed on a geologically stable portion of the site, and the setbacks would be consistent with the minimum allowable setbacks of the HR Zoning District. This finding can be made in the affirmative. c. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed building site is on the portion of the site that is the most geologically stable. Geological reports indicate that the sloped areas of the site are potentially unstable due to the location of dormant landslides. These areas are susceptible to erosion and slope failure which can be exacerbated by existing drainage patterns. The project would locate development on the northerly third of the site outside the area of dormant landslides. The project has received Geotechnical Clearance from the City Geologist The project as currently designed will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare; it will enhance it as compared to the previously existing improvements. Nor will the project be materially injurious to properties or improvement in the vicinity; instead, it will reduce the potential for adverse impacts. This finding can be made in the affirmative. Findings for Grading Over One Thousand Cubic Yards Zoning Code section 15-13.050(f) states that the combined cut and fill of any grading for a project in the Hillside Residential zone district shall not exceed one thousand (1,000) cubic yards, including any excavation for a swimming pool, unless a larger quantity is approved by the Planning Commission based upon making all of the below listed findings. 17 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 12 1. The additional grading is necessary in order to allow reasonable development of the property or to achieve a reasonable means of access to the building site. The project would be partially constructed on the most level portion of the site and 680 cubic yards of cut would be required to integrate and terrace the structures into the site. Grading is required to daylight the graded areas into non-graded areas thereby reducing the number and height of retaining walls as well as contouring the site to reduce erosion by channeling storm water runoff into storm drains for release down slope and away from the structure and neighboring properties. Grading is also proposed to provide a reasonable amount of space beyond the building footprint for outside and recreational activities. Constructing the driveway and vehicle turnaround, landscaped areas, walkways, and erosion control would require 1,483 cubic yards of cut and 3 cubic yards of fill. The grading would also improve the buildings integration into the natural topography of the site as recommended in the City’s Residential Design Handbook and potential negative offsite views of the project could be reduced as viewed from Mount Eden Road and adjacent sites. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 2. The natural landforms and vegetation are being preserved and protected. The natural vegetation on the site consists of native grasses, shrubs, trees - none of these trees are being removed. Portions of the site have been previously graded, and the proposed project will utilize this area for the development. The City Arborist inventoried 22 trees protected by City ordinance with a potential of being impacted by construction. None of these trees are proposed for removal. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 3. The increased grading is necessary to promote the compatibility of the construction with the natural terrain. The increased grading quantity would assist in the integration of the structure into the existing natural terrain and to reduce the perception of the structures bulk; and the majority of the grading would be used to minimize the perception of excessive bulk as viewed from off site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 4. The increased grading is necessary to integrate an architectural design into the natural topography. The increased grading would integrate the proposed architectural design into the natural topography; integration of the architectural design with the natural surroundings would be increased by project terracing. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 5. The increased grading is necessary to reduce the prominence of the construction as viewed from surrounding views or from distant community views. The grading of the site will reduce the prominence of the construction as viewed from off site or from distinct community views by integrating the graded contours of the project site with the natural 18 Report to the Planning Commission 22551 Mount Eden Road – Application #s PDR20-0009/ ARB20-0043 / VAR21-0002 / GRE21-0001 July 14, 2021 Page | 13 contours near the edges and the building will be constructed to follow the contours of the site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. 6. No building site shall be graded so as to create a flat visible pad surrounding the main residential structure. The building site is graded to provide a reasonable amount of level areas for outside recreational activities; the site is not excessively graded thereby resulting in a flat visible building pad; and natural open space will cover most of the site thereby decreasing the appearance of a graded site. This finding can be made in the affirmative. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence The applicant submitted five (5) completed neighborhood review letters which are included as Attachment 4. Two of the letters had project related comments. The property owner at 22621 Mount Eden Road is primarily concerned about construction parking, site drainage, and the possible removal of cypress trees. A condition of project approval is that the application for a building permit have a construction management plan which will include the parking location of construction vehicles, site drainage will be directed to an infiltration device near the bottom of the site via a pipe and a vegetated swale, and no protected cypress trees are proposed for removal. The property owner at 22301 Mount Eden Road is adjacent to the southwest corner of the site and is concerned that stormwater will infiltrate his site if proposed storm drainage measures as proposed by the applicant are not maintained. The proposed grading and drainage plan which features a combination of energy dissipators and infiltration devices was reviewed by the City Engineer, and it was determined that proposed site drainage control measures were sufficient. The Community Development Department mailed public notices to property owners within 500 feet of the site. In addition, the public hearing notice and description of the project was published in the Saratoga News. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The project is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, Class 3 (a) of the Public Resources Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of a single-family residence and small structures in a residential area. The project, as proposed, is for the construction of a new residence in a suburban, residential area. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 21-009 2. Arborist Report dated March 3, 2021 3.

Eden Road --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At your request, we have completed a geotechnical peer review of the subject application using: •Supplemental Recommendations – Awan Residence (letter) prepared by Romig Engineers, dated October 5, 2020; •Topographic Plan (1 sheet) prepared by Dunbar and Craig, dated October 13, 2011; •Civil Plans (6 sheets) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated September 4, 2020; and •Architectural Plans (13 sheets) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated September 4, 2020. In addition, we have reviewed readily available satellite imagery and pertinent technical documents from our office files, as well as conducted a recent site reconnaissance. We also have reviewed a geotechnical investigation (dated October 18, 2011), and two supplemental letters (dated January 12 and June 21 of 2012) provided by Romig Engineers. DISCUSSION We understand the applicant is proposing to construct a new residence, attached garage, and attached guest house. Access to the property is proposed to be provided by a new driveway extending from Mt. Eden Road along an ingress-egress easement crossing neighboring properties. In a previous geotechnical peer review memorandum dated January 25, 2012, we recommended approval of project Geotechnical Clearance of a similar design concept with conditions including a final peer review of stabilization wall plans. Provided estimates of proposed earthwork quantities include 1,175 cubic yards of cut for the residence and an additional 948 cubic yards of cut for site grading including the driveway along with 2 cubic yards of landscaping fill. The proposed driveway alignment may require additional fill and grading depending on final design grades and retaining wall layouts within the access easement. Attachment #3 35 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 2 S5141B SITE CONDITIONS The property is located immediately west of the crest of a northwest to southeast trending ridgeline. Natural topography at the site is generally characterized by steep to very steep (approximately 38 to 60 percent inclination) southwest facing slopes. Previous grading activities have resulted in a cut and fill pad in the northeastern portion of the property. A very steep (approximately 72 percent inclination) cut slope exists along the northeastern portion of the existing pad. An associated moderately steep (approximately 30 percent inclination) fill slope exists on the southwestern portion of the existing pad. Steep to very steep (approximately 50 to 67 percent inclination) fill slopes and cut slopes were noted along the outboard edge of the proposed driveway. Drainage is generally characterized by sheet flow toward the southwest where it becomes intercepted by an incised drainage below the property. During our site reconnaissance our Staff Geologist observed desiccation cracks up to two and a half inches wide at the property. According to the City Geologic Map (Upper Calabazas Creek Watershed) two deep-seated Old Landslides are impacting the property. One Old Landslide is mapped crossing the southwestern portion of the property. Geomorphic evidence of this landslide was also noted during our recent site visit, and we understand previous site subsurface exploration has confirmed that this landslide has a depth in the range of approximately 30 feet or greater downslope of the subject property. This mapped landslide also extends across existing developed properties to the south and west. Previous subsurface exploration has confirmed the presence of another mapped Old Landslide beneath portions of the proposed driveway and Mt Eden Road. This landslide has also been found to be relatively deep (approximately 30 feet or greater) and extends across multiple properties. We understand that the proposed residence footprint is intended to avoid, and remain upslope of these identified landslides. The property is underlain, at depth, by sedimentary bedrock materials of the Santa Clara Formation (semi- consolidated siltstone, sandstone, and potentially expansive claystone). The bedrock is locally overlain by potentially expansive colluvial soils, artificial fill and landslide debris. We understand the proposed residence footprint is intended to be located outside of areas of mapped landslide debris, based on investigation and mapping completed by the Project Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Consultant. However, lower portions of the proposed structure may be directly adjacent to or partially on landslide debris requiring stabilization against future movement or undermining resulting from the loss of lateral support. The Project Geotechnical Consultant concludes that shallow foundation may be used to support the residence where proposed excavations extend at least 5 feet into weathered bedrock. A mapped trace of the potentially active Berrocal fault is located approximately 1,500 feet southwest of property. A mapped trace of the active San Andreas Fault is located approximately 2 miles southwest of the property. Portions of the property are located within a State delineated earthquake-induced landslide hazard zone. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION The proposed site development is potentially constrained by expansive surficial soil and bedrock materials, continued erosion of incised drainages, soil creep, deep-seated landsliding, undocumented fill, and strong seismic ground shaking. The referenced letter dated October 5, 2020, indicates that the Project Geotechnical 36 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 3 S5141B Consultant has reviewed the proposed site development concept and has concluded that the recommendations presented in the referenced 2011 report and supplemental letters are still appropriate for the currently proposed project. The Project Geotechnical Consultant recommends a stabilization wall be constructed as part of site improvements to protect the residence from future instability from identified landslide debris downslope and adjacent to proposed habitable improvements. We also understand that the Project Geotechnical Consultant considered geotechnical design measures to address the deep landslide underneath a portion of the driveway, but concluded that stabilization does not appear to be feasible and that attempting to construct driveway stabilization improvements could result in future adverse impacts to access along Mount Eden Road. The Project Geotechnical Consultants finds it more favorable to allow for potential creep or distributed deformation along the driveway that may require regular maintenance, if movement is detected. We recommend that the Project Geotechnical Consultant coordinate with the project design team to clarify the location of the proposed residence stabilization wall, and final foundation and site retaining layouts for the proposed structure and driveway improvements. Final design plans for the stabilization wall should be submitted to the City for supplemental geotechnical peer review prior to building permit issuance. We also recommend the Consultant discuss with the project design team and owner the performance benefits of utilizing uniform deep foundations for the proposed residence. We note that structures with both deep and shallow foundation elements may be at an increased risk of distress from non-uniform movement during strong seismic shaking, and are frequently avoided, where possible, in the City. The Project Geotechnical Consultant also provides recommendations for geofoam block alternatives for proposed driveway grading. We note that the use of geofoam (or equivalent) is preferred from a geotechnical standpoint, to limit the addition of material (or potential driving force depending on location) to existing landslides. We also understand that portions of the proposed driveway will be constructed with pier supported retaining walls; however, these walls are not intended to stabilize deep-seated landsliding. As indicated in the 2011 geotechnical report, the applicant and future property owners should be aware that the Old Landslide extending into the southwestern portion of the property was previously found to have a factor of safety lower than the minimum value typically considered acceptable in current engineering practice. Consequently, there could be a future responsibility to address the impacts associated with landslide reactivation. Such landslide reactivation could impact and involve multiple properties. In addition, proposed site development requires that the property owner understand and accept the potential risk and future maintenance associated with deep landslide movement beneath the driveway. Such movement could restrict access to the property until repaired and may impact utilities servicing the residence. Given the potential for ground failure of the driveway, the Project Design Team should consider the benefits of automatic utility shut- off valves, as applicable. Given the owners understanding and acceptance of the above described risks, we do not object to project Geotechnical Clearance with the following conditions attached. Please note, we recommend supplemental geotechnical peer review of Item 1 prior to issuance of building permits. 1. Residence Stabilization Wall Design Plans – The Project Geologic and Geotechnical Consultant should review the currently proposed site development concept in reference to their previously mapped landslide margins. The Consultant should propose a layout for the stabilization wall considering the current residence footprint, sections, and identified landslides. The Geotechnical 37 Christopher Riordan October 28, 2020 Page 4 S5141B Consultant should coordinate with the Project Structural Engineer to ensure appropriate design of site stabilization structures given site geologic and geotechnical conditions. If a stabilization wall is no longer proposed, additional analysis or mitigation may be necessary to satisfy the requirements necessary for qualifying projects in State delineated earthquake-induced landsliding zones. After stabilization wall design plans have been prepared and formally approved by the Project Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Consultant, detailed design plans and supporting calculations should be submitted to the City for review and recommendation by the City Geotechnical Consultant prior to issuance of building permits. 2. Geotechnical Plan Review – The Project Geotechnical Consultant shall review and approve all geotechnical aspects of the final project construction plans (i.e., site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, pavement design, and design parameters for foundations and retaining walls) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated. We note that Romig Engineers is not referenced as the Geotechnical Consultant on all pertinent plan sheets (e.g., C-1.0). The results of the plan review shall be summarized by the Project Geotechnical Engineer in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to issuance of building or grading permits. 3. Geotechnical Construction Inspections – The Project Geotechnical Engineer shall inspect, test (as needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspection shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage improvements, and excavations for foundations prior to the placement of steel and concrete. The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project shall be described by the Project Geotechnical Engineer in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final project approval. LIMITATIONS This geotechnical peer review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the City of Saratoga in its discretionary permit decisions. Our services have been limited to review of the documents previously identified, and a visual review of the property. Our opinions and conclusions are made in accordance with generally accepted principles and practices of the geotechnical profession. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied.

Non-Hazardous Materials Berm and cover stockpiles of sand, dirt or other construction material ‰ with tarps when rain is forecast or when they are not in use. Use (but don’t overuse) reclaimed water for dust control. ‰ Ensure dust control water doesn’t leave site or discharge to storm ‰ drains. Hazardous Materials Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as ‰ pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fuel, oil, and antifreeze) in accordance with City, County, State and Federal regulations. Store hazardous materials and wastes in water tight containers, store ‰ in appropriate secondary containment, and cover them at the end of every work day or during wet weather or when rain is forecast. Follow manufacturer’s application instructions for hazardous ‰ materials and do not use more than necessary. Do not apply chemicals outdoors when rain is forecast within 24 hours. Arrange for appropriate disposal of all hazardous wastes. ‰ Waste Management Cover and maintain dumpsters. Check frequently for leaks. Place ‰ dumpsters under roofs or cover with tarps or plastic sheeting secured around the outside of the dumpster. A plastic liner is recommended to prevent leaks. Never clean out a dumpster by hosing it down on the construction site. Place portable toilets away from storm drains. Make sure they are in ‰ good working order. Check frequently for leaks. Dispose of all wastes and demolition debris properly. Recycle ‰ materials and wastes that can be recycled, including solvents, water- based paints, vehicle fluids, broken asphalt and concrete, wood, and cleared vegetation. Dispose of liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues, and ‰ cleaning fluids as hazardous waste. Keep site free of litter (e.g. lunch items, cigarette butts). ‰ Prevent litter from uncovered loads by covering loads that are being ‰ transported to and from site. Construction Entrances and Perimeter Establish and maintain effective perimeter controls and stabilize all ‰ construction entrances and exits to sufficiently control erosion and sediment discharges from site and tracking off site. Sweep or vacuum any street tracking immediately and secure ‰ sediment source to prevent further tracking. Never hose down streets to clean up tracking. Materials & Waste Management Equipment Management & Spill Control Maintenance and Parking Designate an area of the construction site, well away ‰ from streams or storm drain inlets and fitted with appropriate BMPs, for auto and equipment parking, and storage. Perform major maintenance, repair jobs, and vehicle ‰ and equipment washing off site. If refueling or vehicle maintenance must be done ‰ onsite, work in a bermed area away from storm drains and over a drip pan or drop cloths big enough to collect fluids. Recycle or dispose of fluids as hazardous waste. If vehicle or equipment cleaning must be done onsite, ‰ clean with water only in a bermed area that will not allow rinse water to run into gutters, streets, storm drains, or surface waters. Do not clean vehicle or equipment onsite using soaps, ‰ solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment, and do not use diesel oil to lubricate equipment or parts onsite. Spill Prevention and Control Keep spill cleanup materials (e.g., rags, absorbents and ‰ cat litter) available at the construction site at all times. Maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment. Inspect ‰ frequently for and repair leaks. Use drip pans to catch leaks until repairs are made. Clean up leaks, drips and other spills immediately and ‰ dispose of cleanup materials properly. Use dry cleanup methods whenever possible ‰ (absorbent materials, cat litter and/or rags). Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Never ‰ attempt to “wash them away” with water, or bury them. Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and ‰ properly disposing of contaminated soil. Report significant spills to the appropriate local spill ‰ response agencies immediately. If the spill poses a significant hazrd to human health and safety, property or the environment, you must report it to the State Office of Emergency Services. (800) 852-7550 (24 hours). Earthmoving Grading and Earthwork Schedule grading and excavation work ‰ during dry weather. Stabilize all denuded areas, install and ‰ maintain temporary erosion controls (such as erosion control fabric or bonded fiber matrix) until vegetation is established. Remove existing vegetation only when ‰ absolutely necessary, plant temporary vegetation for erosion control on slopes or where construction is not immediately planned. Prevent sediment from migrating offsite ‰ and protect storm drain inlets, drainage courses and streams by installing and maintaining appropriate BMPs (i.e. silt fences, gravel bags, fiber rolls, temporary swales, etc.). Keep excavated soil on site and transfer it ‰ to dump trucks on site, not in the streets. Contaminated Soils If any of the following conditions are ‰ observed, test for contamination and contact the Regional Water Quality Control Board: Unusual soil conditions, discoloration, - or odor. Abandoned underground tanks. - Abandoned wells - Buried barrels, debris, or trash. - If the above conditions are observed, ‰ document any signs of potential contamination and clearly mark them so they are not distrurbed by construction activities. Landscaping Protect stockpiled landscaping materials ‰ from wind and rain by storing them under tarps all year-round. Stack bagged material on pallets and ‰ under cover. Discontinue application of any erodible ‰ landscape material within 2 days before a forecast rain event or during wet weather. Paving Avoid paving and seal coating in wet ‰ weather or when rain is forecast, to prevent materials that have not cured from contacting stormwater runoff. Cover storm drain inlets and manholes ‰ when applying seal coat, slurry seal, fog seal, or similar materials. Collect and recycle or properly dispose of ‰ excess abrasive gravel or sand. Do NOT sweep or wash it into gutters. Sawcutting & Asphalt/Concrete Removal Protect storm drain inlets during saw ‰ cutting. If saw cut slurry enters a catch basin, ‰ clean it up immediately. Shovel or vacuum saw cut slurry deposits ‰ and remove from the site. When making saw cuts, use as little water as possible. Sweep up, and properly dispose of all residues. Concrete Management Store both dry and wet materials under ‰ cover, protected from rainfall and runoff and away from storm drains or waterways. Store materials off the ground, on pallets. Protect dry materials from wind. Wash down exposed aggregate concrete ‰ only when the wash water can (1) flow onto a dirt area; (2) drain onto a bermed surface from which it can be pumped and disposed of properly; or (3) block any storm drain inlets and vacuum washwater from the gutter. If possible, sweep first. Wash out concrete equipment/trucks offsite ‰ or in a designated washout area onsite, where the water will flow into a temporary waste pit, and make sure wash water does not leach into the underlying soil. (See CASQA Construction BMP Handbook for properly designed concrete washouts.) Dewatering Discharges of groundwater or captured ‰ runoff from dewatering operations must be properly managed and disposed. When possible, send dewatering discharge to landscaped area or sanitary sewer. If discharging to the sanitary sewer, call your local wastewater treatment plant. Divert run-on water from offsite away from ‰ all disturbed areas. When dewatering, notify and obtain ‰ approval from the local municipality before discharging water to a street gutter or storm drain. Filtration or diversion through a basin, tank, or sediment trap may be required. In areas of known or suspected ‰ contamination, call your local agency to determine whether the ground water must be tested. Pumped groundwater may need to be collected and hauled off-site for treatment and proper disposal. Painting Cleanup and Removal Never clean brushes or rinse paint ‰ containers into a street, gutter, storm drain, or stream. For water-based paints, paint out brushes ‰ to the extent possible, and rinse into a drain that goes to the sanitary sewer. Never pour paint down a storm drain. For oil-based paints, paint out brushes to ‰ the extent possible and clean with thinner or solvent in a proper container. Filter and reuse thinners and solvents. Dispose of excess liquids as hazardous waste. Sweep up or collect paint chips and dust ‰ from non-hazardous dry stripping and sand blasting into plastic drop cloths and dispose of as trash. Chemical paint stripping residue and chips ‰ and dust from marine paints or paints containing lead, mercury, or tributyltin must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Lead based paint removal requires a state- certified contractor.

UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED, ALL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES SHALL BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE THE DESGINATED FENCED AREA (EVEN AFTER FENCING IS REMOVED). THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: DEMOLITION, GRADING, TRENCHING, EQUIPMENT CLENAING, STOCKPILING AND DUMPING MATERIALS (INCLUDING SOIL FILL), AND EQUIPMENT/VEHICLE OPERATION AND PARKING. 5. THE DISPOSAL OF HARMFUL PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CHEMICALS, PAINT RINSE WATER, FUEL, CEMENT WATER RINSE, HERBICIDES, OR OTHER MATERIALS IS PROHIBITED BENEATH TREE CANOPIES OR ANYWHERE ON SITE THAT ALLOWS DRAINAGE BENEATH TREE CANOPIES. 6. THE FOLLOWING SIGNS WILL BE REQUIRED ON THE TREE PROTECTION FENCES: "TREE PROTECTION FENCE - DO NOT MOVE OR REMOVE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL OF CITY ARBORIST. SEE ARBORIST REPORT BY RICHARD GESSNER FOR MORE INFO. FENCING AROUND TREES DURING CONSTRUCTION:A TEMPORARY FENCE SHALL BE ERECTED AROUND EACH TREE TO BE RETAINED. THE FENCE SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE DRIP LINE OR A MINIMUM OF 5’ FROM THE TRUNK WHICH EVER IS GREATER. THE FENCE SHOULD BE ERECTED SO IT WILL NOT BE EASY FOR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TO REMOVE OR RELOCATE. THIS FENCING MUST BE ERECTED BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ENTERS THE SITE AND MUST NOT BE REMOVED UNTIL FINAL LANDSCAPE GRADING IS COMPLETE. SOIL COMPACTION AND TRENCHING THROUGH ROOT ZONES ARE THE MAJOR CAUSES OF TREE STRESS IN THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD. IT SHOULD BE EXPLAINED CLEARLY TO ALL CONTRACTORS AND WORKERS ON SITE THAT THESE FENCES ARE IMPORTANT AND ARE NOT TO BE REMOVED. TRENCHING OF ANY SORT AND FOR ANY REASON MUST BE PLANNED TO AVOID TRAVERSING AREAS WITHIN THE TREE DRIP LINES.

Currently the proposed fencing design overlaps with proposed work on site, and therefore is not feasible, as it would inhibit work from occurring. Fencing should be placed at 5’ beyond the edge of the canopy when possible. Where this is not possible, place the fencing at its furthest extent possible, while still allowing for work on site to be completed. NOTE DONE. MCA Response: The fence locations are portrayed on Page 10 of this report and on the site plan. 7.All trees that have an existing canopy within 5’ of proposed development must be included in the report. There appear to be additional trees that are protected by City Code with existing canopies within 5 of proposed development on site. The additional trees are located on the south side of the proposed driveway and consist of coast live oak, bay and one eucalyptus to the southwest of the proposed home (though it is difficult to discern if this tree is within the scope as it is not included on the site plan or grading plan). These trees must be added to the report, and their appraised values factored into the security deposit for the site. NOT DONE - Due to newly proposed drainage/utilities there are also additional trees along the western/southern edge of the site to be included. Any proposed utility locations should be shared with the project arborist. MCA Response: Additional trees labeled #295 to #305 have been added to the report and the plans. None of these trees will be highly impacted by the proposed project. Additional trees along the drainage including two large eucalyptus and some small oaks were also included. The new civil plans keep the drainage and dissipator out of the area around these trees, and none are expected to be impacted.

In order to establish if retention of these trees is feasible, please perform an exploratory trench to establish the size and quantity of existing roots that will be encountered. The trench should be dug by hand, to the proposed excavation depth, leaving all encountered roots intact. Upon completion, please update the report with your findings, as well as any additional mitigation measures. NOT DONE. MCA Response: The trench was completed and revealed eight lateral roots between one and three inches near the soil surface (Page 9). There were no larger structural roots near the root collar revealed. Based on the trench I would not expect the trees to be adversely affected or compromised structurally. a.Alternatively, if tree removal is pursued due to the high likelihood of severe impacts to roots with 6 times DBH, please update your report to reflect these trees as being removed. Any proposed tree removal must be justified using the City’s removal criteria. Please identify which criteria are met in the report. Additionally, a required replacement cost must be added to the report equalling 100% of the value of any tree proposed for removal. Any trees that are proposed for removal do not need to be included in the value of the security deposit for the project site. NOT DONE. MCA Response: The trees in question are subject of a tree removal permit application for #1981 and #1982. However they originate on the adjacent site. Because exploratory trenching did not reveal expected significant impacts to the trees they will be requested to be retained with the driveway as planned.

The residence requires a driveway and firetruck turn around. The inventory contains twenty-two trees comprised of thirteen Tasmanian blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus), four coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), three bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), and two valley oak (Quercus lobata). This inventory contains ten additional trees requested by the City of Saratoga. Seven trees are in good condition, thirteen fair, and two poor. All the blue gums are poorly suited for retention due to pyrophytic nature, large size, and potential risk to both the property owners and motorists on Mount Eden Road. Two trees would be moderately impacted #1981 and #1982 but the exploratory trench did not reveal significant impacts expected. The remaining trees are located far enough from any proposed construction and will not be affected at all. Tree protection will focus on the two stands of trees near the driveway entrance. There were twenty-two trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $231,330.00. The security deposit would require twenty five percent of the total value $57,832.50.

The Saratoga municipal code protects “native trees” with trunk diameters greater than six inches and all other trees ten inches in diameter and greater. The tree diameters were measured at four and one half feet above grade (diameter at breast height DBH) on the high sides of the trees. The diameters of multi-stem trees were calculated according to the City of Saratoga’s definition, which is the sum of the full diameter of the largest stem and half the diameters of the remaining stems or measured at their smallest point below the bifurcation. The inventory contains twenty-two trees comprised of thirteen Tasmanian blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus), four coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), three bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), and two valley oak (Quercus lobata) (Chart 1).

The trees were appraised using the “Cost Approach” and more specifically the “Trunk Formula Technique” (Appendix B). “Trunk Formula Technique” is calculated as follows: Basic Tree Cost = (Unit tree cost x Appraised trunk area), Appraised Value = (Basic tree cost X functional Limitations (percentage) X Condition (percentage) X External Limitations (percentage)). The trunk formula valuations are based on four tree factors; size (trunk cross sectional area), condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. There are two steps to determine the overall value. The first step is to determine the “Basic Tree Cost” based on size and unit tree cost. Unit tree cost is calculated by dividing the nursery wholesale cost of a 24 inch box specimen and its replacement size (cost per square inch trunk caliper) which is determined by the Species Classification and Group Assignment, 2004 Western Chapter Regional Supplement. The cost of the 24 inch box wholesale specimen was determined through personal communications with BrightView and Normans nurseries in Farmington and Central Wholesale in San Jose for an average of $214.00. The second part is to depreciate the tree’s Basic Cost through an assessment of condition, functional limitations, and external limitations. The condition assessment guidelines and percentages are defined in the “Condition Rating” section of this report. Functional limitations are based on factors associated with the tree’s interaction to its planting site that would affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future and include genetics, placement, and site conditions for the individual tree. External limitations are outside the property, out of control of the owner and also affect condition, limit development, or reduce the utility in the future (i.e power lines, municipal restrictions, drought adaptations, or species susceptibility to pests). There were twenty-two trees appraised for a rounded depreciated value of $231,330.00. Appraisal worksheets are available upon request. Monarch Consulting Arborists LLC - P.O Box 1010, Felton, CA 95018 831.331.8982 - rick@monarcharborist.com of 6 31 22551 Mount Eden Road Tree Inventory, Assessment, and Protection Report September 15, 2020 Revised March 15, 2021 Discussion Condition Rating A tree’s condition is a determination of its overall health, structure, and form (ISA 2018). The assessment considered all three characteristics for a combined condition rating. •100% - Exceptional = Good health and structure with significant size, location or quality. •61-80% - Good = Normal vigor, well-developed structure, function and aesthetics not compromised with good longevity for the site. •41-60 % - Fair = Reduced vigor, damage, dieback, or pest problems, at least one significant structural problem or multiple moderate defects requiring treatment. Major asymmetry or deviation from the species normal habit, function and aesthetics compromised. •21-40% - Poor = Unhealthy and declining appearance with poor vigor, abnormal foliar color, size or density with potential irreversible decline. One serious structural defect or multiple significant defects that cannot be corrected and failure may occur at any time. Significant asymmetry and compromised aesthetics and intended use. •6-20% - Very Poor = Poor vigor and dying with little foliage in irreversible decline. Severe defects with the likelihood of failure being probable or imminent. Aesthetically poor with little or no function in the landscape. •0-5% - Dead/Unstable = Dead or imminently ready to fail. Seven trees are in good condition, thirteen fair, and two poor (Chart 2). Monarch Consulting Arborists LLC - P.O Box 1010, Felton, CA 95018 831.331.8982 - rick@monarcharborist.com of 7 31 Quantity 22551 Mount Eden Road Tree Inventory, Assessment, and Protection Report September 15, 2020 Revised March 15, 2021 Suitability for Preservation A tree’s suitability for preservation is determined based on Functional and External Limitations 1 (ISA, 2019) using a scale of good, fair, or poor (Fite, K, and Smiley, E. T., 2016). The following list defines the rating scale: •Good = Trees with good health, structural stability and longevity after construction. •Fair = Trees with fair health and/or structural defects that may be mitigated through treatment. These trees require more intense management and monitoring, before, during, and after construction, and may have shorter life expectancy after development. •Poor = Trees are expected to decline during or after construction regardless of management. The species or individual may possess characteristics that are incompatible or undesirable in landscape settings or unsuited for the intended use of the site. All the blue gums are poorly suited for retention due to pyrophytic nature, large size, and potential risk to both the property owners and motorists on Mount Eden Road. The oaks and bay are naturally occurring trees and their longevity is typically good for this location. Expected Impact Level Impact level defines how a tree may be affected by construction activity and proximity to the tree, and is described as low, moderate, or high. The following scale defines the impact rating: •Low = The construction activity will have little influence on the tree. •Moderate = The construction may cause future health or structural problems, and steps must be taken to protect the tree to reduce future problems. •High = Tree structure and health will be compromised and removal is recommended, or other actions must be taken for the tree to remain. The tree is located in the building envelope. The trees closest to the driveway are not expected to be significantly impacted. Some selective root removal will need to occur now that the trench has revealed the roots in this location The remaining trees are located far enough from any proposed construction and will not be affected. The drainage dissipator has been moved away from the trees and all the utilities will enter the property from under the driveway. Functional Limitations are based on factors associated with the tree’s interaction to its planting site 1 affecting plant condition, limiting plant development, or reducing the utility in the future and include genetics, placement, and site conditions for the individual tree (ISA, 2019). External Limitations are outside the property, out of control of the owner and also affect plant condition, limit plant development, or reduce the utility in the future (i.e power lines, municipal restrictions, drought adaptations, or species susceptibility to pests) (ISA, 2019).

The trench was about three feet deep and twelve inches wide. Inside the trench were smaller feeder roots and eight lateral roots between one and three inches in diameter (Image 1). The roots can be selectively removed to allow for the construction of the driveway and retaining wall (Costello, L., Watson, G., Smiley, E. T.. 2017).

The tree protection zone (TPZ) is the defined area in which certain activities are prohibited to minimize potential injury to the tree. The most current accepted method for determining the TPZ radius is to use a formula based on species tolerance, tree age/ vigor/health, and trunk diameter (Matheny, N. and Clark, J. 1998) (Fite, K, and Smiley, E. T., 2016). Tree protection will focus on the two stands of trees near the driveway entrance. These are the only trees close to any proposed construction on the site.

It is suggested roots greater than one inch in diameter should be pruned rather than left torn or crushed. Roots should be cut with sharp tools so as to leave “a clean flat surface with intact surrounding bark.” 3.All tree maintenance and care shall be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree maintenance and care shall be specified in writing according to American National Standard for Tree Care Operations: Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Management: Standard Practices parts 1 through 10 and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards and local regulations. All maintenance is to be performed according to ISA Best Management Practices. 4.Refer to Appendix D for general tree protection guidelines including recommendations for arborist assistance while working under trees, trenching, or excavation within a trees drip line or designated TPZ/CRZ. 5.Place all the tree protection fence locations and guidelines on the plans including the grading, drainage, and utility plans. Alternatively create a separate plan sheet that includes all three protection measures labeled “T-1 Tree Protection Plan.” 6.Provide a copy of this report to all contractors and project managers, including the architect, civil engineer, and landscape designer or architect. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all parties are familiar with this document. 7.Arrange a pre-construction meeting with the project arborist or landscape architect to verify tree protection is in place, with the correct materials, and at the proper distances. 8.Have a qualified arborist perform a Level 2: Basic Tree Risk Assessment according to the most recent edition of the Best Management Practices: Tree Risk Assessment prior to site occupancy.

Prior to beginning work, all contractors involved with the project should attend a pre construction meeting with the project arborist to review the tree protection guidelines. Access routes, storage areas, and work procedures will be discussed. Tree Protection Zones and Fencing   Tree protection fencing should be established prior to the arrival of construction equipment or materials on site. Fencing should be comprised of six-foot high chain link fencing mounted on eight-foot tall, 1 7/8-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground and spaced no more than 10 feet apart. Once established, the fencing must remain undisturbed and be maintained throughout the construction process until final inspection. The fencing should be maintained throughout the site during the construction period and should be inspected periodically for damage and proper functions. Fencing should be repaired, as necessary, to provide a physical barrier from construction activities. A final inspection by the city arborist at the end of the project will be required prior to removing any tree protection fence and replacement tree shall be planted at this time. Monitoring Any trenching, construction or demolition that is expected to damage or encounter tree roots should be monitored by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist and should be documented. The site should be evaluated by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist after construction is complete, and any necessary remedial work that needs to be performed should be noted. Restrictions Within the Tree Protection Zone No storage of construction materials, debris, or excess soil will be allowed within the Tree Protection Zone. Spoils from the trenching shall not be placed within the tree protection zone either temporarily or permanently. Construction personnel and equipment shall be routed outside the tree protection zones.

When roots over two inches in diameter are encountered they should be pruned by hand with loppers, handsaw, reciprocating saw, or chain saw rather than left crushed or torn. Roots should be cut beyond sinker roots or outside root branch junctions and be supervised by the project arborist. When completed, exposed roots should be kept moist with burlap or backfilled within one hour. Boring or Tunneling Boring machines should be set up outside the drip line or established Tree Protection Zone. Boring may also be performed by digging a trench on both sides of the tree until roots one inch in diameter are encountered and then hand dug or excavated with an Air Spade® or similar air or water excavation tool. Bore holes should be adjacent to the trunk and never go directly under the main stem to avoid oblique (heart) roots. Bore holes should be a minimum of three feet deep. Timing If the construction is to occur during the summer months supplemental watering and bark beetle treatments should be applied to help ensure survival during and after construction. Tree Pruning and Removal Operations All tree pruning or removals should be performed by a qualified arborist with a C-61/D-49 California Contractors License. Tree pruning should be specified according to ANSI A-300A pruning standards and adhere to ANSI Z133.1 safety standards. Trees that need to be removed or pruned should be identified in the pre-construction walk through. Tree Protection Signs All sections of fencing should be clearly marked with signs stating that all areas within the fencing are Tree Protection Zones and that disturbance is prohibited. Text on the signs should be in both English and Spanish (Appendix C) and read TREE PROTECTION ZONE DO NOT MOVE OR REMOVE FENCE WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE CITY ARBORIST, KATE BEAR (408) 868-1276.

Once the project is completed, inspected, and approved by the city arborist (a building inspector cannot release the tree security deposit) the bond will be released. Trees damaged by construction activity will require replanting equal to the appraised value state herein. 15-50.080 - Determination on permit (d) Security deposits and maintenance bonds. In the case of an application for, or a project involving encroachment on one or more protected trees, the applicant shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to twenty-five percent to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved at the discretion of the approving authority; provided, however, that any project involving multiple structures or a multi-family structure shall post a security deposit with the City in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the ISA valuation of the trees involved. The City may also require posting of a maintenance bond or security deposit of at least five years designed to ensure long term maintenance of the affected or replacement trees. Security deposits or maintenance bonds required for protected trees or replacement trees in public or private development may, in the reasonable discretion of the Community Development Director, be refunded upon a determination that the project is in compliance with the City Arborist's requirements and/or Tree Preservation Plan. In the case of violations of this Article or where replacement, restitution, or other remedy required pursuant to Section 15-50.170 cannot be made on the project site, then such payments shall be made from the deposit or bond being held before any refund is made.
