31. ** *TREE PROTECTION. During the project's design phase, the following measures
shall be implemented:
• The trunk location and dripline of the trees to be retained will be plotted and Tree
Preservation Notes shall be included on all plans.
• Any plan affecting trees shall be reviewed by the Consulting Arborist to ensure that
improvement plans, utility and drainage plans, grading plans, landscape and irrigation
plans, and demolition plans will not adversely affect the trees to be retained.
• The Consulting Arborist will identify a Tree Protection Zone for the trees to be
retained. The Tree Protection Zone shall be defined by the dripline.
• No underground services including utilities, sub - drains, water or sewer shall be placed
in the Tree Protection Zone.
• Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around trees and
labeled for that use.
32. ** *TREE PROTECTION. During the pre - construction phase the following measures shall
be implemented:
• A fence shall be constructed around the trees to be retained and it shall completely
enclose the Tree Protection Zone prior to construction or grading. Fencing shall be
10
6 -foot chain link.
• The trees to be retained shall be pruned to clean the crown of dead, dying, diseased
and otherwise structurally weak branches and to provide adequate clearance for
construction as necessary. All pruning shall be performed by a Certified Arborist or
Tree Worker in accordance with the Tree Pruning Guidelines of the International
Society of Arboriculture. The contractor must possess a valid California Contractor's
License, with a specialty in tree care (C- 61/D -49).
• Any demolition to occur adjacent to the trees to be retained must be performed by hand
or, where approved by the Consulting Arborist, by small equipment.
33. ** *TREE PROTECTION. During construction, the following measures shall be
implemented:
• Root - injured trees have a limited capacity to absorb water. Therefore, it is important
to ensure adequate soil moisture in the area of active roots. One to several irrigations
may be needed for trees that are at risk or affected by construction. Irrigations shall
be specified by the Consulting Arborist.
• Any grading, construction, demolition, or other work that is expected to encounter
roots of trees to be retained (including the oak trees located off -site) shall be monitored
by the Consulting Arborist.
• If injury to a tree should occur during construction, it should be evaluated as soon as
possible by the Consulting Arborist so that appropriate treatments can be made.
• During construction, any trees to be removed that are adjacent to the trees to be
retained must be removed by the Consulting Arborist rather than by the contractor.
1 i
Nearby trees cannot be removed by pushing with large equipment because root injury
to adjacent trees will occur.
• Any additional pruning required to provide clearance during construction shall be
performed by a Certified Arborist and not by construction personnel.
• If excavation must occur within the Tree Protection Zone, the Consulting Arborist will
determine where hand work and root pruning are required.
34. TREE REMOVAL PERMITS. Tree Removal Permits shall be obtained prior to the
issuance of a Building and /or Grading Permit. Trees label #13 and #20 shall be saved.

Forestry Department approved mitigation and protection measures. The Oak trees on the
shared property line with the First Church of Christ Scientist are consider within the
immediate vicinity of this project.
36. TREE DRIPLINE LIMITATIONS. Construction or grading is prohibited within the
dripline of existing trees. Tree protection fencing is required at the dripline of the trees
proposed to be retained, prior to and during construction. This condition applies to both
on -site and off -site trees in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project which may be
affected by the proposed construction of this project, including the Oak trees on the shared
property line with the First Church of Christ Scientist.
37. TREE PROTECTION. Existing trees shall be protected prior to and during construction
only by Parks and Forestry Department approved mitigation and protection measures. The
12
applicant should contact the Parks and Forestry Department at (408) 399 -5774 or 399-
5777 for site- specific mitigation measures.
38. TREE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. A site specific tree maintenance program that
incorporates the Town Arborist's recommendations should be developed for the property's
existing trees.

approved evergreen and deciduous trees along the shared property line with the
Neighborhood Center Building, and consistent with the other elements of the conceptual
landscaping plan received on August 5, 1998, shall be submitted to the Parks and Forestry
Department at the time an architectural and site application is submitted to the Planning
Department. The plan shall include a tree planting legend which includes species, size,
and quantity of the proposed trees. Appropriate species include: Oaks, Cedars, or
Redwoods in minimum 24" box sizes.
40. IRRIGATION SYSTEM. All newly planted landscaping shall be irrigated by an in- ground
irrigation system. Special care shall be taken to avoid irrigation which will endanger
existing native trees and vegetation or any water sensitive species such as Oak trees.
41. WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT. The proposed landscaping
shall meet the Town of Los Gatos Water Conservation Ordinance. A review fee based on
the current fee schedule adopted by the Town Council is required when working landscape
