Arborist Report
Client: Live Oak Associates - Attention: Katrina Krakow
Site: 50 Los Gatos-Saratoga Rd, Los Gatos CA
As per your request, Moki Smith Tree Specialists surveyed the site at 50 Los Gatos
- Saratoga road CA, to identify and assess the trees greater than 6” in trunk
diameter at breast height, located on the subject property. There are 330 trees
included in this report, documented on the subject property or on adjacent property
lots where the canopies extend into the subject property. Many of the trees on site
are located around the perimeter and are often contacting the chainlink fence that
sits on the property line. Most of the substantial trees listed are Eucalyptus trees,
Coastal Live Oak trees, Deodar Cedar trees, or Liquid Ambar trees. The trees on
the interior of the property are, for the most part, in fair to good condition. Of the
330 trees, 189 are considered protected trees by the Town of Los Gatos, under the
size ordinance. There are 73 trees catalogued on the hill at the South, East side of
the property. The majority of the hillside trees are Coastal Live Oaks that range
from poor to good condition.
Please feel free to call for further clarification.
Respectfully submitted,
Moki Smith

Protected Trees in the Town of Los Gatos
The Town of Los Gatos has established guidelines for the protection of trees.
Removing or excessively pruning a “Protected” tree requires a permit. The
guidelines classify protected trees as follows:
1.Trees with a 12-inch or greater diameter on developed residential
property.
2.Trees with an 8-inch or greater diameter on developed hillside
residential property.
3.Specific 8-inch or greater diameter tree species are located on any
developed residential property, including Blue Oak, California
Buckeye, Black Oak, and Pacific Madrone.
4.Trees with a 4-inch or greater diameter on vacant or non-residential
property.
5.Trees with a 4-inch or greater diameter when removal relates to any
development review.
6.Any tree mandated to be planted or retained by the terms and
conditions of a development approval, building permit, tree removal
permit, or code enforcement action.
However, there are exceptions, such as fruit or nut trees less than 18 inches in
diameter and certain other species less than 24 inches in diameter, including
Black Acacia, Tree of Heaven, Tulip Tree, various Eucalyptus species, Palm,
and Privet.
Tree tags to be retained during construction - 5056, 5057, 5059, 5060, 5062, 5063, 5075,

5102, 5103, 5104, 5115, 5116
Additional trees to be retained from addendum: 5464, 5465, 5466, 5468, 5474, 5475, 5476,
5485, 5486
Page of 182 230
All other trees must be removed to facilitate project construction.
Tree Protection Measures for construction
Construction Site - Tree Preservation
• To the extent feasible, avoid root damage through grading, trenching,
compaction, etc., at least within an area 1.5 times the ‘drip-line’ area of trees.
Where root damage cannot be avoided, roots encountered (over 1" diameter)
should be exposed approximately 12" beyond the area to be disturbed (towards tree
stem), by hand excavation, or with specialized hydraulic or pneumatic equipment,
cut cleanly with hand pruners or power saw, and immediately back-filled with soil.
Avoid tearing, or otherwise disturbing that portion of the root(s) to remain.
• Construct a temporary fence as far from the tree stem (trunk) as feasible, at the
drip-line of the tree, or to the specified location as directed by the project arborist.
This fencing should completely surround the tree, except in areas that will not have
any construction activity. Post no parking or storage signs outside / on fencing. Do
not attach posting to the main-stem of the tree.
• Do not allow vehicles, equipment, pedestrian traffic; building materials or
debris storage; or disposal of toxic or other materials inside of the fenced off
area.
• Trees that will be impacted by construction may benefit from fertilization, ideally
performed in the fall, and preferably prior to any construction activities.
• Mulch rooting area with an acidic, organic compost or mulch.
• Arrange for periodic (Biannual or Quarterly) inspection of tree's condition, and
treatment of damaging conditions (insects, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, etc.) as
they occur, or as appropriate.
• Individual trees likely to suffer significant impacts may require specific, more
Page of 183 230
extensive efforts and/or a more detailed specification than those contained within
these general guidelines.
Sec. 29.10.1005. Protection of trees during construction.
Protective tree fencing shall specify the following:
(1)Size and materials. Six (6) foot high chain link fencing, mounted on two-inch diameter
galvanized iron posts, shall be driven into the ground to a depth of at least two (2) feet at no
more than 10-foot spacing. For paving area that will not be demolished and when stipulated
in a tree preservation plan, posts may be supported by a concrete base.
(2)Area type to be fenced. Type I: Enclosure with chain link fencing of either the entire dripline
area or at the tree protection zone (TPZ), when specified by a certified or consulting arborist.
Type II: Enclosure for street trees located in a planter strip: chain link fence around the entire
planter strip to the outer branches. Type III: Protection for a tree located in a small planter
cutout only (such as downtown): orange plastic fencing shall be wrapped around the trunk
from the ground to the first branch with 2-inch wooden boards bound securely on the
outside. Caution shall be used to avoid damaging any bark or branches.
(3)Duration of Type I, II, III fencing. Fencing shall be erected before demolition, grading or
construction permits are issued and remain in place until the work is completed. Contractor
shall Page 14 first obtain the approval of the project arborist on record prior to removing a
tree protection fence.
(4)Warning sign. Each tree fence shall have prominently displayed an 8.5 x 11-inch sign stating:
"Warning—Tree Protection Zone-this fence shall not be removed and is subject to penalty
according to Town Code 29.10.1025”
(5)Prior to the commencement of construction, install the fence at the dripline, around any tree
and/or vegetation to be retained which could be affected by the construction and prohibit any
storage of construction materials or other materials, equipment cleaning, or parking of
vehicles within the TPZ. The dripline shall not be altered in any way so as to increase the
encroachment of the construction.
(6)Prohibit all construction activities within the TPZ, including but not limited to: excavation,
grading, drainage and leveling within the dripline of the tree unless approved by the Director.
(7)Prohibit disposal or depositing of oil, gasoline, chemicals or other harmful materials within
the dripline of or in drainage channels, swales or areas that may lead to the dripline of a
protected tree.
(8)Prohibit the attachment of wires, signs or ropes to any protected tree.
(9)Design utility services and irrigation lines to be located outside of the dripline when feasible.
(10)Retain the services of a certified or consulting arborist who shall serve as the project arborist
for periodic monitoring of the project site and the health of those trees to be preserved. The
Page of 184 230
project arborist shall be present whenever activities occur which may pose a potential threat
to the health of the trees to be preserved and shall document all site visits.
(11)The Director and project arborist shall be notified of any damage that occurs to a protected
tree during construction so that proper treatment may be administered.

Sec. 29.10.1010. Pruning and maintenance.
All pruning shall be in accordance with the current version of the International Society of
Arboriculture Best Management Practices—Tree Pruning and ANSI A300-Part 1 Tree, Shrub and
Other Woody Plant Management—Standard Practices, (Pruning) and any special conditions as
determined by the Director. For developments, which require a tree preservation report, a
certified or consulting arborist shall be in reasonable charge of all activities involving protected
trees, including pruning, cabling and any other work if specified.
Any public utility installing or maintaining any overhead wires or underground pipes or conduits
in the vicinity of a protected tree shall obtain permission from the Director before performing
any work, including pruning, which may cause injury to a protected tree. (e.g. cable TV/fiber
optic trenching, gas, water, sewer trench, etc.).
Pruning for clearance of utility lines and energized conductors shall be performed in compliance
with the current version of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 (Part 1)-
Pruning, Section 5.9 Utility Pruning. Using spikes or gaffs when pruning, except where no other
alternative is available, is prohibited.
No person shall prune, trim, cut off, or perform any work, on a single occasion or cumulatively,
over a three-year period, affecting twenty-five percent or more of the crown of any protected tree
without first obtaining a permit pursuant to this division except for pollarding of fruitless
mulberry trees (Morus alba) or other species approved by the Town Arborist. Applications for a
pruning permit shall include photographs indicating where pruning is proposed. Page 15
No person shall remove any Heritage tree or large protected tree branch or root through pruning
or other method greater than four (4) inches in diameter (12.5” in circumference) without first
obtaining a permit pursuant to this division.
Sec. 29.10.1025. Enforcement—Remedies for violation.
In addition to all other remedies set forth in this code or otherwise provided by law, the following
remedies shall be available to the Town for violation of this division:
Page of 186 230
(1)Tree removals in absence of or in anticipation of development. If a violation occurs in the
absence of or prior to proposed development, then discretionary applications and/or building
permit applications will not be accepted or processed by the Town until the violation has
been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Director. Mitigation measures as
determined by the Director may be imposed as a condition of any subsequent application
approval or permit for development on the subject property. A mitigation plan shall include
specific measures for the protection of any remaining trees on the property, and shall provide
for the replacement of each hillside tree that was removed illegally with a new tree(s) in the
same location(s) as those illegally removed tree(s). The replacement ratio shall be at a
greater ratio than that required in accordance with the standards set forth in Sec. 29.10.0985
of this division. If the court or the Director directs a replacement tree or trees to be planted as
part of the remedy for the violation, the trees shall be permanently maintained in a good and
healthy condition. The property owner shall execute a five-year written maintenance
agreement with the Town. For those trees on public property, replacement is to be
determined by the Director of Community Development or by the Director of Parks and
Public Works.
