Re: Arborist Addendum for Proposed Driveway at 16 Chestnut Ave. in Los Gatos
Dear Ana,
At your request, I have visited the property referenced above to evaluate the trees present with
regard to the planned single family home construction.
Summary:
As part of the ongoing construction project at this address, the existing driveway will be
demolished, and a new driveway will be installed in approximately the same location.
Three driveway footprint options have been presented to me: (1) retain approximately the
existing footprint; (2) reconfigure the driveway to enter on Chestnut Avenue; and (3) reconfigure
the driveway to enter on Hernandez A venue. Two materials have been proposed to me for the
new driving surface: (A) pervious pavers, and (B) crushed rock.
The option least impactful to the tree would be to ( 1) retain approximately the existing footprint,
and to use (B) crushed rock for the driving surface. Options 2 and 3 would involve large grading
cuts near the trunk of tree #6, necessitating tree removal. Option (A) pervious pavers would
impact the tree more than option B, but would not necessitate tree removal.
