SycW1= Sycamore Rand Rail Fencing 7`t (24'Pavaneenc Width) P91ie L- S'Gravel Setback Landscaping While a number of trees are proposed for removal, a majority of the trees are in poor health as noted in the Arborist Report, Exhibit D. The applicant has made an effort to retain most Heritage trees on-site. One Heritage tree, a 19.5-inch diameter valley oak in poor health in close proximity to the proposed residence, is proposed for removal. As previously articulated, a number of the proposed redwoods (which are slated for removal) were planted to screen a water tank to the rear of the residence which would remain in place with the proposed project. Staff finds that given the extensive planting plan, including approximately 50 trees to be planted, the proposed tree removal has been adequately mitigated and is acceptable. The proposed landscaping will plant new trees that that will be in better health and condition than the trees proposed to be removed, soften the mass of the proposed house toward the rear, continue serve to screen the water tank toward the south (rear) and sides (east and west) as required in application PCUP-205, and provide a landscape buffer screening the proposed residence from Sycamore Road. The Landscape Plans include photo simulations from Sycamore Road with the proposed residence and indicating one- and five-year growth of the landscaping, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 below.
