Description
Tree removal exemption. San Jose Water Company maintains a private easement referred to as Ellege Road in unincorporated Santa Clara County near the intersection of Black and Thomason roads in Los Gatos. Ellege Road is the sole ingress/egress route for 6 households located at the southern extent of the road. San Jose Water has identified approximately 20 mature Eucalyptus globus trees ranging from 16-50 DBH along the Ellege Road corridor that pose imminent risk to life and property. This includes numerous dead, diseased and dying trees, as well as trees that are not structurally sound and likely to fall on the road and/or infrastructure. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that in my professional opinion (as a Registered Professional Forester) I concur with San Jose Water’s evaluation of the trees and the need for immediate management and removal. Attached to this letter are example pictures of the proposed tree removal and a map of the project area.
