EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Magnolia Place Subdivision is a 44 -1ot subdivision on Magnolia Avenue, Samuel Drivez and Gossage
Avenue. The subdivision received tentative map approval on February24, 2003. On June 21, 2004, the
City Council approved resolution,2004- , 1'.07 therein authorizing "the developer °to commence rough site
grading on the Magnolia Avenue portion as well as rough:grading on the Gossageportion of the site
upon SPARC'S approval of the tree mitigation plan. Rough grading for the project is currently in
process. The developer is ,requesting approval , of'the Magnolia Plat, ce Subdivision final map.
2. BACKGROUND
On June 21, 2004 the City Council considered allowing grading:prior to approval of the improvement
plans and final map for Magnolia Place subdivision. The Council granted. permission for the .O'Brien
Group to begin grading of the Magnolia property. However, due to the need for reengineering of the soil:
and the consequent removal, of the: trees on the northern andsouthern .property line of the Gossage Site,
. the Council conditioned the, • Tree Mitigation Plan. The Co neil directed staff toasend th
notification C7e site on SPARC approval of the
regarding SPARC's .consideration
of the Tree Mitigation Plan and the additional loss of trees, to all properties within 500 feet of the project
site.
On July 15. SPARC reviewed, the landscape plan and Tree- Miti'gat'ion Plan. The Tree Mitigation was
approved, but revisions 'were requested to the landscape plan that would not affect tree removal.
Specifically, due to their concerns regarding the survival . of ,oak trees proposed to be relocated, the
Committee wanted all relocated trees to be plantedin common areas rather than in private yards so that
they would be maintained. by the Homeowners' Association. In addition, SPARC required that an
arborist document all: trees, to be relocated or impacted and .be present on site .during work within the
driplines' of trees. The developer must also :guarantee the survival of 'the trees for five years.
On August 1,2, SPARC' again reviewed project details.. The Committee approved, grading for all pad
grades with the exc_' ti of lots 1 through 5. Final .architecture; landscaping and lighting details are. to
return once the applicant has addressed all inconsistencies in the and has addressed.neighbors' and
Committee concerns. 'The applicant has indicated tl at'revised plans will be submitted in October.
The City has entered into ' Professional Services Agreement with, Horticultural Associates to monitor all 11
activities within dripliries of trees: and to document, all trees to.be: relocated or impacted as required by
SPARC. The
developer has begun to fence off trees slated for preservation. The City's arborist has
advised that some ',of the trees cannot be fenced off � until some of the underbrush and deadfall is
removed. He has approved the °removal of eucalyptus trees. underbrush so that effective fencing can
be implemented. fihe arborist is regularly inspecting the site to ensure compliance with the Tree
Mitigation Plan.
The developer is aware that if the-final SPARC approval requiresLchanges to the grading plan he will be
responsible for implementing those requirements.
