The trash enclosure would measure 121/2-feet tall and would match the building colors and materials. Site Modifications/Improvements The three existing driveways off Sunol Boulevard would be removed and two new driveways on Sunol Boulevard would be installed to provide access to the proposed development. At the present time, the long, narrow corridor of land connecting to Sycamore Road would remain undeveloped and there would be no access to this development from Sycamore Road. Future access to Sycamore Road might occur for the subject development when the adjacent 336 Sycamore Road property is developed with an office building as allowed by the NSSP. A total of 101 off-street parking spaces are proposed for the site, comprised of 66 standard-sized spacers (including four handicap accessible spaces) and 35 compact-sized spaces. Bicycle racks would be provided near the northwest and southwest corners of the building. Pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, a tree survey and analysis for this project site has been prepared by John Traverso, a Certified Arborist with Traverso Tree Service. The report describes the species, size, location, health, and value ol'the existing trees over six inches in diameter on or near the properties and also recommends special precautions necessary for trees worth preserving. There are 48 existing trees over six inches in diameter on or near the properties, including 32 of which are defined as "Heritage Tree" by the Municipal Code (i.e., a tree which measures 35 feet or greater in height or which measures 55 inches or greater in circumference). The report concluded 13 of the 48 existing trees near the proposed development warranted saving. Those to be saved include eight large eucalyptus, one black walnut, and three valley oak trees near the northern property line and one valley oak tree at the southeast corner o~f the property. Since the writing of the tree report, the applicant revised the northern parking area, allowing two additional trees to be saved (Tree No. 5, a black locust tree and Tree No. 6, a deodar cedar tree). Of the 33 trees to be removed, only one is an oak tree (an 8-inch diameter valley oak). Other trees to be removed include black locust, plum, tree of heaven, black wood acacia, black walnut, elderberry, and magnolia, most of these being in fair to poor condition. Page - 6
