555 West Middlefield Rd.
Mountain View, CA
Introduction and Overview
AvalonBay Communities is planning to redevelop the site at 555 West Middlefield Rd. in Mountain View, CA. HortScience | Bartlett Consulting, Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co. (H | BC) has prepared several iterations of arborist reports for this site beginning in 2016 and was asked to prepare a Preliminary Arborist Report for the site as part of the submittal to the City of Mountain View. The site currently consists of apartment buildings, with recreational facilities, associated parking and landscaping.
This report provides the following information:
1. An evaluation of the health and structural condition of the trees within the propose d pr
oject area based on a visual inspection from the ground.
2. A preliminary assessment of trees that will be preserved and removed based on AvalonBay Communities’ preliminary plans.
3. Preliminary guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction, and mai
ntenance phases of development.
Tree Assessment Methods
Trees were originally assessed in November of 2012 and conditions were updated on June 29- 30, 2016. Trees were added to the scope February 26, 2019 and October 2024. The assessment included all trees 4” and greater located within the proposed project area and trees with branches that extended into the project area. The assessment procedure consisted of the following steps:
1. Identifying the tree species;
2. Tagging each tree with a numerically coded metal tag and recording its location on a map;
3. Meas
uring the trunk diameter at a point 54” above grade;
4. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 1 to 5:
5 - A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with good structure and form typical of the species.
4 - Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, minor structural defects that could be corrected.
3 - Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning of crown, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care.
2 - Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated. 1 - Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.
5. Rating the su itability for preservation as “high”, “moderate” or “low”. Suitability for preservation considers the health, age, and structural condition of the tree species and its potential to remain an asset to the site.
High: Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site.
Moderate: Trees with somewhat declining health and/or structural defects than can be abated with treatment. The tree will require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter life span than those in ‘high’ category.
Low: Trees in poor health or with significant structural defects that cannot be mitigated. Tree is expected to continue to decline, regardless of treatment. The species or individual tree may have characteristics that are undesirable for landscapes, and generally are unsuited for use areas.

escription of Trees
HortScience | Bartlett Consulting evaluated 442 trees, representing 19 different species (Table 1, next page), including 10 street trees and 14 off-site trees whose branches extended over the site.
Overall, the trees at the site were in good (38%), fair (43%), and poor (19%) condition. Tree species selection was typical of those found in Bay Area landscapes. The landscape was mostly mature and had been well-maintained. Descriptions of each tree are found in the Tree Assessment and approximate locations are plotted on the Tree Assessment Plan (see Exhibits).

HortScience│Bartlett Consulting ● Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company The most frequently occurring species was olive, with 131 trees (30% of the population). Trees were mature. All had multiple trunks and almost all had been previously topped. Most trees were in good condition (86 trees). The olive’s had full or slightly thin crowns and minor trunk wounds, which is typical for mature olives (Photo 1). Trees in fair condition (37 trees) had thinning crowns and more significant defects, such as decay in one stem or trunk sunburn. Trees in poor condition (eight trees) had very thin crowns and dieback (Photo 2).
T
he second most commons species was bronze loquat with 82 trees (18%). Trees were mostly in fair condition (66 trees) with multiple or codominant trunks and fair form and structure. Four trees in poor condition had a small crown, poor structure, and/or dieback. Trees in good condition (1 2 trees) had dense crowns and good form. Most trees were growing against buildings and had been previously topped or pruned for building clearance.
S
ixty (60) coast redwoods were evaluated (13%).
Redwoods were concentrated along the Moffett Blvd.
frontage, on the slope between the site and Middlefield Rd., and in the center of the site around the pools. Trees were young to mature, with trunk diameters ranging
from seven to 54 inches, and an average diameter of 29
inches. Most redwoods (43 trees) were in good
condition with good form and structure and dense or
slightly thin crowns (Photo 3). Trees in fair condition (15 trees) had fair form, thinning crowns, and several had
trunk leans. Two trees in poor condition had
thin crowns and
suppressed form.
Many trees grew
in groups and, as
a result, had
asymmetrical
crowns.

Trees were crowded and had not been maintained, and most had poor form and structure. Nine trees were in fair condition and 24 trees were in poor condition.
T
wenty-eight (28) red ironbarks (6%) were evaluated at the site. Most trees had been previously topped at 30-35 feet. Trees in fair condition (19 trees) had regrown reasonable crowns, but generally had poor form and structure. Trees in poor condition (8 trees) had small, thin crowns.
None of the trees were in good condition.
S
outhern magnolias made up 6% of the population
with 27 trees. Magnolias were in good (19 trees) and
fair condition (eight trees). Trees in good condition
had good form and structure and slightly thin crowns
(Photo 4). Trees in fair condition had a thinning crown and/or poor color.
T
wenty-one (21) Victorian box were evaluated. Trees
were in either in fair (9 trees) or poor (12 trees)
condition. Those in fair condition were suppressed or
crowded. Trees in poor condition had more significant
defects such as poor form and structure, decay, and
dieback.
T
he remaining species were represented by 9 or
fewer trees and included the following:
• Nine glossy privets in fair (3 trees) and poor (6

HortScience│Bartlett Consulting ● Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Suitability for Preservation
Before evaluating the impacts that will occur during development, it is important to consider the quality of the tree resource itself, and the potential for individual trees that are preserved on development sites must be carefully selected to make sure that they may survive development impacts, adapt to a new environment, and perform well in the landscape.
E
ach tree was rated for suitability for preservation based upon its age, health, structural condition, and ability to safely coexist within a development environment (see Tree Assessment in Exhibits, and Table 2). We consider trees with high suitability for preservation to be the best candidates for preservation. We do not recommend retention of trees with low suitability for preservation in areas where people or property will be present. Retention of trees with moderate suitability for preservation depends upon the intensity of proposed site changes. Off-site and street trees were not rated.
Tree health
Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to tolerate impacts such as root injury, demolition of
existing structures, changes in soil grade and moisture, and soil compaction than are non
-vigorous trees.
Structural integrity
Trees with significant amounts of wood decay and other structural defects that cannot be corrected are likely to fail. Such trees should not be preserved in areas where damage t o
peop
le or property is likely. For example, red ironbarks and silver dollar gums that had been
topped have a high likelihood of branch failure.
Species response
There is a wide variation in the response of individual species to construction impacts and changes in the environment. For instance, coast redwood and coast live oak are relatively tolerant of construction impacts compared to Monterey pine, which is ver y
s
ensitive to root damage.
Tree age and longevity
Old trees, while having significant emotional and aesthetic appeal, have limit ed
phy
siological capacity to adjust to an altered environment. Young trees are better able t o gener
ate new tissue and respond to change.
Species invasiveness
Species that spread across a site and displace desired vegetation are not alwa ys
appr
opriate for retention. This is particularly true when indigenous species are displaced.
The California Invasive Plant Inventory Database (http://www.cal-ipc.org/paf/) lists species identified as being invasive. Mountain View is part of the Central West Floristic Province. Brazilian pepper, and olive are listed as “limited.” Preliminary Arborist Report - 555 West Middlefield Road.

555 West Middlefield Rd., Mountain View, CA
H
igh Trees in this category had good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site. Ninety-three (93) trees had high suitability for preservation: 51 olives, 24 coast redwood, 15 southern magnolias, bronze loquat #146, English holly #352, and windmill palm #7.
Mo
derate Trees in this category have fair health and/or structural defects that may be abated with treatment. Trees in this category require more intense management and monitoring and may have shorter lifespans than those in the “high” category. One hundred eighty-four trees (184) had moderate suitability for preservation: 63 olives, 61 bronze loquats, 30 coast redwoods, 11 southern magnolias; Victorian boxes #30, 97, 102, and 106; glossy privets #279, 281, and 283; Brazilian peppers #269 and 278; coast live oaks #276 and 277; English holly #353 and 354; holly oaks #363 and 413, African fern- pine #305, Aleppo pine #392, Carolina cherry laurel #247, and red ironbark #110.
L
ow Trees in this category are in poor health or have significant defects in structure that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape settings or be unsuited for use areas. One hundred forty-three (143) trees had low suitability for preservation: 31 Brazilian peppers, 27 red ironbarks, 20 bronze loquats, 17 Victorian boxes, 15 olives, 8 Carolina cherry laurels, 6 Aleppo pines, 6 glossy privets; coast redwoods #129, 131, 189, 202, and 360; peppers #362, 365, 372, and 390; African fern-pine #357, coast live oak #280, silver dollar gum #342, and Southern magnolia #433.
Preliminary Evaluation of Impacts and Recommendations
Appropriate tree retention develops a practical match between the location and intensity of construction activities and the quality and health of trees. The Tree Assessment was the reference point for tree condition and quality. I referred to the PGA Designs Existing Tree Removal & Preservation Plan prepared by dated March 10, 2025 to estimate tree impacts.
Surveyed trunk locations for most trees were included on the plan.
C
onstruction level plans have yet to be prepared. A final review of site plans should include the following information:
Demolition, grading/drainage, utility, and landscape/irrigation information with survey ed t
ree locations on all plans;
Any modifications to plans that will affect trees intended for preservation.
T
he updated project design is reconfigured to build the parking garages above-grade in locations that are hidden from public view. The general development areas remain the same, although the building footprints have changed in ways that have modified some of the tree disposition plans.
Key stands of heritage redwood trees along Moffett Boulevard and internal to the site are still planned to be preserved in the new project design.

HortScience│Bartlett Consulting ● Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company The development proposes construction of 323 new apartments over three lots across the site with above ground and surface parking. A garage driveway will connect off the end of Cypress Point Drive and travel along the east perimeter of the site, and a park will be dedicated to the City. Portions of the site will not be developed.
Impac
ts from construction byway of grading, excavation, and other activities will leave little opportunity for preservation trees. Construction of Building C and other amenities will require grading of the berm adjacent to the sound wall which will impact many trees. The berm was populated with invasive trees in fair and poor condition.
B
ased on my evaluation, 103 trees will be removed (49 heritage and 59 had low suitability for preservation). Thirty-nine (39) trees olives will be transplanted within the project area, see Table 3 Tree Disposition Totals.

HortScience│Bartlett Consulting ● Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company Preliminary Tree Preservation Guidelines
The goal of tree preservation is not merely tree survival during development but maintenance of tree health and beauty for many years. Trees retained on sites that are either subject to extensive injury during construction or are inadequately maintained become a liability rather than an asset.
The response of individual trees will depend on the amount of excavation and grading, the care with which demolition is undertaken, and the construction methods. Coordinating any construction activity inside the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE can minimize these impacts.
The following recommendations will help reduce impacts to trees from development and maintain and improve their health and vitality through the clearing, grading and construction phases.
Design recommendations
1. All plans affecting trees shall be reviewed by the Consulting Arborist with regard to tr ee
i
mpacts. These include, but are not limited to, demolition plans, grading and utility plans, landscape and irrigation plans.
2. A TREE PROTECTION ZONE must be established for trees to be preserved, in which no di
sturbance is permitted. TREE PROTECTION ZONES shall be identified for trees to be pr
eserved by the Consulting Arborist once project plans have been finalized. No grading, excavation, construction or storage of materials shall occur within that zone.
3. Underground services including utilities, sub-drains, water or sewer shall be routed ar
ound the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. Where encroachment cannot be avoided, special construction techniques such as hand digging or tunneling under roots shall be employ ed w
here necessary to minimize root injury.
4. As trees withdraw water from the soil, expansive soils may shrink within the root area.
Therefore, foundations, footings and pavements on expansive soils near trees should be designed to withstand differential displacement.
5. No underground services including utilities, sub-drains, water or sewer shall be placed in the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE.
6. Tree Preservation Notes, prepared by the Consulting Arborist, should be included on all plans.
7. Do not lime within 25’ of any tree. Lime is toxic to tree roots.
8. Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around trees and
l
abeled for that use.
9. Irrigation systems must be designed so that no trenching will occur not within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.
Pr
e-construction treatments and recommendations
1. The construction superintendent shall meet with the Consulting Arborist before beginnin g w
ork to discuss work procedures and tree protection.
2. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the TREE PROTECTION ZONE prior to demo
lition, grubbing or grading. Fences shall be 6 ft. chain link or equivalent as approv ed by
Consulting Arborist. Fences are to remain until all grading and construction is completed.
3. Pruning trees to provide construction and access clearance may be required. Off -site trees will likely require some amount of pruning to provide a construction clearance.
4. Prune trees to be preserved to clean the crown and to provide clearance. All pruni ng s
hall be done by a State of California Licensed Tree Contractor (C61/D49). All pruning s
hall be done by Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker in accordance with the Best Management Practices for Pruning (International Society of Arboriculture, 2002) and Preliminary Arborist Report - 555 West Middlefield Road.
AvalonBay Communities
Updated June 2025
HortScience│Bartlett Consulting ● Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company adhere to the most recent editions of the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (Z133.1) and Pruning (A300).
5. All tree work shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as well as California Fish and Wildlife code 3503-3513 to not disturb nesting birds. To the extent feasible tre e
pr
uning and removal should be scheduled outside of the breeding season. Breeding bird s
urveys should be conducted prior to tree work. Qualified biologists should be involved in es
tablishing work buffers for active nests.
R
ecommendations for tree protection during construction
1. Prior to beginning work, the contractors working in the vicinity of trees to be preserv ed ar
e required to meet with the Consulting Arborist at the site to review all work procedures, access routes, storage areas and tree protection measures.
2. No grading, construction, demolition or other work shall occur within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. Any modifications must be approved and monitored by the Consulting A
rborist.
3. Fences have been erected to protect trees to be preserved. Fences define a specific TREE PROTECTION ZONE for each tree or group of trees. Fences are to remain until all site w
ork has been completed. Fences may not be relocated or removed without permission of the Consultant.
4. Construction trailers, traffic and storage areas must remain outside fenced areas at all times.
5. Prior to grading, pad preparation, excavation for foundations/footings/walls, trenching, trees may require root pruning outside the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE. Any root pruning
r
equired for construction purposes shall receive the prior approval of, and be supervis ed by
, the Consulting Arborist.
6. If injury should occur to any tree during construction, it should be evaluated as soon as possible by the Consulting Arborist so that appropriate treatments can be applied.
7. No excess soil, chemicals, debris, equipment or other materials shall be dumped or stored within the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE.
8. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance during construction must be perfor med by
a Certified Arborist and not by construction personnel.
M
aintenance of impacted trees
Preserved trees will experience a physical environment different from that pre-development. As a result, tree health and structural stability should be monitored. Occasional pruning, fertilization, mulch, pest management, replanting and irrigation may be required. In addition, provisions for monitoring both tree health and structural stability following construction must be made a priority.
As trees age, the likelihood of failure of branches or entire trees increases; therefore, annual inspection for hazard potential is recommended.
