Agenda Item No. IV -6
October 3, 1995
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Harbor View Hills Community Association Progress Report
The Harbor View Hills Community Association and staff have been working
collectively on a reforestation project relative to private and public property
damages relative to .parkway street trees. The last correspondence to the
Association dated August 18, 1995,which is attached, identified twenty-three
street trees that have been documented as causing significant ihardscape damage
in the Association areas.
The City will proceed with the removal of the trees to coincide with an upcoming
hard'scape replacement contract in the Harbor View Hills area and finalize the
notification of the effected property owners. The trees will be removed based on
the criteria listed in City Council Policy G- 1(copy attached). Those property
owners not wanting the tree removed have the option of appeal to the
Commission.
The trees that will be removed as part of this process will be replaced with the
City designated tree. The cost of removing the trees and fifteen gallon
replacement plantings will be funded by the Capital Improvement Reforestation
account. Tree removal requests by the Association beyond the twenty -three
identified will not be funded by the City and must meet the G -1 policy criteria.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

Dear Mr. Ginter,
August 18,1995
The Park, Beaches and Recreation Commission at the August 1, 1995 meeting
approved the request for the street tree redesignation in your association. I am
requesting that as part of the reforestation phasing that will be occurring, that
you survey and document those property owners who reside adjacent to any
City parkway street tree to be removed, per the attached list.
Please provide this information to me at your earliest convenience so that we
9' may finalize the reforestation program. Additionally, I must'remind you that
City trees will be removed only due -to existing private- and /or public property
damage and not due solely to view obstructions nor ,potential wind damage.
Please contact me at (714) 644 -3055 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
David E. Niederhaus, Director

RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF PARK AND 'PARKWAY TREES
It shall be the responsibility of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to
develop and maintain a rather restricted list of trees in the community
(Attachment 1) which should be retained to the exclusich of all normal
problems. This list will contain landmark trees, special trees of beauty, stately
trees which contribute to an entire neighborhood, dedicated trees, etc. These
trees will be identified, mapped and recorded. Subsequent to this they will be
given special treatment to retain them, as deemed appropriate by the General
Services .Director. If said special treatment is not determined .to be adequate -to
retain the identified tree, a full report shall be made to the Commission before
any other action is taken.
Whenever it is necessary to prune tree roots in parkways or other public areas in
order to correct or prevent damage being caused by the subject tree, every
reasonable effort shall be made to -save the tree. It will still .be necessary to meet
the City's standards relative to grades and alignments, with the exception of
those special trees discussed in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement
If it is necessary for a tree other than that included in Paragraph 1 to be given
special treatment, each treeshall be considered individually on,its.own merits to
determine whether the tree should be retained or replaced. all parkway trees
included in this category must be subjected to and meet the, following criteria:
1. Have a tree hazard evaluation performed by tie City arborist
(Attachment 2).
2. Have sufficient life expectancy to merit special, consideration.
3. Have contiguous property owners be desirous of retaining the tree
if special treatment of other than the sidewalk repair is necessary to
retain it.
4. Be of a desirable species on the official street tree list by the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission.
5. Not have had a consistent history of damaging public or privately
owned property such as sewers, water mains, sidewalks, curbs,
walls, fences, foundations, etc., as indicated per City records, or by
competant authority as a structural engineer, general contractor, or
• qualified City official.
