October 3, 1995
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association Progress Report
The Harbor View Hills South Homeowners 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 thirty -five
street trees that have been documented as causing significant hardscape damage
in the Association areas.
The City will proceed with the removal of the trees to coincide with an upcoming
hardscape replacement contract in the Harbor View Hills South 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 thirty -five
identified will not be funded by the City and must meet the G -1 policy criteria.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

Dear Ms. Houffels,
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
• 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
General Services Department

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

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

those special trees discussed in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement.
