Agenda Item No. 6
September 3,1996
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Appeal of Tree Removal at 1207 Pembroke Lane
Recommendation
To deny the appeal to retain one Ficus nitida (Indian Laurel Fig) tree at 1207
Pembroke Lane.
Discussion
Staff received the attached correspondence from Mr. A. W. Brown requesting
that one Ficus tree not be removed adjacent to his residence.
The Urban Forester completed a Tree Inspection Report (copy attached). and the
Park and Tree Maintenance Superintendent concurred with the report that
recommends that the tree should be removed due to major hardscape damages.
. The sewer lateral is directly under the tree and presents a potential hazard. The
tree cannot be retained due to the significant amount of root mass that must be
removed in the hardscape replacement process.
Additionally, this location was identified by the General Services Department's
Concrete Crew Supervisor as a location that presents a liability to the City
relative to hardscape damage and has been included in the upcoming hardscape
replacement program.
There have been two large claim disbursements by the City in the same vicinity
to property owners in the amounts of $2390 on Pembroke Lane and $6370 on
Anita Lane as a direct result of the Ficus parkway trees damaging private
property.
Mr. Brown has received a copy of this report and a notice of the September 3
Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus
