PB &R Commission Agenda
Item No. /a,_
October 5, 2004
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: General Services Director
SUBJECT: Reforestation Request
Recommendation
To consider a reforestation request fo: 620 Avocado Avenue.
History
Ms. Mary Nahas, property owner of 620 Avocado Avenue, has submitted the attached
Tree Reforestation Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the
reforestation of three City Eucalyptus trees adjacent to her residence.
• Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photographs related
to the request.
Discussion
The applicant has requested the tree removals under the Reforestation guidelines of
the G -1 Policy. The applicant submitted the attached tree removal application on
August 20, 2004.
The applicant has provided a list of signatures of 60% of the adjoining property
owners, including the applicant, as required by the G -1 Policy criteria. Please see the
attached Petition Response List and map which indicates property owner's responses.
Additionally, Ms. Nahas has agreed to incur the total cost of the tree removals and
replacements which is $1,716. It should be noted that the current appraised value of
the three trees is $13,914.
The Eucalyptus trees have been infested with the Lerp insect which has caused
significant leaf and residue drop over the last few years. The City has injected the
trees with pesticides to control the infestation at this location and in the neighborhood.
• There is not any significant public damage, but the applicant states private damage to
her property primarily due to residue emanating from the lerp infestation.
Additionally, the trees are not considered a hazard by staff.
