RevieeC 0.5rMOC 0 TREE INSPECTION REPORT Name: Tom and Christine Marr Address: 2238 Port Carlisle Place Phone Number: (949) 640 -4450 Request: The property owner is requesting of the General Services Department staff, the removal of one City Rusty Leaf Fig tree based on the criteria of City Council Policy G -1, Reforestation of City Trees. Botanical Name: Ficus rubi ig nosa — Rusty Leaf Fig Designated Street Tree: Magnolia erandiflora 'St. Mary's'— St. Mary's Magnolia Estimated Tree Value: $1,380.00 • Damage: The General Services Department, Field Maintenance Division has the following scheduled date of sidewalk repair to be performed at this location: ■ September 23, 2006 — 80 SF of sidewalk Parkway: Concrete Brick Turf Other Comments: A field inspection confirmed a healthy City tree with no apparent property damage. However, current planting standards and requirements would prohibit this tree species at this site, since these types of trees require a larger parkway space. Over the years there has been several mitigating steps, and remedies that staff has conducted to retain the tree and protect the property. These included root pruning, and barrier installation that was completed August 2004, and an increase in pruning (2003, 2001, and 1999) to reduce the fruit drop upon public and private property. The various remedies have not been successful. Therefore, tree removal and replacement should be considered. • Inspected by: Date: August 20, 2007 John Conway, Urban Fo ester • Recommendation: Forward the reforestation request to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation onunissiop for review and approval.
