Home My WebLink About06 - Reforestation 414 Narcissus Ave(1) OairMtMM PB &R Commission Agenda Item No. September 4, 2007 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission General Services Director Reforestation Request Recommendation Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission consider the reforestation request for approval for Stephen Mattoon, property owner at 414 Narcissus Avenue. Discussion • City Council Policy G -1, Reforestation of City Trees requires that individual property owners not residing within a legally established community association area may submit individual requests for single or multiple tree reforestations. The applicant must submit a petition signed by a minimum of 60% of property owners within the area defined for reforestation (see attached Council Policy G -1, pages 6 -9, Reforestation of City Trees). The defined area (see attached color map) included a total of 20 properties on Narcissus Avenue. This required the applicant to obtain 12 signatures in favor of the reforestation request of which 12 were obtained. Per City Council Policy G -1, the City has received a petition from Mr. Stephen Mattoon with the required property owner signatures approving the removal of one City Red Flowering Gum parkway tree adjacent to 414 Narcissus Avenue. Council Policy G -1, page 9, section G, indicates that "petitions that are dated more than 90 days in arrears from date stamped by staff before distribution will not be forwarded to the PB & R Commission for consideration." Although, this petition was received by staff five days late (95 days), due to several petitions which required to be mailed out to property owners that do not reside at the site address (see attached Email dated July 24, 2007, from Steve Mattoon). Additionally, the property owner has complied with all additional requirements of Policy G -1, and has agreed to assume the full cost for removal and replacement of the five City trees, approximately $595.00 ($195.00 for one 24" box replacement tree and $400.00 for tree removal). Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Inventory Detail, and photographs related to the request. Mr. Stephen Mattoon and Council Member Nancy Gardner have received a copy of this • report and a notice of the Commission meeting. Adjacent property owners were also notified of the Commission meeting.

A legally established community association is responsible for notification of all association members pursuant to their established procedure. The General Services Director, or a designee, shall prepare a staff report for a regularly scheduled PB &R Commission meeting of all trees recommended for removal, except for those trees categorized in Paragraph C. (dead, diseased, or dying trees) or Paragraph E (claims and safety issues) in the preceding section on All Other City Trees. Only an applicant, an adjoining property owner, or a legally established community association, the City Manager, a PB &R Commissioner, or a Councilmember may appeal the decision of the General Services Director not to remove a tree to the Commission. The Commission, in considering any appeal, shall determine whether the removal meets the criteria outlined in this Policy, as well as any unique factors which may be pertinent to the removal or retention of tree(s). The decision of the Commission will be considered final unless called up by at least one Councilmember or the City Manager. The General Services Department will delay any tree removal(s) for at least 14 calendar • days following the date of the Commission decision in order to allow time for a Councilmember or the City Manager to call the item. The City will replace all trees removed in accordance with the All Other City Trees removal criteria on a one for one basis. Replacement trees will be a minimum of a 36" boxed size. If 36" boxed trees are not available, or funding, or space constraints prevent planting of a large tree, then a minimum of a 24" boxed tree will be planted. The full costs of removal and replacement of Special or All Other Tree(s) will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant voluntarily pays for a new tree(s). REFORESTATION OF CITY TREES The concept of systematically replacing Problem or All Other Trees which are creating hardscape and /or view problems and cannot be properly trimmed, pruned or modified to alleviate the problem(s) they create, or those which have reached their full life, and are declining in health, or are simply the wrong species of trees for the planted location is referred to as reforestation. The Urban Forester shall make a finding for the latter category of inappropriate tree species for a specific location. His determination may be appealed to the General Services Director whose decision will be final. • 6 • G -1 It is recognized and acknowledged that City trees were planted many years ago and in some cases were planted with specific species that when fully mature cause damage to curb, gutter, sidewalk or underground utilities. Within the geographical boundaries of certain view neighborhoods, City street trees may encroach into blue water views from public and private property depending on the length of time since the trees were last trimmed, or the age and height of the trees. In other cases, the wrong species of tree was planted originally and simply does not conform to the current treescape or represents a safety hazard. Arborists continue to develop lists of tree species which will grow in restricted parkway areas without causing significant damage to curb, gutter, sidewalk, utilities or loss of views. The City Street Tree Designation List, which specifies a species for each City street reflects an effort by the City to prescribe appropriate tree species that will not cause future problems. As a City which understands the importance of trees and the beauty they bring to a community, the City desires to continually improve the urban forest through reforestation. In areas where City trees have been removed through City initiation, the City will endeavor to replace the trees with the appropriate designated City tree. • Individual private property owners, as well as legally established community associations, may apply for single or multiple tree reforestations in their respective area by submitting a request to the General Services Director for consideration by the Commission that meets the following requirements: • A. The proposed area must have clearly defined contiguous geographical boundaries that include the tree(s) proposed for removal and replacement, street address(es), block number(s), or other geographical information. This section applies to individual and group requests. B. Residential communities, neighborhoods, or business organizations who apply for reforestation must submit a petition signed by a minimum of 60% of the property owners within the area defined for reforestation. The petition content must be approved and dated by City staff prior to distribution by the petitioner. The staff- approved petition must be distributed by the petitioner to a maximum of 30 private property owners (up to 15 contiguous private property owners on both sides of the street up to 500' in either direction from the location of the proposed reforestation). Signatures by non - property owners are not acceptable for petition purposes. All petition signatures shall be verified by City staff for I 0 G -1 property owner status of the person(s) signing the petition. As an alternative to the above requirements, areas represented by a legally established community association, may submit a resolution of the Board of Directors formally requesting a reforestation with a statement that all members of the community association having their residential views affected, have been officially notified and given an appropriate opportunity to respond before the Board voted on the request. Individual private property owners living within a legally established community association area with mandatory association membership must petition for reforestation through their respective association. C. Individual private property owners not residing within a legally established community association area may submit individual requests for single or multiple tree reforestations. The applicant must submit a petition signed by a minimum of 60°% of a maximum of 30 private property owners (up to 15 contiguous private properties on both sides of the street up to 500' in either direction from the location of the proposed reforestation site) as well as the endorsement of the appropriate homeowners' association, if applicable. The petition content must be approved and dated by staff prior to distribution. All petition signatures shall be verified by City staff for private property owner status of the person(s) signing the petition. D. A written agreement must be submitted to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission by the petitioning sponsor (individual private property owner(s) or group) to pay 100% of the costs of the removal and replacement of the public tree(s) in advance of any removal activity. The actual removal and replanting will be coordinated by the General Services Department. The total costs shall include only the contractor's removal and replacement costs and be paid in advance of any removal actions. E. The replacement tree(s) for reforestation shall be the Designated Street Tree(s) as prescribed by City Council Policy G -6, or the organization must request and obtain approval from the Commission of the designation of a different tree species prior to submitting any reforestation request for a tree species other than the designated street tree. This section applies to individual or group requests. F. There shall be a minimum of a one - for -one replacement of all trees removed in reforestation projects. Replacement trees shall be a minimum size of 24" boxed trees, unless the parkway space will not accommodate a 24" boxed tree or a tree cannot be planted due to planting restrictions contained in Council Policy G -6. If 0 8 u '.a'>Sil there is not room for the replacement tree(s) at a specific site as prescribed by City Council Policy G -6, then the replacement tree(s) shall be planted in a public area in the same neighborhood at the option of the petitioner. This section applies to individual or group requests. G. Reforestation requests must be completed and submitted in a timely manner by the petitioner. Petitions that are dated more than 90 days in arrears from date stamped by staff before distribution will not be forwarded to the PB &R Commission for consideration. The decision of the Commission on reforestation requests will be considered final unless called up by at least one Councilmember or the City Manager. TREE MAINTENANCE The City shall require the proper care and watering of replacement trees by the reforestation petitioner to ensure their proper growth and development as outlined in City Council Policy G -6. Furthermore, no person shall tamper with City trees in violation of Section 13.08.040 of the Municipal Code. Further, the City will endeavor to • fund the care of the Urban Forest to the highest level possible through the efficient use of regular tree trimming, root pruning, root barrier and pesticide programs. ENCROACHMENT AND DEMOLITION PERMITS All encroachment permits (permits for private property development which are proposed to encroach upon the City right of way) or demolition permits that involve the removal or replacement of City tree(s) must be specifically noticed by the property owner to City staff prior to the building and /or demolition permit process whenever possible. The proposed construction plans must indicate preservation of existing City trees wherever possible (exempt: dead, dying, or in an advanced state of decline). If the proposed development, as deemed by the General Services Director, requires the removal of City trees, the property owner must submit a tree removal request to the General Services Director, shall pay all related tree removal and replacement costs (one for -one replacement) and meet all provisions of Council Policies L -2 and L -6 and City Ordnances 13.08 and 13.09. Approval or disapproval of all tree removal/ replacement requests associated with encroachment and demolition permits will be the responsibility of the General Services Director or a designee. 0 9 11 • Page 1 of 1 Conway, John From: Steve Mattoon [smattoon @jnrcorp.coml Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 9:49 PM To: Conway, John Subject: Tree Removal or Reforestation Application @ 414 Narcissus Ave. CAM John, I hope you are doing well. John, I have obtained the (over) 60% of signatures required per the terms of the G -! Policy, Section C, page 8 of the City's G -1 policy. Not a single owner who has been reached has objected to the removal or reforestation of this tree. The only challenge has been obtaining responses from owners who are not residents - which required my mailing the form for signature and finally getting them returned to me via mail. I am preparing the document and will be sending the package to you for your review - along with a check for the amount for both removal and reforestation. Thank you for your assistance and attention to this continuing challenge. My neighbors and I look forward to finally getting this diseased tree removed and replaced with a healthy specimen.

Botanical Name: Eucalyptus ficifolia — Red Flowering Gum, tree site # Front 1 Designated Street Tree: Eucalyptus torquata — Coral Gum • Estimated Tree Value: $9,830.00 total value Damage: The General Services Department, Field Maintenance Division has the following recorded date of sidewalk repair performed at this location: ■ March 1, 2004 —108 SF of sidewalk Parkway: Concrete Brick Turf Other Comments: A field inspection confirmed a moderately healthy City tree at 414 Narcissus Avenue with apparent curb 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. The property owner has expressed concern of possible tree decay and constant leaf debris, and requested the City remove the tree based on these concerns. However, staff measured the tree at visible locations (tree trunk), with the resistograph which indicated 23% decay within the tree trunk (see attached print out). Typically, a tree with 40% or more of trunk decay is considered a potential hazard, this tree did not meet that criteria. Additionally, staff has scheduled annual pruning of the tree to mitigate debris upon Mr. Mattoon's property (see Tree Inventory • Detail, Work History). However, the property owner is adamant that the City tree be removed, and is requesting that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission review his concerns regarding the City tree.
