Home My WebLink About6C - Reforestation Request - on Quiet Cove adjacent to 3400, 3404, 3407, 3418 & 3423 - HVHSHOA0 PB &R Commission Agenda Item No. Abc August 7, 2012 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Municipal Operations Director SUBJECT: Reforestation Request Recommendation Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission consider for approval the reforestation request of the Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association (HVHS HOA) to remove and replace five City Brisbane Box trees on Quiet Cove. Discussion City Council Policy G -1, Reforestation of City Trees requires that individual property owners living within a legally established community association area with mandatory association membership must petition for reforestation through their respective association. • Staff has received a request from the HVHS HOA Board of Directors to remove five City Brisbane Box trees on Quiet Cove adjacent to 3400, 3404, 3407, 3418, and 3423. In addition to removing five trees, the HVHS HOA Board of Directors is proposing to incur the cost for the planting of five 36- inch box Australian Willow trees (Geijera parviflora) within the parkway. The PB &R Commission approved the street tree re- designation for Quiet Cove from the Hong Kong Orchid to the Australian Willow at the May 1, 2012 meeting. The HVHS HOA has complied with the requirements of Policy G -1, and has agreed to assume the full cost of the removal and replacement of the City tree, approximately $3,564 ($2,875 for the required five 36 -inch box replacement trees, and $689 for five removals). Staff agrees with the HVHS HOA that the current tree, Brisbane Box, has been topped and over - pruned for many years to maintain the view plane. This type of tree grows rapidly in vertical shape, requiring annual pruning which is unsightly. The Australian Willow is broad - shaped and has a slower growth rate which is more manageable, and will not require annual pruning to maintain the view plane. Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Inventory Detail, Reforestation Check List, and photographs related to the request. The HVHS HO ,)Oas received a copy of this report and a notice of the Commission meeting. � • U Mark Attachments: (A) HVHS HOA Board of Directors Minutes (B) Tree Removal Request Application (C) Tree Inspection Report (D) Reforestation Checklist (E) Photos (F) Area Map 0 L • HARBOR VIEW HILLS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION J u he 7, 2012 City of Newport Beach General Services Department PO Box 1768 Newport Reach, CA 92658 Attn: Dan Sereno, Parkand Tree Superintendent At its regularly scheduled meeting June 6, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Harbor View Hl , lls South Homeowners Association voted to approve the enclosed reforestation application, to replace the Brisbane Box trees with Australian Willow trees on Qwlet Cove, the cost of removal and replacement to be paid by homeowners on thatstreet.
