TO: DAN BLANKENSHIP, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: HUGH WEST, MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: PROPERTY OWNERS REQUEST TO REMOVE CITY TREE
Mr. Zapata of 14631 Hyannis Port has requested the City remove a Brazilian
Pepper from the parkway in front of his residence.
The Brazilian Pepper tree is not an approved parkway tree. They grow
very grotesque with a tremendous spreading top and produce a berry cluster
that makes them very messy. Their root growth habit though not as bad
as an Ash tree, is very similar.
Letters were sent to the neighborhood advising them of Mr. Zapatas request,
and no dbjectibns were received.
Recommendations
Remove the tree at..City cost as requested and replace with a more suitable
City approved tree.

Attention: H. West
Dear Sir:
September 25,1980
I am writing in regard to the tree on 14.631
Hyannis Port Road, Tustin.
The tree has been a tremendous problem. The
roots have grown above the sidewalk. It has
been a hazard and caused accidents. My mother
feel while getting out of the car. Our guests
have also had the same experience. Children
have slid on their bikes from the droppings
of the tree. The sprin#ler system does not
work because of the roots of the tree.
I would like very much to have the tree
removed. This will also eliminate any
possibilities of lawsuits against the city.
I would appreciate it if you could take care
of this problem.
