RECOMMENDATION: I recommend the request be denied. BACKGROUND: Mrs. Betty Hahn of 14452 Heights Drive has requested the City to remove her parkway tree. She states the tree is a nuisance, is ruining her parkway plants, and that it hides her Japanese Pine Tree from view. DISCUSSION: Mrs. Hahn's parkway tree is a very nice Indian Laurel. It is located near her neighbors property line. The City policy that'indicates 'the homeowner may have the City remove a parkway tree on the grounds that it doesn't fit in with the landscaping, the tree is messy, or the property owner does not like it, provided the homeowner will pay for the replacement cost, does not apply in this case. Mrs. Hahn does not want a tree of any kind. Notification of Mrs. Hahn's request were handed out to the neighbors, no objections were received.
