REMOVAL OF TREES ADJACENT TUSTIN MEADOWS PERIMETER WALL
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of February 6, 1984, authorize
staff to notify the affected property owner's and the Tustin Meadows Homeowner's
Association of the tree removals and to authorize the removal of seven Jacaranda
trees along Walnut Avenue between Red Hill Avenue and the railroad tracks.
BACKGROUND:
In September, 1983 the City Council requested staff to investigate the street
trees along Walnut Avenue with respect to their relationship to the perimeter wall
of the Tustin Meadows Development.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has completed this investigation and found there are seven Jacaranda tre~s
that are leaning against thepertmeter wall, These seven trees are located along
Walnut Avenue and are located to the rear of the following properties:
14501Westfall Road
14501Emerywood Road
1651 Amherst Road
1681 Amherst Road
1731 Amherst Road
1831 Hampshire Road
2091 Nantucket Place
These seven trees impose an immediate problem which could result in damage to the
perimeter wall. Eventually, other trees will most likely be added to this list,
but at the present time these seven only need to be addressed.
The removal of only a few trees at a time will not result in as great of visual
impact as the loss of all the trees simultaneously. The majority of the backyards
along Walnut Avenue have sufficient trees and shrubs to shield the view to Walnut
Avenue.
Neither any of the affected homeowner's or the Tustin Meadows Homeowner's
Associatibn has been contacted regarding these potential tree removals. In. the
event the City Council elects to proceed with the removal of these seven trees, it
is suggested that staff be directed to proceed with the notification of same.prior
to any removals.
