TO: Bill Huston - City Manager
FROM: Hugh West - Maintenance Superintendent
SUBJECT: Citizen Request for Tree Removal
Susan L. Wilson of 1902 Pennington Avenue has requested the City to
remove her parkway tree and replace it with a more suitable tree for
the narrow parkway.
BACKGROUND:
The ~arkway at this address is very anrrow and the developer planted a
(Styracifolua) Sweet Gum or Liquid Amber tree. This tree is on the
approved list for City parkway trees but only in the commercial areas.
The tree requires a moderate amount of water and deep watering for it
to develope a good root system.well under the ground, however, if
it does not get the deep watering it will put its roots where ever
water is available.
Apparently the previous owner watered extremely shallow and the tree
has filled the entire parkway with roots above the ground making the
area unsightly and also a tripping hazard.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recomment that the tree be removed as Mrs. Wilson has requested
and replaced with a more suitable tree for such a confined area
and one that Mrs. Wilson will be happy with.

Dear Homeowner:
Susan Wilson of 1902 Pennington Avenue, Tustin has requested the
City to remove her parkway tree. This parkway is verynnarrow
and in the past years the tree has received very shallow watering
from the lawn which has caused the tree to fill the parkway with
roots approximately 4 inches avove the grade of the parkway.
It takes years to grow a tree and the removal of one effects the
environment in which you live. We request your con~nents in writing
if you have any objections to the tree removal. If within lO
days we have received no objections we will assume you have none.
If there are any questions you may have regarding this ren~val
please call, 544-8890 ext. 240.
