They are very dirty, blooming with yellowish flowers which turns to a red berry that is very messy and sticky. Virginia Olivieri stated that she has allergies and the pollen from the trees causes her considerable distress. Notifications were handed out to other residents on ~he street notifing them of their neighbors request for the removal. No objections were received. January 5, 1982 Request for Tree Removal Continued RECOMMENDATION It would be of little help to Virginia Olivieri's allergies just to remove her tree and leave the neighbors, therefore I recommend that all the trees requested for removal be removed and replaced with a more suitable tree, one which pleases the home owners and is approved by the City.

Hugh West Maintenance Superintendent 300 Centennial Tustin, California 92680 (714) 544-8890 rginia B olivieri 692 Westfall Rd. Tustin, Calif. 92680 ~ovember 9,1981 City Of~Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, Califor~±a 92680 Mr. Hugh West: The trees in the ~ront of our homes are very detrimental to our environment, health, and property. The yellow substance shedding from these trees have ruined the paint on some cars; the roots are grov~ng under the sidewalk into our front yards and if left alone would grow rapidly and cause more damage. The yellow substance sticks so tenaciously to the cars, sidewalks and streets that it is ~mpossib~e to get it off even v~th the best of car washing and hosing equipment. Worst of all, ~,~thin one hour after wor!~ng so hard everything is covered ~ll over again. Most of all I have many aller~les and these trees are adding to them. Children pick up the yellow substance and throw it in the air and then lick their fingers. I hope these children are not allergic. I have contacted the following families and all are in agreement that the city be requested to remove these~trees as soon as possible.
