Home6wner Request for Tree Removal
Recommendation:
I recommend the request be denied.
Background:
!Ir. & Mrs. Hart of 1711 Amherst Road, Tustin Meadows have an Indian
Laurel tree in their parkway they have requested be removed. They
state that the tree drops leaves, is getting too large and does
not enhance the looks of their property.
Discussion:
~herst Road was one of those in Tustin Meadows at the time of development
that the entire street was planted with trees that were not approved
by the City for residential areas, however, most all have through the
years been changed to approved trees.
Mr. & Mrs. Hart's tree has been changed to an approved one, it falls
under the City policy adopted by Council, 7-17-78, whereas the homeowner
may have the City remove an approved tree for reasons of the tree being
too dirty or that they just don't like the tree; provided the homeowner
would pay the cost of purchasing a new replacement tree chosen by them
from the approved list plus the labor cost and replanting. They have
been offered this opportunity and have declined.
Notification was handed out to the neighbors stating the Hart's
request for removal. No objections were received.
The tree is a medium sized Laurel, healthy and shows no sign of damage
to the sidewalk, curb and gutter at this time.
