BACKGROUND: Staff received a request from Mr. Michael Smith of 17341 Amaganset Way for the removal of a "Ficus" tree located within the parkway in front of his residence. Mr. Smith has indicated that the roots from this t.ree have been causing problems with the sanitary sewer latera.1 serving his residence. DISCUSSION: Staff has reviewed Mr. Smith's request for tree removal and confirmed that the tree is l'ocated close enough to the sewer lateral to potentially cause root infiltration problems. Per current City policy, on June 7, 1983, staff sent letters to nine (9) property owners within the immediate neighborhood soliciting their objections, if any, to the removal of said tree. As of this date, no replies either for or against the removal have been received. It is suggested that the Ficus tree at 17341Amaganset Way be removed as requested and a replacement tree be replanted at a suitable location, if available, that would not interfere with the sanitary sewer lateral.
