Request from homeowner to remove tree
Mr. Kennedy of 1641Greenmeadow Avenue has requested that the parkway tree
in front of his residence be removed and replaced.
The tree is a Bronze Loquat. They are more of a large shrub than a tree
growing to a height of perhaps 15 feet. They bear a fruit which drops
making it a very messy tree.
As for sidewalk damage, I could not see any evidence, however, this tree was
never on an approved tree list for the City because of the dropping of the
fruit and being rather unsightly.
Recommendation:
Remove as requested and replace with a City approved tree.

Dear Homeowner:
Your neighbor Ray J. Kenney of 1641Greenmeadow Avenue has requested
that the City remove the parkway tree from in front of his residence.
This tree is causing the sidewalk to be raised and is a very messy
species.
Since the removal of this tree effects the enviornment in which you
live, we request in writing any objections you may have to its removal.
If we have not heard from you in writing within 10 days we will assume
you have no objections to its removal.
If you have any questions, please call mY office at 544-8890 ext. 240.
Sincere,

Attention: Mr. Hugh West,
Maintenance Superintendent
Dear Mr. West:
In 1979 I complained about the tree in front of our home
that is on public (city) domain. I notified you that the
tr~e was causing the sidewalk to lift in a tilting fashion
and also move sideways. You subsequently sent out a crew
that cut the roots ~that they thought were causing the
problem.
This letter is to notify you and the City that the tree
is continuing to grow and the roots are lifting the side-
walk further. I feel that this represents a hazard to the
children and to other pedestrians who may trip over the
walk.
I request that the City remove this tree before someone
is injured and see what you can do about the side walk.
I also request that you not replace the tree.
Please advise what can be done about this at your earliest
convenience.
