MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Manager <br />FROM: Director of Engineering Services <br />February 18, 1976 <br />SUBJECT: Heritage Tree Removal - 4011 Francisco Street <br />A request for removal of three heritage trees has been received <br />from Mrs. Sofia Estrella and a public hearing has been advertised <br />for February 23, 1976. <br />The trees in question are located in the required side yard, <br />14 feet behind sidewalk and 3 feet from the rear yard side fence <br />on Kolln Drive frontage of the above address. The tree closest <br />to the house is 21 feet from the rear property line, has a 22-ir;c"~ <br />diameter trunk, and is approximately 40 feet high. This tree has <br />galls about 6 feet from the ground and has many surface roots. <br />7'he second tree is 9 feet from the rear property line, has an <br />11°inch diameter trunk and is approximately 40 feet high. The <br />third tree is 3 feet. from the rear property line, has a 27-inch <br />diameter trunk and is also approximately 40 feet high. Removal <br />is requested to allow construction of a swimming pool because it's <br />_. <br />roots and leaves will create problems. "" "" <br />In view of the fact. that the trees are located within the side <br />yard and not in the fenced back yard, I can not support the removal. <br />of all three heritage trees. The prevailing winds would reduce <br />the leaf problems as most dropping leaves would he blown across <br />the street. <br />It is recommended that Mrs. Estrella be allowed to remove the <br />diseased tree closest to the house and that the other two trees <br />be preserved. <br />Attached fox your information are copies of correspondence that. has <br />taken place concerning this matter. <br />~~ ..(~ <br />
