4092 Walnut Drive <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br />December 12, 1974 <br /> <br />~.~ Willia/a Edgar <br />City Manager, <br />City of Pleasanton <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Edgar: <br /> <br />This letter concerns a large Elm tree on my property which <br />t desire to have removed, but which, due to its size, may <br />be considered a "Heritage Tree." <br /> <br />The tree is an Elm, approximately 24-inches in diameter, <br />72-inches in circumference and about 40-feet high. Be- <br />cause of its condition and location, it is a hazard to per- <br />son and property. It is infested with "Borer Worms" and has <br />dry rot in many places in trunk and branches. It has a large <br />cavity in the trunk, about 15-feet above ground. <br /> <br />The tree is located at the rear of my house at 4092 Walnut <br />Drive. It is pressing against the roof of my garage and is <br />exactly 20-feet from the master bedroom at the rear of my <br />house. Because of its infested and weakened condition, I <br />believe the tree to be dangerous. A severe storm with <br />strong winds could cause the tree to break in the area of <br />the cavity, sending the upper part of the tree crashing <br />through the garage, or through the house roof over the master <br />bedroom. The manager of Alexander's Tree Service concurs <br />in this belief and recommends that for safety's sake, the <br />tree be removed. <br /> <br />Therefore, Mr. Edgar, will you please present this information <br />and my formal request to the City Council for their official <br />permission to remove the hazardous tree, at the e~rliest <br />practicable date. <br /> <br />Robert B. <br /> <br />Respectfully yours, <br /> <br /> Ettenborough <br /> <br />car <br /> <br /> <br />
