RepOrt of the Director of _Public Works Regort Re: Removal of Tree at 4062 Walnut Drive Mr. Fales reviewed the policy for maintaining, removing and replacing street trees. He also reviewed the report of the Director of Public Works regarding the request of Mrs. Gremillion, 4062 Walnut Drive for the removal of a Modesto Ash tree in the public right-of-way that is raising a section of the sidewalk and the roots are surfacing the lawn area. Mr. Campbell explained that the Modesto Ash is notorious for a prolific and surface root system due primarily to improper watering when young. He also stated that if it becomes policy to allow the removal of trees for the reasons promulgated by Mrs. Gremillion, the City could lose several hundred trees and entire streets could be denuded. Councilman Rega stated he was opposed to Mrs. Gremillion's request for policy reasons, and also he felt that root pruning and the repair of the sidewalk would alleviate the problem and also save the tree. Councilman Spiliotopoulos stated that he felt the chance of reoccurance of surface roots and the repair of the sidewalk was creating an undue hardship on Mrs. Gremillion. After some discussion on this matter, it was moved by Councilman Spiliotopoulos and seconded by Councilman Betaills that the City allow the removal of the tree in the public right-of-way at 4062 Walnut Drive, replace the tree, and repair the sidewalk.
