Welcome New BBC Commissioner — Qiva Dinuri Commission Chair Hunt welcomed Commissioner Dinuri to the Beautification Commission. 2. Oath of Office — Qiva Dinuri Commission Chair Hunt read the Oath of Office to Commissioner Dinuri and she was sworn in. 3. Appeal to the Denied Tree Removal Permit at 2714 Easton Drive Arborist Disco read the staff report regarding the denial to remove a Cedar tree at 2714 Easton Drive. Commissioner Kirchner asked if this is a common problem. Arborist Disco stated there are two issues with the Cedar tree; honeydew from the aphids and sap that is dripping from the tree. The dripping is seasonal and tends to happen more in the summer. Commissioner Hinckle asked Arborist Disco if the tree did not fall in his criteria for removal. Arborist Disco stated he is mainly looking at health and structure but there is language in the ordinance for economic consequences and obligation to the homeowner to consider. Commissioner Dinuri inquired if excessive sap is an indication that a tree is sick. Arborist Disco stated it could be. Commissioner Hunt also inquired about the sap and asked if it could be tested. Public Comment Brian with Davey tree has been involved with the property since the reconstruction in 2012 and has provided tree protection and care during the process to current. He stated the honeydew from the aphids can be treated and washed off fairly easily. Davey has also provided care by way of trimming this Cedar tree which could result in increased sap. He stated that the tree has many cones which are a likely culprit for a lot of the sap also. He believes in saving and caring for trees. He doesn't see any feasible way to keep the tree health and manage the current concerns. His recommendation was to remove the tree and plant a replacement. Arborist Disco asked if there were any roots cut during construction. Brian stated no significant roots were lost during construction. Commissioner Hunt asked what will happen if the tree is removed, to the tree that is intertwined with it. Brian noted he would not expect a change to the tree and the branches will not reach the hardscape of the property. Commissioner Hinckle stated there was so much protection put in place for the preservation of the tree and now they wanted to remove it. Brain stated the plan was always to keep the tree; these issues were unforeseeable developed over time. Arborist Disco stated the hardscape was not there before renovation so it is hard to tell when the issue started. Secretary Chandra read a correspondence from Gary Debal the Architect of the renovation project who strongly supports the removal of the Cedar tree. Appellant Bill Cunningham -Corso the property owner stated they purchased the house 5 years ago. At that time the hill was a forest setting with no hardscape. Mr. Cunningham -Corso stated that he terraced the hill and planted gardens and loves the trees. During renovation preserving the tree was a top priority. He doesn't know what happen during the renovation process to stress the Cedar but it happened. It has been 3 years since the completion of the project and the sap is there every year and accelerating. They have trimmed the tree and power washed the hardscape; the quotes are expensive and the tiles are shot from excess cleaning. They can't use the front yard or steps because it is sticky. They reached the point where it is not working anymore. He said the trees would be replaced. The Ordinance does state safety hazard and economic obligation and the Cedar does fall in those parameters. Commission Discussion Commissioner Kirchner stated that there has to be compelling issues to remove a tree, the Commission is here to protect the trees but the cost to maintain the tree is large. Commissioner Hunt stated she thinks the sap issue needs to be looked into further. Commissioner Kearney addressed the safety issue regarding the stairs stating that the railing and stairs are sticky and if someone takes a fall it is going to be bad. She stated the Ordinance does state tree removal for economic consequences. Commissioner Dinuri stated that she did see the safety issues and the damage to the surface, it's pretty extensive. Commissioner Hinckle spoke to the aesthetics of tree removal. She stated it is more pleasing to have two small trees lower down then the one large up above. Commissioner Kearney moved to uphold the appeal based on the economic consequences and obligations to the homeowner by requiring the tree remain; Chapter 11.06.050(d) (7) of the Municipal Code and requested the City Arborist to determine the type, location and number of replacement trees(s). Commissioner Kirchner seconds the motion. Motion passed 4-1. REPORTS 1.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:55 pm. Respectfully submitted, Gina Borba Administrative Staff BURLIN..ME STAFF REPORT To: Beautification Commission Date: November 2, 2017 From: Bob Disco, Park Superintendent/City Arborist Subject: Appeal to Remove One Cedrus Deodara at 1555 Alturs Drive RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends one of two options. Deny the appeal because the tree is healthy, has been well maintained and is structurally sound and does not meet the criteria for removal based on Ch. 11.06 of the Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance. 2. Uphold the appeal based on the medical discomfort and issues that are being experienced by the homeowner. BACKGROUND The Parks Division received a Protected Tree Removal Permit application on September 18, 2017, for the removal of a Deodar Cedar at 1555 Alturas Drive. Along with the application, the resident included a letter with their reasons for the removal (Exhibit A). The tree is located in the front yard adjacent to the neighbor at 1549 Alturas Drive. The tree is roughly 50-60 feet tall, about 10-12 feet from the foundation of the house and driveway, and was planted in 1980. The permit application listed the reason for removal as "tree creates too much pollen." The letter that accompanied the permit also listed the reasons for removal as evasive roots in the sewer lines, roots cracking and lifting the driveway, previous fire in the chimney, and excessive leaf debris (Exhibit B). The City Arborist inspected the tree on September 28, 2017, and found the tree to be healthy, structurally sound and well maintained. The City Arborist denied the request for removal because the tree did not meet the criteria for removal as listed in Chapter 11.06 of the Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance (Exhibit C). Appeal to Remove One Cedrus Deodara at 1555 Alturs Drive November Z 2017 DISCUSSION The Ordinance states that when reviewing a tree for removal, priority is given to those based on hazard or danger of disease, plus, the condition of the tree with respect to: disease; danger of falling; proximity to existing structures, yards, driveways and other trees; and interference with public utilities. The decision for removal is also based on the necessity to remove the tree in order to construct improvements to the property; topography; the number of tree existing on the property; the number of trees a parcel can adequately support; the effect the tree will have on wind, privacy and noise; and the economic consequences and obligations of requiring a tree to remain (Exhibit D). The City Arborist determined that the tree did not meet any of the criteria and therefore could not approve removal. The City Arborist believes the tree can be preserved by the performance additional maintenance by a licensed qualified tree company. This work would include pruning back any limbs interfering with the chimney, pruning roots lifting the driveway, and thinning the canopy to reduce leaf debris and pollen.

Nannini & Anne Nannini 1555 Alturas Drive Burlingame, CA 94010 650-343-5922 da.nannini(Tgmail.com September 5, 2017 Mr. Bob Disco City of Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department 850 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 RE: Deodora Cedar tree located at 1555 Alturas Drive Dear Mr. Disco, A few weeks ago I spoke with you on the telephone and inquired if you could come and evaluate a tree located on our front yard property that has become massive and is creating a nuisance to our property and that of our neighbors' property, 1549 Alturas Drive. At the time of the call, you said if it's a City or private tree and I said private. You suggested the names of a couple of arborist and said to start there. My husband and I decided, for our health, to have the tree cut down and called three tree companies for estimates. Verbally all three tree companies said the tree is healthy. We would like to remove the tree and replace with a type of evergreen tree that will hopefully grow only half the size of the current tree and not produce pollen. We would work with the City to choose a tree that works for us and the neighborhood. We are in a view ordinance neighborhood but the tree to our knowledge, does not block anyone's view. The Deodora Cedar tree over the last few years of its growth, has produced an abnormal amount of pollen. And because of this pollen, I have been going back and forth with my primary doctor to find ways to control the allergies and sinus headaches that I have endured. Enclosed with this letter is a letter from my primary, Dr. Karl Chan, outlining my condition and the steps I have taken over these last few years to exist with our current situation? But as I am aging, the tree is causing more grief than I can handle and the medication I am taking needs to be taken more frequent than I am comfortable taking. The roots of the Deodora Cedar has caused a few problems over the years but we have always paid to have the problems dealt with. Not sure how far back it started but at the beginning of every winter in the last ten plus years, we have had to have a plumber come to our property to snake out the line from the backyard to the side yard to the street because of backups. Many plumbing companies have been to our house. The culprit, tree roots. In 2013/2014 we had to call a plumber to have a sleeve installed in the line from the side yard to the front yard to the street because the tree roots were becoming more difficult to snake out. A major expense but seems to work so far. We also noticed that the roots are lifting our driveway and creating cracks towards the center of the driveway. During this past winter we had a flue fire and had the fire department here at our home. They felt it was too hot of a fire at first but when I said there was an explosion in the flue, one fireman said there may have been a nest in the flue. The amount of sparks and flame coming out of the flue caused a neighbor driving by, to stop and scream to call 911. 1 had no idea until I went outside to look what the noise was about. Thank goodness for the spark arrestor. Maybe a nest in the flue was not a far-fetched conclusion. Makes you wonder. But do not want to experience a flue fire again. Had to have the chimney arrestor replaced and the flue cleaned but as the chimney sweeper said, the fire cleaned it well. Our neighbor Diana of 1549 Alturas Drive, has politely complained to us a couple of times about the debris the tree leaves on her property and my husband David has gone over many times to clean the driveway if the gardener has already been there. Our tree infringes on our neighbors' Eugenia trees as well as our Eugenia trees not allowing the sun to keep them from growing properly. They are reaching so high for the sun that they have become very woody. We personally have had the Deodora Cedar thinned and trimmed twice in the last nine years. It continues to grow more rapidly than we can keep up with and this also has become an ongoing expense. Currently the tree is again infringing on our neighbors' house. Because it is our tree, we have never asked Diana to help share the cost in dealing with the trimming. With this application and letter, Diana Wang has concurred of what we have written and has signed this letter too in hopes of having the tree cut down. The Deodora Cedar was planted by my husband's father in 1980 and was probably all of three feet tall. The time has come to remove the tree and replant another tree that will be conducive to the neighborhood and enjoyed by all. We are aware that the City of Burlingame is the City of Trees and we respect this title and want to continue to keep our City green with trees. We have no problem replacing the tree. The only request we have, it be a tree that will stay green 365 days of the year and definitely not produce pollen. We will consider any suggestion from the City but ultimately it will be our decision that is final. In conclusion please respect our request and help us to live a cleaner and healthier life. At our age, we can no longer live and handle the Deodora Cedar tree as it exists. Sincerely, 4110- Anne and David L.

We, Anne and David Nannini, are sending this letterto appeal a decision made by Mr. Bob Disco, denying our request to remove the above mentioned tree and replace with a tree that will not create pollen and droppings. I, Anne Nannini, have a severe allergy to the tree. Up until 4 years ago, the pollens have caused me grief but not like it has caused in these most recent years. The Deodora tree was planted by my father-in-law when we moved into our neighborhood in September 1979. The tree has been trimmed and thinned out several times during its period of growth but has grown out of control in the past four years and the pollens that come off of this tree is unforgiving. This is the reason we are requesting its removal. Not sure if it has to do with the drought we have experienced these past several years or its age but we need to have the tree removed. This is a health issue to me and I need to know the City of Burlingame will work with my husband and me to come to an understanding that respects all parties. Enclosed is all the information I sent to Mr. Disco along with his letter of denial to remove. I have sent to all my neighbors listed on Mr. Disco's letter, dated October 2, 2017 but received on Tuesday, October 9, 2017, a copy of my letter for removal along with the letter from my primary physician. I have asked the neighbors to either acknowledge their concern with our tree directly to you should they have an opinion about the matter. We love our City of Burlingame and know many people and have always been involved with our local school district, the high school district and our local government officials. We have been around for a very long time and like anything in this world, things age and with age comes health issues. What may not have bothered me 20 to 30 years ago is making me ill now. Please take all of our information and allow us to remove the Deodora tree and replace with a tree that we and our neighbors can live with. Respectfully, Anne Nannini r� vid L. Nannini October 13, 2017 Willy and Sandy Ostertag 3104 Cananea PI Burlingame, CA 94010 RE: 1555 Alturas Drive Dear Willy and Sandy: Anne and David L. Nannini 1555 Alturas Drive SP'k Burlingame, CA 94010 650-343-5922 — da.nannini@gmail.com `� ►� ` 'Sdn� 1'QCef�x U2 I am writing this letter to you for assistance. Back in February of this year, you were driving home from dinner I believe, and stopped in front of my house and hollered to call 911 because of sparks and fire coming out of my chimney flue. Because I heard your scream, I went out on my back deck and witnessed what you had seen. Came back in the house and called 911. The problem is by the time the fire department arrived there was no sign of what we had both witnessed. Why am I bringing this up??? I have requested a permit to remove the Deodora Cedar tree between me and my neighbor and replace with a tree that will not produce pollen or droppings that have been of control. I have a severe allergy to this breed of tree and have lived with it over the years but now that I am older the pollen that comes off this tree is creating grief and I need to remove. The City is denying the permit because it is a healthy tree and the City ordinance does not allow tree removal for health reasons. I need to go to a Beautification commission meeting on November 2nd and plead my case. This is where I need some help from both of you if you are willing. When the fire department was here to investigate my call at the time one fireman said maybe from what I was describing and you and I witnessed, a nest may have been in the flue. I found that hard to believe because there is a spark arrestor on top of the chimney so I said how could a bird get into the flue and create a nest. Everyone agreed at the time that my fire may have been to hot and that caused what sounded like a fireball roaring up the flue, sound. There may have been creosol collected inside my flue but I told the fire department that we burn when we are allowed to burn and we only burn clean wood. Oak or almond. The incident report does not describe what we witnessed. Only that the fire department arrived and saw only smoke coming out of the chimney. It did rain lightly that night and we truly believe had everything been dry a fire could have occurred. What my husband and I were hoping if you two could write up something saying you witnessed the flames and sparks coming out of the chimney. Also the fact that you were driving by the house on your way home. My husband and I now believe the needles from the cedar tree on windy days and nights may have collected in the flue and because we hardly had that many burn days during the winter of 2016-2017 that the dry needles collected and caused the sound of a fireball roaring up the flue. I know I am giving you a lot of information that is not necessary but I wanted to explain our situation and we would like to use this fire call as one of our concerns for having the tree removed. With everything that has been going on this past week in Santa Rosa and Napa/Sonoma we would like to make sure something of that magnitude does not occur here, especially because we live next to the canyon. If you would like to send it via email, this is acceptable. I only need you to say you witnessed the fire and sparks coming out of the flue and how frightening it was.

On arrival, E35 found a two story residential home with nothing showing from the front and established "Alturas IC". The occupant, Anne Nannini met us in the front and stated that she has a fire in her fireplace and she heard a loud pop and saw a lot of sparks come out of her chimney. E35 investigated and found a fire in the fireplace and no sparks coming out of the chimney. The fireplace was located in the family room which had vaulted ceilings and no attic space. E35 used the TIC camera and found the walls and ceiling around the fireplace 75-80 degrees. E35 investigated the exterior of the fireplace and found no signs of excessive heat including the roof around the chimney. E35 terminated "Alturas IC' and canceled the balance of resources and returned to service. https://imagetrendelite.comlElite/OrganizationcentralcountylAtD crencycentralcoulFirelneide... 10/12/2017 Incident 14292 Page 5 of 15 M Authorization CC1043 I I Giacollo, Ken I I Captain I I 1102/11/2017 Officer In Charge ID Signature Position or Rank Assignment Date ICC1043 I I Glacotto, Ken I I Captain I I 1102111/2017 Member Making Report ID Signature Position or Rank Assignment Date https://irnagetrendelite. com/Elite/Organizationcentralcounty/Agencycentralcou/Firelncide... 10/ 12/2017 Ions (208 L).

October 9, 2017 TO OUR NEIGHBORS We moved here in September, 1979, at which time we were one of the young families on the street with two small boys that ultimately grew up along with their sister in our neighborhood. I am appealing to my neighbors to help us with an issue we are currently experiencing and should you be inclined to offer assistance, please consider sending a letter or email to The Beautification Commission of which I have enclosed their information with this letter. Mr. Disco did not supply my medical information with his notice to the neighbors of which I respect but I need the neighbors to know why we requested a permit for removal. My medical condition is the main reason for the removal besides the other points I presented in my letter. We requested a permit for the removal of the Deodora Cedar between our house and Diana Wang's house. We are willing to replace this tree we planted but our City of Trees, Burlingame, has deny our request. We understand the beauty of this tree but the pollens that come off this tree are creating a health issue for me and I need to do what I can for my health. No one wants to see a healthy tree removed but we promise we will replace with a tree that will benefit the neighborhood and my health. We will respect your response but we hope you will take the time to respond either way to Mr. Disco or the Beautification Commission. Thanking all of our neighbors in advance...

From the information you provided, the pollen from the tree is causing you grief and discomfort. Unfortunately, my decision to approve or deny protected trees is based solely on the Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance 11.06. The Ordinance does not account for allergies or health issues and therefore I must deny your request for removal. As I stated in the attached letter, you may appeal my decision to the Burlingame Beautification Conunission. The commission has the flexibility to uphold or deny my decision based on any information you provide them during the meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 650-558-7330.

Nannini & Anne Nannini 1555 Alturas Drive Burlingame, CA 94010 650-343-5922 da.nannini@grnail.coi n September 5, 2017 Mr. Bob Disco City of Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department 850 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 RE: Deodora Cedar tree located at 1555 Alturas Drive Dear Mr. Disco, A few weeks ago I spoke with you on the telephone and inquired if you could come and evaluate a tree located on our front yard property that has become massive and is creating a nuisance to our property and that of our neighbors' property, 1549 Alturas Drive. At the time of the call, you said if it's a City or private tree and I said private. You suggested the names of a couple of arborist and said to start there. My husband and I decided, for our health, to have the tree cut down and called three tree companies for estimates. Verbally all three tree companies said the tree is healthy. We would like to remove the tree and replace with a type of evergreen tree that will hopefully grow only half the size of the current tree and not produce pollen. We would work with the City to choose a tree that works for us and the neighborhood. We are in a view ordinance neighborhood but the tree to our knowledge, does not block anyone's view. The Deodora Cedar tree over the last few years of its growth, has produced an abnormal amount of pollen. And because of this pollen, I have been going back and forth with my primary doctor to find ways to control the allergies and sinus headaches that I have endured. Enclosed with this letter is a letter from my primary, Dr. Karl Chan, outlining my condition and the steps I have taken over these last few years to exist with our current situation? But as I am aging, the tree is causing more grief than I can handle and the medication I am taking needs to be taken more frequent than I am comfortable taking. The roots of the Deodora Cedar has caused a few problems over the years but we have always paid to have the problems dealt with. Not sure how far back it started but at the beginning of every winter in the last ten plus years, we have had to have a plumber come to our property to snake out the line from the backyard to the side yard to the street because of backups. Many plumbing companies have been to our house. The culprit, tree roots. In 2013/2014 we had to call a plumber to have a sleeve installed in the line from the side yard to the front yard to the street because the tree roots were becoming more difficult to snake out. A major expense but seems to work so far. We also noticed that the roots are lifting our driveway and creating cracks towards the center of the driveway. During this past winter we had a flue fire and had the fire department here at our home. They felt it was too hot of a fire at first but when I said there was an explosion in the flue, one fireman said there may have been a nest in the flue. The amount of sparks and flame coming out of the flue caused a neighbor driving by, to stop and scream to call 911. 1 had no idea until I went outside to look what the noise was about. Thank goodness for the spark arrestor. Maybe a nest in the flue was not a far-fetched conclusion. Makes you wonder. But do not want to experience a flue fire again. Had to have the chimney arrestor replaced and the flue cleaned but as the chimney sweeper said, the fire cleaned it well. Our neighbor Diana of 1549 Alturas Drive, has politely complained to us a couple of times about the debris the tree leaves on her property and my husband David has gone over many times to clean the driveway if the gardener has already been there. Our tree infringes on our neighbors' Eugenia trees as well as our Eugenia trees not allowing the sun to keep them from growing properly. They are reaching so high for the sun that they have become very woody. We personally have had the Deodora Cedar thinned and trimmed twice in the last nine years. It continues to grow more rapidly than we can keep up with and this also has become an ongoing expense. Currently the tree is again infringing on our neighbors' house. Because it is our tree, we have never asked Diana to help share the cost in dealing with the trimming. With this application and letter, Diana Wang has concurred of what we have written and has signed this letter too in hopes of having the tree cut down. The Deodora Cedar was planted by my husband's father in 1980 and was probably all of three feet tall. The time has come to remove the tree and replant another tree that will be conducive to the neighborhood and enjoyed by all. We are aware that the City of Burlingame is the City of Trees and we respect this title and want to continue to keep our City green with trees. We have no problem replacing the tree. The only request we have, it be a tree that will stay green 365 days of the year and definitely not produce pollen. We will consider any suggestion from the City but ultimately it will be our decision that is final. In conclusion please respect our request and help us to live a cleaner and healthier life. At our age, we can no longer live and handle the Deodora Cedar tree as it exists. Sincerely, Anne and David L.

I have lived at 1547 Alturas Drive since 1972, and am very well acquainted with the Nannini family and know them to be wonderful, considerate neighbors. It has been difficult for me to watch Anne have increasingly more painful and frequent allergy attacks caused by the pollen from the Cedar Tree on their property. It's my understanding that her strong allergic reaction to Cedar Tree Pollen has been well documented by an allergy specialist and submitted as evidence in their petition to the City. As a concerned neighbor with interest in supporting the well-being as well as the aesthetics of our neighborhood, it is my opinion that the Nannini's should be granted permission to remove the Cedar Tree that causes the allergy and replace it, as they have offered, with a tree which remains green 365 days a year and does not produce pollen.

Your appeal will be scheduled for the next regular meeting; the Beautification Commission meets the first Thursday of each month.

Adjacent property owner(s) at the address(s) listed below are also receiving notification of this decision.

From the information you provided, the pollen from the tree is causing you grief and discomfort. Unfortunately, my decision to approve or deny protected trees is based solely on the Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance 11.06. The Ordinance does not account for allergies or health issues and therefore I must deny your request for removal. As I stated in the attached letter, you may appeal my decision to the Burlingame Beautification Commission. The commission has the flexibility to uphold or deny my decision based on any information you provide them during the meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 650-558-7330.

The city of Burlingame is endowed and forested with a variety of healthy and valuable trees which must be pro- tected and preserved. The preservation of these trees is essential to the health, welfare and quality of life of the citizens of the city because these trees preserve the scenic beauty of the city, maintain ecological balance, prevent erosion of top soil, counteract air pollution and oxygenate the air, absorb noise, maintain climatic and microclimatic balance, help block wind, and provide shade and color. For these same reasons, the requirement of at least one tree, exclusive of city -owned trees, on every residential lot in the city should be part of the permit process for any con- struction or remodeling. It is the intent of this chapter to establish conditions and regulations for the removal and replacement of existing trees and the installation of new trees in new construction and development consistent with these purposes and the reasonable economic enjoyment of private property. (Ord. 1057 § 1 (part), (1975); Ord. 1470 § 1, (1992); Ord. 1598 § 1 (part), (1998)) 11.06.020 Definitions.

(d) "Director" means the director of parks and recrea- tion of the city of Burlingame. (e) "Landscape tree" means a generally recognized ornamental tree and shall exclude fruit, citrus, or nut - bearing trees. (f) "Protected tree" means: (1) Any tree with a circumference of forty-eight (48) inches or more when measured fifty-four (54) inches above natural grade; or (2) A tree or stand of trees so designated by the city council based upon findings that it.is unique and of impor- tance to the public due to its unusual appearance, location, historical significance or other factor; or (3) A stand of trees in which the director has deter- mined each tree is dependent upon the others for survival. (g) "Pruning" means the removal of more than one third of the crown or existing foliage of the tree or more than one third of the root system. Pruning done without a permit or which does not conform to the provisions of a permit shall be deemed.a removal- (h) "Removal" means cutting to the ground,"extrac- tion, killing by spraying, girdling, or any other means. (Ord. 1057 § 1 (part), (1975); Ord. 1470 § .1, (1992); Ord. 1492 § 1, (1993); Ord. 1598 § 1 (part), (1998)) 11.06.030 Nomination and listing of protected trees. Nomination for protected tree status under Section 11.06.020(f)(2) may be made by any citizen. The commis- sion shall review such nominations and present its recom- mendations to the city council for designation. A listing of trees so designated, including the specific locations thereof, shall be kept by the department and shall be available for distribution to interested citizens. The city council may remove a designated tree from the list upon its own motion or upon request. Requests for such action may originate in the same manner as nomina- tions for protected tree status.
