Dear Burlingame Resident:
The Beautification Commission would like to invite you to hopefully one last meeting
concerning the future reforestation of Easton Drive on Thursday, June 28t' at 7:00pm.
Please note that the location for this meeting will:be at the First Presbyterian Church,
Room 204 upstairs. You may use the parking lot on El.Eamino and enter the building
closest to the children's area (the north most building). There is an elevator to take you
to the second floor.
After our last two meetings, we came up with a preferred list of Eucalyptus trees that met
your concerns for safety, height, foliage drop and breadth. Those in attendance at the last
meeting voted on a Sugar Gum to be the predominant tree for future plantings. Because
the Sugar Gum is not readily available in the United States, and because of the
maintenance issues of the Red Flowering Ficifolia, we would like to revisit these tree
selections with you. To assist with this process, staff has investigated a few species that
are available and meet the interests expressed by the public at our first public meeting.
We have included pictures of these trees so you can look them over beforehand.
We. appreciate your understanding and attendance at this final meeting. The
Beautification Commission is working hard to honor your wishes.
Thank you.
Leslie McQuaide
Chairperson
Beautification Commission
