Re; Liquid Amber Tree Removal
Dear Burlingame Beautification Commission,
We are requesting the removal of the Liquid Amber Tree along the curb at 812 Laurel
Ave.
The reason for the request is that the curb and side walk need repair due to the over
growth of the trees root system. The root system also has damaged our lawn and
sprinkler system. Additional, the trees roots have raised the gutter so that the water flow
down the street is impeded. Also during a windstorm in the winter of 2004, a main
branch was snapped from the tree and now it has an unbalanced shape.
We have provided (12) photographs for your reference.
We would like to replace our front yards landscaping early this spring and feel that the
liquid amber tree removal is a key element in our planning.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely, ,
Shari Mayer
