The Commission's decision was based on reasons stated by the City Arborist in his letter to you on June 1, 2001 that: 1) The tree is a healthy, well formed specimen; that, 2) The tree has been trimmed every 4 years; and that, 3) Roots that have invaded the private lawn area may be removed by the property owner. The Commission noted that the species is consistent with and of significant value to the neighborhood, and that the City Arborist outlined a plan, as he has with other residents, that allows for lawn to be planted under the tree. This decision can be appealed to the City Council in writing within 10 days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions, you may contact our office at (650) 558-7330.
